Dave Mustaine is more talented than Lars Ulrich
There the title says it all and I will stand behind it. Mustaine is more talented than that donkey, Lars Ulrich. Dave is also classier. He doesn't get caught up in being Mr. Hollywood or get his jollies by being in the latest club, Lars freaking desires it. And unlike Sucktallica, Megadeth has recently put out a fantastic album (United Abominations), and a rival box set (Warchest) to the Live Shit: Binge & Purge.
To further solidify this point, the March 2008 issue of Revolver magazine will feature Dave Mustaine in a piece called "Going Postal." This is where fans ask their favorite musicians questions. This report is according to The Metal Report. A few questions are below:
Revolver: How do you feel when fans say Megadeth's best lineup was you with drummer Nick Menza, guitarist Marty Friedman, and bassist David Ellefson?
Mustaine: Well, they're entitled to their opinion, totally, and if they're talking from a music point of view, that's understandable, because there's only been one record so far with the new lineup. But what they have to realize is that I sang almost every single note of Marty Friedman's guitar solos, and I wrote the majority of Nick's drum parts, and I wrote almost every bass note that Ellefson played. It's just a matter of these guys getting into the groove.
Revolver: How is it between you and Metallica's Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield since shooting "Some Kind of Monster"?
Mustaine: How's what? I have no idea what you're talking about. You mean as friends? Nothing. I haven't said one syllable to them. I think it's probably pretty disappointing, all of this. We have the same demons. We suffer from bullshit, and you don't talk to somebody. It's fine. And there's enough people in the world that are tired of this story, me included. God, it's how many years old? 30 years old?
Revolver: [Swedish cult black metal act] Dissection had to be canceled from Israel's 2005 Metalist fest because you don't play with Satanic bands. Do you still refuse to play with any band that has even a smidgen of Satanism?
Mustaine: First, Dissection didn't have to be canceled. I made clear to my agent that I won't play with Satanic bands, and the promoter booked the band without checking with the agent. Because I'm a legend, I don't need to play with people who have gone on record and said they're an enemy of mine. Because I believe in God and he believes in Satan, that means we're enemies, right? It doesn't mean I can't pray for the guy; it just means he doesn't like me and he said so. And I told them that I was stepping off the bill. I never said to cancel those guys. Second, the guy [Dissection frontman Jon Nödveidt] threatened me in France. I have two first-degree black belts and I was just awarded a fourth-degree black belt from the World Taekwondo Federation. If the guy wants to threaten me, bring it. I went, he wasn't there. I try really, really hard to live my life peacefully, and this guy went on record saying he was my enemy. You know what? Something happened to him. He committed suicide, didn't he? Oh, bummer.
Quick note on Jon Nödveidt, the man was convicted of felony murder of a 38-year old homosexual Algerian named Josef Ben Meddour in 1997 and was released in 2004. On August 16, 2006, he was found dead in his apartment outside of Stockholm. His cause of death was an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and his body was found inside a circle of lit candles.

yep, I'd rather shoot myself after lighting my mother's whole candle collection than to take an ass-beating at the hands of Mustaine.
