In a new interview with Guitar World, Dave Mustaine has again surfaced past claims that Metallica is intimidated by the musical prowess of Megadeth and that is the reason the two bands haven’t toured together. Dave was also asked about the competition between the two bands, the drama that exists from fans, his vast influence over the music of Metallica, and the notion that Metallica discredited Dave and his playing, especially after he was fired from the band 41 years ago. Megadeth has an over 38-year long career and released their excellent album The Sick… The Dying, And The Dead in 2022 via Universal Music Group.
