Megadeth “Countdown to Extinction” 20th Anniversary
Consequence of Sound: “Before he became a botoxed spewer of conspiracy theories and Rick Santorum endorsements, Dave Mustaine was the archetypal underdog — the former Metallica guitarist who was exiled, disenfranchised, and cast out to fend for himself.
