Metal Anarchy

During a recent interview with Revolver, Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine futher discussed his relationship with his former Metallica bandmates James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. The frontman believes a tour featuring both acts would help “make everything right.”

Mustaine said the following when asked if he wishes he maintained a friendship with Hetfield and Ulrich:

“You know, I liked them. If the friendship was restarted, it wouldn’t bother me. I would accept, and I think it would be nice to revisit some of those times. But I just think because there was a lot of hurt and misunderstanding around our time together that it would be difficult not to keep bringing up the past.

I think what needs to happen is there needs to be a Megadeth/Metallica tour. Period. That would, I’m sure, make everything right. We could hang out. Spend time together. But I know they don’t really tour like we do. I mean, when we go out on tour, we play many, many shows.”

He continued when it is was mentioned how rebuilding relationships can be hard:

“Yeah. It’s starting over. Sometimes, I think, when you have a grudge, you can’t… You can’t get past it. Personally, I’m pretty good at getting over grudges. But I don’t know…

If it’s meant to be, I’m sure I’ll see those guys. I remember we played up in San Francisco at the Cow Palace, and James told me he wanted me to play ‘My Last Words‘, because that was his favorite song. I thought that was really cool. Thank you, James. To say that you had a favorite song of mine, that was really nice.”
