Megadeth - Rust In Peace
The Song Is About Prisoners Of War. "I Was Finally Fed Up With All Of The Shit That I Had Put Up With From Jeff And Chuck And Was Having So Much Fun With Nick And Marty That I Started Writing The Most Obnoxious Stuff That I Could Think Of. I Did Not Take Into Account That Marty Was Jewish And Singing About The Panzer Divisions And Having Him Sing Backups Was Not Cool Now That I Think About It. I Do However Say My Favorite Line That I Always Tell New Bands At The End Of This Song 'Take No Shit From Anyone Ever!'" Mustaine 2001 "There Are Some Busy Rhythm/lead Breaks/stops In The Middle Of This Song That Were A Bitch To Play In Time! This Was Before ProTools And Quantizing So You Really Had To Nail Stuff." Friedman 2002
