Musician in question was not part of Megadeth as an effective member, but recorded one of the band’s latest records
What Dave Mustaine It is among the great guitarists in the history of metal, few disagree. When it comes to his personality, it is usually common to come across somewhat derogatory comments. After all, it would be the leader of Megadeth Really a “suitcase”?
With regard to the opinion of Chris Adlerno. The drummer was never an effective member of the band, but recorded the album Dystopia (2016) as a hired musician – and he rejects this impression that many have from Frontman.
Adler, who was part of the LAMB OF GOD For two decades (1999-2019), he talked about Mustaine and what he went to work with him in an interview with Scott Penfoldfrom the LOADED RADIO (via Blabberouth). Batera came out in defense of the former boss:
“Wow, man. It was a dream that came true. Everyone loves to imply Dave, and I’m sorry for him. He had a difficult childhood, I know his whole story. We spend a lot of time talking about things. And Dave is really … he’s a really cool guy. He’s problematic, but in a way that makes him one of the best in the world.”
In the same interview, Chris Adler developed a little more his point of view. The drummer mentioned that what many see as arrogance, or something, can be just a barrier created by Mustaine for “his own protection”:
“Because it is who he is and for the attention he receives anywhere he is, it is difficult to get into this intimate circle. But once in there, he is the most generous, cool and kind guy. He has a beautiful family. They are all wonderful people. I understand the defenses, the walls that are erected a little, just for his own protection, in fact. Maybe he could say different things here and there. Together, and I still consider him a friend.
Chris Adler indicated Megadeth’s starter drummer
The drummer said he started listening to Megadeth as a child and used to walk skate listening to cassette tapes. In one of them, he discovered the thrash metal band.
After recording the album DystopiaChris Adler indicated Dirk Verbeuren to assume the post of Megadeth drummer in full time. The musician was made in the band and continues to this day.
Dave Mustaine’s bad reputation
Mustaine himself has also commented on his negative fame. The guitarist, in a statement to Blabberouth (via Igor Miranda website), considers this a mere “opposition intrigue”:
“People always have something to say when they watch others with problems for some crazy reason. There are those who love you and want you to get along, just as there are those who, for any reason, do not want you to get along. We make us wonder: ‘What did I do for you? Are you so jealous?’ There are many people like that. You just need to learn to avoid them. “
