Disco de Megadeth: “Symphony of Destruction [2]”

Some of these videos are cool right through. Some are cool at parts. Ex. Symphony of Destruction has a cool part when the band is shown and some other scenes too. Go to Hell is brilliant right through, scary and weird. The best thing about the go to hell video is when they have edited so that you can see what all of the instruments are playing at once. This is a pretty short video, and it[is too bad] that it is only avalible in America. However, besides all original videos you get to see some live videos. Cool, even if it had been cool to hear someone from the band present each video or to throw in some extras. Hope this will come on DVD soon.

Symphony of Destruction was the first single released by Megadeth to promote their megahit 1992 album

.

The disc features three songs. The first is the "radio mix" of the "Symphony of Destruction". Oddly enough, the radio version doesn't shave any of the song's length for the sake of radio (not that I've ever heard Megadeth on the radio in the first place). The second song is a studio b-side called "Breakpoint" that for a while at least was exclusive to this release. It's a snarling thrasher that would have been right at home on Countdown to Extinction. The final song - "Go To Hell" - was featured on the

soundtrack, and is one of my all-time favorite Megadeth tracks.

Unfortunately, the Symphony of Destruction single was made obsolete in 1995 when the

rarities collection was released. Since Hidden Treasures has both "Breakpoint" and "Go To Hell", there's really no reason to own this single unless you really feel compelled to hear that radio remix of "Symphony of Destruction". Yeah, I didn't think so either.

I really liked the videos themselves, however, it could have been improved tenfold if only some of the members of megadeth would have introduced the videos or at least come out and said something. Also, the version I have is the laser disc, great video and sound.

This is an excellent video package. It features two videos from each of three albums. The videos are, Wake up Dead, Peace Sells... , Anarchy in the UK, In my Darkest Hour, Holy Wars, and Hanger 18. A must have.

This video contains no interviews or dialogue from the band but it contains great videos that can't be seen anywhere else.
