"Rust in Peace is an album that means so much to so many it's
worthy of this book solely dedicated to it. And now I can't wait
for the movie!"--Scott Ian of Anthrax
"Rust in Peace is probably the greatest Megadeth recording ever.
Great line up, great songs and great sound. I admire Dave's style
to this day. He really plays his ass off on this!!"--Kerry King of
Slayer
"An amazing and frank look into the behind the scenes of the making
of one of the greatest albums in heavy metal history."--Brian
Slagel, Chairman/CEO, Metal Blade Records
"An appropriately spiky telling of the tale of a dangerously spiky
record."--Kerrang!
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dave Mustaine. Dave's
always stayed true to himself and has never been interested in
chasing musical trends. If you ask me that's been the key to
Megadeth's success and longevity in this business."--Ozzy
Osbourne
"The drug-fueled mayhem, the riots, the riffs. The triumphs and the
tragedies, no holds barred. I already considered myself a
knowledgeable Megadeth aficionado, but I could not put this book
down! I thoroughly enjoyed taking the trip with 'Deth on a journey
that, against all odds, leads us up to the rebirth of the band and
one of the true masterpieces of the Thrash Metal genre."--Michael
Amott ofArch Enemy
"With a foreword by Guns n' Roses' guitarist Slash, and a who's-who
of music industry participants, this rollicking history is a
no-brainer for metal fans."--Publisher's Weekly
"You cannot discuss heavy metal without mentioning Dave Mustaine
and Megadeth. I've known these guys since their beginning. We took
them on their first national tour. This is one of the bands that
sharpened the cutting edge of metal. This book tells the roller
coaster story of their iconic album Rust in Peace and delves into
their personal struggles to keep it all together while dealing with
addiction. This struggle and eventual success is one of the things
that make Dave Mustaine and Megadeth as a band so compelling. They
went through it all and then some, and they came out the other end
of it. It's one of the things we have in common. I am proud to have
had a small hand in their sobriety during this period of their
career. This book is a must read for metal fans. Herein lies their
story-Glory, Destruction and Redemption."--Alice Cooper

time."--Metal Talk
