It's not that the lyrics that Megadeath wrote back then mirror what is going on now, it's that the political corruption that has been going on before most of us where born is ongoing and western government is rigged so that it must maintain status quo at the cost of ever being able to fix any real problem if doing so would threaten said status quo.
I would highly recommend titling this as the "Official banned Version" as you can find on Megadeath's own site and wiki the real story why this version is and was pulled from all sites on a regular basis. Kudos and A+ for posting the only real video of the best song ever. "Symphony of Destruction (Director: Wayne Isham, producer: Curt Marvis) When it was first released, this video was in heavy rotation on MTV. It shows some typical politician campaigning when the country is falling apart and the people are enraged. The politician finally gets assassinated in a scene that was censored for MTV. There are also some shots of the band playing in between. MTV didn't like the video for "Symphony of Destruction" because of an assassination scene that they felt was "too harsh". "We said, 'You know what, the video registers good in our hearts, and we feel we've done the best job we can do. Whatever you need to do to it in order to get the point across to kids out there that we're being led down a one-way street off a cliff by the people that are ruling this country right now, go ahead.' I think it's more important that our point got across than the fact of whether or not we had to soften up a certain scene or lose it altogether." (Dave Mustaine) "
Truth of political corruption & all of that shite, is wassup in this song! Dave Mustane/Megadeth ain't EVER been afraid to "go there" & address all that mess! Puttin thangs on heavy metal blast!
You take a mortal man And put him in control Watch him become a god Watch peoples heads a 'roll A 'roll, a 'roll Just like the pied piper Led rats through the streets We dance like Marionettes Swaying to the symphony of destruction Acting like a robot It's metal brain corrodes You try to take its pulse Before the head explodes Explodes, explodes Just like the pied piper Led rats through the streets We dance like Marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the pied piper Led rats through the streets We dance like Marionettes Swaying to the symphony Swaying to the symphony of destruction The earth starts to rumble World powers fall A warring for the heavens A peaceful man stands tall Tall, tall Just like the pied piper Led rats through the streets We dance like Marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the pied piper Led rats through the streets We dance like Marionettes Swaying to the symphony Swaying to the symphony of destruction
I love the story of his song, so we have a mayor, a reverend, a police chief, and idk what the fat guy is, the corrupted bunch who are all on top of the little people, the mayor seems like such a good man but his corruption becomes clear, the people turn against him, and his "friends" are ready to stab the mayor in the back, a peaceful man stands tall or so it seems as that man(probably one of his "friends) will just continue the cycle
I don't know why this great theme not won any grammy award.. what a hell happened..!!!! who people select all this award.!! this song should had won...!!!
I just met a MegaDeath family member. I am usually never star struck. But. Damn. I felt like a kid tasting candy for the first time in my life. These guys are awesome.
Kingy B lol Disturbed sucks. Nu-metal tried to destroy true good metal and damn near succeeded...for that I will never forgive whack bands like that. “Oooooo-whack-ack-ack-ack” Yeah....just brilliant right there haha 😐
Praying for you, David. Please know and especially remember that God loves you, so much that he sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place for your sins so you wouldn't have to. God will either heal you, or he will bring you home. I hope you are still a believer. Please keep your faith in him always. My husband children and I will remember you in our prayers.

Damn that riff is wicked. 30 years later and you can still feel it in your bones.
I want that basketball goal where it was written!!
twahlbrink0911 not 30 years yet
"It's Commie brain corrodes"
Yeah always loved it !
Even then, Megadeth was politically on point, scary how the lyrics back then mirror what's happening now in this country

Ironic that you say that, given Dave Mustaine's political leanings.
It’s always been this way you just noticed, and the people I grew up with forgot this, or never got it.
Alvin Sanchez Music today sucks
@@venetadarkstar0 i didn't forget,this is probably reason mtv quit showing music videos
To think you could just turn on MTV and they'd be playing this during the day.... damn those were the days.
I know, right? I miss the earlier days of MTV whe they showed video like these, and Metallica's Enter Sandman and also Unforgiven were good, too.
9 dislikes? Wtf?? They gotta be imagine dragon fans
Fuck this motherfucker's
tfw you have night visions and kill em all next to each other on the 10/10 rack
Its kpop dick riders...
Prob shit ass Metallica lovers
Imagine this! I say!!
This is the only RUclips version of this that sounds excellent!! Thanks!😈👍
If 2020 ever had a theme song..

