Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?
In December 1985, Dave Mustaine said that the band was making music for a second album. He also said that two songs ("Black Friday" and "Bad Omen") were done. Mustaine said that these songs were much faster than the music from Megadeth's first album, Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!. Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson wanted to change how people thought about heavy metal by making music with political lyrics.
