A GOOD EXCUSE TO POST MEGADETH’S “SWEATING BULLETS” VIDEO
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 at 2:00pm by Axl RosenbergWe’re pretty late on reporting this, but in case you haven’t heard, Megadeth main man Dave Mustaine has written an autobiography. It’s called Hello Me… Meet the Real Me, is supposed to come out in late 2010, and will actually be written by a dude named Joe Layden (Because rock stars never actually write their own shit. Except for the MetalSucks columnists like Dallas, Eyal, etc. But those dudes aren’t really “rock stars” I guess, so they still have some brains left.).
The clever title – which, in case you’re a total moron, is a lyric from “Sweating Bullets” – immediately made me giggle. Because while I think Mustaine is a brilliant musician, I don’t think he’s a very sincere dude, and I have a hard time believing that the book will actually tell us much about the “real” Dave Mustaine. Or, at least, the actual text won’t – there will probably be all sorts of fun Freudian deductions to made from reading between the lines. Still, there might be some good gossip in there somewhere. I definitely plan to buy a copy.
ANYWAY, here’s the video for “Sweating Bullets.” Side note: it was directed by Wayne Isham, who also directed 99% of all Metallica videos ever made. Hm.
-AR
Even in music videos that man can not act. If you can find the clip, look for him as Torchy Thompson on some Sci Fi show from way back when. I think the show was Black Widow.
This song always came off gimmicky to me.
Megadeth are a trash metal band
Nice story. TELL IT TO READER’S DIGEST!
Best. Lyric. Ever.
I love the solo in this song.

Wayne Isham directed stuff for the Backstreet Boys and ‘N sync as well.
FYI
As much as this song rocks, it’s just as equally corny too. The video doesn’t exactly make it any less corny. Then again, Dave Mustaine has never been a particularly amazing lyricist.
Haha, this video always has made me laugh. Super cheesy. But great song. :)
“Hey Beavis, this guy talks like you…”
so… mustaine’s just a regular Joe. huh.
Stupid question: is it me, or is the breakdown in that song a White Zombie tribute?
this video always made me laugh.. i can’t believe how red his hair is… i know he’s a ginger, but christ! it’s looks as though it’s about to spontaneously combust
