Everybody agrees that Rust in Peace, Peace Sells and Countdown to Extinction are Megadeth's best and most popular records, but for me, personally, the first half from Youthanasia is just flawless
Youthanasia is a fucking masterpiece, such amazing songwriting on that album. I whole heartedly believe that Youthanasia fell victim to being released during a time where metal as a whole,in a sense, was practically dead. This mainly coming from the rise and popularity of the grunge movement. Therefore this album took a backseat to a lot of the other stuff being released at the time, it hadn't near the promoting and airtime on MTV as previous years and albums and for anyone who was old enough to remember will tell you how much that had to do with a artist or album being successful. It was still a success, but with a flood of new music and bands from a newly discovered genre, it didn't receive the recognition or notoriety it deserved. At that time most bands of yesteryear were changing their sound and trying to go with the new trend and totally sold out instead of just writing what they truly felt. That's not saying a bands sound can't change and evolve, there's a big difference between evolution and premeditated bullshit. Once an artist changes their sound or process because someone else tells them it's in their best interest, or because they believe it's in someone else's best interest, instead of writing it for themselves is the difference. It then loses its rawness and appeal and the universe and future as a whole suffers from such decisions.
@@augmentedhat16 and Vortex (among some really great more commercial singles)... and when i say commercial it is not in a bad way because they do still bang imo.
Agreed! Personally I feel like Megadeths return to their roots wasn't on The World Needs A Hero or The System Has Failed. It was with United Abominations.
Agreed 100%. Especially the re-recording of A Tout le Monde with Cristina Scabbia. My mother caught me in my room headbanging to that song more than once.
Peace Sells was the album that introduced me to Megadeth and is still one of my absolute favourite metal albums but I think my number one probably has to be Rust as well, such a fucking shredfest of an album from both Dave and Marty Friedman
For sure, Peace Sells has some of the most groundbreaking work in the history of both thrash and metal in general. The sick beats Gar was pulling off with such precision at high speeds, along with some really vibey tempos in some parts, no doubt fueled by his Jazz roots and copious amounts of heroin. I still believe Gar was a better drummer back then than most drummers are today, save for a few untouchable legends like Danny Carey. That and the riffs man! Every song a riff fest is the name of the game, and fast riffs that are not only primarily represented by the guitar work as it usually does with Megadeth, but it has a lot of bass stand-out moments with Junior giving some fast bass lines in My Last Words' verses for example, or in pretty much any other song. Bad Omen and the gem that is Good Mourning... Black Friday come to mind. My favorite Megadeth album wobbles constantly between Rust in Peace and this masterpiece. But for me, no one can deny that all of them have really good music,. Yes, even Risk. Prince of Darkness, I'll Be There, Time (Both), Wanderlust, Seven, all great songs. I personally even like the non-metal songs like Ecstasy and Breadline.
(Edit: Thanks for all the good vibes and opinions. ✌🏻) Peace sells used to be my favorite but Youthanasia really sticks to my ribs, it's my all time favorite album next to Count Down to Extinction.
It is great and even cryptic writings and risk I love them yet I have a very soft spot for the world needs a hero that is just such a jamming record the lead guitar is off the chain
Jeff Young was and is a killer guitar player! His playing on Set the World Afire blows my mind. Of course, I'm talking about So Far So Good So What. The whole album is just Mustaine and Young riffing and trading solos. Dave Elffeson's bass playing with the kick-ass drummer makes it a stoner's delight and thrashes you over the head and makes you ready to fight.
id say with Countdowns drum and bass. the guitar tone on RIP depends a lot on the drums and bass but the vocals would be fine if just turned up a bit with this new hypothetical mix
I'd heard Megadeth songs before I became a fan but I'd have to say my favourite album by them is the first one I bought and it's United Abominations, I just loved the eve of distruction vibe that album had.
My personal favorite Megadeth Album will always be Youthanasia. I know it's a drop in their heaviness but the song writing is so bloody fantastic. Songs like Elysian Fields and I thought I knew it all hit me in such a massive way. It's also the album that carries a lot of nostalgia for me. Hell, I was only 13 when it was released and circulated through my walkman for 3-4 years. Hell, I love all their albums but that one holds a special place. :)
Agreed! I always mention how superb the songwriting is on that album. I think it's by far their best from a songwriting standpoint. Such great arrangements, melodies and lyrics. Along with such killer production, the tone on that album is huge and they sound so tight. Truly an undermentioned/underappreciated masterpiece.
Really respectable musical taste you have,Dave!And you're not the only musician/singer that hasn't one's own favourite recording.I'm a simple listener who's saying it,by the way.All the best!
