The Mechanix was a song written by Dave Mustaine. It was used on the No Life 'Till Leather demo. The lyrics pertain to Dave Mustaine's sexual experiences at a gas station.

When Mustaine was kicked out, Metallica could not use the song for the album as it essentially belonged to Mustaine, however, instead they merely changed the lyrics to write "The Four Horsemen" but still gave Mustaine some credit for the song.

Mustaine released the song with its original lyrics a year later on Megadeth's first album. However, it was not as long as The Four Horsemen, which had an added bridge into the song making it over 7 minutes long whilst The Mechanix remained around 4 and half minutes long.

The different versions of the song are as follows:
