Dave Mustaine

It was a quarter-inch tape. It had probably two days' worth of guitar riffs on it, just me playing and playing and playing. And we took that tape player and the reel of tape with us out to New York. And when we did two shows out there, and after those two shows, They woke me up one morning and said, look, you're out of the band. And I said, what are you talking about? You're out of the band.

I said, no warning? No second chance? You're not going to give me a warning? You're just going to kick me out? And I thought that was unfair. And it showed a grotesque lack of character. And so it pissed me off and was a huge part of the fuel. But at the time, I was really mad, and I didn't want to forgive them for what they did. And I told them when I left, do not use my music.

And of course, they used it. They write The Lightning I wrote, Call of Cthulhu I wrote. Let's see, what else? There's Phantom Lord, Metal Militia, Jump in the Fire, The Four Horsemen. Jeez. And I wrote a bunch of Leper Messiah too. They didn't give me credit on that. You listen to the riffs, you know they're my riffs. It's like, boing.

You think I'm going to all of a sudden hear my riff and say that's not me? Damn. Yeah, I wrote a lot of their music that made them. And all the solos on that first record were mine. The best Kirk could try and copy them. Wow. Yeah.

Because when I got drunk, I got violent. James and I had gone out to a club one time, and it was the old Mabuhay. It was across the street from the Stone. And we were out front, and some guy came out of the alleyway, and he said, there's a guy beating some girl up in the alleyway. And of course, I, being the champion for justice, did not want to hear that and not do anything.

So I went down the alleyway with James. And of course, James not being a fighter, started yelling out, kill him, kill him, kill him. And the guy comes out from behind a van and he was much bigger than James. And he said, who's gonna kill me? And James goes, points to me. So I immediately grabbed a guy and put him down in a submission and started rabbit punching him until he stopped moving.

And then we ran out of the alleyway and we stood out front until the paramedics came And that was it. So I imagine he saw that and he figured, you know, I don't want to be part of this. Dave's already beat me up back down in Los Angeles and he's just too violent. Damn. Because James did get a punch in the mouth from me. He kicked my puppy. You kicked your puppy?

Yeah, I was selling pot for a living, as you know, so one time I did a concert and people knew I was on stage, so they just... Jimmy, the window, there's nobody there. I took all my pot, and I was pissed. So I got two dogs. My nephew took one, and I took the other one. And I had taken her up with me to rehearsal, and she was playing, and she's looking up at me. I'm standing over here.
