One thing I admire the hell out of is the fact that Mustaine admits the fact that he was a violent drunk. Props to him! I love both Metallica and Megadeth!
I guess Dave regreted he was kicked but what he did immediatelly as he was expelled - found Megadeth - makes him a legend. Personally I love Megadeth more than any other band.
Dhany Iconic funny how i heard thus lines in my head like mustaine sings it with his weird voice styles while playing some awesome riffs :D. ive heard too much megadeth the last days i guess. im not even a fan or metalfreak. :D
"I was a drunk prick to everyone, I appeared to be jeopardizing to your future, and all the hard work you put into your band, and it turned out that you guys didn't like it? How could this be?"
Rick Sanchez Fucking LOL. As if Megadeth didn't follow Metallica immediately after the Black Album became a success starting with the dumbing down of their style on Countdown. Megadeth continued to sell out with Cryptic Writings and later Risk, which was probably poppier than Metallica ever went. The reason you never hear about it is because they failed and resorted back to their thrash roots. They also tried again with Super Collider and failed. Megadeth has sold out just as hard as Metallica but couldn't break the musical barrier. Besides, both band have been writing predictable and formulaic bullshit for decades now.
@@SpiralDream If you knew the real differences between Metallica and Megadeth, nothing else would matter. Megadeth won't be forgotten. Metallica will be remembered for something other than the shit they wrote for the last 25-30 years. Believe me. You'll never forget Metallica. Once you know. You're going to. Wait for it.
Yea but I wish dave mustaine and cliff button stayed together with metalica longer makeing hits cliff mother fucking button amd Dave mustaine together come on man
@@ralphbyrd1435 not like either Cliff or Dave had much of a choice as to whether or not they could stay longer with Metallica. I'm sure Cliff in particular would have preferred to stick around vs dying on tour in Sweden by no fault of his own.
monokhem he's no slouch as a lead guitar player, that can't be denied but he is nowhere as great he thinks he is. To hear him tell it, he's the greatest lead guitar player ever. No, he's not that but he is better than Hammett. At my best before I injured my hand, I could play most of Hammett solos better than he could probably but I can't say the same about Mustaine and his solos. The man's got no humility however and he never will.
Ira van den Heuvel he knows what he's got, and also if you say that he thinks he is the best lead GUITAR, than why do think he says that he only hires guitar players that are better players than he is according to him

Megadeth's music is masterful and their lyrics are brilliant and cynical, but they lack the emotional depth Metallica had. I never felt any seriously dark or emotional tone listening to a Megadeth record, and this is by and large because of Dave's vocals.
sometimes I wonder what James or Lars would've made of themselves if they were the one that was kicked out. Would they have formed and fronted the 2nd biggest metal band in the world at that time? Who knows. I believe James might have because he writes the bulk of the music and was just as driven but we'll never know. We do know what Dave did and he deserves credit for that.
They WERE gonna boot asshole (never in time live) LARZ. Right around the same time they kicked Mustaine. Say what you want but Dave cant get along with anyone except Junior.

@@bigbobbitchinii123 His newest album (Megadeths) is great with Chris Adler on Drums & Kiko Loureiro on lead. Best work since Countdown to Extinction.

@@bigbobbitchinii123 you have a point about Dave being hard to work with. Dave and James were probably doomed as band mates from the beginning because they both need to lead creatively. Not to mention as you kind of said, Dave is a jerk.
@@justinblink180nutz7 I word things bad. I meant that Megadeth is number 2. My point was, if James or Lars had been the one kicked out of Metallica on that day instead of Dave, would either one of them have been as successful as Dave? Obviously we'll never know but we do know what Dave did.
I had the opportunity to speak with Dave Mustaine for about 5 minutes on Bill Street and he seems like a very humble dude approachable down to earth badass
So glad Dave landed on his feet, it was ruthless how he was treated, imagine just about to go into a studio and record an album, this is your big chance in life, he had nothing...apparently he sold everything to live his dream...and then your dumped just before you go into the studio and to top it off they use your songs to get them on..not only that kirk pretty much just copied Dave's solos for kill em all..and they send him on a 4 day trip back home on a shitty bus...so long Dave....thanks a lot Dave....they didn't careless if he topped himself, and to rub salt in the wound they use his songs on the 2nd album too!!!!...and people wonder why Dave was so bitter for so long??? as much as i love Metallica that was a shitty thing to do...if that was me i would of fucking shot em...so glad he made it.
