"My Last Words" is a song by American thrash metal band Megadeth from their 1986 album Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?, written by Dave Mustaine.
[1][2] Despite being one of the lesser known tracks on the record, music journalist Martin Popoff said that the song was an example of the band's "fast thrashers" and an evidence why Megadeth were dubbed as the "fearless speed progenitors".
The song was a setlist staple through the eighties, having been played at many shows, including their first (where it appeared under the title "Next Victim").
[5] After Nick Menza and Marty Friedman joined the band, however, it was mostly dropped from setlists.
In 2010, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich requested that the band played the song at a concert at the Cow Palace on August 31, 2010.
