My First Time Listening to Rust In Peace by Megadeth | My Reaction

[@neomoscoso10]

This one is a masterpiece not only within Metal, but Rock history as a whole.

[@mollyesanborn]

Absolutely, I can understand why so many people wanted me to give this one a listen.

[@Dmy602]

Play them , only to notice where Metallica goes wrong and boring. Not any album , but Megadeth have few really fantastic albums . Peace Sells...

[@Dmy602]

@@mollyesanborn Molly , try avoid their first ( bad production) , give it a chance to Peace Sells but who's buying , So far so good so what! ( if you want) , but please don't skip if you're interested Countdown to extinction and Youthanasia . After that Dave Mustaine ...personal life , but I'm more than sure that Megadeth did at least 4-5 albums way better than Dave's previous Pop metal band Metallica. Their million sales of the boring Black album , doesn't mean that it's great. Check yourself0 , again if you have time and nerves. P.S. Kiss and play load ...

Dave's voice took me a long time to get used to, but the instrumentals on this album are undeniable.

[@roaddog1973]

It's funny that you say that, because I have a fully instrumental version of this album and I will play it occasionally. It's amazing to pick up on different things you didn't hear before when there isn't singing on the tracks. It's a completely different listen in some places.

[@Lucrei.]

I think the first song I heard was Sweating Bullets, which is one his most hammy vocal performances and I'll admit I didn't like it first, but eventually it sunk it and I could handle anything he could possibly throw at me after that

[@kylotren3362]

Killing is my buisness Dave was hard at first especially when the first song from them you heard was the mechanix.

[@sukkyk4t]

what attracted me the most to megadeth was dave's extravagant voice, it's what makes megadeth special

[@shamusteakiawa]

When Dave Mustaine haters used to say he sounded constipated, that's all I kept thinking of every time I heard him, lol

[@KermitTheFrogman]

Tornado of Souls' solo has been playing rent free in my head for the last 18 years lol

[@jakesmith6233]

In terms of All time Favorite Albums, Megadeth's Rust in Peace is considered to be the gold standard. It's an album that I can enjoy from beginning to end without skipping. Not very many Albums can say that.

[@jamiemacdonald436]

Such an amazing album. It's hard to believe it's 33 years old. I actually wrote an essay about it when it came out in my freshman year of high school. Where the hell does the time go? Great reaction as always Molly. I appreciate you diving into full albums. Not many (or any) others have the attention span and willingness to do so. It took me a bit to get used to your pacing as far as your edits, in order to produce content that is of a reasonable length to consume. But now that I've been watching for a while, I really dig your format!

[@mollyesanborn]

This album really does stand the test of time, sounds fantastic despite being recorded over 30 years ago. And glad to hear you're enjoying the channel! I've always loved listening to full albums as opposed to a single track, a lot of great songs can get overlooked just because they're not released as a single. I find that I can gain a much stronger appreciation for a band/singer when I hear the full album.

[@johnnelson3665]

Marty Friedman’s guitar playing made this one special.

[@jaymorrison8419]

Dave also shreds i.e. Five Magics

[@TheRealEricMitchell]

Rust in Peace is my favorite Megadeth album! It’s awesome!!

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah this album was such an entertaining listen. The instrumentals were insane!

[@AndyPresto75]

Dave's absolute masterpiece and the greatest ever Megadeth linuep IMO with Ellefson, Marty and Nick (RIP). Everything about the album is ridiclous while it still sounds fresh and never gets boring. It was really fun remembering how I reacted to the first listen.

[@ericv7720]

This came out when I was a junior in high school. KNAC, the local metal station in L.A. at the time, played Rust in Piece in its entirety upon release, along with Dave Mustaine giving commentary live on air between songs. It was one of the last landmark albums of the thrash era, before fans would direct their attention toward either the emerging grunge or death metal movements.

[@DT-wy1wp]

The only thing better than hearing this album for the first time is watching someone else hear it for the first

[@jayvega9791]

Amazing reaction like always I'm so happy you found the original version instead of the remaster

[@joenutz2738]

Tornado of souls might be the best metal solo of all time

[@RolandDeschain1]

It's certainly in the top three.

