Dave Mustaine, widely regarded as the "founding father" of Thrash
Metal, almost singlehandedly created the enduring multiplatinum
style that launched both Megadeth and Metallica into the public's
consciousness. From 1985's Killing Is My Business . . . and
Business Is Good to the most recent Endgame, with more than twelve
album releases with Megadeth, Mustaine has left a legacy of music
that has been described as everything from "poignant" to
"insightful" to "angry" to "ironic." Megadeth earned eight Grammy
nominations and six platinum certifications. Mustaine lives in San
Diego County, California.
An award-winning journalist and bestselling author, Joe Layden has
written more than thirty books, including The Last Great Fight,
which was named one of the best sports books of 2007 by Sports
Illustrated and the American Library Association. He is also the
co-author of the New York Times bestsellers There and Back Again
and The Rock Says. . . . He lives in upstate New York.
