About this listen

 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.

A great insight into Dave's story: growing up, booze, drugs, Megadeth and Metallica... and jesus. interesting, funny and very well read. Tom Wayland even sounds like Dave.

good stuff

It was definitely entertaining to dive into the life of one of the musicians that meant so much to me at one point of my life. I really enjoyed the look behind the scenes of heavy metal world at its peak. The narrator wasn't a great fit for Dave's voice and personality, I would enjoy it much better if he himselt read this book.

Great performance. Great story and insight. True honesty. Highly entertaining. I recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in the genre.

Amazing

Prerry good, bit cliche at times and his descriptions of being a born again Christian were a bit over the top but I guess for him it will have been that life changing from what he was before i guess its worth more than just a mention. Didn't really know much about Mustaine beforehand but love the band. Hes a bit of a narcissist at times "me me me" selfish, arrogant but hes a character isn't he? It would be boring otherwise. good listen.
Narrator was pretty good actually.

a good listen into a legendary guitarist
