Oi the cringe. Billy Ray did not do Bootscoot n Boogie for one he did Achey Brakey Heart. 2 Nic Cage was Ghost Rider. The old Punisher movie has Dolph Lundgren.
As for a Megadeth suggestion I say Trust, Symphony of Destruction, or Peace Sells
Oh my. I was waaaay off in this video. That’s what I get for trying be relevant. 🤣🤣
@@roberthoughton7127 haha it's cool. Keep up the "good" work brother.
I just told Gauge and he’s laughing at me. 🤣🤣
Tornado of souls and in my darkest hour are insanely good too
@@roberthoughton7127 I suggest Hangar 18 from the same album Rust in Peace. Very good song. I never realised the connection to The Punisher in this song. Btw Marvel's Punisher is amazing.
“Jesus died a mega death so we can have a mega life.”
Dave Mustaine
did he really say that?
@@boromeusabyasadaniswara7195 I wouldnt doubt it, hes born again Christain now apparently.
Boom!
Cringe.
@@leeschofield488 The only cringeworthy thing is you.
Most pastors: Metal is SIN!
Pastor Rob: I like this riff!
You're exactly right! We need more pastors and or priests like him. The Judgment has to stop
@@pjsin9472 true
Bro,
Christian Rock/Pop/Metal/Metalcore/Djent are already existing things!!!
Metal isn't a sin it's just a style of music that creates awesome sound with pounding booming drums and awesome heavy guitar riffs and I'm a fellow Christian my self and no where in the Bible does it say metal music or rock music is evil or a sin alot of people are gonna tell you that it is but it's not 🤣🤣💀
Well there is Christian metal. And it's soooooo good. Like I love people screaming and singing with slamming guitars. Just sing about Jesus.
That moment when a Pastor calls you poser.
🤣🤣
D'OH
IKR LMAO
"I've never heard this either."
*2 notes in*
*"OH I'VE HEARD THIS."*
LOL
LOL
That WHOLE ALBUM start to finish is a masterpiece.
Yes!
Hell yeah, I've got the old classic cd, not the one after the dreaded remaster. I love it to bits
Best metal album ever made
Marty Friedman. 2 solo dave one
No hammer ons in Dave's solo
It was inspired by the Protestant vs catholic wars in Ireland, and “...the punishment due” section was inspired by the comic book character The Punisher.
Northern
The lyrics from the 3rd part(return to the original groove) was from the Punisher and Dave's point of view
that still go on today because people are fucking pathetic
Good catch my Newberry brethren lol
@@Lt.Shineysides89 it's there still, Belfast is still divided , but luckily the bombs and killings have stopped
This album helped me get through Desert Storm. I'll always be greatfull to Dave and company. RIP Nick Menza.
Hopefully some pantera was in there too.
He has a teenager’s voice, which works to his advantage. Because, when my generation was teen-aged, we heard this teenage-sounding guy laying out this freakin’ killer metal, and it instantly inspired us to pick up the guitar and shred.
He was a teenager at the time of this song? 😮
@@roberthoughton7127 No he just sounded like one 🤣
Either “Hangar 18” or “Tornado of Souls” by Megadeth would be fantastic
Tornado pls
Tornado!
You're right! Tornado just ahead for me!
Tornado.
🌪️
I recommend In My Darkest Hour by Megadeth. He wrote the music after his friend Cliff Burton passed away.
I second that! I came here to suggest this song as well, but you beat me to it 🤘🏼
What?! Really? That song was inspired by Cliff and not somebody he broke up with? I love the song even more!! I got to see Cliff live. *sigh* Metal has never been the same without him but I’m going to go crank up In my Darkest Hour again.
Pretty sure Darkest Hour is about his abusive ex, though you could be right
The song is about his muse at the time which was Diana (Wake Up Dead is also about her) however, he wrote it after Burton passed.
@@CatharticusX I believe the music was written after the death of Cliff, the lyrics though was about an ex
I love how Dave Mustaine is now a Christian.
