Talk:Rust in Peace

"Holy Wars"

In all actuality the song begins with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and then briefly shifts to the Northern Ireland conflict before transferring to the Punisher story. --BlueGlowGuardian 03:07, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

"Holy Wars" was written about the N. Ireland conflict, not Israel

The link at the bottom of the page, where there's a demonstration of how to play the holy wars riff, who ever put it there has some issues. the guy playing the riff is making some serious mistakes in the opening riff, and in the subsequent main riff that follows. either put in another, more appropriate demonstration, or take it off entirely.

I agree. The demonstration of 'Holy Wars' is just totally wrong, it's like the guy has never even heard the song!!! Also, the lyrics to 'Holy Wars' mention Israel: 'Don't look now to Israel, it might be your homeland'.

• • Ok, I removed this link. It was an eyesore (more like an Earsore) and horridly wrong. LyTe 09:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Have you people ever even seen the music video for Holy Wars?? It is so clearly in the desert you would have to be on drugs to think its anywhere else. It is definatly about the Palestinian conflict with Israel, and nothing else. I am inclined to say that interview is just low-grade crap that is probably made up with a real Mustaine interview mixed in. Although, really anything is possible, cause why would someone try to glorify the IRA. The IRA are well.......this shouldn't be the page to discuss it on. -8/09 RATTMAN28

• have you even listened to the song? it does nothing of the sort! and the video has shots from the desert, yes. but also of dave skydiving. and news reels from around the world. and the band playing in a hangar without any shirts on. stop reading too much into things like Video clips. Dave mustaine was in Northern Ireland to preform with megadeth, and heard people are bootlegging megadeth T-Shirts for "the Cause". here's an excerpt from the interview (the song he preformed was Anarchy, btw):

Q: DO YOU EVER REGRET SAYING THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T? LIKE THAT TIME IN NORTHERN IRELAND YOU DEDICATED A SONG TO THE IRA?

Dave:"You know what? I don't regret that at all! Someone else told me what was going on and I was just repeating what I'd been told. All I knew was the way the guy explained it to me. I was backstage drinking Guinness - and remember I'm used to American beer - I've had a few of them and they're bootlegging T-shirts outside so I say, 'You've gotta stop that!'. The guy goes, 'Oh, that's for The Cause'. So I say, 'What's The Cause?'. This is how simply he explained it: he said The Cause is about prejudiced religion. The Catholics and the Protestants are fighting and one religion thinks it's better than the other religion. And I went, 'Well that's fucking stupid!'. By then we'd had some pot and vodka and probably a little blow and I went up onstage and when we played 'Anarchy [In The UK]' I said, This one's for The Cause!'. I woke up the next day in Dublin and no-one would talk to me! People were like, 'Don't you know what you did last night? We were taken out of town in a bulletproof bus!'. I had remorse for the fighting among the kids at the show, but I don't regret what I said."

Vocals for Rust In Peace/Polaris

I picked up the remaster of Rust in Peace a few days ago, and I am seriously wondering if the vocals for "Rust In Peace...Polaris" are the original vocals or not. I knew beforehand about the issues with the other songs that Dave had to re-work, but when I listen to the remastered RIP/P, there are nuances to the enunciations and pacing that I don't remember hearing in the original release. Did Dave have to do some tinkering with this song as well as the others, or did the re-master do such a good job of cleaning up his vocal track that it makes it sound brand new?

• I think I read somewhere that dave mentioned that when he came to the studio to remaster "rip", he found out that all the vocal tracks and some of the guitar tracks are gone, so he had to redo them all over again. hence the changes in pace and intonations. LyTe 20:51, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

yeah

yeah i read somewhere in an interview that holy wars is about n ireland, the less obvious choice sort of. but anyway classic song

also if you want really detailed info about the making of this album , the remastered version from 2004 has tons of info. he says the name "rust in peace" came from a bumper sticker that he saw that said "may all your nuclear weapons rust in peace"

my other thing is, this sounds weird but maybe there could be like a list of 10 totally essential thrash metal cds. that would be a cool wiki page.
