The rift between Dave and Metallica was healed when Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer co-headlined the Big Four shows in 2010. Speaking to Guitar World magazine in 2023, Dave talked about the relationship.
When asked if he heard Metallica's new record, Dave said, "No, I have not heard Metallica's latest record. But there was a time around 20 years ago when we were not being friendly toward each other when I couldn't listen to their music when it came on the radio. But none of that bothers me anymore, and it's not why I haven't heard the record, especially after the Big Four thing that we did. I really think we should do that again."