What's even better is how Alice Cooper is his Godfather
I don't. Just another lunatic to add to the pile of other deluded lunatics.
Shame he fired Ellefson for having a few wanks.
@@leeschofield488 M8 you need Jesus. And a snickers. But mostly Jesus
@@tvbnine793 Haha. I'll take the Snickers. I never had an imaginary friend as a child so I won't be starting as an adult.
Hetfield on Mustaine during this period "everything was just exploding out of him"
Like diarrhoea?
Phrasing!
@@Alfaqwad BOOM!
Lots of mustard.
@@BongEyedBastard got burnt once, but that was only gonorrhea?
acording to urban dictionary:
deth
"The proper way to spell the second half of the amazing band known as Mega'deth'."
"Megadeth was awesome back when the vocalist had a drug problem"
Also the urban dictionary 😂
Bassist David Ellefson is also an ordained Lutheran minister.
When he isn’t on tour, he apparently also leads worship music in his home church. And he has his own coffee brand lol.
@@dalenewberry4610 Wow! I didn't know that! 😮🔥
They used to be heavily into black magic and the sex, drugs n rock lifestyle. As much as that was cool at the time, I am happy they got their shit together, regardless of the motive. I myself am agnostic, so I don't really buy it, but if it means Dave and Junior live for longer then I don't mind!
He's also a very down to earth person. I've exchanged a few emails with him. Very humble and genuine.
ch4s Coked up angry Dave is the most creative Dave though.
The best part about being a megadeth fan is seeing peoples reaction to their musicianship
That whole album is amazing. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman combo was gold
From what I know, the first half of the lyrics(the “Holy Wars” part)is inspired by the band’s time spent touring in Ireland and seeing the division between the Catholics and Protestants. And like you said, the second half is based on “The Punisher”.
TheGamblingGoose - yes I think Dave talks about it in a Loudwire “fact or fiction” episode.
Yeah , the band was stuck in Belfast Ireland in the 80’s and , saw some of the catholic vs Protestant war , the second half is just inspired by the punisher comics
@@cirith100 I believe it was Antrim they were in
They were playing in Ireland and Dave was drunk, and on stage he said "this one is for the cause" before playing Anarchy in the UK. thinking he would be funny, then they audience divided into two sides and they were taken off stage and sent out of the country on a bulletproof bus.
@@lordofwoe9274 He didn't say it because he thought it was funny, it was because before the show a guy went up to him and spat on him talking about the cause. He said that was a pretty "metal" thing to do and thought he was saying something they believed. Before he said for the cause he said "Give Ireland back to the Irish". He wasn't trying to be funny or political, he just said it because he heard it said. He was just drunk.
The first three solos were Marty Friedman's, the last one was Dave.
Dave has two solos, first and the last, Marty has 3, the acoustic and the 2 before the last,
Mr. NoseyBonk wdym the first ? The first is the acoustic solo?
@@oldmatevb He might be referring to the lead part dave plays before the lyrics in the main riff
ShotZSpaggo that’s not a solo, it’s a melody and would be a riff Cus it’s a repeated line, then and later In the songs
Pastor Houghton, your humility shows that you’re fulfilling God’s call in your life. Pleas don’t apologize for being “heavy”. You speak the truth of Christ. Everyone needs to hear it. Thank you for your reaction. This is one of my top three Megadeth songs. It’s a metal masterpiece! 🙌🏼🤟🏼
The song is about the conflict in Northern Ireland I believe.
It could also be any religious conflict. Say bosnia for example. Its very layered and i dig it. It covers so much really.
@@evang7954 yeah but Dave talks about how he wrote it about when he got caught up in the fued with the Northern Ireland conflicts when got on stage and said “this ones for the cause” and got the whole band escorted from the the venue in and armored vehicle
@@alexpaurazas4083 I read that too. The second half of the song is about The Punisher.
