influence, thus deducting that the song is about Israel is more than childish. I happen to be an israeli, and I've read countless articles about this song, all pertaining to the
Northern Ireland dispute, all denouncing that Israel has anything to do with the song, other than what mustaine wrote: "Don't look now to Israel, It might be your homeland". granted, Dave's lyric writing can be fairly complex at times, but this is as simple as it goes. this song can be reflected through so many conflicts, and yet the man himself said, in his words, what this song was orignally written about. using creative liscence on other peoples Ideas, no matter how "middle-eastern" the video looks (and actually, it also has some images from cambodia, korea, soldiers training et al), is really grating. this paragraph needs some editing, IMO.

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 ' 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."
137:
some Irish kid if anything trying to glorify the IRA's now defunct cause. Enough is enough, just forget about that stupid link and the bs spanish article from a really really piss poor source. and also, they were if anything, just putting war violence in the video to help exhibit the theme of the video. and when is the band in an airplane hangar? I really doubt u have seen the video more than once like ten years ago. they are jumping out of the plane on that headbangers ball megadeth special. and the solo more than anything sounds close to a mid east influence, marty would know how to pull that off easy. but to say its childish? wtf r u on? you would have to be an idiot to think this video isnt about the Arab
Israeli conflict.
181:
read the lyrics, and then if you can that is, give me a decent argument as to how this song has anything to do with that. dont give me some bullshit about how it needs to be included. i mean if thats ur argument, we might as well say that it is also arguable that the holocaust never happened, and of course it isnt. so stop reverting this, your dead wrong, and it is completely unarguable, ur just acting like some raging asshole by doing this and messing with average joe smith that comes across that and reads it. i refuse to let every joe smith think that northern ireland is part of that song, mustaine never wrote anything about it, so forget this already.
372:
virtuosity on rip thats lacking in peace sells. If you take a look around at reviewers like allmusic and so on rip is usually named as one of the finest thrash metal albums, and most metal sites rank it that way too. i am not going to revert the article as it previously was as i do not want to start an edit war, however the majority of critical opinion will place rip along with reign in blood and master of puppets together. been an awfully long reply, so anyone who wants to continue the discussion is welcome.(RIP)
228:
Israeli-Palestinian conflict takes place in places other than the desert, so your point of the video showing people in the desert obviously making it Israel is MOOT. if you knew half a thing about israel, you'd know that most if not all palestinians DONT LIVE IN THE DESERT! hell, Gaza is maybe near Egypt, but last time I checked, it's pretty green there. oh, one other thing, learn how to sign your effing username. at least stand behind your posts.
92:
Where did you even find that thing anyway?? And dude, with lyrics in the song about israel and the desert and everything...just stop trying to fool everyone into thinking this glorification about northern ireland's IRA is from Dave
Mustaine. And some other fundamental points about it having nothing to do with the IRA.
371:
Hey, i am the one who wrote that line bout rust in peace being along with master of puppets and reign of blood. what i said was that it was one of the most critically lauded thrash metal releases, while peace sells was a great album, most reviewers place rust in peace on top mainly due to the musical
140:
I bet who ever stuck that fake article in here is enjoying a good laugh watching you defending it, cause anyone with half a brain and with any prior knowledge to
Megadeth will know that it was without any doubt is about the Arab Israeli Conflict. The consencous is that your wrong and that most of the
119:
However though, this interview seems to make huge contradictions to the music video. The music video for Holy Wars clearly shows conflict in the desert. Also the people in it seem to appear to be much more middle eastern in appearence, and nothing like anyone from
Northern Ireland or from the British
91:
yea i read that crap on that link, and its probably crap. I mean the thing is supposed to be translated from spanish (it says so on the bottom of it), and its about northern ireland, i mean come on its probably just BS. I think it should just be deleted altogether, the supposed contradictions i mean.
246:
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
110:
Ok so theres the lyrics. Hmm, Killing for
Religion? A, if i recall correctly, the IRA is trying to unite Ireland, regardless of being Protestant or Catholic. So how the hell could it possibly make sense to be about the IRA?? Well I think im just going to delete that section, its obviously BS, and if
652:
I don't know that its legacy is distinct from the album as a whole, certainly not on the same level as "Holy Wars..." or "Hangar 18". And while I do like the song, "it rocks" is not a suitable reason to create a page on the song. If you have reliable sources to cite for such an article, then we can
166:
I think that considering that many people disagree, it's fair to leave a note in parentheses saying that one could interpret it as being about
Northern Ireland. I don't think it is, and if we leave it that way, the article doesn't say so either, but simply mentions that some people see it that way.
180:
dude its quite obvious that that interview is garbage, and if you would ever bother to get off ur ass and watch the music video or read the lyrics you can tell that the goddamn IRA has absolutly nothing to do with the song. like seriously, before you go revert my edit again, go watch the video and
77:
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
610:
Shouldn't the genre 'progressive metal' be added to the genres of this album? This album has one of the most progressive musical arrangements in megadeth's discography and is pretty typical for a thrash metal album with guitar solos featured on and off and dense musical passages. Some of the most
136:
Dude, just forget about that stupid article, its obviously CRAP as mentioned above, and it really just doesn't belong as a source on wikipedia. and don't give me that bs about u being israeli, don't try to get people to think your one just to benefit your argument, that's weak dude. Your probably
123:
when people start making their own thesis for what the video means, it turns around to bite them. infact, if you watch the video, it also features the band in an airplane hangar, so the song must also refer to people who work in hangars, right? besides, saying that the solo carries middle-eastern
72:
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
344:
This paragraph needs to have 'Rust in Peace' replaced by 'Peace Sells' and be moved to that article. ;) I know of no one (other than the author) who would mention Rust in Peace in the same breath as Master of
Puppets and Reign in Blood. Rust is mostly excellent, but it doesn't exist on the same

