Today on the Alex Jones show Dave Mustaine from Megadeth was interviewed at length. Now growing up in 80's and 90's as a metal head, I was a huge Megadeth fan, from the time I saw the video for Peace Sells, But Who's Buying. where the kid is watching the video on the TV and the father comes in and says "I WANNA WATCH THE NEWS" and changes the channel, and the kid turns it back and says "THIS IS THE NEWS" and switched it back just as the great solo kicked in.
There was a time in the 90's where metal just died. Bands were not really singing about real issues. Like in the punk and birth of hardcore era. It was more or less about making frn's {federal reserve notes}. There was a handful of songs from Metallica that peppered in some truth, Eye Of The Beholder on ..And Justice For All, Don't Tread On Me off the self titled Metallica. Then there was The Judas Kiss on Death Magnetic. Here's the one line I'm talking about a 911 truth reference: Followed you from dawn of time
Whispered thoughts into your mind
Watched your towers hit the ground
Lured the children never found
Helped your kings abuse their crown.
This new Megadeth record floored me when I listened to it for the first time last week. Lyrics about fema camps, rfid chips, and financial collapse WOW. Now its also a great record musically as well , sort of a mix between Rust And Peace and United Abominations. In my opinion this really trully is one the best metal records to hit the shelves in YEARS.
Here is the video for Peace Sells, But Who's Buying