Somehow, as a big fan of all kinds of Rock and Metal, I passed over Megadeth. About a month ago, I decided to finally give it some time and began listening to their albums. I am loving it, and I'm so happy to have a large catalog of music to discover with them! I also enjoy collecting music, so I tracked down and bought Rust in Peace on cassette and have been jamming to it in my car everytime I drive. It's easily become one of my favorite albums!! Now I'm looking to see Megadeth in concert this year!
I'm a Metalhead but I love Fleetwood Mac , The Eagles , Bob Seger , Heart and of course Zep and Floyd. Too many to list but MEGADETH I can listen to anytime.
Peace Sells! Easily the best for me! Great songwriting and Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson destroying! I actually love the first 3 albums. After that Megadeth became too precise and mechanical for my tastes.
I love that album. I'll never forget hearing Wake up Dead the first time, the first solo is what I call "face melting" quality, let alone all the other badass solos on that album.
@@yearginclarke that's my favorite song of theirs. RIP is my favorite album but Dave's ending solo in Wake Up Dead blew my mind when I first heard it after that cool ass transition
peace sells and killing are technically and very cleverly written albums, some of the guitar work is off the grid and so different to any other band around at the time.
You know, over the last few years Dave Mustaine has really grown on me as a person. He's also got a great taste in music (along with his sisters!) and, of course, he showed cancer where the f*** it can go.
Dystopia... Just clear your heart and mind, accept the fact that the songs are catchier and the guitar works have more clarity and focus. It contains almost all previous Megadeth elements, and uniquely, while it doesn't really contain any "new element" that hasn't been done before, it still sounds fresh and distinct. Revolving and evolving at the same time. I hope the next album would be at least twice as good.
It's my second least favourite of theirs simply because it's the only one I put on and didn't remember anything from after having listened to it. It's technically impressive but emotionally absent, just chugs by for a length of time and then stops. Can't say that about any of their others.
The writing on dystopia felt like it could have easily been written by Alex Jones. That's my #1 criticism and for me it makes the songs almost unlistenable despite the instrumentals being pretty good.
@@droptherapy2085 Yup. Dave's political songs are cringeworthy. It's been really really bad since around Endgame. Some songs are memorable but the political crap is horrible.
Dystopia is what got me into Megadeth. Never really gave them a lot of attention until then for some reason. Just goes to show that the audience can continue to grow and grow when you continue to put out amazing records!
I first heard Megadeth's symphony of destruction when guitar hero world tour came out to Wii, and I used to listen to that song only. But back in 2017 I looked more into Megadeth's discography and oh boy was I hooked.
RUST is their pinnacle album. At least, for me it is. It hit at the perfect time… so much great metal was being produced. Gen Z was a lucky generation.
So many good albums. I discovered Megadeth starting with Peace Sells. Then KIMB and worked through the discography. My favourite song of theirs is probably Bad Omen or Good Mourning/Black Friday. However, favourite album has to be RIP. As a guitar player, I've learnt so much from that album. Criminally underrated albums include Youthanasia and Endgame. Love me some Train of Consequences and Elysian Fields. I will say, I'm not a massive fan of Dystopia BUT Kiko is a fucking genius. I hate that he always seems to be in Marty's shadow. He's so talented. Watch some of their recent live videos and Kiko is just amazing. 100% a guitar virtuoso.
I still love Killing is my Business the best. It is so fast, ferocious and intense. But the two Peaces are both amazing. Lots of other good ones as well, Megadeth is by far my favorite thrash band.
Peace Sells But Who's Buying is my favorite. Followed by Rust and Countdown. All three are classics were great when they first came out and just as great today.
Peace Sells is mine. Some tracks on there even touch on death metal. I did guess Rust in Peace was his but there's no denying that album is when they sounded so solid.
My favorite MegadeatH album will always be Rust In Peace. My late brother introduced me to metal Every time I listen to MegadetH I think of my brother and it makes me feel free and happy. Thank you Dave for all the good times. Megadeth for life 🙏🏼❤️
I remember seeing Dave Mustaine on Rock and Roll Jeopardy on VH1 back in the day. There was an Elton John category, and Dave had the answer for every question before they could finish reading it. He legit knows his Elton John.
If we want to include Elton John, he offers a great taste of his work on his BEST OF CD. As far as MEGADETH goes, I have a real weakness for "The World Needs a Hero."
