Dave has always been known as a pretty “on the nose” sort of lyricist, with very little subtlety in that department, but it’s worked for him in the past, as his gravelly voice lends itself to aggressive and cartoony lyrics of paranoia and esoteric life problems that has permeated Megadeth tracks from the band’s inception, which is why very few people have ever faulted him for the writing on an album like Peace Sells. And sadly enough, even the worst of the worst lyrics on this album really are not the most despicable aspect of this album.
While those lyrics are pretty atrocious, they are by no means the worst to come out of Super Collider, the new LP from thrash veterans, Megadeth.
Three years later, Dave Mustaine penned the lyrics for the title track from Super Collider, the band’s fourteenth studio release: “This could be all the heaven you see/Life can be wicked, mean and cold/Could this be the end of your living terror/Come with me and I’ll train your soul good.” Goddammit Dave. This sort of sentiment showed a kinder side to Mustaine, one that cared for his fans, and his legacy, as if he wanted to preserve and honor what he and his various band mates over the years had worked towards. To celebrate this moment, the band decided to tour North America, playing every single track from the album, some of which had never been performed on a live stage before.
celebrated the 20th anniversary of their seminal work, Rust in Peace.
