For songs that mention the band’s name, you can always count on metal.
Of the holy triumvirate of speed-metal (Slayer, Metallica, and Megadeth), Killing Is My Business is my favorite debut album — muddy production, funky bass tones and all. The “Rattlehead” riff is one of the most wickedass speed-metal riffs of all time.
Don’t wear no leather to fit in
Don’t wear no spikes to be cool
Don’t want no woman beside him
Just make it fast, loud and rude
Megadeth – Rattlehead from Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good!
(If you can, find an old copy — the new CDs bleep out words in “These Boots” because Lee Hazlewood objected, and some previous versions eliminated the song altogether)
