And as you know, it featured a new line-up, which is no question the most beloved line-up with of course Mustaine, Ellefson, Marty Friedman on guitar, who was one of the many that surfaced from the Mike Varney’s stable at Shrapnel Records, and Nick Menza on drums, who we would later find out was one of the best drummers Megadeth have ever had. It was produced by Mike Clink who was best known at the time for his work with Guns N Roses. In 1990, Megadeth released a new album, Rust In Peace. He too eventually left for a few years, but he made his way back. The mainstay back in the day was David Ellefson on bass. One thing about Megadeth, it was frontman / guitarist Dave Mustaine’s vehicle back in the day with the line-ups evolving and it continues to this day. Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? was excellent and while So Far, So Good…So What! was a little uneven, even that was good enough for me to blow through three-four copies of the cassette before I upgraded to a glorious copy on CD. While, I’m not a huge fan of the Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good! album, I absolutely loved what came afterward.
MEGADETH RUST IN PEACE KAPPALEET PATCH
The patch caught the attention of some older ‘rivetheads’ that were in the Metallica camp and they let me know it. I didn’t learn to sew until a couple years later. In fact, I recall going to a mall when I was 13 years old and I was wearing a denim jacket with the huge ‘classic’ logo sewn on it (by my mother of course). It was stupid, silly and ridiculous but very real. In the ’80s, there was this sort of divisiveness, you were either in the Megadeth camp or you were in the Metallica camp. I bought Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? before I picked up Master Of Puppets. I discovered Megadeth before I discovered Metallica. Megadeth have always occupied a special place in my heart.
