Dave Mustaine Lands On Anderson Cooper's 'RidicuList' For Men's Wearhouse Rant

Haven't heard about Dave Mustaine's latest rant? It involved a messed up delivery from Men's Wearhouse is Salt Lake City. The statement involving that issue was quite lengthy and took place via Facebook. To start it off he wrote, "You know me, I don't complain much in writing." By the sound of it we all know this was going to be good. He wrote:

"Droogies,

 I know that not all of you have the kind of job that requires a suit, or wear a suit when you (if you) go to any kind of faith-based service, court date, wedding or funeral, but if you do…you are going to want to read this. You know me, I don’t complain much in writing, but I gotta get this off my chest.

A few days before Christmas I purchased a gift certificate from the Men’s Warehouse in Salt Lake City, Utah as a gift for our awesome tour manager Jim Carroccio. You know the Men's Warehouse…the old geezer with the voice that sound like he has chain-smoked since he was a fetus; the one that espouses, "I absolutely guarantee you’re gonna like the way you look," or some manure like that, right?

Well, I was talking to Jim today and wondering why he didn't say anything (I think we all wonder sometimes when our loved ones or friends get gifts if they actually like them) and it turns out that they decided to hold my order, otherwise called by them as “pending,” and told no one. For almost 9 days now I have been waiting for delivery of this gift certificate, and I wouldn't say anything because it IS the holidays, but these salesmen promised that they would GUARANTEE a two-day delivery of the certificate to Jim (it seems they throw this word GUARANTEE around quite a lot)

So, we called and asked what happened and they have no explanation whatsoever, they didn't care, and when we asked if they were going to do anything to remedy this, they made no effort whatsoever for this mix-up…although they did promise me the same GUARANTEE that they gave me when I bought it; that is that they will send it "two-day delivery," but I already was promised this. Maybe they mean 12 day delivery.

I really think that it sucks when people make false claims, that they don’t care to make good on a problem that is clearly their fault, and with all of the “ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE IT” crap I just had to say something. We are all living in very tight financial times right now, and like I said, you may not wear a suit for your job or for an event or occasion, but if you do, I would strongly recommend you wear someone else’s suits. Go to Jos. A Bank instead. I for one, will never set foot in a Men’s Warehouse, even for shelter from a blizzard.

I absolutely GUARANTEE it.

Dave Mustaine

That was probably the longest Facebook status update I have read so far in my life! Did you think he went overboard a bit? I thought he exaggerated at the end though. "Never set a foot." Really? That's too much.

Mustaine however did get an apology from Men's Wearhouse for the inconvenience.

"Dave, thanks for reaching out to us on Facebook. We apologize for the delay in receiving your gift card and agree that the delay is unacceptable. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority and we stand by our guarantee to deliver world-class customer service. So, we’d like to speak with you about a solution but are having some trouble reaching you since we last connected on 12/28. Please send your contact info to MWListens@tmw.com and our team will help you right away."

But wait! This doesn't end here! Mustaines rant landed him on 'TheRidicuList.' Anderson Cooper started off by giving props to the musician for being founder of one of the greatest thrash bands, Megadeth. Then went off to talk about the Men's Wearhouse situation. He said, "We are all old. You know that you’re old when one of the founding members of Metallica is upset about a customer service issue with a Men’s Wearhouse in Salt Lake City."

I wonder what Dave Mustaine is going to say about this! For more information On the CNN 'RidicuList" click the link below.
