Q&A with Dave Mustaine 4/13/10

[Metalstu18]

Hi dave, I'm from New Jersey and was wondering whats your favorite megadeth song? and if its not wrong of me to ask, favorite metallica song?

[sosomething]

Sushi or Mexican?

[Uk Ant]

Dear Dave,

Is there anyone one from your past you'd like to work with again?

[gdlventura]

Hey Dave,
Just caught you guys at the Palladium and loved it. Also saw you in December at the House of Blues in Vegas. Why did you guys cut the show so short there? I know that idiot threw some ice up on stage, but was there something else? And by the way, I love your comparison of discovering Chris to the Ozzy/Randy scenario. He sure reminds me of him. Rock on!

First time on a live forum if I am screwing this up!

[Dave Mustaine]

Dave (too familiar to address you as "Dave"?),

VERY cool of you to do this. I've been a fan of yours for many years, and can honestly and unabashedly cite you as one of my primary influences as a musician and a guitarist.

Given that I'm only one of very, very many people you've not only entertained but influenced as a player, I'd like to ask what it's like to know that you've left an indelible mark on the western music lexicon?

I don't mean to be verbose but I think Megadeth's contribution is significant...

Im exhausted just reading this.

[Dave Mustaine]

Hi there!! I'm from Costa Rica. Ummm...my friends and I are wondering if you guys are coming here on May 9th.
Is it true?
Thanks a lot!!

You rock!!

yes we are coming to costa rica

[jrhoden]

Joe From Atlanta

[_Confrontation_]

Hi Dave,

I was curious about what do you think about "Endgame". Do you think it´s different of the other albums or what?...

[Adriana]

Hi Dave, I'm from Argentina. I wonder why you decided to do just one show here at Luna Park. the tickets are sold out and I can't believe I won't be there! You know the Argentinians love you!

[texasguitarslinger]

iPod or Zune?

[Slaytallideth]

Dave,

How do you feel Megadeth's new albums stacks up to Metallica and Slayer's? Because I feel that Endgame is head and shoulders above the other 2

[Dave Mustaine]

It would be nice to know what inspired you to write the beautiful song "The Hardest Part of Letting Go...Sealed With a Kiss"?

First half is about my wife. Second half is Edgar Allen Poe.

[voyager71390]

Hi Dave, this is Justin from LA

I saw you at your R.I.P. tour in hollywood, your voice sounded shot, I hope you're feeling better now, eh?

My question is: Does your son have a band? If yes, does your son's band need another guitar player? :P

[Dave Mustaine]

Thanks so much for doing this Q&A Dave, and it was a pleasure to meet you at the User Group Day we had a few years back.

Anyways, if you could do an album that is a total departure from all of the Megadeth stuff, something where you'd have all kinds of different artist playing with you, be it different drummers, singers, guitar players, bass players, or whatever and doing different styles of music.......Who would you like to be on that album with you?

thanks man!!

i am content with Megadeth.

[Beat]

I noticed that Metal Hammer magazine keeps its readers updated on everything related to Megadeth, more than other magazines... Is there any special relationship between you both or is it just that they are a proper magazine?

[Beer$]

Put it on a website. Get it on the the LiveLine.com. Email Scott@theliveline.com

Thanks Dave, I thought you weren't getting around to mine so I reposted it so ignore that. I'm impressed at how Megadeth's sound adapts to technological updates in the recording domain and how UA and Endgame have sounded, some bands just don't know what sound they're looking for and still managed to sound questionable in 2009 with billions of dollars.

[thecallofktulu]

Is Vic's Garage open to public use, or is it a private studio for only Megadeth's use?

[rattlehead0906]

dave, I remember you saying somewhere that a few of the riffs from endgame were written years ago, I was wondering which ones thoes were and what years they were written.

[JollyRoger523]

Dave,

I don't have any questions. I just wanted to say thanks for putting out some killer tunes.

Thanks,
Jesse

[Dave Mustaine]

Hey Dave, I was wondering if you have any idea on future Rock Band/Guitar Hero releases? Specifically Countdown to Extinction, my friend was wondering.

Also, do you have any idea if the "Big 4" tour will be coming to Australia?

No to Austraila. Hopefully with Countdown.
