    I want to check it out, but there is a serious lack of cash at the moment :( . I wonder if it was actually written by mustaine or a ghost writer. I know most rock books are done by a ghost writer but you never know with Mustaine.

    I read somewhere that he wrote most of it himself although there is a co-writers credit i believe to some New York Times journalist. I suppose most rock stars aren't natural writers(outside of song writing) and need help with structure and the like. How many of them,Mustaine included,remember half of their heyday i'll never know?!:p

    A Dickensonian life? Is that more interesting than a (Bruce) Dickinsonian life? Just as long as the Dickens isn't A Christmas Carol, I suppose ... :pac:
