@@MarioLuigi-yz9pz Im totally aware Dave isnt a singer but a great vocalist and performer instead. He feels what he sings and he has his unique style and sounds. Thats why I like Megadeth from all metal bands which are all very similar and generic for me.
john hager then that means Megadeth’s guitar doesn’t give them their unique sound? I don’t listen to much Megadeth but their style of playing definitely stands out even more than Metallica
This song was reased on 1990. Megadeth is one of the 4 monsters of metal (Metallica,Megadeth,Anthrax & Slayer) Megadeth are the more virtuoso band of them all. Dave Mustaine created thrash metal he wrote almost all the songs in Metallica first album Killem all. This Megadeth ‘s line up on the video was the best line up of Megadeth. Dave Mustaine (singer,guitar), David Ellefson (bass) , Marty Friedman (Guitar) and Nick Menza (Drums). Nick Menza past away a couple of years ago. You shoud review hangar 18, symphony of destruction, peace sells.
Yeahhh ... That is a good list of starting songs..!!! down a very deep & talented rabbit hole - Five Magics, Tornado of Souls, Liar, Polaris, all as well ! 🤘
I was gonna reply but you literally said everything i was going to so i'll comment (including the song recommendations nice choices by the way the only one i would add is Blackmail the Universe even though i know that song came out a bit later) your reply to keep this toward the top haha
Symphony of destruction is a very bad follow up lol It's like listening to Dyers Eve then Mama Said Or listening to Only the good die young and then Run to the hills
@@raytull3922 Don't start with the Metallica vs Megadeth crap. People can have whatever opinions they like. You do have the choice of keeping yours to yourself.
@@JuanHughJorgan You're absolutely correct. I was merely saying that if there was a poll, I have no doubt Master of Puppets would win. Not that I agree, but because every time I've seen that poll in the past, Metallica has won by a landslide. Personally, I think "Disposable Heroes" by Metallica is the greatest metal song ever composed. I know my opinion is a minority, but it's mine never the less.
Ive got loadsa guitar friends. They only heard of megadeth thru me. So many genres which are complete opposite to metal. Pink floyd Beatles Crosby stills Blues, ska, uk indie music etc.
Wow have people really not realized that most of these reactors are just lying? I mean, shit, there's no way a reaction channel hasn't looked into which songs are popular and get the clicks... so you got this, jinjer, devin, etc... the same usual shit that pops up everywhere. And you also got all the same morons in every video asking for the same tired shit.
@@jacowboy thrash metal is like a rollercoaster ride. Thats why every1 wants these guys to step in the cart, buckle up and enjoy the ride... The album for this came out in the early 90s. After 1996-ish metal died. There is a good chance this young dude may never of sat thru a metal song.
This is a world class line up of musicians right here. They have so many amazing songs that will blow your mind. If you like guitar solos then check out Hangar 18 or Tornado of Souls from them 🤘
This was always my favorite heavy metal video. I love watching the reaction from different channels of this song and watch them see a masterpiece. To See them how they enjoy it and their head starts to move. You cant help it. Its great . :).
Dave Mustaine wrote the four horsemen and jump in the fire for Metallica and several other songs arguably. Dave Mustaine has proven to be the better song writer and musician over the years in my opinion. "Rust in Peace" is Megadeth's masterpiece!
And it never ends. Dystopia is great imo. Nothing about it sucks and with the new lineup I'm stoked for the new album hopefully next year since it all got pushed back with the covid crap
Great Fucking Reaction ...What you just Experienced happens to Everyone the First time they Hear This...Trying to get the 2 Grannies to react to this currently ...
I’ve been a fan of that album since it came out and I feel exactly the same way about that song It still blows my mind every time I hear it , even more so now
Megadeth is my favorite band. Hoopsick, if you like this vid, check out the entire album this song is off of. It's called "Rust In Peace". A masterpiece of metal.
Welcome to Megadeth. As a metal guitar player since I was 12, they are my favorite band of all time. You got 15 studio albums to explore, 1 EP, and another album that’s to be released sometime late this year. Enjoy! 😎😂😊
I definitely agree bro, however I only mentioned it due to Drum solo from Jimmy Degrasso who was at one time with Y&T or Yesterday & Today. Of which no one has requested a song by them and are a kick ass band of the 80’s and 90’s.
rofl - I haven't heard this for 30 years. I used to mosh to this with my mates as a teenager in southwest Sydney, Australia. Love the reaction and this is one of the best tracks from Megadeth!!!
I still reMember buying this album the night it hit the shelves and blasting it the whole way back home on a 1000 watt alpine amp and 2 15 inch kicker subs..one of the few things I can remember from that time.
Simply: the first song from the Best Album in the history of thrash/speed/progressive metal. Dave Mustaine is a genius, a living legend. And with this band members he reached his musical peak. And this year he killed cancer and he wrote new music for the new Megadeth album.
