dave mustaine is a cunt

I'm a Foolish Man... But Who's Counting?

The Sweater Vest Leaves His Arms Free..........to Mutilate!

Froth in Peace

Actually just say Peace Sells...But Who's Buying and you're good. "Yeah, fuck Iran!"

dave is on the shortlist of people that were definitively better when they were wasted all the time and busied their brains with getting more wasted instead of deep thinking

So Far, So Good... Santorum!

Frothy Is My Business...And Business is Good

still less obnoxious than George Clooney

Wow, I was assuming he had endorsed Rick Moranis or Rick Dees, but when I got to the end of that ellipsis, I had quite a shock!

Every time this guy or that other group of guys open their mouths or do anything, I get really happy that I discovered Coroner in recent years.

I hear ya. this is basically how I feel whenever dave says something these days:

Um, why does this come as a surprise to anyone. This is a guy who quit AA (a group founded in a church basement which can't go an hour without dozens of platitudes about a higher power) because it wasn't Christian enough.

no one is surprised

Actually just say Peace Sells...But Who's Buying and you're good. "Yeah, fuck Iran!"

"holy wars... the punishment deux"

Christianity

Mustaine was raised as a Jehovah Witness[28] and over the course of his career has been born again as a Christian.[29]

In 1988, in response to the British government's criticism of homosexuality, Mustaine said: "More power to them. It says in the Bible that men should not lay with men like they lay with women. I mean I don't wanna f--k up and not go to heaven."[30] In an answer to a question about Judas Priest having an overt homosexual image, "I don't wanna talk about this. The last thing I need is a bunch of homos picketing us."[30]

Mustaine began to focus on religion more directly while attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.[29] Finding that the meetings were actually impeding his progress in sobriety and spirituality, Mustaine left to focus on Christianity on his own.[29] Through this process he became a committed Christian.[29] In line with this, it has become his policy not to appear with any band that is seen as black metal or satanic, such as declining to appear in a music festival in Greece with the band Rotting Christ as well as in Israel with the band Dissection.[31] In these instances, Mustaine requested that the bands not be kicked off the bill, but that Megadeth would step down and perform some other night.[29][31] However, the promoters actually removed the smaller bands from the billing rather than deal with rescheduling the headliner.[29]
[edit] Politics

Over his career, Mustaine has made comments about politics in the US and internationally. In a confrontational 1988 interview with Sounds journalist Roy Wilkinson, Mustaine said, "If I were President of the United States, I'd build a great wall along the Mexican border and not let anybody in. ... The beauty is gone when you see Americans sleeping on sidewalks and it makes me sick to to think we have assh---s in this country letting f--king Mexicans in. Who needs this s--t?"[30]

In 1988, Mustaine caused a riot when Megadeth played a concert in Northern Ireland after he "unwittingly" expressed support for the Irish Republican Army (IRA) regarding the problems between Northern Ireland's Catholic and Protestant communities.[32][33] This incident occurred amid a period of turmoil in the province known as the Troubles.

In 1992 Mustaine covered the Democratic National Convention for MTV.[34] He went on to vote for President Bill Clinton.[35]

In 2004, Mustaine said he would vote for President Bush because John Kerry would "ruin our country."[36] In 2011, he called President Obama "the most divisive president we've ever had. I've never, in my 50 years of being alive, listened to an American president try and turn one class of people against another class of people."[37]

In 2009, Mustaine discussed the influence Alex Jones' films and ideas have had him and his music.[38] Specifically, Mustaine said that he wrote the album Endgame based on Jones' Endgame film in order "to educate his fans and the general public about the conspiracy behind the march towards global government."[39]

In 2012, he endorsed Rick Santorum for President, saying "Earlier in the election, I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable...You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I'm hoping that if it does come down to it, we'll see a Republican in the White House... and that it's Rick Santorum." [40]

I've never, in my 50 years of being alive, listened to an American president try and turn one class of people against another class of people.

lol.

