Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Claims He Healed A Fan Suffering From Cancer

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine has hinted that he prolonged the life of a cancer-stricken fan by touching him and praying.

The guitarist told Spin that one of his most treasured possessions was a certificate given to him by the fan, that had been signed by the governor of Kentucky.

Mustaine, who formed a new band called Red Lamb with ex-Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz earlier this year, said:

"I met a fan in Kentucky who had throat cancer. He was only supposed to live a few weeks. For some reason, I reached out, grabbed his throat, and started praying for the dude. He lives long enough to give me [the certificate] on our next tour."

Mustaine went on to vouch for the legitimacy of the certificate, adding: "It's signed by the governor and says I'm an honorary Kentucky Colonel. As far as I know, it's the real deal."

The former Metallica man is renowned for his spiritual views and has been famed in the past for his refusal to share festival bills with Satanic bands in the past. In 2007, he told Metalundeground.com: "I've never believed in singing about Satan and thinking he's cool, because he's not."

Earlier this year, the frontman hit out at bands who give away their music for free on the internet, labelling them as "careless" and "stupid".

On October 31, meanwhile, Megadeth released their 13th studio album, "Th1rt3en", which is the follow-up to their 2009 effort "Endgame".

Thanks for the report to NME.com.

Lmao no way... XD

AW FOR FUCK SAKE!!!

How has he gone mad and how is it a load of balls just because he is christian??

sorry to tell you.. but... rubbing cancer doesn't kill it.

I know that might come as a bit of a shock, give it a while to settle in though.

no because he is claiming (indirectly) that his actions prolonged the life of another being.

So next time you wind up in court for nearly choking someone to death, just tell the judge you were praying real hard to cure that person's cancer.

Next will be a christian album and we will never hear of him again. Unless you go to church, and I don't.

[Tarsplitter]

Funny how they refer to him as "the former Metallica man".

[Megadeth2011]

I was backstage at the show with him when all this went down.... Basically, it was Gigantour 3, in Louisville Gardens, in Louisville, KY, and this kid said that he had throat cancer, and had gotten to go backstage for free with the Make A Wish Foundation. He said that the doctors had given him 3 months or so to live. He was a really cool dude... Anyway, Dave reached out, touched his throat and asked God to help the child and heal him. God works miracles though... that was 2008, I believe. Maybe 2009. This is a misleading title though... Dave never said he cured the kid from cancer. He said he prayed for him and touched his throat.

[Clayden82]

Sorry but this sort of thing has been observed several times, people have had incurable diseases and been healed by Christians praying for them as medical experts are left with no explaination, and this is an undeniable fact. Dave Mustaine is a Christian and he's only doing what other Christians have been observed to do

[PBiddy]

He DIDN'T say he healed the guy! I still think he's an arse but this is SH*T

Exactly, it's just rhetoric to make him look bad. He never claimed to have healed him.

[indyrock91]

Where's the part where he claimed to heal him? I don't see it. I just see a story about him praying for a cancer-stricken guy. misleading title

[Dizeaz2112]

Figured there'd be some teenage angst up in here over religion. Dave's not "mad" for praying for someone to not die of cancer. He's human. He didn't say something to the effect of "I'm the next Jesus Christ. I healed this guy." He just said he prayed for the guy and he lived. I think it's great that he would care enough about someone he's never even met before and sit down to pray for them. Very touching stuff.

Also, the title is a little misleading, true to UG form. Kinda begs for trouble, really.

[jurnag12]

So where exactly does it say that he claims he cured a guy?
He just prayed for him, and the kid either recovered or his cancer went into remission.

I should point out that the number of people who still died far outnumbers the amount who recovered.

Aren't all religions essentially the same though? I don't think it would work for any of them, whether you asked Allah, Budda, or Jesus. I'm not ruling out that praying hard for someone could save their life - it just seems unlikely.

