"Can Megadeth do this live?" Yes. I went to a concert and Megadeth played the entire Rust in Peace album. They were fantastic.

[@easchit]

Yup. I was there. Twice.

[@profanepersonality]

I can verify. Saw them play the entire album live. Motorhead was with them.

[@SpineRipper93]

American Carnage tour with Slayer playing all of Seasons in the Abyss. One of the best concerts Ive ever been to!

This whole album was Dave taking the rest of the industry to school. A technical marvel.

[@mykotron]

Yes... and another message to Metallica

[@F3502000]

They took the genre to school for sure with some songs off that album. But...just two years before that, Metallica released AJFA, which is a better album as a whole. Not every song on this album is good, every song on AJFA is good.

One of my favorite concerts ever was getting to see Megadeth do the entire Rust in Peace album. Perfection.

[@Salisboury]

The bummer is that they didn’t do that with the RIP lineup. Because I’m really wondering if Dave could’ve played and sang “Poison was the cure” correctly back then during his prime. Nowadays, he plays a simpler version of the verse riff.

[@elosoguapo8137]

@@SalisbouryI saw them on the RIP tour back in 90/91 and they played the hell out of all the songs!

The Polaris was never used outside of testing So in the end the warheads are in fact rusting in peace

Genius of Mustaine…look at the footage the media uses of rusty Russian military stage props being destroyed by Ukraine to simulate a real conflict.

[@robert-michaeloneill186]

The phrase “warheads will all rust in peace” is amazing. Has always been my favourite track off the record.

[@infernalsymphonytv2928]

It's an example of Mustaine's dark humor. If the word ended due to nuclear war, thats also another reason why the warheads would rust away - they'd be no survivors left around to set the other missles off...

The best Megadeth song

[@MercyNoMore]

Love that song. I would definitely like to see them do that one.

[@JustOneWillingSoul]

When Megadeth recorded RIP, Guns n Roses was recording in the studio down the hall, and Slash kept swinging by and bringing clips to the band, going 'you guys are not going to believe what they are doing over there!'. One listen and this became my favorite album. 25 years later, it remains one of my favorites. It never gets old. I still love playing along with all these songs on guitar. It's an absolute masterpiece that will endure for eternity. Probably the single best lead guitar showcase of all time between Marty and Dave (who deserves way more credit than he gets as a lead guitarist). Can't say enough about the greatness of RIP.

[@Jcruzer70]

Symphony Of Destruction is an absolute groove monster that you two will definitely love.

[@MisterFuzzyGuy]

They’ve done it (on Patreon I think) and they weren’t that big on it

[@Jcruzer70]

@MisterFuzzyGuy 😱😱 I noticed that quite a few classic tunes they reacted to years ago were not liked. If they were to have done them today, they'd most likely be more open to them. Not every song but more than a few. They have years of listening and experience now, which would probably translate into a greater appreciation for some of the songs they didn't care for 3,4 or 5 years ago.

[@MisterFuzzyGuy]

@@Jcruzer70 that could be a good idea, like a “revisit” to some songs they weren’t fussed on to see if their opinions have changed at all

[@The_Morepower]

The UGM-27 Polaris was a submarine-launched nuclear ballistic missile (SLBM) used by the US & UK navies between 1961 and 1996. It was the first American SLBM, and carried 3 reentry vehicles (bombs) of 200 kilotons yield each. That's what Dave is talking about.

[@luchboxer]

Rust in Peace Polaris is the epilogue of this masterpiece. Is Mustaine and the band doing the heaviest song (lyrically and musically) of the record to give us a last shot of what the world could actually look like if a nuclear war happens and talking in the perspective of the missile. For me, everytime I see in the news some nuclear test from some country, this song comes to mind. It's totally dark and heavy. Dave on a genius songwriting level on this one. And yes, they've played this live. A lot of times.

[@pleasuretokill]

RIP was a snapshot of a band of virtuosos at their absolute peak.

[@WWROABM]

And this was Nick Menza’s first album behind the kit. He was a roadie up until this point. Marty walked in off the street and laid down some crazy stuff. A little note - Dave and Dave had most of this written before Nick and Marty came in and gave it their touches. Chris Poland - the original guitar player - played a lot of the solos in pre-production. All that said, easily the original release is probably one of the top 5 greatest metal albums ever. Master of Puppets, South of Heaven, Black Sabbath, Rust in Peace, and add another record of your liking. And Rust in Peace is probably the technically proficient. Bye the way, they can definitely do this live. They could do it then and can still do it now. Absolutely badass record!!!