Pedro Lopes Fuck you, it wouldn't happen because I'm not a fucking psycho when I drink alcohol. And I don't do the crazy ass drugs that he was constantly doing. He had to be kicked out, and he was a bitch after it happened. So stfu.
***** this is fucking metal mike hawk when your albums called kill em all and that's just what dave was trying to do he was living the lifestyle man im glad they kicked him out though because megadeth destroys metallica
Ahhh.... so it was Brian Slagel who directed Lars' attention to Cliff and not some stoke of destiny as Lars would like for all of us to believe. If I'm not mistaken, Slagel did the same in bringing Jason to the band's attention immediately following Cliff's passing. Brian Slagel doesn't get nearly enough credit for the success of Metallica as he should.
VredesStall oh..cause their were no good bass players but cliff n pic boy jason ? At either time ? Your high. The riffs drums n lyrics sold the band. Each n every album.
He quit because of Mustains wild drinking and I don't blame him, I hate to be around loud obnoxious drunks too that constantly start fights and cause trouble ,and I know they were all drinkers but even James and Lars got tired of it which is why they finally kicked him out of the band.
I've seen this VH1 piece at least 20 times over the years, can trade lines back and forth just as they're about to be said, and it still doesn't get old. \m/
@@doomguy3559 why he was the only drummer in the band and was the founding member and without him than no Metallica so give us reasons huh give us reasons
@@Miist3rDuce1 because he is a bad drummer and he is a sellout and also cannot play his OWN songs correctly James even said that he is not a good drumer.
Lucretia I know. Love your name. Great Megadeth song. Lars being a mediocre drummer at best being smug is hilarious. "Listen to Lars wailing on the drums" said nobody ever.
Well there was the time he poured the beer on Ron's bass, then there was the time Dave's dog jumped on Ron's car and James kicked it and Dave beat his ass. I'm not sure which happened first.
Connor Jones megadeth is way better much more consistent heavier and thrashier then Metallica ever has and ever will be. Listen to dystopia. New megadeth 2021. Be ready.
i seen metallica 4 times .. every song is my favorite.. im 60 years old. and i still rock.. and when i go to algodones to the green door i play metallica.. keep rocking you older music..
All I have to say is Long Live Megadeth!!🤘🤘. Can't even imagine what it would have been like? Dave getting kicked out was the best thing that could happen!
This was likely the best live performance of Kill em All, post Dave Mustaine! Dave brought many of these fave songs to Metallica. They grooved perfectly for the fast & furious metal shredding for the 80's! Their competition was glamour metal with occasional riffs but not so much head-bangin but as much chick-based! Metallica drew the harder rockers away to their own brand of metal which lyrics were as true as the music it was intertwined with. I can't believe it's been almost 40 yrs since I first heard Metallica, then Anthrax & Megadeath! But those times are difficult to beat! I'm grateful I was a 7th grader when they evolved! They came not long after after AC/DC! I was happy when Dave was no longer w/Metallica! I knew he was an awesome musician, but he did party a bit in excess. When they parted, it likely saved his life! He was able to command his own destiny with Megadeath! Imagine there never being such a band as Megadeath? He was destined to create his own niche in Metal History! I can give a shit about who said what? I was displeased when Jason was gone too! But he needed some space to grow for himself too! They are all Metal Gods!
Kicking out Dave was a wrong move by Metallica but there born a Legendary Band.. #Megadeth .. I like Megadeth's music better... No hate .. just prefer Megadeth
I always pass by that abandoned building on Archer Ave on my daily commute, but I had no idea anything significant was ever there. Crazy to think about.
Awesome!!!🤘🤘🤘seen them live three times. And Justice For All🤘🤘🤘Where ever I may roam 91, Muskegon Michigan🤘🤘🤘they came again!!! No where else to roam, 4 years later
it is very interesting to imagine what metallica would be if dave mustaine had never got kicked out.. But on the other hand, there is no words for what Dave Mustaine made for Megadeth \m/
I was in a band w/ similar circumstances, daves' departure was inevitable, you can try and try every single day to tolerate each other, but eventually, there's that breaking point. Thank God 4 that. Or we wouldn't have Megadeth, which is the greatest thing since sliced bread, even better, Dave you and Megadeth are a Godsend, you are the best and you'd be surprised at how many of us know that. U
I was in high school when Kill Em All came out. I'll never forget it. I've followed them ever since and I'll dare to say I enjoy everything they do even to this day. I own all their albums plus some. You have to understand that artists evolve over time and they cannot stay the same indefinitely. So did they sell out with he Black album? I don't think so. It was part of their artistic evolution into adults and men. Death Magnetic was very crunchy and I thought it was excellent. But I admit it would be cool for them to do a retrospective album maybe revisiting some old school ideas. I think the only band I know of that has remained the same with their particular formula is AC/DC. Every album they make is so AC/DC and they have a formula they stick to. I think it works for them but their most recent albums are not so popular even though they are still very good. My 2 cents anyway.... LOL ;) Come get some Catspit~!
