Of course when you hear Dave talk about it, he pretty much claims to have taught all three of the other three Big Four bands everything they knew. (Kerry King was a member of Megadeth sometime before they released their first album, and when Metallica went to New York, Anthrax got influenced by them.) It's hilarious to listen to Dave Mustaine to talk about himself at length.

The bold part I already knew, as well as how Dave embellishes things he taught or influenced upon others in regard to thrash, I mean...Dave Mustaine, the king of taking credit for pretty much whatever.
My whole point is that this Rattlehead fellow is blowing things out of proportions here. Dave has influence, but it is not polarizing influence.
