Summary

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.

Excellent bio

I listened to this audiobook solidly and got through the whole thing in just a few days. I found it very interesting, entertaining, and inspiring, and I feel like I have gotten to know the real Dave Mustain a lot better and I have a lot more respect for him after listening to this audiobook. In saying that one of the things that impressed me the most is his honesty.

The narrator is also pretty good and does a good job at doing all the different accents for the various characters. I feel like this is one of the main factors that separates a good narrator from a not so good narrator

Great book, great narrator

Great read telling Dave's side. Some of our is hard to hear, but actually great insight into his growth over the years. Must listen for any Megadeth fan, but also great listen for those seeking to address their own problems. Owning it and working forward is the actual message here.

Absolutely excellent. Whether you love him or hate him the viewpoint from Dave Mustaines stance is most entertaining.

Excellent autobiography of a conflicting personality
