After being booted from Metallica in 1983, Dave Mustaine put together his own band Megadeth and two years later released the mediocre Killing Is My Business ... And Business Is Good. At the time, it seemed clear who the real genius in Metallica was, despite Mustaine's claims to the contrary. But a year later, when Megadeth unraveled Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying, Mustaine's boasting took on new relevance. Despite some rather inane lyrics, the disc is one of the most powerful and contagious thrash records of the era. In addition to the propulsive title track, the album features the scorchers "Wake Up Dead," "Black Friday," and "My Last Words." The band would later simplify and commercialize its sound, but here is where it shines darkest. --Jon Wiederhorn

1 out of 5 stars Horrid! Dave Mustaine destroyed his own greatness..........2007-07-25

The incredible classic speedmetal opus "Peace Sells...", here re-mixed by Dave Mustaine, has been completely trashed -- vocals horrible, transitions to leads awkward and ungainly, rhythm tracks bastardized -- why did he do it? It was perfect as it stood. Anything "re-mixed" should carry warning bells and a red flag; I got fooled once by Iggy Pop's destruction of the also-classic "Raw Power," now I can't find a copy of the *real* original (produced by Bowie). These rock divas need to get a grip and stop erasing history, I don't know at all what their deal is, but it is not a good one.

5 out of 5 stars 5 Stars to the original, The Remaster doesnt sound right though.......2007-07-24

"Peace Sells" happening to be my second favorite Megadeth album (Rust in Peace gets #1) and the only reason that I am writing this is to comment on the remastered version. Something just doesnt sound right. It seems like the songs were played around with to much. Its almost like it was re-recorded. When I go back to my copy on cassette, even though the sound is horrid, the songs seem to sound better when they are less polished. Sometimes lousy production does an album justice. I love remastered versions of most albums, but I only like it when they get more volume and a crisper sound with less hiss. When things are played with to much (such as Ozzy's horrid remasters of him re-recording certain parts w/ different musicans, or the remasters of Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon, which they ruined, but hey that sounds best on record.) Maybe its just me, but I would love to hear other comments from other Megadeth fans that own the orginal and see if it is just me. "Killing is my Business" seems to have the same problem, but besides the remastering problem, its still one of their best!

5 out of 5 stars Asking for Peace?.......2007-07-11

After a great debut album "Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!", Dave Mustaine and his band makes even better album. "The Conjuring", "Devil's island", "Good Mourning/Black Friday", "Bad Omen", and "My Last Words" are all great tracks about the danger of satanism. When Dave sings "I've Got Your Soul, I've Got Your Soul"...I think it is the most rudest and toughest sentence even sung... "Wake Up Dead" is a killer starter...there's no much lyrics but the guitar riffs are so excellent that they could kill all the false metal that exists in the world. Beware, Axl, Megadeth is coming... "I ain't Superstitious" (made by Willie Dixon) is the only track in this album that doesn't rock so much...it's like a track from 60's. "Peace Sells" is a killer track...fine "What Do You Mean 'I Don't Believe in God.' I Talk to Him Everyday..."

4 out of 5 stars Great album but I can't give it 5 stars..........2007-05-17

because let's be honest, Mustaine's vocals on here are not perfect. Yes, I know back then, the technology they were using wasn't the best but I cannot fully give an album 5 stars if the vocals aren't good. Besides that though, the musicianship and the songwriting is good. I guess my only complaint which doesn't add to whether I like it or not are the bonus tracks. What's the friggin' point? They are essentially the same track except are worse? I would rather just have the original songs or if you're going to put bonus songs on the CD, put b-sides or live versions, not worthless remixes.

5 out of 5 stars A+.......2007-04-20

I'm at work with nothing much to do so I'm writing reviews to kill time. It's on my iPod at the moment, therefore, I'll write about these 8 tracks.

I love these tracks to Deth. Rust in Peace I would say is their pinnacle along with Countdown to Extinction. I'm an easy listener, which means I listen to everything (Rock, Rap, Pop, ANYTHING). I would recommend this music to people who like Megadeth obviously. If you're new to it, you may not like Mustaine's voice, right off the bat at least. Give it time, i remember when I was even picky with music I still stuck with this album. That says a lot right there.

