Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due

Source: TV File Info: Video: MPEG-2 video , 720x480, 29.97 fps, VBR (Constant quality), Maximum 6124 Kb/s Audio: Dolby Digital, 48000 Hz, Stereo, 448 kbps "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" is the opening track of heavy metal band Megadeth's 1990 album Rust in Peace. The song has an unusual structure, shifting at 2:26 after an acoustic bridge by Marty Friedman to a different, slower and heavier section called "The Punishment Due". The entire song is generally referred to as simply "Holy Wars". The lyrical theme of "Holy Wars" deals with the Northern Ireland conflict. In an interview with the UK magazine Guitarist, Mustaine says that he was inspired to write the song in Northern Ireland, when he discovered bootlegged Megadeth T-shirts were on sale and was dissuaded from taking action to have them removed on the basis that they were part of fund raising activities for "The Cause" (i.e. the Provisional Irish Republican Army). Dave also recently stated at a gig at Rock City (Nottingham, U.K. 18/02/2008) that it was at this venue that he wrote Holy Wars, after they travelled there from Ireland in a bullet proof bus. "The Punishment Due" is based on the popular Marvel comic book character, The Punisher. The song is the last song played during the encore of all recent Megadeth shows, though often in the middle they splice "Mechanix" between "Holy Wars" and "The Punishment Due". The song is playable in the band simulation game Rock Revolution. The "Holy Wars...the Punishment Due" video was made in August 1990 (around the time of the beginning of the Gulf War in 1990) and it contained news footage of various conflicts throughout the world during the 1980s and 1990s, the majority of which were of the conflicts in the Middle East. Rust in Peace is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth. It was released by Capitol Records in 1990. A remixed and remastered version, featuring several bonus tracks, was released in 2004. A limited edition 180 Gram LP using the original mix was issued in the U.S. in 2008 by Capitol Records. This is the only remastered version of the original mix currently available. Singles featured on the album include "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due", and "Hangar 18", both of which were made into music videos. This was the first Megadeth album to feature guitarist Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Menza. Rust in Peace was also nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 1991 Grammy Awards. My Videos: http://thepiratebay.se/user/2nafish/

Thanks!

The audio on this track is totally fucked. The amount of 'hiss' makes this unwatchable, unless you have lower standards than a Fergi fan.
