Vic Rattlehead is the mascot of the American thrash metal band Megadeth. Vic is a skeletal figure who embodies the phrase "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." His eyes are covered by a riveted-on visor, his mouth is clamped shut, and his ears are closed with metal caps. ==Concept and creation== The mythic creation of Vic Rattlehead is addressed in the song "Skull Beneath the Skin" from the album ''Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!'' ::''Prepare the patient's scalp To peel away Metal caps his ears He'll hear not what we say Solid steel visor Riveted across his eyes Iron staples close his jaws So no one hears his cries'' Dave Mustaine sketched the original drawing of Vic for the album's front cover. However, Combat Records lost the artwork and improvised a completely different artwork. The original artwork was supposed to be recovered and placed on the reissue of ''Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!''. However, this never came to pass. The name of Vic stands for "victim" and Rattlehead comes from what Mustaine's mother used to say to him when he was headbanging: "Don't do that or you'll rattle something up in there!" This then led to the expression "to rattle one's head" meaning head-bang. According to Mustaine, the mascot represents his feelings about religious repression and freedom of expression. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vic Rattlehead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
