Megadeth Looking Down The Cross

[JDMC19]

killing is my bussines is for me the best album (behind with peace sells) holy shit the riffs are insane, who the fuck can create that riffs?? who? only Mustaine

[ArsenalHeavyMetal]

Hey were a Heavy Metal Band called Arsenal, we're trying to keep good music strong and alive. Feel free to check us out. We would love feedback.

Listen to our demo on facebook under "Arsenal(band)"

thanks and keep metal alive!

[MarksmanOfDeath]

My mind just went through a mini freak out

[ignaciotomasbustaman]

hijo de putaaaa pa grande el ctm este.......

[feztizieo]

theres no way dave could sing this song today even if he wanted to

[JapaneseSpaceNinja]

4mins - Diadems riff XD

[cillee997]

kill em all wasnt slow, it was the opposite of slow

[grimreaper87]

@cillee997 you mean, fast?

[mucklebones1973]

Plus that T shirt he is wearing is called nuclear.can't get that anymore!! :S

[mucklebones1973]

Best period for megadeth.lol,i was still in school when i bought So far So good ,for me is the best album.

Great times!!

[Cyphilus]

LORD God in Heaven thank you for Megadeth...

[ATY9Productions]

I wish they still played these songs live

[21rockrchik]

great song thanks for posting this n in good quality too

[megadeth1056]

There will be another metallica but there will never be another megadeth.

[MyDickboy]

Is it "Now you wish you had a gun to stop your demolition" or "Now you wish you had a God to stop your demolition"?

[0liverKlozoff]

@MyDickboy "Now you wish you had a God to stop your demolition"

[isaacool102]

its Mustang, you idiot!!!

[CatterpillerStoner]

@isaacool102 its mustaine

[heorlee]

The Best band ever...

[NickT248]

I don't understand, who cares what the person is on or not, listen to the damn music!

[Chunkydude1973]

A fucking cool guy.Saw these at the Rust in Peace tour.Boss band!!

[333Salvador333]

rip daves drugs =(

[TMalltheway]

I fucking love this song,and album

[Thrashsmash97]

Yea, he was doing heroin at this point.

[MrDsgfdgdg]

@Thrashsmash97 heroin ??? no dave take heroin in 1994 or more at this time that was cocain (I) anyway you can't be high on heroin no ?

[IGotTheMunchiesDude]

@MrDsgfdgdg no, he was on heroin at this point. and yes, ofcourse you can

[PlagueBringer12596]

@MrDsgfdgdg dude you most def get high on heroin.. and yes Dave did heroin, watch the documentary.. he and David would make speedballs (were you mix the heroin with cocaine) and he would snort it..

[XxOSTONEBENOTSOxX]

@PlagueBringer12596 I inventend a mix i called High Speed Dirt lol...don't think i can talk about that on here lol ;)

[matosdiogo12]

was he high or drunk in this video?

[curlywoodson]

@matosdiogo12 Both.

[matosdiogo12]

@curlywoodson great! long live Dave

[neckilljo]

in my opinion this was the most "different" song on this album... i think it would fit nicer on "so far, so good"... KIMB songs are too fast and aggressive and this song is way more well worked than the others... this was a proof of what would come in next albums would surprise anyone speaking about megadeth's musicality

[Bodomforever666]

This shit is insane, this right here is why i fucking love Megadeth!

[megandresc]

dave monstraine XD 

[Redrocker6464]

fuking killer !!!!!!!!

[Thanatar2]

kickass song

[HavockdeLimaPeru]

this is a fucking fast version!! xD so cool (drugs)xD

[razzor7]

I'M LOOKING DOWN THE CROSS (SPEAK NO EEEEEVAIL!!!!!) god I shit my pants and start screaming/jumping around every time I spin this godsent album

[J4prsdnt]

Sick song!! Insane!!!

[theHorseheadsohc]

prolly my fav megadeth song, i got this shit on cassette

[kaliaev]

one of my favorite Megadeth songs ! need to have it played again live !!

[shadow72510]

Killing is my business... Til gas prices drop!

[ryankazm]

"killing is my business... and business is good!" and "bonded by blood" 1985 was the birth of real thrash, no slow em all bullshit

[DiogoAlmeida95]

@ryankazm dude, dave wrote half of the kill em all album and i dont think that the songs are slow, but id rather listen megadeth

[ryankazm]

@DiogoAlmeida95 its slow compared to the real thrash movement

[mooninites3]

@ryankazm You stand corrected 1981... Venom's first album (So fucking poorly produced though).

