Dave Mustaine loves Jesus almost as much as he loves drugs.

Based on the quality of reporting/editing these days, I would blame World Entertainment News Network for bad writing/editing. I don't follow Megadeth or Dave Mustaine but he seems to be a stand-up guy who appears to have been giving credit to everyone that helped to make the giving possible.

Don't doubt that he has altered a few brain cells along the way though.

I've done Pop Rocks. Same thing?

what wait what? He became born again a few years ago. doesn't mean he can't rock just as hard.

What do you mean he doesn't believe in god? He talks to him everyday.

Dave is a nice person and yes, he became fairly religous a while back. I don't think he's a freak about it, though.

Back when I knew him, he was one of those guys who thought it was cool to aim a karate kick at your head and just miss your nose by two inches. That gets old real fast. I hope he doesn't do it any more.

"Hey kid, merry Christmas. Roundhouse kick! YAAH!"
"Mommy!"

Huh. Cool. Little bit unexpected, but cool.

I bet he went incognito, but when everybody rose, the Reverend Smithy recognized him and punched him in the nose.

He delivered the gifts from down in his pulpit as the holier than-thou-could-be-messenger of God.

He also shot that psycho gunman in the Colorado Springs megachurch a few weeks ago, didn't you guys catch that?

Funny how since he found jebus that the band has sucked. You're a THRASH band, that means play fast you turtle.

GibbyTheMole 2007-12-26 07:28:14 AM  
I'm not a big fan of Megadeth (a couple songs are ok) or organized religion as a whole.

That being said, Dave seems like a cool guy & he's doing something mighty good. So kudos to Dave.

Peace,
Gib :-)

It was better than the schlock and cheese Neil's been putting out since, say, 1976, and the good outweighed the bad but overall, meh. Not sorry I bought it, just don't listen to it that much.

If he was a real Christian he would be fighting the gheys and evolution rather than helping those who are less fortunate.

he would also be killing the women who are going to get abortions and would be in africa trying to convert the brown people.

Calm down, Maude. Dave Mustaine is thinking of the children.

He did a pretty hilarious anti UN song called United Abominations.

Metal was 25 years ago. If you are still alive and playing you were either in it for fashion, cleaned yourself up, or have an iron liver.

Derwood: Not even God himself can save Mustaine from sucking at music

My thoughts are that Dave might've well sold his soul after the "career ending" arm injury, to get the ability to play back. As well as his voice. Live, his voice is awful. I still need to obtain the last two albums, though, to complete my Megadeth collection.

And yes, you can have it when I die.

I haven't listened to Megadeth since I was a teenager.
Are they still doing well?

I remember getting my mom to buy Rust in Peace for me when i was 11-12

Indeed they are.

Touring the UK in February. I'll be at the Newcastle and Glasgow shows.

This article's the reason why Dave Mustaine is all kinds of awesome.

His last couple albums after the injury thing have actually been decent. Better than the previous few and Metcrappica's Load/Reload/St. Anger anyway.

Yeah, we'd all much rather have him become some washed out, hopped up druggie who dies in a pool of his own vomit after an all-night binge, right?

Right?

Jedekai 2007-12-27 01:19:40 PM  
Dave Mustaine: Wrote "The Thing That Should Not Be" "The Call of The Ktulu" and "Orion". Making him the greatest songwriter they ever had. Earns the same title as Cliff Burton and honorable mention Jason Newstead for being the best members of Metallica.

/For not making St. Anger. Sweet Christ that thing blew.

 
dog_ninja 2007-12-27 09:49:22 PM  
theres no proof he wrote either orion or the thing that should not be. and i'm fairly sure you're wqrong there anyway. I've only ever heard him to have claimed to write leper messiah. which is the best song on the album anyway.

 
JQPublic [TotalFark] 2007-12-27 10:01:03 PM  
Dave did a great thing for all these kids for Christmas. He should be applauded. Where is all the hate coming from?


lomans: 99 ways to die has got to be one of the best hard rock songs ever. Seriously.

True that. However the video is jam-packed full of phony statistics to support the anti-gun message.

Here is some useless trivia: Pink Floyd used to be called "The Meggadeaths".
