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.

I really liked that last In Flames album. Best one they've done in a long time, IMO.

Couldn't agree more about asking Dave Mustaine about Metallica is just plain insulting. Like Megadeth never happened.

Megadeth music is good, Dave Mustaine is just a tool

The day Dave Mustaine stops talking about Metallica is the day people stop talking to Dave Mustaine.

Nah. It's fun to hear Mustaine talk about Metallica 😁

Don't be too hard in Dave or he'll cry like a girl on camera again.

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…😢

You got to say Dave mustaine is normally right about music and music players

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.

I gotta say, I miss Pasi in Amorphis. His vocals were pretty cool.

Mustaine's STILL pissed off that he got fired from the band,40 years ago…but,I bet that he's never had a problem with all of the royalties that he STILL gets.

what's happening with drummers is it's easier to use a drum machine then hire a tour drummer!!!!!!

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.👎
