Megadeth released a remastered version of the album in 2004. The album had two singles: " Hangar 18" and " Holy Wars. It was the first Megadeth album with guitar player Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Menza. Capitol Records released it on September 24, 1990. Megadeth is an American thrash metal band. Thanks for reading.Rust in Peace is the fourth album by Megadeth. Also, with the set list that were performed, I have to declare that it was probably a “once in a lifetime” event, and I am glad I was there. For me, MEGADETH will always be the superior band to METALLICA. MEGADETH definitely deserved the crowd response they got that night. That was my first time seeing EXODUS, and they put on a great show (in spite of my reservations about Dukes). But, Mikael Åkerfeldt has such a great live repore with an audience, it is always a great time seeing them live. That being said, OPETH are just as flawless in the execution of their songs live. It’s like listening to the studio cuts with a crowd. MEGADETH were so flawless, and made it a point not to deviate from the song as it is, there seemed no point in seeing them live. I have to state this, about 5 songs in, I grew kinda bored. MEGADETH performed one enore song, obviously “Peace Sells”. After “Rust in Peace… Polaris”, we heard “Headcrusher” from the new release, as well as “Trust” & “Symphony Of Destruction”. Whenever Dave tried to banter with the audience, I could not understand what he was saying. It was AWESOME! The ‘DETH boys followed that up with, of course, “Hangar 18” and the rest of the release in sequence. You couldn’t even hear Dave because of the crowd singing the opening lyric… “ Brother will kill brother, Spilling blood across the land, Killing for religion, Something I don’t understand”. After playing a perfect rendition of “She-Wolf”, we hear the opening chords of “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due”. I mean just like playing the album at home. MEGADETH opened the show with “Skin O’ My Teeth” and “In My Darkest Hour”, back to back. He was aptly covered by, former MEGADETH guitarist, Glenn Drover. Also, it turns out that Alex Skolnick could not make the tour, due to a prior commitment to Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Especially since they had a “Tour Edition” of the new release, on sale, at the venue. I have to say I was disappointed not to hear anything off the new release. ![]() Also in their catalog are brilliant releases like The Gathering, LOW, and the very popular Practice What You Preach. However, TESTAMENT have a brilliant current release out entitled The Formation of Damnation. Don’t get me wrong, it was an excellent set, and MEGADETH had their work cut out for them. Before they concluded the set with the albums’ closer, they performed “Into The Pit” & “Souls of Black”. TESTAMENT went on to perform The Legacy release, in sequence, from beginning to end, with the exception of “Apocalyptic City”. Just because MEGADETH is doing RUST IN PEACE in its entirety, I didn’t know it was “Old School” night across the board. The guys opened with “Over The Wall” and I am like “Wow”. In all of THRASH, they are in my top 5, in all of METAL… my top 10. TESTAMENT, even more than MEGADETH, is why I am at this show. Then when TESTAMENT took the stage, it dawned on me why. I found it odd, EXODUS performed nothing from either of the “ Exhibit” releases. They also played “War Is My Shepherd” from Tempo of the Damned, right before the live favorite “Toxic Waltz”. It was great hearing some “Old School” tunes like “The Last Act of Defiance” & “Brain Dead”. He is no Steve Souza, or Paul Baloff… for the matter. I have to preface my opinions with the fact that I have only “checked out” the last 2 EXODUS releases and have not been too impressed. Current vocalist, Rob Dukes, is a decent Thrash Vocalist. The opening act was the long-suffering forefathers of Thrash metal, EXODUS. ![]() It took place at a venue called The Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia. I attended the The MEGADETH: RUST IN PEACE 2OTH ANNIVERSARY TOUR. So here is a taste of what I heard and saw on March 21, 2010.
