Harmonix and MTV Games added Megadeth’s influential breakout album Peace Sells...But Who’s Buying to the Rock Band catalog of downloadable content on September 16, 2008, for the Xbox 360 and September 18, 2008, for Playstation 3.
The title track to the album is included on the Rock Band 2 disc but the other seven songs were unavailable (until last week, that is). The price for the full album is $10.99 (880 Microsoft Points) or you can get individual tracks for $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) each.
With the addition of Peace Sells...But Who’s Buying, there are more than 300 tracks currently available through disc and download purchase.
Megadeth was formed shortly after Metallica’s first album Kill ‘Em All was released. With some of the songs on Kill ‘Em All written by ex-Metallica lead guitarist Dave Mustaine and used without his consent, Mustaine formed Megadeth as retribution.
Their first album, Killing is My Business...And Business is Good, made some pretty big waves critically. It was Peace Sells...But Who’s Buying, however, that thrust Mustaine and the rest of Megadeth into the limelight. Megadeth has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and still manages to keep their audience’s attention with ripping guitar styling and vocal styling. Peace Sells...But Who’s Buying sold more than one million copies nationally.
Megadeth’s remaining in the forefront of metal is partially due to Dave Mustaine’s life experiences, which in some cases is the inspiration that fuels the songs he writes. These experiences include having an abusive alcoholic father, getting kicked out Metallica, going through rehab 13 times for heroin addiction and in one case literally dying from a drug overdose.
