This morning we reported the story about Dave Mustaine dissing AC/DC. Now this afternoon the Megadeth mainman is backtracking frantically…
A contrite Mustaine comments:
“I just read the [Metal Hammer article where I talk] about Acca Dacca, and I am so disappointed in how I said what I said.
“No excuses; I didn’t say what I was trying to say, and what I said is rude and childish. Not my style (well, at least not my style for the last decade or so, thank God), and I am even offended at what I said.
“I have never in 30-plus years disrespected AC/DC, one of my favourite bands in the whole world; I think I just got too comfortable and forgot that we were recording and I was being an ass.
“My apologies to my friends, especially Brian [Johnson]; that just did not come out right at all and I’m sorry, bro.”
