Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Peace Sells by Megadeth

Today's Metal Track is Peace Sells by Megadeth. This is the title track off of their 1986 album Peace Sells... but Who's Buying. The iconic bass line at the beginning of the song has been used as the theme song for MTV News' The Week in Rock segment since 1990. I'm not sure if they still run the segment or not though.

This song has been used in numerous video games throughout the years and remains a staple in their live shows. The skull that you see explode in the video is the actual skull used as the album cover on their previous album Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! Apparently Dave had a thing for ellipses when naming his albums.
