Interview with Dave Mustaine after Debut Show (1984)

Historic interview with Dave Mustaine conducted immediately after Megadeth's first two shows (February 17 and 19, 1984). Mustaine discusses the experience, noting that the second night was much smoother than the first [00:00:57]. He expresses a strong sense of rivalry with his former band, Metallica, mentioning the crowd chanted 'Kirk Hammett sucks' and 'Megadeth' [00:00:40], and declares: 'we killed Metallica' in the Bay Area [00:06:07]. He also mentions that Kerry King (of Slayer) played guitar at the shows but questions his dedication. Finally, he details the setlist from the first shows, including titles like 'Burnt Offering', 'Love to Death' (about killing his girlfriend), 'The Next Victim', and the instrumental 'Quicksand' [00:03:37 - 00:05:34].