1 out of 5 stars Old Megadeth fans beware.......2007-06-12

Mustaine went and pulled a George Lucas on us! These songs sound like they've been re-recorded! Let alone 're-mastered'. This album doesn't sound the same at all anymore - in a really 'less heavy' kinda way...it's completely bizarre and quite an unwelcome surprise. Jeez Mustaine, why you fixin' stuff that ain't broken? I'm tempted to pawn this off man. He ruined his own material.

3 out of 5 stars Peace sells, and more people were buying. 3.5 stars........2007-06-02

More of the same metal musings from the poison pen of Mega main man Mustaine . On this sophomore release Megadeth take their thrash blueprint and add a far better production job to the brew with better songs writing and a bit more mobility to the mix. All of which makes for an improvement in the bans ability to raise their profile.

Musically it's the same crew from the debut locked into their roles. The thrash metal here is once again mostly anonymous filler metal. Yet where the debut only had one to-die-for tune in the form of the title track this album has two such numbers in the guies of the slow burn single Wake Up Dead and the more frenetic Peace Sells. Both, though especially the latter, hvae been embedded into metal folklore. Not to mention the great video for Peace Sells.

Anyway, I still can't justify giving this collection more than three stars due to the general sameness of a bunch of the tunes. And the thrash here hasn't yet morphed into the metal meltdown of Rust in Peace or Countdown to Extinction. Yet the rise of Mustaines machine can probably be said to start here, the first real rumblings towards being part of the 'big 4'.

5 out of 5 stars The 2nd best thrash album ever made. Just pure brutal metal!.......2007-01-16

Wow, what an album! This album is the 2nd best thrash album ever made only behind Megadeth's 1990 classic, Rust In Peace. After Megadeth released their 1984 masterpiece Killing is my business...And business is good, they weren't known as well as their crappy, overrated rival band Cockallica, but that changed in 1986 when Megadeth released arguably their best work in "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?". Dave Mustaine's and Chris Poland's solos reach new heights on this album and are truely amazing! This album features many Megadeth and thrash metal staples. Many in the forms of Wake Up Dead, Peace Sells(the best metal song ever), Good Mourning/Black Friday, Bad Omen, and My Last Words. This is Megadeth's darkest album. This record has 9 songs. Here are my reviews and comments for each song:

1. Wake Up Dead: Can you start off an album any better? You may argue that Megadeth's Holy Wars/The Punishment Due is better, but they're both great. Now on to the song. It starts off with a bang as Mustaine is singing as hard as he possibly can while playing guitar riffs as hard and as brutal as he possibly can. After the singing, Mustaine dishes out a scorchin' shredding solo. After that, the middle riffs come in which I love. In the middle part, Mustaine dishes out another shredding solo that's even faster than the first one while Chris Poland does a excellent shredding jazzy solo to give the song some originality. The tempo changes after that as the drums start speeding up more and Chris does some really nice rhythm guitar work. Dave starts singing again. After that, he dishes out yet another shredding solo that sounds very brutal. Almost slayer like! When that's done, a strong chant of "Wake Up Dead, You Die! And buried, Wake Up Dead, You Die! Wake Up Dead!" end the song. You can say that this is one hell of an opener to start off a classic and legendary album. 12/10

2. The Conjuring: This song is again musically stunning! It starts off with a nice creepy guitar piece by Mustaine. He then starts singing in a really unusual creepy voice which I think works really well. When Dave says "Obey!" the drums kick in to a fast beat for a couple of times. Dave then does a dark and shall I say haunting solo. It may not be one of the fastest solo's on the album but that doesn't take anything away from it. You have to love the sound of the solo and it shows that Dave doesn't have to shred to impress. After the solo, the drums and the song kick into high gear again which is accompanied by some great rhythm guitar work. After Dave says "Don't summon the devil, don't call the priest, if you need the strength, the conjuring, obey," another slow part of the song comes in and sets the standard for the next fast part. This slow section is complex and features a bone crunching riff. It's one of my most favorite riffs of all time. After the slow section, the song speeds up again and features the riff from the previous slow section. This part also features some of my most favorite lyrics in "I am the Devil's advocate a salesman if you will!" and "I've got your soul, I've got your soul." The second one mentioned is, in my opinion, one of the most brutal lines of all time. After about four verses of lyrics, the drums really kick into high gear and Dave does a nice little shredding solo. After that, there's a nice drum roll and Dave says "obey!" to finish the song. A great second track and I think that it's one of the most underrated Megadeth songs in their career. 10/10

