Mustaine claims to have written several Metallica songs, most notably "Leper Messiah". Metallica refuses to recognize this. Many Megadeth fans believe that "Master of Puppets" was Mustaine's work and that Metallica ripped it off without paying proper credit or royalties. Mustaine is given minor credit for his work on "The Call of Ktulu," but there are arguments between the Mustaine and Metallica fans on how much of the song he actually wrote (in any event, Megadeth clearly adapted some of the music from "The Call of Ktulu" to their own song "Hangar 18"). In 2004, the Mustaine-Metallica feud re-ignited when footage of Mustaine was used in the documentary ''Some Kind of Monster''. Mustaine claims that the video segment was edited in an effort to show him in an unflattering manner. In an interview with Metal Maniacs magazine, Mustaine called Ulrich a "treacherous little man"; Mustaine also wrote the song "Something I'm Not" on ''The System Has Failed'' about Ulrich.
Kirk Hammett:
Mustaine's replacement with Kirk Hammett has resulted in bad blood between the two. Even though Dave has stated he "doesn't care Kirk took my job," the Megadeth creator noted "at least I got to bang his girlfriend before he took my job — how do I taste, Kirk?" . In Megadeth's edition of Behind The Music, Mustaine stated that "now he sees how Hammett tries really hard" and "thinks he makes really good use of what talent he has."
