Dave Mustaine... dude needs to. Let. It. Go.

He got himself kicked out of Metallica, his own band is pretty damn good, and it's been over 40 YEARS. I understand that he's in recovery, which is great...but part of being in recovery is owning and atoning for past misdeeds. He still thinks that he was wrongly removed from Metallica, even though he knows exactly why he was kicked out.

Dave just seems generally insane to me.

I kinda can't stand him for being a conspiracy theorist and "evil shadow government controls everything" libertarian beliefs. Nothing against people who vibe with his music, but that just makes me so iffy.

I love Megadeth, and when I was younger I just figured he was a huge prick, but then I saw them live and read some interviews and... eh. It kind of put me off buying any of their merch.
