Neat!

I don't read hardly any biographies, auto or not. Must have saw a blurb somewhere on this one. This was written by Dave during lockdown to keep from being bored. So you can hear his voice clearly. In fact I think I'll get the audio version sometime as he is the person reading it.

Hard not to know who Dave is. But how he got to today is not what I expected and he's describes the road well. I think you could say this is a kind of highlight reel but with great feeling.
I'd really like to meet his Mother. I'll leave it to you to read this and figure out why.

Review of 'The Storyteller' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I found the book particularly interesting for the early years in David’s career and the awesome musicians he met and played with along the way. The prose is simple and it sometimes feels like he tried too hard to be polite and avoided raising waves - a solid contrast to Dave Mustaine’s autobiography I’ve read long ago. The Nirvana era takes about one chapter - you’ll probably find other better suited books if that’s what you’re looking for.
