@@markzuck8486 The correct answer is Dave's solo!! The solo they are referring to is the one DAVE PLAYED. What? You think Marty played every solo in Megadeth while he was a member? News for you. He didn't. Point and laugh at this guy.
Rust in Peace, the whole album is awesome. One of my all time favs. That album inspired me to practice guitar like 6 hours a day when it came out, on top of playing in a band. Marty is pretty bad ass. And yeah, they're American. One of the "big four" of American thrash metal with Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer. They basically help put thrash on the map. Edit: BTW, Dave Mustaine (singer, sole consistent member) is still to this day putting out Megadeth albums.
Welcome to one of the deepest rabbit holes! It was an epic reaction. Do studio version of "Tornado of Souls", or "Hangar 18" from the same album - Rust in Peace. A unique experience is guaranteed.
Fun Fact: Megadeth's lead singer (Dave Mustaine) was Metallica's original lead guitarist, but they fired him due to substance abuse just before they recorded their first album and replaced him with Kirk Hammett, Mustaine actually wrote all of Kirk's guitar parts on Metallica's first album Kill Em All. For about 20 years there was nothing but spite and rivalry between the two bands, but they eventually made up and have performed together in the past
Not all the guitar parts on kill em all were written by Dave just a few songs and some key elements of the solos were taken like the start of the last four horseman solo for example
@@boki1693 he was a drugged up menace and poured beer all over Ron McGovney and his bass and broke the bass and it electrocuted him and that was like the final straw
@@Aymungoos, all the solos were Dave's, as well as a great deal of the riffs. He has royalties. Even for songs on their second album. Dave claims more, and I believe him.
Marty's playing kills me (the second guitar player that did the acoustic-sounding part and the slower solos). Nobody I've ever seen plays guitar like that with the way he picks with his right hand. Absolutely brilliant guitar player.
Holy Wars…The Punishment Due is widely regarded as one of the best Metal songs of all time. Megadeth’s music has an attitude or edge to it directly coming from Dave Mustaine. When he got kicked out of metallica just before metallica recorded their first album Dave Mustaine was determined to be the best and he’s had a chip on his shoulder for getting kicked out of metallica for quite a while, I love it cause it comes thru in the music his attitude and aggression…
@@da9pauly Its not like megadeth kept doing stuff as memorable after 95 either, the only difference with metalica is that megadeth never went off their thrash roots as much as metallica did, but their music became higly generic in comparison with their early efforts, i dont understand why people think Megadeth or Metallica is better, Eah band has its strong points and flaws balanced, Megadeth has terrible vocals, Metallica not, Metallica doesnt have as good leads as Megadeth etc.. if im honest Metallica has always been more memorable in their songwritting with the pass of time, something i havent noticed in Megadeth after Youthanasia 🤷♂
Dave was just built different. Love your reaction to his solo. Ita not just arpeggios in a random place. It's musical quality that works with the rest of the music perfectlyrics. You'll never forget holy wars.
Glad you liked it. And glad you had the lyric video. Megadeth songs have riffs for days. Start with almost anything on Peace Sells or Rust In Peace. My choices to start would be Wake Up Dead The Conjuring Devils Island Black Friday My Last Words Hanger 18 Tornado Of Souls Take No Prisoners Polaris
Megadeth & Metallica both are and will always be two of the greatest bands ever in heavy metal music history. Both bands produced greatest heavy metal songs in their own unique different ways or perspectives.
This is essentially a song in two parts: the first part is a commentary on religion and war, the second is a fictional first person narrative from the POV of Marvel’s “Punisher” character. Very random blend of ideas, but somehow it works incredibly well.
@@jasonmachula1472 I've never heard of the punisher thing but Mustaine has definitively said this song was written a day after he unwittingly started a riot at one of their concerts in Ireland by saying "give Ireland back to the Irish" on the mic... Not a great idea at the time amidst the Troubles.
You definitely picked the meaning of the song correctly. The first half of the song was written about the conflict with Ireland (Irish Republican Army) and Great Britain; although like all songs, it can be interpreted to match many other meanings. The second half, "The Punishment Due", is about the Punisher comic book series.
