its a lot easier to appreciate Megadeth if you're a guitarist. Their music is very technical from an instrumental standpoint, Mustaine is a guitar genius!!
Mustaine has an ability to tell a story and conjure emotions just with a guitar... it’s something I’ve never heard reproduced. I honestly believe if it weren’t for Dave we’d have no Metallica
This is the only rock song I know where none of it's riffs or melodies get repeated elsewhere in the track after they've been played through. No verses and no choruses, every time there's a change in the song it's a totally new section. And somehow it works beautifully.
The last time I saw Megadeth a few years ago this was the opener. Everyone's head just banged in unison during that end section of the song. It was awesome!
I could honestly listen to Lex describe music for hours. She has a very interesting and unique way of interpreting songs and I love to hear her perspectives and takes on little things. She’s super intuitive. Amazing really. And her enthusiasm and spirit is contagious and always fun. Great reaction as always. 👍🏻
Fans of Megadeth and this album, in case you missed it, Brad and Lex reacted to The Conjuring about a week ago. The only thing stopping the Lex train was Brad having to pause.
This song is about Dave Mustaine when he was living with a girl he didn’t want to be with anymore, but only stayed with her because he didn’t have another place to live and was dating a girl he liked on the side. So he was out with her, not his boys. That was his “cover story” You really need to react next to: Mary Jane (for the awesome composition) And Liar (for the aggression and shock value)!
@@KetoFitChef Yeah but I think they have better songs. I'd put liar lower on the list. Musically Liar is good, but the lyrics are kind of... they could be better. This is my opinion. I used to really like it, after 35 years of listening to Megadeth I'm thinking it's not their best song.
@@BrettonFerguson you’re right. Everyone’s got their different favorites. To this day, it’s still in my Top 15. It’s fast and fun. It’s fine with me that others don’t like it, but it’s one that people new to Megadeth really should hear as far as I’m concerned.
Dave Mustaine is unmatched in his original guitar riff, leads and overall style in those days---- the band's style in this album was orbiting thrash jazz because of Gar Samuelson (drummer) R.I.P. 1999 - Brad and Lex, keep on the Megadeth Peace Sells album- it's the most furious metal album of all time, next to Metallica's Puppets album, even though they are 2 uniquely styled albums and should never be compared that way. Cheers from Southern Ontario, Canada... Metal soothes the savage soul...
I've seen Megadeth live at least 10 times in my life and this song never gets old! I'd like to see your reaction to their songs "Hook In Mouth", or "Trust", "Lucretia", "Peace Sells But Who's Buying", or "Holy Wars"
Hey - Brad. I catch a lot of your guy's live streams and I must say... for whatever reason... your live reactions are waaay better than what is portrayed in these UA-cam videos not live. The people who miss out on the streams miss out on your personality man. You are definitely a character, and the duo here feels powerful. Keep up the good work my man.
He *said* he was out with the boys. I don't think he was. :) Anyway, I love that song because it throws away traditional verses/lyrics/song structure and just throws awesome riffs and guitar solos at you in whatever way Megadeth wants.
this song was first then the conjuring followed by peace sells. which was the song that got airplay. the bass intro to peace sells was used everyday on MTV back in the 80's and nobody knew who it was; it is funny to watch when they realize after hearing peace sells that they had heard the intro several times for it was used several times a day everyday....
Sometimes you guys don’t get metal. It’s about feeling it, those transitions, switch ups are meant to keep you on your toes… metal is supposed to be passionate even when it’s a slow song.
Megadeth is probably my favorite metal band from what's considered true classic heavy metal music from this Era. If you're not into technical sophisticated music you just won't get it.
Is this Wake up dead a redone version?..Some guitar solo parts seen slightly off from what i remember..Also the "Wake up dead" lyrics at the end have some high pitched back vocals or something..Unless all this just sounds off because of playing off this video..
Yeah, at 3:07 Lex says it's a remaster, 'cause I remember this song sounding a lot different. The original was slathered in reverb, and this version's got a lot more bottom support, and it's just generally tighter. More focussed, actually. I like it. And all the 'repetition' Lex was commenting on at 4:36 is there for the moshers and the drivers. When the pit gets into a good whirl, you want it to last a bit more, and when it's night on the freeway, a few extra bars of what I'll call the _good part_ helps justify pinning the pedal down another half mile or so. _Peace Sells_ is my favorite Megadeth song ever, but this is a hair's breadth second.
Mustaine is one of the greatest guitar solo composers. Sometimes they just slot in so perfectly I get chills. I always think of super-fast harmonies. Last solo here, and at the beginning of The Conjuring spring to mind.
The beginning of the song makes you think his woman is the crazy one who would kill him, but he's the crazy serial killer one who's got a bunch of exes in the basement. Dave Mustaine is a great story teller.
when the guitars sound like marching armies or animals it is not a solo and is good to pause, those are rhythm sections. when the guitars sound like screeching birds or screams then those are solo's and never pause. hope this clears things up
u guys gotta remember songs r also made for the mosh Pitt too! for some of the long musical parts, not made for just kicking back on the couch and listening to necessarily . Cool reaction !
I liked Lexs "They do this cyclone thing" I thought that was really cool never thought about that before even considering the Meg have got a track called 🌪Tornado Of Souls🌪
Yoooooo I haven’t listened to md in forever lmao guitar solos were super big back then and yeah the point of it was to give an idea of what was happening through the music rather than lyrics
Just watched the free bird video... I think Lex needs to do the "Metallica instrumental" marathon... .Call of ktulu .Orion .to live is to die . Suicide redemption "To live is to die" is my all time favorite SONG!...EVER
I believe in the beginning of the song the lyrics were describing his lie...I was out with the boys....Then his woman at home finds out he was actually with Diana...So he wakes up dead.
What album is that off of? I had all their tapes growing up but they got lost over time. I was a skater punk so all I listened to was thrash n punk/hardcore at the time. Was it Lights, Camera, Revolution?
@@randyman1331 Thank you Sir....but trust me I've already been indoctrinated. I love Suicidal. I even went to a concert n touched Mike Muir (walkin to the stage) n had the same feeling when I touched Jello Biafra. Most of those old tapes we had were bootleg n you were damn lucky if it had a track listing, nor the "name" of the album. That one stood out tho. What a name. What an album! And I know I'll catch hell for this, their attempt at commercialism, but at the time I really identified with "I'm Alone". Dude after the pick Slide, when yu kno yur about to blast off...Shit!! Great tunes, n great memories. Thx! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
That Logo takes me back. Had the Misfits inked on my left bicep years n years ago. When I saw Cliff Burton wearing Misfit tees, I nearly died. My hero loving the same music I thought nobody at the time had heard of lol
You know what I just ate but now I'm going to make some elbow macaroni with butter and some Parmesan Romano cheese on it just from watching this song for some reason!
It's really cool to appreciate Megadeth music if you had a meatball sausage grinder mother in marinara sauce with melted provolone cheese and maybe a couple of your other favorite condiments don't forget to follow it up with a Frosty or whatever favorite beverage you enjoy!
This Megadeth song and Holy Wars...the Punishment Due are probably my two favorite. This is THE ONE...n all the others change lol. I love it...all the Change ups. Y'all know the lead guitarist/singer, Dave Mustaine, was the original lead guitarist for Metallica, right? Well after they booted him (for gettin drunk n punching James Hetfield of Metallica in the face) he woke up with a bus ticket beside him...from NYC to LA. 😂 The only drawback is the feud between them for years n years. Right when yu think it's over, something else comes up. But the drawback is that Dave tried SO HARD to out-do Metallica he wasted alot of riffs n material. There are enough riffs n changes for 4-5 songs in here but Dave HAD 2 prove 2 them he was the best n they made a huge mistake. I think Megadeth could've had greater songs but every idea was thrown in as a change up instead of the main riff to another song. Or you can say it just makes this song that much better. Two ways 2 look at it! Keep goin! My favorite reaction channel!
I looked at it as "although it was unfortunate for Dave that he was booted.. we all benefitted by the fact that there were 2 great bands to enjoy as a result."
@@uoabigaillevey BTW you ever heard of Anton? He spelled it LaVey. If you kno who he is...cool. If not, look him up. Anton Szandor LaVey. Quite the character. But seemed as honest n genuine as anyone I've ever seen interviewed. Even though the interviewer was throwing all the cliché barbs at him...he stayed cool. Very funny and intelligent
@@uoabigaillevey That's amazing. Yes, I got about just as far. I knew he had made the name up and I didn't know much else lol. Thanks n sorry to bother you
I always considered this song an Instrumental but not quite...very limited lyrics in this song. And because of that, it's the song that got me hooked on Thrash Metal in the Fall of 1987.

