Megadeth 1987 Interview (84 of 100+ Interview Series)

Interview with Dave Mustaine and Dave Ellefson on the Monsters of Rock on Sky Channel. Please note: 'wake up dead' is the first single from 'so far, so good, so what', aha ;-)

Junior's speedball has his leg jumping. His laugh is almost as funny as Ace Frehley's. Junior's laugh is so underrated.

Jeff... "he was giving a friend of ours guitar lessons"... lol, that was the condensed version.

[@rollforeverderbs]

Am i the only one here that actually really likes So Far So Good So What, and the lineup of Dave, Junior, Jeff, and Chuck?

[@rollforeverderbs]

+MaestroDraven I've never heard Dave say anything bad about them, other than that he thought Jeff was trying to get with his fiancé and that Chuck Behler was a crackhead that didn't show up to gigs. But while they were in the band, he ever was so far as to say that they should have been in the band since the very beginning, since before Killing Is My Business and Peace Sells.

[@rollforeverderbs]

he even went so far as to say***

[@tammysigmon853]

I've always liked SFSGSW and the lineup, but Megadeth for me is always Dave, Dave, Chris, and Gar.

[@bradheadcrusher732]

"They wanted to do other things all the time". Like pawn your gear for dope? :D

[@levinmoser4001]

Brad headcrusher I was hoping they'd say that. Ellefson talked about Mike Albert had to tour for killing is my business for a while because Chris left, but came back. The reason that happened is because Chris was in jail charged with heroin possession.

[@NS1.]

@rj zander - He's a few years older than Mustaine, but I personally think Dave Mustaine has aged much worse than Chris. Chris will be 62 tomorrow, (December 1st, my dad's birthday, lol). Dave is 58, but almost looks 10+ years older. He was diagnosed in June with throat cancer, but I believe he has completed treatment and is doing good, so the 2020 MD album most likely wont be put on hold.

I'd rather wear normal jeans, those damn things are so hard to walk in.

[@mjg239]

Question for any Megadeth fans... what brand of jeans are they wearing? Are they women's jeans? I see they're skinny fit and it wasn't typical to find mens jeans in a skinny fit back in the 80s so I'm curious for the name of the brand? Also is there any interview back then where they talk about their jeans? Please share any links, i'm very curious to know.

YO JAJAJAJA

[@irmasil3]

"So far, so good..." is a brilliant record (apart from Jeff's ridiculous solos). Dave's solos are cutting, songs are brilliant as well....Only a few tracks on Megadeth's long career can compare to "Mary Jane" in my opinion.....

[@DevrimOdabas]

i like jeff's solos on "so far". especially the in my darkest hour solo

[@csharpminr]

Absolutely. Mary Jane as well.

[@LuchoCastle_11]

Yeah, by far the most underrated record in Megadeth's early career. I am not sure but I kind of heard that Young's solos were written by Mustaine. Still he could have done better, he was not precisely the best guitar player in Megadeth history. But yeah, the record has some great masterpieces on it.

[@henrywalton5967]

Jeff's world afire solo is sick

[@Drewitall54]

There wasn't anything wrong with Young's solos. He only had like 3

awh

[@sebasmusician24]

look the face of dave when he say that..

[@rubenick]

What the hell are you talking about!? That's one of the best albums! The first 4 albums are by far the 4 best Megadeth albums... don't shit talk a great album just cause you dislike the line-up -.-

[@zackroberts456]

Makes sense that they were also playing the material live before Gar or Chris got in the band. I'm not saying they didn't have any influence of the sound that was the final product, but most of the material was done and written for every part. So in the end Gar and Chris didn't have a huge amount in the original sound of Megadeth. Honestly it was a Mustaine filled with Pure Hatred and Drugged up.

[@DARRINCONNOR1]

Jr is funny with his Fargo laugh.Fukin hilarious "Keeeyahh"

[@BoundInChains]

In front of the ferns... the prequel to between the ferns.😆

[@greeneterror7989]

they shared the same brain then which side did DAVE get when they split?

[@royalorphanmetal]

Soooo....Dave didn't pose an opinion on how they'd go over opening for Dio? Any ideas why?

[@Libef14]

I like Friedman/Ellefson/Mustaine/Menza but that's just my personal favorite of the band. Gar was good but I didn't like Chris that much haha.

[@yungmophead]

0:11 lol great minds think alike. Awkward...