The lead singer was the guitarist for Metallica when they recorded their first album - but couldn't stay off the sauce long enough to show up to a band meeting or important appointment on time and sober. So they replaced him with Kirk Hammett.
After listening to a lot of material from both Megadeth and Metallica, I don't think it's fair to say that one band is better than the other. Both Megadeth and Metallica have their own styles. Your reaction to the guitar solo from Dave Mustaine had me laughing my head off. The album that this song is from "Rust In Peace" is the debut of what became known as the classic lineup of Megadeth involving the late Nick Menza on drums and Marty Friedman on lead guitar which lasted from 1990 until 1999. Megadeth just celebrated it's 35th anniversary back in 2018. Megadeth is an American metal band that started in 1983 after Dave Mustaine got kicked out of Metallica and is one of the "Big Four" of American thrash metal with Anthrax, Metallica, and Slayer.
Rust In Peace was my first Megadeth album. Songs like 'Holy Wars' holds more meaning to me now that I'm an Army Combat Veteran (OIF-'03). 'We'll Be Back' on their new album is the best one yet. Its max level warrior and rocks harder than ever!
The albums "Rust in Peace", "Countdown to Extinction", and "Youthanasia" was where they were the most dynamic in terms of musicality thanks to the addition of Marty Friedman. Give Tornado of Souls a listen. It has one of the greatest guitar solos of all time
I'd say that you processed it just fine. That whole album is great, but for me, hands down, Tornado Of Souls is one of the most insane speed guitar riffs of all time.
Dave and Marty both masters of the guitar... check out Hangar 18... dualing solos going back and forth for like 3 or 4 minutes... also like Metallica's Unforgiven, it has a a second part, so check out both Hangar 18 and Return to Hangar
Rust in Piece is one of the greatest Thrash albums of all time in its entirety. There are not just some great songs, the whole thing is amazing. After this song ended Hanger 18 started playing in my head automatically. hahahahaa \00/
Yes, the first portion of the lyrics were inspired by the situation in Northern Ireland ( up until the Middle Eastern sounding solo). Megadeth were playing a concert and someone was selling bootleg t shirts. When confronted, the vendor said it was for " The Cause ", which is the Irish Republican Army. Dave drunkenly introduced a song during the show by saying " This is for the cause" which sparked a riot, and the band had to be evacuated from the country in a bullet proof bus. The second part was inspired by The Punisher.
Honey, you definitely started with the right song! This is some of Megadeth's finest work, no question! Actually, pretty much the entire album this song comes from (Rust In Piece) is arguably one of the greatest metal albums of all time, so you really can't go wrong with any of it! I'd suggest checking out Hangar 18 for your next selection off of this album. It's another BANGER with a really cool video too! One last thing, Megadeth just released their latest album just a couple of months ago and it's awesome as well! Maybe create some cool videos that kinda compare their styles then and now, I dunno, just a seggestion. Oh and the new album is called The Sick, The Dying and...The Dead. ANOTHER badass album from one of the very best!!
🔥Hangar 18 next please. It has 11 solos. You’ll love it.Whole album is considered one of the best metal albums ever by many. Cant go wrong with anything they’ve done really.
Should be the original version (not the remastered one) ua-cam.com/video/hjuH5LACV9I/v-deo.html&ab_channel=LetThereBeRock31 Or the long video version ua-cam.com/video/65q33-eur7k/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MayhemREC
i heard Dave say before playing this in concert once talk about the inspiration of this song. They were playing in Ireland where he learned of the religious tensions between catholic and protestant of Northern Ireland and IRA.
well James and Lars founded it and had auditions where they found Dave and a couple bassists before finally getting cliff... but yeah. It bothered Dave for years, they're all finally getting along though
@@GL.Sorrell he is not a founding member. That is just false. He was not even their first guitar player. He was the 5th or person to join the band. Founding members are people who are there when the group is “founded” which is in the name founding member, The band was founded by James and Lars. Not even Ron was a founding member.