I am so glad I got to see this epic man and his epic band live in Michigan in 2021. It was my first time ever going to a MEGADETH concert. They headlined, and also Lamb of God, Trivium, and Hatebreed were there too - so completely SICK concert. It was bittersweet, because I felt like this would be the last time I would get to see him live and was not only my first Megadeth show, but might be my last. Megadeth got me through my military service... it was there for me during a hard time for me personally. A few days after the concert, I had this crazy dream about getting to meet Dave at that very same concert (even though I never had that pleasure) and that he said he was "going home to die"... and a bunch of other weird crap (of course you know how dreams are). Specifically his extended family and fair weather friends were also there behind stage like vultures and ready tp "pick at the bones" so to speak... they didn't really care about Dave. I hope that part was all fantasy in the dream. I woke up and told my wife about it and she said something that I think really nailed it. She said, "Dave was an important part of your memory and your history, and how you got through some tough times. That might have been your subconscious preparing you to say goodbye". I thought that was very insightful...
Rust in Peace is perfect. Everything that makes Megadeth great is on that album. The raw power from dave's rythm guitar and the melodies are so tasteful, in the vocals and the guitars. The bass sounds so crisp and the drums are so dense. Composition wise the songs are so inventive and game changing. They went everywhere
Was convinced he was going to say either Super Collider or Risk. All jokes aside Thirteen is their most underrated album. Not sure why so many people don’t like it
Crazy how he's able to give such an interview while asleep
Heroin much?
@@Joe-eq8we Cancer unfortunately, not anymore but he did age alot. Not surprisingly tho knowing what that fucking decease does to ones body.
Cancer is evil. He looked very different before it.
Sleepy Dave!!
He's also back into drinking. But hey if I survived cancer, I'd have a few glasses myself.
Rust In Peace is my favorite album as a whole, but Peace Sells contains my favorite song: Good Mourning/Black Friday
Same here. My top 3 favorite songs are GM/BF, Holy Wars and Devils Island but my favorite album is Rust In Peace lol
Yeah rust will always be the top 1, but I varie between every album, some days I crawe so far so good and other days some youthanasia!
GM/BF is such a rad song.
Brilliant taste 👍
Are u dave mustaine? Don't think so....
Everybody agrees that Rust in Peace, Peace Sells and Countdown to Extinction are Megadeth's best and most popular records, but for me, personally, the first half from Youthanasia is just flawless
The last half is too
That whole record is incredibly good
Completely agree, Youthanasia is just incredibly good
Rust in Peace is in it's league, Countdown to Extinction is very solid, but Youthanasia is HARD
I like everything they did through youthanasia. I think that whole album is great and so far so good so what is a badass album too.
Youthanasia is a fucking masterpiece, such amazing songwriting on that album.

@@YungDebuff yeah especially songs looking down the cross and rattlehead
Yeah, that's a great Megadeth album.
very good album
I agree with Dave Rust in Peace is a classic
@@dave23024 Nah Lucretia has the cutest riff!" :)
It was over produced. So Far So Good had a better, rawer as sound
@@StuartSeaton SFSGSW sounds ass imo.
They're not my favorite albums of all, but _United Abominations_ and _Endgame_ are criminally underrated.
Agreed! Personally I feel like Megadeths return to their roots wasn't on The World Needs A Hero or The System Has Failed. It was with United Abominations.
Endgame is the heaviest I love it
Endgame is phenomenal
Agreed 100%.
Especially the re-recording of A Tout le Monde with Cristina Scabbia.
My mother caught me in my room headbanging to that song more than once.
UA its kinda slow but It have so many good riffs and solos
How Dave is able to tour and play Megadeth songs is mind boggling. Good for him and the fans, it’s stunning and miraculous.

Countdown to extinction was my introduction
my intro to megadeth was symphony of destruction
I have it on dvd-audio 5.1 and it's excellent. Really loud.
RIP is my all time favorite, it changed my perspective of the genre, and showed me that Dave is a great guitar player
Risk was my first. It has so many songs that bring back memories for me. I love to break it out on long car rides
Nice to meet another Risk fan.
If you like Risk, you should check out their good albums. 🤘
Agreed. What a band. Metal bands are the most versatile
(Edit: Thanks for all the good vibes and opinions. ✌🏻)
Peace sells used to be my favorite but Youthanasia really sticks to my ribs, it's my all time favorite album next to Count Down to Extinction.
Yes.countdoqn m8the4f7cking perfect songwriting!!!@!@
Youth is so underrated man.
I completely agree.
Youthanasia is probably my favourite!
