Hey Dave--think you had it bad? I had Tourette's, Asperger's, narcolepsy, and rotten teeth. In second grade a mob of kids (literally) would chase me home from school yelling "hey rotten teeth!" while throwing rocks at me, punching me, and knocking my schoolbooks on the ground. Imagine that life.

That's how I felt growing up listening to 80s Thrash Metal such as Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth. The music speaks to me, it understands me and comforts me when everyone else couldn't do the same thing at that time.

I have a lot in common with Dave in growing up alienated; it took me a long time to learn to be social and I did a lot of awkward things I thought might be cool or funny and regretted later.

I was raised as a jahovahs witness and can attest to everything he said. I was lucky that my dad was Catholic and put his foot down over Christmas, which my brother and I always got to celebrate with the rest of the family who weren't religious at all really. Meeting twice a week for 3 hours a time, Saturday morning bible study with one of the elders, Sunday morning meeting at the Kingdom Hall followed by another Bible study all afternoon with one of the older kids. Wasn't allowed to watch anything remotely sexual, with bad language, or even mild violence until I was around 16 and basically couldn't be stopped anymore by law. I wasn't allowed around girls, full stop. I remember my mum going mad because she found out I had a girlfriend when I was 16 going on 17. As a kid I was constantly scared of god and satan finding out I I did or thought something "bad", like lying to my mum about brushing my teeth or if I'd go to bed without saying my prayers. I was terrified Satan was going to come in my room at night, posses me, and make me do bad things. I was pushed into believing that allowing worldly ideas into my head was allowing Satan into my head. And that Satan wants me to do bad things against gods will so he can get closer to me and make me do more bad stuff. I literally went to bed scared his evil demon spirit was going to sneak through my window and possess me like a puppet and make me do all the evil stuff he supposedly loves people doing. I was 5 years old... who the fuck teaches that to a child? Then when I left at 16 and my mum couldn't legal make me doing anything the other member tried to encourage her to distance herself from me. Madness. She also left shortly after the told her to disown her own son at 16.

Having the Holy Spirit onboard was an unexpected, staggering and beautiful honor! I never did care much for Metallica but I am a life long Budgie fan. Burke Shelly was sort of a pastor to me in high school. Although I didn't know the Gospel I did have a fascination with the Bible and somehow I formed an attachment toBurke's lyrics as they were so mysterious, beautiful and somewhat biblical. I know James Hetfield was raised in the same CS cult that I was and he was the only other person I had heard of that was into Budgie besides me. Now I am 59 and I still listen to Budgie a lot and Megadeth a little more.

Lot of respect for Dave. He is not exactly wrong about JWs being false Christians. I am Orthodox myself, not Protestant like Dave. But Jehovah’s Witnesses outright deny the Trinity. That alone is a deal breaker. You can’t deny the Holy Trinity and call yourself a Christian, that’s just bare basics. It is probably one of the only theological truths upon which Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant evangelicals can all agree; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I’m sure some atheist will post something snarky in response to that, but whatever.

For someone like Dave Mustaine to go through all the shit that he went through in his life stuff like that would normally drive a person to either go to jail or commit suicide. But that’s the thing I feel like if Dave did not have music in his life he probably would’ve end up dead or in jail. Like honestly God bless him he truly seems like a driven determined person and that’s what kept him alive all these years and not only that but his passion for what he does.

Dave… I’m a huge Metallica fan here, and I think you and Megadeth are awesome. I met you and shook your hand back in 2009 I think it was in Charlotte, NC when you released a new album, and you stayed and signed EVERY autograph for everyone who purchased Megadeth’s new album. You show everyone how you can come from humble beginnings and make it on to be a huge success. Even in tough times in your early on life, and then your early on career, you’ve become a huge success.
He was kicked out of Metallica because he basically did not know how to socialize as a young adult. He though being an asshole was showing friendship....it must have taken him a long time to learn how to get along with others. I have a lot in common with Dave in growing up alienated; it took me a long time to learn to be social and I did a lot of awkward things I thought might be cool or funny and regretted later. I now live by the mantra "if you think it might be stupid or offensive...don't do it or say it!". Worked well for me since