I love your reaction. I reacted just about the same way when I heard it for the first time on MTV in the early 90's. I was at the store the next day to buy the album. I played guitar at the time (still do). I got the sheet music for this song. I wasn't a great guitarist, but I was a bit of okay. But the sheet music looked like it was a misprint. I couldn't even comprehend how they made it sound like that even though I saw every note on the sheet. It was way above my pay grade. Next level stuff. I can play some of their stuff now, but honestly I would rather just listen to them play it. :) I saw them live on the Dystopia tour in 2016. They closed the concert with this song. After an entire set of brutal metal. And they crushed it. That solo was just as good live as you just heard in the video. Subscribed!
Loved your reaction ! Yes ! I used to listen to Metallica for years until I discovered Megadeth. I slowly started to listen more and more of Megadeth and I came to the conclusion that I love Megadeth music way more ! It’s the technicality and catchy harmony of their songs. Not that Metallica doesn’t have them. But Megadeth has more of that complexity behind the music. Now my favorite band is Megadeth. Check out any song on the Rust in Peace album ! ( which is in my opinion the best thrash album of all time ) The solos !! Check out those Megadeth solos ! Metallica is not even close to them ! Megadeth is just amazing
Truthfully, I'm so sick of the Metallica/Megadeth feud stories, but I know you're just learning. My take from it all is that I am SO glad things turned out as they did because we still have Metallica, but would have never even known of Megadeth. I love them both, but if one wants heavier shit, it's a no contest going to Megadeth. Countdown to Extinction is a great song and video. Thanks for listening and thanks for reacting.
the leader of megadeth (dave mustaine) was metallica lead guitar player on the early days, but he was kicked out of the band and created megadeth as his revenge project
@@mikeortiz9664 Well in any case it's a question of taste cause for me, Megadeth drives way harder than Metallica. Just listen to Holy War or Hangar 18, these song drives so fast.
Megadeth better technical band stuck the course with what they wanted to make not what commercially would be successful. Metallica bigger commercial success and changing their sound for what’s popular at the time then in later years closer to now they are back closer to a thrash metal band still with hard rock elements. Like both bands and the history between them is so interesting.
I was at the concert that inspired this song....the Antrim forum in Northern Ireland where dave got up on stage shouted this one is for the cause ( IRA) give Ireland back to the Irish which started a riot and the band had to be escorted to the free state with a police escort
I can’t agree more! While i love Tornado of souls solo from Marty( it’s brilliant) I just LOVE Dave’s solo on this.. it’s just a “banger” .. nowhere near enough credit is given to him for it.
This is how a listening to Megadeth for the first time goes. The really insane part: this is just song number 1 off that album. It gets even crazier from here.
Aahhh, the great Megadeth/Metallica debate, both are great bands, but I'm going with Megadeth because of how Dave, Chris and Marty play where you can hear every chord and how Gar and Nick really played the drums so well it makes you fell like you can play them the same way, even though 90% of us couldn't hold a candle to any of these guys.
Love seeing the younger generation start listening to the music I grew up with. And the music that made me follow my passion. I was blessed to be good enough to be a studio musician. I have blessed enough to play with some of the biggest metal bands in the world.
This solo by Dave Mustane(ex-Metallica pre Kirk Hammet) is awesome but Tornado of souls off this same album is another legendary solo especially among guitarists. That one is played by their second guitarist Marty Friedman.
32 years ago, I bought this album on cassette tape at Turtles Music. I unwrapped the cassette, put it in my car's FM/AM Cassette radio and started down a journey I could not have imagined at the time. I probably had that same look you, Lilly Jane, had during that last solo. Megadeth was not the first Thrash Metal band I listened too, that would be Anthrax "Among the Living", but the musicianship simply blew me away. I have been hooked on Megadeth ever since. This entire album, "Rust in Peace" is killer. Not a bad song on the album. "Peace Sells..." is my favorite Megadeth album. Not as technically good as "RiP" but more raw, just beating out both "RiP" and "Killing is My Business..." which is 35 minutes of pure manic. For deep cuts, and there really aren't any on this album, listen to "Poison is the Cure" or "Take No Prisoner." The other songs are plays more often, which everyone love.
The sick the dying and the dead is really good but if you want more like the one you watched there’s Hangar 18 (might be hanger I'm British and we spell words differently sometimes… because we can I guess) and if you just want crazy megadeth then you might wish to visit five magics… but then there’s so much to choose from both earlier and later. It’s a literal musical goldmine you’ve landed on here. Im biased as a fan but seriously.. . A lot of this you’re going to want to hear!