"I don't wanna talk about this. The last thing I need is a bunch of homos picketing us."

something about how dumb & blunt this is made me lol

the thing is, Dave Mustaine is crazy. Everybody knows this. It would take anybody about an afternoon of sending him the right links to turn him into a raving: libertarian, liberal, reformed Jehovah's Witness, whatever. His politics aren't really politics at all, they're completely incoherent. This has been reflected in his album titles since his band's debut.

So, he's crazy in the sense that about 30% of the American electorate is crazy. Don't think that will find its way into the DSM V.

I'm also not sure I would call that a glowing recommendation… Seems more like "I'm Republican but I don't like any of these other jokers so I guess this guy?"

phew

Surprised he isn't endorsing Gingrich:

By 1998, while the band was still touring in support of Cryptic Writings, Menza was having knee problems and sought medical advice. He was informed he had a tumor, which was later found to be benign, and had it removed. As a result, Megadeth hired a temporary replacement by Jimmy DeGrasso rather than cancel any dates. When the time came to record a follow-up album, Menza was not asked back and DeGrasso became the band's official drummer. Menza has said in several interviews that, while in the hospital recovering from knee surgery, he received a phone call from Mustaine that simply said "Your services are not needed anymore".

So, he's crazy in the sense that about 30% of the American electorate is crazy. Don't think that will find its way into the DSM V.

No, everybody who's worked with him says he's nuts & if you listen to him talk his free-associating sounds like a whole lotta DSM-endorsed pathology. I'm nobody's doctor but I'd bet a pretty good chunk money on how well he'd respond to Lithobid. So if somebody wants to trap Dave Mustaine and get him into my lab I'd appreciate that

what should we use as bait?

crucifix made out of cocaine

tell him you have obama's real birth certificate

so many lols itt
mostly because all i can do is laugh at dave mustaine even though that's mean because he is clearly not well

I picture someone running around trying to trap Dave Mustaine and he keeps escaping, like a malevolent hateful hyperreligious Schmoo

can't find anigif of hospital workers chasing patient around with a net

much respect to the handful of dudes that could stand to be around mustaine for more than a couple of years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Megadeth_band_members

wow, what a way to top off that menza story:

...however, DeGrasso replaced Menza permanently, after Mustaine claimed that Menza had "lied about having cancer".[6]

huh dude from white lion! whoodathunkit?

timeline graphic is priceless

Mustaine may have lousy politics, but he still puts on a phenomenal show. He's only one vote, not too worried about this. Just like Alice Cooper and Ted Nugent dont bother me. I dont listen to these guys for their political beliefs.

Alice Cooper's political views seriously bum me out because he is my favorite of these three.

Someone's been editing their own Wikipedia entry:

Dave Mustaine 	1983–2002 2004 onward 	lead vocals, guitar 	All Megadeth releases Including every platinum album and major single-EP.

oh yeah obv. i have pretty much ignored the politics of alice tho because idk his impact as a sometimes crossdressing super visible crazed monster did more for my kind of modern society than whatever lunkhead he might vote for i guess xpost

his impact as a sometimes crossdressing super visible crazed monster did more for my kind of modern society than whatever lunkhead he might vote for i guess
totally
his collateral contribution as a weirdo outweighs his puny voting power
or so i tell myself

it also helps to remind you that you really can't judge a book by its cover

And Alice hasn't brought his politics into his songs/stage performances really at all, much less to the extent that Mustaine and Nugent have.

But then again Alice never made a record as good as Rust In Peace,

yr right, he made several

several better ones that is

yes

They've all made great records. And they've all made really terrible records.

yeah thats pretty unarguable actually

Dave Mustaine has been a kill them all, let god sort 'em out kind of guy since the 80s.

I'd actually say that, on average, Megadeth has a more consistent discography than Alice or Ted, even if you don't think the highs are as high.

depends, i consider the Alice Cooper Band different from Alice the solo artist, the Alice Cooper Band was flawless IMO

do they still do public caning in Singapore? can we make that happen for Dave?

