Rust In Peace - The Megadeth Story ┃ Documentary

[@RAWMUSICTV]

With 16 studio albums, 40 years of being a band and Dave Mustaines history with Metallica, there was SO MUCH I could have covered in this documentary. It would have been impossible to fit everything into 40 minutes so I hope you all enjoy the early life of Mustaine and Megadeth that I decided to focus on!

[@jonny555ive]

You did a fantastic job Brother. Great content.... I absolutely love Megadeth, Dave is far FAR better then anything Metallica has ever put out.... He's hungryer, meaner and more pissed off. Just all around BETTER. Of course, that's just my opinion, all be it 100% correct. Haha Killer upload dude 🤘🤘

Thank you so much. I really enjoy your input on Megadeth’s career. Great interview.

[@MetaITurtle]

As much as I love Metallica. I think I can finally see that they don't like to talk about this stuff because they feel guilty. Dave said James cried a little during his firing. It makes me wonder why those two never sat down for an interview together. I think we would get some interesting stories never told.

[@2009deegan]

@@MetaITurtle dave is to honest and up front. James knows the screwed the man mustanin and won't admit his wrongs, and he dont like confrontation it wigs him out he run just like axle rose. Pmsl axle now thats a dude. read slash's his got great stories about axle running off when someone puts it on him like jumping out of slash's car moving coz slash need to talk to him about treating slash mum like shit instead of talking like a man he jumps camado rolls out the car.

Dave getting kicked out of Metallica is one of the best things to ever happen for heavy metal music. Dave isn't meant to be in a band where his creative authority is limited by fellow band members. Megadeth is making seriously heavy albums. Dystopia is amazing. Metallica's latest album...eehhh...

megadeth was always my favorite metal band growing up. rust in piece as an album changed my life.

[@landrover8327]

Rust in Peace was my first taste of Megadeth. The guy at the music shop used to work at a local rock club and every week I'd go down to buy an album or two and on one occasion he recommended that album to me. Never heard of the band before but listening to that album all the way through in one sitting, reading the lyrics and looking at the artwork it was a truly mind blowing experience. From Holy Wars and it's explicit description of what war usually entails and leaves you with going through to the end of the album where Dawn Patrol describes what life would be like after a nuclear apocalypse and then the last track Rust In Peace - Polaris telling it from the point of view of the atomic weapon itself that just wants to destroy everything. One of the greatest albums of all time.

Yeah I forgot about the 4th of July line, but you're right. I remember him saying "we're not here to hurt each other", and the crowd kinda expressed disagreement with that sentiment ( at least in the front on the floor where I was), which seemed to disgust him a little bit, and he just said "keep it up and we won't be allowed to come back". I was standing just behind where the firecrackers we're going off and the crowd was packed tightly enough that they were landing on people's shoulders and going off right in their faces... must've kinda sucked for the few people who got nailed. I have a clear vision of it in my memory. At the end of their set Lombardo threw a stick and a couple guys both had their hand on it. Instead of fighting over it they agreed to break it in half, so me and my buddy followed them over to the stairs where they snapped it and we both got a few splinters. I've still got mine somewhere. I don't know if it had anything to do with the firecrackers or not, but they didn't come back to Maine until 1999 in Lewiston. I think I remember early in Anthrax's set, Belladonna came out and ran around with a big inflatable microphone that he held at his crotch and waved around like it was a dick. Haha That's about all I remember if the show, other than Mustaine standing there ripping on his guitar, as usual.

Agreed. He doesn't get the credit he deserves at all. The fact he hasn't been inducted to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame yet is criminal. The Metallica subservient media still paints him as the bitter ex bad guy while Metallica are squeaky clean, no questions asked. . Whenever Metallica say anything about what happened,it's taken as gold,while the word "allegedly" is always attached to everything Dave says about hat happened back then..even the incident that led to Dave clobbering James for kicking his dog...read about that incident and it says "Hetfield allegedly kicked Mustaine's dog"..Ron McGoverney confirmed Mustaine's version of events and he had no reason to back him up!

[@FlyingBJJSHlT]

@@alangregg5520 - James was always a prick just like Lars. A perfect example of this is when James was making fun of Layne Staley’s addiction on stage and someone hit the dipship upside his head with a bottle and he ended the show. Well, you kinda asked for that, James. You don’t think YOU were wrong? Oh and how shitty he and Lars treated Jason. I absolutely believe Dave Mustaine over Lars and James.

Of the Big 4..... Metallica - Most accessible, easiest to get into for new fans. A good place to start, and probably better lyricists than they’re given credit for. Anthrax - Most fun, by a landslide...Good time party music, even played a part in the Rap/Metal hybrid that came later. Arguably pushed the most musical boundaries of the Big 4. Slayer - The best “image”, they look exactly like they sound....Scary.....The rawest of the 4, and subsequent major influence on death metal. Megadeth - Most talented, by far. None of the other 3 bands could pull off such intricate arrangements. Thinking man’s thrash, almost prog-metal.

