I always heard James kicked Dave's dog and Dave punched him in the face and James just told him it was the last straw with his alcohol and drug abuse. Kicked him out and Dave was pissed so he started Megadeth so he could make a heavier, bigger and better band than Metallica.
Anyways, here's a quote from Dave in 1992 about Chris [Poland]:
"Chris Poland - you know what? - he could die tomorrow and it wouldn't affect me... Chris has never made amends to me for stealing all my gear. I had a collector's item Echoplex which just disappeared, all sorts of guitars, which were all stolen to cash in for heroin. I'm willing to forgive and forget, but until he comes and makes amends with me then I'm not willing to give in."
