Dave Mustaine has sat down for an interesting, if volatile, interview with the Daily Telegraph. Well, two interviews if we’re being exact here – he abruptly cut off the first when the journalist in question began asking questions about the Megadeth mainman’s faith (these days Mustaine says he is a born-again Christian).
Anyway, inevitably, the subject of his ejection from Metallica, forty-three years ago, comes up. Clearly, it’s a grudge Mustaine will take to his grave. “In hindsight, I understand what happened and why, but at the time, all I knew was I was p***ed, and I wanted to be heavier and faster than they were. And so that’s what I set out to do.”