Jeremy Robertson Are you serious right now? Nuclear Blast, the label that distributes half the metal in Europe, including In Flames and fucking NIGHTWISH, is a “tiny little indy label?” You lost absolutely all credibility with that lame-ass statement. And by the way, I don’t know where you live, but Symphony of Destruction off yes, “Countdown to Extinction” was FUCKING HUGE. All over MTV (which meant something in those halcyon days of 1992), and all over the radio, even here in Memphis, TN, which has the worst radio market for a city of over a million people in the nation. If it’s on the radio here, you better believe it’s fucking mainstream. Sorry, dude, you’re just wrong. Hate Metallica if you want, that’s your right, but making up shit to make the bands you like somehow look more “real” or whatever just makes you look like an asshole. And an incorrect one, at that. An embarrassment to humanity? Maybe not, that’s a bit much, but wrong? Most definitely.
Mustaine was on another level. Mustaine taught Hetfield almost every single riff and chord yet Hetfield still remains as an "average" rhythm guitar player. Compare the rhythm sections in Metallica and Megadeth, it's a no brainer. Not to mention the Spider Chord. Hammet and Metallica got famous at the expense of Mustaine, they could of asked him to stop drinking, a second chance would of been nice but in the end Metallica made the RIGHT decision. Because now we have Megadeth.
I recorded this episode of behind the music on VHS back in like 1997. I watched the shit out of this, and love it! Watching this brings great memories!
Dave would have left sooner or later. Dave is a music genius and his ideas would have clashed with james and Lars. Plus he survived where I'm sure james and Lars wanted to see him in ruins.
I think it's amazing how this music needed to be invented. It just seems like something that should exist, not like some discovery. Nowadays, there isn't too many bands that come up with something new (and good) it's all just influenced by previous bands. There doesn't seem to be another genre that could be invented, we've ran out of ideas.
I never understood Lars in these old interviews in regard to Mustaine. He comes off as so fucking cold and smug knowing that he had always kept in contact with Dave even after Dave's firing. Know YEARS have passed and they are friends now, but just the fact that Lars comes off that way at a time when the interview was conducted and they did in fact keep in touch during that time - just never understood it.
"The band became an underground sensation." If Cliff had never died, Metallica would be as awesome as ever. There would be no Load, Black Album or, oh god, St Anger...They'd still be genuine underground thrashers. Sure, they wouldn't have money to wipe their ass with, or their big houses and such, but they'd be a pure 100 % thrash metal band to the fucking core.
Probably not. Cliff liked all different kinds of music. Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, classical. Even James has said that cliff didn’t make them fast. Fuck even mop is not “pure thrash.”
Cliff was the only guy looking like a hippie in the band. And if he didn't pass away, he'd contribute a lot to Metallica during the more popular period (maybe there'd never be a Load, which would be nice). I think Cliff would prevent Metallica from the terrible albums following the Black Album (the Black Album, although nice, marks the beginning of the downfall of the band.
I sorta doubt that since they were going for a more progressive sound after Master, we might've gotten an album similar to Justice with 2 to 3 songs dropped. Then they'd likely complain about the songs being too long, get tired and outgrow thrash as a whole, thus resulting in albums similar to the Black album and the 2 loads. One more thing, Load, Reload, St. Anger, Death Magnetic and Hardwired all have great and unique songs but people refuse to listen to them because they think the albums are all shit, which is just not true. Have a listen, you might find something that you'd like.

There's some great songs on it and the whole album is decent. Certainly miles above hardwired LoL. I doubt you've actually listened to it because there's no way you could say he hasn't came close. That's hogwash, I think you've been reading to many you tube comments and forgetting that they don't mean squat. Dystopia kicks ass. You're living in the 90's still. You probably even think Bill Clinton was a good President.

