The Joe Rogan experience. I mean you were successful pretty early on in your
life
Like how old were you when you were in your first band?
Panic was the band before Metallica and and that was only for a short period of
time
And I was 20 when I was in Metallica, so I probably started when I was around
maybe
17 18 but just think of that just that statement I was 20 when I was in Metallica
I mean
Yeah, fuck you all
That is crazy. I was 20 when I was in Metallica
That is a crazy statement because if you just think about the average 20 year
olds life and
that and
That this is look at you guys little babies. Yeah, so cute. That's amazing
Does that freak you out when you look at that? No, it doesn't
It kind of brings me a little bit of some sadness because of the way it went
down with you guys
Oh, I don't care about that. I'm because cliff. Oh
yeah, yeah
when you
left
Metallica and
Then when did you go right into Megadeth or did you other what did you do right
after Metallica? I?
I think in my mind I went right into Megadeth but
At the time I was still kind of trying to you know
Digest everything that took place
Well, you're still only 20. Yeah, yeah
The thing that bothered me the most was I had all my music and I left it behind
and I said don't use my music and of course they did
Oh really? Yeah, they used it on the first record on the second record
There's parts of my music on a song on the third record all the solos on the
first record are mine except that they're just performed by Kirk and
Close but not the same
He's not a bad guitar player. Did you get royalties for that?
Well, most of them. Yeah, but Kirk got my royalties for Metal Militia for many
many years
And you know, he has to see the check so I know somebody saw that I wasn't
getting paid
So there's a sadness and bitterness not bitterness
I'm over a little upset, you know my it's just money, you know, like you said,
you know at the end of the day
You know, I'm my happiness in my family my wife and my children are more
important to me than than anything in this world and and
you know, I love our fans
I have so many things in this life that I'm happy about but man, it's it's
it's my family and and
Obviously my relationship with God I I take that very very personal and you
know, I don't talk to people about it
I don't I don't push it on them at all. It's my thing and and I just look at it
like where I'm at right now
Yeah, 20 in Metallica and now look at me. I'm 60 in Megadeth and
I'm a Grammy winner. I'm a New York Times best-selling author all these things
that if if you know
I was signing autographs the other day Joe and and I had these boxes
There was 3000 jackets I had to sign and for a moment
I flashed back to elementary school when I was in front of the chalkboard. I
swear to God and I had to write
Did you ever have to do that? Yeah, sure
God and I don't know what brought that up but I thought oh my god, I can't even
believe that and and thinking about you know
where I'm at now today and and and you're just how
The slightest deviation from where I was going could have ended me up anywhere
else in the world