And you shouldn't bash on Metallica, It's like when people call Judas Priest was the first real heavy metal band, calling Black Sabbath's albums before them not heavy enough. Their influence will impacted everyone afterwards.

[momscarface2]

@MacStinglc Actually Venom was the band who created Thrash metal. Metallica was influenced by them, and they perfected it. Without Venom, the thrash metal you know wouldnt be the same

[turboshredder24]

@momscarface2 without Venom no sub genre of metal would be the same

[momscarface2]

@turboshredder24 I would agree...but more like the extreme metal genre types....thrash/death/black...­with out thrash there wouldnt be metalcore...without death there wouldnt be deathcore and so on....

[turboshredder24]

@momscarface2 haha yea thats what i ment to say

[irondeth2]

@MacStinglc so you're saying the best thrash metal band has to be the one with only four good thrash albums with one okay hard rock album and the rest after that the wannabe southern country rock pop ones?

[ThrashTillYouCrash]

@MacStinglc Holt wrote most of that album. GTFO

[eatmyminilice1]

@MacStinglc i agree with the man, but i suggest a better source than wiki :)

[Thrashmaster0100]

@ryankazm Damn your hella hardcore!!!

[Motherfuckerish666]

@ryankazm Bitch please: Sodom "In the Sign of Evil"

[Sparks424]

2 people got thrown out for having to much fun ....

[TheTASTY666]

@its dimetime I have never known anyone who thought Peace Sells was better than Killing. YOu must be a newbie to metal.

[0liverKlozoff]

@TheTASTY666 @TheTASTY666 Killing IMO, but Black Friday, My Last Words, Wake Up Dead... but no accounting for taste.. How about a fuck yeah for the two best metal releases of history with the original lineup :)

[rampage222555]

i think dave shouldve rerecorded his solo for the remaster, that ending solo was just a horrible stain on a great song.

[0liverKlozoff]

@rampage222555 I don't know what's not to like with Dave's solo, it's enough to make Page proud he could play the damn thing :)

[manolox15]

2 people are looking down

my penis

[TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa]

@Gpup4Lifez Yes Jeff Young is on guitar and Chuck Behler is on drum's

[Gpup4Lifez]

Jeff young on guitar?

[funnyboys117]

they should do what Exodus did & re-record their 1st album such great songs that got such crappy production those songs need to be recorded with the quality they deserve

[jojothedemolisher]

@funnyboys117 ummmmm they did do that.......

[funnyboys117]

@jojothedemolisher they gust remastered it ( trying to improve quality) i talkin about a full blown re record of it

[jojothedemolisher]

@funnyboys117 i thought he did, something about loseing the original vocal tracks or something? didnt he do that for a lot of the albums?

[funnyboys117]

@jojothedemolisher na i dont think so cuz i have the original tape and it sounds exactly like the remastered so either they tweeked his voice that much or they are still runnin the originals

[lesuple]

Do you like old Megadeth ?? user krzyh62 share noremastered songs

[DonLduk]

That riff at 3:10 is an atomic-bomb-up-your-ass.

[alexandretallica11]

dave colaboro solo con 3 canciones del kill em all, solo colaboro no mas aunque no se le niega lo buen cantante guitarrista y rock star que es

[cpociucytcrewc]

@MegaLDeth True. He did contribute a lot to Kill em All. But Metallica made plenty of good stuff after they kicked him out. At least until the mid 90s.

[bigbigsound]

dave youngs so gay.

good player tho..when dave lets him :-)

[alexelperron]

@bigbigsound

u mean JEFF young?

or Dave ellefson?

[bigbigsound]

@alexelperron jeff young...my typo but if id have meant junior i would have referred to junior!

[cpociucytcrewc]

@MegaLDeth Ok. I kinda like them both the same. Kill em All came first though.

[DeathStroke32]

dave is thrash kill em all is daves album

[cpociucytcrewc]

@DeathStroke32 Dave only wrote 4 songs from that album. 2 of the album's best songs, Whiplash and Seek and Destroy were written by James and Lars.

