29 - Megadeth Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? 1986

After leaving Metallica in 1983, Dave Mustaine founded his own band Megadeth and two years later, he released the killing debut "Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good". The album had unfortunately a thin production, but it could convice with its music. The second record "Peace Sells…But Who's Buying", which was/is a milestone in Speed/Thrash Metal. The guitars pack a fairly powerful punch, letting the aggression of each riff and lead hit your ears with tasteful ferocity, yet keeping a slight melodic tone to show off the virtuosity. The basslines are very prominent in the mix. Dave's riffs are very complex, something noticeable about his guitarplaying is the heavy amount of New Wave of British Heavy Metal influence in his riffs and solos, particularly Iron Maiden. The best song written in Megadeth history is this one. Starting with a superb bass intro, it evolves into a really badass midtempo pounder with excellent catchy lyrics.