@@alexpaurazas4083 When this came out Dessert Shield/Dessert Storm was happening and I thought this was about that, especially with the acoustic interlude having that Middle Eastern flair to it, but a few years later I read the interview where Dave Mustaine mentions his unintentional shout out and the consequences of that.
dave got the idea when he went to Ireland to perform and some guys at the crowd starded fighting because of this, but th lyrics are about any holy wars really
Fun facts Dave Mustaine admitted that he played with black magic as a young man, but has since has accepted Christ and refuses to sing certain song because of their satanic undertones.
I think “the conjuring” is the only song he won’t sing. “Five Magic’s” maybe one but in don’t think so
@@kennethstephens8046 Megadeth played "The Conjuring" in 2018. Chris Adler convinced Dave to detach himself from those songs and play the ones fans love to hear
mrob456 true story. I believe the only time he has played it in years was during the rust
I’m peace show as it was on the album.
Megalife
@@Jzalar97 they played it on this year's european tour aswell
If you watched MTV back when they played music, you've heard Megadeth. The baseline for "Peace Sells. . . but who's buying" was the intro for MTV news.
Remember "Headbanger's ball" too ?
Dave Mustaine was the original lead guitarist of Metallica. Kicked out for partying to hard. His life’s a great example of going forward in life especially after seemingly catastrophic mistakes...
Dave kicked Metallica out of his band everyone knows this come on
"Tornado Of Souls" "Peace Sells" "In My Darkest Hour"
Me: Chilling at home playing PS4.
Pastor Rob: Uploads a Megadeth video.
Me: Switches to UA-cam and watches this and 10 more videos of Pastor Rob Reacts.
"I've never heard this either" *first 3 notes play* "Oh I've heard this"
Megadeth’s Rust In Peace is an amazingly brilliant album from front to back.
“Set the world afire” is one you guys should look into, it has revelations written all over it and it was the first song Dave wrote after getting booted from Metallica
Yesssssss
I think it might be interesting if you reacted to "Floods" by Pantera. The lyrics take the form of a prayer from a man wishing God would send a second flood to extinguish mankind and its evils. Curious stuff.
Beautiful song
I love that song but feel Slaughtered would bring a better analysis.
Best solo ever
Dave Mustaine actually became a Christian, at least that's what he says!
He prays before every show
The bass player, David Ellefson, is also an official Lutheran pastor since 2017.
ua-cam.com/video/_s-sQqv880M/v-deo.html
Nobody's perfect.
@@Trainwheel_Time yes
If dave makes his voice back to normal he'll became a super human
The bands he tried to get kicked out of OzFest and other venues by throwing world-class tantrums certainly know he’s a Christian now.
Love what you're doing pastor Rob, and absolutely proud of your son working with you. Great example!
I have been waiting for this reaction. Thanks alot guys!
According to Mustaine, the name "Megadeth" represents the annihilation of power. It is a misspelling of the term megadeath, meaning one million deaths by nuclear explosion.
Wich explains the cover of peace sells
@@elishakinyon9992 but who's buying? 👍
lol he just saw a printing ad with the word MEGADEATH on it and he got from there
Megadeth's looking down the cross, is 1 yall NEED to do. Its about Jesus Christ's thoughts as he was being crucified. Please do a reaction
I second this! GREAT song!
Yeah that would be great
Yes! Finally someone who isn't a casual Megadeth fan!
wow ! nice, ppls actually hear all the killing is my bussines album
My favorite song for years. I still get chills every once in a while when listening to it. It really humanizes jesus as someone who had thoughts and feelings and felt pain and turmoil.
This might be one of the most wholesome channels on UA-cam, you guys are awesome! Subbed, further proof that Metal is universal ❤
This whole album SLAPS. Pastor Rob & Gage.. (sorry if I misspelled that) you guys are awesome. I know I’m late to this video but I have always considered myself a relatively Agnostic person & I love to watch these. Your interpretations are awesome & it really gets me thinking. Don’t ever stop trying to spread knowledge and discernment!
