"'From 1988 to 1996 Greene worked at EMI music publishing as chief engineer where he did all the pre-production for Megadeth's "Countdown to Extinction" album, released in 1992. Band leader Dave Mustaine considered the album later being Megadeth's best work ever.

In 1994 he worked with Brett Gurewitz owner of Epitaph Records and founding member of the punkrock band Bad Religion on a demo recording for Bad Religion. Brett Gurewitz hooked Ryan Greene up with the punkrock band NOFX and he produced their upcoming record "Punk in Drublic" the same year. The record sold more than a half million worldwide and was certified gold although the band rarely gives any interviews and strictly refuses their music and videos to be played on major radio stations and on television. "Punk in Drublic" is also considered to be the best NOFX album ever among many of their fans. It's also their best selling record, having gone gold in the United States.
