No Picture Armin Average	#1 by Armin at Jul 30, 1976 at 6:48 PM EST
	its on the same track as and is a prelude to black friday, I see it as like you are being possed by the devil and then it goes into black fridsay and he is killing everybody

No Picture Simon (Si) Lead Player	#2 by Simon (Si) Brown at Feb 9, 1986 at 9:50 PM EST
	Enjoyment of this song is quite dependent on your mood, but it's a hard, clear proof of Mustaine's talent AND genius...

No Picture Freddy Badass	#3 by Freddy Timmons at Mar 26, 2003 at 2:51 AM EST
	Metal Up Ya Ass Jay hits it right on the nose. Good Mourning is defenitly about a guy being overcome by an evil demon as he is waking up.

No Picture Jon Lead Player	#4 by Jon Zell at Oct 2, 2007 at 2:05 PM EST
	...well...ive always loved fridays...and one day...i knew was a bad friday...or a "black" friday...and then when i sent to school i got suspended for my friends shooting bb's at people...it probley has nothing to do with daves idea of the song but...hey this is my comment

No Picture Nick Average	#5 by Nick Vanderstelt at Oct 3, 2007 at 6:20 PM EST
	About killing in some crazy form or another, But hell this is an awsome song that is on the same track as good mourning.

No Picture gosh, frickin i Wanna Be	#6 by gosh, frickin idiot! at Oct 16, 2007 at 2:35 PM EST
	I'm sure that it's about a general massacre which was happened on a friday in Tehran_The capital of Iran_at the time of the previous regime. No need to say that this song ROCKS!

No Picture dan Average	#7 by dan evans at Oct 16, 2007 at 3:20 PM EST
	No it isn't. It's about a Satanist hoiliday called Balck Friday (Read it in a Megadeth site) where satanist go out on this friday and Kill someone to prove themselfs pure to Satan