Rust is Peace is a solid thrash album. Dave Mustaine is now a Christian and you can clearly see his new worldview in his lyrics since 2003. One interesting song to react to is Looking Down the Cross. This was Mustaines thoughts on what Jesus may have been thinking on the cross before he was saved. Anyway take care and God bless.
Oh yes. This is an excellent song for him to do.
Another good one is the scorpion
@@IronDeath Prince of Darkness, Peace Sells, Endgame; cant go wrong with Mustaine. Hes a really gifted and creative songwriter.
Solid thrash album? That's an understatement, it's considered by many to be one of greatest thrash/metal albums of all time and from a technical standpoint, it's peerless.
@Dr. David Goldbergstein My personal vote for greatest Thrash album of all time still goes to Ride the Lightning but Rust In Peace is definitely still in my top 10, possibly top 5.
@@rmr5044 He has been playing The Conjuring recently though..
" that guy" is VIC. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
Chris Meilleur Vic Rattlehead,to be more specific.
@@pathatfield2543 yeah, I knew there was more too it. Thanks!
Chris Meilleur No,thank you,for not being one of these”who the hell does this jackass thinks he is correcting me” types and being able to have a decent conversational discourse.That seems to be becoming increasingly rare these days.
V. vicious I. insane C. criminal.....VIC Rattlehead to be precise.
Thank you pastor I have received more insight from your teaching.
It was brilliance on its release and it stands the test of time. For me, the best ‘thrash’ metal song written.
"Sweating Bullets" You won't be disappointed.
This ones my favorite too
Agreed!
Wow, great first song reaction for your introduction to Megadeth. The reaction to that solo out of nowhere during Holy Wars, both of your faces was priceless.
So, Dave Mustaine is definitely a Christian now, full blown Christian. He won't play several older songs that had demonic undertones to them, and he even won't play some tours with some bands.
For history of the band. Dave Mustaine was the lead guitarist of Metallica. When they left California to go to NYC to record Kill Em All, there are different stories about what happened, but he was fired and woken up after a night of drinking, and told he was going back to California. He asked when his flight left, and the rest of Metallica told him it was a Greyhound bus. He rode the whole way back to California, just angry. He arrived and was staying some motel, and he kept hearing some kids outside trying to play guitar, waking him up. He finally told them to go get him some alcohol, and come back and he'd teach them how to play. One of those kids was David Ellefson, who became the bass player of Megadeth. Dave Mustaine was constantly in a state of competition with Metallica. He always wanted to play faster and heavier than Metallica. He always wanted to one up them. This song is off the fourth album of theirs, and it features what is probably their most iconic lineup. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman both would play solos on songs, and this also featured Nick Menza on drums. The part you mention, where he ends with "messenger of God," is the end of the "Holy Wars" part of the song. Punishment Due starts after that, and is about The Punisher. This album would be released about the time of Metallica And Justice For All, for a comparison.
I'll give you my meeting Dave Mustaine story. Megadeth started what they wanted to be a yearly festival tour, Gigantour. The first year, they had Anthrax on it, my favorite band, and I had a hook up for two tickets and passes to meet Anthrax for two shows, one in Seattle, one in Portland. First one was in Seattle, and the second ticket wasn't there, and when I got the pass, no one in security knew where I was supposed to go for the pass to meet Anthrax. Wandered around for hours trying to find an answer, until someone said go to a certain gate, that I had been at many times before. I wait in line and other people start showing up, with Megadeth passes, so I figure that it must be the location for all bands. I'm watching the time, and next thing I know, next band to go on stage is Anthrax. Then the gate opens, and we all go through, and then I hear the beginning of Anthrax's song, NFL. I know I'm not in right line, but screw it, I'm here in a line. Come around the corner, and there's Megadeth. First person at the table is Dave Mustaine, and I say, "hey, I am guessing this isn't the right spot, but I was supposed to have a pass to meet Anthrax." Dave Mustaine looks at me, "I'm not in Anthrax, I'm in Megadeth," with this look of, "you're one dumb idiot" look on his face. I say, "oh, I know, your band was what got me into loving thrash metal and Anthrax, and they're on stage right now, and I can hear them playing NFL, one of my favorite songs since it reminds me of a good friend that killed himself day before my birthday when I was 15. Got me through tough times, love the song." He pauses, listens, "yeah, that song is awesome. Here, talk with my tour manager, she'll get you straightened out where you're supposed to be, thanks for being a fan."