I agree 100%. I'm just saying that the guy was accusing us of calling Mustaine delusional because he's a Christian, but really if he was any religion it'd be the same thing, so why point out the fact that he's of that faith? It was more of a sarcastic statement. =P

The people who die are obviously non believers or havent been prayed for by Christians. Thats not to say that every Christian who has had a disease has been healed because that's not the case. But the fact is that unexplained healing by prayer has been observed all over the world and it's only within the Christian faith that this sort of thing has happened

There are no recorded cases of unexplained healing in any other religion and in the Christian faith there are several. Just like in the Bible

[Chevymeister]

He should make a black gospel band.

[jetfuel495]

Okay, forget about all the religious antics for a moment.

How in the hell is Dave gonna criticize other bands for giving away their music for free?

Come on, man. I used to be a huge fan. But it seems every time there's another article about you, I lose a little more respect.

[doomsdayscottie]

Dave Mustaine's Metal factor combined with channeling God (A.K.A. Lemmy) healed the fan.

HEAVY METAL \m/ !!!!

This is why you never read up about the douchebags that make the music you like. Sometimes you're better off just not knowing.

No it hasn't.It is alternative medicine, and alternative medicine is alternative because it has either been not proven to work, or has been proven not to work. You know what they call alternative medicine that has been proved to work? Medicine.

If you really, REALLY believe that kissing Mustaine's ass will cure your cancer... it probably will.

This.

And I've noticed that as well with these articles as well. The title draws you in with some absurd statement, and you just end up being disappointed by the article because it's not what you're expecting.

[nincompoop]

Heh, I guess years upon years of copious amounts of every kind of drug known to man, including speed balls which kill most people that do them (I've known people who have) will finally get to a man's head.

It's nice that he's happy and everything, but he's obviously got a screw loose. :/

[Nameless742]

I was raised Catholic but I have a logically programmed mind. The fact that devoted christians pray fruitlessly everyday gives me doubts as to whether DAVE MUSTAINE of MEGADETH can just heal a man on the go.
Dave seems like a bit of a tit too me, but I like his music nonetheless.

[hansklaus]

Yeah 4 sure,he´s like Jesus just with a guitar XD
I said it once and I say it now again:

bullshit.. studies like those have been done with numerous religions and none of them magically cure anybody.. they do help recover a bit faster from a non mortal illness but that can be attributed to the patients mood knowing the support he's receiving.

[Plan009]

I... I got nothing to say that hasn't already been said itself... The guy is friggin whacked...

So it turns out that there'e something in Dave's DNA that kills cancer cells. It would seem that years of drug abuse has finaly paid off XD

"I've never believed in singing about Satan and thinking he's cool, because he's not."

He also doesn't exist, Dave. But on the scale of cool mythical beings he's not that cool, yup. I've always liked Venom from Spider-Man, he was cool.

[kafirr]

I rrrrreally hope this is a troll. omg, please be a troll.

[nboyjn]

hes not claiming that he healed the kid. he said he prayed for him, and he lived longer than he was supposed to. the truth wasnt stretched, he was just stating what happened. he never said "im a god" or "i cured this kid". that being said, did UG have to write "former metallica man"? =_=

[Asterix_13]

[)v(egaFan90]

The people this site hires don't know how to title their damn articles! Nowhere has Dave claimed he cured someone by touching their throat. He said he put his hand on his throat and the cancer has not yet killed him.

The only reason I can see that these awful and misleading titles are used is to get lots of views.

if this were the case jesus is one sick piece of shit who gets off on the suffering of people.

He never said he did it, I'm sure if you ask him and don't chop out the context he's saying that God healed him. Goodness people...

Oh Dave.. how I love what you do to a guitar and hate what you do with your mouth.

[JohnVanOevelen]

I bet the fan was on a drug..

It's called Dave Mustaine!

[5MinutesAlone]

Those 'Born again Christian' faiths tend to make you a lil over enthusiastic about Jesus. If he wanted spiritual enlightenment he could just have bought a Bible read the whole thing by himself and interpret GOD the way he sees it. Instead he is letting those people brain wash him.