3. Peace Sells: Honestly, who has not heard of this song? It's the best metal song of all time in my opinion and is a thrash metal ANTHEM! Seriously, if you're a metal head like me and haven't heard of this song, you need help. This song has the best lyrics of all time for a metal song. This song beats the crap out of Mastrobation of Puppets and Reign In Blood! Now on to the song, what great things about this song haven't already been said. It starts out with the most famous bass line of all time(MTV would always play this bass line at the end of their shows) by Dave Ellefson and yeah not by Cliff Burton(RIP) from the dumb band whose name I won't repeat. After the bass line, drums kick in and Dave does an excellent solo that everybody should know(honestly, who doesn't know it?). Dave then starts singing lines like, "What do you mean I don't believe in god, talk to him everyday." He also sings probably one of the most famous lines of all time in "If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line, but it better work this time." After Dave sings this the first time, Chris Poland does a beautiful shredding solo. Chris basically from here on out fills every line that Mustaine says with a solo. All of his solo fills are short but great. After Dave sings that line, "Itanw, Ibtfil, bibwtt," a second time, Poland and Mustaine trade off four solos beautifully. Two are done by Mustaine and two by Poland. The last solo of these four is a nice shredding solo by Mustaine. Then Dave says "Can you put a price on peace?" The song then starts building up even faster as Dave says Peace Sells a couple of times and Peace Sells...but who's buying a couple of times. When Dave says PS...bwb the fourth time, Chris does a really intense shredding solo with the drums pounding away in the backround. Dave says PS...bwb again with a "no, no, no, no , no" line as Chris does another little great shredding solo. Dave then says PS and Chris Poland does yet another great shredding solo. When Dave says PS for the last time the song comes to an end. I don't think that any heavy metal song will ever top this! This song has 13 SOLOS!! Count them. That's two more than Megadeth's Hangar 18. This here folks is what a THRASH METAL ANTHEM is all about!! 13/10

4. Devils Island: I love this track! It starts out with Dave doing a shredding but haunting solo. After the intro and the solo are done, a little slow part with a bass line by Dave Ellefson comes in. Then Dave starts talking about this hellish island that he's trapped on. He really talks in a weird and fast voice which I actually like unlike some other people. This song kind of sounds like a hair metal song with the "Devils Island!" chants. After 5 long verses of vocals, Dave does an excellent shredding solo that really gets me punped up! After about 1 1/2 more verses of vocals a slow part of the song comes in with some good guitar riffs. After that the song builds up again as Chris Poland dishes out a great shredding solo. Chants of "Devils Island!" end the song. I think that this track might be the most underrated track in Megadeth's line up. It has 3 great fast solos and is a fast song. 10/10

5. Good Mourning/Black Friday: Where in the world do I start with this one?! In my opinion, it's one of the best songs Megadeth has ever done! It's brutal, it's fast, and it's in your face! Oddly enough, it doesn't start out that way. It starts out with Chris Poland doing one of the most beautiful solos I have ever heard. It's not really fast but it's just the melody and the feel that make it so special. I almost cried when I first heard it. Chris might just be the only one to pull this kind of a solo off so beautifully besides Marty Friedman. After the "Good Mourning" line, Chris does another beautiful melodic solo. Then Dave Mustaine does a stunning shredding solo that also has great feel. It's arguably the best solo that he's ever done. After one verse of lyrics about a guy who "doesn't feel so good," a heavy as hell riff comes in and out of no where the song starts building up into the "Black Friday" part. In the beginning of the BF part, Dave does a great, lightning fast solo. After some drum beats, the song builds up even more and Dave starts talking about the guy who "doesn't feel so good" and talks about the rampage that he's going on. The lyrics are, without a doubt, some of the most brutal and violent lyrics I have ever heard of. Here's the first verse of lyrics, "Killer, intruder, homicidal man. If you see me coming run as fast as you can. Blood-thirsty demon who's stalking the street. I hack up my victims like pieces of meat." It doesn't get much more brutal than that folks. The tempo changes after that as Chris brings in an excellent and complex riff that goes on to the next four verses of lyrics. After these four verses of violent lyrics and a murderous "I will cut you down" lyric by Mustaine, Chris does a stunning, shredding, brutal, intense, and in your face solo. When that part comes up, my jaw drops to the floor every time. When that part comes up and happens, we should all be hanging by a blood soaked thread and blood should be coming out of us. That solo is what I call a mind-blowing and climactic moment. After two more verses of lyrics, the ending chants of "It's Black Friday, paint the devil on the wall" come in. The ending is probably the heaviest part of the song not that other parts of the song weren't heavy enough. After those chants, the song ends. This is, in my opinion, the heaviest song on the album. If you want an epic, look no further. This song is probably one of the heaviest and most brutal songs of all time. It is another musical stunner! Legendary! 12/10