I would encourage everyone to get the book, Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir. If you like Dave Mustaine, you’ll love it. Dave has had his problems, but, along will Neil Peart and Steve Harris, he is one of three musical geniuses in hard rock/metal. The other thing about Dave, which made Megadeth better is that he let the other guitarist in the band shine. He was never afraid to feature other guitarists at his own expense. This led to phenomenal music, especially in the Marty Friedman era, since Marty was the only guitarist that played with Dave who is better than he is.

"Not only was he kicked out of Metallica, The biggest rock band ever..". Huh? The biggest Rock band in the world? When he was kicked out of Metallica they hadn't even recorded an album yet? I first heard Metallica on the Metal Massacre compilations. "Hit The Lights" first, I believe, and another song with Dave and Ron. "Metal Militia", I believe..? Dave was kicked out right before making "Kill Em' All"! They hired Kirk from Exodus, and he had two weeks to learn the songs and the solos, before recording the album. My favorite Megadeth album was "Peace Sells". I loved the drummer from that album. Very prolific, almost like a Jazz drummer, and extremely talented. Then they got a "heavier" drummer. Saw them live with him, and he sounded prehistoric with mich less talent and creativity, but a heavy hitter. Last Megadeth show I saw was in an arena in Rochester, NY. Dave's always been great! But that lineup wasn't anything like "Peace Sells", and I never bought another of their albums. Metallica's Black album was the last I purchased. None since then though. Nothing very interesting after that. At least compared to the other albums.

Idk, dude. The line up now is pretty much spot on. Kiko is as off kilter as Poland, as emotionally engaging as Marty and as technical as Broderick. Dirk is so much like Gar, and Dave will tell you the same. And although when I think of Megadeth, I think of Ellefson, James is the better player. He strays way more off the guitar path and adds a dimension to the music Jr. doesn't. Ironically enough, Ellefson's most musical album is Risk. But, Lomenzo is such a killer player. When I think of Washington is Next, I hear the bassline. Not many Megadeth songs where you can say the bass is the more memorable part of a song. His contributions to United Abominations and Endgame cannot be overlooked. The guys adds so much. If this was the line up in the early 90's, they would be just as iconic as the RIP lineup.

What an amazing documentary! So much great information that I’ve never been aware of. Megadeth is and always will be my favorite metal band.

[@heavenz_door]

I've been craving for this. Thank you so much, guys!!!! Amazing, as always!!!

[@benjaminwhite3585]

Fun Fact: Steve Harris was at one of those New York area shows, and saw Mustaine play with Metallica. He went up to Dave afterwards and said he really liked his guitar playing.

I saw both bands when they were just starting. Both great bands and seen them both many times but the one that sticks out in my memory forever is a Megadeth show I seen at a small club and Dave was shwacked out of his mind drooling on his guitar and singing with drool hanging out of his mouth and was so crisp and beyond loud. Raw talent and energy on a different level.

[@nosferatati875]

The quality of information and footage of these videos are so amazing, i really look forward to more metal documentaries from you!

[@americanadreaming]

Watching this on my way to see Megadeth for my very 1st time. Been a fan since the 80s, I've cranked Megadeth all over the US, in Iraq, and all the other countries I visited over my 20 years in the military. I'll be going with someone I deployed with to Iraq in 2003. 3rd row in Boston, I couldn't ask for any more.

Dave started the top 2 thrash metal bands in the 80's that alone is an amazing accomplishment

Dave didn't start Metallica, what are you talking about ? What 2 bands did dave start he started Deth, and.... what else

[@grahamjarman]

@@martinkuliza well musically he did, he wrote some of the material for metallicas 1st two albums

[@martinkuliza]

@@grahamjarman No... the statement was "Dave started the top 2 thrash meta bands of the 80s" implying one of them was metallica Dave didn't start metallica, simple as that i can't deny that dave wrote SOME of the material on Kill em all but you also can't deny that dave didn't found the bound which is what START THE BAND means

[@grahamjarman]

@@martinkuliza so cliff burton didnt help start metallica? i think ur missing the point w a technicality. so either lars or james started metallica, but it cant be both by that rationale. lol

[@martinkuliza]

