Dave Mustaine Reveals His Favorite Song by Metallica

For the next month leading up to the Big Four show at Yankee Stadium on September 14, Guitar World and Revolver are teaming up to bring you exclusive Big Four content every day for four weeks -- the "Big Four Weeks," if you will. For the first two weeks, Revolver will be rolling out portions of their roundtable discussion with the members of the Big Four every day.

During the making of their Big Four special issue (buy here), Revolver asked members of the Big Four to name their favorite songs by the other bands. When asked about his favorite Metallica song, Megadeth mainman Dave Mustain began by saying:

"I had to do a lot of coming to terms with myself in order to listen to Metallica. Before, whenever I heard them, it triggered me in my mind to get up on my soapbox and spit out complaints of what had happened to me. And then once I finally realized, Dave, you’re lucky, you’re blessed, you’re in a great band, you’re in another great band. I finally just said, ‘You’re missing it.’"

So what's Dave's favorite Metallica song? We'll give you a hint: it's off the "Black Album." Click here to find out!
