They became titans of speed metal, but while Megadeth was thrashing music onstage they were trashing themselves off it. For years, the man who brought Megadeth to life was in a race to oblivion.

Your Opinions and Comments

Megadeth are considered one of the big four metal bands of the `80s alongside Slayer, Anthrax and Metallica ( which Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine used to be in ). This documentary looks at the band`s entire career and has a lot of focus on not only the music but also the band`s drug habits.
This is a very interesting documentary which has lots of information about the band.

The picture quality is generally excellent. Some of the archive material is of slighly poor quailty but this is due to its age. The sound is also very good and sounds great when some of the band`s tunes are sampled.

Extras include the video for Moto Pyscho from the band`s latest release, The World Needs A Hero, a discography. vital statistics, web links and outtakes/bonus footage. Not bad considering the lack of extras on some music DVDSs.

If you`re a fan of the band or like metal/rock documentaries in general, this is worth buying. If not, don`t bother.
