[edit] Mustaine's Sexual Experiences?

I'm confused here. Since when did The Mechanix pertain to Dave Mustaine? I've made a change to the article saying that the lyrics refer to a horny gas station attendant. If you listen carefully, the attendant is "singing" the song and saying that the person, presumably a lady, is a "burner, yeah, a real motorcar." Another reference to sexual implications is the last stanza of the refrain:

Made my engine crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball-bearings melt from the heat

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Combat KIMB.jpg

Image:Combat KIMB.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:07, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Youtube reference

On 4 February 2008, Durova (talk ยท contribs) removed the external Youtube link that supported the statement,

Later, after leaving Metallica to form Megadeth, Mustaine would sometimes perform the song in concert, differentiating between "their way" and "our way" of playing the song.

without comment. I have added this link back. I feel it is an excellent citation; Mustaine clearly says those exact words at the beginning of the clip. Noca2plus (talk) 23:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Don't need citation

"When Mustaine was kicked out, Metallica changed the lyrics, added a small bridge section, and retitled the song "The Four Horsemen" but still gave Mustaine credit for the song, although he asked them not to use his material.[citation needed] "

In the re-release of "Killing is My Business.. and Busness is Good!", Mustaine clearly states that he did not want Metallica to use his material for their "Kill 'em All" album. Look it up in the album booklet.JackorKnave (talk) 20:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking interest in this page Jackor. It could use some TLC! I put the {{cn}} tag on that sentence to try to get someone to list, in the reference section, where that idea came from. It sounds like that person might be you! The reason a citation is needed is because verifiability is Wikipedia policy (see WP:V and WP:CITE). I only have the original release of that album, so I haven't read the liner notes you're talking about. Also, I've never cited liner notes from an album before, so I'm not exactly sure of the format. I looked through WP:CITET but didn't find a template. I'm sure you can copy the format from some other music articles. I'm going to put the {{cn}} tag back in for now. Yank it when you're done.