@@grahamjarman No mate, i'm not missing any points, I've been following metallica since the beginning you are however changing the parameters See we are not talking about who HELPED to start it we are not talking about WHO WROTE A FEW SONGS the O.P.'s point (Which is what i was specifically commenting on, which you are reply to) is DAVE STARTED IT AND I SAID.... NO HE DIDN'T because he didn't. Now just to be clear on a few things because the way i see it You're a metallica fan, so am i , mate there's not need to argue if it's going in that direction, and maybe i'm not being clear and maybe you think i'm a troll or a hater or even a dave hater No i'm none of those I'm just saying the O.P's comment is incorrect I am acknowledging that Dave largely contributed on the first few albums and that he's an awesome guitarist I am acknowledging the awesomness of cliff (who could possibly argue that point) cliff didn't just help, Cliff basically rocketed them forward to success...... GOD BLESS CLIFF AND MAY HE REST IN PEACE but neither dave nor cliff started the band, which again, is the point the O.P. was commenting on Look, ... to keep this real ok if we look at what the O.P. was ACTUALLY TRYING TO SAY instead of strictly his words he was saying DAVE IS FUCKING AWESOME but he was trying to say also (and incorrectly) he is awesome because he started 2 of the greatest bands in metal well... HE IS AWESOME no one can doubt that , but first of all CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE, You are not awesome just because you start a band, so he is wrong as to why dave is awesome and he is wrong that dave started metallica Dave has awesome things about him and then has dickhead things about him. if we want to debate dave started metallica, well he also got kicked from the band he started didn't he, and if we get to the crux of it, it's because he was young and drugs and money and all that bullshit and it sort of turns you into a dickhead so we can debate that if we like, which still doesn't get us anywhere LET'S UNDERSTAND IT FOR WHAT IT IS 1. Dave didn't start metallica, Lars and James did, but more correctly Lars, but then he sort of stole the name as well, LOL... but formally it was Lars so that is a fact and it shouldn't be changed or debated 2. fact 1 does not take any glory away from dave, Dave didn't start metallica, so the O.P is incorrect, but in saying that THE O.P. SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN A BETTER POINT OF ARGUMENT TO PRESENT DAVE IN LIKE..... HIS SPIDER TECHNIQUE, HIS AMAZING RIFF ABILITY , HIS UNIQUE STYLE, HIS UNWILLINGNESS TO GIVE UP, No one is doubting that dave it awesome, but i think some people think if i say he didn't start metallica it means he is less than what he is ... NO I'M NOT SAYING THAT i'm just saying he didn't start it , but that doesn't affect his awesomness because regardless he still started Megadeth which turned out to rule the world as well SO... WHAT ??? IS STARTING 1 MEGA BAND (PUN INTENDED) NOT ENOUGH ????? Dave is a fucking legend in his own right and i haven't taken anything away from that I'm just answering the O.P. for what he's saying , but i'm also correcting the mistake that's it mate no bullshit, no arguing , no taking honour away from anyone, just stating facts and also.. No i'm not missing any points, Not at all i just think you guys are misunderstanding me

[@PaulVarricchione]

I always felt Megadeath was more talented. I like Metallica a lot. Especially, while growing up in the '80s. But I always felt Megadeath was a better band. After the Metallica Black Album, I liked Megadeath even more.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

How do you spell MegaDeth though?

[@BatFan1]

Yeah but Dave basically is Megadeth, especially since he kicked Ellefson out. He's always relied on hiring "the most talented" artists to fill in spots. Meanwhile Metallica have been the same band with the core 3 of James, Lars and Kirk for 40 years. We can only imagine what the original Megadeth lineup would be like if they all stayed together, or the Rust in Peace lineup. Same can be said for Metallica if Cliff had not died.

[@derekbateman7378]

Mustaine really is a living prodigy.

[@j.p.sixgunner7194]

My brothers and I met Marty & Jason Becker in NOLA when Cacophony was touring....we helped 'em outta a tight spot. Several years later when Megadeth was touring Rust In Peace thru' OK and Marty comped us tix/passes and we kicked it with 'em at their suite the night before the show, reminiscing about NOLA and talking MEGADETH. Marty's a genuinely nice cat.

The first 2 bands of the bid 4 I ever got into was MEGADETH AND ANTHRAX. And my introduction to both METALLICA and SLAYER was merely by accident. First first 2 thrash cassettes I bought was. AMONG THE LIVING and PEACE SELLS BUT WHO'S BUYING. Pretty much change my taste in music after that. even though I do have a lot of respect and love for hair Rock. I still don't consider most of the LA hair bands were either pop metal or hard Rock. But hair metal term it's still a bit of a stretch for me.

This was really awesome to watch. I was a teenager growing up when I got introduced to the music of Metallica and Megadeth as well and it's been likely the biggest of four influences on my own musical style along with oddly enough Anthrax and Slayer considering they are so connected and always will be. Thank you for making this video. Dave has definitely proven to be one of the most important guitarists in metal along with James and Kirk and there is so much to being in music that most people just don't and can't understand it's not all fame and fortune. It's not an easy life and for the rest of us who will always be compared to bands that have made a name for themselves already it is harder now than ever and the struggles become even more frightening today. Awesome video Thanks for sharing this with all of us for guys like me who grew up as teenagers in the 80s we only seen what MTV and the mags let us see
