Dave Mustang is the genius behind the Band it's his))) ,,, a long time ago he was first in Metallica after the first recording small album the drummer (Lars) kicked him out of the Band, Dave Mustang formed Megadeth,,,, not you know friend))))))

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

I served in DESERT STORM and this song was our Anthem, it came out wayyy before DESERT STORM happened though

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

It's NOT MINDLESS, HEADBANGING NOISE, it's very intricate, and we'll thought/ written lyrics, DAVE is a G.O.A.T.

[@louofm1]

This song is from one of the greatest metal albums ever released. Its hard to believe it came out more than 30 years ago. The lyrics in this song were relevant then, and even more relevant now. Singer/guitarist Dave Mustaine was one of the guitarists early on with Metallica, before they had a falling out. You will have to check out the song Hanger 18, from the same album. It has an insane number of guitar solos. Also, love the outfit!

The background of this song was a funny story in Ireland as I was growing up. Megadeth were playing a gig in Antrim and a guy was caught selling bootleg t-shirts outside the venue but was allowed to continue as it was raising money for "the cause" which is basically code for the fundraising for the IRA. Not really knowing what the cause meant (allegedly), Dave Mustaine told the crowd "this ones for the cause" and the band played Anarchy in the UK. The crowd was a mix of catholic and protestant people so the song ended with a full blown riot with the band having to leave Northern Ireland and get to Ireland in a bullet proof bus with a police escort the entire way. The song was written shortly after about it.

[@seansersmylie]

A couple of mates of mine were at that gig🤣

[@ConanObrien22]

Before Dave said those words first he cited a lyric from Paul McCartney ‘Give Ireland back to the Irish’ followed by ‘This song is for The Cause' and the crowd separated into two groups and the brawl happened.

[@mattsabath]

Almost anything off of Peace Sells or Rust In Peace is a can’t miss. You may like In My Darkest Hour. The live version from Hammersmith in 1992 is incredible. One last thing, make sure you have the lyrics handy. Megadeth songs are deep lyrically and incredibly complex to play musically. I still don’t know how he sings and plays crazy riffs and solos at the same time. He’s probably the only one in the world that can do it. G.O.A.T 🐐

[@popeyedog1087]

Almost? Peace sells is just good.

[@dedfishermen985]

I don’t know, Countdown to Extinction is with them too, I can’t skip a song on it

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

This is an ESSENTIAL Metal CLASSIC, and it was very relevant to what was going on in the world 🌎, when it was released

This is in my opinion the apex line up for Megadeth. For over 10 years, this line up steamrolled the world.

[@BlackieNuff]

[@ViVaLaRan]

Who are these ppl? The dude that got kicked out of Metallica and made his own band out of revenge and is now part of the big 4 that's who :)

[@MAGA4EVA1986]

Yeah personally as someone who’s nearly 40 years old and has been listening to Metal for 30+ years I have admit, “The Big 4” needs to be redone. I have said and I will continue to say until my dying breath that it SHOULD BE: Metallica Slayer Megadeth and…. EXODUS!!! Anthrax HAS NO BUSINESS BEING APART OF “THE BIG 4”!!! NOT SORRY EITHER….Anthrax as NEVER METAL AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED. I’d also add Testament as a BONUS/5th MEMBER!!

[@asdfqwer1234zxcv]

The first part of the song is commentary on "holy wars", the second part of the song is about the comic book character Frank Castle also known as The Punisher

[@renejensen7799]

This is a legendary metal song, with iconic riffs, you know those song you get played if you ask to hear iconic riffs, this is one. Also a heavy topic, that i think is well lyrical written, in a agressive way, but also in a ask for peace, as what is going on is bad in this topic. So yeah its a song in metal history hall of fame you could say..

[@TheDretch]

In an interview with the UK magazine Guitarist, Dave Mustaine said that he was inspired to write the song in Northern Ireland, when he discovered bootlegged Megadeth T-shirts were on sale and was dissuaded from taking action to have them removed on the basis that they were part of fundraising activities for "The Cause"

[@drjag1155]

This song is fantastic ! Part of the best album of all times 🙏🤘

[@stecumo6459]

saw these do it live in birmingham the clash of the titans 1990,it was their best line up and live it's an absolute facemelter

[@SteveCoronado2]

My favorite of the Big 4 (Metallica,Megadeth, Anthrax & Slayer) this song is a 2 part story. First “Holy Wars” is about the issues that have plagued the Middle East for years. Second “The Punishment Due” is about a comic book character aptly named The Punisher who was an ex military special ops soldier who had his “wife and baby” k*lord and he sought revenge. Yes this band has a ton of great songs with tremendous lyrical content. 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻

[@empsmith]

As someone mentioned in another comment the first part of the song is about an incident involving the band when they were playing in Northern Ireland and ended up getting caught up the whole Catholic/Protestant bullshit

[@moimeme8827]

here another one: "black sabbath" with "war pigs": a master piece ! But... did you see some "Dio"? a great 80's metal band. "holy diver" or "last in line" or "rainbow in the dark" are great.

