Reviews

[Alan Morales]

Dave Mustine biography is a fascinating one. He was and still is a very influential member of the Metal community. A part of that, being my favorite musician on the genera of Trash metal for many, he is a great example of what determination and courage it takes to become a legend. A rad read!
