    Today I reacted to À Tout le Monde by Megadeth from their album Youthanasia. I expected a bit of aggression with a name like Megadeth, but was pleasantly surprised. Grief, loss and surviving without a loved one is a tough subject. Let's come together here and support one another through the journey. It's a HUGE part of the mental health conversation.

    Dave explained it in an interview that the song came from his sister telling him that their mother was sick in the hospital and had passed before he got there. But later found out that she was already passed before he was told she was sick. So he thought he was too late getting to her to tell her he loved her and carried that guilt for a long time.

The only things that manifest evil in the world are evil intent, and complicity with those who exhibit evil intent. Dave singing ‘The Conjuring‘ just makes a bunch of lonely , dysfunctional kids (and older blokes, like yours, truly) happy. Keeps us from causing real trouble, like… I dunno…lighting possums on fire, or eating the neighbour’s dog-then next week eating the neighbour’s kid. And nasal sex. That’s the newest delinquent craze.

    Your interpretation is spot on; from what I understand, back in the 90s, MTV wouldn't play the video because they deemed it a suicide song. From the interview I watched, Mustaine talked about how his late mother came to him in a dream, wanting to tell him one more time that she loves him.

    When my father was terminally ill, he had a nurse who explained that, when his final days came, he would know before anyone else did.
    The last time I saw him was 4 days before he died, and when I left I could tell he knew. No one else did. Until that moment, I thought I'd get another chance to see him, but he knew I wouldn't.
    So I said goodbye. I told him he did good.
    I think my ability to cope with his loss was much greater because I got that moment. We got to have closure on our own terms.

He passed before she went back in to give him that kiss. You are lucky for that beautiful moment!

    This is actually a pretty interesting reaction. You should react to Megadeth's "In My Darkest Hour". Pretty good song by them. Also Megadeth is another one of those thrash bands, similar to Metallica and actually broken off from Metallica after singer and guitarist Dave Mustaine got kicked out of Metallica. After that, he formed Megadeth and this is from one of their later studio albums.

      One sad note about that song is that it was written during when Metallica's original bassist Cliff Burton was killed during a tour bus accident when Metallica were doing their *Master Of Puppets tour* in Europe. Dave Mustaine was good friends with Cliff at the time even when he got kicked out of Metallica.

    The demo version of this song is even more melancholy. Actually, they rerecorded this song in 2007 and had Cristina Scabbia (an Italian metal vocalist) as a guest on the song, and it's a more upbeat version. Lisa Marie Presley was slated to be the guest vocalist but Dave thought Cristina was a better fit so they recorded the song with her and released it on United Abominations.

    As far as lack of accomplishment- I learned that setting deadlines for Life goals can be a double edged sword. Great if you achieve them, but if Life throws curve balls (and it WILL)... Not reaching those goals can be twice as detrimental to your self worth.
    Instead, set a goal that's attainable with steps defined. Leave the timeline open ended; as long as one is constantly working toward a goal... it'll happen.
    We as humans tend to forget we are on a timeline other than what we presume to be Ours. Whether it be God you believe in, a higher power, the Universe... we are on that timeline.
    We can only control choices we make and how we react to others.

There's no point in trying to "get over" whatever the loss may be, because that's not going to deal with it. Second, the most important moment in anyone's life is right now. Because it's only in this moment that anyone has the power to change anything. So focus on the now.

    Hi Amanda. Thanx for taking my suggestion (and a few others, I'm sure...) and listening to this great song. You nailed it! It's not about suicide, it's about acceptance, with comming to terms with your own mortality. A lot of people tend to confuse Acceptance with Conformity. If you have a way to deal with something, don't conform, fight and conquer, if you have absolutely no way of reverting an ending, then come to terms with the situation's inevitability and accept it, it will bring you peace of mind (and others around you - although it's not easy). My dad passed from cancer in 2012 and in his final week, when he was suffering, I wished for his departure because I rather suffer from his absence than from his presence in pain and suffering. Anyway, great reaction, loved it. Someone else in these comments suggested In my darkest hour - also from Megadeth. Good song, you should take a look into it. Luv ya and keep your spirits high. (By the way, these are just my two cents on this song, it doesn't mean that I'm right, it means that this is my interpretation of it - different people will have different views on the same subject...)

      My family were so lucky - depending on how you define "luck". My parents lived into their nineties, and both passed peacefully and quickly. The author Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with a terminal variant of Alzheimer's and before he died he was a great advocate of Dignitas in Switzerland, a clinic which basically allows a person with a terminal disease to choose their own time to pass.
      Still doesn't help those who remain - I was with my cat when he was euthanised, held him as he took that lonely final journey, and the emotions as the final syringe is connected to the catheter, knowing that I could tell the vet to stop, but if I did, the cat would take a slower, possibly more painful and certainly a more desperately unhappy journey to exactly the same place, were, and still are to an extent, overwhelming.