[@stevebertram2184]

Iam 55 and when Megadeth came out with--so far so good so what my friend loaned me the album to listen to it i was hooked on it,,been thrash metal ever since,,nice outfit but the nose ring you should take off

[@owencorfield6163]

Once you start going down the megadeth rabbit hole you won’t turn back.. I’ve been a fan 30+ years.. saw them for the 10th time recently…. listen to the whole album “Rust In Peace” from 1990… it will blow your mind 🤘

[@Blindmouse_]

I'm turned back from that hole.. When Friedman is gone from the band. :)

[@whiteknight5100]

Megadeth STILL kicks ass even today although yeah their earlier stuff is pure metal gold.

[@supertick69]

This song is 34 years old and is still relevant today

[@kirbymjk71]

Great reaction, my first time finding your page so I'm a noob lol. Punishment Due is actually about the Marvel character The Punisher which I didn't find out about till recently. Looking forward to more content

[@Megadeth1921]

As a Megadeth fan from the beginning way back in the 80s, most of their songs have strong meanings. Most good metal music has meaning there’s topics to the songs. They’re not poppy and lovey-dovey like everything you hear on the radio, they’re not all about some of the things that the rappers talk about, metal actually talks about relevant issues. Not all but most good metal music. Probably the most misunderstood genre of music ever simply because the way we look . Great reaction to my all-time favorite metal band 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

The singer who is also playing guitar is called Dave Mustaine and used to be the guitarist in a certain another thrash metal band at the time called Metallica until he was kicked out for his behaviour while intoxicated on alcohol. Dave then started the band Megadeth as rivals to Metallica. Dave is an awesome singer & guitarist and never gets the credit he deserves.

[@sumonjamal1653]

For the uninitiated: Dave Mustaine was the original lead guitarist in Metallica (1982/ '83) and he co-wrote the band's first (and part of their 2nd) album... He was fired in 1983 and replaced by lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, who recorded all his leads and parts on Metallica's debut album "Kill 'em all"... Dave Mustaine was a hardcore drug-user and he was volatile at times, and being fired from Metallica prompted him to form Megadeth because he wanted 'revenge' on his former band... Megadeth's debut album 'Killing is my business...' was released in 1985. Mustaine is the primary songwriter and lyricist of Megadeth... 'Holy wars' came in 1990 on Megadeth's 4th album 'Rust in Peace'... Although Megadeth did not reach Metallica's level of commercial success, they were one of the most successful metal bands of the 90's... David Ellefson (bass) was the only consistent Megadeth member from 1983 to 2002... this album featured (the late) Nick Menza on drums and Marty Friedman on guitar. One of the major differences between Megadeth and Metallica was the twin-lead attack of Megadeth and their unpredictable delivery... Also, Mustaine also wrote a lot of meaningful lyrics from politics to personal and social commentary & cynicism... It was quite an achievement that Mustaine was able to carve out a reputation for himself outside of Metallica's shadow. Other Megadeth classics - 'Peace sells' ... 'Hangar 18' ... 'Symphony of destruction' ... 'A tout le monde' ... 'In my darkest hour'... 'Wake up dead'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@metalmenteloco]

Hey Inna Megadeth is one of the bands with the best lyrics of all their tenas have a topic and many of them is war, I recommend you listen to "peace sell... But Who buying"

[@jessicahartness8063]

"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it."

[@brownwestmoreland1077]

The singer is Dave Mustaine and he usually writes most of the lyrics for the Megadeth songs. If you like this song, you should check out "symphony of destruction" by Megadeth as well!

[@da9pauly]

Symphony of Destruction live in Argentina is crazy the crowd singing the song with the band insane crowd interaction with the music

[@mattrubish320]

Marty, Dave M and Dave E all wore bullet belts back in the 80’s/early 90s (this is thrash metal attire 101) you can even see James Hetfield from Metallica wearing them in his early career . Dave Mustaine was also in Metallica from 81’-83’. He was fired for his reckless behavior while on tour with them. In turn he formed Megadeth. Thank god that happened or else we wouldn’t have this masterpiece to appreciate.

[@scotthatcher5043]

This album in periocular will out live it's time At least with me!!! All Megadeth songs have meaning, deep meanings if you know where to look!!

Hey Inna, glad you liked this classic song. Could you please react to the band Death? Either the song "Pull the Plug" or "Left to Die". Death is a band that helped birth and shape a new metal genre (death metal) after thrash metal (Metallica, Megadeth). The band leader was a great musician and composer, I think you might find them interesting and different..

[@BlackieNuff]

Frontman Dave Mustaine, formerly the guitarist for Metallica, was fired from Metallica for his drug problems, just prior to the release of Metallica's first album (Kill`Em All, 1983). If that never happened, we would probably not have had Megadeth, which appeared on the scene with their debut album in 1985 (Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good). They eventually became one quarter of what came to be known as the "Big Four" in thrash metal., comprised of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax.

The belt made out of bullets is a thrash metal thing from the 80s, and is not necessarily about this song, but you got a point there, it is objective and makes sense with the song. I’ve been listening to this album since it came out, it’s the best thrash metal album for me, ever. Marty Friedman (lead guitar) is the best guitar player for me.