I was raised as a jahovahs witness and can attest to everything he said. I was lucky that my dad was Catholic and put his foot down over Christmas, which my brother and I always got to celebrate with the rest of the family who weren't religious at all really. Meeting twice a week for 3 hours a time, Saturday morning bible study with one of the elders, Sunday morning meeting at the Kingdom Hall followed by another Bible study all afternoon with one of the older kids. Wasn't allowed to watch anything remotely sexual, with bad language, or even mild violence until I was around 16 and basically couldn't be stopped anymore by law. I wasn't allowed around girls, full stop. I remember my mum going mad because she found out I had a girlfriend when I was 16 going on 17. As a kid I was constantly scared of god and satan finding out I I did or thought something "bad", like lying to my mum about brushing my teeth or if I'd go to bed without saying my prayers. I was terrified Satan was going to come in my room at night, posses me, and make me do bad things. I was pushed into believing that allowing worldly ideas into my head was allowing Satan into my head. And that Satan wants me to do bad things against gods will so he can get closer to me and make me do more bad stuff. I literally went to bed scared his evil demon spirit was going to sneak through my window and possess me like a puppet and make me do all the evil stuff he supposedly loves people doing. I was 5 years old... who the fuck teaches that to a child? Then when I left at 16 and my mum couldn't legal make me doing anything the other member tried to encourage her to distance herself from me. Madness. She also left shortly after the told her to disown her own son at 16.

Having the Holy Spirit onboard was an unexpected, staggering and beautiful honor! I never did care much for Metallica but I am a life long Budgie fan. Burke Shelly was sort of a pastor to me in high school. Although I didn't know the Gospel I did have a fascination with the Bible and somehow I formed an attachment toBurke's lyrics as they were so mysterious, beautiful and somewhat biblical. I know James Hetfield was raised in the same CS cult that I was and he was the only other person I had heard of that was into Budgie besides me. Now I am 59 and I still listen to Budgie a lot and Megadeth a little more.

That last line.....could help to laugh my ass
After seeing stuff like that you see how spoiled you are and how little of the world you’ve seen but I’ll always be grateful for all the opportunities and the great childhood I have

You are a good guy Dave and a decent person. I grew up on the lower end of the socio-economic ladder with my parents both working 2 jobs and living in tenement apartments. My family eventually climbed up out of that situation but the thoughts and memories have never left me. Thanks for telling your story...it was very inspiring to me to hear even that little bit. Take care, okay.
I grew up poor. We had to use food stamps or go to food pantries at times. We didn't go to the doctor a lot of the time because of the expense. My mom was SO embarrassed about it, we weren't to speak of it. I mean i get it, pride and all. I didn't even know that there was anything but public school (where we are free lunch). But now I'm a mom, with a disabled child. I work full time too, there's free school lunches and Medicaid. I've had a link card in the passed. I'm not proud of it but it's definitely not the worst thing ever. I'm quite grateful for all of it. I pay for the shit out of my paycheck just like everyone else so no shame. That's why it's there. Jehovah witness though, that's some messed up shit lol
This is why I love Dave man. This guy is just the real deal. Cool guy.
I agree with Dave about his religion as a child. I too grew up in the same religion. It was spot on with what he said.
This broke my heart. He has been through so much. I wish him the very best.
I pretty much had the same childhood as Dave, maybe even worse, but he gives me hope that I can break the cycle of poverty, & make a name for myself like he did ❤
Damn, Dave. I never knew you had to go through this. So great to see what you made of yourself after that tragedy.
And the Paradox is : guess where the the drive to become '' Something " emanates from ?
Wow, this is great insight to dave. No wonder why he held the pain of being booted from metallica for so many years. Too many years indeed, no one deserves to live through that pain. He finally felt accepted, he had brothers by his side. He was going to do great things with them, and from his perspective, without warning bam...booted. Now to you Dave fans or Metallica fans dont you even dare think about trying to argue under my comment. Im just really thinking about that right now, and its really no wonder how that damaged him so much. Poor guy

Yea he’s talked about that many times, he found a true family in the metal scene especially with Metallica, so when they told him to leave he felt betrayed and really hurt by what he thought were his brothers. So he came back with Megadeth

