	I think this one is about Hetfield, who was the major cause of Mustaine being kicked of Metallica. I don't know whether he's a liar, but he certainly is a jerk...

	Oh poor Dave, got kicked out of Metallica for being a violent, drunken a$$hole. No, James Hetfield wasn't the major cause of Dave Mustaine getting booted out of Metallica; rather it was Mustaine's drug abuse, alcoholism, and violent temper that caused him to get the boot. James was actually heartbroken about Dave's necessary departure because their musical chemistry was very good and they were basically brothers but I guess that's gone to sh*t as of late since Dave is once again busy badmouthing them at every opportunity for showing him in a position where he might look halfway human in "Some Kind of Monster." And yes scorp, this song being about Chris Poland hocking Dave's equipment for dope is straight from the horse's mouth (Dave himself) and as such is likely the most accurate interpretation available.

No Picture Thomas Average	#4 by Thomas Reuter at Nov 6, 1985 at 12:39 AM EST
	I always heard James kicked Dave's dog and Dave punched him in the face and James just told him it was the last straw with his alcohol and drug abuse. Kicked him out and Dave was pissed so he started Megadeth so he could make a heavier, bigger and better band than Metallica. Anyways, here's a quote from Dave in 1992 about Chris [Poland]: "Chris Poland - you know what? - he could die tomorrow and it wouldn't affect me... Chris has never made amends to me for stealing all my gear. I had a collector's item Echoplex which just disappeared, all sorts of guitars, which were all stolen to cash in for heroin. I'm willing to forgive and forget, but until he comes and makes amends with me then I'm not willing to give in."
