Last week, James Hetfield stated an opinion that's shared by plenty of people -- among them gays, Satanists and folks who think Barack Obama was born in America -- around the country: Dave Mustaine has a "big mouth." In particular, the Metallica frontman was miffed at Mustaine for talking-up a potential supergroup collaboration, and now the Megadeth frontman has responded to Hetfield's comments.

"I already sent a text message and said I apologized to him for saying that and that I won't ever mention it again," Mustaine told Artisan news, according to MetalInsider.net.
