Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Accuses President Obama Of Staging Recent Shootings
Megadeth frontman/guitarist Dave Mustaine went into a rant onstage in Singapore earlier this month in which he accused U.S. president Barack Obama of staging the recent shootings in Aurora, CO and Oak Creek, Wisconsin, among others.
According to Mustaine, the shootings are part of a plot in order for Obama to pass his “gun ban.” You can watch fan-filmed footage of the rant below, complete with bonus footage of a shoe being tossed at him.
Mustaine has become well-known in recent months for his conspiracy theories and right leaning rants.

Please stick to making music Dave.
No shit.
Sounds like somebody’s been hanging with The Nuge and contracted a nasty case of his Cat Scratch Fever. The kind that turns you into a prematurely senile Rockstar Republican. Scientists call it Syphilis.
Even the Nuge hasn’t said anything quite this stupid lately.
This Courtney Love looking mother fucker is an idiot! Impeach Mustaine from metal!
What a frigan clown. If you support this guy, or this band, please shoot yourself in the temple.
With power weapons?
Preferably.
Temple as is the location on your head or in a temple?
That’s for you to decide.
This guy is obviously back on drugs…
Obviously not, otherwise he’d be making better music.
I swear this guy is trolling us all.
Nah, he just happens to be a dangerous combination of conservative and ginger.
In other words, he has no soul x 2
this is what happens when you become celibate. it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I live in Milwaukee WI, which Oak Creek is a superb of, and I can assure you, there was nothing staged about that shooting.
I knew Dave is been getting pretty senile and crazy lately, but it takes a truly horribe person to say something that disgusting.
Don’t support Megadeth anymore, you shouldn’t have been anyway.
Wow, my post was loaded with mis-spellings and type-o’s, sorry. I’m so angry I can’t even proof read!!!
*has been getting pretty senile.
Damn, I forgot about how Obama enacted Fast & Furious when he was the President in 2006.
WOW!…..what a big DOPE!
Yeah his opinion on world events, etc. May not be worth a damn but not gonna swear off a guy that had a hand in Rust In Peace, Peace Sells, oh yeah a shitload of other great records too. Just be grateful the guy doesn’t blow up Twitter with his insanity, know what I’m sayin?
I’d much rather have the artists I like say shit like this on Twitter, which I can ignore, versus a show, which I might potentially be at.
Point taken
Peace sells but who’s buying your bullshit Dave? Not me………
Who throws a shoe? Honestly, you fight like a woman!
Shoe throwing is actually considered incredibly offensive in some cultures. Recall the Pres Bush shoe throw thing in Baghdad years ago?
WHO THROWS A CUPCAKE?
IDIOT. MAYBE WHY HE’S IN THAT SHITTY BAND INSTEAD OF METALLICA. MORON.
Megadeth is better than Metallica. Dave wins.
At no point ever is this statement correct. I’d take St. Anger over anything MD, and that’s based purely on music.
Damn, I must be wrong, you said so.
Who the hell invited David Draiman to The PRP?
Sorry. He said he was gonna be cool and just sit back and listen.
Fuck this dude and his band. I’ve always hated Megadeth, but this like this makes it even easier. What a clown.
Are all you above posters 16 ? Your posts obviously required no independent thought. It’s apparent that Mustaine is capable of critical thinking about issues that affect each of us and he doesn’t accept the “official story” to be factual. Our government is tyrannical and out to abolish the 2nd amendment.
While his comments and your childlike criticism of him are well within the !st amendment, those above are disturbing sheeple. WAKE UP !!!!

Damn, finally a post that makes sense. I haven’t come to conclusion on what I make of all this but I can see why Dave, as well as others, would make the connection. The government has staged far more disastrous situations for power. Our government is indeed out to torch our 2nd amendment rights and there’s no denying it. Anybody out there that doesn’t see that is blind.
Not sure if serious..
Danger. Danger. Danger. Sorry Dave.
Wow Stankeye, you’re a fucking idiot.
I gotta ask, what makes the current US gov “tyrannical”? And since when is “agreeing with others who disagree” sheepish?
OK, the answer to the second question is simple: “since teh internets”, but still, what makes them sheeple vs those who agree with the BS Mustaine is pulling? Or even better, how is Mustaine capable of critical thinking, but those who think he’s talking BS aren’t?
I mean, not accepting the “official story” can be a sign of independent/critical thought, a sign of extreme partisanism, a sign of sheepish behaviour (‘when in Rome…’), or even a sign of idiocy if the “official story” is 100% clear. And just like you might see independent/critical thought in Mustaine, and others following the herd, you could be seen as a sheep following Mustaine’s idiotic arguments and/or extremely anti-Democrat. And if you think “that second option is BS”, just keep in mind the first one could be, too.
Oh, and I’m still honestly wondering how the current US government is “tyrannical”.
People who listen to the bullshit that Alex Jones spews out of his mouth are the worst ones. They have absolutely no idea what is going on in the real world. They are the true sheep.
Hello Alex?

