Book description
Former Metallica guitarist and founding member of Megadeth Dave
Mustaine talks for the first time about his life in rock 'n' roll,
finally telling the inside story of two of the most influential heavy
metal bands in the world.
Here, for the first time ever, Dave Mustaine tells the tale of two of
the biggest metal bands in history; a story yet to be told from the
inside. A pioneer of the thrash metal movement, Metallica rose to
international fame in the 1980s, selling over 90 million records
worldwide, making them the most successful thrash metal band ever. And
Megadeth - the second most successful thrash metal band ever - have sold
more than 20 million albums worldwide, including six consecutive
platinum albums.
But despite their enormous success together, Dave and Metallica have
had some bad blood. In April of 1983, partly due to alcoholism and
partly due to personality clashes with founding members Hetfield and
Ulrich, he was fired from the band and unceremoniously dropped off at a
Greyhound station in Rochester, NY with a ticket back to LA. Now he will
finally tell his side of the story.
From the early, crazy days of Metallica, to his split with the band to
ruling over Megadeth, Dave has seen and experienced it all. And now he's
telling it all in his startlingly candid, in-your-face memoir. 'Tales
of the heavy metal high life' Record Collector Dave Mustaine is the
lead guitarist and singer of the metal band Megadeath and was a founding
member of Metallica. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
