Guitarist Dave Mustaine was an original member of thrash-pioneers Metallica. But he was booted from the band during the recording of that band's debut album, KILL 'EM ALL. Instead of moping around, Mustaine returned to California and immediately formed another group--Megadeth. He promised his fans that the new outfit would be faster and more lethal than his former band, and Megadeth's 1985 debut, KILLING IS MY BUSINESS, AND BUSINESS IS GOOD, made good on this threat. Megadeth and Metallica duked it out in the music press, but both acts thrived. In 1986, each released its finest record, Metallica's MASTER OF PUPPETS and Megadeth's PEACE SELLS...BUT WHO'S BUYING?
While Metallica initially shunned MTV, Megadeth used the video format to its advantage--becoming the first thrash band to do so. Both "Wake Up Dead" and the anthemic title track received constant play on MTV's HEAVY METAL HOUR; the latter song's brief bass intro was even used as the theme to MTV news in the early-'90s. Tracks such as "The Conjuring," "Devil's Island," "Good Mourning/Black Friday," and a cover of Jeff Beck's "I Ain't Superstitious" proved to be just as brutal. PEACE SELLS is an influential, all-time heavy metal classic.

I will simply say that this E-bay purchase is exactly what it should be. The product was as described and was shipped right away.

This is one of the greatest metal albums of all time, certainly Megadeth at their best, however, I never received the CD because the seller ripped me off. This scumbag is a perfect example of an Ebay swindler, one that is all to common here. What is sad is that Ebay is infested and rife with these scammers, and refuses to do anything about it. Ebay actually makes it easy for these conmen to operate, while making it hard for legitimate and homest sellers and buyers to operate. Anyhow, this bastard ripped me off for $12, not much in the sceme of things, but multiply this by 10,000, and you get the idea.
