@@chirangautam1497 you are right, the record is Rust in peace. The drummer in that record was Nick Menza and he died 4 years ago of a heart attack, that's why he rest in peace.
"Mercy Killings" not Masochists And this is actually 2 Songs 1st part "Holy Wars" was about the Conflict in Ireland,Between Catholic and Protistant factions... 2nd Part "The Punishment Due" based on the "Punisher" Comic Book Series.
same! its also how i got into rap music, from that just just watching reactors react to anything, and when i saw certain rap verses blowing people minds ( almost literally, hah), i was intruiged.
The trojan war was fought over land and power. Most wars are fought for land or religion. The horse only fit a small group of elite fighters and it was made from some of the ships.
HIs weird prog sounding video game music shit he did a few years back wasn't my jam but his guitar work just was masterful on it. Easy to listen to appreciate what he is doing. not easy to just throw on while your driving to the corner store cause you forgot the milk again.... that make sense?
It's a damn shame that Jason Becker came down with ALS, cuz the Cacophony shit that him and Marty did before Marty joined megadeth was fucking EPIC!!!!!
Ty. I'm a 49 year old metalhead and grew up on this music. Holy wars is based on wars in the middle east. Not to glamorize them but to shun them. Metal has a lot more meaning than most think. I appreciate you reviewing a band like them. Horns up to you guys 🤘
Its about damn time. Here's the problem though. You can't do Hangar 18 and Holy wars and NOT do Tornado of Souls. Tornado has what many consider the greatest thrash metal solo of all time.
@@Droogie128 yeah thats what I heard. Thats why nobody else can properly duplicate it. Came from the soul man. Chris Broderick came the closest but its still not the same
Metal in general was extremely hairy back then lol but that's where the similarities end. You want to see what "glam rock" really looks like look at Poison. Yikes. I felt the need to edit this to make sure that it's very clear that I am not recommending you listen to Poison.
This song is 31 years old, Album (yes Vinyl) released in 1990. Perhaps more relevant today than ever. They're an awesome live show and don't disappoint! The song is actually in reference to religious strife going on in Ireland at the time. Keep on listening boys! \m/
This was mine and my friends jam back in highschool. Megadeths original guitarist Chris Poland and drummer Gar Samuelson were both born in my hometown.
Rust in Peace is a bad a$$ album! I also put a Ford Contour into a tree in an S curve doin 50 drunk like a fool when I was 19 or 20 it was in 1997 or 1998. This song was still playing in the cassette player when I came to. Thank God nobody got hurt. Just because you take a 3 hour nap doesn't mean when you wake up your sober. Car was dead, but this song was still going through the solo. RIP Nick Menza (drummer).
All the way up to 1990's there was a lot of fighting between protestants and catholics in Northen Ireland. This is ( first part - Holly Wars) story about this conflict and Mustain mouthing about it while on tour there. Second part (Tke Punishment due) is about a comic character The Punisher.
The horse for the Trojan war was big enough to hide a few soldiers inside. After the city feel asleep the soldiers snuck out of the horse and opened the front gate for the rest of the army to raid the city.
Before the music starts, I'm predicting that they were not ready for this song... Stay tuned. Edit: better than expected... We must be wearing off on you.
1. Megadeth falls into thrash metal category but it's speed metal. 2. This is two songs, holy wars and punishment due. Both were too short so they jammed them together as one song.
Megadeth has switched out drummers and guitarists throughout the years and in my opinion, this album, with Nick Menza and Marty Friedman was magical. There was something about these four making music together that hasn’t been repeated. You could react to every song on this album and each one will blow your mind in different way. I really suggest you do the each song from Rust In Peace at some point. Definitely their best album and still in my top 10 albums of all time to this day! Happy New Year to both of you!
Marty Friedman is one of he greatests guitarists ever. You can appreciate his work in "Cacophony", a neoclassic/speed metal duo with Jason Becker, or his solo work.