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
361:
The album does represent Megadeth at their peak from this Metallica/Megadeth fan's point of view. For me Metallica didn't peak at Puppets anyway, they peaked at Justice. Both RIP and Justice are each band's respective show-off albums, unparalelled in complexity and skill (and therefore, in my
223:
You know, I came back to read this argument and realized something. you obviously know everything to know about megadeth, so an article quoting Dave Mustaine is Probably CRAP! Ok. any other bright deductions congugating the C.R.A.P. Verb, or would you like to contribute somthing a little more
43:
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
227:
I Agree with Saintamh about having the disputed point in the article put out so people can have their own opinions voiced here. after all, Wiki is not about what YOU think is right, or I think is right, when it comes to intangible song meanings like this one. oh, just for kicks, the
348:
And even if one argued Rust was somehow better in intrinsic quality, it's like saying "Along with the Me109 and Spitfire, the F-16 is one of the most critically lauded fighter planes." One of these things is not like the others and 'P-51' is obviously what goes there.
611:
notable songs would be, holy wars, hangar 18, five magics and a few others. There are some references to this too. AllMusic called it megadeth's strongest musical effort. I believe that this album should be labelled as progressive metal along with thrash metal.
257:
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.
271:
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"
247:
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?
224:
condusive and back your argument with somthing other than "oh yeah, I read that article and it's obviously crap, since I don't believe it, so it's crap. you don't think the same way I do, so what you're thinking is crap!". sigh.
73:
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
341:"Along with Metallica's Master of Puppets and Slayer's Reign in Blood, Rust in Peace is one of the most critically lauded thrash metal albums. Many Megadeth fans consider it to represent the high-point in the band's career."
53:
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'.
208:

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):

Is this song really about prisoners of war, as stated here? I thought it was about US Army Veterans being more or less abandonded by the government when they came back from the war. --

Why don't someone write a page about the third song Take No Prisoners. It's one of those songs that must have their own page because of it's great legacy. And beside it rocks.--

Actually, yes there is, just listen to the final riff of the song, when it ends (also sometime during the middle of the song).
