Megadeth founder/singer/guitarist Dave Mustaine has every right to be pissed. The original lead guitarist for Metallica 20 years ago, he’s been getting screwed over by them via taunting and/or being outright ignored for years.
And now they’re screwing with him again. This time around, the kick in the ass comes prior to the release of Megadeth’s 10th official studio effort This System Has Failed (Sanctuary/EMI). While Mustaine has a number of lucid comments on This System Has Failed [the album speaks for itself frankly], the sordid Megadeth history and his own career, it’s when he’s able to vent about the Metallica movie Some Kind Of Monster that his wit and frustration truly come out.
"Everyone says how the part with me [in the movie] is the most intense. Yeah, because I’m the only one who thinks Lars is a punk," he continues. "Everyone else is afraid of him. He looks like a ****in’ Eminem wannabe right now. Anyone who watches that movie and doesn’t realize that whoever comes into contact with Lars hates him… If you watch the movie closely, you see that Lars treats everyone so badly. They all end up in therapy! Even the counselor ended up in therapy!"
