Review by K. Perez for Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir
Rating:
I began to devour this book while waiting in line to meet Dave and have him sign my copy at a book signing in Toronto last week. Very quickly it was evident this memoir is written from a place of candor, humor, humility and honesty that I was both surprised at and appreciative of. After all, the Dave Mustaine of my youth was a balsy mouthpiece with a sneer that could send you running for the hills and melt your heart at once (if you were an impressionable teenaged girl who loved Metal that is).
This memoir is like having a conversation with a friend. The stories shared don’t come across from a place of bragging or boasting, but from a place of experience, and sometimes veer into quite emotional and serious areas. Luckily though some tales told can also be both crude and funny at once, and it really feels like the words are falling from Dave’s own lips. I found it a very deeply insightful look into both an amazing creature and a flawed man, he’s human just like the rest of us. Huh, who knew? In the epic percieved battle of Megadeth vs. Metallica I think everyone will enjoy this look into both Dave’s life and his thought process. I was a Metallica fan for many years, with only brief flirts of Megadeth in my musical landscape. Reading this memoir has absolutely made me a bigger fan of Mustaine and his life’s work…..Megadeth.

OK, so I’m a sucker for a sad story. Just got done reading Dave Mustaine’s new memoir. It was a quick read since I have witnessed history being made while working with him as a writer/producer going back over 22 years. Know his story inside out (as most Megadeth fans do too), so there was nothing new in the book for me (SPOILER ALERT) besides the story of having his wife’s labor induced for their second child so he could make a Howard Stern Show appearance.
The book is a Walt Disney version of his real life story. It is an extremely cleaned up look at a truly ugly past of a rock star womanizer and hard core drug user. The late Layne Staley from Alice in Chains when talking about his heroin addiction said it clearly in print, “It’s a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning, and I’m throwing up all the time and sh*tting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It’s the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.” Apparently, social workers have used this story told by this lovely and talented mans words of pain to help others with the same problem.
Can not help but feel empathy for Mustaine while reading the book. It almost feels as if Dave is knocking on heaven’s door and wants to tell his story before saying goodbye.
Hope that is not the case and it’s just an approaching age 50 thing.
Mustaine does have an extremely long “amends” list and has hurt a lot of people, a whole lot of people as he writes about in the book along his rise to fame.
However, after witnessing his role as a father (was at his house with a film crew in Arizona in 1994 before a shoot sitting on the couch in the living room and his son Justis who was maybe age 2-3 gave my leg a “tap” as toddlers do and Mustaine gave him a “time-out” warning for no hitting) I think there is a good person inside there somewhere. Plus, the photos in the book of his daughter are just angelic, what a blessing.
Furthermore, believe Dave should have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2009 along with his former band mates in Metallica. Pondering that he just pissed off way too many important people in the music / entertainment industry along the way, including myself.
Mustaine will get his chance, just hope he is alive for it.
Addendum to above book review:
After I finished reading the last page of Mustaine’s memoir this song below came to mind (you might have to cut & paste the link it into your navigation bar to view).

If you’re a Megadeth fan, than you know most of the stories that are in this book. It is how honest Dave come across that is the most surprising. He doesn’t sugarcoat things or try to place the blame on others, he lets things fall where they lie. If you’re interested in Dave as a person then this will be a good read, if you’re wanting to get into detailed accounts of recording info, look elsewhere. As a guitarist I would have liked to have seen more about his unique style and show he writes songs but it is still a very good book and I highly recommend it. For a guy who is often demonized or portrayed as godly he comes across as rather human in this book…….

Ignore the review by JD posted here, Apparently, he/she did not read the memoir carefully. Dave Mustaine’s self centeredness, bitterness, and immoral ways are commented upon by Dave himself and he does hold himself accountable for his actions/sins. When Dave Mustaine talks about how “he did not care,” he’s talking about how he felt at the time, about himself in the past, not about how he feels now that he’s a changed man and returned to a moral life. His full recovery and return to God are not brought to light until almost the very end of the book. That’s the point to show the contrast of who he was with who he is now. Nowhere does Dave Mustaine say he can do no wrong. He lays everything on the line very candidly about all his wrongdoing: the drugs, the relapses, the neglect (for himself and family), his selfishness, etc. Over and over again he points out how he does not blame others but himself. As far as Metallica goes, any bitterness that resides there is demonstrated because (1)they stole/took credit for many of his songs, (2)Lars Ulrch ambushed him into being filmed for the Metallica documentary and after protesting to have his part removed from the film, was ignored,(3)most importantly, he was never given a second chance whereas with Megadeth he gave his bandmates many chances the fix their lives since he too needed to straighten up. Everything Dave Mustaine says here is said in a very matter of fact way. The most touching part of this memoir, for me personally, was the description of how he finally came back to God, how he got his family back, and now understands the most important thing in his life are his family and God.

I got my copy in the mail yesterday. I started reading it, and didn’t stop reading for seven hours!
The book is written in a very conversational tone- as if Dave Mustaine himself was talking about his life. Very interesting and eventful. As you probably already know, Mustaine’s life was not an easy one! I really admire the man for his honesty and putting himself out there for the rest of the world in this great book.
There is funny, sad and random in this tome. It is a great read. Not only that, there are also many photos in the book from when he was young and from the metallica years too.
Overall, I think this book will be loved by any fan of Mustaine or Megadeth or of metal. You can really understand the man’s struggles over the years, his dedication to music and his determination to succeed.
Buy it, read it!