[@zackroberts456]

Yeah, that makes sense considering most of the material was written pre Chris and Gar. Most of the first and second albums were done while they still had Kerry King playing for them. Lol.

[@mjg239]

Question for any Megadeth fans... what brand of jeans are they wearing? Are they women's jeans? I see they are skinny fit and it wasn't typical to find mens jeans in a skinny fit back in the 80s so I'm curious for the name of the brand?

[@JacketsOnFire]

Gar and Chris : “no warning? No second chance?”

[@steadybrainz]

couldn't have said it better

[@717mienbao]

Great to see and hear these time capsules of Megadeth's history. Mustaine sounds a little slurry here, which looking back would be about right.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

David Scott Mustaine (La Mesa, California; 13 de septiembre de 1961), más conocido como Dave Mustaine, es un músico estadounidense, conocido por ser el fundador, guitarrista, vocalista y principal compositor de la banda de thrash metal Megadeth, así como por ser anteriormente guitarrista de la banda Metallica.

[@zzzhuh]

@DARRINCONNOR1 I agree. People seem to under estimate the original lineup over the R.I.P line up which is good but the original is untouchable.

[@codebabe]

They're essentially just skinny jeans dude. That's what I wear with my sneakers. The ones they wore back then were high wasted, which I think is better, but high wasted pants are hard to find anymore.

[@PintilieCristian]

um but "Wake up dead" single was from Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying

[@DARRINCONNOR1]

@zzzhuh No, that was kinda my point.Because at 4:20 Jr. states the new album title "S.F.S.G.S.W. Whatever doesn't matter.I will easilky put "Killing is my buisness" up there with 5 favorite thrash albums of all time.And "Bad Omen" off 'Peace Sells" top 5 greatest thrash songs of all time.

[@_jony711]

Back when junior smelled lines

[@AazzaA1275]

"wake up dead" was NOT the first single from 'so far, so good, so what!', the song wasnt even ON that album...its from 'peace sells'!...and it was the SECOND single from 'peace sells'...damn i hate it when ppl dont have their facts right!

[@zackroberts456]

Agreed. He didn't have ALL of the songs written out before Megadeth was started but he did have the majority of the first 3 albums finished before Gar and Chris even met Dave. So I don't understand why people are liking that dudes comment seeing how Gar and Chris merely just added to the sound, honestly if they had different musicians it would sound pretty similar (obviously not as good but still)

[@MegaMojo187]

is that weed in the back round?

[@Sunsetsonthehorizon]

@Tobinator127 Yes he is! I love his laugh, too cute XP

[@sunburnfudge]

What the hell? Wake up dead is not a single from So Far So Good So What. Its from Peace Sells

[@christinehalmos8804]

I agree that Dave ellefson is hot and handsome.

[@Worran]

Every Megadeth drummer was and is solid, only Chuck wasn't as good as Nick, Jimmy, Gar and Shawn.

[@Luclovesplayguitar]

This

[@SWbro94]

Ellefson kinda reminds me of Randall from Clerks, looks and voice.

[@RishiHebbar]

while i agree that christ and gar were amazing members in megadeth, you're completely wrong about the fact that they both 'made' megadeth. on the only two albums gar and chris ever played on, dave mustaine is credited with writing all the lyrics and music. while they were technically amazing, its impossible to tell just how good these two guys were by only listening to their stuff with megadeth. megadeth is, and always will be, dave mustaine. its always been a solo act (with some exceptions)

[@Tettuli]

@DawnPatroler warbringer actually opened for megadeth for few shows

[@ariusfrogge3394]

dude what kind of style of pants is that i keep trying to find it i need it its awesome

[@corazonvenenoso-]

Skinny pants?

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

[@codebabe]

Menza and Friedman are easily as good, but I really love early Megadeth. Listened to Peace Sells on vinyl yesterday.

[@BobRobie1]

MEGADETHAAH haha yeahh!

[@Wrathmont313]

"Wake Up Dad" LMAO.

[@zzzhuh]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Well since this was from 87 peace sells would be considered the new record. However I was confused there for a while but wake up dead was originally released as a single but who knows maybe the host fucked up and though that wake up dead was from sfsgsw

[@TheExtinctSpecies]

You mean when he overdosed on valium? That was february 1993.

[@SENATORPAIN1]

probably why he says wake up dad lol