This song was written after Dave accidently started a massive fight in Northern Ireland during the "troubles" (essentially a civil war between protestants and catholics in the area, lots of people died) and had to finish the tour in an armored vehicle.
The game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock included this and 2 other songs that was a part of the game's Campaign or Quest mode as it was called in game, once you get to the final battle of the game, you play the 3 Megadeth songs that include in order; Holy Wars (1990), This Day We Fight! (2009) And the third and final song which is Dave's most difficult song that he had ever written prior to the setting and release of the game, he wrote Sudden Death (2010). I'd definitely listen to those 2 if you haven't already.
While in Ireland in the mid 80s. Dave Fucked up and said something about the religions. this caused a huge riot and the band had to be escorted out of Ireland in armored vehicles. when Dave realized what he had done, he wrote Holy Wars.
The cool bit: the singer is also a bloody incredible lead guitarist. In this song, the first two solos were played by their ‘primary’ lead guitarist at the time, an absolute genius called Marty Friedman; the last solo was played by the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Dave Mustaine. Dave Mustaine was, back in 1982 and early ‘83, the original lead guitarist for Metallica. They put em out on his arse because he was a mean drunk and also did more or less every other drug he could get his hands on, which led to serious friction. His ‘revenge’ for being sacked from Metallica? Start a band that is heavier, faster, and is-in general-comprised of more virtuosic musicians. Megadeth tended-in the early days-to be the darker and more nihilistic of the two bands. Just like Metallica, however, their songs (all of whose lyrics were written by Mustaine), began to mellow out a little when Mustaine got sober (after, I believe, his 13th stint in rehab) and found religion. He is STILL, however, a mad wicked guitar player and songwriter. He didn’t suddenly become a gospel singer or something; he’s just eased up on the whole ‘life is empty and meaningless; I stay alive out of spite’ thing. This song came off their finest record, Rust In Peace. This was probably their best lineup. (The only original member still in Megadeth is Dave; he gives the impression of being difficult to work with.) Other songs I would recommend (This includes some deep cuts that’ll set you apart from the casual reactors, and bring you some subscribers that are more than just part-time fans): Lucretia The Conjuring Wake Up Dead In My Darkest Hour Tornado Of Souls Hangar 18 (watch the live version from the ‘Rude Awakening’ live album to watch Dave and his lead guitarist trade riffs) She-Wolf (also from the ‘Rude Awakening’, also featuring a wicked extended guitar solo and a drum solo) Ashes In Your Mouth My Last Words I Thought I Knew It All A Tout Le Monde (Good Mourning) Black Friday P.S. I strongly recommend that, when searching for these songs, you include the search term ‘original version’, because they’ve remixed and remastered all their albums about 12 times, and the ‘improved’ versions all sound shite. P.P.S.: Love your reactions; you’ve got a lot of energy and a lot of attitude-the kind of personality that used to make for a fucking wicked rocker, back in the 90s before rock and metal became purely the purview of lone guitarists slaving away in their basement with a rack full of gear and Pro Tools, playing all the instruments themselves to record songs that maybe a couple hundred folks will hear-if they’re lucky. You would’ve loved it back when, instead, we all had bands, and if we didn’t have a venue to play, we’d play at high school or University parties, or we’d just put on a bonfire concert in the middle of a field at night, running our gear off a generator. Anyroad, hope this helps. Cheers…and keep digging for great music!
Oh hell yeah another great reaction you rock man you are in the Cincy area I grew up on Megadeth they have some really good music I hope you react to more I'm sure you will but have a great one I'm glad I come across your Channel💯💚🤟🏽🤟🏽
This song was supposedly wrote after a concert in Ireland where Mustaine almost accidentally incited a religious riot after which megadeth was escorted either out of that region or out of Ireland in an armored bus
I bought this when I was a little kid and they had an organization called the P.M.R.C, parents music research center and all music was monitored by them and it was a good thing I had a cool mom because you had to be over 18 to buy this, thanks mom!!! This was a bad ass video!

Greetings from Argentina 🖐️
All our bigger metal acts are HUGE over seas, to this day. Megadeth very well could have inspired many bands from Europe, Asia, where ever, but specifically South America. South American audiences are insane!