well said
Mustaine has an ability to tell a story and conjure emotions just with a guitar... it’s something I’ve never heard reproduced. I honestly believe if it weren’t for Dave we’d have no Metallica
Marty Friedman was a huge force in Megadeth when it comes to a lot of the crazy solos for a large chunk of his stint in the band
Mustaine, is a very underrated guitarist
Im a metal singer and You are spot on. WITHOUT them Im in a world of shit!
This is the only rock song I know where none of it's riffs or melodies get repeated elsewhere in the track after they've been played through. No verses and no choruses, every time there's a change in the song it's a totally new section. And somehow it works beautifully.
That's an excellent description of this masterpiece.
Holy Wars???
@@jhamilton1007 Holy Wars starts and ends the exact same.
@@jhamilton1007 yep and there are others as well. Mustaine is quite the song writer
Vortex by Jinjer is like that too
One of the greatest headbanging tunes ever. Hearing this song opening a concert when you are 18 is so epic it can't be adequately related with words.
The last time I saw Megadeth a few years ago this was the opener. Everyone's head just banged in unison during that end section of the song. It was awesome!
I was waiting for it to happen, than at (5:15) Lex smiled, and for about 45 sec. went to a place only metalheads know about.
Ticket courtesy of Friedman shredlines.
@@Fabian080690 it is chris poland on guitars, it is also mustaine solo.
@@karasakizbaris Welp, he tried lmao
It was great watching her just teleport away caught up on that sick riff.
This whole album was one of the best thrash albums ever

