Good Mourning/Black Friday

Well I guess I am week late with the Black Friday post, but never-the-less, here it is. Good Mourning/Black Friday is a song written by Megadeth. It's about seven or so minutes long. The first part of the song is pretty calm and consists mainly of just instruments with only a few lines of lyrics, one being "Good mourning".
The song then leads into the Black Friday with a quick drum fill. At that point, the tempo of the song probably doubles. It then goes into a heavier metal feeling. The guitar part picks up and goes into some wailing solos. Dave Mustaine then enters with the vocals. Now, if you had never heard of what Black Friday was, you would probably assume it was some horrible event that happened in the past or something, right? Well Megadeth decided that this song was not going to be about shopping, instead it is about killing and murder and all that fun stuff. At the end of the song the whole band repeats the line "It's Black Friday, paint the devil on the wall" several times. I love this song.

Here's a video of it from Rockband because it censors a certain word.
