"Moto Psycho" was the first single Megadeth pulled from The World Needs a Hero, their ninth studio album, arriving in 2001, and it turns the band's attention to something anybody with a job can recognize: the daily commute. Dave Mustaine wrote it, words and music, about people who burn hours of their lives on the road just getting to work and back.
Mustaine produced it too, with Bill Kennedy co-producing, recording and mixing, and Nathan Cox directed the video that went with it. Oddly, as of November 2022 the band still hadn't posted that clip on its own YouTube channel; a fan did the job instead. Megadeth have played the song live 67 times.
