Behind the Music: Megadeth

For years, VH1 produced a television series called Behind the Music which chronicled the stories of various bands and popular artists. If you ask me, the single greatest episode produced for the series was the episode featuring Megadeth. As laid out in the episode, the story of Megadeth is an epic tale of envy and excess. A veritable roller coaster ride of personal triumphs and self-destructive drug binges. There's also plenty of life lessons that can be taken from the special. "If you're gonna snort three hundred to five hundred dollars worth of cocaine and heroine a day, every day, then you're gonna have money problems." Truer words were never spoken.
