Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir

You might not think books are something important in Metal, but it seems that lately many metal artists are sharing their life stories with us through Memoirs and autobiographies. Ozzy's book, "I Am Ozzy" Came out last year, Nikki Sixx's "The Heroin Diaries" came out the year before that, and this year we're getting the long story of Dave Mustaine in his upcoming book "Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir". Sure the title's not as Catchy as the previous two books, but I'm sure it'll be great - after all, Megadeth is known for having lots of stories, like the infamous feud with Metallica or the lineup changes, and who better to tell the stories than the Duck Singer himself?

Right now, the Book is available for preorder at Amazon for $17.95 and Borders.com for $25.99, and I highly suggest that all of you go out and preorder it as soon as you can! It has a set release date of August 3, 2010 for the US while the UK gets their own version, "Mustaine: A Life in Metal" (Which also has VASTLY superior cover art, as well as a tag-line from "Sweating Bullets") on September 30.

But that's not all! Mustaine himself is also going to be going on tour for Signings of the Book while he's on the American Carnage Tour with Slayer and Anthrax (I'm actually kind of hoping Metallica tags along for some of the shows before they officially bring the Big Four Tour to the States), so check out the website for the book to find out when Dave is coming to YOUR town. Michigan Folks like myself can expect him to be in Novi, MI at the Borders on Crescent Blvd on August 19 at 12PM.
