The only track I can safely say that I'm glad is short is Dawn Patrol, which seems more like a filler than anything else. Lucretia, another superb effort from the band just misses the four minute mark, which is disappointing, as it is one of the album's most enjoyable tracks to listen to. Poison Was the Cure is an excellent song and builds up great momentum, yet is only 2:56 long. If I had any complaints about Rust in Peace, it would be the song lengths. That sad, I only have the remaster version of the album, which features different vocal tracks on some of the songs, so I'm not sure how good or bad his vocals are in the original. Dave has some of his best vocal outings in the opening track, Holy Wars…The Punishment Due, particularly during the latter, as well as Tornado of Souls, which is perhaps the most emotional song on the album. However he shines during at certain moments too. While they aren't bad outings, Dave's snarling vocal technique at times feels incoherent (as in Poison Was the Cure) or just plain bad. It's not too hard to see why, especially on songs such as Take No Prisoners and Poison Was the Cure. Many people who listen to Megadeth are not fans of Dave's vocals. The actual solo is slower than a lot of the other solos you'll find on Rust in Peace for the most part, but just as enjoyable, proving that Marty doesn't have to shred to impress. Quite possibly my favourite solo of them all, it is one of Marty's more melodic solos. Another impressive solo from Friedman comes up during Tornado of Souls. The guitar-off between Marty and Dave is one of the album's best moments. Need proof? Just check out the last two to three minutes of the second song on the album, Hangar 18. By pairing Marty Friedman with Dave Mustaine, Megadeth suddenly had one of the most potent duos in the scene. Marty's skill on the guitar is by far the highest of any member of Megadeth past, present, and most likely future. If you're a fan of thrashy riffs than look no further than Rust in Peace.Īnother big reason why Rust in Peace is such a good album is guitarist Marty Friedman. The song has a blistering two minute instrumental before Dave Mustaine's vocals kick in, leaving the band an excellent opportunity to show their stuff. Another excellent example of Rust in Peace's riffs is the fourth song, Five Magics. The song is very fast, and contains violent riffs, perfect for headbanging. Just check out the album's third song, Take No Prisoners. Each song on the album, save Dawn Patrol (a song with just drums, bass, and vocals), contains the best riffs Dave has ever written. But he steps up is performance on Rust in Peace. Songwriting is top notch on Rust in Peace, and is anyone really surprised? Back in the day Dave Mustaine wrote some of the thrashiest riffs on albums such as Kill 'Em All, Killing is my Business, and Peace Sells…But Who's Buying. Heavy, fast, technical, Rust in Peace has it all, and is widely considered to be one of thrash metal's finest albums. Save for mainstream success, he pretty much succeeded with the band's 1990 release, Rust in Peace. Dave wanted to be faster, heavier, and more successful than Metallica. Dave started Megadeth to get back at his former band mates (and because he was no longer in a band, but most people tend to ignore this). The feud, in a way, helped create the band that Dave Mustaine has toiled in for over twenty years. Whether you're a fan of thrash or not, chances are you've at least heard of Dave Mustaine's infamous feud with colossal metal band, Metallica. ![]() Megadeth is a band every metalhead knows.
