Megadeth - Nick Menza - Rust In Peace Polaris - Isolated Drums

“Rust in Peace... Polaris“, addresses the topic of nuclear warfare, with “Polaris“ referring to the Cold War-era Lockheed UGM-27 Polaris intercontinental ballistic missile. Dave Mustaine has revealed that the song, originally titled “Child Saint“, was one of his earlier compositions, having been written before his tenure with Metallica (1982–83). Nick Menza proposed the concept for “Hangar 18“, a song about UFO conspiracies and Area 51. Musically, the song features twin guitar solos after the verse.
