Music Video Of The Day: Anarchy in the U.K. by Megadeth (1988, directed David Mackie)


In 1988, Megadeth covered this Sex Pistols classic on their album, So Far, So Good … So What!?  Even though they changed the name of the country to the U.S. for the song, they kept the title the same.  Steve Jones also played on the song.  The video, directed by David Mackie, mixes the brainwashing scene from A Clockwork Orange with the test video of the Parallax View.

This is one of the many song that, though having been a hit for the band, Dave Mustaine now refuses to perform.  In this case, it’s because of the references to being an anti-Christ.

Enjoy!
