Dave Mustaine has blasted
CNN for not getting its "facts right" by claiming the
MEGADETH mainman "still holds a grudge against"
METALLICA 30 years after being kicked out of the group.
CNN posted an article on January 4 about
Mustaine's online rant against
Men's Wearhouse, with the writer ending his piece by stating: "Despite his own superstar status,
Mustaine still holds a grudge against the more successful
METALLICA."
In a tweet earlier today,
Mustaine reacted to the
CNN story by writing: "Get yer facts right @CNN! I don't still have a grudge w/Metallica, but I do w/you now. Guess ya missed the Big 4 tour?"
Mustaine joined his former
METALLICA bandmates on stage on December 10, 2011 for the fourth and final intimate show at the Fillmore in San Francisco as part of the group's week-long celebration of its 30th anniversary as a band for fan club members only.
Mustaine, who was one of the original members of
METALLICA, was fired from the band by drummer
Lars Ulrich in 1983. He was replaced by
Kirk Hammett and went on to form
MEGADETH and achieve worldwide success on his own.
