Dave Mustaine (born September 13, 1961, La Mesa, California) has been a prominent heavy metal musician for over twenty years.
His parents divorced when he was seven, and he grew up bouncing around various low-income Southern California suburbs. As a teenager, he was often left on his own or with his sisters and their (sometimes abusive) husbands.
In 1981, he left the band Panic to join Metallica, serving as lead guitarist for two years before being fired in April of 1983 for his drug use and personality clashes with founding members Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield who had resolved to keep Metallica as a 'clean' band. It is said that tensions had existed in the band during that time, especially between Hetfield and Mustaine, and they both have made public comments that the arrangement was not an effective one.
According to the story, Ulrich had posted an ad in the local newspapers for a lead guitarist. Mustaine arrived, set up his amplifiers and started his sound check. So impressed were they with his sound check, that they immediately asked him to join them without even asking for a demo tape.
Mustaine returned to Los Angeles after departing Metallica and formed the heavy metal group Megadeth with bassist David Ellefson. Mustaine was the group's main songwriter during the 1980s. While the band began to achieve success, Mustaine's drug problems deepened as he became addicted to heroinHeroin or diamorphine ( INN) (colloquially referred to as junk, babania, horse, brown, smack, black tar, big H, lady H, dope, skag, juice, etc is an alkaloid opioid. Heroin is the 3,6- diacetyl derivative of morphine (hence diacetylmorphine and is synthes.

The band continued to release successful records on a regular schedule, even as it went through repeated turnover in musicians. Mustaine also collaborated on several projects with other musicians, including the band MD.45 with Lee Ving of Fear.
In January 2002, Mustaine suffered a compressed radial nerve in his left hand and arm, making it impossible for him to play guitar. In April of that year, Megadeth was disbanded.
Mustaine went through physical therapy for his injury, and began to explore other areas of the music industry, including production. However, he fully recovered from his arm injury following sucessful therapy and following his recovery, the Megadeth back-catalogue was remixed and remastered on Capitol Records.
