    My opinion of the meaning is this: everyone wants peace, but no one is taking the steps to achieve it.
    Basically the whole song is one side accusing the other of all these things, while the other side is saying it's not true, which is causing conflict. And there is no compromise so no one is buying.

  • @BaldotheDon

    Paused at 6:26 'cause...
    The whole time in this song, Dave's talking to someone that is antagonistic, if not actively hostile, towards him, and he's throwing this person's prejudice, platitudes, propaganda, and hypocrisy _right_ back in their face.
    I think 'Peace sells, but who's buying?' is a rhetorical device saying everybody talks that good shit in public about wanting to get along and looking forward to a quiet future, but out of the public's view, they never let an opportunity pass to harrass, insult, and obstruct other people just trying to live their lives. They push your buttons, they step on your toes, _they fuck with you all the time,_ and when you've finally had enough and confront them, they make like _you're_ the asshole.
    Modern american culture, where _everyone's_ fine with nice things happening, as long as it doesn't cost _them_ anything, but they'll gladly throw _all_ the resources at awful things on the agenda, as long as those awful things are happening to specific people.
    In other words:
    "Everybody* should be nice to each other!"
    _*else (not me)_

      I agree with your synopsis. I've always felt like another interpretation of this song is "us vs them". Back in the 80's, if a person liked heavy metal, they were looked down upon by society as degenerates and scum. So I think the back and forth questions are accusations and a person replying "You say these things about me, but they aren't true".

    My favorite Megadeth song and album. 🤘This song in particular is very punk in spirit. The phrase “Peace sells” is rhetorical meaning that people do want peace and it would sell if it were actually marketed to them.

    When this album came out I was instantly hooked, this being my favorite. It's a progressive metal epic, from start to finish. The lyrics are about how yes, peace 'sells' to the masses, but meanwhile the politicians keep the war industry in business with kickbacks, lobbying, etc., so in the end...who's really 'buying' peace? I'm betting it can be interpreted in many ways, as good art can be. This song, and their "High Speed Dirt" are my 2 favs. Thanks!

    Rolling Stone Magazine: Frontman Dave Mustaine recalled the writing of this song to Rolling Stone: "I WAS HOMELESS at the time, and I was living in a rehearsal place in Vernon, California. I was seeing a girl, Diana - there were a lot of songs I wrote about her. I actually wrote the lyrics to that song on the wall, in that building. I didn't have any paper in the studio, but I had a Sharpie, so I just wrote on the wall. Whoever inherited our rehearsal room after I moved out, saw the original lyrics to 'Peace Sells' on the wall. They probably painted right over it and didn't even know it." Mustaine also penned the opening bassline, which became famous for being used as the theme for MTV News. He told Rolling Stone that he never received any royalties for their usage of it. Said Mustaine: "They didn't give me a penny. They cut it off right before they'd have to pay me, which was very clever. I don't think anybody with a conscience at MTV did that - it was probably somebody in their legal department." RollingStone

    There are two things I really enjoy about these reaction videos: The first is seeing people light up hearing these songs for the first time. I've listened to this song for over 30 years and it's neat to see other people disovering it. The second is the marvelling at the musicianship and creativity. of these songs. New listeners can't believe the writing and how people play instruments to make those sounds. A lot of the members of these bands were in the their early/ mid 20's when they wrote these songs. Dave Mustaine was probably 24 at the oldest when he wrote and recorded this.

    I'm stoked you checked this song out finally. This is the song that sold me on Megadeth YEARS ago. The band name came from a pamphlet by California senator Alan Cranston that Mustaine found on the floor of a bus after being fired from Metallica. It read: "The arsenal of megadeath can't be rid no matter what the peace treaties come to." Dave always felt pushed aside and not wanted in life dealing with a bad family life. I always felt this song was about his disdain for the negativity that surrounded his life and the judgement people had on him.

    I've been listening to this song for 35 years and to me it's always seemed the message is that it starts off with that those of us who live in the Western world at least are slaves to the system. We work hard and pay our taxes but we get little in return. Then it asks the question about warmongering. War makes money, big money for weapons manufacturers. Peace makes little money.

    Megadeth not your typical metal band peace sells but no one is willing to give up anything for it

    funny to see lots of people discovering Megadeth while I've almost lived my complete life with Megadeth as soundtrack :D

    The video to this song cuts to a kid watching Megadeth on TV when his dad walks in the room to change the channel and says to his kid, "What r u watching? I want to watch the News!". The kid changes it back to Megadeth and says to his Dad, "This is the News!". Then cuts to Peace Sells but who's Buyin chorus line. Great scene.

    "I like to draw straight lines" was actually a brilliant statement when you think about it.

    The funniest thing about Peace Sells is that Dave Mustaine saw it as a head line in a Readers Digest. That's literally where the idea for the song came from.

    the original version of the song was written on the wall of their rehearsal studio in sharpie because they were dirt poor and had no paper

    having lived through the 80's lol yes i am old.....there was a lot of talk of arms dealers, military trade conventions, illegal arms trades etc. in the media during this time...movies, songs ya name it. also artistic censorship was at it height during the 80's so an artist's character was put under the microscope; so in short, the title actual means what it means peace sells but no one is buying it. second, yeah everyone speculates what would have happen if Dave never left Metallica along with Cliff not getting killed in that bus wreck makes people wonder what would have happened.

    Its not meant to specify one certain idea , but it does lean toward the can man live in peace within the reality of surrendering his weapons . The song also uses focal scenarios to build up the questions of peace and personal sacrifices .

    If you need your mind completely distracted and shocked in an epic sort of way, then you need some THERION in your life!
    "To Mega Therion" -
    "In the Desert of Set"
    And pretty much any one of their 500 songs or so!