2nd biggest metal band? Um no... Metallica number 1 ... Get over it Dave we all have that friend who we hate cuz they don't drink like the rest of us... 2nd chance? Heroin or a replacement drug of some type channel that high into art
@@bigbobbitchinii123 you have a point about Dave being hard to work with. Dave and James were probably doomed as band mates from the beginning because they both need to lead creatively. Not to mention as you kind of said, Dave is a jerk.
@@justinblink180nutz7 I word things bad. I meant that Megadeth is number 2. My point was, if James or Lars had been the one kicked out of Metallica on that day instead of Dave, would either one of them have been as successful as Dave? Obviously we'll never know but we do know what Dave did.
I had the opportunity to speak with Dave Mustaine for about 5 minutes on Bill Street and he seems like a very humble dude approachable down to earth badass
So glad Dave landed on his feet, it was ruthless how he was treated, imagine just about to go into a studio and record an album, this is your big chance in life, he had nothing...apparently he sold everything to live his dream...and then your dumped just before you go into the studio and to top it off they use your songs to get them on..not only that kirk pretty much just copied Dave's solos for kill em all..and they send him on a 4 day trip back home on a shitty bus...so long Dave....thanks a lot Dave....they didn't careless if he topped himself, and to rub salt in the wound they use his songs on the 2nd album too!!!!...and people wonder why Dave was so bitter for so long??? as much as i love Metallica that was a shitty thing to do...if that was me i would of fucking shot em...so glad he made it.
Kirk didn't have much of a choice. Dave shouldn't have been so crazy and annoying. He's whiny.
***** i bet if the same thing was done to you, you would cry too, so stfu.
Pedro Lopes Fuck you, it wouldn't happen because I'm not a fucking psycho when I drink alcohol. And I don't do the crazy ass drugs that he was constantly doing. He had to be kicked out, and he was a bitch after it happened. So stfu.
***** yes your a saint im sure. They all drunk and they all did drugs, at least Dave was a man.
***** this is fucking metal mike hawk when your albums called kill em all and that's just what dave was trying to do he was living the lifestyle man im glad they kicked him out though because megadeth destroys metallica
I'm just thankful that the end result was not one, but two legendary metal bands.
My uncle got high with Dave once and was the reason they were late getting on stage one night lol
Ahhh.... so it was Brian Slagel who directed Lars' attention to Cliff and not some stoke of destiny as Lars would like for all of us to believe. If I'm not mistaken, Slagel did the same in bringing Jason to the band's attention immediately following Cliff's passing.
Brian Slagel doesn't get nearly enough credit for the success of Metallica as he should.
VredesStall oh..cause their were no good bass players but cliff n pic boy jason ? At either time ? Your high. The riffs drums n lyrics sold the band. Each n every album.
hardradio.com...Slagel was the internets FIRST metal radio station -- still kickin azz....
Just another metal merchant!!
RIP Cliff, you is GOD !
RIP Cliff and Paul Baloff: to metal-stars that will shine forever...
**********Are************
You is English god 😂😂
Hell yeah! 👊💀👊
@@noone-qo8wu just be glad people try to write in YOUR native language as you probably do not understand theirs.
Ron made a very bad decision to leave.
But. Cliff
He quit because of Mustains wild drinking and I don't blame him, I hate to be around loud obnoxious drunks too that constantly start fights and cause trouble ,and I know they were all drinkers but even James and Lars got tired of it which is why they finally kicked him out of the band.
marc dewey yeah, I like Dave and all, but he was way out of hand with drinking and drug abuse until he hit rock bottom around so far so good so what.
Justin Adams yeah but at the time metallica was just another trash band...! you look at it now and of course it looks like a mistake...!
There seems to be no clarity about him leaving. I've heard different things.
RIP Paul Baloff
To hear Cliff's voice again, man. It's like god is giving you direction from a higher plain. Such a beautiful soul. ❤🤘
I've seen this VH1 piece at least 20 times over the years, can trade lines back and forth just as they're about to be said, and it still doesn't get old. \m/
Imagine the lineup of James Lars Cliff and Dave. That band would have been untouchable
No Lars
Without Lars
@@doomguy3559 why he was the only drummer in the band and was the founding member and without him than no Metallica so give us reasons huh give us reasons
@@Miist3rDuce1 because he is a bad drummer and he is a sellout and also cannot play his OWN songs correctly James even said that he is not a good drumer.