[@diyit0]

Painkiller one up there as well

[@BasicallyVader]

Poison was the cure is definitely the best by far

[@KreshDraven6]

That one and December Flower solo by In Flames are my two favorite solos in metal, both are pure magic

[@South-of-Heaven]

My top 3 thrash solos is Tornado of souls, Through eyes of Glass- Forbidden, The new Order- Testament

[@abyzmul]

This album blew my mind the first time that I heard it. As a young kid, beginning guitar player, it really influenced the way I heard the guitar, and the different possibilities that I could do with it. Fast forward all these years, it still blows my mind.

[@Xeroforte]

I don't listen to much Megadeth but they're practically unmatched in the genre when it comes to technicality. This album is a stone cold classic and cannot be argued. Some people will argue day and night over which band (Megadeth or Metallica) is better because Megadeth's creative force/singer/guitarist Dave Mustaine was Metallica's lead guitarist once many many beers- I mean, years ago lol. It's all whatever to me, they're two great bands with their own fair share of missteps. Megadeth sure had a better 90s output, though.

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah their technical prowess on those instrumentals is very apparent on Rust In Peace. I wasn't aware of the crossover with Dave being involved with Metallica, I'll have to see what I think of their music when I get to a Metallica reaction.

[@uroboric]

at that time yes but nowadays there is definetely more technical stuff in thrash metal. Of course technicallity doesn't mean it's better

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

I love both bands, never bought into the war between them even back in high school when it was happening. But, Megadeth's output (in general) has been much more consistent, not just through the 90's. Metallica has been on cruise control for a long time. For Mustaine, I think the cancer put a drive in him that most musicians don't have at that age. And the current line-up is the best it's been since the 90's. But Megadeth and Metallica made the holy grail of metal albums and for that, there should never be a "who is better" conversation. They both made their mark and cemented a legacy.

[@Dmy602]

I would say that Peace Sells , Countdown are their masterpieces . Somehow I overslept this album. Listening today again , hm. But that's my opinion.

[@kylotren3362]

Met Dave many times..Seen Megadeth many times.. my good friend created their Mascot aka Vic Rattlehead. Even though they are from LA, we claim them as ours here in the Bay Area.

[@Felipe_dcj]

Finally the pinnacle of thrash metal genre. This is rhythmical and technical a gem, and withstand the time as just a few metal records can do. One of those albums you can listen from start to finish easily. Love it. Megadeth has other really good records, but I'd recommend Cowboys From Hell by Pantera, from the same year, with a different approach but at the same time similar qualities as rhythm amazing guitar.

[@mollyesanborn]

I'd love to check Pantera out, I'll definitely have to do a video for Cowboys From Hell.

[@sputhoor96]

The singers all singing together is called gang vocals and is pretty common in thrash. The style was borrowed from hardcore punk because hardcore punk was a huge influence on the development of thrash

[@mrflyazz9605]

Lucretia and Dawn Patrol are so underrated in my opinion. Two of my favorites all time and that’s saying a lot, Megadeth has some bangers. Even their new album is great!

[@JGH]

Absolutely!!!!!! Lucretia is 🤌🏻

[@Necrodethful]

Thank you so much wow.. your analysis is really interesting, I bought this album when it was released in 1990 at the time I didn't know the group, I discovered it with this album. Which I had and still have in different copies CD, Cassette, LP, and Japanese version, unfortunately I did not have the chance to see them in 90 during the tour for the disc that I would have loved it but I was able to see them in 1992, and several times thereafter. this album is a pure masterpiece and one of my favorite albums of all time thank you very much kiss from Quebec City Eric xxx

[@bukeksiansu2112]

Marty Friedman uses a lot of Japanese classical music scales in his solos, you can find them on his solo albums (Dragon Kiss, Scene or Introduction) and on the album Cacophony (with Jason Becker: the greatest shredders duo ever).

I’m sure you get thousands of requests, but here’s a few I think would you and audience may enjoy: Chaos A.D by Sepultura, and any and all PANTERA albums. I also like that you don’t often go for a bands first time out but just hit mid catalogue and then go either way down the stack, keeps us on our toes.

[@iamaqnick]

This is my favourite album of all times. All songs can stand on themselves in my opinion. All are great. By the way, about the guitarists, the lead guitarist at that era was Marty Friedman and the rhythm (and sometimes lead) guitarist as well as the vocalist is Dave Mustaine. On the final track, it was Dave singing all the parts but since he can put different tones to his voice he can easily trick you into thinking there are multiple singers. Most people say Dave's voice is not good and if Megadeth had a different vocalist they would be even bigger than Metallica. However, I love his voice and it might be hard to get used to it but once you do you will love it. Great reaction, as always, and I would love you to check Countdown to Extinction or Peace Sells... but who's buying from Megadeth as well.

