Megadeth - Rust in Peace Review | OOME

[@Count_Deangeli]

Now, that's freaking weird for somebody like Myke to discover this only after 30 years

[@brandonampudia4896]

he went straight into the extreme stuff and skipped some of the essentials it seemed. pretty based.

[@killerbean5343]

Nah like he said he never liked megadeth

[@willthomas2310]

Damn! No mention of Tornado of souls? That's definitely one of the biggest highlights of the album

[@marissaortega1386]

It’s a gorgeous song

[@thatguysixx]

Yo myke will you ever do a backpack classic again? Organized konfusion stress the extinction agenda would be cool

Agreed

[@mykectown]

Yeah I def will. I just haven't had the time.

[@humptydumpty109]

This is the only album I like. I don’t care about the rest of their catalogue

[@noahmeiring3886]

Good video Myke! Love hearing you talk about this album, even if you aren't super crazy about it. I'm kinda surprised you didn't talk about Tornado of Souls at all. The solo in it is pretty well regarded as one of the best solos ever, thanks to Marty Friedman, and it's definitely one of my personal favorite solos.

[@choptopshusband]

One of my favorite metal albums, I’m glad I can get the perspective from someone who doesn’t absolutely love it or obsessed with it. Glad you still enjoyed it Myke

[@KMHoran]

I went through exactly this process with this album last year, including the "huh Holy Wars sounds like Carcass" bit. Thanks for the video, Myke.

[@seanmccarthy8755]

Was always curious about your opinions on this album. Great review!

[@seancolucci9577]

This was cool you don't talk about thrash all too often, I'd love to see more thrash videos, also, one of the on Power Trips Nightmare Logic if you haven't heard it. The album is undeniable

[@andrei11dr]

"A band singing about extraterrestrial life is really cool to me" yo, future Voivod review confirmed? 👀

[@takodabostwick8507]

Thrash metal classic easily! One of the best thrash metal albums of all time and one of the best metal albums of all time! 10/10! Holy Wars, Hangar 18 and Tornado of Souls are awesome songs. Take No Prisoners, Five Magics and the title track are also awesome songs.

[@yourmusiclover9205]

Absolutely love this record, it’s killer.

[@camduke6]

Now this album brings back some wonderful memories, my brother worked at a record store and they got a special promo version of this on CD and it came in a cool coffin looking box, still have it to this day 30 years later. Some dope riffs on here and Marty Friedman is a hell of a lead guitar player. As probably the only black heavy metal kid growing up in SouthWest Atlanta, you only could imagine the looks on my friends faces when they would come over to my house and I would throw this on lol 😂 great memories and a great album 🔥

[@Veronee64]

Missed this series! Enjoyed your last one of Die Lit, nice to hear a different perspective.

[@Aeon490]

Sweet. Love this album.

[@MrLando0]

I don’t like Megadeth either but I love Rust in Peace. That album rips.

[@נעםהראל-ג5ר]

im at 00:03:28 and im just so happy with your intro to the video, your introduction was so good

[@DavidPiniella]

If you do buy it on physical media, I would recommend getting either the vinyl or the original release on Capitol. The remix/remastered version is absolute trash. The bass in particular is just....ugh. That holy wars...punishment due is two songs just banged together. The first part ("holy wars") was inspired by a show they did in Ireland during the Troubles where Mustaine ran his mouth about the IRA and afterwards he Had A Bad Time. "the punishment due" part is about the comic "The Punisher".

[@darejohnson2251]

I've always loved Holy Wars... But I've never listened to this album in full, and this video inspired me to change that. So thank you!

[@mattlav37]

the first song is a killer, this album is a classic, great review thx Mike

[@carl6345]

Sick shirt! Where'd you get it?

[@AST-erisked]

At this point not liking Megadeth is not such an unpopular opinion tbh. Anyway, great that you enjoyed it, it was my favorite MGDTH album when i was a teenager but as i grow older, Peace Sells its my top.

[@amillionworms]

Re: H18... "The riff is OK"... well, speechless...

[@samuelskillern7365]

Megadeth peaked with this album and everything after Youthanasia is subpar.

[@takodabostwick8507]

How about doing a Jeff Beck album review in honor of him since we lost one of the greatest guitarists of all time! I suggest you to review Blow by Blow! Such a fantastic album and his best out of his solo albums. Having a Rave Up With The Yardbirds and Truth are both classics too!