Yeah I think I saw that before it got pulled there was a black in blacj shades that shot the guy a few times with a revolver

I concur!
hmm, feel like this fits really well today.
Thanks for the info.
need a 2020 reboot of this vid, cause this is the theme song of 2020
My favourite Megadeth song!!!Respect!!!
It's so sad that I can watch this video and Think of Dave Mustaine as a Prophet. Hate to say it Dave but.... NAILED IT!
The times weren't much different. Dave wouldn't call himself a Prophet. He would say that the past is a good indication of future events.
This is METAL !!! AWESOME !!! THIS IS THE REAL SITUATION OF THE WORLD, ONE BY ONE, SYSTEM BY SYSTEM, DANCE THE SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION !!!
YES. YES. kick ass. dave mustaine rules...
Please get the reference
B&B
Heh....hehehe this is COOL.
Yeah, Megadeth RULES.
Saw Megadeth at Ziggy's in Winston Salem NC back in '99....GOOD Memories!!!...GREAT SHOW!!!
D 1st MEGADETH song I heard on FM radio back in 1992. I still have my Countdown to Extiction tape until now. \m/
I still have my CD of countdown to extinction
☢️I still have my original cassette tape too☢️
Watch The News (CNN), while listening to Megadeth - Symphony Of Destruction...and essentially turns into a Action Movie. LOL HAHAHA :D

Thank you! Reminds me of a great part of my life in Maui,
Aloha
I love Dave Mustaine

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a 'roll
A 'roll, a 'roll
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodes
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Classic Friedman solo.
Megadeth predicted Biden.

Holy hell!
Sure did!
It basically all politicians just not one republican or demercrate they all do that
'SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION' From The Great Album 'COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION'.Still Have CD & Cassette Too. Still Playing.

@@ampm4221 well said.

I just met a MegaDeath family member.
I am usually never star struck.
But. Damn. I felt like a kid tasting candy for the first time in my life.
These guys are awesome.
Kingy B lol Disturbed sucks. Nu-metal tried to destroy true good metal and damn near succeeded...for that I will never forgive whack bands like that.
“Oooooo-whack-ack-ack-ack”

To the 9 people (so far) that have disliked this video: if you really want to feel special learn CPR and go to a beach to help people.
THE TRUTH WILL FOREVER WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME ! 2019/2020

Rock on
Megadeth forever!
The Marionettes liked this video!!!
Would you like me to continue, any of these images would of broken a man with my skills, much less a child. I had to invetory everything.
☢️Still pertinent in 2022☢️🚨🆘🚼🔴⚪🔵
sounds like the trump era..."take a moral man put him in control, watch him become a god..." some of his followers see him as a massiah...
1:27 "You tried to take his baAAAaalls!"
Might be "classic", but spot on!
He who hath led the rats through the streets of downtown Austin Texas

@Golden Harvest Farming That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Who would've known they would've recorded a song back then that tells the story of obumas and bidens terms
Five finger was the headliner. No disrespect. Megadeath stoled the show...
The truth will set you free
Instead of nefarious violence ...
Suplex music
Is this song about Brandon?
You take a mortal man Zelenski and put him in control
Mustaine is the Nostradamus of Metal... to predict Trump's presidency is genius!! \m/
Dave voted for Trump
@@midnightpaintballer9612 just because dave is a conservative doesnt mean he voted for trump. hes a conservative...not stupid
@@bryfunkenstein so whos a smart conservative then you fucking ass hat? most "conservatives" like bush and mccaine voted for clinton
@@midnightpaintballer9612 Ron Paul mainley cause he's not a corporatist or egomaniac like Trump.
#LFLR
It seems, RUclips has been manipulating the numbers to lower than what they should be on this song.
WWE SVR 06 Remix

This is why no more videos on MTV,rock bands send too much of a message to people.
This song really makes sense in 2022 (AKA the Brandon administration).
Man it sucks I'm tied to Sir Hair Sniff forever now
Someone should redo this vid with Trump's face spliced in
This song bad af...
Looks biden
it is biden 3:51
This should be Trump song
They predicted trump

I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO GEORGE SOROS, BECAUSE HE THINKS HE IS A god!
I'm reading all of you sheep's comments and you don't even what stopped them from being bigger than what they were supposed to be
