Megadeth-99 Ways To Die (Lyrics)

A Lyrics For The Song - 99 Ways To Die! :D

[@XuliusCaesar]

I went to a jr high school.where there were only maybe half a dozen metalheads. We were all more or less marginalised because we werent into "what was popular". I remember a teacher telling my friend and I that he knew.what we were going through. He rolled up his sleeve to reveal a very crude homemade tattoo that was a cross with "BLACK SABBATH" written accross it. "Imagine sporting that in 1971 when everyone was either still a hippie or into funk music" he said to us. He was the real shit. He understood.

[@Aristotlesshadow]

That’s so cool

[@deadmanrunning6670]

Yeah, same thing for me and the gang at college cranking Black Sabbath in the dorm room and the "cool kids" looked as us sideways; it musta been our long hair!

[@singledijjiti.q.2294]

We had a high school chem teacher who let us out of class to see Iggy Pop ☢🧠💥 found out he was a drummer 😮

[@Curly_Toes]

Those acoustic licks are perfection

[@j.t.thomas1859]

For sure!!

[@drums5050]

Marty's a genius dude, same way mustaine is!!

[@bitbreather]

Im just glad to be alive at the same time that Mustain was.

[@thanasisgiannoulis446]

But he is still alive

[@jeffreyrizzo785]

He's still alive and still kicking ass!!!

[@exoticchronicles5240]

*Mustaine*

[@dexunen]

Same

[@coryconner7777]

Hell Yes!

[@AliceInPantera]

“The gun in my mouth was real and the taste blew my mind” and “In a black tie and straight jacket...Man I’m gonna try again” are some of my favorite lines in any metal song. Mustaine sure as shit was never short on great lyrics 🤘

[@timcollum5015]

Nope. The man needs to accept that he has a huge fanbase and fuck Metallica.

[@SamaelVR]

"The gun in my mouth was real and the taste blew my mind."

[@mokke9]

these lyrics are so harsh lmao

[@YHLGguitargeek]

+SkeBatroni Dave's a fucking poet, man.

[@SamaelVR]

AtomicAnomaly Literally what I said when I described this to someone.

[@YHLGguitargeek]

+SkeBatroni Dave's a fucking poet, man.

[@mitchellbrown8124]

that shit always blew me away as a kid

[@yigitcakirmusic]

That transition with acoustic guitar kills me with its beauty...I think it's one of 99 ways to die

[@johnfortuna4190]

This needs way more thumbs up!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@irondino247]

I still think Dave has the best lyric writing in metal.

[@Danfrombackhome]

Daymon Rondino i agree. He doesnt just do gimmicky crap like slayer and cheesy crap like metallica. Anthrax is still jamming too tho. Of course. They are the two best of the big four

[@sc687]

Warrel Dane hands down is the best lyric writer in metal.

[@hellscion7]

Mikael Stanne

[@ethanfletcher5252]

Danfrombackhome agreed i saw megadeth in 2016 and in march im seein anthrax so excited

[@theali8oras274]

I certainly disagree. Slayer is more poetic while being satanic as fuck something i fucking love , anthrax s got more punky themed lyrics and id definitely mark em better , metallica s got better themes , i would give it a tie with overkill due to overkill's being too general. Im tired of Dave's shit. Themes about life and personal experiences could possibly have a place in metal but not that much as they have in Megadeth.

[@vdeemilo5845]

He is still alive. He wrote this song after his second overdose he was pronunced clinically dead. Taunting rigamortis... He would overcome another overdose and death before getting completely clean.. He's been my idol since 1983 when I first saw Metallica in Dallas. He's a genius writer , composer, and is fluent in several languages including French and Spanish He's also a Souless Ginger ; ) And has an extreme ability to play cords most guitarists can't accomplish.. #DroogiesRule 🖤 We have tickets for April of 2021 live show in Denver Co

[@singledijjiti.q.2294]

Soulless ginger 😂.

[@TheCrowbar474]

Why cant my headphones go any louder?!

[@Mazaroth]

Charles Mansen My ears are not bleeding enough yet, even though i've put about +30 desibel boost n shit

[@MosoKaiser]

+TheCrowbar474 Time to go amp shopping!

Because your wife is sleeping.

[@drums5050]

Xactlyyyyyyy dude

[@michelannvendettijr5705]

what's Ur utube subscription pages background image ?!

[@Amarnamusick]

i didnt know its the solo until i read it

[@commanderjeans5675]

The !!! Solo. Not to be confused with The !!!!! Solo.

[@SuperStrik9]

This was the first Megadeth song I ever heard when I bought the Beavis & Butthead Experience cd back when it came out. Seems like just yesterday but it was 20+ years ago lol. Damn I'm getting old lol.

