11.19.2007 - Dave's Book?

Dear scorpion

I was reading your answer's archive, and I read that dave is writing a book.

What this book is all about? Will it contain Dave's history and also Megadeth's?

Please, i need more information about that! Dave's book..that's fantastic!

Earlier this year, Dave had this to say on the status of the book, which was tentatively entitled "Love and Bruises" and contains explanations of Megadeth lyrics: "The publishing company was owned by Sanctuary and folded, along with a lot of that company's plans, promises, and the dreams of the artists they sold them to. I got my book back, and they refunded the fans' money [from Amazon.com preorders], so we are all good up to this point, sans some embarrassment to and by the record company's publishing company. I am intent on releasing it at some point, but i may need to rethink this. My old manager had set up something for a new deal for another attempt at finding a publisher for the book, and the meeting was kind of a 'well, we like it, but you may want to do something different' which changes the premise and purpose of the book. I can do another book like that, but this is a book about the songs. There will be something, though, and i am journaling everyday of the tour so far for this record. But there isn't much to write about when you are playing every night, and it is just, go . . go . . . go . . go! So it is mostly stuff like a daily work log - meets - my warped sense of humor and the things i say and do that i don't get caught or in trouble for. Hope that helps"

As of this month, Dave confirms that the book is still "in the mothballs".