About time... Great Reaction 🤘👌👍 This album it's considered among top 10 album's of all time of Metal. Guitar solos and the drums are insane! It's another Master Piece album by The Mighty Death: Symbolic it's another fantastic Album with guitar riffs and solos and the Drums. Both are great album's in the Metal History.
@Dave Muller Some great "moments" on that album. Very rock-country esq. Some songs go a bit too far. Breadline is a bad-un. When that drumbeat kicks in. But insomnia, prince of darkness, doctor callin, wonderlust and time. All great tracks.
My guy Marty and Dave wrote the best solos and riffs in the history of metal and put them all on this one fucking album. Dave's voice is an acquired taste and a lot of people may be turned off by the edgy band name or whatever but in terms of musicianship and song structure there is no comparison. There are 3 songs on this album alone that you can make the case for being the greatest metal song ever written. Heck just the greatest songs ever written. That is a testament to the power of Megadeth.
That song knocked my socks off when I first heard it. Been a fan of Megadeth since Peace Sells. First band I ever loved that was thrash. Several great albums. Plenty great tracks worth listening to.
I’m pretty sure it came out when I was in high school, maybe 90-91 . Megadeth have been my favorite from the 80s until now . But Trivium is completely badass too, having recently been turned on to them by a video similar to yours. Keep up the good work
In the "behind the scenes" (vhs, lol) their bassist states the warehouse they're filming in was like 120 degrees. So the shirts got ditched pretty fast.
The changes to tempo, tone, and complexity of the songs is what metal is about. I dunno, before I was into playing music I was never into thrash. Now it's all I listen too.
It's really funny watching all these reaction videos of music Ive been listening for over 30 years! What were they listening to before? If your not a metalhead, you might as well be dead!
Dave is the best this song is probably the greatest of all time Here are a few recommendations Lord Abortion- Cradle of Filth Painkiller- Judas Priest Endgame- Megadeth Bible Black- Heaven and Hell Taste of Regret- In Fear and Faith A Fault Line, A Fault if Mine- Underoath Facebreaker- Divine Heresy End of the Line- Devildriver
Huge Megadeth fan, higly recomend listening to more of their other popular songs like Hangar 18, Peace Sells, Five Magics, Tornado of Souls, Elysian Fields and Symphony of Destruction!!!🤘🏻
All those edits: this was analog, so I'm sure they were using a board with multiple sources. You can synchronize play the videos and switch between those while recording to an output. It's basically a physical version of Premiere, where the output side is on the right. (this is all radio and tv school shit, def. confirm before repeating as fact lmao)
I'm 50 now, megadeth was my first concert in late 80s. They played with flotsam and jetsam at a small club called city gardens in Trenton new Jersey. As awesome as megadeth was flotsam and jetsam absolutely destroyed that venue. Jason newsted was the bass player but had left just before this show to play with Metallica. Every member of flotsam and jetsam came out with master of puppets tee shirts on and power metal took over. Damn I'm old as shit now.
Finally, David. Lol love the reaction re riff city - Greatest thrash metal song ever....now Continental with Tornado of Soul where Marty Friedman almost brought Dave Mustain to tears first time he did the Greatest solo ever...greetings from Denmark.
Someone else commented things i wanted to say about this particular iteration of the band but to add some more context about this song it has a double meaning. It is about politics (actually a lot of early Megadeth songs were) but its also about the Punisher as in the original movie. A stand out lyric that makes it very obvious is when he sings "they killed my wife and my baby with hopes to enslave me" basically a brief synopsis of the movie lol Also the reason they seem riff driven is Dave Mustaine as you mentioned was the original Lead guitarist of Metallica which means they basically brought him on to write the riffs, he didn't sing at all when he was with them though he talked on stage a lot. He basically wrote all of Metallica's Kill em All album before they kicked him out which is why that album has more of a thrash feel. As far as the video editing you have to remember at the time there was really only "The Big 4" in heavy metal so they got plenty of funding for music videos because they were really popular and still are. (Also funny side note if you're bored listen to Metallica's The Four Horsemen and then look up Megadeth's song Mechanix he basically sped the song up and changed the lyrics as a screw you to Metallica for using his songs on their first album)
8:47 - epic emotion, hahhaha :D i don't know you and found your video by accident but i wanna said i had same emotion in 90s when i heared this epic song 1st time. it's a mental ORGASM. to me is the best song for all times. btw, Mustaine's birthday was yesterday. did you congratulate him? :-)
"How many different riffs?" He asks.
"Yes" Dave Mustaine said.
At that moment we all thought to ourselves..."Welcome"
ua-cam.com/video/-1yzoiUIGGs/v-deo.html
Right???
The Dave Mustaine songwriting method:
1) Write the 10 best riffs you've ever written in your life
2) Jam them all into one song
3) Do it again
Dream Theater is sipping tea in the corner giggling at that question
Lol the entire rust in peace album is a lyrical and musical masterpiece.
Definitely a vocal disaster though

