Released worldwide on September 24, 1990, Rust in Peace was a hit with fans and critics alike, debuting at No. 23 in the US and No. 8 in the UK The album featured the singles "Holy Wars", "The Punishment Due" and "Hangar 18", Rust in Peace went on to sell more than a million copies in the US and received Grammy nominations in 1991 and 1992 for Best Metal Performance.
I saw that tour in Houston 1991. Best concert I've ever been to. And I've been to hundreds of concerts. It was aic, then megadeth, slayer, and Anthrax closed.
back then, you had massive ego's esp dave mustaines what would it actually mattr who opens {alice in chains apparently because they were "still green" {new} and who closes the show a feud between megadeth and slayer its history, it's in the past the most Importnt thing is the kids had a good time its about entertaining them they are the reason you hve them nice houses, all the drugs and booze access to anything you want but just don't forget about those kids who worked double shifts at mcdonalds just to save and watch you play, DON'T forget where you came from, and who helped you along the way... STAY BRUTAL!!!
nick said in interviews, when nick was injured and staying in hospital, dave found a replacement, then dave called and said nick's service wasnt needed anymore. what a jerk.
This is quite a throwback. I wasn't alive to see this tour but I got to see them one last time before the Palace was torn down during the tour they did after the th1rt3en album came out. I miss the Palace, now we gotta go to pine knobs overpriced shit or freedom hill
I kind of like that his drum riser/rack squeaks loudly right before each snare hit. The motion of his arm to do the snare hit must cause the specific movement in the rig to make the metal on metal friction sqeak each time.
This is fantastic! Byzantine is one of the most underrated metal bands. Somewhere they have a cover of Frayed Ends of Sanity by Metallica that is incredible as well. The metal world should give them their due!
I saw the show in Lakeland and it was freaking insane. Slayer played second and the barricade by the stage kept breaking and falling over. In their live album that they released in the early 90s, CD1 what's the Lakeland show and you can hear Tom Talk about being careful and stuff that's because of the barricade.
