Megadeth's Dave Mustaine just can't keep out of the headlines. His (now legendary) rant against Men's Wearhouse was posted all over the web, including on CNN, where they inaccurately reported that he still had some bad feelings towards Metallica, which Mustaine called them out on.
But that wasn't the last time CNN would be mentioning Mustaine.
On CNN's flagship show, Anderson Cooper tonight, at the conclusion of the program on the segment "Ridiculist," Cooper spotlighted Mustaine and the Men's Wearhouse fiasco, basically calling the thrash icon old. Take a look:
The biggest shocker of all? Mustaine responded to this and took the high road:
It's ok that @andersoncooper tried to make fun of me on his #RidicuList. I've always thought he was a class newsman & I love his show.

What…the…what?! Could Dave be turning a new leaf? Does he realize that the things he says in a public forum, like Facebook and Twitter, leave him open to ridicule from anybody and everybody? Maybe he might scale back the cuckoo talk and just focus on writing siqq riffs for his new album?
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