@@doomguy3559 your a sellout and a coward
Lars' smugness is so hard to take.
Lucretia I know. Love your name. Great Megadeth song. Lars being a mediocre drummer at best being smug is hilarious. "Listen to Lars wailing on the drums" said nobody ever.
Yeah lars is a dick. He really really owns being a dick though like nobody else
You know it. Especially since he's been knighted by his Denmark queen.
Then they treated Jason Newsted so bad he had to leave the band. If I were Robert I wouldn't be so confident around Metallica.
@@Pauly421 Karma's a bitch
1:34 RIP baloff, you are and will be missed
I think Dave deserved another chance
He did get a second chance
When?
Well there was the time he poured the beer on Ron's bass, then there was the time Dave's dog jumped on Ron's car and James kicked it and Dave beat his ass. I'm not sure which happened first.
Yes, that was why he was kicked from Metallica, but he didn't had a second chance.
Gabriel Santana who gives a shit??megadeth's better than metallica anyway
Dave got booted out of the band and become as big as Metallica on his own.how awesome is that.
They're... really not anywhere near is big as Metallica but ok lol
@@TThatsWhatSheSaid1 he has many albums,plenty of money and fame without them .also rated one of the best metal bands in history .
Connor Jones megadeth is way better much more consistent heavier and thrashier then Metallica ever has and ever will be. Listen to dystopia.
New megadeth 2021. Be ready.
@@TThatsWhatSheSaid1 MEGADETH is SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!
Well in terms of success sorry to tell you that Megadeth is nowhere near Metallica I'm just sorry that's the fact
Yes! Love anything old Metallica. Especially stuff with The Great One. Dave Mustaine!
I'd put Megadeth's catalog up against Metallica's anytime. The lyrics are way more in depth and the riffs are way more intricate.
I like how how Lars acts all tough when describing how they kicked Dave out the band.
Dave left peacefully ,,, fortunately for Lars
@@GatesRapes Would've been hilarious if Dave had decked Lars square in the nose as they were parting ways at the bus terminal.
@@MickMcGarnackle Dave was probably hoping they’d change their minds if he left peacefully
@@GatesRapes You losers act like people should be afraid of that crackhead.
i seen metallica 4 times .. every song is my favorite.. im 60 years old. and i still rock.. and when i go to algodones to the green door i play metallica.. keep rocking you older music..
all time favourite metallica song?
All I have to say is Long Live Megadeth!!🤘🤘. Can't even imagine what it would have been like? Dave getting kicked out was the best thing that could happen!
awwww cliff's father. bless that man
This was likely the best live performance of Kill em All, post Dave Mustaine! Dave brought many of these fave songs to Metallica. They grooved perfectly for the fast & furious metal shredding for the 80's! Their competition was glamour metal with occasional riffs but not so much head-bangin but as much chick-based!
Metallica drew the harder rockers away to their own brand of metal which lyrics were as true as the music it was intertwined with.
I can't believe it's been almost 40 yrs since I first heard Metallica, then Anthrax & Megadeath! But those times are difficult to beat! I'm grateful I was a 7th grader when they evolved! They came not long after after AC/DC!
I was happy when Dave was no longer w/Metallica! I knew he was an awesome musician, but he did party a bit in excess. When they parted, it likely saved his life! He was able to command his own destiny with Megadeath! Imagine there never being such a band as Megadeath? He was destined to create his own niche in Metal History! I can give a shit about who said what? I was displeased when Jason was gone too! But he needed some space to grow for himself too! They are all Metal Gods!
Kicking out Dave was a wrong move by Metallica but there born a Legendary Band.. #Megadeth .. I like Megadeth's music better... No hate .. just prefer Megadeth
I became more of a Mustaine fan as time passed. He's a genius. The drummer seems like he was trying to overcompensate for something.
Overcompensating for lack of talent
Dave is the riff god. Megadeth is infinitely better.
@@shaunchristman5504 Even though Lars writes and helps write most Met songs.
@@Dylanjames3679 I agree that Dave is great but please, shut the fuck up about comparing bands.
