Dave is such a cool guy. I met him and Dave Ellefson in '87 in Hawaii while I was working at a restaurant named "Round Table Pizza" in Waikiki. They walked in right as we were closing up. My manager said to let 'em in to have whatever they wanted to eat and drink. While they ate their pizza, my co-worker/friend and myself just hung out with them talking about their upcoming "Peace Sells"... show a few nights later and other stuff. Got autographs, laughs and great memories. Thanks Dave M. and Dave E. You made an 18yr old kid feel like a million bucks with a priceless story to tell years to come. Aloha from Hawaii.

I remember seeing Metallica in 2007 and James Hetfield just randomly walked out into a player tunnel at Wembley while machine head were playing, and just stood there like 3ft away from me, and grinned, let everyone around take notice then walked off. Very cool of Mustaine to do this

[@kd5inm]

Joe Walsh from the Eagles sat next to me in a ham radio forum in Dallas one year. We were listening to Bob Heil talk. Bob heil did sound for Grateful dead and Eagles and Clapton.

[@crooked-halo]

Hetfield was at a smallish punk rock show I went to a few years ago & nobody was treating him like a star or god.

@@JoeyBeanBag absolutely, You bring up a great point. Through all of the interactions with entertainers I've tried to remember they could have something going on.

[@michaelmaclane8877]

Somehow I doubt that, lol. Do you really think a couple of 8 year olds are massive fans of a band that peaked in the early 90's with their 4th album (long before they were even born). I'm guessing from that wicked mullet Mom's rocking that the parents are the big Megadeth fans (and they somehow missed the whole thing). And Dave's a fucking power tool. One random act of kindness does nothing to negate the countless bullshit he's put everyone who ever gave a fuck about him through. Go pray for forgiveness, Dave. Maybe Jeebus will jump down from his pulpous throne and give you a shoulder to cry on. After all, losers are his specialty, lol. And yes, if you look at what Dave was capable of, versus what he actually accomplished with the help of a never ending supply of drugs and ego, he's DEFINITELY a massive fucking failure.
