Probably top 3 for me. I think they played it live back in the day (in fact, I think I saw a bootleg of them playing it with Kerry King on Dimeadozen) but with Dave's current religion, I doubt they would now.

And that makes me a sad panda.

Dave needs to get just a LITTLE more like Tom Araya and not be afraid to sing certain Megadeth songs *cough*goodmourning/blackfriday*cough*

Araya is such a bad Christian.

Then again, Dave Mustaine still "says "fuck" and likes blowjobs".

O_o

Looking Down the Cross is left pretty open, I think it could be just as easily argued as a pro-Christ song.

Yeah. The way I see it it's just a retelling of jesus's death from jesus's perspective. That said, there have been right wing groups to take it way out of context and call it a "satanic song". And Dave might simply think it doesn't portray what was going through Jesus's mind in the same way that his religion does (although the song does seem like a realistic and human version). Maybe he just doesn't want to piss off the right wing Christian fundies?

Who knows. As a Christian I love the lyrics though.

As a Jew, I love the lyrics, but more for how they were written as opposed to the subject matter.
