song Notes

Now that Dave Mustaine has released his version of this classic, you can really hear the difference between his idea of it and how Metallica heard it. For me, the Metallica version has more life and soul, you can hear Cliff playing in the spaces whereas the Megadeth Version is kind of clinical and very “Countdown to Extinction” in it’s execution.
