Dimebag's Murder Helped Bring Big Four Together? (No 9 Rock Story of 2011)
. Mustaine goes on to say that he feels responsible for keeping apart the bands in the Big Four (who also include Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax). "I think a lot of it was contingent on me, because [in the '80s and '90s] I was going through a lot of personal stuff that really put an unnecessary wall between all of us," he said. "A lot of it has been publicized, a lot of it wasn't. Most of it was the much heralded and worn stories of drugs and alcoholism." Mustaine also said the bad blood stemmed from his use of black magic and witchcraft, which he had gotten into when he was young. It was the death of a fellow metal guitarist that changed his life. "I had practiced black magic and was friends with Satan, so those things kind of happen when you make bad choices," he said. "And once I started looking at things differently � once [Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott] had been murdered, unfortunately � it helped me put things in perspective between all of us in the Big Four. more on this story We are wrapping up the year by looking back at the top 11 stories of 2011 for various topics.
