Rust in Peace is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth. Released on September 24, 1990, it was the third Megadeth album distributed through Capitol Records. The album was the band's only collaboration with record producer Mike Clink who was the first producer to successfully produce a Megadeth album from start to finish, without being fired. It was the first album to feature guitarist Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Menza, following the firing of both Jeff Young and Chuck Behler in 1989. It entered the Billboard 200 at number 23, and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA in 1994.[1]

There are nine tracks on the album, with lyrics inspired by subjects ranging from nuclear fallout, war, religion, Area 51 and fantasy. Two singles were released from the album: "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due", which have become staples of the band's live performances. Rust in Peace was very well received by both critics and fans and was responsible for bringing Megadeth to the attention of a mainstream metal audience, and it is considered one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time. The album was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 33rd Grammy Awards, and "Hangar 18" was nominated for the same award at the 34th Grammy Awards.[2][3] Allmusic described the record as "easily Megadeth's strongest musical effort", and it was noted as one of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

A remixed and remastered version, featuring several bonus tracks, was released in 2004. A limited edition 180g LP using the original mix was issued in the U.S. in 2008 by Capitol Records. In addition, in January 2010, the band announced that they would be doing a North American tour to commemorate the album's 20th anniversary. They performed the whole album live, including many tracks that have never previously been performed live, such as "Five Magics", "Poison Was the Cure", and "Rust in Peace... Polaris". Their performance at the Hollywood Palladium was filmed and released as Rust in Peace Live later that year.

Writing and recording

Megadeth appeared at the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donnington in the UK, alongside Kiss, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Guns N' Roses, and David Lee Roth, performing to an audience of more than 100,000 people.[4] The band was soon added to the "Monsters of Rock" European tour, but dropped out after the first show due to bassist Dave Ellefson's drug problems.[5] Due to further issues within the band, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine fired both drummer Chuck Behler and guitarist Jeff Young, and canceled their scheduled 1988 Australian tour.[6] The following year the band had hired drummer Nick Menza and guitarist Marty Friedman to join the band, creating what would become the band's first stable line-up. Dave Ellefson along with Mustaine were the only remaining members from the original line-up from 1984.[6]

The title "Rust in Peace" was inspired by a bumper sticker that Dave Mustaine saw on the back of a vehicle.[7] In an interview from 1990, Mustaine remarked, "I was driving home from Elsinore... um, Lake Elsinore. I was tailgating somebody, racing down the freeway, and I saw this bumper sticker on their car and it said... you know, this tongue in cheek stuff like, 'One nuclear bomb could ruin your whole day' and then I looked on the other side and it said, 'May all your nuclear weapons rust in peace' and I'm goin', Rust in Peace. Damn, that's a good title. And I'm thinkin' like, what do they mean, rust in peace? I could just see it now―all these warheads sittin' there, stockpiled somewhere like Seal Beach, you know, all covered with rust 'n' stuff with kids out there spray painting the stuff, you know."[7]

A revitalized Megadeth entered Rumbo Studios in March 1990. They were joined with producer Mike Clink, who had previously produced albums with Whitesnake, Guns N' Roses and Metallica.[8] For the first time in their career, the band worked sober in the studio, alleviating many of the problems that had faced recording previous albums.[9] Clink was also the first producer to successfully produce a Megadeth album from start to finish, without being fired. His job as producer contributed to the outcome of the record, with Mustaine being satisfied with the results.[9]

The opening song on the album, "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" finds its thematic inspiration derived from the Northern Ireland conflict, in which the Catholics were against the Protestants, and Mustaine's feelings concerning religion, amongst other things.[10] In an interview with the UK magazine "Guitarist", Mustaine says that he was inspired to write the song in Northern Ireland, when he discovered bootlegged Megadeth T-shirts were on sale and was dissuaded from taking action to have them removed on the basis that they were part of fund raising activities for "The Cause'.[10] Dave liked how "the cause" sounded and unknowingly dedicated a performance of Anarchy in the U.K. to it, where the audience quickly started to riot. Megadeth was forced to travel for the remainder of the tour in a bullet proof bus.[11] This incident further inspired the song, with the popular Marvel comic book character, The Punisher acting as a lyrical inspiration.[12]

