I know everybody and their fucking mother is posting links to YouTube, but hey...I was just thinking about one of the greatest metal videos of all time: Megadeth's cover of Anarchy in the UK.
My favorite part: The bullet ripping the kitten in half. And the fact that "Anti-Christ" gets bleeped.
That is a great one (and musically FAR superior to the original), even though Mustaine clearly misheard a number of Rotten's lyrics.

Actually all of the Megadeth videos during that period were pretty great.
Peace Sells (Dad:"Turn this crap off. I wanna watch the news." Metalkid: "This IS the news.")
Wake Up Dead (Somehow a folding chair ends up in the mosh pit. And that can't end well).
And so on. Ah, memories.
Well...having gone through the Sex Pistols period before moving on to more interesting, engaging punkrock, I'd agree, though I'll always have a soft spot for the song No Feelings.
