Erin Broadley: Dave Mustaine

ERIN BROADLEY: Dave Mustaine

"That's terrible," Dave Mustaine says to me, his eyes fixed on my sleeveless, inked forearm. "I'm looking at your tat. I get it. A musician broke your heart." Not quite... Well, wait... Yes. One did. I shift in my seat; the Megadeth frontman has just outed me. I resist the urge to move my arm from sight; the tattoo -- a beamed eighth note anchored by two halves of a heart -- is as subtle as a scarlet letter. This wasn't how I expected our conversation to start -- about vulnerability, or about me...

Minor correction: Dave wasn't kicked out of Metallica halfway through recording Kill 'Em All. He was kicked out before they even started recording.

good call. fixed. guess i was thinking writing, not recording process. thanks for the heads up.

cool interview, nice to see Dave on here.
many moons ago he signed an old strat I had and I got to shake his hand
I was like 12, still a fan, hes a beast

i just saw him live, he is great!

Dave Mustaine is my idol

My friend got to work with him at his studio back in 2004 and I was sooo jealous of her. I bought a Jackson Flying V because of Dave

Peace Sells But Who's Buying

Funny, I just noticed the link to this interview on the bottom of the site after I chucked Rust in Peace on. Brutal.

Mustaine is a fucking legend.
Love the guy.
Great interview
