Dave Mustaine's comments and actions over the last 2 decades have disgusted me to the point that I can't even enjoy Megadeth anymore. I've tried repeatedly to separate the art from the artist, but he seems determined to make that impossible.

I still think they're a great band but the music has been tainted by all of his toxic behavior, then the bass player turned out to be some kind of pedo, it's just too much

Man can’t listen to nothing!

No but seriously a quick search would have led me to not posting Megadeth. Then again every day is a new reminder that we’re all human and no amount of money, power or fame can make up for the darkness within.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concerns, at the very least you won’t see another Megadeth post from me as I try not to post the same artist multiple times.

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to tell anyone they shouldn't listen to Megadeth! They are one of the greatest thrash metal bands that has ever existed! I'm just saying I personally can't deal with the drama that being a Megadeth fan entails anymore lol

Cmon man, Kick the Chair, Hangar 18, and the sheer Bleak Mind-Bending Jazz Plot that is Blackmail the Universe have proven time and time again, that some really really shitty people are capable of some really really amazing things.

Don't pay a dime. Stream/download these tracks as you did when you were first introduced to them, but never never hate the Art.

I agree. For this reason I try to remain ignorant of the actions of artists but when evidence is provided it’s hard for me to look at it the same.

Youthanasia is my favourite album. Great song.

I'd just class it as Thrash Metal as they were 1 of the big 4 thrash bands.

For whatever reason it was my understanding that this community asked for country of origin. Saves me the trouble moving forward.

This is highly unnecessary hypergenre-fication.

You sure know how to make a body feel special, it’s been a minute since someone has dedicated a song straight to me. It’s a good track but maybe you ought to post it to the community for the rest to see.

No worries just trying to encourage people to post in communities so the fediverse stays alive. Maybe another time you’ll feel more inspired to contribute.

My favorite communities are already dead. I don't even know why I'm here.

Cheers to that mate.

Make the best of it, make the worst of it or at least make it interesting.
