Megadeth's "Anarchy in the UK" takes the Sex Pistols' 1976 debut single, the song Paul Cook, Steve Jones, John Lydon and Glen Matlock wrote, and hauls it onto So Far, So Good… So What! in 1988. The real coup is in the credits: Jones himself turns up on additional guitar, alongside Dave Mustaine and Jeff Young, while David Ellefson plays bass and Chuck Behler drums.
Mustaine takes the lead vocal and produced the track with Paul Lani, who also engineered it, and Michael Wagener mixed it.
