I love Dave, but the one problem with Dave is, he always considers himself the smartest person in the room. In most cases, that might be true. I think that Dave is one of those people who likes to hear himself...not that he won't listen to others, but look at Dave's facial expressions when someone says something that he feels is stupid or that he disagrees with. What's the old expression, "A picture is worth a thousand words". That can describe Dave in a nutshell; he always lets you know how he feels, whether it be spoken or from a look on his face.

Here is a classic Dave Mustaine interview.

The last few seconds of this interview is absolutely hilarious, regarding "Countdown To Extinction" and it being the #2 record in the U.S, and what the #1 record was at the time. The interview is slow to boot itself up.

Dave RULES!!!!!

I have to admit that I almost spit out my Diet Coke when I saw the title of this thread....

Dave is a legend in his own mind.

Dave was important to the metal scene of the 80's...but not as much as he wishes.

Dave's guitar playing skills are huge...but not as much as his ego.

Dave recorded a couple classic metal albums, a couple good metal albums...and alot of .

Dave seems like an interesting guy, but he needs to enroll himself in "shut up and play yer guitar 101"...there's still a vacant seat beside Ted Nugent.

Let's not ruin his fantasy, he seems pretty content.

Dave Mustaine is a legend, to be associated with the 2 biggest metal bands in the world, a kick ass lyricist and guitarist,hell yeah he's a legend.

Lemmy is a legend...Dave is a talented lyricist and guitarist.

No Lemmy is an Icon


which is one step higher than legend :metal:

Dave is a Metal legend period! His discography speaks for itself.
UA is great. Having that sort of staying power thoughout 3 decades says a lot. In context of the interview he was stating the obvious compared to these other bands that hardly anyone has heard of especially outside of the metal scene.

Megadeth is a legendary band, so while Dave Mustaine has an ego almost as big as Ted Nugent, his band has always featured great musicians and great music. I would consider Dave Mustaine a legend.

Dave is a legend and other thrashers will aknowledge that. I think he likes to stir things up, maybe it helps him sleep at night.

Regardless of his musical talent, the fact that he views himself so highly is very annoying. He almost sees himself as god himself, like he's omniscient - he knows what's wrong with everyone else and isn't afraid of saying so.

Oh yeah, it's comments like the one he made about the Dissection guy killing himself that stops me from believing that any kind of holy spirit can reside inside christians.

In my opinion, the only reason he's legend is because of his hatred of James and Lars, and that is very unfortunate.

He is a legend because of the music, his hatered of James and Lars is probably petty jealously or something to give to the press, so they have something to write about, IMO its more of the later. MEGADETH has been successful for over 20 years no need for him to be jealous of Metallica, it is not like he ended up washing dishes.

Yeah, I agree that he's a legend (at least in my mind) for his music.
