If you like it or not, sensationalism is a true artform. I’m pretty sure Dave Mustaine doesn’t actually believe in fairies but it’s just fair to assume that he does because of some of the stuff he believes in.
ABC (the television network, not the alphabet itself) recently interviewed Mustaine for its “Primetime Nightline: Beyond Belief” “Battle With The Devil” special, that apparently aired earlier today. In it, Megadave talked a bit about his past with witchcraft. So I’m just going to copy and paste from Blabbermouth (because that’s what metal blogs do):
On how he, as a teenager, cast two hexes, including one on a bully who suckerpunched him:
Mustaine: “From what I heard, he got in a car accident and something happened to a part of his body that I had targeted in a hex, and that showed me that it was real.”
On his second hex, which was on a girl he was in a class with:
Mustaine: “Everybody wanted her, including me, but she was so out of my batting average and just totally out of my league. And I did it, and the next day she was in my apartment.
“I was [convinced that these hexes, or spells, that I was casting worked]. And I do believe in the dark side. Most people think that black magic and witchcraft and stuff like that isn’t real or it doesn’t work. And I know that it works.”
More here.
This guy is 49 years old and honestly believes that? I’m 25 and I don’t. He’s a millionaire and I can hardly afford the keyboard I’m typing this on. Heh, I guess he won either way.
