"Let me introduce myself, I'm a social disease..."

  • The lyrics for "Good Mourning/Black Friday".
    My hammer's a cold piece of blood-lethal steel
    I grin while you writhe with the pain that I deal
    Swinging the hammer, I hack through their heads
    Deviant defilers, you're next to be dead
    I unleash my hammer with sadistic intent
    Pounding, surrounding, slamming through your head
  • "The Conjuring". One of the few songs Dave Mustaine has trouble playing today due to his Christian beliefs.
  • The cover art to The World Needs a Hero.
    • Speaking of which, the opening 3 minutes of "When".
  • "Skull Beneath the Skin". The song delves into satanic cults, unholy worships and horrendous human experimentation - detailing the "birth" of mascot Vic Rattlehead.
  • Virtually all of Dystopia. A true soundtrack to the post-apocalypse if there ever was one.
  • "Rust in Peace...Polaris", with eerie synthesized vocals sung from the perspective of a nuclear missile.
  • "Set the World Afire" is themed around a nuclear holocaust.
  • Vic Rattlehead, once you give the concept a closer look. It's a guy that's had his ears removed, metal cans shoved in, his lips cut off, with giant rings forcing the mouth shut and his eye sockets carved out to make room for the metal visor.
