#203 Dave Mustaine - Megadeth Co-Founder & Frontman

So again, here I am, the last kid, getting the tough kid's blue jeans that are somebody else's already for a few years.

That's when I started really focusing. And the thought of me not being that person, not being a rock star, just didn't cross my mind because I had nothing else to, you know, it's like an officer and a gentleman where the guy says, I don't have anywhere else to go. I didn't.

Little weird stuff. Like I went with a little three-piece group that I was in for like a day. It was for a dance. And they were having a battle of the bands. And we only knew one song. And they said we were too loud. So we missed out on that one. I started playing at my cousin's house down in Dana Point. And we did several concerts down there.

You mean Panic? No, Megadeth was born there because the songs that are in Megadeth were being played in Panic at that time. So Megadeth was born at that time, although I didn't know it. I was in the guise of... panic, but really Megadeth had just broken surface as the terra firma. And now I'm gonna watch this whole thing unfold before my eyes. Am I gonna, am I gonna be able to handle the pressure?

I think so. I've had a lot of pressure in my life. Am I going to be able to stay relevant? I think so because I've had to almost teach myself because of dropping out of school and having to figure everything out for myself. Right now I'm writing a song on the art of war because I've got a song that just sounds like a fucking samurai song.

And I thought it'd be really great because I've read the art of war so many times to maybe put that book as a muse to help me write a story about something related with the samurai culture or the way of life. How did you get into the art of war? I've read a lot of really good books to help me.