I cannot decide which is more legendary...Dave's solo or your reaction to Dave's solo.
The correct answer is Marty's solos lol
Definitely Dave’s solo ,hands down …she’s a close second though 😂

Yes, and Peace Sells are my two fav Megadeth albums
Dave also wrote Metallica's first album. I like to say the best thing that came outta Metallica was Megadeth, agree to disagree.
@@khzhak Considering MegaDave is the only existing member, I think it's fair to say where the problem lies.
@@JaggedDagger to be fair, while he did fire a lot of past members, a lot also left on their own.
I still think it's freaking weird that people make videos of them watching videos.
Welcome to one of the deepest rabbit holes! It was an epic reaction.
Do studio version of "Tornado of Souls", or "Hangar 18" from the same album - Rust in Peace.
A unique experience is guaranteed.
Tornado of Souls is required listen for any metal head, especially when exploring Megadeth
Yup. This whole album is a musical metal masterpiece!! My fav from Megadeth.

Marty's playing kills me (the second guitar player that did the acoustic-sounding part and the slower solos). Nobody I've ever seen plays guitar like that with the way he picks with his right hand. Absolutely brilliant guitar player.

Please, please, please, react to Five Magics by Megadeth! Such an amazing beautiful song, full of amazing solos, amazing riffs and amazing lyrics.

I'm glad you're having fun on this metal ride, rock on.
The song "We’ll Be Back: Chapter I" off of their latest album shows that after all these years Megadeth still rock hard. 🤘
such a great son🔥🔥🔥🔥g..

One of the Most PERFECT Albums Ever Made, in any Genre...
This is essentially a song in two parts: the first part is a commentary on religion and war, the second is a fictional first person narrative from the POV of Marvel’s “Punisher” character.
Very random blend of ideas, but somehow it works incredibly well.
Where did you get the info about the Punisher bit?
@@jasonmachula1472 I've never heard of the punisher thing but Mustaine has definitively said this song was written a day after he unwittingly started a riot at one of their concerts in Ireland by saying "give Ireland back to the Irish" on the mic... Not a great idea at the time amidst the Troubles.

Wow....Loved your reaction to this song! So many more great Megadeth songs to be had!
This band is amazing live and absolutely loved hearing this song as well
hangar 18
The threat is real
we'll be back
and as others have mentioned Megadeth is an American band founded by Dave Mustaine who was in Metallica
The lead singer was the guitarist for Metallica when they recorded their first album - but couldn't stay off the sauce long enough to show up to a band meeting or important appointment on time and sober. So they replaced him with Kirk Hammett.
For me this is Megadeth at their PEAK. The intensity, the vibe, the creativity, the composition. Belongs on any Top Metal songs of all time list.
100%. I love the early stuff, but the Rust era is godly.
The lead singer Dave Mustaine was the guitarist in Metallica in 1981. He was kicked from Metallica.
Dave was instrumental in the kill them all and ride the lightning albums.

RUST IN PEACE is my favorite thrash metal album of all time... Take no Prisoners is a good one.. every track is good.
Other mind bending solos: Disposable Heroes-Metallica and New World Order-Testament
Just got the notification while listening to Megadeth haha...plz react to some more of their songs!
Yeah, you should react "we'll be back" from their last album.
Rust In Peace was my first Megadeth album. Songs like 'Holy Wars' holds more meaning to me now that I'm an Army Combat Veteran (OIF-'03). 'We'll Be Back' on their new album is the best one yet. Its max level warrior and rocks harder than ever!

i heard Dave say before playing this in concert once talk about the inspiration of this song. They were playing in Ireland where he learned of the religious tensions between catholic and protestant of Northern Ireland and IRA.
The singer Dave Mustaine was a founder of Metallica until they fired him for being drunk 24/7, LMAO !!!!!
well James and Lars founded it and had auditions where they found Dave and a couple bassists before finally getting cliff... but yeah. It bothered Dave for years, they're all finally getting along though
Not true at all lol. He was not a founder. Lars and James were the founders. They fired him for fighting, drinking and Also hard drugs.
Mustaine was one of the first songwriters, that counts as a founding member.
