Opening with an awesome gallop riff joined by drums, this album shows its hand early, unlike the other two: full throttle sonic power. Inspired by when Dave accidentally incited a religious riot at a concert in Ireland (yeah, that really happened), “Holy Wars” is about religious warfare. Holy Wars … The Punishment Due (Dave Mustaine) Not only that, Rust in Peace is arguably the most revered metal album of all time and a definitive closing page in the ‘golden era’ of heavy metal before grunge chased it back underground. I choose Rust In Peace because it provides an interesting compare/contrast and sense of progression from Metallica. When this album was released, it featured Because Dave wrote basically this entire album, Rust In Peace was written while in the darkness of addiction and rehab but recorded while the band was newly clean and on top of their game which gives it so much unique flair. Exhaustive auditioning eventually yielded Marty Friedman as a second guitar and Nick Menza on drums. After many, many stints in rehab, Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson eventually got clean. However, due to issues with drugs and Dave’s temper, the band had to cancel a huge tour and fired two members, leaving them in a broken state. After achieving moderate success with their first three albums, especially Peace Sells, the band was well established. Welcome to my third review, of Megadeth’s 1990 album, the almighty Rust In Peace. 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.Ī bit of history: After Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica, he decided to form his own rival band, as an act of pure revenge.
