R.I.P. Megadeth

Yupp, it's sad bla bla bla, but it's what I really feel about Megadeth to be honest. People, including myself at times, have been mocking on Metallica for selling out and Lars being an asshole etc etc, but honestly. Right now I give more respect to Metallica than Megadeth, or rather Dave Mustaine directly. To me, Metallica has done three bad albums which (not too unexpected I suppose) are Load, Reload and especially St. Anger. Megadeth has done 2,5 bad albums to me (Risk, half of Cryptic Writings and now Thirteen). But it's not really the albums that do it all for me. When I watched the Big 4 live last summer, Metallica were very good I thought, but Megadeth. It's like three guys and a fucking smurf on vocals! Dave Mustaine CAN'T sing for fucking shit anymore! To me, especially after their latest album "Thirteen", I would just want my old idols to call it quits.

I have also thought a lot about Dave Mustaine and his statements lately. He's confirmed that he's - new born, - a republican / conservative, etc. He also stated that "they take God out of school to dumb us down" or something. That kinda pissed me off because I ain't a believer, not very deeply at least and I don't even know whar religion that would be either, but I do have respect for peoples beliefs in both religion and politics. But Dave speaks out like a fucking moron, in my opinion. Like he knows best, like he IS right, etc. Well, I had a fucking horrible time back in school with religion. I hated it, but am I dumb just because I didn't take it in? Am I dumb because I don't trust my fate to some (to me) imaginary character? Am I dumb because I realize that only I can get myself a job, earn money, be able to eat, etc etc, and not get all that from nowhere, sent by God or whoever? In my ways religion, to me, can be both good and bad. Good in ways like it gives people hope and such, but bad in ways that some people are too weak to face reality on their own, trusting their whole life to God. That can't be healthy. But enough of this now...

Dave's political views have also angered me. Sure, be a republican, conservative, democrat, anarchist, whatever, I respect that. But at the same time, I can't always fully do it. He said something about America turning "too socialist" or something. I don't say be socialist, but isn't it fucking GOOD that kids up to 18 years old can be able to get free medical treatment? I think that is a logical thing in society, but Dave probably thinks it's shit and is too cheap to pay a few more dollars so kids can get free medical care. Stuff like that pisses me off. That also shows that he, for instance, doesn't give a shit about his fans being able to get medical either.

And now finally, the last thing that set me off about all this. The lyrics of "Whose Life (Is This Anyways?)". Dave sings "you hate the way I wear my clothes, you hate my friends and where we go" (or something like that at least). Come on!! A guy who is 50-years-old, is a multi millionair (at least) and dresses very ordinary and normal, sings shit like THAT? Me and my buddies used to be like that when we were like FIFTEEN. He's FIFTY, come on! The guy doesn't have a fucking right to sing something like that when he wears clothes as normally as can be! All this stuff makes me wonder what the fuck's happened to this guy.

I used to listen to PEACE SELLS and think that he, out of all hair metal bands, came with something important in his lyrics. I used to say "Dave Mustaine for president!" along with my buddies. He was clever and really got us with him. Now the only thing we say is "Thank god Dave Mustaine ain't president."

Sorry Dave, but to me, you and your band are done. R.I.P. Megadeth, one of the greatest bands to rock this world.
