9.21.2009 - Any books about Megadeth or Dave Mustaine?

Dear Scorpion, I've gotta simple question: will be any books about history of Megadeth and/or about Dave Mustaine? I would like to read it.

Here is the latest from Dave on his autobiography, which is completed and set for release next year:

"I finished approving my autobiography, and that was a labor of love. I got to the last page and I was so amazed as I was nearing the end, that by the time I got to the last page I started to have this amazing sense of completion. I felt like someone had finally gotten me into print, good and bad, with a sprinkling more of bad just for good measure. And by the time I got to the last two words of the book, I started to have an overwhelming wave of emotions; finally I feel like someone has looked into me; what makes me tick; why I am upset about the things that upset me; what makes me happy; why I have upsetting things in my life that I can't seem to shake; how I can continue to come back from the dead, etc., etc., etc..."

Other recent books featuring Dave and Megadeth include Metallica: Club Dayz 1982-1984 by Bill Hale, who is currently working on a photo book documenting Megadeth's early years, titled Megadeth: Another Time, A Different Place. Dave is listed at number one in Joel McIver's The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists, and a revised issue of Metallica: The Stories Behind the Biggest Songs, was released this month.

Metallica, The Club Dayz 1982-1984
ECW Press




Bill Hale is a photographer who worked for a music magazine and had the privilege of capturing in film some of the best shows that took place in the Holy Land of San Francisco when a new movement was about to emerge best known as “Bay Area Thrash”. This specific book possess an archival interest as it is full of photos cued from various Metallica club shows in an era when Ron McGovney and Dave Mustaine played bass and lead guitar respectively. Naturally, there are photos of the first appearances of Cliff Burton and Kirk Hammet with Metallica on stage while it is quite funny that Hale tried his best to make the band pose backstage with…mediocre results. After all, Metallica wasn’t famous back then for their “easy-going” character when it came down to photo-shooting!

Bill Hale’s photos may not have the quality or the perfect standards of Ross Halfin or Neil Zlozower but nevertheless he had succeeded in time-travel us to a time that seems (and is in many respects) far distant. Those were the days were Metallica had no money, were virtually unknown and tried to make it to the top having as their big weapon the compositions that laid the foundation of the thrash metal genre.

“The Club Dayz” is a book that is published mainly for the devoted Metallica fans and we must underline that it doesn’t feature many details for the legendary band. This is a book or even better a special time capsule with the unique characteristic to bring out special emotional charge to all those who have the luck to take a look through it.

Highlight: The famous Ron Quintana has written an introductory 3-page note.

Metallica - The Club Dayz 1982-1984



Author:Bill Hale
Publisher:ECW Press 2009
Distributor:IPG (Independent Publishers Group)

While Metallica is now one of the biggest bands in the world having approximately 100,000,000 albums sold worldwide, few of the millions of fans were lucky enough to see them live at the begining of their careers. Then Metallica begun at their magnificent course at various clubs. However the photographer Bill Hale was there and shows us an amazing photo album of the band with very rare material that deserves to see everyone. The Club Dayz is a collection of photos of the legendary band shot between 1982 and 1987. Among others you will see many pictures from the first season of the band with Dave Mustaine, Ron McGonvey (the first bass player of Metallica), Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield. You can also see Kirk Hammett kid still in Exodus, rare photographs of Cliff Burton, photos by other bands of that era and other real emotionally charged pictures. Also through the 112 pages of this wonderful book you will learn many unknown aspects of the complex. In a remarkable the excellent layout, but also the many great personalities who talk like John Strednansky of heavy rock-metal magazine, Metal Rendezvous, which brought the band into contact with Cliff Burton.

Metallica - The Club Dayz 1982-1984
Goldmine, May 8, 2009 by Popoff, Martin

"Metallica - The Club Dayz 1982-1984" by Bill Hale: Photographer Bill Hale was right there at the germination of this mega-band and many others, and in these rare photos, he's captured the raw metal energy of those early sweaty shows - six of them to be exact, but including a ton of cool backstage hijinks to make the book flow with a smile pasted across yer face.
Actually, what adds a great richness to this slim tome is the heady insiders' text from Ron Quintana, Scott Earl and John Strednansky, all mere boys and buds of the band and making their own (mostly journalistic) impacts along with this band that just might go somewhere some day. Additional pro wordsmithing is by Bob Nalbandian (now of the Shockwaves podcasts), who was also part of the gang, making this a near-complete, friendly, alcoholic singalong to a magic past - missing is only Metal Blade's Brian Slagel.
Dave Mustaine's here, as is original bassist Ron McGovney, there's Kirk Hammett's first show, the now-deceased Cliff Burton's first show, even shots of Hammett with Exodus and one Jason Newsted playing the beery Jon Lord. And if that ain't enough, spot all the other musicians and biz folk from those crazy days, usually bathed in sweat and beer with a leer with someone giving the finger near.