I can't believe you hadn't done this yet! Great song. Here's a suggestion that I doubt you'll get from many, but is amazing: "God Hates a Coward" by Tomahawk. Check out the live performance...it's awesome. m.ua-cam.com/video/0aA5NxTujqg/v-deo.html
Posted on Hangar 18... but my next suggestions would be Peace Sells, Tornado of Souls or The Conjuring. Peace Sells and The Conjuring give some earlier flavor; Tornado of Souls is off the same album as this song and Hangar 18. Tornado is renowned for one of the most insanely technical guitar solos of all time. Enjoy the band, they're my 2nd favorite all-time behind Tool. Happy New Year gentlemen, be safe and be good! 🍻
I think the Trojan Horse was only meant to hold a small undercover unit so that they could be in there for a while and then open the doors of Troy for the rest of the army to sneak in ... or at least that how I remember it haha. And yes, Holy Wars is one of the most influential songs in metal. Megadeth has lots of great songs (and lots of not so great ones, like any other band), so I'd recommend other songs like Ashes In Your Mouth, Good Mourning/Black Friday, In My Darkest Hour, and Last Rites/Loved To Deth.
The song is a 2 part song. The beginning which is Holy wars is in reference to the war in Northern Ireland and The Punishment Due is in reference to the Marvel Comics character The Punisher
Happy New Year Trash Talkers! My favorite off this album is "Tornado of Souls" and would love for you guys to react to that one. Also, it's my favorite to play on the guitar. Noone will ever be able to replicate the solo Friedman created.
There was a time I used to think Metallica and Megadeth were basically equal. As time goes on I listen to Megadeth often, whereas I listed to Metallica maybe once in a blue moon. Really no comparison IMO.
only thing Metallica has is THIER first four albums, and Megadeth has a couple more than four plus just rust in Peace and peace sells alone are probably maybe better
The initial inspiration for this song was about the religious conflict here in Northern Ireland. I was at their gig in Antrim in 88, Mustaine, after a few Guinness, unwittingly started a riot between both sides of the religious divide. The band had to be escorted, in a bullet proof bus, to Dublin for the next gig. Hence the seeds were planted for 'Holy Wars ' Talk about heel heat. He afterwards realised the error, apologised, and, eventually the band returned, all forgiven. It was a crazy time over here back in the dark days.
Before TOOL in 92, I was a big fan of the Big 4: Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. (In order of best to worst, keeping in mind they're all 10s.) Before Metallica, there was KISS as my favorite band since 3yo, then they took off their make-up and I heard Metallica... So, I only had 3 favorite bands. TOOL being the biggest and best and forever will be!!! You Trash Talkers are going in the right direction for an awesome musical journey! (Listen to all of Lateralus on CD! And thank TOOL for this MASTERPIECE!!!)
its fascinating, watching rappers realize they love metal, or metalheads realize they love rap - i remember the divide back in high school. its like, we could have all been friends sharing music. the through line is the same in people specifically fans of those 2 genres for some reason. its really kinda interesting. makes me wanna look into maybe a study or research project about why those 2 genres produce the same fan.
Widely regarded as the best Thrash Metal song... also great Megadeth songs to react to are The Conjuring, Devil’s Island, In My Darkest Hour, Peace Sells, Good Morning...Black Friday, Into the Lungs of Hell with Set the World Afire, Tornado of Souls, Countdown to Extinction, High Speed Dirt, Hook in Mouth, Mary Jane,
the battle of Troy trojan horse story i got was, while it was a large statue, it basically held like a couple special forces units, like 12 to 20 people, while they pulled their army back down the beach out of sight of the city and the ships off shore pulled out and over the horizon and those waiting in the statue waited until the small hours of the night or morning to sneak out of it and attack those guarding the gates in order to open them to allow the army in, which gave the army time to sneak back up to the city under the cover of darkness, just makes strategic sense to me, to exploit a weakness in the people when they couldn't find one in the walls of the city, you know archeologists found Troy, after it was regulated to myth for centuries. It was kinda big news for a while, makes me wonder what all they have found out since then about it
You took a bit of a long time with this Masterpiece 😁🙏💪💥💥Well you still managed 👍🤘for me the best line-up ever 🙌🙌❤️R. I. P. Nick one of the best drummers 😓🙏 Happy New Year 🎉🎉stay healthy
Megadeth and David Ellefson (the bassist of Megadeth) are my idols and favorites in what made me as a bass player. If it weren't for David Ellefson I wouldn't haven't have gone back to playing bass with a pick.
Now you guys should check out "Holy Wars" from Thy Art Is Murder, an Australian deathcore/death metal band. It's not a cover of Megadeth's song but their own original song that just happens to have the same song title, but similar message.
First metal tune/video I ever heard/saw. Never gets old, especially when I see a reaction like that - by the time Mustaine played his last solo, I was playing air guitar (still wearing my shirt though). Truly great music, regardless of genre, is timeless.
