(I’m supposed to be working right now so shhhh, you didn’t see me!) Thank you guys for doing this!!!! That suggestion was made half-jokingly (if you recall, “Shan5 if you say Holy Wars one more time...” 😆) But I also feel like it’s one of those classic metal songs that you guys should know.

Megadeth has switched out drummers and guitarists throughout the years and in my opinion, this album, with Nick Menza and Marty Friedman was magical. There was something about these four making music together that hasn’t been repeated. You could react to every song on this album and each one will blow your mind in different way. I really suggest you do the each song from Rust In Peace at some point. Definitely their best album and still in my top 10 albums of all time to this day! Happy New Year to both of you!

Peace Sells and The Conjuring give some earlier flavor; Tornado of Souls is off the same album as this song and Hangar 18.

I think the Trojan Horse was only meant to hold a small undercover unit so that they could be in there for a while and then open the doors of Troy for the rest of the army to sneak in ... or at least that how I remember it haha. And yes, Holy Wars is one of the most influential songs in metal. Megadeth has lots of great songs (and lots of not so great ones, like any other band), so I'd recommend other songs like Ashes In Your Mouth, Good Mourning/Black Friday, In My Darkest Hour, and Last Rites/Loved To Deth.

[@carolowler]

The initial inspiration for this song was about the religious conflict here in Northern Ireland. I was at their gig in Antrim in 88, Mustaine, after a few Guinness, unwittingly started a riot between both sides of the religious divide. The band had to be escorted, in a bullet proof bus, to Dublin for the next gig. Hence the seeds were planted for 'Holy Wars ' Talk about heel heat. He afterwards realised the error, apologised, and, eventually the band returned, all forgiven. It was a crazy time over here back in the dark days.
