Oh yeah, it's comments like the one he made about the Dissection guy killing himself that stops me from believing that any kind of holy spirit can reside inside christians.

I am not a theologian but you can't dismiss all of Christianity because one guy makes a stupid comment regarding suicide.

It's not necessarily that - and I have no problem with christians or anything like that, I still have lots of christian friends and listen to christian metal, but I still think that if the spirit of the divine creator was to live inside christians they'd find it impossibly to make snidey comments about people dying.

I get where your coming from, I have personally experienced people I am close to commiting suicide, and Dave should show at least a small degree of empathy. We may not agree or understand why a person would choose to end their life but you should at least express compassion especially if you are to call yourself a Christian.

Dave is a legend in his own mind... And my mind as well.

Megadeth = legendary metal band
Therefore, (by my math) driving force behind said band = legend

Mustaine Rules!!!!!!

Wasnt he on RNR Jepordy years ago?

Only a few people in metal have reached legend status. Mustaine is not one of em.

Ozzy
Angus Young
Eddie van Halen
The 4 Zeppelin dudes
MAYBE Slash
Lemmy

Eddie Van Halen?? -looks for place to vomit-

thats one dude i cant stand IMO thats like saying Vanilla Ice is a metal legend just my opinion Yeah EVH is a accomplished guitarist but he IMO lost his credibility a long time ago

Definitly agree on Ozzy and Lemmy and Angus Young

Id throw in Alice Cooper, Mustaine, and even the guys from Metallica

Yeh he was on it, and he kicked serious ass too

[quote]Mustaine: Well, they're entitled to their opinion, totally, and if they're talking from a music point of view, that's understandable, because there's only been one record so far with the new lineup. But what they have to realize is that I sang almost every single note of Marty Friedman's guitar solos, and I wrote the majority of Nick's drum parts, and I wrote almost every bass note that Ellefson played. It's just a matter of these guys getting into the groove.


Is that accepted truth!

Here's how I decide whether someone is a "legend" or not...and I don't use that word lightly.

1. When I think about the style of music (in this case metal) is it the first person or near the first person that comes to mind? Answer: not even close

2. If this person "did not exist", would the music be irreversibly different? Answer: no. Megadeth was an "important" band, but every album they released basically carbon copied the Metallica album that preceded it.

3. Did the individual change the cultural landscape? Answer: no.

Don't get me wrong, I "like" Megadeth...I admire Mustaine for what he's done...but in my estimation he's not a "legend".

Tony Iommi is a legend, Miles Davis is a legend, B.B. King is a legend, Ray Charles is a legend, Bob Marley is a legend....

i would say he is a guitar hero more than a legend
