Angry Again

"Angry Again" is a 1993 heavy metal track by Megadeth, written by frontman Dave Mustaine exclusively for the soundtrack of the action-comedy film Last Action Hero. Never released on a standard Megadeth studio album, it remains a notable deep cut that showcases the band's signature aggressive riffing and Mustaine's sharp songwriting. For electric guitarists, it offers a solid entry point into Megadeth's thrash-influenced style with focused, driving guitar work worth studying.

  • Written solely for the 1993 film Last Action Hero, 'Angry Again' was never part of a standard Megadeth studio album release.
  • Dave Mustaine wrote the track himself, making it a clear example of his solo compositional voice within Megadeth's catalog.
  • The song later appeared on Megadeth's 1995 EP Hidden Treasures, alongside other non-album cuts and soundtrack contributions.

Gibson Flying V

Dave Mustaine's current signature Flying V delivers the V-shaped body geometry essential for accessing upper frets on his complex spider-chord voicings and fast lead lines. The guitar's thin, fast neck profile and fixed bridge provide the tuning stability and articulation Megadeth's precise, aggressive riffing demands.

Marshall JCM800
Amp

Marshall JCM800

Mustaine built Megadeth's signature razor-sharp, scooped-mid tone on Marshall JCM800s, with gain around 7-8 to retain pick dynamics and articulation under heavy palm-muting. The amp's responsive tube saturation transforms hot pickups into the controlled, fast low-end aggression that defines thrash metal rhythm tones.

DigiTech Whammy

Marty Friedman used the Digitech Whammy as a lead accent tool, adding pitch-shifting texture to solos without cluttering Megadeth's minimalist effects philosophy. The pedal's harmonic richness complemented his warm, vocal-like Seymour Duncan humbucker tone during the band's classic era.

ISP Decimator Noise Gate

ISP Decimator Noise Gate

The ISP Decimator is essential for Mustaine's high-gain thrash setup, eliminating feedback and noise between palm-muted riffs without compromising sustain. This noise gate allows him to push the Marshall into aggressive saturation while maintaining the tight, articulate attack Megadeth's complex rhythms require.