All the people in my school who believe in retarded conspiracies like Dave here get straight F’s, and they think by Getting straight F’s and listening to Five Finger Death Punch their Hardcore and fighting the “System”
I love how you morons think you’re the chosen few who actually understand what’s going on, as though you’re behind the curtain of some kind of Homeland-esque movement that’s taking shape. Really you’re no different than the Bigfoot hunters, the mediums, and the Raelians/Scientologists.
If Obama intends to strip us of our 2nd Amendment rights, then explain to me why he signed legislation that allows for licensed US citizens to carry firearms in our national parks for the first time in history. Yes, the only bill involving firearms that Obama signed during his first term actually loosened gun regulations.
It’s painfully obvious that Mustaine does not pay any attention to the bills that make their way through Congress. He wouldn’t recognize a piece of primary literature if it slapped him in the face and he wouldn’t know how to interpret empirical data even if he knew where to locate it, which I’m certain he doesn’t.
If we continue gutting our educational systems, I fear we will end up with an entire population of Dave Mustaines.
Thank you for posting this. Didn’t we hear these same kooks complain about Obama killing the 2nd Amendment 4 yrs ago.First in order to repeal any amendment it has to go through Congress, the GOP won’t allow that, not to mention neither will Dems because they own guns too. Even if it did pass 2/3 of the stares must ratify which we know will NEVER happen in the midwest and south. Did Dave ever think maybe it was just some crazy fucks that shot these people and there is no conspiracy? Again stick to music Dave, its a better fit.
I’m all for people having their own opinions, even crazy opinions. But there’s nothing more annoying than seeing celebrities’ opinions in print as if their opinion carries more weight than the common man.

You know what they say Mr. Balls, never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Isn’t it ironic that Mustaine is accusing Obama of staging the shooting and killing of innocent people with a gun in order to make a law to ban said guns, when, in reality, the law Mustaine is fighting for allows citizens to carry guns, which they can use to shoot and kill innocent people.
Extremism is a scary thing, from both the right and the left. Fuck politics, both sides. If anyone actually thinks that one single human being is in control of a nation of more than 300 million people, I question you. This shit sounds like the “Truth” morons saying Bush single-handedly planned 9/11. Bush sucked but even I didn’t believe any of that shit. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mustaine ends up shooting up some random people just like the maniac in Aurora. That’s what the shooting in Aurora consisted of, a fucking maniac with a gun.
Everyone knows it was Rove & Cheney who planned 9/11.
Actually, crazy talk like this will only help get Obama re-elected. It’s not like Middle America is going to read his quotes tomorrow and say, “wow, it’s all clear now!”
Dave’s been hanging out with Frankie and got a case of the verbal diarrhea. Romney much?
I knew someone would come out and say THIS. Exactly this, that Dems are doing shootings to strike fear and pass laws. But Mustaine being the one that said it surprised me. It doesn’t shock me that he DID say it, I just figured Glenn Beck would be the idiot to break that ice.
Your trolling us with an Alex Jones link? I boo you
looks like someone’s back on drugs, i do love megadeth still to this day so im going to take this as a positive because last time we saw dave paranoid and ranting it was because of cocaine but on the brighter side we did get Rust In Peace!!!!!
Hide yo bitches, fellas, cuz Diamond Jim is on da loose.
Remember when metal bands were known for doing cocaine, fucking strippers, and endorsing Satan? No? Really? Well I’ll just go back my South of Heaven and Angel Dust then and keep quiet.
Yeah, I do. And you’re point? I’m sure there are plenty of metal bands that still do all that shit (sans Satan), but they’re younger and aren’t as open about the shit as they were in the 80′s.
The point, or joke, being that there is a ton more news over a bands political views in today’s environment. It’s not so much that the band did a show and there was a riot, it’s now, a band did a show and a political debate broke out. I guess it’s the lack of danger that is sad to me. I now imagine Dave as some one who is more likely to hand you a pamphlet about voting Republican and less likely to give you a round-house to the face. I chose to read it so it’s my own damn fault for the buzz-kill.
Sometimes shit just happens. It’s called chaos. Deal with it. Believing that everything that happens has some kind of shadowy, world-controlling group behind it is being just as much a sheep as the people who disagree with you.
Oh, Dave. Dave Dave Dave.. what will you say next?
