"I thought hearing Mustaine speak for three hours would either be really interesting or really depressing, because sometimes when you hear someone talk for a long period of time, they're actually kinda boring or they're not really what you thought they were" Me watching Mike talk about sniffing Enya's feet while wearing a mask for an hour during his stream: 🤣😳😅😱 (I love those Art Of Guitar streams though)

[@mylogify]

Hahahahaha :D :D. That was funny xD

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Tickling her feet. Tickling! 🤣

[@patstuker]

@@TheArtofGuitar Yeah okay Mike, we believe you 😅

[@shelovesthenight8425]

Is this true? What stream is it on? If it is true AMAZING!

[@patstuker]

@@shelovesthenight8425 It was an Art-Of-Guitar livestream from August 17, 2022 (Mike actually posted it to his KZbin Community page), but sadly the stream is deleted now :/

[@ValSchnitzel]

You can hear Dave playing the The Leper Messiah part on the rehearsal tape from Ron Mcgovny's garage, Ron said that back then they called it "The Hills Run Red".

[@lasombra_br]

The first Mustaine biography is eye-opening and explains a lot of his persona. I highly recommend it.

[@Isabella_31]

Agreed. It’s a very interesting read.

[@springbloom5940]

I already know how incomprehensibly important he is

[@Buglips_D_Goblin]

Dave trying to get his scorpion back and them looking for Gar on the wrong side of town - "he looks kind of like a locust". The book is full of gems.

[@MercyNoMore]

Great book

[@johnmchugh8049]

I really enjoyed the book

[@jean-luclezede3898]

Hey, I'm a french fan of "the art of guitare". I' m very happy you're talking about Mustaine : he survived from drugs, Metallica eviction and became MEGADETH leader with integrity. great guitarist, nice guy and a legend !!!! It's a good lyricist, too !

[@mrburns366]

Speaking of technology. For a short while, Dave played a Line 6 amp! I think it was a prototype they made for him.

[@xamislimelight8965]

And had a signature ESP guitar. Won't lie, it was kinda ugly. Almost looked like their old AX series.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

@@xamislimelight8965 Axion. He also had the DV8-R. I own one of the 200 SE Flameburst versions and that.

[@tommilitello198]

@@NinjaRunningWild guitar center has a DV8 R with a flame top right now 1799 is what there asking

[@NinjaRunningWild]

@@tommilitello198 Not a flame top, flame _burst._ It was an exclusive paint scheme to the SE; red fading into bright yellow tips. It's dramatically rarer. Anyways, this was 2 months ago. Did you buy it?

[@RByrne]

Thats pretty cool. Didnt know about all that stuff hed done. And I met Benny Urquidez when i was a kid. He came to our Karate class and did a little demonstration and taught some stuff, signed some books he then sold everyone. Nice guy.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Great video. I saw a 20-minute clip of the interview and loved it. Dave is an intelligent and eloquent speaker, and very interesting to listen too.... cheers.

[@martyhafermann938]

Your videos are always interesting..and I like your teaching style. Thanks!

[@dbmdrums1105]

I am hearing of it as I write this message 😎😎. I wish he spoke more about Dave Elfeson.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Yeah I think he was trying to avoid it a bit. Mentioned him once.

[@dbmdrums1105]

@@TheArtofGuitar Exactly . I kind of wished he atleast told his side of the story. I don't wish to hear or watch a video from Rock Feed , Loudwire ore any of those "news outlets" ...I mean this could be Junior Dave's to senior Dave "Come on man , No second chance "!

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

@@dbmdrums1105 Technically, this would be considered his second chance, really.

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

He avoided it to be more professional, it's still fresh in his mind and the whole thing embarrassed the brand Megadeth.

[@BradyA1124]

Man, your channel is truly great .. straight up. I love this channel

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

I believe I remember the story about the guy with the broken leg. If I remember correctly, the day after he did the hex, the guy broke his leg in a car accident. Funny thing is, I believe he physically broke another guy's leg too. I think it was a guy from Armoured Saint. The guy pushed Lars down to the ground (this was back when Dave was in Metallica) and Dave broke his leg. He told the guy not to push his friend around. I mean, he also beat up the guys in his own band from time to time back then too, so... 🤣 I'm glad he eventually straightened up. I really believe he's a good guy who deserves a lot of credit for being where he is after all the struggles he's been through. I wish that he and James could have been able to come together at some point and work on a side project. I think that would have been epic, but I think that train left the station long ago.

