Dave Mustaine: "God created whammy bars for people who don't know how to solo"

[Axegrinder87]

If I can pick at the original post, yes Kirk Hammett does suck at solos, bad example. Might as well have thrown in Kurt Cobain.

Not really. Hes great, but not amazing.

They are so quick to call metallica sell outs, when in fact megadeth has sold out just as much. The only difference is metallica is far more popular and they actually succeded so they (as usually comes with fame) are the sell outs.


Megadeth have whored themselves out with different guitar companies, going on tv, signature strings, amps. Not to mention Risk (where they tried to go more radio friendly and failed).

double standard ftw.

Sell outs calling other sell outs is funny to me.

Nah, I think he was equating your state of musicianship and Daves state of musicianship. Youre in effect, being hypocritical by talking shit about others in the industry by bitching about other musicians in the industry talking shit about others in the industry. Say that 5 times fast!

I agree though, Dave can be a tool. We all know it and we love him anyways.

My favorite Dave being a tool moment was when he did that short stint with Line6. He went on and on about how his Marshalls sounded like shit in comparison. Not two years later he was back to using Marshalls AND had a sig Marshall cab. Wonder why he went back, I bet tone had NOTHING to do with it though, because his Marshalls sounded like shit compared to his Line6 preamp.

I can't fault a broke touring musician of 10+ years for wanting to make some money.

The only real difference is new Megadeth > new Metallica

Btw, don't refer to Dave as Megadeth.... there is no Megadeth, never has been, nor will there ever be. It's Dave.

In hindsight, did you start this thread to engage an inevitable Metallica Vs. Megadeth argument?

But douches make smelly vaginas tolerable.

Never expected you to be a South Park fan, with all the gay hate and such.

Ok, Define: Sell Out: 1. A term used by those that are jealous of a famous party for making a career and money doing something the finger pointing party wished they could do. 2. A term used by those without an individual sense of thought to try to fit in with the finger pointers in definition number1.

Being a famous musician, as fun as it is, IS A BUSINESS. Its not a charity and funds must be accrued to survive. Their job is no different from a guy who works at McDonalds but by one key aspect, the musicians is doing the thing he loves most for money.

Probably didn't till you mentioned it. How about his post, "Wait,you can't do double bends on a Floyd's?!" That opened a can of worms that has been debated to death already. Here we go again!

Sell out is an overused term by the metal community. If you get signed at all, you already sold out, because you are making money.

That completely contradicts your previous argument.

I'm out.

I love south park. Just because I despise bigots doesn't mean I can't laugh at jokes and have a stick up my ass (pun intended).

Im really losing my sense on where you stand man.

I think Dave M is an asshole.... but I do not think either Metallica or Megadeth suck at all. Even though they haven't put out anything I want to listen to in years... they still don't suck.

That like when people say the Yankees suck... just because you don't like them doesn't mean they suck. (And I hate baseball and really all sports--especially that repulsive Nascar crap).
