Founding member of Megadeth & former Metallica guitarist Dave Mustaine tells a never-before-heard story of the lifetime he has spent in rock n roll. But this extraordinary tale riddled with his own personal ups & downs is also the inside account of two of the most influential heavy metal bands in the world. Here for the first time ever Dave Mustaine tells the tale of two of the biggest metal bands in history; a story yet to be told from the inside. Metallica the pioneers of the thrash metal genre rocketed to international fame in the 1980s selling over 90 million records worldwide making it the most successful band of its kind
- ever. Megadeth the second most successful thrash metal band ever have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide including six consecutive platinum albums. Despite their enormous success together Dave & Metallica have bad blood by the bucket-load. In April of 1983 due in part to alcoholism & in part to personality clashes with founding members Hetfield & Ulrich Dave was unceremoniously fired from the band dumped at a Greyhound bus station in Rochester NY with a single ticket back to LA. How did such an abrupt end come about? How did he pick himself back up recover his dignity & go on to send another band into the dizzying heights of rock stardom? The time has come to set the record straight. From the early crazy days of Metallica to his split with the band & to his glorious reign with Megadeth Dave has seen & experienced lifes extremities. This startlingly candid refreshingly in-your-face memoir tells it all.

Now of course in these days of producer-consumers (thats you by the way) one can take complete control & become a veritable cameraman anywhere anytime. Introducing the Veho Muvi Atom
