Friday Top 10: Heavy metal soap operas
Heavy metal. The genre which you’d think that uses fists and bad ass guitar show-offs to settle differences. Well, no luck there. Especially with the rise of the internet, following certain events makes you want to grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy your daily dose of soap. Therefore, this week’s Top 10: Heavy metal soap operas.
Make the jump to read the Top 10.
Mustaine 2.0
Say what you will about Phil Anselmo‘s past, but the guy is man enough to admit what he did wrong. Which brings me to Dave Mustaine. I always thought he always blamed the press for some of the things he said, they may misquote and exaggerate, but some words were generally his and no one ever turned “I love Metallica and Slayer” into “I hate Metallica and Slayer!“ — right?
Well, the new Dave admits he was wrong to do some of the things he used to do and I personally applaud him for that.
“I think a lot of it was contingent on me, because I was going through a lot of personal stuff that really put an unnecessary wall between all of us. A lot of it has been publicized, a lot of it wasn’t. Most of it was the much heralded and worn stories of drugs and alcoholism“ says Dave about The Big Four concerts.

So I’m thinking… Yeah, Dave makes sense and I agree. Then I read this.
“But there was also the other side — the black magic and witchcraft I had gotten into when I was a kid. Fortunately, I’m saved now so I don’t have to deal with that. But God, man, I was going through so much turmoil from what I had done. And it it’s just the consequences of poor choices. People would go, “Man, he has the worst luck in the world.” No, not really. I had practiced black magic and was friends with Satan, so those things kind of happen when you make bad choices.“
Wait… What??
Argh…
Dave doesn’t like being called a ‘lady’
Jimmy Kimmel sent some Mexican guy to the Grammys and the joke was “a rose for the lady” being said over and over again while that dude was handing out roses. Hilarious, right? Indeed, original too. Genius.
Anyway, the dude went to Dave Mustaine with the same great joke and Dave was not amused. Dave‘s response? “Fuck you! Go away!” then he shoved that guy and threw the rose at the camera.
I can’t say I blame him. He’s there representing metal. You can’t do that to the guy who co-founded two of the Big Four. But Dave, you could have handled it a bit better. Like, I don’t know, saying “Thank you” then headbutting him in his mustache? The possibilities are endless. Aren’t you trained in karate? How about a roundhouse kick?

Dave is gonna be busy this summer
After news broke that The Big Four would only do one U.S. show, many gullible hopeful fans were expecting more dates to be added. Well, maybe this news will make them reconsider, as Dave and co. will be busy this summer with their own tour.
“Disturbed and Godsmack are rumored to be topping the bill on this summer’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour, which is expected to kick off sometime in July. Also scheduled to appear are Megadeth, Machine Head, In Flames, Suicide Silence and Unearth, among others.“ writes Blabbermouth. Full details tomorrow, January 26th.

Tough luck, guys. Seems like Megadeth is busy touring with Disturbed and Godsmack… Who cares about Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax, right? Maybe you get lucky and Sully Erna performs some of his amazing solo stuff, too. Fingers crossed!
