Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Rust in Peace

Awesome song. Powerful lyrics. Solid beat, great change of tempo mid song. This is megadeth at there best.

Its megadeths best song
Mustaines solo is totally amazing
The intro is also really good

Megadeth brings a solid line of excellent songs in their albums but this is one of the definitive highlights.
Great song with constant change of tempo and great lyrics as well makes this easily top 10 megadeth song.

This song is a all-time great and one of the hardest songs to play.

8. Peace sells but who's buying
9. Devils island
10. Wake up dead

I love rust in peace. Its a great album. I would also rate Peace sells at Great too. But Nothing is as good as rust in peace the solos for the songs I have listed are just pure epicness. Enough said

My all time favorite Megadeth song. The lyrics are great, the guitar work is AMAZING. The transition from Holy Wars, into The Punishment Due, with the acoustic solo was a great idea. The guitar solo's are epic, as well as the riff they play right before Mustaine's solo.

YES. This is the best song out of the lot and was the first ever megadeth song I heard and I think its awesome. However I think that some of the other songs like good mourning black friday and a lot of the peace sells album should be on top. Because we all know that peace sells album is the best album.

Probably the best thrash metal song ever, especially when you consider the technical guitar playing both ryhtem and lead. Awesome lyrics and tempo changes also.

Megadeth is the ONLY band that can do this song perfectly, every single time. No other band would be able to do even the intro. This song I defiantly think this is their best song without question.

An excellent example of what a peaking genre is all about! Megadeth pulled out all the stops on Rust in Peace and this track is a masterpiece that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. In a word - Epic!

best song for ever MEGADETH. Is the best melodie. I love them. Holy wars is nr 1 but I like more peace sells and synphony of destruction. For me nr is peace sells but who buys, and nr 2 sinphony of destruction

It's the # 1 song Megadeth song and for good reason. It's an all around great thrasher that gets you pumped up and set to listen to the rest of one of the best heavy metal albums of all time as well!

Greatest Megadeth song ever! It has a fast pace and it just builds you up. I listen to it when I need to get pumped up for certain sports. You can't go wrong picking this great song as number 1

Reaping off Metallica... Megadeth are the best and the will always be... Thousand times better than Metallica.. Each and every singe songs are filling our satisfactions... AlwaysM/

this song has got the toughest guitar riffs more than any metallica song... so I think dave did the right thing to quit metallica and form megadeth...

Which other song than "Holy Wars"?!
Powerful intro, very serious songemeaning, great vocals and especially the solo is grest - the best Megadeth guitar solo!
Best Megadeth song!

This song ruins my school for listening it for too long. It has the richest solo and vocal, from both Dave and Marty. It also has exceptional lyrics for Holy Wars and The Punishment Due.

this song is the best thrash metal song I have ever heard!
the starting, the vocals, the solo everything is perfect
i can listen to this any number of times
wonderful soong!

This whole album is classic starting off with this great song. Intro, mid song tempo change solo all great. Rust is up there with one of the greatest metal albums in my opinion

Probably the biggest masterpiece in the history of the metal
great lyrics... Awesome solo..
marty and dave at there best.
powerful lyrics and amazing drums by menza

A thrash metal masterpiece! Guitar riffs more increadible than anything else I've heard. This combined with Mustaine's intense vocals makes it Megadeth's best song!

One of Hardest to play, Hardest to perform, Bestest metal ever...

I'll be needing 4 heads for doing head-banging for thins song.

Metal at its best, Mustaine solo is breathtaking...
Listening to this song for the past two years and still remains one my all time favourite... Megadeth you RoCk

My life's best song ever! And it's so hard to cover! But I will try my best to cover holy wars... It's my dream to cover the full song!

Every time I hear the slow riff in the middle part of the song, I get the shivers. so good mustaine really hit this one on the head
