THE BEAST

Fan-filmed footage of Dave Mustaine calling out a couple of drunk fans at a recent Megadeth show have gone viral on the Internet, as reported by Loudwire .

A fan who attended the band's gig in Stockholm, Sweden last Monday, July 31, shared a clip showing the frontman addressing the crowd, and threatening to kick out the disruptive fans.

Mustaine is seen pointing at the audience, flipping them off, and saying:

"You say you could play as good as me? Fucking I'd like to see... Shut up. Just shut up, you've had your 15 seconds."

He continued to ask silence from the fans, and then added:

"If I have to say it one more time, I'm gonna ask security to take your fucking drunken ass out of here, do you hear me? See, that's what happens when cousins fuck."

While it's unclear from the footage what the fans did to provoke Dave, someone commented under the video:

"They were being loud and obnoxious by interrupting Dave during one of his speeches, saying they wanted to go up and play with him... They were teenage boys with no shirts on who kept mosh pitting (nothing wrong with that) so I think Dave already noticed them but I do remember one of them screaming face to face at a girl close to me right before they spoke to Dave. I might be wrong here but it seemed like she got mad at him for pushing his way through and he tried to explain himself in a very rude way."

Mustaine recently shared his thoughts on the growing trend of artists having objects thrown at them from the audience, saying:

"If people don't like you, they're gonna throw shit. Maybe it's graduated from rotten tomatoes to dildos; I don't know.

"But if you're giving them a great show, they're not gonna do that — they're not gonna do that.

"So don't get up there acting like a spoiled fucking brat and telling them not to throw stuff.

"I don't have to worry about it. Plus my eyesight is that bad, I probably won't see anything flying through the air until it's too late."
