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...

@@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

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.

Marty Friedman’s guitar playing made this one special.

[@jaymorrison8419]

Dave also shreds i.e. Five Magics

[@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.

[@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!

[@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]

@@Dmy602 damn I was the opposite I knew this album was going to be special so I listened to everything else first. So far, peace sells, killing and countdown before this one

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

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

[@DT-wy1wp]

Also...I giggled when you talked about the bass on poison was the cure knowing that dawn patrol was yet to come

[@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.

[@jayvega9791]

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

[@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.

[@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.

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

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 🤌🏻

[@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).

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.

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.

[@mollyesanborn]

So glad you're enjoying the channel! I appreciate the suggestions, Pantera is definitely a band I'd like to get to soon. And I'll keep Chaos A.D. in mind too. And yeah it's fun to change up the order I do the albums in.

[@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.

[@kennysoriginalmusicchannel5916]

Great reaction! I think it's really cool that u listen to full albums. I don't see alot of reacters doing that. I just subscribed after seeing u reacting to megadeth which is my favorite band and metallica another favorite of mine. I suggest u do a reaction to the new metallica album called 72 seasons. It's pretty cool. I don't know if u react to songs by themselves but it would be cool to see u react to a full song outside of album reactions where u have to edit it especially with longer albums.

[@doctorbarber1]

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.

[@RumpelStiltskindarkone]

Hi Molly, I'm having a blast watching this! I see that you have an appreciation for well mixed records nd sound quality, so I have to suggest investing in some "audiophile grade" headphones to really appreciate he full potential.

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.

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.

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.

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

This album has been voted by many as greatest thrash album created.

I can see why, it's pretty great!

I've mostly moved onto prog and extreme metal since when I got into Thrash, but this may just still be my favorite album of all time. BY FAR my fav thrash album of all time. Five magics is the GOAT imo. Also, look up the isolated tracks for the song rust in peace, holy fuck dave and nick were great, I think nick's drumming is literally the best thrash drumming I've ever heard - not overplaying or underplaying, just doing the exact thing the song calls for.

Many fans and critics have this album in their top 10 metal albums of all time.

I can see why, it's pretty fantastic!

Classic album, their latest one from 2022 was the album of the year for me.

[@mollyesanborn]

So impressive to me that they're still releasing new music, I love that. I'd be really curious to hear their newest album and see what I think of it compared to Rust In Peace.

[@Lucrei.]

So many good albums last year, Rammstein with Zeit, Blind Guardian with The God Machine and Megadeth with the absolute banger that is The Sick... The Dying & The Damned!

A lot of people say "master of puppets is the greatest blabla" but Man...Rust in peace is soooo brilliant in many ways,pure perfection,they play like surgeons