@@GL.Sorrell he is not a founding member. That is just false. He was not even their first guitar player. He was the 5th or person to join the band. Founding members are people who are there when the group is “founded” which is in the name founding member,
The band was founded by James and Lars. Not even Ron was a founding member.
@@MetalMilitia83 Grant only jammed with them lol. Founding member isn't a more important title than songwriter anyway.
I love your reaction. I reacted just about the same way when I heard it for the first time on MTV in the early 90's. I was at the store the next day to buy the album. I played guitar at the time (still do). I got the sheet music for this song. I wasn't a great guitarist, but I was a bit of okay. But the sheet music looked like it was a misprint. I couldn't even comprehend how they made it sound like that even though I saw every note on the sheet. It was way above my pay grade. Next level stuff. I can play some of their stuff now, but honestly I would rather just listen to them play it. :) I saw them live on the Dystopia tour in 2016. They closed the concert with this song. After an entire set of brutal metal. And they crushed it. That solo was just as good live as you just heard in the video. Subscribed!
Loved your reaction ! Yes ! I used to listen to Metallica for years until I discovered Megadeth. I slowly started to listen more and more of Megadeth and I came to the conclusion that I love Megadeth music way more ! It’s the technicality and catchy harmony of their songs. Not that Metallica doesn’t have them. But Megadeth has more of that complexity behind the music. Now my favorite band is Megadeth. Check out any song on the Rust in Peace album ! ( which is in my opinion the best thrash album of all time ) The solos !! Check out those Megadeth solos ! Metallica is not even close to them ! Megadeth is just amazing
dave was a founding member of metallica he appears in the credits of kill em all and in 2 songs of the ride of lightning
Dave is a legend. He is the founder of Metallica and Megadeth.
Tornado of souls...
Nuff said...
He's not metallica's founder. He was introduced to Lars and James after they'd already decided to create the band
Dave was not a founding member of Metallica
Lars named band METALLICA not Dave
"United we stand, divided we fall" was stated in Hey You lyrics, written by Pink Floyd, by the way.
Truthfully, I'm so sick of the Metallica/Megadeth feud stories, but I know you're just learning. My take from it all is that I am SO glad things turned out as they did because we still have Metallica, but would have never even known of Megadeth. I love them both, but if one wants heavier shit, it's a no contest going to Megadeth.
Countdown to Extinction is a great song and video.
Thanks for listening and thanks for reacting.
the leader of megadeth (dave mustaine) was metallica lead guitar player on the early days, but he was kicked out of the band and created megadeth as his revenge project
From a technical stand point, Megadeth IS way better than Metallica for sure.
But when it comes to power and drive i would say Metallica is better
@@mikeortiz9664 Well in any case it's a question of taste cause for me, Megadeth drives way harder than Metallica. Just listen to Holy War or Hangar 18, these song drives so fast.
@@jdpc9391 Megadeth did speed and thrash better, Metallica were better at changing their sound and performing live, especially in live shows now
Megadeth better technical band stuck the course with what they wanted to make not what commercially would be successful. Metallica bigger commercial success and changing their sound for what’s popular at the time then in later years closer to now they are back closer to a thrash metal band still with hard rock elements. Like both bands and the history between them is so interesting.
Megadeth is cool
But
Metallica is better
That takes me back, reminds me of how much I love that song
MEGADETH and METALLICA, the two best of the big 4, hands down. Can't go wrong with either.
I was at the concert that inspired this song....the Antrim forum in Northern Ireland where dave got up on stage shouted this one is for the cause ( IRA) give Ireland back to the Irish which started a riot and the band had to be escorted to the free state with a police escort
This song is fantastic ! Dave's solo is awesome ! This album is the best album of all times 🤗🤘
I can’t agree more! While i love Tornado of souls solo from Marty( it’s brilliant) I just LOVE Dave’s solo on this.. it’s just a “banger” .. nowhere near enough credit is given to him for it.
This is the best metal album ever. Hands down.
Dave Mustaine... was in original Metallica... Wrote most of their first 2 albums..:)
No he didn't, he wrote less than half of their first album and 2 riffs on their second.
So James wrote most of both those albums
This is how a listening to Megadeth for the first time goes. The really insane part: this is just song number 1 off that album. It gets even crazier from here.
