Songfacts®:

  • Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine wrote this song with bass player Dave Ellefson and guitarist Chris Broderick. In our interview with Ellefson, he explained, "'Beginning of Sorrow'" was this thought that it's these different lifestyles and different decisions that are made when we're young that set forth a life that will ultimately bring unhappiness and brokenness. And that song was laying out a number of different scenarios that were speaking about this decision that is the beginning of a future sorrow."
