‘Symphony of Destruction’ is one of Megadeth’s slicker, more mainstream creations. The opening riff of the big hit is a simple, crunching figure that focuses on bandleader Dave Mustaine’s expert down strokes and bassist David Ellefson’s machine-like unison playing. The song even begins with a snatch of Mozart, just to show the world that metal musicians are cultured too!