It is great and even cryptic writings and risk I love them yet I have a very soft spot for the world needs a hero that is just such a jamming record the lead guitar is off the chain
I love So Far So Good So What. I feel like that one doesn't get enough love. It has some really great stuff on it.
"Into the lungs of hell" is on my daily play list
@@SuperPsychoterror good song. My favorites from that are Hook in Mouth and In My Darkest Hour
I love the decor in Dave's room dark grey wall colour and very comfortable are chair and sofa...great taste
I love how honest Dave was. Musicians always say their last album is their Favorite, so to hear Dave say "Rust" & "Dystopia" was really refreshing!!!
i mean there's hardly any competition between rust in piece and other albums
Jeff Young was and is a killer guitar player! His playing on Set the World Afire blows my mind. Of course, I'm talking about So Far So Good So What. The whole album is just Mustaine and Young riffing and trading solos. Dave Elffeson's bass playing with the kick-ass drummer makes it a stoner's delight and thrashes you over the head and makes you ready to fight.
Thats my 3rd favorite. It is awesome !
Mustaine plays all the rhythm tracks but Young did some cool solos for sure.
I'm here for Dave. Loudwire is trash.
Dude I agree. The beginning of that track is so wholesome. My mind exploded when I heard that song for the first time. It still gives me goosebumps.
So Far So Good So What is amazing, that record got me through some tough times back in the day! Its my 3rd favorite behind Rust and Peace Sells
So far, So good...So what ! is such a great and criminally under appreciated album. That's the one that started me on Megadeth
I agree
My first Megadeth album and my favourite
Same here, and it's still my favourite Megadeth album.
It also contains one of the greatest songs Dave has ever written, "Hook In Mouth". Brilliant album.
Absolutely. Some killer songs on it.
Between Rust In Peace and Countdown for absolute best Megadeth album for me. I really like Peace Sells and Youthanisa too.
Rust in Peace is my favorite but Countdown is a close second and the production on that album is amazing. Imagine rust with the countdown production
Countdown is good as a stand alone album. But it does mark a pretty major shift in Megadeths style
That's the 2004 remix for you; oddly enough though I don't like Countdown's production
I don’t like countdown production the drums sounded worse
I like the original Rust in Peace production, but wish it was louder. That being said, I'll take the OG over the remasters any day.
id say with Countdowns drum and bass.
the guitar tone on RIP depends a lot on the drums and bass
but the vocals would be fine if just turned up a bit with this new hypothetical mix
Dave’s always been one of my musical hero’s he’s come along way and so have I very intelligent guy happy he’s still around
My fav Megadeth record has always been Peace Sells. It was my first one and it blew me away, made me pick up the guitar just like Van Halen I.
Peace Sells, hands down my favourite by a long shot
@Stephen Hughes damn I actually love that song lol.
He’s just a little stitious
It's a great LP!! and the video with the kid in the SLAYER shirt!!
His vocals on Killing is My Business, I loved them to DETH!
yes!!
And his voice on So far so good so what! Closest thing we had to black metal Mustaine!
Killing...was my introduction to Megadeth. Definitely my favorite, and the #1 Thrash album...period.
Peace Sells is my favorite. I love the remastered version, nice and loud.
Dave I adore all your albums- You`re exceptionally imaginative artist !!!
Same. Hard to choose between Rust and Dystopia. A time honoured classic and a modern masterpiece. Can’t wait to hear the new album.

Dave: “Get ready for the new album The Sick The Dying and The Dead!”
Who cares what the title is WE WANT THE DANG ALBUM ALREADY
Isn't about the pandemic but about the previous diseases that plagued humanity
Peace Sells has a unique spirit & soul about it. The way it makes you feel is like no other Megadeth album.
I love every album
Killing is my business is definitely my favorite, it’s literally the definition of thrash! Mechanix was the song that introduced me to Megadeth🎸🤘🏻
Peace Sells is still my favorite. I wish the 1st album had that tone. Then RIP, Dystopia, and SFSGSW.
I'm a Metalhead but I love Fleetwood Mac , The Eagles , Bob Seger , Heart and of course Zep and Floyd. Too many to list but MEGADETH I can listen to anytime.
Just got into Megadeth and honestly they all slap me to World War 6
I'll second that
We get Megadeth Lamb of good and in Flames in my area. Can’t wait
Peace Sells! Easily the best for me! Great songwriting and Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson destroying!
I actually love the first 3 albums. After that Megadeth became too precise and mechanical for my tastes.

You know, over the last few years Dave Mustaine has really grown on me as a person. He's also got a great taste in music (along with his sisters!) and, of course, he showed cancer where the f*** it can go.

