Megadeth “Symphony Of Destruction” Guitar Cover

“Symphony of Destruction” by Megadeth was written by Dave Mustaine and released in 1992 on the band’s fifth studio album, Countdown to Extinction. The song centers on the dangers of placing enormous power in the hands of a single leader and the way people can become followers under that control, using the Pied Piper and marionette imagery throughout the lyrics. It was one of the album’s singles and became one of Megadeth’s signature songs, reaching the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and later appearing on numerous Megadeth compilations and live releases. Countdown to Extinction was released in 1992, reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and was certified double platinum.