[@tallgrayandgruesome]

Maybe the 2 "metal beast" albums by Judas Priest!?

[@evil4d]

Great post, great list of best albums too. SOH is my favourite Slayer too. One I'd add... Number Of The Beast.

[@ps-yk8su]

Marty came from Cacophony

[@SamFerguson]

The UGM-27 Polaris was a nuclear missile system used on U.S. submarines from the 1960s and 1970s. What's funny (or maybe "interesting" is a more accurate word than "funny") is that when the album came out (in 1990), the Polaris missile had been retired for 10 years (U.S. submarines have carried variants of the Trident missile system since 1979). This song is a great example of how many thrash musicians in the United States, like their punk counterparts in the United Kingdom in the 1970s, were heavily influenced by the Cold War doomsday that hung over their heads as kids and teenagers.

[@blackmamba5659]

A lot of people refer to Megadeth as "technical" like that's the main thing that someone would listen to them for. I'm a massive Megadeth fan and I tell you I don't give a fck about the fact that something is technical or not, I love Megadeth for their super nasty riffage, jazzy-swing-fast grooves, adrenaline pumping drums and beautiful melodies.

[@rockdrigo9326]

And the themes too!

[@dreamreaper5336]

Yeah, that always bugged me too... technically proficient playing is great, but you need a good song composition to back it up, and Megadeth shines in that regard!

[@StewMain6]

I love Megadeth too! My favorite band. I think why technical is thrown in all the time is because they simply are just the best technically sound and intricate out the most well known metal bands. They are so tight too. All of the big 4 thrash metal bands have awesome riffage but none of them could even touch this album. RIP is simply the best thrash metal album of all time.

[@blackmamba5659]

@@StewMain6 it's a type of music that some people need more listens to digest. Like Ryan and George said, a lot of stuff happens in a Megadeth song and might be pretty overwhelming at a first listen, but if you give it time the reward is incredible.

[@StewMain6]

@@blackmamba5659 totally agree. Megadeth slowly became my favorite band as I began to appreciate all that they do. As an early metal head, much of their stuff was too much for me to handle but the more I listened, the more I realized they were just at another level.

My first Megadeth show was at the El Dorado Saloon. A small club in Sacramento. It was right when Peace Sells was released.......and even back then they were fire. It only got better each time I saw them.

[@troydonwainwright1832]

I agree Countdown is more groovy so these guys will probably like it more.

[@FreeMTrider]

It's been said a million times, but Rust In Peace changed the game and it had even the hardest metal and even the hardcore technical metal heads taken a back by what Megadeth did. It is meant to be heard a lot and to discover more each time it's heard. And yes, Megadeth can and did do this live. When they were on, untouchable. The following tour on Countdown to Extinction was arguably one of their most consistent and best live show tours. They were playing at a very high level and I saw it live. Thanks for a great reaction again guys!

[@Metaljunkie83]

Never better said

[@efrensanchez3666]

Fun fact:Dave didn't perform this liver until 25 anniversary for the album. The reason: it's highly difficult to sing and play the guitar because how different the used chores are to Dave's voice notes. He finally learned how to do it just so they could play the whole album.

[@TheRealTomLauda]

Yeah, that's why Dave is mind blowing. Playing guitar at his level is already mind blowing, but he is singing at the same time. He is a freaking alien.

If you have any doubts about whether Megadeth can play live... they play all of it and never miss a note. If you still have doubts... watch any performance on the Hammersmith Apollo show in 1992. My personal favourite is their performance of Ashes in Your Mouth during that show.

Polaris was a missile system, the first ballistic missile launched from a sub.

[@patrickholt2270]

Polaris was the previous generation of Submarine-launched Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles used by the USA and UK. Polaris was often in the news when I was growing up with debates about whether to upgrade or replace them at vast expense, or do unilateral nuclear disarmament which was the peace cause in the UK promoted by CND, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. They were replaced with the Trident Sub-launched ICBMs, which allows multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicle (MIRV) payloads, which also required the UK to invest in a new generation of nuclear missile submarines. They depend on the US satellite network for GPS targeting, so in fact the UK's "Independent Nuclear Deterrent" has to ask for US permission to be re-targeted or used, so there's no independence about it at all.

As SOON AS the riff for Holy Wars started, the crowd erupted and slammed us into the barrier. We had to fight our way out and didn't find each other until about an hour later. A valuable lesson was learned that day.