Re: Dixie Chicks --- this is even worse! All the Dixie Chicks said was that they were embarrassed that the President was from Texas... Imagine what would have happened had they accused Bush of killing Americans for his own political gain! They wouldn't have burned their records, they would have burned the Dixie Chicks themselves...

Someone should start some sort of "Birther" conspiracy that believes Dave Mustaine was never in Metallica

I cant believe how stupid Mustaine is sometimes. I would think you would have to have half a brain to be as talented musically as he is. But he's a complete idiot.

he's using any good, usable brain to play guitar. all the 'leavings' are used for this bullshit

Obviously, Mustaine is not an Obama fan ... and recently bashed the President during an interview with Alex Jones ... saying, "With all of the proof about his birth certificate being fake. And you see the signs in Kenya that say 'the birthplace of Barack Obama.' Hello?! C'mon, guys. How stupid are we right now?"

impossible to fake a sign in kenya

Mustaine just replaced one set of neuroses with another. He's always had a persecution complex.

This is awesome btw

"With all of the proof about his birth certificate being fake. And you see the signs in Kenya that say 'the birthplace of Barack Obama.' Hello?! C'mon, guys. How stupid are we right now?"

This is actually kind of compelling. He may have swayed me here.

Me too. I mean come on people. There's a sign in Kenya! Excuse me while I donate $100 to Mitt Romney and Sheriff Arpaio

seriously wondering what the crowd's reaction to his rantings must have been.

Probably "Metallica Sux!"

douchewagon

They may have said that too, after they stopped chanting "USA"

douchewagon

is this a thing crowds chant at shows now (plz say yes)

Apparently it happens in Singapore.

also the national dish

ppl in singapore thought he was talking about oppressive gum control regulations, cheered wildly.

dave mustaine is a cunt

xpost amen

lol that Some Kind of Monster appearance -- Mr Veg and I still refer to him as 'Cryin' Dave'

The part that gets me is how from 2000-2008, you couldn't even criticize the president anymore, and all these Republicans were talking about how WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT NO MATTER WHAT and YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE THE GOVERNMENT EVER... and now, suddenly, the most patriotic shit you can do right now is to criticize the government. What a bunch of tools.

omg the guy who shouts "WE LOVE OBAMA" in the middle

hot dog lips

looool

its true

tee hee

God I hate when ppl who used to be fucked up on drugs get fucked up on Yeshua

"I for one, will never set foot in a Men’s Warehouse, even for shelter from a blizzard." - D.M.

he's moved on from that rant into chemtrails conspiracy theories. It's hard to keep up with his race up his own backside.

he always was an angry yelper tbf

tbh Men's Wearhouse sucks hardcore, it's pretty hard to fault him for his stance here

I've bought... 4? suits from them, and only one of them has been tailored correctly; one was tailored so baggily on me that when I tried it on I looked like a 10-year-old trying to wear his dad's clothes.

In fact, the suits I have that currently fit me best are pre-tailored Calvin Klein suits I bought from Macy's and the CK outlet

In summation, Men's Wearhouse can fuck off along with Dave Mustaine

I love the guy in the comments with the Hangar 18 joke.

Ive been having a problem with gift card delivery myself. Ive tried to send a gift card to a person, but since it requires a signature, and she's at work, she cant get it. And the company i bought it from wont waive their signature requirement. Since I bought the card, and I paid for the FedEx, isnt it up to me to determine whether the signature requirement can be waived?

Can we put a price tag on pants?

what was hilar to me is that CNN's business section had this as a headline

oh news

Pleats sell...but who's buying?

irl lol

so far, so good… sew hems.

skull beneath the suit

" You know me, I don’t complain much in writing, but I gotta get this off my chest"

If there's a new way to buy pants, I'll be the first in line.

"Hello me, it's me again. I don’t complain much in writing, but I gotta get this off my chest."

Why did he want to gift his employee with a Men's Warehouse gift certificate in the first place, is what I want to know.

Maybe they were poorly dressed?

Men's Wearhouse Gift Certificates Sell.....But Who's Buying?

Selling two suits for the price of one.....for a limited time only....is my business...i also guarantee you'll like the way you look.... and business is good.