[@tonydo2505]

I would love to see Myke react to some Between the Buried and Me style prog metal as I’ve never heard him talk about progressive music much before. I’m just not sure if anyone would vote for that

[@sharingan072]

This hurts my heart but I still gave a like because you were honest and you gave it a shot.

[@2ndBreakfassst]

Listening to your interview on Unscripted Moments, had to check out your channel. Propagandhi is one of my favorite bands, and I love Rust in Peace. BTW, I drive by wax n facts every day!

[@derfgerps4016]

This record is great man their early stuff through extinction is great.

[@lightingrod5907]

Why didn’t you mention Tornado of Souls?

[@WalterClements.official]

I think he still hasnt really listened to all songs fully.

[@TheSlayer3628]

Oh yeah, clouddead getting some coverage. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

[@blazekaizer9000]

No tornado of souls mentioned? Literally the greatest solo in the album and one of the most known of the genre

[@tonygunkster]

Hey myke, what mix did you listen to? The original or 2004 mix?

[@TheBoomBoxGuru]

Hey Myke! I was curious to know which version of Rust In Peace did you listen to, Remixed & Remastered or the OG version?

[@GroundZeroSalem]

Obvs I'm here to mention how dope that Nausea shirt is.

[@ianh6845]

I've been a fan of Megadeth for years but I never give anyone shit that doesn't like them because, I understand. I really do. Dave frustrates me to no end sometimes. Honestly, if he would have gotten voice lessons early on, he would have sounded much better. I kind of like that he sounds like some weird goblin creature but because he doesn't know how to sing properly, there are always problems hearing him in concert because he's not projecting like he should, and the sound-guy is constantly confused and fucking with shit. I'm glad you basically like Rust In Peace though, if ever there were a Megadeth album to dig, it's that one. Your honesty is refreshing, I've enjoyed your content for a while now. \,,/

[@BleekMajeek]

Hell yeah, one of my all time favorite albums

[@maxsmart9116]

Knowing how you feel about Megadeth I clicked pretty fast when I saw the title. I'm not big on Megadeth but Holy Wars... Punishment Due kicks so much ass. Love the Nausea shirt!

[@moko9hoko]

Im still not a gigantic megadeth fan but rust in peace is definitely a masterpiece and I could listen to it all the way through again and again

[@MrLando0]

I thought it was speed he was addicted to- part of where ‘speed’metal came from.

[@NamekJedi]

personally I really like dave's vocals, but I can definitely see how they could be grating to others. That goes for a lot of thrash bands honestly lmao

[@TheFunkytownGotcha]

i haven't heard your feelings about Megadeath before so i was a bit surprised by your opinion of them.

[@TheFunkytownGotcha]

have you done any sort of "Favorite Thrash" list on this channel?

[@detonationcruster]

[@arexyouxepicxenough]

I remember getting into Megadeth I hated Dave's voice but loved the guitar work enough that, I wouldn't say it grew on me since I still don't like it, but it stopped annoying me and then I really started loving Megadeth. I think it was Peace Sells with the first 5 songs on the album minus the title track that made me love Megadeth.

[@ByronGiant]

Yeah there are only four Megadeth albums I enjoy. All of them from "Peace Sells..." to "Youthinasia" while removing "So Far, So Good...". I agree with your assessment of it and of their first album. I think I enjoyed them because I was also big into other bands like them, but also Cypress Hill. So his tone of voice didn't bother me at all. It sort of all melded together for me.

[@brothermanbill]

one of the albums that many metal heads debate is the number one metal album is out of myke's element? weird

[@alejandroramirez4470]

I personally like the musicianship on the album more than the lyrics or singing too. The bass in the mix does it for me on this.

[@justinsvs]

I feel exactly the same way about Megadeth, and this is the one album of theirs that stuck with me too!

[@ghostface93wu4eva9]

Knowing that you are such a big fan of Melodic Death Metal Myke, I would love to see you do an OOME for The Black Dahlia Murder. A band that for some reason got labeled as a metalcore band but that couldn't be further from the truth. They are an American Melodic Death Metal Band and I think you might really enjoy them. Their two highest regarded albums are Nocturnal and Ritual. The lead singer tragically passed away last year. RIP Trevor.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Because you like alien stuff with music, did you ever check out hypocrisy or pain? I love me some Peter Tagtgren.

