Megadeth - 44 Minutes Lyrics
It was a cool winter's morning
Somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM
The armored car they wanted to heist wasn't coming
So instead they went for the bank
Heavily sedated with thousands of round
Armor piercing, fully automatic weapons
The bowls of wrath poured out on the ground
[Chorus:]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife
And brought down the beast!!!
[Solo - Chris]
This was an accident waiting to happen
It wasn't if it would happen, it was when
The city's people sabotaged themselves
Calling their firepower an unneeded expense
Standard police issue guns were just not enough
But SWAT arrived to settled the fight
Between AK-47 and AR-15
[Chorus]
[Solo - Chris]
[Solo - Dave]
[Solo - Chris]
[Chorus]

Megadeth 44 Minutes Comments
Broderick - my fave after Marty
Straight Boogaloo shit
North Hollywood Shootout at 6600 Laurel Canyon Blvd!!
10 YEARS IT'S TERRIBLE ALBUM ENDGAME, ONE CLASSIC IN THE DISCOGRAPHY OF MEGADETH.
4:02 if you put in speed 1,25 sounds like a holy. wars
diego alvarez flores hahahahaha so true
You've earned your like
i never skip THESE 44 minutes
Shooting up the end games status we live 4 ever BITCHS
cool vinyl love it
My god this song is awful
Fuck Dave has boring vocals
Esto va para el que entienda español , en el minuto 4:01 el riff es de la primera gyitarra es el mismo que el de holly wars solo que más lento con un poco de cambio en el bajo y bateria pero el riff es el mismo Yeahh!!!
Probably my favourite Megadeth chorus outside of RIP (the album) and Trust.
Every day this song become more true. Just look at europe. We are giving up weapons just to welcome terorists disarmed.
you do realize this song is about the North Hollywood shootout, which was a bank robbery in the late 90's. the the line "the city's people sabotaged themselves calling their firepower an unneeded expense" refers to the people of North Hollywood voting no on a referendum that would have increased their taxes in exchange for more AR-15s in each squad car.
Metallica are better.
Broderick really killed it with the solos on this album.
Dave Megadeth should make a song about a young man who dreams of achieving great things in his life, but soon discovers that unless he signs a deal with the Corporation, he will not have access to the resources to allow him to make his dreams reality. So he signs the deal. As he grows older, the man realizes that the Corporation is devouring his soul, and those great things he dreamed of achieving, he already had them, but now the Corporation owns the copyright to them, while he is reduced to a puppet in strings, an idol for the nations to worship, his soul poisoned, a golem built around it, feeding off the divine.
This album marked a huge improvement in Megadeth's sound, in my opinion.
Megadeth has always been a great band, but FUCK, this mix is mean!
This plus COD 4's "Death from Above". Perfect.
the bass in this song gives me chills
Ju no who?
You looky lose why do you push your brother's and sisters to do what you would never do if you had to you would need a diaper and your hand held you know I still love you but you pissed me off.
Everytime you run into the usual argument of Metallica vs Megadeth, say this:
In 2009, Megadeth produced 'Endgame', with this as the best track from the album, in my opinion. And what Metallica did? Well, I can't decide neither what's the best or the worst song out of 'Death Magnetic', the album simply lacks content and any interest to me. It's an attempt to emulate something that they can't do anymore.
That should sum up the argument over who IS the best out of the two, nowadays. ;)
all nightmare long, that was just your life, day that never comes
Press a dislike on it, therefore more deluded people know religiously - it’s bad : therefore are forced to Follow a big Way... by the Glory of God the Father . Amen
perfect song for when i play payday the heist and cops are storming the building and there is not much more they can do, also great for counter strike as well when you feel like being the bad guy
Underrated song woah
RIP Larry & Emil
this song is about north hollywood
ENDGAME>ENDGAME
It was a cool winter's morning
Somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM
The armored car they wanted to heist wasn't coming
So instead they went for the bank
The fateful duo that sat in the get-away car
Heavily sedated with thousands of round
Armor piercing, fully automatic weapons
The bowls of wrath poured out on the ground
[Chorus:]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife
Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
And brought down the beast!!!
[Solo - Chris]
This was an accident waiting to happen
It wasn't if it would happen, it was when
The city's people sabotaged themselves
Calling their firepower an unneeded expense
The two most violent men it seemed couldn't be stopped
Standard police issue guns were just not enough
But SWAT arrived to settled the fight
Between AK-47 and AR-15
[Chorus]
[Solo - Chris]
[Solo - Dave]
[Solo - Chris]
[Chorus]
[Solo - Chris]
Best song off Endgame
what games endgame?
youtube.com/watch?v=Wty8VSi4Fs0
That. Bass. Tone. ♥️
Cut my balls off ? stuck em in the mail-box with the flag up?? next thing i know cops came ?? no more home Sex change kits for me*
I drive by the intersection where this happened every day. People tell me there are still bullets lodged in the walls on the corner structures.