[@Stovokor41]

Yeah, I also remember a story when Dave beat up James because James kicked his dog lol.

[@microsoftpain]

Great episode of JRE. I love that Joe just lets his guest speak uninterrupted for a long period of time so they can just get everything out.

[@HannahCope88]

Haven't had time to listen to the podcast yet but looking forward to it.

[@thedr.zeroultrazone984]

Some of Dave's finest quotes: Rob Halford always looks like Ace Hardware blew up next to him. We don't have long to play opening for Aerosmith because they don't have long to live. (not sure if he meant because of their age or he was mad at them) We didn't even tell Chuck Behler he was fired - we just hired Nick and stopped calling him. I was really into Rush until Alex Lifeson went to the moon. ( I think I remember that - Alex's trip to the moon I mean) Chris Poland was always giving our driver guff on the Killing is my Business tour so one day when he kept egging him on and the driver kept pounding the steering wheel with his fist, he finally pulled the bus over, got up, and bounced Chris upside down head first down the stairs of the bus and out onto the street. When he met his wife Pam at a club, he initially told his assistant to go over and tell her he'd like to meet her. So the assistant did and then returned to Dave without her because she said if he wanted to meet her, he could approach her himself. (I actually foresaw the end of that story before I even read it. I can't believe he did that.)

[@Hoscitt]

It was great wasn't it? Joe's amazingly good at getting ppl to be themselves, this and the Hetfield episode are the only time I've felt like I've seen them as regular ppl rather than in frontman mode. That's in 30 years reading every little interview they did! Really enjoyed it 👌

[@ThemMightyPies]

Bollocks Dave was as guarded and scripted as he’s ever been.

[@Yonny316]

@@ThemMightyPies Dave is an old man. Calm down.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

@Huh? nah, he was very open but mindful of saying something stupid, as it wasn't scripted.

[@teresathomley3703]

I don't watch Joe Rogan much but the Dave episode was tremendous. Thanks Mike.

[@QuakeSphere]

Blew my mind when he brought up dave on a recent podcast and commented about his martial arts history. Was not expecting him to actually be on the podcast :) I loved megadeth and metallica so much when I was a kid. This was like catching up with an old friend that's been gone for decades.

[@AmiliaCaraMia]

Never heard Dave talk much but he was interesting and kept the conversation going well. Good stuff.

[@anthonyw5261]

Great job giving a condensed version of the interview 👏 👏👏🤘

[@jsr-uz3oj]

I'm glad you said older than old I was born in 63 and was fortunate enough to have been around in the early days and watch both bands grow and have seen both Megadeath and Metallica live many times and I still remember the sad day when Randy Rhoads was killed another what if he would have not gotten on that plane and how he would have influenced metal. I'm 59 and I built myself and my grandson a gaming PC and know electronics very well I had to learn how to root my first smart phone to expand the storage try 2 GB of storage not easy I was able to double it .

[@oranriojas1571]

Awesome man!! Love the king V by the way

[@wiseman171]

This is the best way to watch Rogen honestly, just listening to someone else's recap.

[@phadrus]

Most of this is stuff he’s talked about before but a few things about the celebs he met that seem new. Will try to catch the podcast. Thanks for sharing.

[@markandersen793]

Yeah, it’s worth checking out, some interesting topics,.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

There's really not much new if you've listened to or read previous interviews.

[@righty-o3585]

Casey Kasem was the original voice of Shaggy in the old school Scooby Doo cartoons 🤘😁

[@FlyingGemSparkly]

Dave’s vocals have massively improved since his throat cancer which is astounding to me! I heard he took voice lessons to deal with the surgery trauma, which makes sense. The few tracks I’ve heard on their new album is 🔥 In the past he tells the sad story about an incident during his horrific addiction phase when he took a massive dose of either opioids or downers and slept on his left arm for almost an entire day and destroyed the nerves in his arm. He had to get major surgery and relearn how to play guitar. I am about halfway through the Rogan interview and am overjoyed at how his life has turned around and how he is in such a great place physically, mentally, spiritually etc. after such an abusive childhood with a crazed & sadistic alcoholic father and years of ensuing substance abuse! I read his harrowing story in his autobiography a few years back and it is SO compelling, I think I read the entire thing in one day! God BLESS Dave Mustaine, the Man, the Myth, the Legend!!!

[@jmaynez2332]

Improved? Lol.

[@Billy_bSLAYER]

I was in Megadeth Arizona and the first edition of the Cyberarmy 🤘🤘🤘

[@PhantomDeth]

You can see Dave skydiving in the music videos for Holy Wars and High Speed Dirt.. MTV also went out with them when they did some of the skydiving as well.

[@TotoDG]

Fun fact: Casey Kasem is the original voice actor for Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. (If Dave Mustaine does a Shaggy impression, no matter how bad it sounds, my respect for him will skyrocket.)

[@evanhooper1]

I got to see Mustaine during the Hendrix Experience, it was super cool.

I still think Megadeth : Behind the Music is the most definitive documentary on Dave Mustaine & Megadeth (& Metallica).

I was one of the online inhabitants of Megadeth, Arizona.

[@RollTideRising]

I heard Dave went to GIT for a little while . In the 80 s

[@ledhendrix5054]

I always keep this in mind when I'm listening to an interview with anyone , " There is always Two sides to a story " . I have personal experience in this especially when you have a bad break up with a partner , they tell their friends BS about you , and those friends that don't even know you give you shitty looks . Alot of people don't stop to think that there is Two sides when people break up.

[@mattthompson7131]

Well said Mike 🤟

[@toddhoward4160]

[@noahs7700]

Great video mike. Would love to see you review more podcast and interviews. Maybe Joe rogan’s podcast with Billy Corgan and James Hetfield.

[@frayedinsanity]

I don't know if the leg break is from this same story, but I read in a metallica book that one of the guys from Armored Saint was picking on Lars, so back stage, Dave broke his leg.

[@Locknar77]

DM is usually an interesting listen, and more thoughtful than many of his peers. However, he's another one of these guys who was a serious addict, but yet has a perfect memory of so many events and conversations, that, coincidentally, only he remembers that way, so much of what he has to say needs to be taken with several grains of salt.

[@douglasjarnagan3835]

I've noticed this with a lot of interviews I've seen with old rockers and even old wrestlers. Part of it was the drugs, but I think some of it is misremembering things after so many years. Of course some may also be purposly bending the truth.

[@cycomiles4225]

Regarding what ? All he says is pretty much true, I've heard the interviews from the 80s to today, he has not changed a single word from his answers to the same questions he has been answering for the last 40 years. Its either lies he convinced himself back then and just kept on repeating or its true. I didnt see anyone from his former band mates try to convince anyone it wasnt exactly how he said it was either.

[@Mythki11er]

fair assessment lol

[@christian-van-e]

Haha, I just wondered why you were holding the guitar during the first six minutes, and Then you exactly said: You're probably why I am holding this guitar... haha Spot on timing!

[@XI_Daisy_XI]

✨😃Super synch!!! Same here but with the added layer of reading your comment just as Mike explained. Gotta love divine timing or cosmic "coincidences"😊✨

Met Dave long ago. Before James and Dave were famous (Downey early 1980's). If you were there, you would understand why it didn't work out. ;)

Many of those stories he told in joe Rogan, he had years ago talked about with Alex Jones.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Yeah but I'm not related to any of them. haha

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

I've read his biographies and listened to many interviews he's had over the years and him and I think very much alike. I'm not so sure if it's because him and I are both Virgos lol (I was never really into zodiac signs and that kind of stuff) It's not the ego or narcissistic tendencies, but the humble beginnings of being raised and forced to be a Jehovah's witness, getting out of that and the aspects of being a musician and the experience in all that is what I can relate to. I was raised in a Spanish catholic cult of sorts, not the kind where they do some weird immoral stuff in the name of god, but a very dogmatic group of Catholics. I didn't have an option to attend different catholic churches, it just so happened that the one I went to with my mother and brother every weekend and every week night at bible study was the messed up church lol All other churches in our town denounced them. When I discovered my love for music and the guitar, it was my escape. Much like Dave I started at a very young age, the problem is that I didn't stick with it for long. Public schools, Bible School and the church became obstacles I couldn't avoid until I came of adult age. Guitar and metal were things I had to keep secret unless I was with my father. Afterall, he was the one that got me into all of it. My mother originally wanted me to be a priest since I had been a very active member with the church and had helped with many of the religious services along with the priest over those years, and so she insisted that I attend a seminary to study philosophy, theology and of course religion. My father at this time didn't care what I did, he was always more open minded than my mother was. He wasn't religious, my hypocritical mother married him more for lustful reasons and his wealth that he had earned from family inheritance than anything else. I was so glad to leave that all behind.
