Rust in Peace details the making of Megadeth's iconic record, Rust
In Peace, which was released in 1990, at an incredible time of flux
and creativity in the rock world. Relayed by the lead vocalist and
guitarist songwriter of Megadeth himself, Dave Mustaine, the book
covers the process of hiring the band and supporting cast, of
trying to handle the ensuing success, and ultimately the pressure
of fame and fortune-which caused the band to finally break-up. In
short, it's a true story of groundbreaking anti-pop that was moving
toward the mainstream (or the mainstream that was moving toward the
band), at a time of great cultural change, power, ego, drugs, and
other vices that went hand-in-hand with Rock N' Roll, circa the
late eighties-early nineties. Little did Mustaine know that the
birth pangs of the record were nothing compared to the oncoming
pain and torment that would surround it. Alcohol, drugs, sex,
money, power, property, prestige, the lies the band was told by the
industry--and the lies they told each other--were just beginning,
and much like rust in real life, these factors would ultimately eat
away at the band's bond until only the music survived. Rust in
Peace is a story of perseverance, of scraping off the rust off that
builds over time on everything: ourselves, our relationships, pop
culture, art, and music.