Edu B. Yeah it’s definitely unique but not very easy on the ears
These riffs are tighter than their jeans
the tone is almost as great as their hair too
damn right
True
Haha
I want a bullet belt with white jeans
Riffs... There are so many. Sooooo many. This band is behind some of the most famous riffs of all time. I hope you keep reacting to Megadeth.
Amen
Dave getting kicked out of Metallica is the greatest thing to happen in metal
And the best thing to happen to Dave
I'll 2nd that
I'll 3rd that
Riff City?
Hangar 18: Let me introduce myself.
That's Solo City, my guy
I am a social disease
There are other riff cities... Wake up dead, the conjuring, good morning black friday, take no prisoners.... 😂😉
Troy yes that solo city
ivanher07 my man good mourning Black Friday is so good rust in peace Polaris is a super good song honestly my favorite off the album
There's nothing better than hearing this song for the very first time.
This song was reased on 1990. Megadeth is one of the 4 monsters of metal (Metallica,Megadeth,Anthrax & Slayer) Megadeth are the more virtuoso band of them all. Dave Mustaine created thrash metal he wrote almost all the songs in Metallica first album Killem all.

And I saw that tour with the big 4 great times, 80 s were amazing beginning of the 90s were great
So eithtieessh
30 years later I still get goose bumps!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘😈😈😈
Rust in peace still sounds like the future of metal
Truly ahead of its time. Hell this band was ahead of its time
Ahead of its time. And people now still don’t get it
Follow it up with Tornado Of Souls or Symphony of Destruction!
Also Angry Again and A Tout Le Monde!
Tornado of Souls has arguably the greatest metal guitar solo of all time.
Symphony of destruction is a very bad follow up lol
It's like listening to Dyers Eve then Mama Said
Or listening to Only the good die young and then Run to the hills
BAD OMEN!!!!!!
Bryan Benn it’s also considered one of the hardest to play
They don’t make songs like this anymore , nowadays all songs are very commercial, megadeth is pure metal at it best
Check out Testament.. The last 3 albums have been outstanding.. Proper old school thrash...
@@fullhog overkill as well
Rust in Peace is objectively and categorically the best thrash CD
I love the respect, but come on man. Master of Puppets stands alone at the top and will never be surpassed IMHO.

