Trust (Megadeth song)


"Trust" is a song by American heavy metal band Megadeth from their seventh studio album, Cryptic Writings. It was released on May 8, 1997 in both English and Spanish language versions. The song, which tells the story of relationships that have failed due to mutual dishonesty, had significant airplay and MTV rotation and reached #5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It is Megadeth's most successful single to date, followed by "Breadline" and "Crush 'Em" from their follow-up album Risk, both of which reached #6 in the same charts. "Trust" was later included on the three compilation albums, ', ' and ', as well as the box set Warchest. The song was nominated for a 1998 Grammy award for Best Metal Performance.
A Spanish version of the song was used as a bonus track on the Latin American edition of Cryptic Writings and later on the international remaster of the album. However, only the chorus is in Spanish. The song is otherwise identical to its album counterpart in verse. Dave Mustaine would record a Spanish version of The World Needs a Hero song "Promises" a few years later, which also appeared on the Latin American version of its parent album.
An instrumental version was released for Extreme Championship Wrestling performer Jerry Lynn and was later issued on ' compilation.
The drum intro of the song is currently played right before kickoffs during each home game played by the Arizona State Sun Devils. This same intro is very similar to the Pittsburgh Penguins' entrance theme and is featured in the film The Boys of Winter.
