Classic song by a great metal band.
About the album (from wikipedia): Countdown to Extinction is the fifth studio album by Megadeth, released in 1992.
According to the liner notes of the 2004 remastered version, Dave Mustaine considers this to be Megadeth's best work.
From youtube poster: This is Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth...duh! It's a great video and song and it's now in WIDESCREEN!!! :D Plus the sound quality was terrible so I put the remastered version of the song over it and now it sounds REALLY REALLY good! This is the REAL version of the Symphony of Destruction video! The other ones are only parts or are the stupid remixes of the song...which suck by the way. Here it is, great song, great video, great band! Enjoy everyone! :D

I always thought this video ripped off some of the imagery of this video:

bizinichi"You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll...
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...
Of Destruction"
Can you say *politics ...
arrendekThey are both on Epic Records, so there might have been a common producer or director or something?
