Peace Sells... and the Destruction of the World | Megadeth Interview 1986

Two brief interview clips with Megadeth for MTV in 1986 following the release of 'Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?'. David Ellefson describes the album as extreme, but notes that it combines elements of speed, slow parts, and melody [00:00:12]. Dave Mustaine explains the title's meaning, asserting it is a criticism of reality: peace cannot be bought despite world leaders' attempts, and that war is always imminent, only taking "one drunk punk" to unleash it [00:00:41].
