| Spot the Violation. Nice work! I also would have accepted: Dave Mustaine. |
So apparently last night on ABC News, Megadeth front man, Dave Mustaine was featured on this obnoxious "news" segment called Beyond Belief where they talked about the effects of Satanism in modern Heavy Metal music. Apparently "Beyond Belief" is this part of ABC News where they will shamelessly approach "unexplainable" matters with delusional Bigfoot logic. In the interview, Mustaine talks about how gorgeous Satan is, (so gorgeous, he might even look like the news anchor), the sinister connotations of a power chord, how he used to be into witchcraft that "really worked", and of course Slayer keeps getting called a "death metal band".
If refusing to play with Rotting Christ wasn't enough to convince you how obnoxiously Christian Mustaine has become, this should probably give you a better idea. When asked about the devil, he claims "the greatest lie ever told is convincing people he doesn't exist." As well as saying "he could be in this room right now!" To which the news anchor who's name or face I don't give a shit about moistly replies with a whisper "... that's a scary thought." To ham up the spooky factor for the retards watching at home.
Mustaine says a lot of stupid shit during this interview, such as, but not limited to, "I think that I'm more dangerous now that I've become a Christian than I ever was before, when I was trying to go the opposite route, because I'm armed with the truth now." But that's not the worst of it, the icing on the cake is when he is asked "Are people right when they say that Heavy Metal music is infused with the power of the devil?"
Mustaine's response:
"In some cases, yes. But not in all cases, because you got great Heavy Metal bands that believe in God and glorify him. We pray every night before we go on stage."
Translation: If your metal band doesn't worship God and accept Jesus Christ as their savior, then you obviously worship Satan.
Special thanks to Jeff Berdel for bringing this to my attention.
What a shame. He was the hero of my childhood. Now that I'm a LOT more skeptic and proudly atheist, I just can feel sad and sorry on this shit.
ReplyDeleteFuck Dave, what the hell happened to you! You're not the puppet kind, you can't be fooled by those brainless preachers... Damn!

ReplyDeleteDamn... and I thought my opinion of Dave couldn't sink any lower...
ReplyDeleteNot because he's become a christian, but because he use his status as a famous metal musician to preach religion.
If he wants to be a christian, that's his business. I'm not complaining. I never really liked Dave to begin with.
But keep it out of the interviews and the music.
What the fucking hell is wrong with Dave. We pray every night before each show.. Goddamn you Dave
ReplyDeleteI almost can't believe this is the same guy that wrote the lyrics for Killing is my Business... Too bad I say, but fuck him for this treachery anyways, he deserves to rot in heaven with all the Mormons anyways.
ReplyDeleteAlways was always will be a douchebag.
ReplyDeleteDave Mustaine must be the Devil!
ReplyDeleteStupid cunt. "I'm armed with the truth now." Okay, so I'll bring my sword to this fight. You can fight me with your truth, and we'll see who loses his head first.
ReplyDeleteMegaDave should go back to doing heroine
ReplyDeleteDave, what the fuck is wrong with you? This world is so fucking lost now... I never heard so much stupid shit together in my life... Except for some BMTH
ReplyDeleteDon't know what to say here...
ReplyDeleteAmerican shit hedead shows ftw!. Ah, and there's the biggest whiner in the history of metal...
Is that video from 1993? I thought everyone was over this "Heavy Metal is Satanic" bullshit a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteDave MusTarded.
ReplyDeleteI think it is beyond hilarious that people out there (mainly those who work in media) still manage to get offended by satanism. Do they not realise that, whenever Satan(ism) appears in music it's either: a) infantile shock imagery related to satanism (Venom, Dimmu Borgir); b) used as a metaphor for something deeper that their superficial minds will never comprehend (Burzum, Peste Noire); c) bullshit LaVeyian hedonism that has absolutely nothing to do with the theistic concept of Satan (Blood Axis) or d) profound devil worshipping that is hard to take seriously (Gorgoroth).
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it's positive that metal can in some ways still be a clandestine force that offends people by going against the current, although the apologetic behaviour of Mustaine here is another indication of metal slowly but steadily moving towards the domain of Big Macs, mortgages and desk jobs.
Hahaha I really wouldn't be surprised if Mustaine was just trolling there. He just can't be serious, that's complete bullshit. The show executives thought it was a good idea to invite a "rockstar" (which isn't a good idea.) and that's what they got. I bet Mustaine had a laugh about it later.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, remembering of "Endgame" makes me wonder if that was all true... I mean... why would metal people criticize the UN in order to get peace?! Thrash metal bands criticize the government but they do so while "preaching" war...
Seriously, the fuck is wrong with that dude?
Sort answer: he's a Christian.
ReplyDeleteLong answer: he's a born again Christian.
@ondergrondserecensies I don't get how anyone can take satanism seriously at all in metal.
ReplyDeleteMy god, Mustaine is such a god damned joke.
ReplyDeleteIt's pathetic.
To Klaufi:
ReplyDeleteYou are ignorant. Ideology trumps the actual sword in all cases, throughout all of recorded history. Christianity is a prime example of that. The blood of thousands (at least) of martyrs is the water that nurtured the infant seeds of Christianity. I realize you were trying to be cute/smart/intelligent but instead you displayed how ignorant you are, and your total lack of comprehension for the larger picture.
Christians can't be killed by (literal) swords because we live forever even after the physical body is destroyed.
^ troll
ReplyDeleteDefine "troll." Apparently by your definition it is anyone with a mind of his/her own, who doesn't subscribe to, or conform to your "group think."
ReplyDeleteI suggest that, functioning with such obvious limitations, you call someone a "troll" to avoid the fact that you cannot counter their opinions with anything resembling a logical argument.
