I recently finished reading Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir. This book was such an entertaining yet powerful read that I finished it in a day and a half. It is an easy book to read and one that you don’t want to put down.
I liked Megadeth’s early albums a lot, but didn’t keep up with them too much after that and so I was unaware of the lineup changes and personal tragedies that happened over the years.
What a life this man has had – and what abuse he put his body through! But in spite of it all, Dave Mustaine has had a successful music career and impacted the lives of many people. The book spans his entire life from childhood, to his time in Metallica and then forming Megadeth, in and out of rehab many times,to the nerve loss in his arm that nearly ruined his musical career.
This book made me feel thankful – thankful for the childhood and life that I have had and thankful for the strength and talent of Dave Mustaine.
