I think it has more to do with the fact that every interviewer since 1983 has brought up Metallica when talking to Mustaine. Feel free to listen to the Joe Rogan podcast with Mustaine that came out a few months ago. It was obvious that Dave didn't refuse to talk about them, but he clearly didn't want Metallica questions to dominate the interview. Rogan kept asking about it though. That's what makes headlines. Those guys talked for over 3 hours about martial arts, family, Dave's new album, Ice T, Nashville, etc. But the big highlights in all the JRE clips were the 2 things Dave didn't really want to talk about too much or at all, which were his occult experiments and his Metallica days.

James will never leave Lars, its actually rather sad. Its very telling who actually is in control of metallica. It would be cool to see james's stuff without Lars influence, but I don't think that work actually exists, not in a form that actually matters.

[@penoyer79]

i dont think james trusts anyone else to guide his music.

[@ubermikesocal]

From all accounts involved, it is James who actually controls Metallica. Lars often interjects because he is short and has a big mouth, but Papa James leads that show.

[@BatFan1]

Interesting perspective. To call it "sad" that two LONGTIME collaborators and bandmates since their late teens want to continue making music with each other. Just because Dave can't get along with anyone long term in Megadeth (aside from Ellefson, who's also gone) doesn't mean other bands have to be the same. James genuinely loves Lars like a brother. That's not sad, that's admirable.

[@DecimusStark]

@@BatFan1 You can call it what you want. But was Lars always good for metallica? No. Look at what he did to the bass on 'In Justice for all." Im saying Dave represents a part of metallica we never got too much of, and would be more valuable than James making another album with Lars. Also I want to add, James and Dave were making something together without Lars, but James still wanted Lars accredited. Why, as far as we know, this wasnt a megadeth and metallica collaboration but 2 individuals coming together to make music. James's overloyalty to Lars and that this collaboration will never see the light of day now, is what makes it sad. That James couldn't do something without Lars is Sad. This is an L for the metal community. I don't see how you can't.

@@Takaichi666- I'd have a little trouble getting over it too, if the band who kicked me out used my music on their first three major label releases. "You suck, you're out....but your music can stay"... I don't seem to remember one single Hetfield or Hammett song on a Megadeth disc.

Omg “ Mega” Dave and his ego. Lars probably did help write it and Dave was too intoxicated too remember. I have the same problem with someone I used to play with and it’s never been resolved because the guy is too intoxicated to listen to reason. Nowadays we have phones, record the process. It still makes me angry because I was not given credit that was due.

supposedly dave wrote jump in the fire and mechanix before he was in metallica, so it would be weird if lars got credit for it

Sure maybe but when multiple others disagree and say no he helped on this one and that one. I didn’t say all neither did the rest of Metallica. But Dave is saying no not at all wonder how much he really remembers. I’m a megadeth fan too by the way. He has been known to not be sober.
