I'd have to agree with this ....... they're almost as bad as Sammy talking about Van Halen

Hopefully the dude gets some therapy and can move on from Metallica

Yes. Seems Mustaine did well and better than fine in his own career without Metallica. It's not like he faded into obscurity and worked a regular job after being kicked out of Metallica.

He should respect what he accomplished more than it seems he does. He has/had decades of a successful music career, and survived into old age. He should be proud of what he accomplished IMO. I would be.

Yeah, but did he though? Dave isn't the most reliable witness. I'd like James & Lars to verify exactly what riffs are Daves after all these years of Daves claims.

Dave has written some of the best riffs in metal. He's a fkn master. 'Ride the Lightning' as a song is cool and all, but I wouldn't place those riffs as anything outstanding tbh. Much more iconic riffs come from on his own stuff like RIP and Peace Sells. He doesn't need to rehash a good, but not necessarily outstanding song from an ex-band that is 40+ years old, and I think is just gonna tarnish his own legacy.
Ironically it's one of Kirks best written leads as a whole within the song. Maybe he wants to Dave-wash the song with his own version out of spite to Kirk?

Dave's usual album release media rounds always include his bitchy stuck in the past nature toward Metallica in interviews to garnish clickbait attention, but covering an old song of theirs at this stage of his swansong album just seems next level petty. Maybe it will be amazing and I'll be blown away. Maybe not.

I like Dave for his Megadeth stuff. This 'cover' seems like shooting himself in the foot right at the finish line.

I think it is awesome he is doing this and a great full circle moment. Would be cool if James is singing on it as well.

 

[angelspade]

Good for Dave...but I suspect this version will not compare favorably to the original.

I think it’s sad. its the dudes final album of his own legendary band, yet he still just has to play some kind of victim and make it about him getting kicked out of Metallica 43 years ago or whatever. Wouldnt getting James to sing basically just confirm Metallica is above Megadeth?? for the seemingly alpha baddass martial artist Dave Mustaine who kicked cancers ass, its just not a good look to me.
