Peace Sells - Megadeth

The bass intro to this cut always blew me away! I got an advanced promo copy on tape waaaay back in '86 and wrote my matric prelims with this blaring out of my walkman (remember them? - anybody remember casette tapes for that matter?!)

I was one of the earliest to get my hands on "Killing is my business" but it didn't really rock as hard as the first couple of Metallica albums of most of the other thrash bands of the day (Exodus, Exciter, Raven etc) but when I heard "Peace Sells" I was sold!

I saw Meagadeth at the Hammersmith Odeon in about 1993 I think. It was a real scorcher of a gig and I nearly did my nut when they played this track as an encore!