Paleto Bay anyone?
This is awesome
The 100 people who disliked this should of gone to the shoot out with a pocket knife only
metal 's not for everyone, definitly Megadeth is a so genious and symphnonic band.. like they have new memebers, this band stays the best ever
This is just pompous melodic pop rock symphonic mush
Something happened to Dave Megadeth after Youthanasia
Long live King David MUSTAINE
Endgame couldn't be more perfect if they tried.
This song is very good.
Criminally underrated song from Endgame, the main hook is catchy as hell.
Criminally under rated
Funny thing is that Dave Mustaine actually made a few minor changes to the story to fit the song better. The heisters were not using armor piercing rounds. and i saw a comment about how the dude that died took his own life, he didnt. My dad met one of the officers involved in stopping the heist, and they went to a gun store, apprehended a few .30-06s, and shot him in the neck, the only vulnerable part his body. the weapons the police were using did not get through the armor the heisters were wearing
4:03 holy wars
my battery is 44% rn
That christian bastard named Dave Mustain stole the opening riff from Dissection's song "The Somberlain"
Oh shit! The bassline of the verse is awesome and crude, so unreal fuck!!! Awesome Junior.
Jefferson Araujo That's not junior though, that's James Lomenzo.
Larry and Emil would be overjoyed to know that there is a song about them
Mikhail lol yea
Leave it to Dave to write a song about the '97 N. Hollywood shootout.
MY FAVORITE THIS ALBUM
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm SUPER ZAWSZE NA HIT ZASLUGUJE BEST HIT
aptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell's breaking loose my best chorus
Larry Phillips Jr. and Emil Mataseranu
endgame is definitely a super solid album with memorable riffs and heavy songs.
Ikr, and it's so underated
From David recent interview
"We´re working on it. I mean, the last year we spent… We literally had no left over material for ”Dystopia” (2016). I mean nothing. We cleaned out the vaults. In fact I heard a lot of stuff from the three records I didn´t play on, especially ”Endgame” (2009) and I was like ”Whoa!” There´s a lot of cool stuff that I remember writing at soundchecks with Nick (Menza) and Marty (Friedman) and different things and I was happy to hear those turning into songs, but by the time we got done with ”Dystopia” the vault was empty. "
best album of the decade so far
I believe they sampled an AK-47 bullet shot underneath the snare to give it more ambiance.
It just shows how smart Dave is
Endgame and Rust are their two best albums
panthertrain1984 Dystopia, Rust in Peace and Countdown!
MaTaFiX agreed
Thirteen, Endgame, Dystopia
Grell Motionless peace sells countdown to extinction rust in peace....those are the best!
2:50 blessed part
I am glad Dave left METALLICA now I have two favorite band
Megadeth s better little kids😂😈
@MirkoS1995 lol you are the dumbest fuck on the internet. Megadeth alone is WAY better than Metallica. All their shit that was even good was on Kill Em' All, which, guess what, was mainly written by Dave Mustaine. They stole it from him, then kicked him out. Lol you are autistic, Megadeth rules.
@Slayer Megadeth like your name. Megadeth and Slayer are the two best bands ever. Metallica and Anthrax both suck tho
@# teamgreen # he'll yeah
Metallica + Megadeth = Heaven
4:01 holy wars?
excellent heavy metal \m/
Thrash Metal*
yeah ,ok but Thrash metal is a type of heavy metal.its heavy metal + punk Rock
dat bass tone
minecraft
i love this song
I don't normally rate Chris Broderick's soloing ability, sounds boring imo. But I have to say, his solo at 2:35 is fucking killer! \m/
i think the final solo in Me Hate You(Dystopia bonus track ) at min 2:38 is the hardest and impossible solo in Megadeth prodution. The technique of legato, slide and tapping skills in that solo is out of human possibilities except for aliens like Steve Vai.
solos climax metallica compremisew/mustaine make this happen i KNOW fans/people'want to get to hear listen to the 9ortten tracks completed right off the bat off their head' trust me this will make history hall of fame for the former mustaine alongw
waiting longawaited album since rtlightning,mopuppets,before jason hit the lights as cliff burtonit will be probably amazing fantastic energy potential ladenriffs
This album is also 44 minutes.
+rickmangler ill give you a thumbs up for a thumbs up to the thumbs up
+Brock Crutchfield the song shoulda been 4:40
cool avatar bro, scenes is epic af
A mere three seconds could be added by stretching it with a tempo filter. Nobody would notice but by eyeing the length and checking it against the original.
Metropolis Pt.3 the game and the death magnet
esa voz y sonido de EL GRAN DAVE Y CHRIS son espectaculares es una increíble canción y un exelente disco
This song when playing Payday 2, going loud...
