Resumen del Editor

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Megadeth’s iconic record, Rust in Peace, from the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist.

When Rust in Peace was released in 1990, the future of Megadeth was uncertain. Fresh off their performance at the record-breaking Monsters of Rock festival, and with knockout new albums from Slayer, Anthrax, and Metallica dominating the charts, the pressure to produce a standout statement record was higher than ever.

In Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece, the band's lead vocalist and guitarist, Dave Mustaine, gives listeners a never-before-seen glimpse into the artistry and insanity that went into making the band's most iconic record. He recounts the arduous task of hiring the band and supporting cast, of managing egos and extracurriculars during the album's ensuing success, and succumbing to the pressures of fame and fortune - which eventually forced the band to break up.

And yet, Megadeth's demise was just the beginning; the birth pangs of the record were nothing compared to what came next. Alcohol, drugs, sex, money, power, property, prestige, the lies fed to the band by the industry - and the lies they told each other-threatened to eat away at the band's bond like rust, devouring it until only the music survived.

Featuring a foreword by Slash

Reseñas de la Crítica

"You cannot discuss heavy metal without mentioning Dave Mustaine and Megadeth. I've known these guys since their beginning. We took them on their first national tour. This is one of the bands that sharpened the cutting edge of metal. This book tells the roller coaster story of their iconic album Rust in Peace and delves into their personal struggles to keep it all together while dealing with addiction. This struggle and eventual success is one of the things that make Dave Mustaine and Megadeth as a band so compelling. They went through it all and then some, and they came out the other end of it. It's one of the things we have in common. I am proud to have had a small hand in their sobriety during this period of their career. This book is a must read for metal fans. Herein lies their story - Glory, Destruction and Redemption." (Alice Cooper)

"Rust in Peace is an album that means so much to so many it's worthy of this book solely dedicated to it. And now I can't wait for the movie!" (Scott Ian of Anthrax)

"With a foreword by Guns n' Roses' guitarist Slash, and a who's-who of music industry participants, this rollicking history is a no-brainer for metal fans." (Publisher's Weekly)

Truth behind the Greatest Heavy Metal Album Ever

Dave Mustaine allows the truth to be told even though members still Don't agree. The members have truly agreed to disagree and that is ok. It is refreshing to hear this. It is powerful and eye opening on how Mustaine really is, even though you hear lies and BS told about him. You can hear its not true. This was great hearing this from the guys themselves.

Mustaine is a great big jerk!!!!!

I could not believe what a great big jerk Dave M was. I have been major Megadeth fan since 1985 but after him firing David Ellefson last year and now listening to his books, I am no longer a fan of his.

A must for any metal fan not only Megadeth

Amazing details and is so entertaining when listening the guys themselves, this is a roller Coster that you’ll never regret riding.

Good book

Again an inside look at an amazing band and killer album. Rust is a landmark album from Megadeth, one of their best, now go download the rest of their catalog!

AWESOME book, VERY well told!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I especially enjoyed the multiple perspectives, and I really appreciated the great care in having those who contributed to the book, narrate their own parts!

Another good one.

Dave is God ,and Megadeth rules! Can't wait for the next book to come out.Trump 2020

Thank you Megadeth

On par with Dave's other book

Really gets into the bands emotions, struggles and triumphs during the time period leading up to the recording. Briefly explained where the songs came from which was my favorite moment in the book

Dave Mustaine is as fantastic as they come!

Loved the read and such a clever way to honestly write the passage of time. "Rust In Peace" is my favorite Megadeth record and this book had so much information that should not be overlooked. Much respect to all the contributors behind creating this.

As good as you think it'd be

Excellent book if you want to know the details of what went down at that time. Marty Friedman's voice isn't actually Marta Friedman's. Dave Ellifson is about as perfect and accurate at retelling parts of the story as can be. Dave Mustaine stretches things a little bit sometimes till it breaks but overall does a really good job. very interesting I finished it in two nights I didn't want it to end.
