From his early, crazy days as a founding member of Metallica, Dave Mustaine has seen and experienced everything in the world of rock n’ roll. From his young triumphs and ignominious ouster from the band for his hard-partying ways to his later rule over Megadeth, one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time, Mustaine tells it all. Outrageously candid and in-your-face, this is classic rock memoir in the vein of Slash, Motley Crue: The Dirt, and Sound of the Beast—an insider’s look at the loud and sordid world of heavy metal.

Being a huge megadeth fan for close to 15 years I wanted to read this book, but who am I kidding. I don't read....so once I saw this I jumped at it.

Quick overview but no spoilers.

This feels like Dave is just sitting there telling you his life story. It's very easy to listen to, if your a fan of megadeth then you'll have no problem listening to it.

He does go deep into what all he has tried, how it made him feel, as well as not pulling any punches. It does as well have a fair amount of cussing. So if that is a put off for you, then you might not want to listen to this.

And by the end he doesn't pull any punches about his faith in God/Jesus either. In making it clear that he's not a perfect guy, but the only way that he's still here is due to the fact God saved him.

As a Christian myself I loved hearing this story. In that aspect it felt like a huge testimony, more than a life story.

Highway to hell, u turn, highway to heaven.

I loved this book. Dave Mustaine is a personal an professional hero of mine. I wish I could meet him an learn from him. I'm STILL A FAN. Th1rt3en is a great record an Three Title Track is a mantra to me. Super Collider an Dystopia are just as wonderful as all their albums.

MAJOR LOVE FOR DAVE FROM JASON C. DANIEL & JESUS.

I totally enjoyed the story I learned many new things about Dave mustaine and the band and I totally thought it was cool that the person they had reading it his voice sounded exactly like Dave's

KILLER!!

I started reading this book and as I read it, I had Dave Mustaine's distinctive voice in my head narrating. The book itself is fantastic, I was just disappointed that the audio book was narrated by somebody else. I know he is a busy man, but it didn't feel right.

I have always wondered what really happened to the destruction of Dave Mustaine and this book answered it all. I am glad the narrator sounds just like Dave, it was ad if Dave was speaking directly to you.

I had no idea how bad it was for Dave growing up and it further explains his behavior through the years. I really appreciate how open and honest he is about his life. I have truly come to admire him and his accomplishments.

This is definitely worth the money and the credit. I plan on listening to this again!!

inspiring and eye opening

good but could be better

Where does Mustaine rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Wow...this is so subjective. I lean heavily towards autobiographies and non-fiction in general. Best judge is how anxious I was to keep listening...very. You have to be fan of Megadeth and know some history to truly appreciate the life of Mustaine

Any additional comments?

Dave Mustaine is very intelligent person and one of the most tortured public people you'll ever read about...yet, he somehow is still roaming the earth and keeping perspective. So many musicians broke down completely, well before accomplishing everything that Mustaine has - bravo Dave. Unlike many other addicts, it seems he did himself the most damage along the way - yet kept his vision alive.

Yes, another drug crazed rock musician but...