@@shaunchristman5504 stfu, like you can play drums better
Hello Dave still I love you in Megadeth n you are my most current n will ever watched thanks for your contribution 🥰🥰👍👍
Thank you for MEGADETH!!😠🤘
If there wasn't Megadeth and Metallica we wouldn't have the thrash metal wars between bands
Video about Metallica and most comments are about Dave Mustaine. Love it
R.I.P Metallica

It's been thirty years since they died
“It’s just us, doing what we do & we wanna keep it that way…”

So many badass Megadeth songs, I'm glad they parted!
Rest In Peace Ray Burton. who sadly passed away a few days ago :(
Jack Brunault awwwwww
Think there was something about a dog missing from this version of Dave departure story...
Someone kicked Dave's dog...
@@高海利 James did
dog scratched the car, i think Lars' car/
R S It scratched Ron’s car
Cliff you are still missed , and we know heaven is Rocking.
*"What No Warning, No Second Chance?"*
I always pass by that abandoned building on Archer Ave on my daily commute, but I had no idea anything significant was ever there. Crazy to think about.
Awesome!!!🤘🤘🤘seen them live three times. And Justice For All🤘🤘🤘Where ever I may roam 91, Muskegon Michigan🤘🤘🤘they came again!!! No where else to roam, 4 years later
it is very interesting to imagine what metallica would be if dave mustaine had never got kicked out..
But on the other hand, there is no words for what Dave Mustaine made for Megadeth \m/
I think this is the first and only story about a band moving to be closer to the bassist. lol
Cliff and Paul. We miss you both.
RIP
But I guess we wouldn't have Megadeth if Metallica hadn't kicked out Dave. So I guess it was a blessing
5:43 ironic how that guy he was talking about is now more respected than his ass or his entire band!!! lol.
The only people who don’t respect Metallica anymore are the dumbass metal elitists
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Stopsign He said more respected, not that they aren’t respected
I was in a band w/ similar circumstances, daves' departure was inevitable, you can try and try every single day to tolerate each other, but eventually, there's that breaking point. Thank God 4 that. Or we wouldn't have Megadeth, which is the greatest thing since sliced bread, even better, Dave you and Megadeth are a Godsend, you are the best and you'd be surprised at how many of us know that.
U
I was in high school when Kill Em All came out. I'll never forget it. I've followed them ever since and I'll dare to say I enjoy everything they do even to this day. I own all their albums plus some. You have to understand that artists evolve over time and they cannot stay the same indefinitely. So did they sell out with he Black album? I don't think so. It was part of their artistic evolution into adults and men. Death Magnetic was very crunchy and I thought it was excellent. But I admit it would be cool for them to do a retrospective album maybe revisiting some old school ideas. I think the only band I know of that has remained the same with their particular formula is AC/DC. Every album they make is so AC/DC and they have a formula they stick to. I think it works for them but their most recent albums are not so popular even though they are still very good. My 2 cents anyway.... LOL ;) Come get some Catspit~!
CatspitProductions men!!! its a pleasure to read this coment, i think the same Way like you, i enjoy 80s and im still enjoying It, Salutes...
Very cool. Cheers :)
I think St. Anger is one of the their best albums.
Jeremy Robertson If Metallica sold out on ...And Justice for All then Megadeth sold out on Countdown to Extinction and Slayer on Reign In Blood.
Jeremy Robertson Are you serious right now? Nuclear Blast, the label that distributes half the metal in Europe, including In Flames and fucking NIGHTWISH, is a “tiny little indy label?” You lost absolutely all credibility with that lame-ass statement. And by the way, I don’t know where you live, but Symphony of Destruction off yes, “Countdown to Extinction” was FUCKING HUGE. All over MTV (which meant something in those halcyon days of 1992), and all over the radio, even here in Memphis, TN, which has the worst radio market for a city of over a million people in the nation. If it’s on the radio here, you better believe it’s fucking mainstream. Sorry, dude, you’re just wrong. Hate Metallica if you want, that’s your right, but making up shit to make the bands you like somehow look more “real” or whatever just makes you look like an asshole. And an incorrect one, at that. An embarrassment to humanity? Maybe not, that’s a bit much, but wrong? Most definitely.
Mustaine was on another level.
Mustaine taught Hetfield almost every single riff and chord yet Hetfield still remains as an "average" rhythm guitar player.
Compare the rhythm sections in Metallica and Megadeth, it's a no brainer. Not to mention the Spider Chord.
Hammet and Metallica got famous at the expense of Mustaine, they could of asked him to stop drinking, a second chance would of been nice but in the end Metallica made the RIGHT decision.
