Metal as Fuck, or "Merry Christmas, Dave Mustaine"
I'm sure it's obvious by now that I've been re-sowing my metal roots. I mostly listen to music at work, and I've mostly been listening to metal. More to the point, I've mostly been listening to Megadeth. I don't know why I didn't like them in Junior High (when I was really into metal the first time). I think it probably had something to do with my loyalty to Metallica. I'm very embarrassed about that loyalty now, because I despise Lars and James so much (Kirk I'm fine with). My shame is somewhat assuaged however, since in 1994 they weren't nearly the despicable assholes they are now, and it was more acceptable to like them. Please bear in mind this was years before all that "Give me Fuel/Give me Fire" bullshit.
Now I'm proud to be a Megadeth fan (a "MEGAFAN" if you will), and in the spirit of that, here's a track of the classic "Countdown to Extinction" album, Architecture of Aggression.
Buy me this Megadeth xmas ornament. Seriously, though, buy me this hoodie.
