Megadeath singer makes a total ass of himself...

He can always chum around with Ted Nugent...


WND is also turning to second-rate rock stars to push its birther agenda as well. Another March 29 WND article highlights how "Megadeth singer and guitarist Dave Mustaine believes Barack Obama was born somewhere outside the United States."

And Dave, lest you forget, I am quoting YOU with that line from you're own documentary bashing one of your own fans, not bashing gays myself. You're walking around at the sweater vest convention with a long flowing feminine mane and shaved face, talking about how you don't think Jesus wants gay's to be married. Here's an idea if those are your values: Man up and get up a haircut.

...My link to the Unforgiven was replaced by a link to this song, at least in my browser. I republished to make it go away. I wonder if it was a bug in Chrome...

Or the New World Order...

Either in junior high or my freshman year in highschool, "Rust in Peace" came out, and we metal heads loved it. This guy Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica for being too much of an asshole we heard, but he was on a mission to define his own sound, and it was fresh and new in terms of metal. But soon after, Metallica released its black album, with its signature massive hit video for "Unforgiven", featuring the old man in the stone room:


Good stuff, as far as metal is concerned. But Dave Mustaine couldn't continue in his own direction while Metallica was having its moment in the sun, and put out this metallica themed album:

Where he gave up his own direction tried to be a wanna be Metallica, and it sucked.

I bring it all up because its defined his life ever since. Hetfield and Ulrich of Metallica, both corn feed boys who have now become very rich, have in recent years expressed views on the conservative side of the spectrum... Which though a disappointment to liberal guys who-liked-metal-in-highschool like me, isn't much of a surprise when you look at who they really are. But the real clown show is when Dave Mustaine shows up and tries to outdo them, as he has done for years... Everybody who was ever into metal knows the show, and everybody... even now middle aged and balding like me, prays Dave Mustaine will just let what metallica did go, but he never does, even when outdoing metallica drive him into the waiting arms of Rick Santorum. Dave No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

but I broke my cassette player at a Bill Clinton Rally.

There was a test on a web site recently that had quotes from Westboro Church and Dave Mustaine. The test taker had to guess which one said the quote. The point of the test was that no one could possibly tell the difference. Mustaine lives in a bubble with pathetic hangers on and groupies with day jobs at the realty agency.

I saw them once in the '90s at a small club in Cleveland. I recall they have a great bass player. I think it was a five string, and he did things I've never seen.

he's a Born Again Christian, who became one through AA. Come on, we've heard this story before. We had one in the White House.

Of course he would give a statement to WorldNutDaily.

He's a raging homophobe too.

Go read his Wiki page if you're really bored.

Mustaine is a born-again Christian, I wonder why so many of them identify with birthers and teabaggers? Isn't Nugent a born-again Christian too? I have nothing against Christians, I love them for all the good they do ....... but these jerks made millions for years acting anything BUT Christian-like, they make me sick. And why are they so damb dumb now .......... who could believe that the State of Hawaii would publish Obama's birth certificate knowing he's someday be the POTUS? I don't understand them at all.
