Music Quotes:
If you're fighting to live, it's OK to die... - Megadeth Submitted by: LucidLupin
| Quitting drugs is like having sex with a gorilla, you're not done until the gorilla is. - Megadeth |
Band Name Origins:
- Dave Mustaine saw it in a newspaper "the arsenal of megadeath can't be rid" or something really close to that. He used it as a song name, but then used it as the band name. He took out th "A" cuz he thought it looked cheesy with it. Submitted by: The Funt
- The word "megadeath" means "the death of a million people", like something that would be caused by an atom bomb. They used the word (surely fitting to their subject matter), and just took out the "e" to be unique. Submitted by: xThrashxTillxDeathx

Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"Rust In Peace... Polaris"
Misheard Lyrics: I rise from the sea like a god.
Original Lyrics: I spread disease like a dog.
|
Story about this misheard lyric by: Larsen I was 100% certain this is what Dave sang until I read the lyrics sheet. To this day I think it both sounds better AND fits the subject matter better (as the Polaris nuclear missile was fired from a submarine). |

The Funny Lyrics: Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Why They're Funny: I love Megadeth; I'm not picking on them. He's probably talking about the scent of a chemical or something of equal relevance to the song.