Ironic, then, that Cliff, whom James essentially saw as a close brother, was "booted" from the band, the brotherhood. Both Dave and James lost their "families."
And he was an addict, and he had throat cancer, and even in spite of all that (or because of that) he's a multimillionaire who can still shred AND sing (saw him earlier this year with Lamb of God, an amazing Christian Band!) and he rocked!!!
Oh boy. The irony of the last statement.... Makes you think what's worse, though; someone who believes in literal hell and earnestly wants to 'save' people through proselytisation, or someone who _still_ 'believes' in literal hell and doesn't.
What's worse is when there are people around to help and they don't.
Great stuff real inspiration!! Still he did not find that as an excuse to pickup gun. Hope kids from disjointed families in US learn and acknowledge that
Dave’s a fucking legend. Sad childhood. Now look what he made of himself.
This was a rant that ramped up perfectly at the end.
I had the same exact childhood. Jehovas witness family, torn parents, neglectful/absent parents, abuse, bullying. His music is more meaningful to me because of the ability to relate.

You notice the themes he uses in his music? A lot of Jehovah witness terminology.
no matter what country or religion WE ALL HAVE SAME STORIES....
Hard not to like him. I hope I see him up there!
But you're one of the coolest even after your childhood and that makes U a legend.
Wow Dave, loved your testimony!!
Hope wherever Dave is now he's doing well. ALWAYS loved Megadeath!!!
Tragic, at least he became a rockstar in the end 😢

He's a metalhead at heart till to this day, he still has that fire inside of him.
🤔More and more recently i find myself distancing from metallica because of james and larz choices. And getting closer to megadeath because of who dave really is. And the truck ton of shit he had to scrape through to get to where he is. It's very very inspiring.
Hey I Love this guy haven't seen him or Pam [his wife] or James his rehab-buddy for a few years, but last time we went it it was cool and he just picked up the tab. He was cool and his family and James too. I hope they are doing well. The last time I saw them though I was broken-down due to the death of my beloved Fiancee' who was and is Wonderful. She was from Bosnia. I miss everything about her.
Lot of respect for Dave. He is not exactly wrong about JWs being false Christians. I am Orthodox myself, not Protestant like Dave. But Jehovah’s Witnesses outright deny the Trinity. That alone is a deal breaker. You can’t deny the Holy Trinity and call yourself a Christian, that’s just bare basics. It is probably one of the only theological truths upon which Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant evangelicals can all agree; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I’m sure some atheist will post something snarky in response to that, but whatever.
For someone like Dave Mustaine to go through all the shit that he went through in his life stuff like that would normally drive a person to either go to jail or commit suicide. But that’s the thing I feel like if Dave did not have music in his life he probably would’ve end up dead or in jail. Like honestly God bless him he truly seems like a driven determined person and that’s what kept him alive all these years and not only that but his passion for what he does.
People who grow up like this turn out to be great artists, but it is a high price to pay.
Most people become very humble people through a rough childhood or tough times but Dave still managed to be bitter and ungrateful about everything
and the angst in early songwriting shows. There's always music driven by true life experience and emotion, that's what makes it passionate to the musician.
Dave, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel!
The fact he can talk about it shows he worked thru that crap.... damn good for him . those years are very formative. So many metal guys have these stories of hardship - Way to go , Dave ...... Keep on Rockin' !
Lots of respect 🙏 to Dave in recovery 9 years
His family will not go to hell. He can pray for them, as I prayed for Dave.
It’s like everyone was just broke and had no cash like every musician suffered

What's been said is true: intense suffering produces great art. 👍
He 100% right about Jehovah Witness being a false religion and great he knows the truth now and is on the right path to GOD.
It's funny how most people who convert to a religion think they now have a free pass to judge everyone else.

Exactly. It's the opposite of the salvation with which Jesus Christ has set us free, we who believe the Word of God that the sacrifice of His son on the cross was sufficient to forgive all of our sins. In Jesus Christ we are set free indeed.
My parents got divorced before I started kindergarten as well. We also were on food stamps, lunch tickets for lunch, could not afford Nikes Converse at the time. We got our shoes from a supermarket. Life wasn’t easy on my end either. I know how you feel Dave.
