Dave Mustaine Says There Are No Original Ideas In Music

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine doesn`t mind other musicians copying what he does because he says there is nothing original anyway.

"The only guy who has ever said an original word in the Universe was Adam," he tells Undercover News. "As far as guitar is concerned it all goes back to Robert Johnson. You take Heavy Metal, Trash came from Heavy Metal. You take Rock and Roll, well, Heavy Metal came from Rock and Roll".

Mustaine even talked about the origins of the term "Rock and Roll". It is an old term for sex. "It is a slang from the negroes that were in America (that is what they called them back then), it was slang for having sex," he says. "They would 'rock and roll' in bed. They would say that the music that Robert Johnson did was "rocking and rolling". It was sexy. Would someone have stolen from me? They would have to have. It is just part of being a musician. There are only 12 notes anyway, man".

Megadeth have just released the live DVD 'Rust In Peace'.
