Dave Mustaine is a metal icon. His Musical genius and guitar mastery has kept MEGADETH going for more than 30 years. Mustaine was also a founding member of the band METALLICA.

We spoke about life on the road, beer, bands, and music. Dave, Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. How are things going? “Hey, just driving over to our storage facility to pack up all our gear on the trucks for the tour. Just making sure we have everything we need. It’s fun. It’s what I live for. I've got a great job.” Your tour lineup is chock full of amazing bands. How do you gather and choose these acts? “Contrary to all the mud slingers out there.

Bobbie Brown Dirty Rocker Boys Simon and Schuster Bobbie Brown has written a tell all auto biography and it is a damn good read. Sure, it is filled with sex and drugs and rock and roll decadence but beneath the grime and the smeared mascara is a woman who has seen it all and lived to tell about it.

So when the opportunity came to review his new Book, "I'm The Man", I jumped at the bonus chance to interview the man himself. Truly responsible for being a forerunner in the American Thrash Metal Movement, Scott and Anthrax are in the Pantheon of metal icons. His music is inspirational for so many bands, his guitar sledgehammer sound is a like a juggernaut of pure molten metal. He is onstage a force to be reckoned with.

The history of Anthrax is interwoven with tales of hard partying, and dreams when metal was still in its true infancy. This book presents the reader with a drone like view of the rough road to success. The book is one wild ride throughout his life and you feel drawn to th...