[@meechy9166]

Great review Myke!! It is a great record! And I do see why and agree it’s a Classic, but I as well was never a huge Megadeth fan or fan of Mustaine’s voice!💯💯 was just playing this record on the Weekend! The Riffs and Solo’s def make up for the vocals, but even the vocals grow on you. Metallica always surpassed Megadeth everytime they thought they were gonna 1 up them lol. Anyways, hope this great series continues and imo I like that you choose the record every now and then!💯💯🙌🙌 Sending peace and blessings Myke and fam!!🙌🙌🤘🤘🤘✨✨✨💙💙💙

[@saulcarranza7984]

Megadeth is awesomeeee. I can understand why people don't like his vocals tho.

[@austintowns3745]

Rust in Peace was an album I thought was flawless growing up, but man Dave's vocals are only just barely tolerable across his entire discography, and the effects added here are rough. It really detracts from the monster instrumental performances that are delivered here. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on a Peace Sells relisten. The band jams a bit more like a metal Return to Forever - Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson wear their influences on their sleeve here - than what the Megadeth style would become.

[@timanderson5417]

metal head since 1980. couldn't enjoy Megadeth until around 2010 because of the vocals. thank god I got over it! the musicianship is always top tier. the riffs are awesome, but sometimes there are too many changes in 1 song for most listeners (i like that though). I am such a guitar freak i learned bass in the 80's just so i could share the stage with great guitar players, and M-Deth always has them. if you ignore d.m.'s voice (on albums AND interviews) the music is sweet

[@azraelspeaks]

Excellent review. IMO, Metallica and Megadeth are "Thrash Lite" around that era (I say that because Metallica is more "Hard Rockabilly" now and Megadeth is more "Rock" now). So much Thrash influence but so much mainstream vibes. TBH, I may not be the biggest fan of that era for either band, but I am glad they did that. They got more people into Metal because of what they made. More people listening is better for the genre.

[@blazekaizer9000]

The greatest metal album ever. According to metal storm lol

[@ProfaneCreation02]

I never understood why people hate Mustaine’s voice so much, I just don’t think it’s particularly bad.

[@blazekaizer9000]

Why is Dave an asshole? I found him kind of inspirational. Overcoming learning to play again and movement in his arm, and overcoming drug addictions

[@TheLuiscelaya]

I will always have nostalgia for this album and this band. I was about 10 or 11 years old when I first heard Holy Wars and the rest of this album and I was blown away at the time. I will always respect the playing and musicianship even though it feels like guitar noodling half the time on Mustaine’s side; Marty Friedman’s playing still holds up phenomenally. But I can only take so much of Dave’s voice these days, especially late 90’s and on

[@scottmcley5111]

I love Megadeth. If I could ever criticize Dave, it would be I think his guitar sound is a little treble-y. But I appreciate his voice. It's different.

[@maxpower4868]

If someone doesn't like this album in my book they are not a metalhead

[@kstanton9970]

I wanted to hate Megadeth as a kid because of my allegiance to Metallica-but then I grew up and dayyyum Rust in Peace and Peace Sells are so friggin good I always go back and listen to em but Metallica… not so much anymore.

[@anagazell114]

Love mustaines voice.

[@Javi808]

As a Megadeth fan, i respect your opinion because you actually list the reasons why your not a fan of the band. How you feel about Dave’s voice is how I feel about the vocals of Emperor. I think Emperor’s vocals are complete garbage, even for Black Metal standards. I still respect and acknowledge their influence and impact in Black Metal even though I’m not a fan of theirs.

[@R0kushi]

I always find it funny that what doesnt do it for me in Metallica is james hetflield's vocals, even tough I love to listen to the band, while the crooked mustaine voice never bothered me because it fitted for me (as long as he didnt started narrating or sing sing)

[@chadappell2447]

I have a love/hate relationship with Megadeth, Rust is their best though 🤘🏼

[@zakk219]

I have largely the same opinion as you of Megadeth. I've tried a few times to get into the band but have never really listened to much other than the singles and only liked a few songs and the biggest hurdle for me is Dave's voice. It just borders on parody for me and turns me off. If Megadeth had a different vocalist and Dave was just on guitar, I would probably enjoy the band a lot more than I do but it just bugs me.

