Scott's Bonus Metal Track of the Day - Rust In Peace...Polaris by Megaedth

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!
