Description | The music video of this song was directed by the artist Robert Longo and edited by artist Gretchen Bender. The video includes a dramatic pause in the middle of the song where a teenage boy, wearing a Slayer T-shirt, watching a montage of live Megadeth performances and war footage on his living room television set. The boy’s father, states “What is this garbage you’re watching? I want to watch the news!,” and changes the television channel to a news station using the remote control. His son, replying with “This is the news!,” changes it back to the Megadeth performance using the TV set’s channel knob. The beginning of the video also showed the explosion of the original low-cost skull used on the cover of the previous album, Killing is My Business… and Business is Good!. |
