Biography

The person that I'm going to do my bibliography on is actually one of the band members from my favorite band, Megadeth. His name is Dave Mustaine. You might not know a lot about Dave Mustaine now, but when your done reading with this bibliography, you will know more about him more then your little baby sister or little baby brother.

Dave Mustaine was born on September 13, 1961. He is now 47 years old. He was born in La Mesa, California. His full name is David Scott Mustaine. Dave Mustaine's parents are named, Emily Mustaine, and John Mustaine. Well, when he was still only a little boy, his mom and his dad had a divorce. When they got the divorce, he mostly spent his entire child hood growing up with his mom, not his dad. They hardly saw there dad at all. When he was 15 years old, he moved out of his mom's house and rented his own apartment. During his teenage years, hestarted listening to Iron Maiden, and a lot of other heavy metal bands which then, got him into the taste of heavy metal. After he started listening to heavy metal he started to play and learn the electric guitar. And then later in his life, he joined a band called Panic. When he was in the band named Panic, and he was performing songs and doing all a person in a band could do, he decided to join the band Metallica. And that's exactly what he did. In 1981 he left his original band named Panic, and auditioned for the band named Metallica to be the lead guitarist. He found out this WONDERFUL offer by reading the daily newspaper, in the section called,” Recycle". The person who put that ad in the newspaper was Metallicas drummer, Lars Ulrich. So he went to the audition and he was getting ready to play a song with them to see if he gots the "stuff" and he was on stage waiting for them but he can hear them talking to one another in a different room. So he was tired of waiting so he just went in the room where they were talking and said, "Do I have what it takes or not"? So then they thought about it for a little while and they said, "Yeah sure, you're in" just like that, he got the gig. After he got elected to be in the band, a few years later, Dave Mustaine got kicked out of the band, for good. He got kicked out because there were a lot of bad things that he did including to the band members. One of them was that once, he brought his dog to one of the rehearsals that the band was practicing at, and his dog then jumped onto the car of the bassists of the band, Ron McGovney. When the dog did that, it scratched some paint of the car and then the bassists (Ron McGovney) got REALLY anger and shouted at the dog and then kicked it. When Dave Mustaine saw this, his face light up in anger and then he pyshically hit the bass player. After this happened, the band kicked Dave out for a day. The next day Dave asked if he could be back in the band and the band said, "Yes". Another bad thing that he did was that once he was drinking a lot, and he became drunk. He then walked over to the bassist’s bass guitar and poured a lot of beer on it. And when the bassists went to go play it, it gave the bassists a HUGE electric shock. After that incident, the band finally voted that it was time for Dave Mustaine to be kicked out of the band permanently.

After all this drama has happened, he wanted to form his own band. In 1983, that's exactly what he did do. With a little help with other people, they formed a band that shall always be remembered. They named it...MEGADETH!! From time to time they sometimes changed band members, but the present day members are named: Dave Mustaine- The lead guitar, also vocals- Chris Broderick- Also guitarist, backing vocals-James Lomenzo- The bass, also backing vocals-and the last band member is Shawn Drover- he is the drums. The first few years of the bands carrier was bad, but then it started getting a lot better. Over the years Megadeth made a lot of albums and had huge success!! That's what makes them the most rocking band ever!!
