History
Dave Mustaine was born in La Mesa, California, to Emily and John Mustaine. His mother is Jewish but Dave was brought up as a Jehovah's Witness. By the age of 17, Mustaine had rented his own apartment and was surviving financially by dealing drugs. One of his clients, Willow, was often short of cash, but worked in a record store, so in return for drugs, she offered albums by artists such as AC/DC, Motörhead and Judas Priest in trade, which helped form his taste in heavy metal. In the late 1970s, Mustaine began playing electric guitar, most notably a B.C. Rich and joined a band known as Panic for a short time.