More Megadeth, if you please! Like James Hetfield, Mustaine was a riff-meister and a reluctant lead vocalist. Dave plays more solos than Het, but they’re both the rhythm guitarists of their bands. Rust In Peace was a landmark album, in the realm of Thrash. Mustaine has had several drummers and lead guitarists, this album was the first of five albums with the same lineup, with Marty Friedman shredding on lead guitar and the dynamo on drums, the late Nick Menza!💜🤘 Definitely check out the three albums before and the three albums after!👍😎🔥

The great Dave Mustaine - he is the mastermind behind Megadeth. Originally the guitarist and frontman for Metallica when they were getting started (and writing a majority of their first album, Kill 'em All) but was thrown out for being too drunk and rowdy essentially. He set out to form a faster, heavier band than Metallica, and formed Megadeth. He writes the majority of the songs, does vocals, and shares lead guitar duties. Along the way there's been some great musicians around him to bring it all together.

Poison Was The Cure and Polaris have always been my favorite tracks from this record and from Megadeth. I put this album #2 on the greatest thrash albums of all time. Master Of Puppets is #1. But the mix on Rust In Piece is absolutely perfect. Master Of Puppets is excessively reverberated and muddy. The production value and this record is as good as it gets.

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

You can basically interchange these two albums. I don't see one above the other, while I very much prefer Megadeth as a band. These albums are basically perfection from start to finish. It's completely different vibes, but very much familiar to each other. They are the holy grail of metal albums. It's also held to such a high standard that people expected them to keep making these albums over and over, but I'm glad they are one-offs. They are special because it was rare. 1988-1992 seems like thrash was peak and many bands came out with their masterpieces.

[@Lucrei.]

MoP is great and I love it, but I'm not even sure it's the best Metallica record let alone the best thrash one. That being said, I probably wouldn't even be into thrash if it weren't for Puppets, so I'm not gunna say that's an unreasonable claim, just not one I'd make personally

One of the best album in the 90s! Tornado of Souls' guitar solo is my all time favorite. Btw, their Dystopia album is really great! You should try that one. You're gonna like it for sure.

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah Tornado Of Souls is fantastic! I'm looking forward to hearing more from Megadeth, I'll have to give Dystopia a listen now too.

I first saw your channel when you reviewed a few of Korn's albums, and I'm excited that you're checking out one of my other favorite bands now. I'm going to join in on recommending Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? next. That was an earlier lineup of the band then and it sounded so unique. Nick Menza and Marty Friedman are the drummer and lead guitarist on Rust In Peace, and Marty is the guy playing a lot of the crazy solos on songs like Hangar 18 and Lucretia. On Peace Sells they had Gar Samuelson, a jazz drummer, and Chris Poland, a jazz/fusion guitar player, plus the core of Mustaine and Ellefson. It's intense, technical thrash but it has a different character than what you just listened to. Rust In Peace was produced with Mike Clink who was an A-list hard rock/metal producer (he did most of Guns N' Roses' hit albums) so the sound is very clear and pristine as you observed. Peace Sells was their major label debut though and is rougher sounding, but is still well produced. One last note, if you review any other Megadeth albums, make sure you listen to the ones that are NOT the 2004 remasters if you can find them. Mustaine went back and remastered their back catalog in the mid 2000s and most of them sound awful and it just ruined the original sound of the albums. The version of RIP you listened to is the un-remastered one it sounds like, so that's the better version.

I like the fact you didn't listen to the remastered version of the album 👌

[@mollyesanborn]

Someone else mentioned that too, that the remastered versions are not as good as the original. I'll keep that in mind for future videos!

@@mollyesanborn Just lookup the 'loudness war'.

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks! Just learned something new. Never heard of the term loudness war before.

[@trenchy1990]

@@mollyesanborn I learnt about it with Metallica's 'Death Magnetic' LP. My friend scored a vinyl without the loudness effect and it's 1000x better.

I loved the video, it remembered me the first time i put my hands on this album, great memories

[@mollyesanborn]

That makes me happy to hear, glad the video took you back to your first time hearing Rust In Peace :)

[@timbrown6629]

That deep vocal on 5 magics is an effect called a Harmonizer.