A good friend of mine is hopefully going to teach me how to play guitar soon, because he is a is a sick metal guitar player, the last thing I said to one of very good friends in March the last night I saw him alive before he died in the hospital was that I was going to learn how to play guitar for him. I live in Omaha, Nebraska and a lot of people not just around this city but in Iowa also knew who he was. Because he was such a great guitar player.
Regarding to the Trojan war you're talking, for a long time it was thought that The Illiad and the city of Troy were a legend, but less than a century ago archeologist found the ruins of what is believed were the ruins of the mythical city, however, the Illiad I still considered more a fiction rather than an historical record. Also, a strategy game about the war of Troy was released last year and the creatives tried to take a half historical half fantasy approach, having centaurs as nomad tribes who used horses, giants as barbarian tribes of men taller and stronger than the greeks ,and, what I liked the most, the horse of Troy as a siege tower made with ship parts (which gave it the horsey look) that used to go above the walls, which, in the early bronze age, was a mindblow
Please take a look at Helloween’s “How Many Tears” live at Wacken in 2018 from their “United Alive” DVD, you can find it here on YT. Three epic guitarists, 3 singers, a nutty bass player and a beastly drummer and some of the best on-stage chemistry ever, I’ll guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
(I’m supposed to be working right now so shhhh, you didn’t see me!)

Thrash is speed, raw and honest
you're so right❤❤❤
We called Megadeth speed metal back in the day. Motorhead was the first speed metal band.
And thrashing also referred to the head-banging that accompanied this genre.
This is one of the best and original thrash metal songs of all time.
Happy new year boys!

But who's buying
"Because I don't say
Don't mean I ain't thinking it
Next thing you know
They'll take my thoughts away" - 1988 crazy rock lyrics. 2021 - reality
Hi guys. If I'm thinking of the right part of the song, he's saying "mercy killings" where you think he's saying "masochist".✌️
Turns in to "Killers" and I swear the last one says "Cowards"... at least i sing it like that! 🍻
Dave Mustaine - writes 7 of the greatest guitar riffs of all time, puts them all in one song.
You guys need to react to Megadeth - THE CONJURING.
Marty on the first 2 solos, and Dave on vocals and the epic final solo.
Mustaine's guitarwork makes my arms cramp up just hearing them, fuck yeah!
This was mine and my friends jam back in highschool. Megadeths original guitarist Chris Poland and drummer Gar Samuelson were both born in my hometown.
this whole album is a metal masterpiece!!! 5 magics is probably my fav song off of rust

Give me Sorcery, Thermatology
Electricity, magic if you please

First metal tune/video I ever heard/saw. Never gets old, especially when I see a reaction like that - by the time Mustaine played his last solo, I was playing air guitar (still wearing my shirt though). Truly great music, regardless of genre, is timeless.
Gojira - Stranded 🤘
A good friend of mine is hopefully going to teach me how to play guitar soon, because he is a is a sick metal guitar player, the last thing I said to one of very good friends in March the last night I saw him alive before he died in the hospital was that I was going to learn how to play guitar for him. I live in Omaha, Nebraska and a lot of people not just around this city but in Iowa also knew who he was. Because he was such a great guitar player.
The Punishment Due part song is based on the Marvel character The Punisher and directly references stuff first limited series from the mid 80s
i like your reactions you really enjoyed the music! Kudos!
Happy New Years Trash Talkers!!!
You guys need to check out the live version of this 🔥 🔥 🔥
Regarding to the Trojan war you're talking, for a long time it was thought that The Illiad and the city of Troy were a legend, but less than a century ago archeologist found the ruins of what is believed were the ruins of the mythical city, however, the Illiad I still considered more a fiction rather than an historical record.
Also, a strategy game about the war of Troy was released last year and the creatives tried to take a half historical half fantasy approach, having centaurs as nomad tribes who used horses, giants as barbarian tribes of men taller and stronger than the greeks ,and, what I liked the most, the horse of Troy as a siege tower made with ship parts (which gave it the horsey look) that used to go above the walls, which, in the early bronze age, was a mindblow
In my darkest hour is another good one. It's slower but as close to a broken hearted song you can get in metal music
Guys, "Tornado of Souls"
Please take a look at Helloween’s “How Many Tears” live at Wacken in 2018 from their “United Alive” DVD, you can find it here on YT. Three epic guitarists, 3 singers, a nutty bass player and a beastly drummer and some of the best on-stage chemistry ever, I’ll guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
I literally saw the dude on the lefts face melt during that last solo...epic shit