Some more Megadeth songs: Symphony of Destruction, Peace Sells, Addicted to Chaos (I made a video for this one years ago)
If you haven't done any Anthrax yet, here's one on point for what is going on currently, Keep It In The Family (and go with either a live version or the John Bush version), Blood Eagle Wings would be another good one (I would recommend not doing the official video though, it is Hard R). The lyrics of Blood Eagle Wings have to do with the violence present in all great cities, built upon the blood and dead of the people throughout history.
Long comment, sorry.
Dave Ellefson was playing running with the devil really loud on bass and Mustaine told him to shut up. Ellefson came up and first asked Mustaine to buy him cigarettes, then asked him to buy booze. That's how they met
ya'll should do a lot more Megadeth, Dave Mustaine writes a lot of Biblically inspired songs. Especially like referring to the coming WW3, Fall of America and the Apocalypse
Ive listened to this album since it came out. I got chills watching you guys react! Love it!
From a former pastor, I'm requesting "Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden. I would suggest live in Rio.
Great song, very emotional. Love from Scotland! 🏴
“Tornado of Souls”
LOL we made it to 2021. I have watched this reaction video a few times. Love the song absolutely, but I also love your father's commentary. "We are all one in Christ"
You guys are incredible! All the respect!
If you want something at the same level:
Ashes in your mouth
5 Magics
Take no prisoner
The conjuring
Also poison was the cure, lucretia, this day we fight, etc
5 magics 🤘😷🤘
@@S1LVERF15 well, the list is long
But those are on another level
"Ashes in Your Mouth"
For Sure...
I mean Tornado Of Souls is best on the album
Countdown to Extinction is such a good song you should listen to it
So underrated
This is one of the best heavy metal albums of all time .
Album was released in 1990. Their masterpiece album! Dave Mustaine was the original Guitarist for Metallica!
His name is "Vic Rattlehead "
Hey pastor Rob I love watching you do your reviews and with an open mind- great stuff and thank you! Here are a couple suggestions for megadeath - dawn patrol, rust in peace, trust, use the needle, and there are many others that I could tell you but those are a good start. I had the opportunity to meet Dave on tour in Dallas and let me tell you he is an intellectual passionate writer and musician who writes from experiences in his life and situations in the world that have effected many people's lives. He honestly speaks from his heart.
BTW Vic Rattlehead is that guy on the cover and yes just like Eddie for Iron Maiden
From Australia 2021. This was amazing. I never expected such a great response to Megadeth & such a nuanced commentary 🥰
You guys rock, so nice to ha ve a refreshing viewpoint.
I love when your vids pop up. I'm an old metal fan, you always give honest opinions and love music. Need I say more.
Guage actually looks like a younger Dave Mustaine with his goatee lol
I thought the same thing when I first saw this.
You are right on. The division of the heart will not be fixed with laws. We all need to pray for each other.
This was my first time viewing one of your videos, and I will admit that I've scrolled past several of your video links in the past due to the "Pastor Reacts" in the titles.
While I am not a religious man by nature, I do not find myself drawn to any particular brand of religion, and just try to live a good life firmly believing in Karma, and respect for the one single planet we have been given. I don't have one bad thing to say about most religions, just live and let live.
That being said, I finally got pulled in, The song in particular playing no small part in that choice, as it is one of my all time favorite metal songs.
So, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed watching you two taking it in (This song IS a lot to take in). You have a great dynamic together. I enjoyed seeing how each of you noticed different, and valid, aspects of the song. Great reaction video, consider me subscribed, and look forward to see more of your stuff!