+Zero Fighter man i actually do that
I finished the new overdrill on Payday 2 listening to this music
+diogo apm do the 🐐 heist with this going, worst heist ever :(
i dont think so but
payday went full jew mode
I can't be the only one who thinks this song is about the north Hollywood bank shooting that happened wayy back in 1997
No, but that's only because it is
and there is the inspiration
who thinks that at the start of the song the guitar sounds like a rifle burst firing?
+SILVERGENY A dude made a video mixing the music with the footage from the movie based on the shootout. It matches perfectly with the AK´s sounds ;)!
I bet Dave Mustaine looked at the album on New Year's Eve for 2010 and thought 'Yep, old enough to be remastered'.
now super colider
+ThrashMetal86 now dystopia
Now this have a remastered version. Not necessary, but ok
I love Dave due to the fact that he is so opiniated and keeps up with todays issues. We live in such a dysfunctional violent society. Great tune I have to buy this cd now. Megadeth rules \m/
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife
getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
and brought down the beast!!
god knows why all members of Megadeth keep walking out on Dave
Most got fired.
many people know
Dave was a dick. but God Damn am i happy Metallica fired him. Dave is a fucking beast
This is much better than that stupid Rob Zombie Hellbilly Deluxe 2. That album is horrible.
since david stop using drugs he is not as creative as he used to be this song is a great one though
James Lomenzo played bass on this record. David didn't return until Th1rt3en.
u ever listen to Rust In Peace bro?
he kicked all the shit 4 that album. yeah...its pretty not-too-shabby! of course this waz their 1st album w/MarTay!!
very good song
this is probably their last good album
Never said that they didn't slow down, I said that Megadeth in the past was really fast but not actually heavy.
@Walamonga 1313 If they were never considered fast in the past.. then Metallica was never fast also. Killing is my Business - peace sells and rust in peace were all pretty fast stuff.. Endgame was great.. super collider was so so.
@Jay Belaire Rust in peace was a masterpiece. Every song had great solos and very good sound and overall album was A1.. this would be considered one of there best albums. The whole album from beginning to end is amazing. Peace sells is a Megadeth trade mark of albums.. its the album that gave them a mark in heavy metal.. everyone keeps forgetting So Far.. So good.. so what album.. that album was awesome also.. no one ever mentioned that album.. very heavy and really great solos also. Liar - set the world afire - Anarchy in the UK..502...hook in mouth was overall a great heavy metal album.. System has failed and United Abomination brought them back into the heavier mainstream music again.. but Endgame and Th3rteen was still pretty heavy and good.. Any band that's been around for 30 plus years will always have hit and miss albums.. even Judas Priest and Aerosmith had a few not so good albums over the years.. its gonna happen when bands experiment a little and try different things.
@Walamonga 1313 Five Magics is easily the best song on Rust in Peace, next to Hangar 18 and Tornado Of Souls.
+Jay Belaire That's what I like though. If the band actually progresively changes their sound. Because if all the albums were the same, people would get tired of it. Anyway, I think you simply can't please everyone's desires. As far as the band loves what they are doing, it's all good.
I'm glad someone made a song about this shootout. I think this song pays tribute to both the perpetrators and the police. It doesn't take sides and I respect that. Good sound too.
You ain't no veteran, you piece of shit.
John, you're so ignorant.
How do I know he's not a son of a bitch?
@john willow POG?
I smell Anarcho-Commie Faggots trying to say that they wanna abolish police? how fucking depressing of you.
This song is about "The North Hollywood Shootout"
He's talking about Emil Matasareanu (Romanian) & Larry Phillips (American)
my father worked for north hollywood PD he was in the shootout my father said larry phillips (main gunman) had hk 91 and and a romanian AIMS (AK 47) and emil matasareanu the second gunman had a polish underfolder and a m16 a1 with a C-mag and got gunned down by swat
No he just got gunned down by swat, sorry i was not to answer sooner ive been on vacation and im going into the marine corps and expecting a child so sorry for the delay
@Jacob Roberts Man, chill out.
You're not really obliged to reply, the fact that you did at all was great
Cool story bro
@Dallas Miles Well said Son.
one of em had the gun jam so he took out his sidearm. his hand was shot so when he went to pull back the slide after reloading with his teeth, he shot himself in the head. when the other went to retrieve the money, swat shot him down. thats how my pharmacist (who worked at the pharmacy facing the bofa at the time) explained it
Broderick's best solo in my opinion
I Love Maths Yeah, that's definitely Dave. I was talking about the one from 2:35 to 3:03
For me it was head crusher
Public Enemy
Holy shit, we have both Dave and Vic in the same comment?
Today is the anniversary of the shoot out
I want a big metal fan!! But guyz like Dave Mustaine and his new albums made me a huge fan of the band Megadeth! This is really good music!
Payday 2 music XD