[MatasTeen]

Am I seriously the only one who wishes for more actual news about bands that are very active in the rock/metal scene now? Seriously, there are so many bands out there that go by overlooked because most people here are too narrow minded to acknowledge them. Now you people wait days after days for news and if it isn't about Slash's new pile of shit it's about Mustaine, or Courtney Love. Completely irrelevant to actual news and makes hoping for actually good articles pointless.

I would totally lie to the Make a Wish foundation that I had terminal throat cancer to get a free backstage pass to a Megadeth concert, just sayin....

I think psychology can explain this. Did you know that some people can be healed just by telling them that they have been given some super-effective medicine? Faith can actually heal.

Unfortunately I was a fan as well, but everything I read about him, and saw on his forums down to his idiotic remarks and actually removing subsections of his forum because of a minor disagreement, makes me not listen to the band anymore. I can't get past that.

Also if people want to give music away, who's to say they can't. It's like someone telling him he can't be Christian because it's stupid. No one is saying that though. Hypocrite.

I believe in divine healing, whether I believe this is a case of it or not, I don't really know, but I know that if Dave Mustaine prayed for a guy to be healed and he was, it wasn't Dave that healed him, it was God.

I think this will confuse alot of people. Dave did not heal anyone and he hasn't claimed to! It is the power of Jesus Christ that has healed this person. Dave simply ministered this power to the person through prayer. Praise Jesus!!

*2 weeks later*
"Today Dave Mustaine long time Megadeth guitarist and new member of Metallica became president of the world"

[Joss_Frusciante]

What the hell is wrong with some of you? Dave never said HE healed anybody. He just said he saw him again. Maybe the doctors estimated wrong. Maybe God did heal him. Only God knows.

[Hevvydrops_]

Oh so he's never gonna play with Slayer then? xD

[Noob_Brood]

Dave has become a great christian. I have nothing bad so say about him, and even though this is pushing to the break of insanity, at least he feels he is living decently now. Love his music by the way. It's a fact that the crazy people make the best music...that is, of course, if they can play a guitar or piano, or belt out their craziness through lyrics. It's always nice to see Dave use his magic for good. #Warlock.

you clearly haven't understood my point.. i'll make it simple. according to the bible, you will go to hell for not accepting jesus.. this is a major problem, since the region where u r born will usually indicate what religion you will be taught/indoctrinated into. by doing this ''jesus'' is condemning people to hell by having them born in Dubai for example which will probably mean you'll be raised a muslim which would = HELL

Whats wrong with Dave praying for a cancer patient???? he meant well and some of you just say stupid immature crap. What if you had cancer? wouldn't you want somebody to pray for your healing??? some of you kids havent gone through tough times yet like Dave has...if it wasnt for Dave turning christian hed be a dead junkie long time ago like lane staley(RIP) and the other crackhead musicians.

[zomgguitarz1234]

Dave mustaine has always been religious. I don't recall even 1% of the amount of people criticizing him for being christian, criticized him when he was into black magic.

It just shows how bigoted a lot of *******s on the internet are.

If actually believing in fairy tales (ie that they represent reality), and basing your life on a piece of fiction isn't enough to qualify a person as crazy, then I suppose the fact that he is saying he actually believes that he had anything to do with the cancer guys remission, might. Although, I will have to say the gov. of Kentucky is the real tard in this situation.

If I had cancer I would not want people to waste time praying, as it doesn't do anything but make them feel good (not the patient). I can tell you what is wrong with praying for a cancer patient (or anything really): 1) false hope, 2)devalues the work that doctors do, 3)devalues the entire field of medicine 4)it allows people to believe they are not responsible for anything.
Also, meaning well (ie having good intentions) is not really a proper justification for doing something. example: getting rid of all retarded people, and bums on the streets would solve a bunch of social problems, we ahve the means to do this by bagging-and-tagging them, therefore we should bag-and-tag all the retards/bums. The intentions are good, and will benefit the majority of people, but I don't think this is the type of thing you would want to promote, now is it?
Finally, what does kids not having gone through tough times have to do with the non-sense of prayer? or even ragging on someone? just because I wasn't strung out on junk I dont have the right to rip on someone who has?

