DAVE MUSTAINE: "AN OPEN LETTER"

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following "open letter" on the band's official web site:

"METALLICA, as you know, has been selected to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So, it is with much respect that I say congratulations!

"I also had the nice surprise of hearing that they called to invite me to the pre-ceremony party the night before, and then to the actual ceremony. Unfortunately, as you all know, I will be winding down our European tour with JUDAS PRIEST, so I will be unable to attend. However, I'd like to say to Lars (Ulrich) and James (Hetfield), I am so very proud of all you have accomplished. I will continue to pray for the very best for you and your families, as I always have.

"Thank you for the invitation and thinking of me."

Well I guess he is not mentionned because they had never been playing with Metallica at the same time...
Dave just congrats his ex-friends, the only Met-members he used to play with...

That's a nice message.
I admire Dave in the same capacity as Metallica.
It's a pity that things went that way between them...

Don't know wether it's honest or not.
But I do wish he could attend!

See Dave? Metallica isn't the piece of shit band that you think it is. They thought of you, now are you satisfied? Will you stop throwing shit at them now?

Why are you attacking Dave now? He's been kind. You give him no chance. Maybe he's really sorry and now he's genuinely happy for them: people change with time. I don't think he's a saint, I know he isn't, but what makes you think that James or Lars are? Of course there will be a small part of jealousy in Dave's words, that's normal: but however he tried to be kind.You're behaving just like Megadeth fans when they attack Met guys for every single reason.

Spot on. He is attacked no matter what. When he behaves well even that issn't good enough for you.

I'm sorry. It's just that I really don't like Dave Mustaine , even though I tried. I've had some nasty experiences with Megadeth fans and I guess that's why I was so subjective when I expressed my opinion. And I really don't believe that he can change in just a day after all the shit throwing at Metallica for all these years. I mean even after skom he kept talking shit about Lars especially. I know I'm not being fair when I said what I said, but that's just me and you can't change my opinion.


And come on, 'praying' for them? :rolleyes:

Yeah I thought that was funny too. Because I've read interviews from the past where he said he was praying for their FAILURE.

Dave has only recently stopped talking shit about Metallica (only a couple of years). He was doing it for 20+ years. From one side I'm glad he has stopped, but on the other side I don't fully trust him in this 'congratulating' message.

I feel a bit double sided on this thing.