Cheers.
Megadeth - "Prince of Darkness", "Five Magics", "In My Darkest Hour" and "Peace Sells" are some good ones by them.
Love Megadeth, Dave Mustaine is a legend, Im glad he left Metallica or we wouldn't have Megadeth. I love Metallica as well but having both is better.
No doubt the music world would have suffered greatly if this hadn't happened these 2 bands shaped music for me in a way I can never explain
Exactly. Instead of one discography of great pieces of art, we got two.
I wish more people would realize this, I’ve been saying this since I got exposed to both bands and metal in the late ‘80’s
He didn't leave Metallica. He was kicked out. But I agree; we wouldn't have all these great songs from Megadeth. Although, he loved Metallica...hated them for a while, but learned throughout the years that he had built something great and lots of people love him because of his talent, personality among other things.
Finally a thread of intelligence that doesnt shit on either band. Ive always enjoyed both bands, but its always line drawn in the sand. Youre either Megadeth or Metallica but never both. But they both kick so much fucking ass.
"The Skull Beneath The Skin" from their debut album is the only Megadeth song written about their mascot Vic Rattlehead. Megadeth are one of my favourite metal bands, and there's so many great songs to recommend by them. "Set The World Afire", "Looking Down The Cross", "Rust In Peace... Polaris" "My Last Words", and "Go To Hell" would be great next steps for you discovering the band though. Oh, and both Dave Mustaine and the bassist David Ellefson are Christians.
Oh man, when I made my list, I completely forgot Polaris! lol
Rattle head
@@carlosdiaz-kq9wr Ironically enough, the song "Rattlehead" has nothing to do with Vic at all.
@@Sara_Kane yeah I know but I just wanted to let off some steam
Really interesting discussion and analysis of the lyrics. Thank you. Rock on!
Megadeth's defining moment right here 👏
One of the most epic solos ever composed
WASP was big in the '80's, the singer came to Christ, and now they play Christian metal. The song Golgatha is really good. (The lyrics are already on the official video.)
I would love to see their reaction to this as well.
I mentioned that too. My first WASP concert was in 1985 and I still have the tour program. I idolized Blackie Lawless as a teenager so when I heard he “converted” I figured he was just trying to stay artistically relevant. Then I heard Golgotha. A little repetitive, but, sufficiently W.A.S.P. Blackie’s still got it!
I loved everything you said about the times we are in!!!! Amen!!!! I love David !!! Megadeth is one of my favorite bands and I’m still learning some of there music!!
Marty Friedman played the guitar along with Dave Mustaine. I love this song!
My Dad was my minister growing up, he never listened to heavy metal with me. He judged it before he ever heard it. Love your channel. So glad you enjoyed some Megadeth!
I’d like to see y’all react to the more Christian related Megadeth songs like Washington Is Next, New World Order, Never Walk Alone, Millennium of the Blind, etc.
Or some songs like the conjuring, good morning Black Friday, or five Magic’s. They aren’t Christian at all so it would be interesting to hear their thoughts on them
In my opinion. this is their best song. it has many different sections. fun to listen to.
We made it... June 2021
Almost everything from this album and the 3 before it, is pretty awesome.
Check out anything off their latest, Dystopia. I’d recommend:
Fatal Illusion
Poisonous Shadows
Conquer or Die
Heck yeah -- Bullet to the Brain and Post-American World, too
And lying in state
also the Skeleton is named Vic and he speaks sees and hears no evil hence his bindings
I am a born-again Christian, and another believer in a Bible study asked everybody to tell her a song that truly speaks to their soul. Others gave her hymns or contemporary christian praise music, etc. I gave her this. People were incredulous and totally could not understand. Well, it does speak to my soul and I love this piece of art. If you are not aware, two of the artists are Christians. God, I love this song!