[cpociucytcrewc]

@MegaLDeth You sir, are an idiot. Kill em All is pure thrash.

[DiggittyDave]

take iit easy dave :)

[KDiamondheadMF]

Nothing but pure thrash right here DAVE YOU THE MAN!!!

[0intelligence0]

Too bad Chuck couldn't drum like Gar did. Well actually, no one can xD

[VEXATIONBAND]

its really hard to say which megadeth album is the best b/c they all sound different...well then again maybe sum do sound alike but thats how megadeth roll.lol

[AshleyMustaine]

After 1:24.... ALL Hell rises, and fire comes from beneath, and Dave turns into Satan.

[romandtlopez]

peace sells will always be my fav. then rip, than kimb

[antichristian74]

i don't know why he wouldn't play this live now... i don't think it's meant to be offensive, it just seems to be about jesus from his own perspective.

[eroticblack]

and i think dave's as high as the 7th sky here!!!!! GOD the intro makes me bang my head so fuckin hard!!

[obssedwitmabass]

any one else wanna go back to this concert and mosh untill death?!?!

[MrMethadrine]

I think they shoud re-record Killing cause its one of their best albums but underated cause of shitty production..

[kuzurame]

@MrMethadrine dont know if that could happen cause of the whole "These Boots" copyright issue and I dont think since dave became a christian again he would want to play looking down the cross....which sucks cause its my favorite off the album

[VEXATIONBAND]

@kuzurame yeah, it blows.that must be wy he doesnt play good mourning/black friday b/c of that "paint the devil on the wall" line or skull beneath the skin b/c its too evil.its a wonder how they tour w/ slayer.lol

[Peanutblood]

Dave Mustaine is BADASS! Playing and singing like this is pure talent, I really wonder how he can still do that drugged!

[akamires18]

@Peanutblood dude honestly if i smoke something or anything else (not heroin or crack lol ) i play faster and better than sober

[wisesatyr72]

Sweet Jacksons

[chills2102]

If this shit aint metal wtf is...

So now to you, this will come, a putrefying pestilence,

More noxious than, the serpents breath, Malevolently destined...

More corrupt, than the malice of Choronzon.

More diseased, than the winds of the moonlight sun.

Putrefaction you have caused, no need for confession.

Now you wish you had a god, to stop your demolition.

Crushing the bones of the hundred folds, swinging the judgment hammer.

Man woman child, no one is safe the skulls of the dead are the banner!

[megaleafs]

@chills2102 Rap is shit hip hop is shit metallica is shit

[chills2102]

Heaviest lyrics in this tune i think. From the eyes of jesus "Looking down the cross"

-"Though too much to live for I owe enough to die. I ask not for salvation, my death shall mean their lives. Hatred and guilt the altar they've built, high priests of sin. Destiny, fate, the wicked one's gate... beckoning you in. Down the walkways, throught the blood stained town. Looking down the cross, bleeding from the crown. Let to slay, to die beside the thieves; Kill the king, of the world to be!

[Taters153]

This song and Chosen Ones are my two favorite songs from this album. I personally LOVE this album but I can understand why some people hate it.

[RockNever4gets]

@Taters153 i know what u mean man this is one of my favorit megadeth songs but not that many ppl think its great wtf man its fuckin awsome

[itsdimetime69]

@Taters153 it's just so rough cut, not as polished as peace sells. i used to not listen to this album because of that, but now i fucking love it. one of my favorites. most of the time it's people that don't know shit about music that hate this album.

[tandrei2001]

@itsdimetime69 I agree, it is much underrated, but the music itself is very inspired. Riffs are cool, solos are awesome (well balanced between Mustaine and Poland), drumming is also primetime!

[aerovanzeppelstone]

@itsdimetime69 for some reason theres something about that shity quality sound thats so fucking awesome, it just makes it more rough, you know what i mean, it just gives it more of a vintage sound to it

[metallicsonic]

Fucking Awesome :D

Underrated!!!

[eddie7r7]

how the fuck is he able to play hard ass riffs and sing at the same time??? dave is my idol

[leydeplomo]

@eddie7r7 its talent man, I don't mean to start a fanboy war but Mustaine has always been better than his previous band (Metallica) in every aspect.

