Angry Again


"Angry Again" is a 1993 heavy metal track by Megadeth, written by frontman Dave Mustaine exclusively for the soundtrack of the Arnold Schwarzenegger film Last Action Hero. Never released on a Megadeth studio album, it first appeared on the 1995 EP Hidden Treasures before surfacing on various compilations. For electric guitarists, it offers a focused look at Mustaine's aggressive riff-writing style in a standalone context, free from the arc of any full album.

  • Dave Mustaine wrote 'Angry Again' specifically for a film soundtrack, making it one of Megadeth's few purpose-built non-album tracks.
  • The song never appeared on a Megadeth studio album, it was officially collected on the 1995 EP Hidden Treasures.
  • Learning this track gives guitarists a direct look at Mustaine's riff style isolated from a full album's production context.
Gibson Flying V
Guitar

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.
