    My nephew makes a good living playing drums out his studio for several bands. He never has to tour, he just plays on their albums. He gets paid upfront for his work and in most cases has a deal to make some royalties.

    Agreed Metal Pilgrim, people/reporters should stop asking Dave Mustaine about Metallica. He has only been in this other group called Megadeth since 1984 and has had 40 years of output that deserves commentary. Stupid reporters love drama I guess.

    Unpopular opinion: Gary Holt is better in Exodus. All of these "reunions" that Slayer is having despite claiming to retire 6 years ago, is actually hurting Exodus and Slayer isn't doing anything worthwhile and has not been since 1988 or 1990 if we are being generous.

    No drummer is safe in 2025? Only because a band cannot manage their non-sense; I've been drumming for 25 years and still get paid offers all of the time. And then I find out they are only half-serious…😢

    More proof that all drummers sound alike. Not one has a definable sounds of his own. I think if you took the roster at Donington and slid the drummers down one so that every band plays with the drummer from the next band no one would notice. Also, if Mustaine wasn't taking credit for Metallica's entire career there would be an imbalance in The Force. Nothing Dave can do will ever get him fame like Metallica, and his jealousy is his overcoat

    Since Iron Maiden kindly asked their fans to refrain from recording videos during their shows, I think it would be better if you didn't share in your channel any footage taken by fans in this tour. It would be a way to honour their wishes.

    Mustaine endlessly sh*t talking Metallica has gotten so stale that any appreciation or stock fans have left for Megadeth only evaporates that much quicker.👎
