This song is brilliant, always sounds more natural at this speed rather than the slowed down four horsemen. Although yeah, the lyrics and singing in general is better for four horsemen. Good job both Dave's lyrics and singing got much better for the following albums.

I like version on the old metallica demos, if you havent heard it yet you should hear it. I think it sounds better and its not as fast, which I like for this perticular song. Love mustaine and metallica! And this is what they can do when they're combined. A true work of art!

This song is actually a faster version of "Four Horseman" by Metallica. I heard about that on a radio show once. Very good tune

Ive been a Metallica fan since I was in 3rd grade, and Kill Em was one of the first albums I ever bought. I had heard of Megadeth a year or two later, but didnt know the history between the two bands. I first listened to this song in 7th grade and was shocked at how similar this and Horsemen sounded(Remember, I had no idea these two bands had any history). So after a little research, I discovered what shadowfilth pretty much said, and became a huge Megadeth fan, and the two bands are in my top three favorite bands, along with Iron Maiden. As for the meaning, thats obvious, the second post pretty much summed it up

Whoever says Mustaine can't solo for shit... He doesn't use slurs as often as other guitarists but he can fucking SHRED. Just listen to Into the Lungs of Hell. Great song, along with this one.

this is mustaines song. He wrote it. this songs is far more musically advanced than four horesman. Better solo !. Mustaine cant do solos for shit but his rythem kicks hetfields ass. I agree though hetfield can write better lyrics.

Im a massive fan of the four horseman, one of my favourite 'tallica songs ever, and when i heard this i was shocked by the similarity of it however i love it! but the lyrics suck. As a drummer i found it much more challenging to play to this track but now i'm heaps better at playing the four horseman. sweet song. And yeah, shadowfilth, good point.
