Summary
"I'm tired of the tour, I'm tired of Megadeth, I'm not having any fun... and you don't want me to drink, so I'm taking Valium instead!" words that almost ended one of the biggest bands in Thrash Metal history. Mustaine goes into elaborate detail in the life of lead singer and guitarist of Megadeth, Dave Mustaine. It follows his beginnings in life and in the music industry. from his rise with the power group Metallica, to his many rehab stints and the rapid success of Megadeth.
His childhood was spent bouncing form home to home,trying to avoid his. Not much really changed as he grew older. he continued to move from home to home but also from band to band. Starting several bands and joining many more, Dave cemented his career as a musician from the age of fourteen. At age seventeen he met Lars Ulrich, Drummer of Metallica.

With Metallica, Dave produced a new sound. The loudest, fastest, heaviest, rawest sound the music industry had heard in a long while. this style was dubbed Thrash Metal. Due to it's intense speed, ripping solos, earsplitting volumes, and uncanny ability to make concert goers thrash in the "pit". Shortly after joining however Dave was kicked out of Metallica, or "Alcoholica" as critics called them, for destructive behavior. After being removed from Metallica, Dave went on to make his current band; Megadeth. His primary goal with Megadeth, play better, faster, and heavier than Metallica.