Fun fact. 40 years later, still dropping awesome albums.
Megadeth has at least 4 stinker albums and Metallica has one stinker album
@@diltberg9627 everything after the Black Album blows goats.
@@JD-bc2rx yea metallica is good but I like megadeth more
Aahhh, the great Megadeth/Metallica debate, both are great bands, but I'm going with Megadeth because of how Dave, Chris and Marty play where you can hear every chord and how Gar and Nick really played the drums so well it makes you fell like you can play them the same way, even though 90% of us couldn't hold a candle to any of these guys.
I like how the "most replayed" section on the video is her reaction to Dave's guitar solo.
MEGADETH > METALLICA
thats getting old we all know a lot like both bands
MEGALLICA >>> MEGADETH AND METALLICA
Love seeing the younger generation start listening to the music I grew up with. And the music that made me follow my passion. I was blessed to be good enough to be a studio musician. I have blessed enough to play with some of the biggest metal bands in the world.
Lucretia, Polaris, Five Magics...really the whole album is a masterpiece.
Always great to see a genuine, excited reaction to old skool Megadeth.
This entire album was a masterpiece !
This solo by Dave Mustane(ex-Metallica pre Kirk Hammet) is awesome but Tornado of souls off this same album is another legendary solo especially among guitarists. That one is played by their second guitarist Marty Friedman.
Ayyy this is a great song! Brb to watch this reaction though got some other LJ content to attend to! ;D
32 years ago, I bought this album on cassette tape at Turtles Music. I unwrapped the cassette, put it in my car's FM/AM Cassette radio and started down a journey I could not have imagined at the time. I probably had that same look you, Lilly Jane, had during that last solo. Megadeth was not the first Thrash Metal band I listened too, that would be Anthrax "Among the Living", but the musicianship simply blew me away. I have been hooked on Megadeth ever since. This entire album, "Rust in Peace" is killer. Not a bad song on the album. "Peace Sells..." is my favorite Megadeth album. Not as technically good as "RiP" but more raw, just beating out both "RiP" and "Killing is My Business..." which is 35 minutes of pure manic.
For deep cuts, and there really aren't any on this album, listen to "Poison is the Cure" or "Take No Prisoner." The other songs are plays more often, which everyone love.
First part of the song is about the religious conflict in Ireland from back then the second part of the song is about the The Punisher comic book.
The sick the dying and the dead is really good but if you want more like the one you watched there’s Hangar 18 (might be hanger I'm British and we spell words differently sometimes… because we can I guess) and if you just want crazy megadeth then you might wish to visit five magics… but then there’s so much to choose from both earlier and later. It’s a literal musical goldmine you’ve landed on here. Im biased as a fan but seriously.. . A lot of this you’re going to want to hear!
It’s so fun to watch reactions of this song.
Megadeth YES!!!! You won’t be disappointed going through this journey! One of my top 5 metal/thrash bands ever! I said EVER!!!!!!!! 🤘🏽😆☝🏽
This reaction video was well worth the watch.. Thank you.
This song was written after Dave accidently started a massive fight in Northern Ireland during the "troubles" (essentially a civil war between protestants and catholics in the area, lots of people died) and had to finish the tour in an armored vehicle.
Rust in Peace was their fourth studio album try Peace Sells and Wake up Dead from Peace Sells Megadeth's second album!
The game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock included this and 2 other songs that was a part of the game's Campaign or Quest mode as it was called in game, once you get to the final battle of the game, you play the 3 Megadeth songs that include in order; Holy Wars (1990), This Day We Fight! (2009) And the third and final song which is Dave's most difficult song that he had ever written prior to the setting and release of the game, he wrote Sudden Death (2010). I'd definitely listen to those 2 if you haven't already.
Angry Again is another good one too
I remember first time i beard this song my mind was blown, learned the intro on guitar the next day
the solos in this song give me goosebumps every time haha MEGADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETH!!!!!
Love your reaction, you were really digging it!
God I love your reaction to this video. I know exactly the feeling when listening to this awesome song 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw them live on this tour. Just amazing.
While in Ireland in the mid 80s. Dave Fucked up and said something about the religions. this caused a huge riot and the band had to be escorted out of Ireland in armored vehicles. when Dave realized what he had done, he wrote Holy Wars.
The cool bit: the singer is also a bloody incredible lead guitarist. In this song, the first two solos were played by their ‘primary’ lead guitarist at the time, an absolute genius called Marty Friedman; the last solo was played by the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Dave Mustaine. Dave Mustaine was, back in 1982 and early ‘83, the original lead guitarist for Metallica. They put em out on his arse because he was a mean drunk and also did more or less every other drug he could get his hands on, which led to serious friction. His ‘revenge’ for being sacked from Metallica? Start a band that is heavier, faster, and is-in general-comprised of more virtuosic musicians. Megadeth tended-in the early days-to be the darker and more nihilistic of the two bands. Just like Metallica, however, their songs (all of whose lyrics were written by Mustaine), began to mellow out a little when Mustaine got sober (after, I believe, his 13th stint in rehab) and found religion.
He is STILL, however, a mad wicked guitar player and songwriter. He didn’t suddenly become a gospel singer or something; he’s just eased up on the whole ‘life is empty and meaningless; I stay alive out of spite’ thing.
This song came off their finest record, Rust In Peace. This was probably their best lineup. (The only original member still in Megadeth is Dave; he gives the impression of being difficult to work with.)
Other songs I would recommend (This
includes some deep cuts that’ll set you apart from the casual reactors, and bring you some subscribers that are more than just part-time fans):
Lucretia
The Conjuring
Wake Up Dead
In My Darkest Hour
Tornado Of Souls
Hangar 18 (watch the live version from the ‘Rude Awakening’ live album to watch Dave and his lead guitarist trade riffs)
She-Wolf (also from the ‘Rude Awakening’, also featuring a wicked extended guitar solo and a drum solo)
Ashes In Your Mouth
My Last Words
I Thought I Knew It All
A Tout Le Monde
(Good Mourning) Black Friday
P.S. I strongly recommend that, when searching for these songs, you include the search term ‘original version’, because they’ve remixed and remastered all their albums about 12 times, and the ‘improved’ versions all sound shite.
P.P.S.: Love your reactions; you’ve got a lot of energy and a lot of attitude-the kind of personality that used to make for a fucking wicked rocker, back in the 90s before rock and metal became purely the purview of lone guitarists slaving away in their basement with a rack full of gear and Pro Tools, playing all the instruments themselves to record songs that maybe a couple hundred folks will hear-if they’re lucky. You would’ve loved it back when, instead, we all had bands, and if we didn’t have a venue to play, we’d play at high school or University parties, or we’d just put on a bonfire concert in the middle of a field at night, running our gear off a generator. Anyroad, hope this helps. Cheers…and keep digging for great music!
oh, girl, you have GOTTA listen to In My Darkest Hour [So Far, So Good.. SO WHAT? album]It is a kick-ass song!
She will never look at Metallica the same again. Welcome to the good side young lady
Oh hell yeah another great reaction you rock man you are in the Cincy area I grew up on Megadeth they have some really good music I hope you react to more I'm sure you will but have a great one I'm glad I come across your Channel💯💚🤟🏽🤟🏽
This song is phenomenal. Good video LJ.
This song was supposedly wrote after a concert in Ireland where Mustaine almost accidentally incited a religious riot after which megadeth was escorted either out of that region or out of Ireland in an armored bus
I bought this when I was a little kid and they had an organization called the P.M.R.C, parents music research center and all music was monitored by them and it was a good thing I had a cool mom because you had to be over 18 to buy this, thanks mom!!! This was a bad ass video!
Dave is a lyrical genius. Very few on his level
Hi Lily,other greats by Megadeth:Train Of Consequences,Symphony Of Destruction,Peace Sells,Tornado Of Souls,A Tout Le Monde,She-Wolf,Skin O'My Teeth,Sweating Bullets,Hangar 18,Blood Of Heroes,Mechanix,Angry Again,Washington Is Next!,and from the new album, We'll Be Back and Soldier On. Greetings from Argentina 🖐️
All our bigger metal acts are HUGE over seas, to this day. Megadeth very well could have inspired many bands from Europe, Asia, where ever, but specifically South America. South American audiences are insane!