Nick Menza thought of the concept for "Hangar 18", a song about UFO conspiracy theories, Area 51 and Hangar 18, a film which was later featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.[14] According to Menza, "Hangar 18 is a military installation that holds UFO artifacts and alien creatures as far as we know."[13] Mustaine remarked that "The idea's based on a place in the four corner state region of the United States... it's a place where the military intelligence is housing alien aircraft and alien life-forms. Not that I subscribe to this point of view or any of that kind of BS, but Nick is way into it."[13]

Politics, warfare and the environment are the main topics explored throughout the album, with songs like "Rust in Peace... Polaris" which is about intercontinental ballistic missiles, and their effects on the world. "Polaris" refers to the Polaris missile.[15] "Take No Prisoners" is a song about Prisoners of war and the killing of not just the enemy, but one's own soldiers, while "Dawn Patrol" is a song about the environment being destroyed by global warming and greenhouse gases, and the life of humans after a nuclear war.[13] "Five Magics" and "Lucretia" are fantasy inspired songs; "Five Magics" is based on the novel Master of the Five Magics and "Lucretia" is about a "ghost who lives in Mustaine's attic".[16] "Tornado of Souls" is about dysfunctional relationships and the hardship of breaking up, and "Poison Was the Cure" is a song about Mustaine's issues with heroin addiction.[13]

Artwork

The album's artwork was created by longtime Megadeth artist Ed Repka, who previously had designed the cover for Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?.[17] The album's two singles, "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" had promotional art created by Repka as well.[17] The cover features band mascot Vic Rattlehead and the leaders of the "five major world powers" of the early 90's.[18] The world leaders, from left to right, are former British Prime Minister John Major, former Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu, former German President Richard von Weizsäcker, former Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, and former American President George H. W. Bush.[18]

Rust in Peace was released on 24 September 1990, and it debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 23, Megadeth's highest charting album up to that point.[19] It was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA in 1994.[1] The album was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 33rd Grammy Awards, and "Hangar 18" was nominated for the same award at the 34th Grammy Awards.[2][3] These were Megadeth's first two nominations, and was the only time when a Megadeth album would receive two nominations.[20]

Rust in Peace received highly positive reviews by both underground and mainstream music critics. Reviewing for Allmusic, Steve Huey awarded the album four and a half stars, describing it as "easily Megadeth's strongest musical effort."[21] Entertainment Weekly critic Jim Farber awarded the album a B+ grade, calling it "brutality inventive" as well as "what can only be called nihilistic whimsy."[22] Mike Stango from Sputnik Music wrote that Rust in Peace is "widely considered to be one of thrash metal's finest albums."[23] Mike further remarked the song "Five Magics", "has a blistering two minute instrumental before Dave Mustaine's vocals kick in, leaving the band an excellent opportunity to show their stuff."[23] Metal Storm noted that the album is "undoubtedly one of the saviors of thrash during the early nineties, Megadeth really outdid themselves on this release."[24] MusicRadar ranked the album number 6 on their list of the "50 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time."[25] IGN named Rust in Peace the fourth most influential heavy metal album of all time, after Metallica's Master of Puppets, Black Sabbath's Paranoid and Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast.[26] Rust in Peace beat Metallica's Master of Puppets and was declared the best metal album of all time on a poll conducted by the BNR Metal Page.[27] It was also declared as one of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[28]

Christopher Foley of The Metal Crypt observed that: "'Holy Wars' is such a superb album opener, featuring many immense riffs and Dave Mustaine's oh so original vocal delivery – I love the way this guy snarls his lines out and they're so damn fun to imitate."[29] He further noted, "There's honestly not a bad word to be said about Rust in Peace. Just look at any track - they all have something special to offer, be it the ultra cool intro to "Lucretia" and the awesome riffage of "Tornado of Souls" and its ultra melodic feel."[29] Rolling Stone magazine described the album as one of Megadeth's "most beloved albums" and that "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" was a "classic".[30] When asked if Rust in Peace was his favorite Megadeth album, Dave Mustaine replied: "Yes actually, it’s a fun record for us to play. Sometimes you’re playing a record and it can be a little tiring, but we’ve been really excited about getting back down there and playing it some more."[31]

