stayed in MetallicA?.... I know this is a commonly asked question and please no arguing whether MetallicA or Megadeth are better they both RULE. I just want to know what would happen thats all.

If Dave Mustaine had stayed in Metallica, there would be no more Metallica. They would've all killed each other in a backstage brawl in 1984.

By 2010 Metallica would have gone thru 6000 line up change just like Megadeth have

They would've fought so much that eventually they would have to part ways.

Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.

We would've missed out on a lot of killer albums by Megadeth.

I couldnt agree with this statement more

Me too

I think asking a question like this is like asking what if Cliff Burton didnt die? Or what if Hetfield didnt come back to Metallica? In all seriousness I think Dave's songwriting would not have shone like it has with Megadeth, as its my understanding that it was Lars and James who wrote the majority of the material And Kirk would be out of a job too What would happen if Dave Mustaine...........

We wouldn't have had RUST IN PEACE.

But i guess Metallica would have been much much better than what they are today.

There would be no Megadeth, what good would that be? Dave is better without them.

Actually they're better without each other but I would've liked at least an album with Dave in the band.

Not trying to discuss the who's better issue, but i believe that Megadeth are more successful musically.

Im glad Dave got the boot, I love James rhythms and songwriting skills. Dave might be the more technical player but that doesnt fit Metallicas style IMO. If he was to stay there is no way Metallica writes the masterpieces they did...

We wouldn't have Rust In Peace and the world would be a much worse place for it.

Plus we wouldnt have that Duck Dodgers episode with Mustaine in it either and then that would be super duper bad heh

Metallica would be remembered as "some thrash band" and Exodus and co. would be where they are today.

you can only speculate. I'm not a fan of these questions because it's quite goofy. Its like asking what would happen if Ozzy never got booted from Black Sabbath, or if Paul DiAnno never left Maiden, etc...