For me its KIMB because of how raw and energetic it is. It's such an exciting listen. I still listen to it at least once a week on cassette.
I love all their works. Hidden Treasures is my favorite.
I wanted to mention that one. It has some really heavy stuff. Breakpoint and Angry again !
Rust In Peace is a given, but I also LOVE Dystopia! I listen to "Death from Within" almost daily beause it's SO freaking HEAVY and the lyrics CRUSH!!!

Rust in peace is a masterpiece
is nobody gonna talk about that Facelift frame on Dave's room?

My favorite MegadeatH album will always be Rust In Peace. My late brother introduced me to metal Every time I listen to MegadetH I think of my brother and it makes me feel free and happy. Thank you Dave for all the good times. Megadeth for life 🙏🏼❤️
Dave is the man! I could listen to him all day! 🤘😎
I remember seeing Dave Mustaine on Rock and Roll Jeopardy on VH1 back in the day. There was an Elton John category, and Dave had the answer for every question before they could finish reading it. He legit knows his Elton John.
Yeah Dystopia is a really good album
Dystopia and Rust in Peace are favourite 2 Megadeth albums too, it’s filled with great songs
If we want to include Elton John, he offers a great taste of his work on his BEST OF CD. As far as MEGADETH goes, I have a real weakness for "The World Needs a Hero."
It's incredible. People miss out on it, Endgame, The system has failed, united abominations, etc. 2010-2020 was a decade owned by Megadeth.
@@59thfsaviation79 I know. If only we had the time to listen to everything worth hearing. :)
Rust in Peace is my favorite one too. Dystopia is killer too.
Rust in Peace is waaaaay better than Dystopia.
FUCK YES!
Oh yea. There’s about 8-9 Megadeth records I like more than Dystopia
@@scipio8866 me too. Honestly, the only albums I like less than Dystopia are Risk and Super Collider.
Dude ages 5 years every year.
System has failed is very underated.
Digging that Facelift in the background!!
I thought So Far So good So what, was better than Peace Sells.
Everyone admires brave people
Nobody mentions about Youthanasia , its my favourite with the Killing Road's solo.
Rust in Peace is a masterpiece, the best metal album ever.
At last! Someone who realises "one of" before "the best" is not needed in this sentence!
Rust in Peace and its not close. Idk why they don't go back to that heavy metal melodic sound that made that album legendary
Damn, time is passing fast. Everyone I like is getting old…
Highly appreciate the "Facelift" Vinyl in the background!
Noticed that, too. A personal favorite from AIC to me.
Just the other day I found The System Has Failed album in my local record store. I'm looking for reasons to drive places now
I absolutely agree. Rust in peace and Dystopia are my two favorites.
Gotta agree with Dave on fav albums
I am so glad I got to see this epic man and his epic band live in Michigan in 2021.
It was my first time ever going to a MEGADETH concert. They headlined, and also Lamb of God, Trivium, and Hatebreed were there too - so completely SICK concert. It was bittersweet, because I felt like this would be the last time I would get to see him live and was not only my first Megadeth show, but might be my last.
Megadeth got me through my military service... it was there for me during a hard time for me personally.
A few days after the concert, I had this crazy dream about getting to meet Dave at that very same concert (even though I never had that pleasure) and that he said he was "going home to die"... and a bunch of other weird crap (of course you know how dreams are). Specifically his extended family and fair weather friends were also there behind stage like vultures and ready tp "pick at the bones" so to speak... they didn't really care about Dave.
I hope that part was all fantasy in the dream. I woke up and told my wife about it and she said something that I think really nailed it.
She said, "Dave was an important part of your memory and your history, and how you got through some tough times. That might have been your subconscious preparing you to say goodbye". I thought that was very insightful...
Rust in peace is a record that played a huge roll in the evolution of Metal. Hanger 18!!!!
my favourite album is rust in peace, i was listening the the whole album songs almost every day when i was young, more than thousand times
Rust in Peace is perfect. Everything that makes Megadeth great is on that album. The raw power from dave's rythm guitar and the melodies are so tasteful, in the vocals and the guitars. The bass sounds so crisp and the drums are so dense. Composition wise the songs are so inventive and game changing. They went everywhere
Was convinced he was going to say either Super Collider or Risk.
All jokes aside Thirteen is their most underrated album. Not sure why so many people don’t like it
Totally agree with Dave. Rust in Peace and Dystopia are my favorites too
At a few moments I thought this was an Ozzy interview !
DM is obviously tired, respect to him for being there for the interview.