6. Bad Omen: I absolutely love this song! The beginning is kind of similar to GM/BF except for it's played on different notes and played a little faster. Let me just say that the intro to this song is very haunting and dark which I love. The guitar work isn't the only reason why I love the beginning of this song, though, I also like how the drums are very creative and the riffs that are played while the drumming is going on are as heavy as hell. This song has the best drumming on the album. All of the guitar work in the intro is done by Poland including a excellent shredding solo at the end of the intro. After that, the song starts building up with some heavy as hell guitar riffs. Dave talks about a black magic ritual that goes bad in this song. After 2 verses of lyrics, Dave does a great, haunting solo. It's slayer like. He does another weird solo when he says "Bloody blasphemy." After that the song pauses and then comes right back in as Dave does one of the most unusual solos that I have ever heard of. It's slayer like again and there's one part of the solo that sounds almost like a distorted piano, weird huh? After that, he does yet another crazy solo! Excellent! After 1 fast verse of vocals, a "no one can save" and "no one can save, one can know" chant ends the song. A great track that is severly underrated by many. 10/10

7. I Ain't Superstitious: Okay here we go. The blues cover that everybody seems to hate. Why? I actually like it a lot! I think that doing this song was a great idea for Megadeth. So they wanted to try something different? So. I thought that this song gave Megadeth the chance to do something different other than thrash metal and it gave Chris Poland the chance to show off his blues/jazz talent. He does a great job at doing that in this song. It also gave Mustaine the opportunity to show off a little humor in his vocals other than the violent and mean side(and yes I like that side too). Dave also does a great job at sounding humorous in this song. Now on to the song. You can call this song a blues metal song since it has a bluesy atmosphere but still features metal riffs. At clocking at under 3 minutes, it's the shortest song on the album but has incredible speed at times. It starts off with a nice bluesy part by Chris and then Dave starts talking in a funny way. After each verse of vocals, a solo fill is done by Chris Poland. He does some beautiful and fast solos in this song. After all the verses and the solo fills, the ending comes in and the song really SPEEDS up! The ending features an excellent shredding solo by Poland. A very overlooked track. I think that Megadeth did an excellent job with this song. It's not dumb like a lot of you people think. 10/10

8. My Last Words: This is another stunning track! In fact, these might be the finest minutes in Dave Mustaine's career on this song, no joke! It starts off with a haunting guitar solo done by Poland. While he's doing that, Dave Ellefson is doing a really distorted and heavy bass part. Chris Poland than shows off the excellent riff that will be featured on this song. The song then gets going and Mustaine starts talking about playing a game of Russian roulette. A love the guitar riffs featured on this song. They are shredding riffs that you can really bang your head to. After the first three verses are done, the ending starts coming on. This whole ending is absolutely mind-blowing! The first part of the ending is Dave's solo. He does a great and fast solo. It's slayer like again and I think that it is one of the most creative and fastest solos of all time. After that, jaw dropping chants of "You, you, next victim, you next to die! You, you, next victim, you, your turn to die!" come in. While Dave is saying this, the drums are pounding away. The song and the album end perfectly with a line of "You die!" A stunning way to end a classic metal album! 12/10

And there you have it, the 2nd best metal album of all time! The only album that beats this stunning classic was Megadeth's magical 1990 classic and landmark metal album, "Rust In Peace." This album is more than a must for any metal head. It beats Mastrobation of Puppets and Reign In Blood by miles. In my opinion, THIS IS the album of 1986! Enough said! Buy it now or you aren't a true metal head. This album smokes!!!

