IF THERE IS A
NEW WAY
OH, I'LL BE THE FIRST IN LINE
BUT IT BETTER WORK THIS TIME
Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?
is the second
studio album by
American
thrash metal band
released on
September 23, 1986,
through Capitol Records.
The project was
originally handled
by Combat Records
before Capitol Records
purchased the rights
to the album
and hired
another producer
Paul Lani
to handle
the final mix.
The recording of the album
was difficult for the band
because of the ongoing
drug issues
the members
had at the time.
Drummer
Gar Samuelson
and guitarist
Chris Poland
were fired shortly
after the album's
promotional tour
for drug abuse,
making
Peace Sells
Samuelson's last
Megadeth album.
Poland would reappear
as a session musician
on Megadeth's
2004 album
The System Has Failed.
The title track,
noted for its
politically conscious lyrics,
was released as the album's
second single
and was the band's
first music video.
The album's cover art,
featuring the band's mascot
Vic Rattlehead
in front of a desolated
United Nations Headquarters,
was created by
Ed Repka.
Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?
is often regarded as a
thrash metal classic
and as an album
that gave prominence
to extreme metal.
It has been featured in
several publications'
best album lists,
including
Robert Dimery's
1001 Albums You Must Hear
Before You Die
and Martin Popoff's
Top 500
Heavy Metal Albums
of All Time.
