Interesting. Thoughts on a Lars-less Metallica?

save the drama for your mama

Dave said they were gonna kick Lars and James out at different times during his tenure in the band in a Metal Forces interview back in 85.

Hmm!

They probably would still be in the same sappy position they are in now...

At this point, who cares?

Ridiculous.

Silly crap.

Dave is a drama queen. plus, he likes to try & stick it to Lars every chance he gets.

Guys,

Face facts, Metallica Sucks!!!

Dave is a drama queen and needs to get over the whole metallica thing, but it would be cool if metallica did kick lars out because then they could get a decent drummer!

Holding a grudge after nearly 30 years. Props to Dave!

I do not get Mustaine, he has been and lead a successful band for over 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is not washing dishes somewhere, he did not end up like Alan Atkins or Dave Evans pondering what might have been, he actually made it!! And has managed to hold on to his success, and to a large part of audience for over 20 years, enough with this Metallica b.s.

I agree. To bad he wasn't better at tennis. Lars has always been the member of Metallica that I just didn't like. More to do with him then his skills though.

I'm so sick of listening to Dave bitching about this sh*t for the last 25 years.

Hey Dave... :

Who the hell cares?! Dave's been using this drama as a way to get media exposure for decades. Now Anthrax is feeling the need to get into the mix too? I guess if dropping your new vocalist doesn't make headlines, you can always blog about the never ending Mustaine/Metallica fued.

Does Dave even care? I don't really hear him talking much about it anymore. Seems fans care about this crap and bring it up moreso than Dave does.

Whilst I think Dave is a bit of a glutton for drama, it isn't helped by idiotic journalists effectively egging him on to say these things. If they keep asking him Metallica, of course he's going to talk about it.

Guys ... Dave didn't bring this up. He just answered the question. It's not his fault people keep asking him about METALLICA.

Meh, whatever. It was 25 years ago. Water under the bridge.

Though I do like this comment from a Blabbermouth reader under the article:

"Funny how Anthrax and Scott Ian can respond so quickly to Mustaine's comment, but can't give any sort of timely or decent explanation for Dan Nelson's ouster. Go figure."

Exactly. Dave just answers the questions asked. Maybe if lazy writers/reporters would stop asking him, he'd stop commenting.

Music "journalists" are the worst.

my sentiments exactly.

I don't really care but if Lars had been booted maybe we wouldn't have some of those turd albums of theirs.

I hope dave never goes back to metallica. His music is much better than metallica, and I wouldn't want metallica to take credit of what mustaine would write

There is no Metallica without Lars. End of story, it's not even up for discussion. He has been the driving force in the band since he first met James in 1981. I can't believe you guys seriously mean that.
