woops, my bad

Heavy metal hero Dave Mustaine has credited Christianity for turning his life around and making him realize he was "a weasel." The Megadeth star admits he wasn't a very nice person before he found God and he's eager to make amends for all his wrongs.

He says, "Once I changed my life I thought, 'If anybody needed to become a Christian it was me because I was so bad. I really am enjoying who I'm discovering myself to be. I don't really know what the future has in store for me but it's a hell of a lot different than it was."

"I'm sure glad I didn't give up because there were some years where I just felt like the entire world was just disgusted with me. There were a lot of times when I thought the music business would be better off without me and I should go to peeling onions for a living!"

Mustaine reveals he has spent years apologizing to the people he has wronged and now only wishes his ex-wife could forgive him.

He tells WENN, "The only person that I really have any problems with anymore is my ex-wife. I love her and we're friends but that's the only thing in my entire world that upsets me; I couldn't bury the hatchet with her. Everybody else in my life, I've been able to work things out. I had the most amazing years being married and it's a big change for me being single now."

"...How sweet the sound,
That saved a weasel like me..."

I'm sure he's been a jerk, which is mostly between him and his loved ones. But as somewhat of a fan, I forgive him...based on what I know.

Obviously, I didn't have to work with him, but I think a lot of the anger, bitterness, egotism, cynicism, and so on are what gave edge to his music and made it stand out. Sometimes artists suffer for their art, along with those around them.
