One of the most aired episodes of VH1’s Behind The Music the Megadeth episode was full of rock and roll ruin and redemption that was so bizarre that you might have thought it was complete fantasy had you not witnessed it with your own eyes and ears. Here now is that classic episode along with a full half-hour of material deemed too extreme or controversial for airing. The time has come to dump your ratty VHS copy in favor of this DVD my Metal brothers and sisters.
The main story here is of course the devastation that Dave Mustaine and his revolving door of sidekicks left in their wake while forging the template for all speed metal. Here you will re-learn how the Megadeth flame was ignited by Mustaine’s dismissal from Metallica and just how many times that flame was nearly snuffed out by Mustaine’s dance with drugs and drink. Ultimately Mustaine gets clean, finds happiness in most aspects of his life and puts together what many, myself included, see as the ultimate Megadeth lineup. You may know most of the story but here are the pictures to prove it.
Beyond the extra interviews and never before seen footage of Megadeth in action there is the full “Moto Psycho” video that, due to its release by an independent record company, is not likely to get another play on any significant music channel. This video captures Mega-Dave Mustaine and band owning just about every heavy metal cliché known and not once do you think to laugh; it is all just too genuine. Like the title of the latest
Megadeth disc the world does need a hero and here is the story of that hero, kryptonite poisoning and all.
metalifuk - 5/9/2005 7:10:07 PM fuck nemesis511 all of metallicas early albums ruled you fucking cunt. megadeth sucks fucking ass. daves voice sounds gay ass hell and I hate megadeths music. they are easily the most overrated band of all time. I've even bought acouple of their albums and they sucked. gay unimpressive vocals, and the music was'nt anything special.

B52 - 5/23/2004 8:30:59 AM ROCK FOREVER ! DISCO NEVER! MEGADETH'S THE BEST !
soldat150 - 2/14/2004 12:13:18 AM Dave is helluva lot better guitar player than anyone from Metallica,just listen to Daves solos.You can often hear someone say i can play metallica but very seldom you hear someone playing megadeth.Solos from older albums(and newer ones too)are very complicated,catchy and i just love em.Metallica is a very good band but i like megadeth better and mostly because Dave can really play guitar.
rattlehead911 - 2/13/2004 4:22:24 PM im a hardcore megafan and godsmack sucks. in fact they suck so bad along with that fuckin linkin park shit that if i saw you, i might just have to kick your ass because ive done it before. IF ANYONE TELLS YOU THAT MEGADETH SUCKS you better belt that son of a bitch in the mouth, even if it is the biggest blackest guy. To the real point of this rant This is an awesome dvd both behind the music and rude awakening.

"Album sales dont lie nemesis.I dont see megadeth headlining arenas.Megadeth a great band no doubt about that but Metallica are just giants in the metal world.ps you are kidding me piece sells is better than ride the lightning but thats your opion."
YOU ARE A DIPSHIT
Album Sales mean nothing, its all marketing.
Judging by that ignorance, Britney kicks arse through everyone!
When will people understand that album sales have nothing to do with musical ability.
Just look at the top 40.
The best bands of this world are underground, true music isn't appreciated by the masses, only by the few enlightened individuals among us.
death444 - 8/6/2002 5:34:22 PM did anyone seen the rude awakeing
death444 - 7/12/2002 9:55:11 AM Megadeth is the best
death444 - 7/12/2002 9:53:47 AM The behind the music thing was kind of boring because it show so much about the hard times in megadeth but the rest was great.I know that dave got injured but still maybe he stay in megadeth and just sing and get a new electric guitar player.thats what i think.
hellhammer13 - 4/6/2002 10:06:46 AM METALLICA EARNED THE RESPECT OF THEIR RECORD COMPANY,MEGADETH EARNED THR RESPECT OF A TRUE METALHEAD!
pureDETH - 2/23/2002 5:50:39 AM youthanasia is not the low point.
it's not just like the others.
FleshFactor - 2/22/2002 1:16:47 PM Do you really think Risk is worse than youthanasia? Risk is not that bad. True fans are willing to go on the journey that the musicians are willing to take trying to keep themselves fresh or trying to kill the boredom. But come on Youthanasia is truely the low point.
InnocentExile - 1/25/2002 1:01:25 PM Ithink they even had to prop him up in a chair at one point so he wouldn't fall over.Now that's what rock and roll is all about.
InnocentExile - 1/25/2002 12:29:59 PM My favorite part is when thay told the story of the making of the "No More Mr.Nice Guy" video where Dave was so fucked up,he couldnt play guitar and lip-synch at the same time.That's fucking hilarious!Love him or hate him,Dave Mustaine will be remembered one way or another unlike most musicians of the day.
SHE_L_A_69 - 1/25/2002 9:55:19 AM MEGADETH!!! WHAT ELSE IS THERE!
Tango_Charlie - 1/25/2002 9:22:12 AM Buy Crue's Behind the Music instead - for a better rock n roll tale. Tc
