About this album
Rust in Peace is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth. It was released by Capitol Records in 1990. A remixed and remastered version, featuring several bonus tracks, was released in 2004.
Singles featured on the album include “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due”, and “Hangar 18”, both of which were made into music videos.
This was the first Megadeth album to feature Marty Friedman and Nick Menza.
Production
After being released from a twelve-step program, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine had hired drummer Nick Menza and guitarist Marty Friedman to record Rust in Peace, creating what would become the band’s first stable line-up, lasting to 1998. Bassist David Ellefson along with Mustaine were the only members who were not replaced. Rust in Peace was produced by Mike Clink, who previously co-operated with Whitesnake and Guns N’ Roses. Clink’s job as producer contributed to the outcome of the record, with Mustaine being satisfied with the results. Mike Clink was also Megadeth’s first professional producer.
The album’s name comes from a bumper sticker (below) that Dave Mustaine, the band’s main songwriter, saw on the back of a vehicle. From an interview with Mustaine:
“I was driving home from Elsanon… um, Lake Elsanon. I was tailgating somebody, racing down the freeway, and I saw this bumper sticker on their car and it said…

"i can´t understand how RIP.. Polaris has less listeners tan the rest of the album, its one of the best megadeth songs ever!!... ". . . The reason Polaris has such low amount of listeners it because it can be written as "Rust In Peace...Polaris", or "Rust In Peace... Polaris", or "Rust In Peace Polaris", or "Rust In Peace. . .Polaris" you get my point
