David Ellefson
Faith, hope, and heavy metal
In My Life with Deth, cofounder and bassist of Megadeth David Ellefson reveals the behind-the-scenes details of life in one of the world's most popular heavy metal bands. If you're looking for revelations, they're here, including the drug habits that brought the band members to their knees. You'll learn of David's unsuccessful attempts at rehab and the period when he was strung out on methadone, cocaine, and heroin - all at the same time.
But My Life with Deth is far more than just another memoir of debauchery. Ellefson also shares the story of his faith journey, which began when he decided his only choice for survival was to get free from his addiction. In his recovery, he returned to his childhood roots in the Lutheran church and embraced his Christianity, which continues to inform his life and work today.
In the pages of this book, you'll find insightful comments from some of the biggest names in heavy metal, along with life lessons for every listener. Whether religious or not, you'll be enthralled, informed, and inspired by this tell-all book on discovering meaning in a life of rock and roll.

Where does My Life with Deth rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In terms of all the autobiography books I've listened to, I'd give this one 3.5 stars. It is informative, deep, and honest. On the other hand, it is read by David at 1.2x speed. I thought for a moment I had my speed setting too high. However, it is very enjoyable, and would listen to it again.What did you like best about this story?
His honesty, depth, and as always - David just being David.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I can only assume the fast reading was a bit due to his inexperience. Otherwise, he read his book very well, and I enjoyed it.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I finished it in two days. Loved it.Fast, but informative

I was a listener more than an avid fan of Megadeth back in the 80s/90s but love a good music biog, and being a bassist, David is well up there with the greats of the genre but this book just didn’t cut it.
The quotations at the start of every chapter got a bit annoying and those too went all biblical too. 🙄
Dave’s foreword states he didn’t want to write this book and it kind of shows in the lack of effort put into it.
David has a great audiobook voice and the narration was pleasant but I felt this story lacked detail and substance. Like the book Mustaine, Dave (Sr.)’s autobiography, about half way in it goes all ‘God squad’ and gets very boring.
Worth a read (or listen if you get the audiobook like I did) but not great.
Worth a listen but not great.
