Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Inspired Luke Perry Film Character
. (Classic Rock) Actor Luke Perry says his character in an upcoming film was based partly on Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine. Perry stars as a rocker who has to overcome injuries and emotional turmoil in The Beat Beneath My Feet, released on May 12. And the former Beverly Hills 90210 star says Mustaine's sacking from Metallica and the 2002 arm injury that almost left him unable to play guitar inspired his work in the film. Perry Tells the Irish Independent: "I thought about the gentleman from Megadeth - Dave Mustaine. He was a guy who had a lot of trouble in his life because of different issues. He got asked to leave one band and started up his own. Something happened to his arm and he was challenged physically to play the guitar. "I thought, 'There's something inside that guy that really drives him to overcome all those things and find his way back to making music.' So I wondered about that a lot when thinking about the challenges he had to overcome, so there may have been part of where that came from." Read more here.
