Symphony of Destruction
"Symphony of Destruction" is a song by American heavy metal band Megadeth, released as a single from their 1992 album, ''Countdown to Extinction''. The lyrics explore the hypothetical situation where an average citizen is placed in a position where he runs the country while the public is led by a phantom government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Symphony of Destruction Info )〕 Penned by vocalist and frontman Dave Mustaine, the song received significant radio play and charted in various territories, making it one of Megadeth's best known songs.
The song was generally well received by critics, and its accompanying music video by Wayne Isham initially received heavy rotation on MTV, but eventually became controversial and was edited because of an assassination scene that MTV felt was "too harsh".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://megadeth.rockmetal.art.pl/videos_exposure.html#Symphony )〕 The video features each band member individually playing, with a mostly black-and-white nonlinear narrative revolving around a political candidate who is assassinated, and the massive amount of anarchy and riots caused by the event.〔 The song has been featured in several sources of media, and has been covered by several bands.
==Origins==
Vocalist Dave Mustaine described, in Guitar Center Sessions, the development of "Symphony of Destruction" as ''stroke of luck''. One day while driving down Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles to his home, he was stricken by a headache. Inspired, he began writing lyrics on the back of a sushi receipt, " My metal brains corroding, my head is going to explode".〔 In 1992 Megadeth recorded the demo〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.last.fm/music/Megadeth/_/Symphony+of+Destruction+(demo) )〕 for what would become "Symphony of Destruction" and after some tweaking, the song was finished and recorded for inclusion on their fifth studio album, ''Countdown to Extinction''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.megadeth.com/discography.php?era_id=5 )〕 Originally, the first version of the song was much longer but was edited a lot during its pre-production for ''Countdown''.〔
Mustaine wrote the lyrics to the song, which were written about what he perceived to be how the masses were being led to their own destruction by political leaders, which is where the title is derived, ''Symphony of Destruction''.〔 The famous legend Pied Piper of Hamelin, is mentioned in the song and contains direct correlations to the lyrical meaning of the song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.answers.com/topic/symphony-of-destruction-3 )〕 In the legend, the Pied Piper had the ability to force children and rats to follow his demands mindlessly, like the political leaders do to the public.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.lyricsg.com/146978/lyrics/megadeth/symphonyofdestruction.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/14557/ )〕
