A fan said that the musician did not found Metallica.
Dave Mustaine, frontman of Megadeth, is one of the most active artists on social media, especially on Twitter.
The musician always responds to questions, doubts, and comments from his fans whenever possible. This time, Mustaine replied to a fan who posted, "Dave didn't form Metallica. James and Lars did. However, he's a great musician."
In response, Mustaine claimed to be the co-founder of Metallica:
"So why do they call me a founding member? I think 'founding member' means something different in their alternate universe."
So, is Mustaine one of the founders of Metallica or not? According to the band's website, "Metallica, one of the biggest bands in the United States, was founded on October 28, 1981, when drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield joined forces after an advertisement in the newspaper placed by Ulrich."
So, they recruited Hetfield's friend and roommate, Ron McGovney, to play bass, Dave Mustaine to play guitar, and used the name Metallica, a suggestion from their friend Ron Quintana.”
And then?
why do they call me a founding member then? I guess “founding member” means something in your alternate universe. https://t.co/gIZZwH6aBB
