Yesterday, September 9, Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine participated in his first, highly successful online Live Signing & Discussion with Premiere Collectibles to promote his new autobiography Rust In Peace: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece.

In addition to a surprise appearance of his dog, when asked about a specific guitar part in the song “Five Magics” from Rust In Peace, Mustaine spontaneously got up, found his guitar, plugged into an amp, and treated fans to an unexpected guitar demonstration as he walked online participants through the guitar riff.

He also takes a hard look at the music landscape of the late '80s / early '90s.