    Amanda, Your comments about what you went through is exactly what I was going through when my parents told me I made my mess and I needed to fix it. My wife and my parents deserted me. I tried to end it at that time. I woke up two days later in a very bad way and an old man that was the security guard at the place I was employed told me "Son you lived, you gotta take care of the one (child) you love." I've done my best to help others. I've hinted to my kid a few times that I lived because of her. Love to you and my Baby has my heart!

      This record was their Black Album, imho, song writing and production wise. With Countdown being Megadeths AJFA, my other favorite of theirs. Then things went a bit down hill for both bands after those, my opinion again. As Pantera and Meshuggah carried the torch for the heaviest of metal, short of death metal, keeping metal interesting and going. 🤘

      That's an accurate analogy/comparison (Countdown = AJFA ; Youthanasia = M5/BA), and I'm inclined to agree.
      The stuff after Youthansia (save for the Hidden Treasures EP) did not resonate with me quite as well, as Cryptic Writings seemed to lack whatever it was that pulled me into every Megadeth album prior, so I never got into it. Risk and everything else that followed, was probably better, but by then I was a bit too removed to really dive into the albums and get reacquainted with all the post-Youthanasia material. So I also concur with your "downhill" assessment.
      The only difference is, while I pretty much stopped buying Metallica albums (save for the Garage Inc compilation) once the disappointment that was Load happened, I would still buy every new Megadeth release, just to keep the ole collection up to date and complete ((Megadeth's "evolution" was not as much of a "transgression" as Metallica's was for me - at least Mustaine & Co did not cut their hair! LOL).
      However, with every new album, the idea of doing a "listening session" got more daunting, and my limited time did not make it any easier.
      I heard that Death Magnetic was some kind of "redemption" effort, but I was not particularly impressed. I guess my interest in Metallica has waned too much to really care about anything beyond the "classic" era of the first 3 albums, the EP, and the 2 "sellout" albums ; in short, I'm only interested in anything Metallica before 1992, with Garage Inc being the only exception to that cut-off point.
      As you say, that's all merely "imho", lol. :-)
      Cheers.

      Lols. True. But there is one thing I have to hand to Metallica. No matter what all these years they still stuck together. More like a true band, a family. Not just hired musicians. 'Through The Never' was solid and spot on even after all these years, if you haven't seen it catch it on Netflix.
      With the exception of Cliff's death and two other long standing members on bass, it has been the original line up since their debut record. That's a very long time. Like what 40 years? Most bands don't last 40 months or even 40 days, let alone 40 years. The ultimate road dogs!

      Another good point! I've tried to think of another band with as many original member mainstays (departures-and-returns do not count) who endured anywhere near 4 decades, and I could not think of anyone. That's not to say there isn't any, only that I could not think of them. Despite my "vast" knowledge of bands and artists out there (whether I listen to them or not), it's still pretty limited. I think maybe the closest picks I could find only last as long as a decade or two at most with most if not all original members, and anyone with the same kind of consistent longevity has had a revolving door of session/touring musicians but no real official members. In the case of the latter category, I've completely lost track of who all has ever "served" in the ranks - and I used to be pretty good at memorizing the lineups of all the bands I listened to. Haha, eventually, with every new album by whatever band, I'd look through the little booklet and realize another lineup change, and I'd be like "Aww, jeez! ANOTHER new guy??" At some point you just throw your hands in the air and say "whatever... as long as they are tight and sound good". :-P

      Megadeth could run circles around Metallica, with Dave singing on top it. But Metallica was just always bigger and more relateable. It's like smooth vs. chunky peanut butter. Both are good really, but that chunky and slower tempo Metallica had seemed a bit heavier and more pleasing over all. I also think many prefered James over Dave on vocals. Megadeth is still one of the greats, but Metallica is pretty legendary. Cheers. 🍻

    I feel like as long as I keep breaking down when I hear this song, I have more to do to help myself. I feel some... desperation when I hear it. Like the acceptance of and acknowledgment of imminent death is the most terrifying thing to me. I've stood at the edge of the void before, thought that was how I would pass. Didn't want to, but felt like it would eventually happen if things kept going how they were.
    Acknowledging that the path I was on would kill me was what prompted the biggest changes in my life.

Megadeth saved me and for that I will wholeheartedly support them and continue buying and listening to their music. Metallica and Megadeth both had a hand in keeping me away from suicide and eventually pulling me away from self harm and what not. These bands are very much misunderstood by most non-metal listeners, and for me, they will do infinitely more than any pop artists singing about a breakup or rappers singing about drugs and what not (not saying that this is all of rappers or pop artists in a nutshell, there are some good ones that I enjoy).

    The song is “Wrong side of Heaven” by Five Finger Death Punch.
    The second is by the same band, it’s called “Coming Down” I’ll warn you the video is graphic, it’s been labeled as graphic, & disturbing content. Labeling it disturbing I think just promotes the stigma, it is very real, & the topic is tragic.