Because now we have Megadeth.
shut up and go away with your stupid comment.
uhhh James knew guitar before he met mustaine
You've actually never played guitar and it shows, calling james average is fucking stupid and so are you
Yeah but megadeth has a shitty vocalist.
Best band ever!!!! Seen them at the monsters of rock tour....liberty bowl stadium...memphis Tennessee in the 80s
"If you came here to see spandex and long hair, this ain't your band"
*Wears spandex and has woman hair"
It was only lars
No James wore spandex too up until after ride the lightning lol
"Let's keep it that way..." RIP Cliff Burton, but indeed they did not.
I recorded this episode of behind the music on VHS back in like 1997. I watched the shit out of this, and love it! Watching this brings great memories!
Haha, me too!
Dave would have left sooner or later. Dave is a music genius and his ideas would have clashed with james and Lars. Plus he survived where I'm sure james and Lars wanted to see him in ruins.
I don’t see Dave being ok with the black album and even if he was st anger woulda been his last straw
0:42 They look so happy together :(
These 90's/00's Metallica specials are my lifeblood
“Mmm how rock n roll” - Kirk Hammett, the metal king of cheese
I think it's amazing how this music needed to be invented. It just seems like something that should exist, not like some discovery. Nowadays, there isn't too many bands that come up with something new (and good) it's all just influenced by previous bands. There doesn't seem to be another genre that could be invented, we've ran out of ideas.
Best music ever written nothing's as cool as early Metallica Megadeth and Slayer and Anthrax thrash metal always be my favorite
lol dave is a legend he has been in the 2 greatest bands ever made 'Megadeth, Metallica'
so......there was a bassist BEFORE cliff Burton?
Ron McGoveny
And a guitar player before Dave. A black dude named Lloyd Grant.
SM Music Plus Lloyd was never a member for some reason
No.
Yup. He quit because Dave's dumbass poured a beer all over his bass while it was plugged in and being played, which completely ruined it.
I Pray for Dave, he's someone I worry about alot
I never understood Lars in these old interviews in regard to Mustaine. He comes off as so fucking cold and smug knowing that he had always kept in contact with Dave even after Dave's firing. Know YEARS have passed and they are friends now, but just the fact that Lars comes off that way at a time when the interview was conducted and they did in fact keep in touch during that time - just never understood it.
Brooklyn3955 I hear ya.
I think Mustaines music spoke to me more. His Music defined my life as a whole. Metallica was cool, but I loved Megadeth in my heart.
I can always come back to this
"...to join eccentric bass genius, Cliff Burton"
I WAS THERE 4 A LOTTA THIS...... I LIVED RIGHT DOWN THA' STREET IN EL-CERRITO
R.I.P. Mr Burton…. Greatest band and music of my lifetime!
"The band became an underground sensation."
If Cliff had never died, Metallica would be as awesome as ever. There would be no Load, Black Album or, oh god, St Anger...They'd still be genuine underground thrashers. Sure, they wouldn't have money to wipe their ass with, or their big houses and such, but they'd be a pure 100 % thrash metal band to the fucking core.
Probably not.
Cliff liked all different kinds of music. Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, classical. Even James has said that cliff didn’t make them fast.
Fuck even mop is not “pure thrash.”
@@ryanpb16 he commented this 12 years ago, maybe his attitude has changed after the hardwired album lmao
Maybe. ...
Cliff was the only guy looking like a hippie in the band. And if he didn't pass away, he'd contribute a lot to Metallica during the more popular period (maybe there'd never be a Load, which would be nice). I think Cliff would prevent Metallica from the terrible albums following the Black Album (the Black Album, although nice, marks the beginning of the downfall of the band.
Terbie36 agreed.
There best albums were the first three. Metallica without cliff isn’t Metallica.
I sorta doubt that since they were going for a more progressive sound after Master, we might've gotten an album similar to Justice with 2 to 3 songs dropped. Then they'd likely complain about the songs being too long, get tired and outgrow thrash as a whole, thus resulting in albums similar to the Black album and the 2 loads.
One more thing, Load, Reload, St. Anger, Death Magnetic and Hardwired all have great and unique songs but people refuse to listen to them because they think the albums are all shit, which is just not true. Have a listen, you might find something that you'd like.
Cliffs dad still has a lot of love that will never die
The irony of cliffs last sentence is sad!
