So, about the video.I'm not sure why, but in the early 90s metal bands started a trend that would later take over hip-hop videos all together, that of making us believe that their video was more like a full motion picture than a simple video clip for their latest single. The video for Holy Wars was already out, and although not as heavy as some of the music I listened to at the time, the high rifforama factor of the tune was certainly pleasing to my ears. Anyway, an entire episode was actually devoted to a behind the scenes look at the making of the video, so this was a big deal. Then again, what the hell did I know.I wore Brut cologne in a misguided attempt to attract the opposite sex. As a young man, the thought of a cool sci-fi/metal short film must have been intoxicating. Mustaine had talked about the video basically being a sci-fi short movie. At the time, I was not a huge Megadeth fan, but much had been made in earlier episodes of The Ball about the large budget and special effects that would surely make this video a classic. My memories are just as vivid of those of earlier generations who gathered around the television to watch The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. The world premiere of the new Megadeth video was set to air during Headbanger's Ball, and I couldn't wait.