How pathetic.
@smart-ass-pants
ReplyDeleteFirst off your attitude is totally not metal... So what are you doing here?
Furtheremore, you are badlly informed: All those good christians who killed millions and destroyed cultural elements from wherever they passed didn't carry love and faith, but swords and royal crowns...
"relligion of the meek" my ass!..
As for the "live forever", until you can give me proof I'll redirect you to Mayhem's Life Eternal lyrics. I think Dead put it just to the point.
Smarty must be a die hard Dave fan.
ReplyDelete@smartypants
ReplyDeleteWell the reason you are a troll is because you just created your blogger account. The only blog you have commented on is this one. Your first comment is an insult to someone else, and you preach christianity knowing full well that no one will agree with you. You are only commenting to get a reaction from other people on this blog. In other words you are a troll. I could explain to you how all religions are false but, I would have to write a book on the subject and you most likely don't even believe in god.
@ Smartypants
ReplyDeleteFirst of all: lolwut?
Second: Your God is nothing. When a Christian dies, it goes to a so-called paradise with all the other weak souls that couldn't stand up for themselves and so bowed to a "supreme" god. Me? I prefer Valhalla, where all the Warriors go.
I saw one of these on NatGeo or something like that, in Italy some kids disappeared and they were pinning it on the "black underground of satanist metal friends" they hung out with. I didn't think this type of stereotypical garbage was still put out there.
ReplyDeleteJust another case of a guy who probably regrets all the partying and fucked up things he did in his life so goes coo-coo bananas over this stuff.
ughhh christianity ruins everything!!!
ReplyDeletei'm a christian, no body told me too, i also didn't become an atheist because other fools told me to just like thos many atheist poser sheeps out there that can't tell the difference between the ones who convince them that there is no god and the ones who do the oposite, i'm a christian metalhead, i like judas priest, sodom, kreator, nile, immortal, blind guardian, fleshgod apocalypse,so being a christian makes me less of a metalhead? fuck you, mustaine is an idiot, but he is no traitor to metal, he co created thrash and he never sold out like those armanica faggots.
ReplyDeleteI am confused? If Mustaine is a Christian he should not be in the mayhem tour. Bands like g**smack and All Shall Perish are clearly satanic. When a person gets saved, they are a new creature in Christ and turn from evil ways.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous said... "fuck you, mustaine is an idiot, but he is no traitor to metal, he co created thrash and he never sold out like those armanica faggots."
ReplyDeleteSomeone has never heard the Crush 'Em, Breadline, etc.
Dave Mustaine is just reiterating the garbage he was brainwashed with by Christian preachers. Too bad, I used to think he was one of us... You know, the few who don't believe in the BIG LIE ("GOD")but know the truth is science we are not yet capable to comprehend. Those who refuse to join the masses in a sleepwalk through life waiting to die for a better life rather than enjoying the here and now...Those who ignored the attempt of conformance through the teachings of fear of a higher power. I used to love Dave but now I just pity him and his waekness. It's too bad he had to turn on his metal brothers and sisters, he now spews the same nonsense he used to despise.
ReplyDeleteWow, this site just oozes "poseurs crying for attention."
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, anyone who just hates all Christians up front are poseurs that hate them because it's cool.
Here's a good profile of your typical Atheist: "It pisses me off that Christians are so closed-minded and self-righteous, but I think anyone that even considers the possibility of a god is a complete imbecile, and everyone except atheists are wrong." Funny, they also complain that Christians are hypocrites.
All annoyance with this stupid site said, I don't give a shit that Dave's Christian. Or, at least, I didn't until I found out he was homophobic. He's one of those scared-straight Christians that doesn't want to "fuck up and not get into Heaven" (his words).
Conclusion: Dave Mustaine is now lame, and this stupid site is lame. Quit labeling anyone that doesn't do what you want a "poseur". It's assholes like you guys that bring shame to metal.
Amen to the last comment. Dave was lost and now he isn't. God is real because Lucifer is real first of all. God created Lucifer to those who don't know that. God is stronger and does good. How is that not cool? Accept Dave even though he says whiny things sometimes and sounds dumb. He isn't the coolest guy, but he is smart as fuck and is a fine musician and songwriter. Singing could use some improvement. Peace to all of you. God bless. Sorry if u don't like that gesture.
ReplyDeleteYour translation is complete shit.
ReplyDeleteIf Dave became a Christian then good for him. It's really fucked up people talk shit about him because he's Christian. Real Christians believe in love and making the world better....although you people judge Christianity according to the evil that men committed in Christs name. Those evil posers are the worst kind of devils. To complement Dave....maybe another tool of satan is posing as a follower of Christ to commit his wicked deceptions
ReplyDelete@n.rigas - "your comment is not metal"- you are the one who isn't metal. Metal doesn't cater to such superficial babble as what you just displayed. Metal has never been about inclusion. Chances are, you come from a "rap" background, and fitting in is all you know. I'm so metal, I don't dress metal. Do you even know what metal is? It's quite diverse to claim such a thing as a comment isn't metal. You're an idiot. If you are in high school, you are excused for being an idiot. If you aren't, grow up.
ReplyDeleteThis site isn't even metal- it's obnoxious bullshit. Metal Storm is where you want to go.
ReplyDeleteI love the music that Megadeth makes(I mean, rust in peace is to me the greatest thrash album of all time,) but I really hate the people in the band. Sometimes I question my own sanity....
ReplyDeleteso he is a christian what's the problem anyway? just because he is a christian you will start whining about how stupid he is and how stupid the band is and that now you will not hear it anymore?
ReplyDeleteman it's is life not yours
if you would be real fans you wouldn't be there whining about this
besides i really think he wasn't even serious and if he was so what?
