Dave Mustaine: MEGADETH; The CANCER and His LEGACY (Gibson 2021)

Gibson TV documentary where Dave Mustaine narrates his life and career. He details his "abnormal" childhood [00:00:59], his departure from Metallica, and the formation of Megadeth, whose name came from a pamphlet [00:17:21]. He describes the difficulties of the initial tours and the experience of being a "producer" on the *Killing Is My Business...* album with a budget of only $4,000 [00:22:39]. He discusses milestones such as the title of 'Peace Sells' [00:26:56] and the recruitment of Marty Friedman, whose audition was so impressive that "the heavens opened" [00:35:42]. On a personal level, he recounts his overdose and near-death experience [00:45:21], the Saturday night palsy that left him unable to play [00:47:02], and his battle with throat cancer, where a doctor told him: "you have the big C" [00:51:03]. Finally, he shares his vision of his legacy, hoping to be remembered as more than just a "big scary monster" [00:58:48].
