DAVE MUSTAINE Discusses New MEGADETH Music – “It Sounds A Lot Like The First Couple Of Records…”

Eddie Trunk sat down with Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine for a special edition of Trunk Nation Virtual Invasion on SiriusXM’s Volume channel. Mustaine opens up about his health, his new book, Rust in Peace, and recording new material during quarantine. The Megadeth frontman says the band’s new music mostly resembles their first two records with guitarist Chris Poland and drummer Gar Samuelson, Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good! and Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?

Can catch the complete interview on Trunk Nation on SiriusXM’s Volume channel 106 this evening at 11 PM ET, as well as anytime on demand on the SiriusXM app.

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine's wife, Pamela Mustaine, has uploaded the video below, shot during the celebration for her husband's 59th birthday, this past Sunday (September 13).

She included the short message: "The happiest birthday boy!"

Rust In Peace: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece, by Dave Mustaine with Joel Selvin, was released on September 8. Order in a variety of limited edition autographed bundles here, and watch a short video trailer below.

A new book by the lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter of Megadeth, the original lead guitarist of Metallica, and the author of the New York Times bestseller, Mustaine.

Rust In Peace: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece 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 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: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece 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.
