In 1983, a talented musician was kicked out of his band without any notice or warnings even though he had done nothing wrong. One fine day his team members just handed him a bus ticket to LA(his home). On his way back he had asked himself many questions like “What did I do wrong?” “What will I do now?” but he got over his self pity and decided to form a band of his own with musicians far more talented than the previous band group, be more famous than them, be more successful than they ever would be. So he worked really hard on his music, gathered musicians more talented than his previous band, and after a couple of years his band was about to go worldwide. His name was Dave Mustaine. And the band he created was Megadeth which would go to sell over 25 million albums. Today Mustaine is considered as one of the most brilliant and influtential musicians in the history of heavy metal music.

Unfortunately the band he was kicked out from was Metallica whose total album sale was around 180 million and was considered as one of the greatest rock bands of all time. In one of the interviews Mustaine said that he still considered himself as a failure even though he had immense success and fan all over the world. Despite all that he had acomplished, in his mind he would always be the guy who was kicked out of Metallica. Mustaine chose to measure himself whether he was more popular than Metallica and that reason made him a failure in his mind even after achieving what any average person would consider to be a dream.
