I remember people being surprised by the addition of Friedman to the band, because he was known as a Shrapnel shredder. He turned out to be the perfect fit, and the album became a bona fide classic.
@@guitarmeetsscience Not to Bragg as I hate Egos but I seen Dave twice. Once was New year's Eve w Pantera and black sabbath bout97-98. Love em all man.
The album sits at the pinnacle peak of my favorite Heavy Metal back to back albums: Black Sabbath’s Black Sabbath & Paranoid. Master of Reality & Volume 4. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath & Sabotage. Ozzy’s Blizzard of Ozz & Diary of a Madman. Metallica’s Kill ‘em All & Ride the Lightning. Master of Puppets & In Justice For All. Slayer’s Seasons in the Abyss, & Decades of Aggression. Sepultera’s Arise & Chaos A.D., Pantera’s Cowboys from H£ll & Vulgar Display of Power. Megadeth’s Rust In Peace & Countdown to Extinction, & Suicidal Tendencies’s How Will I Laugh Today When I Can’t Cry Tomorrow & Lights…Camera…Action…🤟🏼
Hands down my favorite Megadeth album and the lineup on it is imo the quintessential lineup for the band...not a single throwaway song, Menza doesn't get enough credit for the sick playing and lets not even start talking about the Tornado of Souls solo from Marty❤ RIP forever
Well, I am simple man, I see Rust in Peace, I click on the link. All seriously though, give me a black board and I can spend a full day talking about Rust in Peace. From Marty's gorgeous off-note bends, suspended chords, riff texture perfection, articulation masterpiece.... to lyrics, how crazy it is to have a song about a pair of nuclear missiles from the 1980s, that are grabbing to each other about their destructive powers (such an anthropomorphic shit that in a poetry or book would be considered high art), while a groovy-blues thrash influenced riff is playing in the background like the two weapons were chatting in a bar. Yes, Rust in Peace is that crazy, poetic, great and immortal. Just give me a black board and 24 hours of your time :)
Even though I enjoy the darker tone and composition of Peace Sells a little more, I can't not say that Rust in Peace is an album that will forever stand in the top. The aggression, the complexity, the ideas, the variation from track to track is a lightning in a bottle. Megadeth were hell bend on creating the best album ever, and they succeeded!
Jeff Loomis auditioned for Megadeth when he was 16 years old. Dave Mustaine was impressed by Loomis's fast playing, but decided that Loomis was too young to join the band.
My buddies and I are in a band together, we have been playing for 6 years, and I have been playing guitar for longer, but we still have not gotten near that playing any of those songs. Especially Hanger 18. 😳 we’ll get there eventually, but it just shows the insane amount of effort out into rust in peace. It’s truly a beautiful work of art
This album is the top thrash album for me. I remember seeing it in the BMG and Columbia House catalogs back in the day and thinking that the album had to be something out of this world with the artwork. I heard Symphony of Destruction and when I found out that it was the same band got both albums immediately and never looked back. Youthanasia came along afterwards and Megadeth replaced Metallica as the best metal band. I still think Megadeth is better to this day.
Pretty damn cool take Chris!! I remember those Colombia house deals lol, I got in trouble for ordering those a couple times 🤣 one penny - you can't beat it lol
In the fall of 1990, I bought FLICK OF THE SWITCH album on cassette tape. It's AC DC. When i bought the cassette home, put it in the stereo, it was actually RUST IN PEACE album. What happened? I had no idea at the time who it was but I couldn't stop listening to it. I went for a few good months not even knowing who it was. My friends were not even sure at that particular time. Everything on the cassette tape was labeled as if it were AC DC "FLICK OF THE SWITCH" album.
I was right in high school when this album came out. Jaw on the floor then. Jaw on the floor now. Mustaine had never been able to recapture that magic.
@guitarmeetsscience I agree, I think as the years have gone by its my favorite metal album to this day. And I'm not even a Megadeth fan boy or anything. I think Mustiane is pretty much a jacka$$ egomaniac I'd never ever want to hang out with😂. Just a great great album, can't be denied!
@@guitarmeetsscienceThey were friggin tight, loud, and heavy as a live act too. I didn't see them on the RIP tour but saw them on the CDTE tour and they were one of the best live metal bands I ever saw.
@doanepoole6640 so true - I wouldn't exactly want to hang out with him either (apparently James, Kirk, Lars, and Cliff when he was alive would agree with us both too lol) but damn he has made some great music over the decades. 🤘🤘
By far top 3 best albums of that era. And still.. Nothing comes close to match that energy or technicalities. A true genre defining album.. love or hate dave... Megadeth. To overlook this is. Polaris.. A song.. From the warheads point of view
Everything about this album is a 10.. except there's something not quite right with the production. Guitars are just a little bit buzzy. Compare it to Reign In Blood for example. It's still probably the greatest thrash album of all time. I guess we can't have perfection in this world :)
Really enjoying the videos but I feel like there’s a disconnect between the writing and the way it’s read. Between the frequent mispronunciations, the weird emphasis of certain words and syllables, and the sort of bored sounding delivery it sounds like you payed someone who knows nothing about metal or guitar to read it. Again, really enjoying, I’m literally mid-binge but I’ve felt inclined for the last like 4 videos to say something so here we are
Oh man.... I freaking died laughing reading this comment. And no I'm not laughing at you, I really relate with what you say. I have a bad speech impediment and it comes through, but I keep marching on. Even with all of that I love telling the stories, but when I read this comment out and my wife was sitting there we both totally lost it and started cracking up saying "yes finally - that's what I have been telling you all along" lmao. I'm always on the path to improvement, but man is definitely a hard road. I appreciate your honesty and candidness, and I also appreciate you checking out multiple videos that's really cool! Thank you! 🤘🤘
Peace sells was and is the most overrated Megadeth album in existence. It's not as great as people make it out to be. So far so good was way better and had more memorable songs. The first 3 in general had horrible production but So far had better songs in general. Nothing comes close to Rust In Peace though. That is their pentacle. That's not opinion either, it's 😅fact, yo! Destroy hip hop and rap...long live real music.