Good mourning/Black Friday please. Brad will like the lyrics in that one lol
^
Holy S! This takes me back. This whole album is hard as hell. Get some! Thank you.
I had this on cassette in the late 1980s without lyrics and I thought it was about waking up with a hangover lol
It's about a guy who is cheating and is sneaking in hoping he wont be killed in his sleep.
Ya think?
This song is about Dave Mustaine when he was living with a girl he didn’t want to be with anymore, but only stayed with her because he didn’t have another place to live and was dating a girl he liked on the side.
So he was out with her, not his boys. That was his “cover story”
You really need to react next to:
Mary Jane (for the awesome composition)
And
Liar (for the aggression and shock value)!
Diana!
Yes he said he was out with the boys.
But don't react to Liar. They have much better songs IMO. It is fast though.
@@BrettonFerguson don’t react to Liar?? That song is amazing!
@@KetoFitChef Yeah but I think they have better songs. I'd put liar lower on the list. Musically Liar is good, but the lyrics are kind of... they could be better. This is my opinion. I used to really like it, after 35 years of listening to Megadeth I'm thinking it's not their best song.

Just like Picasso used canvas, Megadeth paints their pictures with their guitar playing…some of the best guitar work ever.
This song is what offically got me into heavy metal!
To me this song always felt like a boss fight music and the boss is the wife.
Y'all explained this video to perfection. Love this reaction.
THIS WHOLE ALBUM THRASHES!
EVERY SONG!
'The Conjuring' video was the other day, 'Wake Up Dead' today, I'm guessing 'Peace Sells' could(should) be next🤘🤘🤘
this is why mustaine benifited from being fired from metallica. it had to be
Dave Mustaine is unmatched in his original guitar riff, leads and overall style in those days---- the band's style in this album was orbiting thrash jazz because of Gar Samuelson (drummer) R.I.P. 1999 - Brad and Lex, keep on the Megadeth Peace Sells album- it's the most furious metal album of all time, next to Metallica's Puppets album, even though they are 2 uniquely styled albums and should never be compared that way. Cheers from Southern Ontario, Canada... Metal soothes the savage soul...
And Chris Poland's solos were very jazzy as well. He and Alex Skolnick are my favorites from this era.
god I love this album!
I've seen Megadeth live at least 10 times in my life and this song never gets old! I'd like to see your reaction to their songs "Hook In Mouth", or "Trust", "Lucretia", "Peace Sells But Who's Buying", or "Holy Wars"
My Last Words. That song is so freakin good!

