Dave Mustaine: how I wrote Megadeth’s Holy Wars… The Punishment Due

List Megadeth’s all-time greatest songs, and Holy Wars … The Punishment Due is guaranteed to be near the top. Taken from 1990’s iconic Rust In Peace album, it features a classic Dave Mustaine lyric about religious hatred and sectarianism, inspired by a real-life incident when a drunken Mustaine prompted a near-riot by inadvertently making a pro-IRA statement onstage at the Antrim Forum in Northern Ireland in 1988. Three decades on, Dave looks back on the explosive incident that led to an all time classic.