[greenfiero1986]

OK How about we stop bashing him and other christians (any other religions) for beliefs, nobody cares who is what religion it is not right to bash religions. Everybody just shut the **** up and enjoy Dave's music and not his ****ing beliefs.

[Androidjoey]

but false hope is the thing that in most cases creates real hope and btw 97 percent of doctors don't cure anything what they do is take away the symptoms now who gives false hope

also, how does dave mustaine criticizing other bands have anything to do with this? seems kind of random

I always claimed that Dave Mustaine is god. as a joke.
What can I say?! cool for him...

Stop mocking Dave's faith in religion! yes, Bad Omen and Black Friday we're awesome songs - but his new songs like Sleepwalker and Headcrusher are fine as well...

Conclusion: Dave's Christianity doesn't change Megadeth's awesomeness!

Megadeth's awesomeness was already lessened when Dave got off drugs. Christianity was just the stake through the heart.

3 thoughts, all pertaining to minor details in the article rather than the main focus.

1. Lemmy is a pretty pronounced atheist, as is evident in MANY Motorhead songs. ie. Bad Religion, The Thousand names of God, God was Never on your Side, Brave New World, etc. I'm surprised that though Mustaine won't work with "Satanic" bands, he'll still work with guys that openly dissuade people from organized religion.

2. Mustaine doesn't lose credibility because of Christianity; Christianity loses cred. because of Mustaine. Its hard to validify his spiritual thoughts when he has said"Our president is a socialist trying to turn our country communist" Not to mention calling musicians who give out music free "stupid". He's strongly opinionated, and that isn't always a bad thing, but given his....outspoken history with the media, a negative stigma will always attach itself with whatever the man has to say.

And maybe some drugs, too. If anyone can do it, it's him.

Okay, I don't see the big problem. I applaud Dave for trying to be a good person and praying for him, but it wasn't necessary to grab his throat... But man, to say he won't play with satanic bands, he deserves some respect for that. Satanic bands are just plain stupid.

But sadly I think this will be my resignation from this once wonderful site.

This on top of all the constant bashing of other musicians just because you don't listen to that genre of music just pushed it over the top for me.

Respect is earned, not given, and following a 2000 year-old fairy tale that should have been left behind with the Dark Ages is, in no way, respectable in this day and age.

But the fact is that unexplained healing by prayer has been observed all over the world and it's only within the Christian faith that this sort of thing has happened

you sir are sick.. so god only saves christians in there time of need. you are forgetting 1 thing..
think about the thousands of kids in africa and asia who ''god'' allows to die in anguish every year of easilly cureable diseases because they HAPPEN to have been born in a country where christianity is no practiced.. praise jeeeeesus! by that logic, he's condemned over a billion of the planets inhabitants to hell in cold blood as he supposedly creates us and places us in the world.

if this were the case jesus is one sick piece of shit who gets off on the suffering of people. Dude it is not Jesus who condemns us to hell, we condemn ourselves to hell by rejecting Jesus

dgunblatt already made his point, but I'm wondering about that as well.. I was raised christian but turned agnostic. That doesn't mean I reject Christ, I'd gladly accept him and christianity if proof were shown of his divinity and the righteousness of christianity, so does that mean I'd still be condemned to hell? If it exists, I think not because even the bible says that God is forgiveness. That aside however, what about, as dgunblatt said, people that haven't even been introduced to and therefore do not know of christianity? Would God condemn them (or have they condemned themselves w/e) to hell simply by not knowing about christianity? Seems kinda harsh to me, and those kinds of interpretations to whatever word of whichever god you follow is why I have developed an aversion to religion, it just seems religion has lost its path and purpose.