The sleep - Pantera you should react too 🤙
You paused at the best part, now I gotta go and let the neighbors here it on my home stereo!!!
I'd so buy these 2 folks tickets to a metal show 😂😂

This is the super genius that happens when Metal artists are mixed with Jazz musicians!
Best headbanging song ever!!
In my darkest hour or good mourning/black friday are both great megadeth songs as well check em out
I subscribed just because she knows Metal like all Metal Heads!! She gets it!!
I love that at the third bar of the riff she begins to smile. 🤘🏼😊
Do Megadeth “Hook in mouth”. Great song for Brad to analyze.
Who remembers this being the intro to "Headbangers Ball"?
Peace Sell was more Jazzy than the rest of there albums. Which I found myself gravitating towards more than the rest of their albums.
He said he was out with the boys but was really cheating. Thanks for this review
Do Devils Island or Bad Omen.
They're the best songs on Peace Sells.
Bad Omen is never paid attention to. Such an amazing song!
Nah my last words and good morning are the best songs
Sometimes you guys don’t get metal. It’s about feeling it, those transitions, switch ups are meant to keep you on your toes… metal is supposed to be passionate even when it’s a slow song.
nice reaction, you guys should do Megadeth She - Wolf LIVE version, it will blow your mind!!!
The Rude Awakening version!
Tune! Sylosis guys!
Megadeth is probably my favorite metal band from what's considered true classic heavy metal music from this Era. If you're not into technical sophisticated music you just won't get it.
Is this Wake up dead a redone version?..Some guitar solo parts seen slightly off from what i remember..Also the "Wake up dead" lyrics at the end have some high pitched back vocals or something..Unless all this just sounds off because of playing off this video..
Remaster.
I'll miss out on flying cars and laser guns but I got to see MegaDeth live.

One of the best Megadeth songs written.
u guys gotta remember songs r also made for the mosh Pitt too! for some of the long musical parts, not made for just kicking back on the couch and listening to necessarily . Cool reaction !

into the lungs of hell by Megadeth
In my darkest hour for a deep song. Rattlehead for a kickass song
Just watched the free bird video... I think Lex needs to do the "Metallica instrumental" marathon...
.Call of ktulu
.Orion
.to live is to die
. Suicide redemption
"To live is to die" is my all time favorite SONG!...EVER
How have they not done Peace Sells yet??
Wake Up Dead definitely my favorite song by MEGADETH 🤘🤘
I used to play this in one of my bands, its a simple idea. Creeping in the house after a boys night
My fav metal song! Great pick!!
Black Friday is must... one of their best songs...
Was the first Megadeth song I heard MEGA DAVE😈🤘 so many favorites
I believe in the beginning of the song the lyrics were describing his lie...I was out with the boys....Then his woman at home finds out he was actually with Diana...So he wakes up dead.
In my darkest hour 😍
I love the music video for this one it adds to the vibe.
daves guitar was untouchable
That smile is so infectious😏
This is the best thrash metal song ever. This is the epitome of thrash.

Check out Peace Sells, My Last Words, Hook In Mouth, Liar, In My Darkest Hour. Some great tunes from Megadeth.
These types of songs you don’t need much lyrics to make a story
I always imagine the masses jumping to it like to a nu metal Song ....in the last Bouncy Part introduced by “Diana!” F%€&#@ Love that Part.
Listen to peace sells🙏🏻 definitely feel like both of you would love it🤘🏼
Heard it in person...it's way faster and heavier
I love this song 🎵, it’s amazing bass,guitar, drums,even Metallica can’t even roll with this 😂
I always considered this song an Instrumental but not quite...very limited lyrics in this song. And because of that, it's the song that got me hooked on Thrash Metal in the Fall of 1987.
Y'all should watch a live version of this song.
Dave may be the greatest guitarists ever.
