Hangar 18 is Dave Mustaine’s take on a famous conspiracy theory, not to be missed by any fan of the genre. Plus I’m just a sucker for songs related to aliens and UFOs. It was their best lineup (rest in peace Nick Menza) and had some of their most ambitious material. “I consider Rust in Peace to be the pinnacle of quality for this band. I forgot I’d scheduled this Post to ‘publish’ automatically on Wednesday – which means it went ‘live’ before I added this great quote by Mike “LeBrain” Ladano. Of course, the opening tape noise didn’t hurt, but that opening riff established the tone in a hurry! I like when an album gets my attention right off the bat. Notably on Lucretia, Tornado of Souls…actually most of the songs! To view Rust in Peace as a stand-alone successĪs my friend HMO would say, a running time of 40 minutes is a golden running time. Without comparing them to that other band? The band fonts aren’t exactly dissimilar (alas, neither opted for Comic Sans MS) and I’d wager 90% of people my age arrived at Megadeth via Metallica (and not vice versa).Ĭan I appreciate Megadeth as a stand-alone band? In fairness to Dave, he’s not alone in finding Metallica & Megadeth to be inextricably linked. It didn’t matter to Mustaine, as all he could see was the relative lack of commercial success compared to Metallica. The author, Mark Manson, argued that Mustaine used ‘lousy’ (my slightly gentler term) metrics to measure his life.ĭespite selling 25 million records with Megadeth, Mustaine considered himself a failure because the band he was kicked out of (Metallica) had sold many more. It’s an interesting read, with a particularly engaging chapter about Dave Mustaine. That shows the high quality of the hard rock and metal bands still waiting induction.Have you read the book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck? While this is the band’s fourth album, it is their first with their classic lineup and ultimately established Megadeth as not just a great band, but a genre titan. You probably could have a mostly Metal RRHOF ballot and nobody would blink. Welcome to my third review, of Megadeth’s 1990 album, the almighty Rust In Peace. Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Ozzy Solo, Queensryche, Scorpions etc. Megadeth is rising as 1 of the biggest snubs out there. The songs and videos are intelligent and well-thought out. In September 1990, Megadeth unleashed this album onto the world their now legendary fourth album titled ‘Rust In Peace’. There is one in particular though, when named, is rarely followed by debate. Songs like Foreclosure Of A Dream and Train Of Consequences are not just thrown together. Megadeth is in the unique position where more than one of their albums can be argued as their most influential and popular release. It's great technical guitar playing and intelligent songs. Megadeth have just crafted excellent albums for over 35 years. Peace Sells really stood out as a great album. I remember first buying the Peace Sells Who's Buying cassette as a young KING in the middle 1980's. Dave Mustaine has lived long enough and earned the respect of a music legend. Originally released on September 24, 1990, the album accentuates the progressive. I say strange because Metallica was inducted over a decade earlier. Rust In Peace is the fourth studio album by thrash metal band Megadeth. Strange Megadeth still waiting for a nomination.

Megadeth - Rust In Peace Album Cover by Megadeth. "Countdown" won an Emmy because it was recognized for it's significance. The importance of "Rust in Piece", Youthanasia", and "Countdown to Extinction" in terms of fighting political injustices are what "Metal" is at it's very core. No album has embodied the spirit of "Thrash" like " Rust in Peace", they captured more notes in that album than many bands have in their entire career. Dave Mustain had to created a new technique, "Spider Cords" to achieve the sound he wanted, that's amazing all by itself when you consider all the great before him. Megadeth's not just one of the big 4 but hands down, leagues above any thrash band, in terms of technical execution, writing, and musical innovation. But Megadeth has been significantly impactful to not just metal but music as a whole, and though never truly getting the recognition they deserve, Megadeth deserves to be honored for their substantial importance. Run DMC were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before bands like Rush, Judas Priest, and Megadeth, so I don't think Dave Mustain really care.
