Bonus Metal Track in honor of Nick Menza:
This is the closing and title track off of Megadeth's 1990 Rust In Peace album. It directly follows the previously posted, Dawn Patrol. It is impossible for me to hear the end of Dawn Patrol and not have Nick Menza's sweet drum intro from this song in my head. The way the drum line flows with the guitar in this track is fantastic.
The lyrics are from the point of view of a nuclear warhead named Polaris; a reference to the 1960a nuclear submarine named Polaris.
"I spread disease like a dog
Discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Launch the Polaris, the end doesn't scare us
When will this cease
The warheads will all rust in peace"
Once again, Rust In Peace Nick!
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!
