    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.

    I think Jeff Hanneman said it best when he said about people not understanding the music of Slayer. That you have to have problems to understand the music. 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.

    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.

    Amen, Dave. My whole family is breaking my heart too on their way too hell. They are all Christian Scientists but at 49 I found my own way to the foot of the cross and was born again. 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.

    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

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

    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.

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.
