There’s three things you can count on in this world — death, taxes and once a year Dave Mustaine going after his old Metallica bandmates in an interview. Back in the day Dave was in the band; they kicked him out. A LONG time ago.
This time in a chat with Guitar World Mustaine said that “I wanted things to be reconciled and to be friends” after doing The Big 4 tour with Anthrax and Slayer and playing at Metallica’s 30th anniversary celebrations in 2011. “But for whatever reason, they didn’t. And Metallica is represented by the same agent as Megadeth, and I’ve asked our agent, ‘You’re Metallica‘s agent, too; why won’t those guys play with us? What are they afraid of?”
Mustaine continued, “The fact is simple: The world wants to see Megadeth and Metallica play together… Does Megadeth need Metallica? No. But Metallica talks about their fans, but they don’t give them what they’ve been asking for. What are they afraid of? I don’t know. It’s not me; it’s them.”
