To give Dave some benefit of the doubt, I met him in mid-1995, and we have since found out that he was struggling with heroin and coke addiction big time. Also, two years prior to this, Megadeth were playing arenas, w/ names like White Zombie, Pantera, Suicidal Tendencies, Armored Saint, and Stone Temple Pilots opening for them. Now they needed Korn, Flotsam and Jetsam, and Fear Factory to help fill a club. Add to that, Korn was kicking their ass off the stage every night, and I think Dave was pretty well depressed. But, I've heard he was a dickhead to my friend that met him in 1992, in his supposed "heyday" Also, Friedman and Menza were assholes. The only cool one was Jr.
