Rust in Peace describes the process of creating Megadeth's iconic album, Rust In Peace, which was released in 1990, during a time filled with changes and creativity in the rock world. The book's author, Dave Mustaine, the main vocalist and guitarist of Megadeth, covers the process of hiring the band and the support team, the effort to manage the upcoming success, and the pressure of fame and fortune, which ultimately led to the band's dissolution.
It is a true story of revolutionary music moving towards mainstream during a time of significant cultural changes, power, ego, drugs, and other evils associated with rock, in the late '80s and early '90s. Mustaine had little knowledge that the difficulties during the album's creation were nothing compared to the agony and harrowing experience that would follow.
Alcohol, drugs, sex, money, power, fame, and the illusions created by the industry, as well as the deceptions they told each other, had just begun, and like rust in real life, these factors would eventually destroy the band's relationship until only the music remained. Rust in Peace is a story of persistence, clearing away the rust that accumulates over time in everything: ourselves, our relationships, pop culture, art, and music.
