"99 Ways to Die" is a song by the American thrash metal band Megadeth. The song was recorded for the soundtrack to The Beavis and Butt-head Experience, and was released as a single and a music video. The song was nominated in the "Best Metal Performance" category at the 1995 Grammy Awards.
Background
"99 Ways to Die", is about band frontman Dave Mustaine's ex-fiancée, Diana.
The song has rarely been performed live by Megadeth, with it only appearing live a handful of times in 1995. Mustaine played the song for the first time in over 20 years at the "Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp" in Deerfield Beach, Florida, in January, 2022. The song was performed with some campers as well as Brittany Denaro (AKA Britt Lightning), guitarist for the band Vixen.
Critical reception
The "Hidden Treasures" EP received generally mediocre reviews from critics, with "99 Ways to Die" being one of the only songs received well. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the EP does not have many "first-rate songs" and that only "99 Ways to Die" made an impression. The Rolling Stone Album Guide was dismissive of the EP; the staff reviewer commented that the album is worth hearing only for "99 Ways to Die".
