Dave Mustaine Experienced Mood-Swings When Playing With Metallica

Megadeth star Dave Mustaine has opened up about playing with his old band Metallica, saying that he went through a number of mood-swings and ‘ups-and-downs’ during the 30th year anniversary show.

Mustaine joined the metal superstars at a show in San Francisco on Saturday December 10th for the first time in 30 years, and went through periods of feeling on top of the world – but also negative feelings. Luckily though, the show was a massive success and he lived to tell the tale.

“I had some mood swings,” Mustaine explained to Powerline. “There were some ups and downs and stuff. And, you know, got excited, and kind of got impatient. 'Let's go. I'm OK. Well, let's go!' and this kind of thing and that's just the artist in me. I'm just squirrely like that.”

He continued: “You know, it felt fun to play them. I wish I would have had a little bit more opportunity to get prepared with the band. You know, because I'm a perfectionist.

“I would have liked to have had my sound just so and make sure when I did the solos they would jump up the volume and stuff like that that I'm used to, but we were at a club and playing like a club band. It was fun to take off the rules and regulations and stuff and kind of shoot from the hip.”
