The Flexible Truth of Dave Mustaine

[Juggz]

I haven't heard this one before and it contradicts a lot of what he said about Friedman in the past.

"Had Risk maybe not been recorded by Marty and recorded by somebody else, it could have been a different record. Probably the definitive straw that broke the camel's back was when Marty had a solo on a song called 'Breadline' and the label and management took it off and put a solo I had on there. And he freaked. That was it. It was sad. I love Marty. They (the label) didn't like his solo on 'Breadline'. I said 'There's three ways to do it: You either mute it, you have him come back, or I do it,' and they said, 'Well, he's not coming back, we're not paying for him to come back, and there needs to be a solo there, so you have to do it.' I said, 'I'll do it, but you have to tell him.' When we were listening to the final mixes, he's sitting there and he's totally excited, ready to listen to his solo on 'Breadline' because he loved that song and he loved the solo he did. It was a really beautiful solo, too, but it wasn't right. The solo went down and he heard my solo, and I looked over and he had tears going down his face. And I thought, 'You bastards. You didn't tell him.' And that was it. That was all it took for Marty. He quit. Although he stayed... on the outside, his body was there, but on the inside, his soul was gone."

"the label and management took it off and put a solo I had on there"  what a cunt!

I'd heard the story about the Breadline solo but it amazes me how the cunt deflects any blame and blames "management" It doesn't cut the mustard when you're the boss.

I'll cut anyone who badmouths Dave!
