Mustaine satisfied that one project? Noooooooo. The remaster, also, boasts new cover art which is considerably better than the original, indie cover and more worthy on inclusion in the Megadeth canon.īut, was Mr. (At least when Queen did it on Live Killers, it was only once and it wasn't in the middle of the damn song.) The three bonus tracks are demos from the album and that's exactly what they sound like.
He shouldn't have bothered to include the track at all as the bleeps are both annoying and distracting. Since Mustaine was threatened with legal action for some of the new lyrics being offensive, Mustaine included the track with bleeps in every place where there is an "offensive" word. The only exception is the addition of "These Boots", which was essentially a cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" with alternate lyrics. It now sounds as menacing as was intended. The sound is much fuller and more realized. In 2002, the new version was released on the Loud label and the results are positively stunning. The album had a notoriously low-budget mix and needed a complete facelift. Despite Remaster Hell's stated position, Killing Is My Business really needed a new remix.
It all started when Mustaine went in to remix Megadeth's first album, Killing Is My Business.And Business Is Good. He remixed all of the albums up to and including 1999's Risk. While it is true that some of Megadeth's early albums could have used a fresh remaster with better EQing, Dave Mustaine made a different decision. In one sense, it was completely unnecessary. This is what makes the 2004 Megadeth remasters so maddening. Such remixes are welcome so long as they are used as bonus material and the original mixes are left intact. However - the RiP picture disc is the Mustaine mix so just an FYI.Remaster Hell generally opposes the remixing of albums for the purpose of replacing the originals. It's definitely remastered but all that questionable vocal stuff that happened on the remix are absent on the Capitol Vaults reissue. However - the kicker in all this is that one would assume that 'Rust in Peace' would also be the Mustaine remix. I believe 'Peace Sells' and 'So Far' Mustaine mixes are an improvement so that's all good imo. The picture discs ARE the Mustaine mixes. The missing picture disc was 'Rust' so I found that too just to be complete. So I also bought a lot of picture discs (UMe) that included 'Countdown' and 'Youthanasia' but also had 'Peace Sells' and 'So Far.".

And plus the hype stickers say 'Faithfully Restored' - so why not? I have also been after 'Countdown' and 'Youthanasia' but the only way to get them on vinyl is on picture disc (without taking out loans).
I grabbed them all the while forgetting about the Mustaine remixes. I recently saw the Megadeth reissues from Capitol 'Vaults' for 'Peace Sells', 'So Far.' and 'Rust in Peace'. It's just my new thing now for about a year. Fast forward to now - which is that I don't listen to anything unless it's on vinyl. They were boomier in the bottom end but that's all I could recall. However - I recall none of the other remixes stood out as problematic. For me - it ruined Rust in Piece the way I was accustomed to hearing it. There were re-recorded vocals and then alternate takes used for some things. That said - when Mustaine remixed the entire catalog I was very put off by Rust in Piece. I have all the original Megadeth digitally and from way back in days of tapes I remember Megadeth always sounding a certain way. Thought I'd share something I found around recent Megadeth vinyl.
