MY FIVE

Megadeth

A tough choice to make. “You take a mortal man, and put him in control. Watch him become a god, watch people’s heads a’roll.” With its strong political content, it’s remarkable that a song written in the early nineties is fully valid even today. Trust for its vulnerability and honesty, Dawn Patrol and Holy Wars for its solos, and this one for its energy! I can almost see Dave Mustaine snarl into the mike; the video is rather raw in its portrayal of a president’s ascent to power and his assassination in the end. They say that listening to heavy metal gives a greater high than smoking cigarettes — they must’ve been referring to Megadeth.
