Countdown to Extinction Favourite Song

[Riff Raff]

The Megadeth diehards who say they sold out with anything from this album up to Cryptic Writings actually need to learn what sell out really means or be prepared to have their opinions never be taken seriously. So many 'purists' think just because something isn't to their liking they can just call anyone a sell out. lol
Sweating Bullets I loved the vocals because it fit the theme of it and the breakdowns between riffs, talks about schizophrenia.

I agree, and I'm not saying they sold out, but I have seen, read, and heard people say that song was a total sellout.

I know you weren't saying they did. I myself am a Megadeth diehard I guess you could say and I find such a notion absurd to call a band just from it not being a Rust in Peace. Probably because of the radio air time it gets. Now the Risk album was a different ball game, Dave didn't want to do it according to his book but just went along with it because Lars douchebag Ulrich told him to and Marty Friedman had a big part in it. I liked Risk but clearly even Dave didn't, fans have called him a sellout plenty for that album.

Symphony of Destruction

 

[OzzyVanHalen]

Its a tie for me between Symphony of Destruction and Sweating Bullets.

I'll go with Sweating Bullets for today

 

[Powerage]

Skin o My Teeth was my eventual winner, but Sweating Bullets, Architecture of Aggression and High Speed Dirt were close!

 

[opera races]

Might seem lame but it's Symphony of Destruction. That was the one that got my attention.

It's also one heck of a fun song at the live shows

Gotta go with ashes in your mouth here. I love Freidman's an Mustaine's dueling solos in that song.
