Fucking hell, he's sold a lot of records. I bought one of them, but that was;

a: on tape
b: second hand
c: not in America.

so it doesn't count. Still, 'Peace Sells...' makes me unintentionally break the speed limit almost as much as 'Turbo'!

that's an interesting list to say the least.
i would have thought Rude Awakening would have sold more. Megadave had certainly had his highs and lows but overall he's done very well. I personally have given him lots of my hard earned money. I had all the origianl cdss + all the newly remastered ones, and lots of cool cd singles, not to mention a lot of vinyls from Back In The Day.

I'm hoping Megadeth is around for many more years
