Synopsis

Megadeth perform their hard-edged cover of Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" amid smoke, electrical effects, and imagery drawn from the horror film Shocker. Dave Mustaine sings and plays guitar in a stark, industrial setting before appearing in an electric chair, while footage from the movie supplies the supernatural menace. A young man rebelling against his parents adds a separate narrative thread, giving the clip the feel of a compact horror-movie tie-in rather than a conventional performance video.

Factoids & Trivia

  • Megadeth recorded the song for the soundtrack to Wes Craven's 1989 horror film Shocker. The video uses footage from the movie throughout.
  • The track is a cover of Alice Cooper's 1973 song, written by Cooper and Michael Bruce.
  • The video was released in 1990 and runs for approximately three minutes.
  • Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, and Nick Menza are credited on Megadeth's recording. The song was produced by Desmond Child, with Mustaine receiving a co-production credit.
  • The recording later appeared on Megadeth's 1995 compilation Hidden Treasures, which collected soundtrack contributions, B-sides, and other non-album material.

Lyrics

I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm gettin' shot down
And I'm feeling mean

No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean
No more Mister nice guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene
