NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Tennessee inmate grimaced and waved goodbye before saying "let's rock," moments before he became the first man executed in the electric chair in that state since 2007, put to death Thursday for shooting two men and slitting their throats during a drug deal decades ago.

Edmund Zagorski, 63, was pronounced dead at 7:26 p.m. Thursday at a Nashville maximum-security prison, officials said.

Asked by the prison warden if he had any last words in the death chamber, Zagorski said, "Let's rock," shortly before the execution was carried out.

Ride the lightning

Guilty as charged
But damn it, it ain't right
There is someone else controlling me
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
Who made you God to say
I'll take your life from you
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames
Wait for the sign
To flick the switch of death
It's the beginning of the end
Sweat, chilling cold
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What I am doing here?
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames
Someone help me
Oh please God help me
They are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die
Someone help me
Oh please God help me
They are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die
Time moving slowly
The minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
How true is this?
Just get it over with
If this is true, just let it be
Wakened by the horrid Scream
Freed from the frightening dream
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames

No doubt, if we're gonna have the death penalty, let' apply it while the victim's family can still remember the original crime at least. Jesus Christ, 30 years after the fact?

What I am about to say is messed up. I have always kinda wanted to see the electric chair being used on a criminal. Electricity kinda freaks me out and interest me at the same time. I have searched the liveleaks of the world but never found a video.

I'm in for 30 minutes. Kind of defeats the purpose if you wait 30 years.

No shite. Have to allow for the 618 appeals that the guilty party will file.

Zero remorse.

Should have tortured him for hours and then let him live for a few more months to heal up and asked for his last words again.

I want to say he chose the chair. But I could be mistaken.

Best Metallica album.

Creeping Death
Ride the Lightning
Whom the Bell Tolls
Trapped Under Ice
Call of Ktulu
Fade to Black
Escape

Weakest was Fight Fire with Fire

Solid fricking album.

No, I think you're right. I think there was a thread the other day on PT about him choosing it, and it being used for the first time in years.

ETA: and yes, that is fricking metal as shite.

It's probably hard to pull the switch and kill a guy that cool.
