Megadeth founder and frontman Dave Mustaine returns talk about his new book, In My Darkest Hour: A Memoir, and the cancer diagnosis that changed his life. He shares how aching teeth led to the discovery of cancer, the brutal realities of radiation treatment, how it affected his singing, and why he insisted on including his family, doctors and bandmates’ side of the story in his latest New York Times bestseller. Dave also remembers his friendship with Cliff Burton, and reveals how Cliff’s love of Lynyrd Skynyrd indirectly influenced Dave’s guitar solo on “The Four Horsemen.” Plus, he breaks down the making of his legendary “Holy Wars” solo, talks songwriting, riffs, Megadeth’s new generation of fans, how an ongoing issue with his hand factored into his decision to make this Megadeth’s final tour, and the meaning behind the Argentinian chant that follows the band around the world.

Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready talks about his new graphic novel and companion album, “Farewell to Seasons,” and the real Seattle rock stories that inspired it. He shares memories of Andrew Wood and Mother Love Bone, how Chris Cornell welcomed Eddie Vedder into the Seattle scene, the making and timing of Temple of the Dog, and how Pearl Jam went from opening clubs to exploding on Lollapalooza and MTV. Mike explains why Pearl Jam never considered themselves a “grunge” band, why they stopped making music videos at the height of their success, and what it was like watching Eddie Vedder’s death-defying stage climbs during their early tours. He also gets into KISS and the Ace Frehley connection to the “Alive” solo, what Pearl Jam learned from Neil Young on “Mirror Ball,” how Stevie Ray Vaughan inspired Mike’s guitar part on “Yellow Ledbetter,” and why “Black” and “Alive” remain his favorite Pearl Jam songs to play live. Plus, Mike reveals his longtime love of pro wrestling and puts Chris Jericho in the hot seat for questions about Bret Hart, Sting and Triple H.
