Megadave recently jumped on stage with Metallica during their 30th Anniversary celebrations to jam some classic tracks, and it seems he loved it as much as we did.

Megadeth mainamn Dave Mustaine recently spoke to Powerline about playing live with Metallica at their recent 30th Anniversary celebrations. Check out some snippets from the chat below…

Powerline: It must have been a great feeling going up there onstage again with them.

Mustaine: I had some mood swings. There was some ups and downs and stuff. And, you know, got excited, and kind of got impatient, “Let’s go. I’m okay. Well, lets go!” and this kind of thing and that’s just the artist in me. I’m just squirrely like that.

Powerline: Playing some of those old Metallica songs — did you have favorites or are there still favorites now?

Mustaine: 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 at a club and playing like a club band. It was fun to take off all the rules and regulations and stuff and kind of shoot from the hip.

Powerline: I was surprised you didn’t play The Four Horsemen.

Mustaine: I think there’s a reason for that. I think I know why we didn’t play that song but I’m not going to go out on a limb on it. I think one of the things was because we recorded Mechanix and they recorded the other way, there’s not really a need to do that. There were several other songs that were really important.

Dave Mustaine jumped on stage during Metallica’s final 30th Anniversary show on Saturday night to perform three classic tracks, in what looked like an absolutely unbelievable and history-making night – which also featured Jason Newstead, Ozzy, Geezer Butler and more. Hole. E. Shit.
