DAVE MUSTAINE Discusses His Autobiography With Canada's EXPLOREMUSIC (Video)

August 3, 2010

Alan Cross of ExploreMusic conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine last week when the band played the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. You can now watch the chat in three parts below.

When asked if he quit METALLICA or if he was fired, Mustaine replied, "I was fired. 'Cause I punched him [METALLICA frontman James Hetfield]. But we just made up when we did the 'Big Four' [dates in Europe in June]."

He added, "There's no feud [between me and METALLICA]. Anybody that continues to perpetuate that stuff is just going for tabloid sensationalism.

"When I see that stuff in print, I feel sorry for the journalists who keep doing that beaten, tired, old story trying to sell press.

"There are so many great things that are happening with me, with my career, do you have to go back to that? 'Cause, I mean, there's nothing there.

"If someone can't tell now that there's no feud after we played on stage together... I mean, what do I need? A love child to prove it? It's [like], c'mon."

Dave Mustaine's long-awaited autobiography, "Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir" (formerly "Hello Me... Meet The Real Me"),was released in the U.S. today (Tuesday, August 3) via HarperCollins's It Books imprint (focusing on pop culture, sports, style and content derived from the Internet). The U.K. edition, "Mustaine: A Life In Metal", will hit bookstores in the U.K. on September 30.

"Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir" was co-written by New York Times journalist Joe Layden who also authored "The Last Great Fight" about what is considered by many to be the biggest upset in the history of boxing: James "Buster" Douglas' tenth-round knockout win over Mike Tyson in 1990.
