Description
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Megadeths iconic record, Rust in Peace, from the bands lead vocalist and guitarist.
When Rust in Peace was released in 1990, the future of Megadeth was uncertain. Fresh off their performance at the record-breaking Monsters of Rock festival, and with knockout new albums from Slayer, Anthrax, and Metallica dominating the charts, the pressure to produce a standout statement record was higher than ever.
In Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece, the bands lead vocalist and guitarist, Dave Mustaine, gives readers a never-before-seen glimpse into the artistry and insanity that went into making the bands most iconic record. He recounts the arduous task of hiring the band and supporting cast, of managing egos and extracurriculars during the albums ensuing success, and succumbing to the pressures of fame and fortunewhich eventually forced the band to break up.
And yet, Megadeths demise was just the beginning; the birth pangs of the record were nothing compared to what came next. Alcohol, drugs, sex, money, power, property, prestige, the lies fed to the band by the industryand the lies they told each other-threatened to eat away at the bands bond like rust, devouring it until only the music survived.