This one is one of my favs. I remember playing this on my guitar in the army barracks when I was in the service and someone thought it was the actual music playing. I was playing the CD but through headphones. Love Megadeth!
"Elysian Fields" by Megadeth for Biblical reference.
You absolutely need to check out Tornado of Souls by Megadeth. Entire song is awesome, but one of the greatest guitar solos you will ever hear is found within.
It’s great for solos, but it sucks vocally.
True, but Hangar 18 is probably the best collection of solos in one song :)
Love you guys!
“Tornado of Souls” and “Lucretia” are two of my favorites, instrumental wise.
I’ve really enjoyed your videos. I come from a Christian background myself and have been a fan of the rock and metal genres for over 15 years. Watching your videos bridges the gap between the two worlds. You guys are great! 🤟
Check out “in my darkest hour” by megadeth!!!
Hells yes 🤘
" Boot scootin boogy " was Brooks and Dunn, achey breaky heart was Billy Ray
Pastor Rob, your take on how we can't legislate and end to racism or hate is the most insightful words I have heard anyone say about our current trouble in the USA.
I’m watching on 2021 y’all made it! 🤘🏼
Tornado of Souls, Megadeth same album.
We did make it to 2021 thanks for asking robert.
didn't expect to hear such a relevant preach that connects the song and issues today
This song never get old, hearing it's like yesterday it came out, driving would be at you own risk lol
My opinion that is the best Megadeth song but anything off this album (rust in peace) is awesome!!
Agreed I would say tornado of souls is pretty good too
I was just gonna say...masterpiece album
I love this channel! It showed up in my feed a few days ago and I have been binge watching all the videos. I am hearing a lot of these bands and songs for the first time as well and they are starting to fill up my playlist. I love the lyrical analysis you do with all of the songs, even the secular ones. As a percussionist, I appreciate the music analysis as well, but I especially like hearing what you think about the lyrics.
I highly recommend Theocracy. They are a Christian band. I'm not sure of the exact genre, but they tend to have long songs with cool instrumental breaks and solid theological content. I have a few specific songs in mind. Easter, which tells the resurrection story mostly from the viewpoint of the disciples; Mirror of Souls, which is technically a 3 song trilogy but it's also all one song (reminds me of the Trinity), and it tells the story of salvation in a very interesting and creative way; I AM, which reminds me of the book of Job because the song is God telling us who He is; As the World Bleeds, which is about how we as humans make messes of God's perfect creation and then we have the nerve to blame God for the problems we cause for ourselves.
8:07 was my goosebump moment in this song. I was a senior in high school (the summer before my senior year) when this dropped. My mom was strict Southern Baptist and hated this band.
Rust in peace... Polaris
The ending is amazing. The continuing riff at the end is a banger. Nonstop. Not sure if anyone else would suggest it tho. But I'm just recommending it.
I recommend it, too! That ending is riff-a-licious!
that riff kills my fingers lmao. absolutely killer \m/
Fantastic song
I’d recommend Tornado of Souls, Hangar 18, Symphony of Destruction, Peace Sells... but Who’s Buying, and Killing is my Business... and Business is Good.
I got goosebumps the exact moment you did!!
Love this video, as a Christian myself and also a Megadeth fan just wanted to say it was awesome. And yes Vic Rattlehead is their mascot and another song I think u should check out is either Peace Sells or Sweating Bullets. Have a blessed and awesome day
I’ll suggest a very underrated one from MegadetH - Foreclosure of a dream
Lots of good Megadeth songs. The whole rust in peace album is a masterpiece
Megadeth is so awesome, especially their earlier works. In My Darkest Hour was on the album before this and I think you guys would love the dynamics of that one.
Best breakdown of this song I've heard. Been a Megadeth fan and guitar player since the mid 90's, Dave Mustaine was always been and still is a huge influence on my playing. Also, Marty Friedman who played guitar solo 1 and 2 in this song (Dave plays the 3rd solo, the shredding part) is absolutely amazing as well. Thank you for this!
