Lambgoat: Is Dave Mustaine REALLY clean?

Greg Puciato: "You know, I couldn't really tell. We aren't really a bro down band so it wasn't like we were trying to get bombed with Dave Mustaine, but I didn't see him drink or do anything. He had a pastor walking around with him on tour and riding on his bus, I think to help keep him on the straight and narrow path. The amount of visible drug intake on that tour was surprisingly low, but then again like I said we don't really hang out a lot anyway so if there was blow being hoovered off 50-year-old metal moms in the back of a FEAR FACTORY bus, I was probably sitting on a fucking laptop eating a hotdog."

Lambgoat: What's the most insane thing you saw Mustaine do during the Gigantour?

Greg Puciato: "This story is insane but not in the way you would expect. One day we were all in the catering area of this club — fuck, what was it… the one in Milwaukee, Eagles Ballroom? I think that's it. Well in the catering room there were all these collages on the walls with pictures of musicians on them. Right in the center of one there was a big picture of glory days James Hetfield. Like 1987 Hetfield with the white ESP explorer, roaring like a lion. Mustaine walks in and starts looking at all the collages, gets to that one, and just stares at the Hetfield picture for like three minutes. We're all like, 'Holy shit, look, look, he's gonna have a fucking freak-out or a breakdown or something.' Then he walks over to an open window, leans on the windowsill, and just stares out the window for 15-20 minutes. It was pretty intense. Just the shit that must have been going through his head. He was obviously affected. It was crazy just seeing 25 years of metal history colliding in that dude's head."
