Black Curtains

Easily one of the heaviest on Youthanasia. Instead of bastardizing the song by arguing about what it sounds like, let's talk about the song's MEANING.

It Sounds to me as if it is about a Nuclear Holocaust that has been unleashed upon the world :

"Bang... it happened Time's up, armageddon Fire... meltdown The sky is crumbling in"

"Escape... you're joking Can't find no place to run"

"Hair... is burning My flesh is bubbling up"

Very clear meaning IMO

There is alot of Metallica running through Megadeth songs, like "A Secret Place" beginning sounds like "Wherever I May Roam". That being said, Megadeth is still a good group, even though its only Dave now.

Seems as if you two have know idea that Dave Mustaine was previously in Metallica... I have a burning urge to just say "Duh".

Oh I am well aware of Dave's history in Metallica, I'm just saying...

Who cares what other band they sound like? Does it really matter? I mean music is music and it's good music so no complaints.

That's true. Metallica is a great band, so why not have one that sounds similar? Two greats bands. =)

Its not that Megadeth rips off Metallica, its that Dave helped write a lot of these songs or wrote them. IMO he has the right to use what he wrote.

Megadeth dosnt sound anything like metallica, There are a couple of riffs that are simalar but u could find similarites in loads of bands

They might have similar riffs, but they are totally differnt sounds.

More or less they are talking about the end of the world it sounds like. Everything is pure chaos, and death is coming and you can not stop it.

To the first two commenters: The beginning of this song is, at most, reminiscent of Harvester of Sorrow. I think you're full of bullshit and should stop making false accusations. A lot of metal sounds similar. And A Secret Place only sounds "similar" because they used a sitar or something that sounds like one. The riff on it is entirely different from Wherever I May Roam.