[@DamnableReverend]

Think I subscribed because of one of your top of the year lists, but haven't commented before. Anyway, I've been into metal for nearly thirty years, and I'm with you about Megadeth. Never cared too much for them. Dave does havea pretty crappy voice. But I do kind of like this album as well. Also a few songs from other records, but even Peace Sells, I probably wouldn't sit through all the way. Good review.

[@matthewricker3709]

Mega death is the Jay Z of Metal Music for Myke😂

[@Shitposter55]

Rust in peace and peace sells > any metal album ever, idk how anyone can disagree with this

[@breakbearrr]

Besides Slayer I've just never liked the big 4 bands. Granted I got into Thrash super late for a metalhead so mayb they could grow on me but i'd rather listen to something a big rougher and nastier.

[@Arian545]

I could never get into Megadeth, it is one of those bands I checked out when I was 13 because they were supposedly a big deal, but I didn't enjoy it then, and I don't enjoy it now.

[@intolerant_left]

Maiden > Megadeth all day, every day. Not saying I've never slept on a band or an album though!

[@EJFF.]

I hear you Myke, respect to listening to this personally, I never go back to these bands I have no interest in thrash metal in general I think it sucks. Everything I like that’s metal peaked with black metal bands (specifically DSBM) not thrash. I use to like Peace Sells but Megadeath has a lot of really lame lyrics

[@tyrrell8077]

who tf picked cLOUDDEAD for the next video 🤣 ain't Myke the biggest Anticon fan or sm

[@mykectown]

Haha. Yeah that was confusing af to me too...

[@nofvce999]

I've always said So Far So Good is their weakest release prior to the split. But Megadeth has the worst vocals out of the big 4 and probably in metal period. And this is coming from a fan. Their instrumentation is their strongest point. Arguably some of the best and most unique musicians in the genre (Menza, Gar, Poland, Friedman). Everything they dropped after their reformation is pretty crappy though,

[@melvinramone2605]

I really like this album and Peace Sells but beyond that I think Megadeth is a couple/few good songs per album band and easily the weakest of the Big Four. I get a lot of grief from Metal heads for just being lukewarm on Megadeth I imagine it's even worse for someone who doesn't like them at all. I like your review. Makes me want to put the album on, and always good to hear someone pleasantly surprised by an album. Not that it matters but "Holy Wars/The Punishment Due" is lyrically two songs put together. "Holy Wars" is about a time he was playing in Ireland and was convinced when he was drunk by some locals to make a pro IRA statement on stage. It caused a riot and the band had to be escorted out of the country. He's admitting he was a dip shit for speaking on a topic like that without understanding the situation. "The Punishment Due" is about The Punisher from Marvel Comics. Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@marissaortega1386]

Listen to Killing Is My Business and Business is Good their first album. That is an actual FU to Metallica. All implications toward Metallica are not imagined. I’m shocked as a metal head you didn’t like them. They’re amazing.

[@brandonconwell6089]

megadeth has good stuff and bad stuff. metallica has more good stuff in my opinion.

[@prime-directive]

REAL TALK- their newest one fucking beats ass. But the track with Ice-T (you read that right, Detective Fin Tutuola) is hot TRASH.

[@Phobophiliac]

The only Megadeth album I actually like, everything else is super boring

[@witheredmedia]

Mustaine's vocals are very mid-tier imo, better than a band like Overkill but yea not as good as Slayer or Metallica

[@LoyaltotheNightsky]

Oh damn, hard disagree on Overkill. That dude absolutely rips.

[@ExplosiveAction]

You know, I'm not a Megadeth fanboy either, and for me they are the epitome of a "best of" album band. I love the first two tracks here, and one or two others, but there's a lot of fluff. The same for all their albums.

[@Lastiri2004]

I agree with you about Megadeth. Never like Mustaine vocals and never crazy about the composition. Funny enough, this is the album from this band that had songs that i like: Holy wars, Hangar 19 and Take no Prisoners. Thats all. I dont think not like megadeth isnt so much an unpopular kind of opinion in the metal world anymore.
