![]() "But let's be honest, James is one of the best metal guitar players in the world."Īfter seeing the Mustaine interview circulate on Twitter, McGovney issued his own recollection, casting doubt on Mustaine's angle. "He just picked it up and started playing when I was in the band," he said. ![]() Mustaine, who added that he still communicates with Hetfield from time to time, then asserted that Hetfield "did not play guitar" before Metallica. "Why did I have to do everything when I was in the band? Why did they always ask me to talk to the promoters and collect the cash? Why was I the one who had to do the fighting? Why did I have to talk in between songs?" I am clearly the alpha male between the three of us," the Megadeth founder said. When interviewer Paul Elliott noted that Metallica cofounders James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich are both alpha personalities in their own right, Mustaine disagreed. Speaking with Classic Rock magazine in a new interview, Mustaine was asked about a passage in his 2010 autobiography where he described himself as "the leader" of Metallica before he left the band in 1983. Cofounding Metallica bassist Ron McGovney is questioning Dave Mustaine's claim that he was an "alpha male" in their former band's early days. ![]()
