Megadeth - Looking Back on 'Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?'

[@lukenotskywalker2957]

OrangeShadow It’s got the punk attitude in spades.. It’s the most Jazzy song on the album the others are Speed metal and the title track is Thrash.. The album has about 3 different styles enfused into it. I was literally humming the song in work 2 days ago.. Like all their covers it’s better than the original.. I can’t listen to Peace Sells without listening to it in order.. All tracks. I don’t skip anything.. It’s all great. Can’t not listen to it after Bad Omen, I love how it goes from that song to the other as well.. The flow on the album is outstanding. KIMB doesn’t flow as well.. They kept that from start to finish quality until Risk/TWNAH and have now managed to get back to it again.. Dystopia is the first record since TSHF that I enjoy all the tracks and have no desire to skip songs.. UA, EG, 13, SC I find myself skipping songs on those albums..

The Best Thrash record that is not named Rust in Peace.

[@gregorymacdonnell7914]

I totally agree. I wore the tapes out of those two Megadeth albums as they came out. I was 19 when Peace Sells came out. The Conjuring was killer. We tried to cover it in my band, but it was to hard for all of us to get it down tightly. We did Wake up Dead instead.

That album is my favorite from Megadeth. Gar and Chris are fantastic and their participation in this is unic. I don't think Megadeth could revive that vibe again and that only makes the album more special. I just wish this video was longer so Dave could talk more about the construction of this...

A Masterpiece by none other than the legend himself; Dave Mustaine. My brother met Dave once up close & personal. A Dublin show, he and some mates got a tip off where Dave & Co was staying where he paid top euro for pots of tea just to be allowed sit in the hotel foyer. The wait paid off however where the escalator doors opened and there he was, black bomber jacket, the black woolly hat, a smile that would light up the room and the flowing yellow locks. It was like the Messiah himself just walked into the room lol. Dave made time for his fans and to say my brother was very happy is an understatement. An absolute gentleman of the highest order is Dave. God bless man, good health & happiness for many years. Thank you for the music. Thank you for MEGADETH.

[@QUICKSTROKEHD]

[@mastershredder78]

The dude speaks from the heart. So much respect for Dave, his music has always been a constant inspiration for me.

[@Deehvad]

That was the first ever Megadeth album I heard, I was like 15 years old and just getting into Metallica and stuff.... I remember thinking (like I usually thought with new metal I'd hear) "seriously what the hell is this crap?" Especially Dave's vocals, sounded so weird to me, my 15 year-old brain didn't understand it at first. But I gave it a chance, mostly because my friends wouldn't shut up about it. After a few listens I was starting to hear the subtlety of the riffing, the talent of the solos, even Jr's Bass stuck out to me as unique for some reason. Then Dave's voice kind of grows on you and after Rust in Peace I couldn't even imagine Megadeth without Dave's signature voice. When I hear Megadeth covers they always sound off. Anyways TLDR this album is amazing and way ahead of its time. It was like progressive metal before progressive metal was even a thing. RIP Gars, congratz Dave and Megadeth (all current and former members!) for creating such a great legacy!

Almost the same age I am. I think I was 13 or 14 when I got Peace Sells, my first and still favorite Deth album. Like you said, once you get used to Dave's voice, you can't imagine anything different. Say what you will about it, but it has a unique quality to it that can't be matched.

[@_whoopy]

Peace sells...but who's buying? You know I am!!!!

[@jasonstallworth]

Such an epic and timeless album!

[@Rekko82]

PSBWB - Perhaps the most intense thrash metal album ever. Although I love Rust in Peace the most, PSBWB is something that stats very powerfully, finishes very powerfully and is as powerful every second between the start and the end. 36 minutes of high-quality metal! It is no wonder that Lars Ulrich loves this album. KIMB is the angriest album I have ever heard but PSBWB is the album which destroys everyone who is on their way.

[@Fireglo]

Killing is My Business is thrashier than Peace Sells. Especially the new 2018 mix.

[@Rekko82]

@@Fireglo They both are amazing. KIMB was faster and angrier than PSBWB but PSBWB is the album when they started to sound at their best. Maybe the reason is the fact that they spent more money recording PSBWB. KIMB had a budget of 12 000 dollars and 1/3 of that amount they spent on drugs. PSBWB had a budget of 25 000 dollars, so they probably played the songs so many times they were eventually best quality.

One of the luckiest days I had was when we heard on the radio that tickets for Alice Cooper's Constrictor tour ( WITH MEGADETH OPENING ! ) would be sold at an older venue instead of the usual large arena ticket office and we ended up 5th in line ! It was early in the release of Peace Sells . Early enough that Megadeth was still an opener and the only stage prop they had was a large canvas of the Peace Sells album cover at the back of the stage . We also heard that Megadeth would be signing autographs at this big record store ( yep , still had them then ) and we got a descent size promo poster autographed by the entire original band . Alice was great , Megadeth was incredible and the whole thing just went in our favor . We had 3rd row seats and my friend and I snuck in his camera ( I had the lens up my jacket sleeve ) and he took some of the best Alice and Megadeth photos I have ever seen . I had no idea he was so good at photography . Hey , even us average guys get lucky sometimes .... rrrright ! PK

[@darkfuture3291]

Absolutely incredible album:) I’m still picking apart the guitar on it. Amazing and inspired playing from such a young bunch of guys. Great lyrics too. I’ve been listening to this album for 30 years now and played it, if not every week, at least once a month. I’ve owned it on every format and have 3 versions of it on vinyl. Still a devastating piece of work that very few musicians in this world could even come close to.

Even though I first got into Megadeth after hearing 'In My Darkest Hour' the first album of theirs I bought was Peace Sells. I think it was the only one the record shop had in which left me no choice. It was on tape which shows you how long ago it was. Still, that tape got some serious playing during my teenage years. I honestly thought that metal music was going to change the world back in those days as well.

Album title is a philosophical standpoint. In that light, everyone here should read a short book titled "War Is A Racket" by Major General Smedley Butler. You'll really understand why there is so much war in the world. The band Shadow Gallery understood this as witnessed on their 1998 album "Tyranny" and the song "War For Sale".