[@dwaynecalloway2134]

I aint have the c.d. i had the b&b experience cassette

[@GlenTropile]

Got that CD still. My first Megadeth song was turning on the tv the next morning after Beavis and Butthead, to see the vid for Peace Sells. Same for my first Iron Maiden song, Two Minutes To Midnight.

[@GamingHistorySource]

You're getting old ? I shit my pants last night & didn't realize it till I caught a wiff ! LMAO !!! 😅

[@nel0]

End of 2017 and I can’t stop listening to this song since the 90s...

[@irage32]

2017 is so 2017 ago

[@mrt-bear3934]

@@irage32 HA, I'm here commenting from 2019 screw you!

[@richardokonsky3319]

I love megadeth

[@anasaljanadi8298]

same

[@Combat9259]

"There is only death and danger in the sockets of my eyes" man I love the vocal melodies of they part.

[@corymetcalf6776]

I'm mad as a hatter and strung out just the same. Love it!!!

[@11DNA11]

This is just a genius of a song lyrically.

[@aaronkristofer18]

"The Gun in my mouth is real, and the taste blew my mind." Oh lord....

[@aaronkristofer18]

Made my day... And true. I'm 13 years of age, and it feels good to have my OWN taste in music, other than agreeing with other people that Pop and Hip Hop is ACTUALLY considered music, which it isnt. its just a bunch of people TALKING and then a bunch of other people editing it.

[@aaronkristofer18]

Link me!

[@aaronkristofer18]

I mean, send me a link for the Nirvana song

[@razeluc2782]

aaronkristofer18 you just gotta listen to real rap. not that radio trash. i listen to all kinds of music and rap is my second favourite genre

[@kayliemoore6956]

Hahaha. 'the Jesus'

[@simohayha137]

This one was kept me groovin for the last ten years. hell yeah

[@cracker135]

One of my absolute favorite songs to play. Such a siiiiiick riff... Thanks Dave

[@ZZfranchise]

This never would have been made if Dave was still in Metallica. When one door closes, another one opens.

[@mxstunkxwn7390]

"There's a prison in my mind and the bars are gonna break. I'm as mad as a hatter and strung out just the same"

[@xEXTREMExNATCHOSx]

Dave's vocals are the mctits!

[@Chadstrife22]

This really is primo dave

[@Thatpokeydude]

Thorazine is something they give for schizophrenia I think, yes?

[@Megadeth1983Fan]

Correct! :D

[@leoMC4384]

It's a sedative and tranquilizer. It's used for outbursts in different psychological disorders.

[@johnnyghoul8100]

Also used in treatment for psychedelic drug overdose

[@nolivesmatter3729]

That’s the shot they give you when you freak out in a mental hospital. It used to be called the “booty juice” when I was a teenager but the last time they gave it to me they stuck it right in my knee. I slept for days both times and woke up an indifferent zombie each time

[@TheMcardarelli]

This song´s lyrics!!! So metaforical, so BADASS!!!! what a great periood they were going through in the 90´s!!!!!

[@bigtommy9715]

Sucks how underrated this is it’s easily top 10 all time

[@valdez380]

This is the song that got me started on Megadeth back in 1995. I couldn't get enough of this song. Guess you can say I was addicted to chaos. I seen them live about 7 or 8 times and they haven't played this song at any of them. They were all awesome shows even though they didn't play this hidden treasure.

[@lindsayj7907]

My favorite live band.

[@Denmark_1974]

"The gun in my mouth was real, and the taste blew my mind" - Dave Mustaine at his best:)

[@jdamagedgoods]

The single best guitarist in metal history and a large discography to prove it.

[@k1ngsmok378]

jdamagedgoods Dave's always been my number 1 guitar player

[@GODHATESADOPTION]

He taught james and countless others, invented thrash

[@nickp3949]

Definitely has to be a top 5 Megadeth song. The riffs, the verses, the chorus, the passion with which Mustaine sings...so much badass shit going on, fucking epic.

[@rustyshackelford4613]

One of the best Megadeth songs...

[@Eliskoopa]

easily my favorite Megadeth song

[@priedthirdeye]

Dave Mustaine, lyrical genius and guitar virtuoso.

[@MVSICAPROHÆRET]

This song is straight up, the purest expression of heavy metal, if there ever was one!

[@doritoking556]

"artist beavis and butt-head"

[@joerobertson7047]

I heard this song on the Beavis and Butthead experience album waaaaay back.

[@donaldclouse1028]

me too dude 1995 I was 4 my stepfather had the CD 😂

[@hlalakar4156]

0:53 "gotta sword between the yiffers" You can't unhear it now.

