I remember when I was a kid at a gas station/McDonald's stop or something on a backpacking trip with the scouts in the country and there was a big tour bus rv outside that was parked. We walked in and he was walking out going back. I didn't know Megadeth at the time, but when we left one of the kids was like.. that was Dave mustaine from Megadeth! I even remember the tallness and big gorgeous hair. Good memory. I have even see him live since, and it was a great show, of course.

Met him once after one of his gigs in the mid 90s when I was 12 or so. There was a food drive where if you donated enough canned goods you could meet the members of the band. There were a lot of people there and a lot of other artists could have just been hurrying to get through everyone and get out of there but he was gracious, super nice, and had a moment with each person. Even as a young kid that stood out to me. Great dude and still my single favorite metal musician of all time.

They don't get the whole point as to why he does what he does. If you want to make it in this business, you kinda have to be hard, have an ego, and all this be nice to people does NOT cut it at all..

I like how good & energised he feels about his band members. It's honestly a killer team and I'm pretty sure their new album will kick ssss with this line up. 🤟🏻

As if being arguably the most prolific musician in an entire genre isn't enough, the man just got his BJJ purple belt. That's an extremely dufficult physical and mental endeavor that the vast majority of BJJ practitioners will never acheive. To do that at 58 and having recently recovered from cancer is nothing short of amazing.

Saw Megadeth perform in April, and Dave most definitely has still got it. Crazy to think about how old he is, the cancer and how hard it hit him, and he was still shredding with ease & his vocals are on point. as he ages, he sounds a bit more like Lemmy, but that makes him even more special

Why do frickin interviewers find it necessary to constantly interrupt their subjects?!?! Just as Dave was going into a deep dive with what he means by "jazz influence" (a topic much debated online) and talking about "hits" and "sixteenth notes" the interviewer interrupts him with "you've always liked that, though." This was going to be one of Dave's most concise answers regarding what he means by "jazz influenced drummer" and he got cut off. Ugh

The world is full of too much BS. He is as real as you can get. Ive met the man and I dont mean a meet and greet. He was very cool to me and the small group of people attending this thing at his former house over the course of a weekend. We had a few conversations and I saw how he interacts with people. Class act does not begin to cover it. Good guy. Very good guy. Whats funny is I am not some fanboy type. I went to that thing on a lark because I can sing some of his stuff almost the same and I heard he was giving some time in his studio to record a song. So I went and he was really cool to me about it. He came in and listened and gave some pretty high praise which was most unexpected. Later, he and the band gave me a signed leather Megadeth jacket.
