Description

This episode of the acclaimed VH1 documentary series became the definitive biographical account of Megadeth for over a decade. The special explores the band's founding after Dave Mustaine's departure from Metallica, the rapid ascent to stardom in the thrash metal world, and chronic internal conflicts. The main focus is on Mustaine's struggle with addiction, the moments of tension with David Ellefson, and the lineup instability, providing candid interviews with key members (past and present in 2001) that illuminate the personal and professional challenges the band faced to reach the pinnacle of global metal. Although a television program, it is an essential audiovisual document for any Megadeth fan.