5 out of 5 stars DTS Rocks.......2007-01-10

Why there is not more of these DVD's I don't know. They sound so good you feel like your on stage with the band

5 out of 5 stars Megadeth just keep getting better!!!.......2006-11-17

A lot of people believe that Megadeth is some crappy band to get back at Metallica, wrong. This Audio DVD proves that. This is what Metallica can't do. This album alone is a milestone in the thrash genre (Metallica only has good albums that people talk about, and its always their first few) but making this makes a great album better. I have been collecting up a few of these DVD-A discs and also enjoy the odd SACD, but out of the ones snaped up this is by far the best. I say for anyone that enjoys this album anyway, and has a system that supports DVD-A or a DTS enabled dvd player and amp, buy it, you wont be dissapointed.
Isnt it funny that Metallica were never going to make music videos when they started, but now that Dave has Gigantour and Arsenal of Megadeth is out, they have "pulled the shortest straw" to release a Music Video DVD.
Cheers Dave, and long live Rattlehead!

4 out of 5 stars Megadeth's best eighties album.......2005-01-21

Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? (1986.) Megadeth's second album.

Following his being exiled from Metallica, Dave Mustaine formed his own band, Megadeth. The band went through a few persona changes before releasing their 1985 debut album, Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!. Although that album was very rough around the edges, it DID show that the band had serious potential. Along with the same musicians that recorded the first album with him, Dave and company went into the studio, and recorded and released their sophomore effort, Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? in 1986. Read on for my review.

This album is by no means perfect, but it's a major step up from the band's previous album. I feel that this probably the band's most overrated album, but it's a rare example of a metal album that deserves its lofty reputation - this is the recording that would put Megadeth on the map. Most of the album is comprised of raw thrash tracks, similar to what was featured on the band's previous album as well as on Metallica's first album. However, when it comes to raw thrash tracks, Megadeth is king. Wake Up Dead, Peace Sells, and Bad Omen are instant thrash classics. One song on the album that is rather frequently debated is the Willie Dixon cover, I Ain't Superstitious. This song IS different from all the others, but I think people are too hard on it. It's an all around good tune. My personal favorite tune on the album, though, would have to be the medley of Good Mourning and Black Friday. What starts as a slow and melodic tune quickly evolves into fast and furious thrash as only Megadeth could do. This album isn't perfect by any means, but it was Megadeth's first wildly-popular album, and in more ways than not, the one that put them on the map. Four (out of five) stars.

At long last, a remaster of this album was released on July 27, 2004! And in addition to making the album sound better, it also adds in some alternate mix bonus tracks! These bonus tracks are really nothing spectacular (I would rather have seen demos, personally), but I'm not complaining - some band's remasters don't have any bonuses at all! As a final note about the mastering, I am NOT too crazy about Dave rerecording/altering parts of the tracks, but I DO like the remastered sound. If you're new to the band, I would recommend the remasters with the bonus tracks, despite the rerecorded parts. It's not like the recordings have been totally defiled - for the most part, the changes are for the better.

In the end, this is a very good album. Not Megadeth's finest by any means, but solid through and through nonetheless. I won't hesitate to call this the band's best album of the eighties. If you're just getting into Megadeth, this album would probably make for a pretty good starting point. If you want to know why so many metal fans love Megadeth, just listen to this album and you'll find out.

Album Description

After being booted from Metallica in 1983, Dave Mustaine put together his own band Megadeth and two years later released the mediocre Killing Is My Business ... And Business Is Good. At the time, it seemed clear who the real genius in Metallica was, despite Mustaine's claims to the contrary. But a year later, when Megadeth unraveled Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying, Mustaine's boasting took on new relevance. Despite some rather inane lyrics, the disc is one of the most powerful and contagious thrash records of the era. In addition to the propulsive title track, the album features four bonus tracks 'Wake Up Dead' (Randy Burns Mix), 'The Conjuring' (Randy Burns Mix), 'Peace Sells' (Randy Burns Mix) and 'Good Mourning/Black Friday' (Randy Burns Mix). EMI.

4 out of 5 stars Not there best... but still great!.......2004-08-14

This second album of Megadeth is not there best work... but still a grat album. A lot of Megadeth classic is in it (Peace Sells, Wake Up Dead, Devil's Island...). This is the last album of Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson... The only negative point in this album is that it is too short... Only 36.18min

Still a classic
