Megadeth is the band that defines Trash Metal at it's most intense and intelligent, a unique combination of brains and brawn.


And this is a visual blitz that confirms it's reputation for innovation. Rusted Pieces
 is a collection of six Megatdeth
 video clips sure to shred your idea of what music video can be. I bought it in Munich, at World Of Music
 store (I spent about 150DM there!
). It's a standard VHS cassette with Hi-Fi Stereo sound and Dolby-B NR. Cover illustration is, as allways, done by Edward J. Repka in a well known Megadeth style.

Approximate duration of the video is 45 minutes and the tracks are:
Peace Sells


Title track of Peace Sells... But Who's Bying?
, their second album. Their first video clip (and a very good one). Song has that great bass-line used in MTV-News jingle.

Wake Up Dead


Second single from Peace sells... But who's bying?
 album. Video is filmed in an airport hangar, with the band inside a wire cage! Awesome! Song itself is like an instrumental, althought there is some lyrics.

In My Darkest Hour


From the third, So Far, So Good... So What!
 album. Controversial song about suicide. It has a very deep and moving lyrics. Try to get them on paper somewhere!

Anarchy In The UK


Also from So Far, So Good... So What!
 album. Megadeth's version of a famous Sex Pistols
 song, done in a much more powerfull way. Video is really well fitted with a song (Anarchy!). Pay attention to what you're seeing!

Holy Wars... The Punishment Due


A war song from the latest album, Rust In Peace
. Video includes some really bloody and disturbing scenes (Why is that so familiar?
) from the Middle East. Maybe that's why it's so rarely seen on TV. Band shots are done in a power plant near LA. This is a real head-banging song!

Hangar 18


Also from the latest Rust In Peace
 album. This is a very elaborate and expensive video (That means, great) with some neat creatures, done in a real film studio. Song is about the hiding and torturing of aliens by US goverment in an secret base.

Before each of the songs members of the group talk about making of clips and song itself. Some of the clips were banned, like In My Darkest Hour
 which is banned from MTV 'cos it deals with suicide (in positive way, but censors on MTV didn't realize it, fools!!!
), so this is the only way to see it. Peace Sells
 was also banned in the UK. Every clip is a real masterpiece and if ya didn't see it, too bad for you! So run to a local video rental store and get it!

And to conclude, as it says on the cover: Now you can experience all the muscular guitar riffs, jackhammer beats, and high-voltage intensity of Megadeth's live shows. Anytime. Anywhere. At any volume. You have finnaly arrived at 'Deth's door...  Open. And enjoy!
