Famous Heavy Metal songs on gambling
‘Train Of Consequences’ by Megadeth tackled the effects of gambling eye-to-eye by depicting how gambling affects the individuals and the world in general. The song’s subject was a welcome change from the typical exultation of vices seen earlier.
‘The Angel And The Gambler’ by Iron Maiden is a song that addresses a young addicted gambler who is looking to break free from his gambling habit but can’t do so as he is always dragged back to it.
‘Smoke On The Water’ by Deep Purple, though not inspired by gambling per se, was in response to a Frank Zappa concert which took place at a casino that burned to the ground. The song’s title is a tribute to what the band saw as the casino burned.
‘The Jack’ by AC/DC turned out to be a song that was directly inspired by gambling, more specifically by a card game where a girl wins with a jack every single time. ‘Ace Of Spades’ by Motörhead is probably the best-known Heavy Metal song about gambling ever, and talks about a man’s passion for gambling and how the risks of gambling make it appealing to him.
