Earlier today, MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine took to Twitter to call out Metal Blade CEO Brian Slagel for what Dave pegs is an inaccuracy in Slagel‘s new book on the history of Metal Blade Records, For The Sake of Heaviness.
Slagel quickly apologized, said maybe he misremembered and Mustaine accepted the apology. Then, SIX FEET UNDER and former CANNIBAL CORPSE frontman Chris Barnes tweeted in response to Mustaine‘s comments, calling MEGADETH frontman “a fucking asshole”:
[metalwani_content_ad]You sir are a FUCKING ASSHOLE.

Then Dave Mustaine responded:

And Barnes responded as well:
Yeah I guess so.. But you’re the King of the assholes, enjoy your throne. https://t.co/S1c3w6A4oL

[metalwani_content_ad]I think he’s trying to protect Brian, but completely failed. Ignobility ruined his message. Now he looks like trash and that’s sad. ? https://t.co/WIopGefdeR

Chris what would you do if someone wrote something false about your band? Not that anyone would. Would you speak up or would you do nothing? https://t.co/Tgo2VH1OGK
