HERO, ROCK STAR OR ASSHOLE?


Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), from the May 2001 issue of "Metal Edge": "I think the world needs a hero, because there are no more rock stars -- Axl (Rose) killed that. What the world needs is an enema, but there are too many assholes in the world to choose from to know where to put the hose, so a hero would be my second choice."

Mr. Mustaine, your reputation as one of the biggest assholes in the music biz precedes you, so I would have suggested placing the hose in YOUR crack.

Case in point: "Due to a pre-show bomb scare, the atmosphere inside the Antrim Forum was already tense when Dave Mustaine led Megadeth onstage for their first Northern Ireland concert in April 1988. Things quickly went from bad to worse as a 'refreshed' Mustaine started swinging his Jackson guitar at hecklers' heads and inviting punters onstage to fight him. Then, introducing encore 'Anarchy In The UK', Mustaine shouted, 'This one is for the cause. Victory to the IRA!' A section of the crowd cheered, another section booed and sporadic fights broke out in the venue. Mustaine had to be escorted from the venue under police escort, and was subsequently warned that he would be shot if he ever returned to Northern Ireland." (from the 1-27-01 issue of KERRANG!)

However, compared to Tommy Lee (that wife-beatin', bandwagon-jumpin', good-fer-nuthin' piece of crap -- Motley Crue's doing just fine without you), Dave's my best friend. And my hero.
