This episode details the tumultuous life and career of heavy metal pioneer Dave Mustaine. Kicked out of Metallica in 1982, the bad boy of rock forged his revenge by forming Megadeth. His mission statement for his new band: " ... to be the fastest, utmost furious, heavy metal band ever." Five line-ups, sixteen trips to rehab, one near-death experience, and over twenty million albums later, Megadeth has more than made an indelible mark in metal. The "Behind the Music: Megadeth" premiere coincides with the band's latest album release, "The World Needs a Hero."
