From Huffington Post:
"Back in my country, my president," Mustaine begins and then pretends to gag himself with his finger, "is trying to pass a gun ban so he's staging all of these murders. The 'Fast and Furious' thing down at the border. And Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now, the beautiful people at the Sikh temple."
Dave Mustaine, founder and lead singer of Megadeth, has always been the annoying little brother of metal. Not going into the myriad conspiracy theories about why he washed out of Metallica, Megadeth and Mustaine were always the "also-ran" of metal's late eighties/early nineties heyday. Constantly trying to grab attention with their mediocre music with shocking images emblazoned on T-shirts sported by wannabe metalheads who just never really got it.
Now in the age of metal irrelevence, Mustaine has jumped on a new track: whoring for the evil right wing in politics. While ted nugent has been at this game for years, and admittedly, makes a convincing little conservative spoiled-brat, Mustaine pops up to say something like the above passage as more of a stunt. I am sure he honestly believes he is part of the wingnut machine, but instead of tagging along with Metallica, Slayer, and other real metal bands now he is a phony begging for attention from the fox news crowd.
Watch the video, and tell me what you think.
The quote starts at 2:38. Not to tell you what to think, but what kind of man really believes this shit?