[megadeath728]

I dont get how acdc s like a like has 40 times as many fans has megadeth but megadeth music is way more complex every thing guitar drums bass lyrics i know im going to get burrned for this but acdc is a lot overated they have only like two good song on each ablum exept for the black abulm.I hate how people say dave has a weird voice fuck acdc singer has a weirder voice then dave and they have way more fans.

[MrMegadeth12345]

@megadeath728 dude dave was inspired by acdc there fuckin bad ass

[vanhalen515084]

when gar and chris did this it sounded so much better,

[DrunknAngel]

I wish Dave could just keep playing songs like this and The Conjuring despite being a Christian now. They're just songs.

[Brutalyeah]

@DrunknAngel

oh you actually said that -.-

god damnit i hate that shit, religions religions... damn :(

[MrBigboymmm]

@DrunknAngel He wrote some of the songs about his life cause he was into witch craft and sacrificing. I think he quit playing them to put all that stuff behind him now that he is a christian. Most of the songs he wrote then were great.

[tempermentel]

@DrunknAngel this song IS religous its about daves interpretation of how "jesus" felt on the cross

[KazekFuturi]

@tempermentel It has religious connotations in the same way saying "Jesus Christ" does. Lets just leave religion in the dark ages where it belongs...

[tempermentel]

@KazekFuturi agreed

[Sparks424]

@DrunknAngel they mean shit to him like idk might be stuff he values you know ? i would love for him to play those songs too cause i agree with you 100% there just songs but when he wrote those he was a different person than he is now . i can see where hes coming from .

[EdwardBlackRoses]

why did dave became a christian this song is awesome

[ZeroElementZero]

@EdwardBlackRoses He changed and became a better human being... watch all his interviews.

[Blackstuff1991]

Sick ass song!!!!!!Fuck Yea!!!!

[DoNOTCLICKPLEASEE]

God fucking damn, i love how he plays that solo here, That has to be one of daves best solos, and one of his best songs.

[bonefrost]

good song shitty lineup

[megadeath728]

It make me sick hohw evey kid at school likes metallica or aleast nows songs of there when i ask about megadeth ether they dont know who they are or they heard the song name peace sells and dont even really now the song just sad.The reason i realized megadeth is so great because i started learning guitar and was god damn marty friedman can play so then i got addicted.

[megaluisdeth]

@megadeath728 I know how you feel. Whe I listened to Hangar 18 for the first time there was no going back to metallica. Marty is a guitar genius.

[mikem376]

Yep same here.

]v[egadet]-[ is instrumentally more talented but not vocally

[Mastercheff007]

@megadeath728 same here, fact of the matter is that tallica became tooo pop. I a probably the only one that listens to Megadeth in my school as every time I am hearing masterpieces such as this fellas give me the weird looks, however I keep headbanging xD.

[CrazyBucketheadFan]

@megadeath728 fuck man over here ppl know there shit!!

[II6bulletII]

ReasonableRam.yup.

[bersercs5]

Great lyrics and great song, to bad they used it so soon their first album, it would be greater if they put this song in rust in peace or something with better quality but anyway...this song still kick ass just like megadeth since they started

[Romans10Thirteen]

2:21 - "Down the walkways

Through the blood stained town,

Looking down the cross

Bleeding from the crown"!!!!!!!

[andreioverpower]

Jeff Young & Dave Mustaine together on stage! That will never happen again...haha

[SpicyDragoon]

Marty Friedman was better to be honest.

[zzzhuh]

@SpicyDragoon Ya but chris takes the cake

[randomhero1994]

the only think that makes it more complex is that the songs are longer and they have marty's exotic solos. thats it, that doesnt make them any easier than any song off of kimb

[SEbGk]

Jeff Young rulz!!

[bergAgreb]

damn he sounds gay at the beginning, but then it was great, love megadeth

[turns2gold]

@Skyuss666 its not as complex i agree with that , but i like it the best . rip is my second favorite .

[turns2gold]

i never understood why killing is never prasied like peace sells is . cause really i think killing is the best megadeth album .

[Mike9042]

I totally agree.

[JackassPogo]

Yeah it is really forgotten. Just crazy guitar playing. I still can't play any fucking song from kimb.

