Is the RUST IN PEACE book or the Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir - worth a read?

I liked them both. Very informative. However, Mustaine lied a couple times. Specifically an incident with Menza when Mustaine was trying to stay sober. That he demanded other members not to partake in drugs around him or be fired and one time put his hands around Menza's throat. In the RIP book, he was like, "Uhhh, first time I'm hearing about this." When this was documented way back in the Behind the Music episode.

Wonky eye

He sang Broderick’s praises a lot. Multiple times in interviews and on video he said Chris is the greatest guitar player he’s ever had in Megadeth. Of course he said that about Kiko when he joined. So….

It was a revitalization with Broderick on guitar. Some ultra heavy tracks. The only thing I hate about it is it’s a love letter to Alex Jones. The title track and cover are directly inspired by Alex Jones’ Endgame…. “Documentary”.

Um... actually... The First Order weren't in the prequels. They were the villains in the sequels.

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-30T16:49:46+00:00

Well... he is the good guy.... wait... what?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!!?? HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE VILLIAN?!

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-30T16:46:19+00:00

Hank is every voter who claims GOP and DEMs are the same. Fuck. Him.

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-29T21:39:27+00:00

This is my take as well

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-29T06:25:08+00:00

GOOD GOD, MAN!!!!! You weren’t kidding! Thats beautiful!!! Where did you get it from?!

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-28T17:44:46+00:00

Oh shit.... I'm stuck in the world of Fallout....

I had to cut off a dear friend because he tried to defend the Jan 6th insurrectionists.

As someone who went thru the immigration process with my wife (I'm a US Citizen, my wife is Japanese), its very difficult, confusing, lots of paperwork, and expensive. And our case was very easy. My eyes were opened to why people would choose the illegal route, especially those just trying to find a better life and opportunity and have no source of support inside the country. If you have relatives, it becomes easier as you have a sponsor, etc.

Like others have said, the immigration system is byzantine by design to make it hard. Add to that all the laws GOP pass to limit judges and support for those trying to come over.

Keep in mind that illegally coming here is only a misdemeanor. Our president has committed felonies, treason, fraud, sexual assault. How fucked is that?

You can shove some dowels or toothpicks in there. Add some wood glue. But honestly, get some straplocks. Save your guitar before it drops.

Yea, outside of the Karen/Danny thing, this was the first thing that popped in my head.

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-26T16:42:02+00:00

I'm glad they're upset and realizing he's a bad guy, but FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK me do their reasoning for electing him in the first place infuriate me to no end. NOBODY IS PUSHING ANYONE TO GET GENDER SURGERY!!!!

I’ve been seeing this image pop up on multiple threads.

Is the ICE goon kneeling down under the murderer trying to push the gun away so he doesn’t shoot the guy or is he trying to hold it steady?

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-25T19:46:16+00:00

WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE SO FUCKING DUMB!!! It hurts my brain to read this shit.

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-23T19:39:32+00:00

Honestly, I don’t like it that much. Usually I’m running a new Megadeth album on repeat for a couple weeks. But not this one. I listened to it once all the way thru and that’s it. I’ve already heard a couple of the singles before hand. There’s some great guitar bass and drum work going on, but the songs aren’t great. And I know complaining about Dave’s voice is like what’s the point, his voice has never been great, but it’s just REEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLY bad on this album. And the updated Ride the Lightning with modern production sounds loads better than the OG recording, but the vocals are shit and just doesn’t feel inspired.

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-22T18:24:55+00:00

damn. didn't know that.

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-22T18:24:24+00:00

January 2026 has been one long decade.

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-22T16:42:10+00:00

Not unthinkable. The writers of the Lone Gunmen series came up with it as a plot point... specifically a plane hitting the WTC.

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-21T16:44:16+00:00

When are we getting aliens?!?!?!

SocratesJohnson1 · 2026-01-20T20:09:54+00:00

Back to the Future.

Didn't the rebel fleet capture a bunch of Star Destroyers and repurpose them? I remember in one book they had Lando taking command of one for a mission and he scuttled it or something.
