==Background and production==
In 1988, Megadeth appeared at the [[Monsters of Rock]] festival at [[Donington Park]] in the UK, alongside [[Iron Maiden]], [[Kiss (band)|Kiss]], [[Helloween]], [[Guns N' Roses]], and [[David Lee Roth]]. The band performed to an audience of more than 100,000 people<ref>{{cite book|title=The International Who's Who in Popular Music|year=2002|publisher=[[Psychology Press]]|isbn=1-85743-161-8|page=368}}</ref> and was soon added to the "Monsters of Rock" European tour, but dropped out after the first show due to bassist [[David Ellefson]]'s drug problems.<ref>{{cite web|first=Robert|last=Gray|title=David Ellefson On Recording New Megadeth Album: 'That's The Plan'|url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/hit_the_lights/david_ellefson_on_recording_new_megadeth_album_thats_the_plan.html|work=[[Ultimate-Guitar.com]]|date=February 20, 2010|access-date=January 1, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100223210701/http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/hit_the_lights/david_ellefson_on_recording_new_megadeth_album_thats_the_plan.html|archive-date=February 23, 2010}}</ref> Further issues within the band caused frontman and guitarist [[Dave Mustaine]] to fire drummer [[Chuck Behler]] and guitarist [[Jeff Young]], and cancel their scheduled 1988 Australian tour.{{sfn|Larkin|1995|p=1654}} Nick Menza, previously Behler's drum tech, was hired as the band's new drummer.<ref name=RIP2004/> The search for a new guitarist was a drawn out process; Mustaine examined a number of guitarists for the job, including [[Dimebag Darrell]] of [[Pantera]], who was initially offered the job before declining, as he requested that his Pantera brother, drummer [[Vinnie Paul]], also be hired.<ref name="King">{{cite web|title=Dave Mustaine: Kerry King Hates My Guts|url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/dave_mustaine_kerry_king_hates_my_guts.html|work=[[Ultimate-Guitar.com]]|publisher=[[Guitar World]] magazine|date=August 16, 2013|access-date=January 11, 2024}}</ref> [[Jeff Waters]] of [[Annihilator (band)|Annihilator]] was also considered.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bravewords.com/news/annihilators-jeff-waters-how-i-nearly-got-the-gigs-in-metallica-and-megadeth|title=ANNIHILATOR's Jeff Waters - How I Nearly Got The Gigs In METALLICA And MEGADETH!|work=[[Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles]]|date=September 8, 2013|accessdate=January 11, 2024}}</ref> Mustaine had asked original Megadeth guitarist [[Chris Poland]] to rejoin the band,<ref name="Poland">{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/former-megadeth-guitarist-chris-poland-is-working-on-liar-memoir/|title=Former Megadeth Guitarist Chris Poland Is Working On 'Liar' Memoir|work=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=December 21, 2019|accessdate=January 11, 2024}}</ref> with Poland tracking lead guitar parts on demo versions of all the songs that ended up on the studio album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?start=1109&v=j7TN_3S2RcU&feature=youtu.be|title=Chris Poland on almost rejoining Megadeth in 89, the end of his friendship w.

The album title ''Rust in Peace'' was inspired by a bumper sticker that Mustaine saw on the back of a vehicle while driving home from [[Lake Elsinore, California]]. The sticker read: "May all your nuclear weapons rust in peace". Mustaine liked the concept and decided to use it as a title for Megadeth's upcoming album.{{sfn|Mustaine|2011|p=230}} ''Rust in Peace'' was recorded at [[Rumbo Recorders]] with producer [[Mike Clink]], while the mixing was handled by [[Max Norman]].<ref name=RIP1990/> Clink was brought in for his work on both [[Guns N' Roses]]' ''[[Appetite for Destruction]]'' and [[UFO (band)|UFO]]'s ''[[Strangers in the Night (UFO album)|Strangers in the Night]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://peavey.com/monitor/sub2.cfm?id=14|title=Megadeth's David Ellefson: Return To The Hangar|work=Monitor|publisher=Peavey Electronics|access-date=May 25, 2014}}</ref> The producer's work dealt mostly with the bass, drums and Friedman's guitar.<ref>{{cite book|title=My Life with Deth: Discovering Meaning in a Life of Rock & Roll|page=89|author1=Ellefson, Dave |author2=McIver, Joel |publisher=Simon & Schuster|year=2013|isbn=978-1451699890}}</ref> In a 2002 interview, Mustaine declared that they "really didn't make the record with [Clink]" as at the time he was focused on Guns N' Roses' ''[[Use Your Illusion I]]'' and ''[[Use Your Illusion II|II]]'' – which were also being recorded at Rumbo – and stated most of the work in the album was done by himself, Norman, and engineer Micajah Ryan.<ref name="Rust"/>

The opening song, "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" finds its thematic inspiration derived from the [[The Troubles|Northern Ireland conflict]], in which the largely Catholic [[Irish nationalism|nationalist]] community were in conflict with the mainly Protestant [[Ulster loyalism|loyalist community]] over the sovereignty of the six counties of Northern Ireland. Mustaine has said that at a show in Antrim, Northern Ireland, he discovered [[Counterfeit|bootlegged]] Megadeth T-shirts were on sale. He was dissuaded from taking action to have them removed on the basis that they were part of fund raising activities for [[Provisional Irish Republican Army|"The Cause"]],<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Holy Wars...The Punishment Due |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/song-stories/holy-wars-the-punishment-due-megadeth |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |access-date=December 6, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140309221717/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/song-stories/holy-wars-the-punishment-due-megadeth |archive-date=March 9, 2014 }}</ref> explained as something to bring equality to Catholics and Protestants in the region. Liking how "The Cause" sounded as was explained to him, Mustaine dedicated a performance of "[[Anarchy in the U.K.]]" to it, causing the audience to riot.{{sfn|Kajzer|2010|pages=317-318}} The band were escorted in a bulletproof bus back to their hotel in Dublin after the show.<ref name="Rust">{{cite web|first=Richard|last=Bienstock|title=Megadeth: Rust Never Sleeps|url=http://www.guitarworld.com/megadeth_rust_never_sleeps?page=0,2|page=3|work=[[Guitar World]]|date=September 17, 2010|access-date=November 22, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202225634/http://www.guitarworld.com/megadeth_rust_never_sleeps?page=0,2 |archive-date=December 2, 2013}}</ref><ref name=Bulletproof>{{cite web|title=Megadeth Mainman Reacts To "The Cause" In Ireland|url=http://www.bravewords.com/news/35297|work=[[Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles]]|date=November 12, 2005|access-date=December 19, 2013}}</ref> This incident, along with Marvel's Punisher, inspired Mustaine to write the song.<ref name=Punisher/>

"Rust in Peace...

In 2017, more than 25 years after the album was released, Dave Mustaine revealed the majority of "Holy Wars" tabs on the web did not transcribe the main riff correctly, and posted the correct transcription himself.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/dave_mustaine_holy_wars_tabs_are_wrong_heres_how_to_do_it_right.html|title=Dave Mustaine: 'Holy Wars' Tabs Are Wrong, Here's How to Do It Right|website=www.ultimate-guitar.com}}</ref>