[NotoriousYeshi]

@turns2gold IT HAS TO DO WITH BAD PRODUCTION, AND THE FACT THAT THA BAND WAS EITHER HIGH, OR DRUNK WHILE RECORDING ALL THE TIME...BUT THAT ALBUM IS GREAT AND HAS SHIT JUST AS COMPLEX AS ANY OTHER POWER...THE SPEED OF ALL THE SONGS ON THA ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE

[turns2gold]

i love the bad production though , i think thrash bands from the early 80s sounded better like that . Im not even a huge fan of the remix version , I still have the original mix on cd and vinyl .

[NotoriousYeshi]

@turns2gold yeah, that's awesome.....yeah, bad production was a good thing with all the thrash bands...i agree 100%

[anahowana]

i don't like the remixed verions, ive been always a fan of the well produced original releases, megadeth has always a briliant sound since peace sells, harsh scratched sound can't do you a favor when you play something brutal, speedy&complex you need a defined clear sound .

[PearlJammer07]

@anahowana Peace Sells is my least favorite remaster. You got to admit the Killing is my Business remaster sounds great. The original sounded very gritty and raw. The original MD albums are nice. I have most of them. Still on the hunt for original Peace and SFSGSW on CD, record or cassette.

[obssedwitmabass]

@turns2gold as it turns out Killing Is My Bussines.. is an "ameture" album that is thrash like no other..

only true rock lovers like us can enjoy it.

[turns2gold]

@turns2gold I know I love the shitty quailty lol. I wish they would record a new album using all the same gear they used back then like kiss did not to long ago . This album sounds soo sick on vinyl too !

[Sparks424]

@turns2gold JEff is such a faggot ...

[aryinc]

@turns2gold

technically it is,it's the most technical intense albume there is but due to low production qualtiy i get why it isn't praised as much but on killing dave shows that he's the best guitarist in megadeth none of the higher classed guitarist can come up with daves ideas there.

[TheAnimalhouse96744]

@turns2gold The first five albums to me I think is the best out of Megadeths carrier. Not too bring this up, but In my opinion, Metallica, the first five albums for them is also the best work they did too.

[EddieVH666]

@turns2gold I like peace sells better. I think the songs are better structured and I never liked the mechanix. But KIMB was amazing too so I'm with you there but I think the song peace sells probably did the trick in making the album a better seller and got more people exposed to the band so thats why it got more public praise

[Sparks424]

@turns2gold its Pure Raw aggression so didnt appeal to the mainstream world but i love it . Great Licks and speed best album agreed . 

[JackassPogo]

isn't it from killing is my business?

[Metallihead22]

yea and thats their first album.

[shinshoryuken]

For some reason Dave never plays Into the lungs of hell at any live event. I dont konw why that song is intense as fuck.

[thrashistheshit]

@shinshoryuken I fuckin agree! They should open their set with it!

[11DNA11]

@shinshoryuken He actually has played a small part of Into The Lungs of Hell live as early as 1984. Just saw a video of it in YouTube. Name of the vid was something like Dave Mustaine Guitar Solo 1984. It's back when Kerry King was playing a few gigs with Megadeth.

[Brutalyeah]

@shinshoryuken

im starting to wonder hes not playing some sht\it cus hes christian now :s, like devils island or black friday. i would pay hundreds to hear good mourning / black friday live

[scrapkillax2]

@shinshoryuken

... They say those who see Mustaine play that song live can't handle the intensity and don't live on to tell the tale...

[lucretia101]

@shinshoryuken uhhh, they did in the last five years and it was fucking awesome.

[ACE101896]

@shinshoryuken he turned into some born again christian thats why he dnt play into the lungs of hell or go to hell

[DaveMustaineOwns]

@ACE101896 i don't believe that's why he doesn't play into the lungs of hell. just cuz the title has the word "Hell" in it doesn't mean he won't play it. In the song headcrusher he says "From your cell straight to hell". But idk if he'd play the song go to hell or not just cuz the lyrics to it are pretty out there lol

[funnyboys117]

@DaveMustaineOwns He says he wont play into the lungs of hell because he doesnt really like to play instrumentals live Dialectic chaos is the only one ive seen them play in years & that was just cuz the new album & as for "go to hell" in his Biography he said its purely for the movie he says the lyrics arnt really his style the director of the movie asked him to make it extremely sadistic and he did it cuz well that what was wanted

[Hughesy16LFC]

@shinshoryuken Yeh that would make a great opening song
