I ve started listening to Megadeth when I was 16 now I m 35 and is crazy to see 13year olds in the comment! Great music will never die and how much the lyrics mean stays true to the day is crazy!
Man I listened to this when I was 12 and still one of the best metal bands in 2022 and still listening to megadeth and pantera at 14 this band will live for ever
I'm 15 years old, when I was a kid I listened to pop music and stuff because of my cousins and friends, but after I got to know metal I found my true passion 🤩 I feel very proud to know this amazing musical genre.
LOL, It was at the right time! We enjoyed it immensely during our time of it's existence! LOL \m/ BUT It is AWESOME that your generation Loves it Just as Much!!! Rock On !!!!😂😂😉
@@Uke96789 this song is always great, becouse it always represent the world perfect. Politicians say something and the masses follow it without thinking
I'm signing the song looking at the lyrics. I'm long time Megadeth fan !!! 👍 I'm 52 yrs old. Megadeth never gets old. Older ppl and younger generation listen to Megadeth and it's amazing!!! One day in the early 2000s I attended Megadeth concert in a convention center in Albuquerque NM I was standing in the front row of probably a crowd of 150 fans I had opportunity to see Dave Mustang up close. Close enough to be spit on lol. His guitarist bent down really low I touch the guitar strings for a second. I remember Megadeths song Crush Em. The speakers were so loud I had to put klinnex in my ears. 😂🤘 I had a blast. Then the Megadeth hosted Megator for upcoming heavy metal groups like Five Finger Death Punch, Avenge Sevenfold, Static-X. Growing up in the 80s was awesome 👍 heavy metal music back then was awesome, so many metal bands came and went... But Megadeth Survived all these years. Megadeth songs are political but it sure makes Alot of sense, like Peace Sells or Holy War.
I'm a casual fan of Megadeath, big fan of the genre and grew up in the 80s. I say that to give context that I'm not some fanboy here, but this song is perfection, it's S tier for sure. It has it all, but most importantly it has incredible lyrics that have meaning that transcend time and always seem to apply to the current time. This is true art and I friggin love it!!!!! I often repeat the opening verse 5 times before I let the song play out that's how important I think it is to always remember that power corrupts. "Take a mortal man and put him in control and watch him become a god, watch people's heads a'roll....". And then that chorus, what else can you say, it sums up humanity's albatross; this innate desire to set up governments and systems of power when we clearly know it ultimately corrupts and breaks down at scale. Anyway imma hop off my soapbox listen to that verse a cpl more times lol. Oh, I do wanna say the last verse I like to interpret as when the world powers fall we will see that peace will rise and stand tall in the form of the individual man and his freedom. See society's construct demand we fear each other and that we need protection from each other in the form of nations and armies, but this just escalates the arms race and repeats cycles of large scale war and peace that most of the population really even have a hand in other than suffer it's consequences. If when the world powers fall the illusion it created that made us fear each other will fall and we see that the default state of the individual when free is peaceful and there is no need to organize in order to protect.

Megadeth is a fucking legendary band. There are very few thrash metal bands who have achieved the height this particular band has. Gotta love the guitar solos and the lyrics!1 \m/ XD
@@CuddlyJon haha, you're preaching to the choir. I've spent a year just getting the first few phrases down. You should learn the Angry Again solo, I actually learned that one pretty good but the Symphony solo is another beast entirely. Keep playing, thanks for the response!
If your dean is under 65, he or she probably grew up listening to metal. To be honest, anyone who was a teenager between the 196os and 199os has probably done stuff in their younger years that would make teens today’s jaw drop.

Nope. There's waaaayyyyyyyyy better songs. Hell, there's better megadeth songs than this one. I like both the songs you mentioned but I assure you, they're not the best out there.
I'm rather fond of Megadeth "My Last Words" tbh, and Sweating Bullets better than this one, while this is a good song it is not Mustaine's best work by far.
Fun fact: I was born on the very date that Countdown to Extinction was released on July 14th 1992 so Symphony of Destruction is my birthday song!! And it turns 30 years old as will I this year!! 🤘🤘
I think this song is about how a narcissistic leader who rises to power, is treated like a god by his supporters, and becomes a megalomaniac, will inevitably lead them to their destruction. It's a story that has happened over and over.
First time ever listening to the song--was told to listen with lyrics because it is fitting to the current state of the USA's politics... They're not wrong
The most relevant song in todays times ....in every country .....every god damn place .......whatever field it may be ......politics ....cinema or sports .....especially in india
dave is a rock God, his voice will bellow in the halls at all those who seek to enter the kingdom of rock heaven, and they will know that Dave can shake the pillars of heaven.

I love this version of the song. Like the guitars sound way better to me at like 0:42-0:52 than the more modern version of this song. It's just a shame it's hard to find this version of the song on most platforms.
In my childhood( till i was about 9 years old) with my dad playing megadeth, metallica, iron maiden on the guitar and listening to it. Than he got his arm injured and stopped playing guitar now(i'm currently 16) i fpund back to them!
If i Had a wish i Would wish that all the 80s metal bands would be young again
Rose Grey my wish would be to actually live the 80's
Rose Grey I agree with you!! Life would be better lol 😀💯🖤🤘
Rose Grey same
you'd need either a genie or Shenron to do that, my friend in metal
So true i miss the 80s and 90s metal but some of them like Flotsam and Jetsam and Megadeth and Exodus are still going
"Title text here" man what a legendary metal lyric lol
LMFAO 😂😂
Hahah
i was searching for this comment lol
It's my favorite of the song
The most iconico line in in metal history
Megadeth, Metallica, and Iron Maiden....we love you \m/
....no slayer?
Mastodon
Kathrin I was thinkin' the same thing.

This album is my favourite one, I love listening it all the time!
It sucks he got kicked outta Metallica.. like for real
metallica and megadeth for the fucking wwiinnnn
yesssssss
Dan Man if mustain wasn't kicked out we would have one less good metal band
Dan Man yeah of course they are
Dave Mustaine for THE WIN ! ! ! ! :)
Neeja Metallica used to be good before they became sell outs and turned into a franchise...
Iron Maiden and Megadeth get me going! People who aren’t into heavy metal should give this a chance.
"its metal brain corrodes"
sick lyrics
This song is more relevant than ever.
I thought he said ‘ metal spring corrodes ‘
3:02 best lyric ever
Man I can't help but say that I'm glad Dave was kicked out of MetallicA. Now we all have two great bands to enjoy! Much respect to Dave.

@@thomaswhite6765 Absolutely! Finally someone gets it.

I love Dave's music so I'm glad Dave stuck around for us !!! Thank you Dave!!!
Metallicocks lmao. Don't diss them like that, metallica is good

its fucking awesome i mean i bet god listens to it before he destroys something