[@siberianXmustang]

"This one goes to eleven"

[@yzetta]

Some of the most clever lyrics I have ever heard. Thanks for posting them.

[@MrParkerman6]

I'm as mad as a Hatter and I'm strung out just the same!

[@stevesullivan8963]

We're not ready to see WHO yet? Is he referring to The Almighty? Loved this album back in the day. Hidden Treasures had some real gems.

[@NestorCacchiarelli]

not say who, just say U in despective note, by the way, that´s is mineaninless in the context of the song

[@CrabJock]

I've always thought the line was quoting what you would hear in a hospital or something. We can't see you yet, so you have to wait. I think it implies not being able to get help, so you "help" yourself the only way you know how. There's 99 ways to die, pick one. That's my perspective.

[@blakematthew3369]

there not ready to see there parents gun watch the official video to find out

[@dm-wp1dz]

See Joseph Cotes post below. It's about not being ready to meet your maker yet. Or, he's giving the devil the middle finger and saying he's not ready to go to hell yet until he chooses from the 99 ways to die or one of them gets him when he's fighting for life.

[@MrBiggysmalls87]

THE GUN IN MY MOUTH WAS REAL AND THE TASTE BLEW MY MIND!

[@justinheape7198]

Met Dave at a gas station years ago I was the cashier he bought a 6 pack and I carded him to make sure it was him He signed the receipt and I kept it still have it to this day in my safe in a baseball card protector lol

[@metalhd4life]

"Suicide is a chicken shit way out of life. Life is tough, but just hang in there. Things will turn around." - Dave Mustaine (Headbangers Ball 1992).

Gordon Hatherley that’s also a cool song 😁🤘🏿

[@bestboy897]

man marty's acoustic sections are damn melodic

[@TheIkilledu]

"The gun in my mouth was real and the taste blew my mind" is the best line in the song!!

[@MrBiggysmalls87]

The Eminem of the thrash metal world. The Tom Petty of the thrash community. Lyrically the master of the game. Is it a game? Check mate son. Check mate.

[@als3984]

Dave's the man! Been a fan since 1993 at the tender innocent age of 8. I thank my big brother 🥰🥰🤘🤘

[@Replika2000]

I love the combination they've (read Dave) made using riffs perfect for working out and kicking depressions ass, yet the lyrics are about a person who wants to end it all... Genious!

[@MADEINAMERICADUDE]

You got this Dave!

[@antagonisstic]

I was 15 years old when i 1st heard this song on the Beavis and Butthead experience . I am 38 now and still a Metal head, Megadeth one of my top 3 favorite Metal bands.

[@tsd731]

I'm 53 and listen to them daily!! Rock on man

[@Mitsyrules]

I love it when his vocals border on black metal like in this song

[@rodswanging5255]

Metallica WHO? Megadeth is what your wanting to hear.

[@attacheli9591]

*K*

[@DeathScepter]

@Gunsandrosalina Padtwothen you are a genuine metalhead. for both are good metal bands.

[@davep2942]

Metallica who? Never heard of her! 😜

[@EricJaegerMusic]

For every hour I’ve spent listening to Metallica, there are 100 hours spent listening to Megadeth

[@als3984]

Fuck Metallica, bunch of overrated stuck up thieves!

[@U-cross]

This song dragged me into the world of MEGADETH when I was 15..

[@coryroberts7519]

hahaha me too... I first heard it on that Beavis and Butthead soundtrack way back in the day. Good Times!

[@U-cross]

@@coryroberts7519 I heard this on the same too in 1993.. good times!! Hope you to have good days too!

That last chorus at 3:16, is awesome itself. But when those drums kick in at, 3:39. Flawless.

[@pulp735]

Awesome song. One of Megadeth's best 90s songs IMO.

[@CrownOfNails]

Amazing

[@ine_96]

I love this song ♥

[@josephcote2535]

Just like all music..... The writer is expressing something but what you hear or feel when you listen to it is exactly what it means, that is the beauty behind music..... For me this song represents not being ready to meet your maker yet, through suicide

[@marslynnaugustin4648]

Woow luv it

[@jschro446]

Hardly anyone ever mentions this song, but this is one of the heaviest and best Megadeth songs ever! Wish it would have been on an actual album. I'm not a huge fan of the "official" music video though.

[@Beirstube]

+Slowmotionlight the video is set up like it is to make the song seem upbeat despite it not being upbeat and the lyrics would keep it from getting play. so it was an excellent ploy to get the song played.

[@shawnmarshall3911]

Joshua Schroth this song is on hidden treasures if your looking for an album with it

[@liabatud67]

This is one of the best albums of my lifetime.

[@steeveewuzzheer1992]