Nobody could touch early Megadeth at that time. I remember when RIP came out. I was completely blown away. It's such an adventurous and solid album.
That was definitely their golden era!
I remember people being surprised by the addition of Friedman to the band, because he was known as a Shrapnel shredder. He turned out to be the perfect fit, and the album became a bona fide classic.
You have to be the best if you want to be in Megadeth. Dave is a genius. He doesn’t settle for unworthy musicians.
I bought Rust In Peace in 1990, my first Megadeth album. It still holds up today, along with Peace Sells. Great vid.
@@Cugelclever Right on man - thank you so much I'll let you enjoyed it!
Seen this line up and was BLOWN AWAY.
RIP NICK
Had to have been pretty damn awesome live!

Tornado of Souls is such a timeless song
@@DanielAspajo9930 oh yeah!
Rust In Peace is still my #1 thrash metal album, only because of its technicality... Love that album.
I listen to many genres of music. RIP isn't just the best metal album cover to cover it is THE BEST album of them all.
The greatest thrash metal album of all time. Rust in Peace
Appetite and Rust in Piece are my two desert island records
THIS WAS THE BEST LINE UP MEGADETH EVER HAD IF YOU ASK ME.
SPECALY WITH NICK AND MARTY.❤
Legendary line-up for sure.
I never knew Chris played on some of the demos. His soloing style sounded great on them. He’s always got that jazzy alien vibe.
I really dig Chris's style
My buddies and I are in a band together, we have been playing for 6 years, and I have been playing guitar for longer, but we still have not gotten near that playing any of those songs.

This album got me into Metal back in 91. 'Holy Wars' is still state of the art.
Oh yeah! These guys really did their own to kick metal into high gear

Pretty damn cool take Chris!! I remember those Colombia house deals lol, I got in trouble for ordering those a couple times 🤣 one penny - you can't beat it lol
It's THE best thrash album.
Definitely quintessential when it comes to thrash for sure!
Top 3 metal album of all time maybe my #1.
Totally burns from start to finish
Great work on the vids man! Super fun to watch
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
Love getting to know the history of my favourite albums😃🎸 great video
Thank you so much Susan!! 🙏

Hahahahaha what a "flick of the switch" hahaha awesome story!!! 😂
@guitarmeetsscience yes and no internet to check it. Total 1990.
Haha yep
RIP is the greatest metal album of all time... fight me....
I'll fight along side with you man :D
🤘🤘
I have no fight in me against that statement.🤘
It's the best album of all time. No qualifiers needed.
Imho the best thrash metal album of all time
I was right in high school when this album came out. Jaw on the floor then. Jaw on the floor now. Mustaine had never been able to recapture that magic.
There was just something about that album where it's like the planets aligned

Man i just put this one on the turntable yesterday 🤘🤘🤘🤘 blasted the $hit out of it too...
Hahaha Right on Dave!!! One hell of a burning album 🤘🤘
thank u for these videos 🙏🏾 these are awesome to watch
@@kyzzxyx Thank you! I'm really glad that you enjoy them. That makes my day!
Great Vid man!
@@VARVIS_ Thank you bro I appreciate it!
Nick Menza had some floppy damn cymbals.
great video about one of the greatest albums ever !
Thank you so much!!! 🙏
Could you imaging Megadeth with Dime! Gave me chills thinking about it!
That would be a wicked lineup!
Oh no doubt! I seen dime play live on the 101 proof tour! Phil was a wreck, but dime was on it!
I could see that..... But Dime always brought the goods!
Reb Beach would have been NUTS in Megadeth.
Haha yep he would!
Great video!!!
Thanks man, I appreciate it! 🙏
By far top 3 best albums of that era. And still.. Nothing comes close to match that energy or technicalities. A true genre defining album..
love or hate dave... Megadeth. To overlook this is.
Polaris.. A song.. From the warheads point of view
If Fox Mulder was in metal he would be Dave
Rust In Peace > Midtallica's entire discography.
no:(
Nah
Your opinion is nice , but yours
@@skyskyisurmom yes.
@@luqie3593 cope.
say what you want about Dave, but NOBODY puts on clothes quicker than he does 8:58
🤣🤣🤣 good catch lmao

Prefer Megadeth over Metallica
Imagine megadeth with the abbott brothers tho
Thank god they didn't join Megadeth. Nick Menza and Marty Friedman are way better than those two
Man that would have been insane!
Oh Yeah !!!
🤘🤘
Many thanks as always Guitar Meets Science
Thank you bro - I'm glad you dug it! 🙏
Make sure you get the original recording, not the remastered version (vocals were re-recorded due to originals being lost or stolen).
Dave actually helped another band go to the top. You ever heard of Metallica? 😂😂😂
Metallica? Aren't they that polka band from the Poconos? 🤣
@guitarmeetsscience 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
🤘🤣🤘
🤘🏼
🤘🤘
An absolute heavy metal masterpiece, until Metallica's infamous black album came along the following year and totally eclipsed it.
Metallica can on wish to make an album as good as Rust In Peace
can you make a video on peace sells and killing is my business since they are better than ru st in peace
I plan on it eventually Thank you

Wtf is a pentacle
Go talk BS about Peace Sells somewhere else
You need to understand time, genre, ability and talent. If the music is good, it doesn't matter. Listen to UFO and you will hear why.
