I've seen Lars and Dave talk to each other on S.K.O.M. It is one of the most emotional interviews I've seen. You hear Dave-The-Jerk Mustaine talking about how he felt to be kicked out of his band. He agrees that he is dangerous, but he felt bad seeing Metallica go through so many years of success, and they never addressed him as part of their success. The band wakes him up in the middle of the night to tell him he was out. No warning. No second chance.
Metallica was his extended family. He sold everything to join that band. And it ended. Other than his mom, James and Lars were his family. They shared dreams. There was no way to say what was going on with his drinking problem.
How he acted when he was drunk was very different from when he was drunk. They never gave it a chance. It probably would've worked. When you go down to the violence, it's his nature. He's over-protective of the people he loves. Like once, some guy named Phil hurt Lars. And Phil got a broken leg from Dave.

Lars says that during a show, he had a clear vision the night before they made the decision to tell Dave, he was on pot. He had a clear vision that he would be overcome with sadness and emotion over what would eventually traspire in 8 hours. He felt that when all the boasting and He-Man went away, he knew Dave had this tender side that Lars felt comfortable wth.
Dave isn't mad at Lars. He don't want anything from anybody. He still has his dreams. He really is glad James was in his health. He wishes Cliff was still here.
As much as he feels angry with the band for kicking him out, he actually feels happy for them.

Mustaine was an angry drunk. He had threatened various people in the production of the tour with bodily harm making the band difficult at best to market.
Admittedly he was the most talented member of the band.
He hasn't done to bad for himself in forming Megadeth. It's kind of hard for me to feel sorry for the guy. I don't like what Metallica sounds like now, and think having Dave Mustaine in there would help that tremendously.

I don't think that you can say that they didn't give him a second chance. He messed up several times, and didn't seem to want to get help with his drinking. If he was really serious and committed to the band, he would have made it work.
