After the controversy surrounding the book Rust In Peace Megadeth drummer Nick Menza , the artist's family authorized the production of the documentary This Was My Life , based on his life and career.
The film, produced by Holly Mollohan , will be, according to her, "an unflinching exploration of the life of one of the most successful thrash metal drummers of all time, authorized by the Menza family. From his childhood to the end of his life, including a true step-by-step account of the repeated failed attempts to form the classic Rust In Peace ."
“ This Was My Life will also feature rare and never-before-seen photos and videos from Nick's personal VHS tape collection, personally filmed by Nick Menza himself from 1988 to 1991, with exclusive content showing Nick working in the studio, personal home movies, everyday and party moments with the other band members, as well as other well-known bands from the time with whom Nick toured,” says the production description.
Nick's longtime manager, Robert Bolger , who was one of the biggest opponents of the publication of the book Rust In Peace , undoubtedly has different opinions about the documentary. “I’m very excited to be working with Screaming Butterfly Entertainment on Nick’s official documentary. There’s a lot of incorrect information published about Nick that isn’t true, and I’m very happy to bring out the truth. Nick loved his fans and always said, without the fans, none of this would be possible. I really think Nick’s fans will enjoy this journey through his life.”