It's a historical document that needs to be played all day every day for all the pussys and cowards who need sum truth and metal in their lives
What about Reign in Blood?
"They are gonna bring the house down!" VERY accurate description of Megadeth. XD
This brings me back to Guitar Hero, playing while shirtless, wishing my hair was longer than my sister's.
And jeans tighter than Dave Mustaine's riff.
The album was recorded in 1989 so that's why it looks very 80's, but it was released in September 1990
"I never heard a megadeth song before..." but you put two guitars on your walls... how is that possible?
Ive got loadsa guitar friends. They only heard of megadeth thru me.
So many genres which are complete opposite to metal.
Pink floyd
Beatles

No. Best Megadeth song though.
Ashes in your mouth..is another awesome Megadeth song
God I wish I could experience this song for the first time again.
I wish I could feel that solo like it was the first time. Still one of my favourites and definitely one of the best from rock n roll history.
You will love hearing 'Tornado Of Souls' by them
Wow is all I could ever say with this song !
“Yo dude, man is shredded” at 1:46 had me fucking dead😂
Pounds of cocaine , a diet plan
Definitely Check out "My Last Words"-
"Hook in Mouth"-"Ashes in your Mouth"-"Shewolf" (live Rude Awakening Show)and "Rattlehead" All from MEGADETH
Enjoy your journey with these guys they are well worth your time !
Sweating bullets and symphony of destruction are my 2 favourite songs of theirs. Keep up the great work
that 2nd movement after the middle eastern guitar pick down, the lyrics are actually about The Punisher, form what ive read
This album dropped in 1990…. And still holds up against just about any metal music to this day.
This was the peak of the mountain for the genre.
Holy Wars..1990! Man this was and still is an amazing album! I remember getting it when it came out! \m/
Over 30 years ago,when MTV had Headbangers Ball and we got to rock out late at night to gems like this song.

Tornado of Souls (That One Night version) or Symphony of Destruction from that concert, its just mindblowing stuff, amazing crowd for amazing songs.
MEGADETH LIVE : SHE WOLVE from RUDE AWAKING!!!!! You will not be disappointed bro.
Most Definitely
Pretty much any 1997-98 performance is better than the 2001 mickey mouse edition of that track. Although the improv bit in the middle is fucking sick
I definitely agree bro, however I only mentioned it due to Drum solo from Jimmy Degrasso who was at one time with Y&T or Yesterday & Today. Of which no one has requested a song by them and are a kick ass band of the 80’s and 90’s.

Nick Menza (R.I.P Nick) style ... cymbals on his head. Yes, many differents guitar riffs and battery beats in a single song. This are the Megadeth.
The last guy out of the plane was Dave Mustaine . The drummer , Nick Menza , passed a few years ago. RIP.

No Shirts, They filmed in a Airplane hanger in the summer, it was Very hot. Great CD one of my favs 1990's P.S. I hate Metallica.
Hating Metallica seems silly. I guess I’m blessed to have the ability to enjoy both bands. Thanks to the almighty blesser machine!
Megadeth "When" would be an interesting song to react to. Very underrated song and might even be my personal favourite.
1990 man, 30 years ago best freaking album in the world
1990 right around the Persian gulf war/desert storm- it was during that touchy time in Kuwait. This was very political at the time too I remember
In the "behind the scenes" (vhs, lol) their bassist states the warehouse they're filming in was like 120 degrees. So the shirts got ditched pretty fast.
The fact he’s playing and singing at the same time is ridiculous
Awesome video! Other good songs by are Dystopia, Tornado Of Souls, and Hangar 18.

Right....😎
Dave is the best this song is probably the greatest of all time
Here are a few recommendations
Lord Abortion- Cradle of Filth
Painkiller- Judas Priest
Endgame- Megadeth
Bible Black- Heaven and Hell
Taste of Regret- In Fear and Faith
A Fault Line, A Fault if Mine- Underoath
Facebreaker- Divine Heresy
End of the Line- Devildriver
Huge Megadeth fan, higly recomend listening to more of their other popular songs like Hangar 18, Peace Sells, Five Magics, Tornado of Souls, Elysian Fields and Symphony of Destruction!!!🤘🏻
Elysian Fields is an interesting track thats seldom mentioned by fans.
The whole record is insanely great.
Great reaction! Megadeth reactions are always appreciated. Hanger 18 will blow your mind! Just subbed!
“Is anybody wearing a shirt??” 😂