OT: Dave Mustaine never claimed to have actually healed him, coincidence or divine healing? Fine by me either way.

Actually, the single most extensive study on the effects of prayer -- funded by The Templeton Foundation, an organization that set out to prove prayer has positive effects on terminally ill patients -- concluded that, under no circumstances, did prayer positively effect patients. Much evidence pointed towards the conclusion that prayer had a negative effect, for a variety of reasons as you can look into if you feel the desire.

Not a single legitimate, controlled study has shown praying for someone has a positive effect on their health.

the Bible says you are going to hell if you dont accept Jesus. it also says that ignorance will not condemn you. if you grew up in Dubai, where Christianity is not widely accepted, and never heard one word out of the Bible, you will not be sent to Hell if you are a good person and live a good life, but never accepted Jesus. what even about a baby born in America? would he be sent to Hell if he was never old enough to understand what Jesus and the Bible is? no. he would not.

Good on him. Not often you hear good news, you know. Though I don't see where they get off on saying "Dave Mustaine" healed the fan. Mustaine was merely intercessing for the work of the real healer, if this story is true, that is.

[royalewcheese35]

Man! I'm in medical school, and if I would have known that you could just pray cancer away, I wouldn't have wasted my time learning about p53, ras mutations, cyclins, Treg foxp3 cells, and the mechanisms of action, clearance, dosing, and side effects of tons of cancer medications with long and ridiculous names like trastusumab.

In actuality, certain cancers like some melanomas have been observed to disappear on their own. It used to be a mystery until we found out that the body's own immune system has the ability to recognize some tumors as foreign and eliminate them with CTL cells with help from Treg cells. Just because we don't know everything about cancer does not mean that magic and prayer can explain it; if you believe that it can, show me one amputee that has regrown his missing limb through prayer. just because cancer is microscopic and happening inside the body where you can't see it doesn't mean that "miracles" are taking place just because you want them to happen.

[krakkrox]

I don't know about him or anybody else but if it were me and I were sick and blessed by Mustaine my own will would help it happen or some shit like that cause i'd wouldn't be able to stop thinking about how awesome that is: What better tool of god to bless a sick metal fan?

btw spitz back in the game, huh? sweet i was hoping he'd put the fiddlin with swiss watchs down for a sec, and pick back up the mighty axe. (btw he should put a watch in a guitar headstock it could be like his thing)

What probably prolonged the kid's life was medicine and treatment he was prescribed to, not praying. Why focus on the praying and think it had anything to do with the recovery, when it's completely irrelevant?

I have a sister-n-law who just finished her cancer treatment and doctors are saying she is now cancer free. My other sister-in-law is a missionary and claims up and down that her prayers saved her sister. The treatment had nothing to do with it? Coincidence and opportunism do not prove causality.

Sure there's power in belief.
There's also power in positive emotions in absence of religion.

Just the same, this was a poorly written piece.

So... Is Dave Mustaine Jesus or what?

[xijack]

I'm not really a christian, but jesus did say if you had enough faith you could tell a tree to pull up it's roots and go jump in the river.
Positive thinking can heal?

Sorry but this sort of thing has been observed several times, people have had incurable diseases and been healed by Christians praying for them as medical experts are left with no explaination, and this is an undeniable fact. Dave Mustaine is a Christian and he's only doing what other Christians have been observed to do

Actually, the single most extensive study on the effects of prayer -- funded by The Templeton Foundation, an organization that set out to prove prayer has positive effects on terminally ill patients -- concluded that, under no circumstances, did prayer positively effect patients. Much evidence pointed towards the conclusion that prayer had a negative effect, for a variety of reasons as you can look into if you feel the desire.

Not a single legitimate, controlled study has shown praying for someone has a positive effect on their health.

Look into what Jesus said about prayer, is it something that can be systematically studied and labeled. and does prayer guarantee healing, or at least did Jesus ever make claims that it did.

James Hetfield may be the table but Dave Mustaine is the whole ****ing living room!
