This book was released in 2020, so it means that it was written in 2019 or before, meaning, pre-pandemic, another world, even for the own Megadeth story. Things happened after that already. But that’s a good thing actually about bands books, they can always write more books because there are always new stories and new perspectives and points of views, depending on the context, for the band, and for the world. Just look and many famous bands like Beatles, or Pink Floyd, many of the original members are dead and they are still writing about them. This is probable the third book I read about Megadeth. The others were the biographies of the member, Dave Mustaine and David Elefson.
I like biographies, it’s one of my favorite types of books. for a while I would only read biographies. I had a full shelf of biography books, from Amy Winehouse to Zeppelin. I grow up reading these rock start stories. I think this was one big influencer in my imaginay of Hollywood and Los Angeles, and one important factor when I decided to move to the U.S. Especially Megadeth. MEGADETH is one of my favorite metak bands, and their story influenced my own story. I even have tattoos and pictures with the band members. This book is like a collection of writings from band and family members, like journals and diaries written by different people. The reading is not very fluid, because it brakes down to a different character and a different point of view of the story. I think they wanted to have a book in celebration of the 30 years of Rust in Peace album, but it was not their best work honestly. But still it was intesting to read the perspective of the other members.