2004 remaster

In 2002, Mustaine remastered their debut Megadeth album, Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!.[32] Inspired by the positive reception of the re-release, he worked to remaster all of the subsequent Megadeth albums which had been recorded with Capitol Records, which included Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? up to Risk.[33] Rust in Peace was re-released in 2004 with a new sound, four new bonus tracks and a slightly different version of the cover art.[34] During the audio mixing process, Mustaine found that the original lead vocal tracks for "Rust in Peace... Polaris", "Take No Prisoners", "Five Magics" and "Lucretia" were all missing, which meant he had to re-record the vocals on "Take No Prisoners" and "Rust in Peace... Polaris" and use alternate takes for "Lucretia" and "Five Magics".[34]

Legacy

Dave Mustaine at Rust in Peace Live. "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" are played at almost every live show.

The tracks "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" and "Hangar 18" have become almost permanent additions to Megadeth's live set, and are fan favorites.[35] In early 2010, the band announced a North American tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Rust in Peace, with Testament and Exodus as openers.[36] The tour took place from March 1 to March 31, 2010 and included 22 shows.[37] At every show, the band performed the album in its entirety and in order. The first concert on the tour was also the first occasion on which "Five Magics," "Poison Was the Cure" and "Rust In Peace... Polaris" were ever played live.[38] Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, the band announced that it would carry on performing the entire album in the South and Central American tour dates which were to follow.[39] Coincidently, former long-time bassist and founding band member Dave Ellefson, who left the band in 2002, rejoined the band a short time before the tour began. He replaced James Lomenzo, sparking even more interest in the tour.[40] Ellefson stated in an interview for Classic Rock magazine that Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover contacted him and stated that bassist James LoMenzo was leaving the band, and that "if ever there was a time for you and Dave to talk, now is it."[41]

In 2010 Shout! Factory released a live recording filmed on the Hollywood Palladium stop of the tour.[42] The release, titled Rust in Peace Live is the first Megadeth release since 2002's Rude Awakening to feature Dave Ellefson. The live album was released on September 7, 2010 in Blu-ray, DVD, and CD formats.[43] The album debuted at 161 on the Billboard 200 and number two on the Billboard DVD charts.[19]

Rust in Peace in its entirety was released as purchasable downloadable content in the rhythm game Rock Band, a part of the their "Rust in Peace Download Package".[44] Up to that point, other than the song "Peace Sells" no Megadeth songs had yet been made available for the series.[45] A cover version of "Holy Wars" by Steve Ouimette was featured in Rock Revolution.[46] "Holy Wars" was also featured in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock,[47] while "Hangar 18" was featured in Guitar Hero II[48] and as downloadable content for Guitar Hero 5.[49] Both songs have been described as amongst the most difficult songs in the series' history.[47] In further pop culture, a reference to the ending of the "Hangar 18" music video was made in an episode of Duck Dodgers, an animated television series.[50] In the episode "In Space, No One Can Hear You Rock" the title character resurrects Dave Mustaine from a cryopreservation to play loud enough to overload an evil alien device.[51] Dave voices himself in the episode.[50]

A sequel to "Hangar 18", titled "Return to Hangar" was featured on Megadeth's ninth studio album The World Needs a Hero. It concludes the fictional narrative begun in "Hangar 18", where the life-forms said to be contained in Hangar 18 come back to life and kill those inside the building before escaping.[52] Both "Hangar 18" and "Return to Hangar" were played live consecutively on the live DVD That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires,[53] and "Holy Wars" and "Hangar 18" were the two opening songs during Megadeth's performance at The Big 4 Live from Sofia, Bulgaria.[54] Marty Friedman, who recorded on Rust in Peace, covered the song "Tornado of Souls" on his solo album Future Addict in 2008.[55] Megadeth tribute band Primitivity performed an instrumental cover of "Hangar 18" on their debut cello rock album Plays Megadeth For Cello in 2010.[56] Russian thrash metal band DeadXheaD covered the same song on their debut album Regressive by Default in 2006.[57] "Hangar 18" was covered by Fairlight and "Holy Wars" was covered by Mind-Ashes on the Megadeth tribute album Megaded - A Tribute To Megadeth released in 1999.[58] Both "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars" were also featured on the 2005 compilation album Greatest Hits: Back to the Start, where fans voted on the track listing.[59]
