Ryan and George...you fellas are gonna LOVE Lucretia. The groove this song lays down complemented by the dueling guitar solos between Marty and Dave are absolutely ridiculous!
@@conorbyers3746and Dave at his soloing worst by contrast. It was like hearing broken glass dragged across a chalkboard. As a songwriter Dave is keen, as a soloist it’s best that he left the majority of that work to the experts.
What do you think he just stands around until the outro...they both play rhythm, I don't think Dave has any leads in this particular song. Any exposed parts of rhythm in the beginning of the song is Dave.. So it's Dave's rhythm "solos"
What’s crazy is that Dave is the one behind the riff composition, and he not only plays the riffs, but sings over them. Absolutely unbelievable skill and talent.
Saw Megadeth play this album in it’s entirety for the 20th anniversary of its release. It was total fire. From start to finish they didn’t stop until they were finished and Dave said “ And that was Rust In Peace” and then they played for about another half an hour before they ended their set. Totally awesome!!!
You just made me remember my teen years when i saw their announcement for the RIP anniversary and also the first time we saw Ellefson back (in a pro recording tho) and i waited for it like a kid waiting to open presents on christmas, and then when i got the DVD it was like wild ride, i know people give shit to Broderick just for not making orgasm faces while playing, but damn that man played every solo almost if not perfectly.
Am I the only one who sees that the main comment was posted 4 months ago? While at the same time UA-cam is showing me that the video was posted 5 hours ago.
This album is the peak in terms of technical musicianship combined with cohesive songwriting. Doesn’t mean there are not more technical bands or albums, or albums with better songwriting, but this is the best of both worlds. An album where Thrash guys and Prog guys can shake hands, while guys coming from the pop perspective (much alike you guys) can still appreciate the work without going overboard on the technicality. In my opinion, this album is without a doubt Top 5 metal albums of all time.
The album sounds like shit and the songs are moronic. Dave was zonked out of his mind writing this stuff. There are limits to stupidity and Mustaine crossed them this time too far. This is not technical nor ambitious: this is pretentious wankery. And worst of all: IT IS BORING, despite being played at enormous speed and having Friedman as a lead guitarist
They did play a lot of their songs at a faster tempo during those days to fit in as many songs as possible in their time limited set list. The early 90's were Megadeth's best days as far as live performances go.
The whole band of this era was amazing and dedicated to the little things that made all these songs so memorable. This record, justice and vulgar are the mountain top. Sound track of my youth, it was glorious.
Watching people appreciate this record the way it deserves will never get old. This record is so good on a technical level that I cant put into words. But this record is one in a million. It set the standard for thrash that IMO has yet to be topped. Every instrument is masterfully played.
In some spare time, I'd recommend finding this live version - you can really appreciate how technical these guys are. They hit the stops 100%, and play it as tight as the album. You know these guys would go in the studio ready to bang these out.
You have to remember Dave has to sing and play this live which is nuts, Dave wrote all the riffs in this song, Marty plays the solo at the end. The whole album is a stone cold classic and some of the best Thrash ever recorded.
I have been listening to metal music for 30 years now and this is still one of the coolest song beginnings of all time for me. I do not just say this, I actually listen to this song several times a year.
As a guitar player of 12 years, yeah you're absolutely right gents, this is one of the most difficult Megadeth songs. What a blast to play though, even if my picking arm is hurting.
This song is THE ONE for me. The lyrics, the speed, the insane guitar riffs that seem more difficult than a solo. God I love this album. Greatest metal album of all time for me.
Dude my favorite album any genre anytime anywhere...hell yeh. Bought this album the day it came out on cassette tape and still have it and still play it in my garage while doing oil changes etc etc. \m/ MeGaDeTh til DeAtH!
If you want pure energy and technical ability. This album is number one. Different beats and rythms all over the place. You cant beat it. That's why it's my favorite. You have to listen to everything going on. Even the rythm guitars during the solos kick ass.
Some of the more accessible Megadeth songs geared towards radio airplay - 'Almost honest' ... 'Breadline' ... 'Angry again' ... 'Symphony of destruction' ... 'A tout le monde'... 'Trust' ... 'Countdown to extinction' ... 'The Scorpion' ... '99 ways to die'🤘🤘🔥🔥
When you do the last 2 tracks on this album, you should do them at the same time as Dawn Patrol isn't really a stand alone song. You should really check out more of their 90's and 00's stuff, specifically the title track from Youthanasia (for the groove). You'd probably dig a lot of stuff from Cryptic Writings, and maybe some bits from United Abominations and Endgame.
Whole album is fire. I used to blast this in my car, the original not the remastered, it did not leave my cd player for years at a time. In fact I've left this CD, I have multiples, in cars that were totalled.
Man seeing you guys react to this was so fun, made me remember when i first heard this for the first time .. Hope you do more Megadeth, especially Youthanasia album, since it was the perfect combination of heavy and groove, and Dave sounded great too.
Megadeth and Marty Friedman slaps so hard. I was lucky to see them both on stage last summer at Wacken Open Air. Can't describe how epic that moment was, to see my favorite band reunite with my favorite guitarist on stage!
Ryan - Check out Trust from Cryptic Writings (whole album is killer) if you need a song to "bang" for Megadeth that's one of several that are in my go to list.. Another I personally like is Angry Again or Almost Honest...
Haven't watched you guys in a while! Great reaction, Dave usually writes and carries all the rhythm. Megadeth is definitely a band that requires more active listening to enjoy. Their later albums are very good for just casual listening.
FYI- when Megadeth remastered their back catalog in 2004, they added guitar solo credits in the liner notes/lyrics. You can track down who plays which solo between Friedman and Mustaine (if you can catch when they trade off, lol!)
Marty was over half of solos and you can tell when it's Marty as it will have a certain exotic sound to it. I was in 8th grade when this came out and this album still holds up. Try playing this album in the gym.
KILLER song. Very glad you listened to the original version. The version on the remastered Rust in Peace cranks up the low end of the bass and it muddies that quick riff Ellefson does before the last verses to the point that it might as well not be there at all.
I bought rust in peace when I was a teen in 95 it was my second megadeth album. It didn't leave my discman for a month. Still a complete masterpieces album I have to play start to finish.
Grwat reaction to this song. Listened to it with respect. Such a fluid song. Needs to keep going. Lucretia and Rust in Peace are great too. What an album!
Balls to the wall one of the best Megadeth songs ever made, on arguably their best album. This video was a must after you guys had a long hiatus in reviewing songs from Rust in Peace. Thanks for sharing! Polaris is another classic too.
The album, after this Countdown to Extinction, is probably right up your alley for songs that you just want to play, this is definitely there most creative album, it was ahead of its time, Countdown was more appealing to the average listener but still had thrashy moments
Hey you guys: great reaction to a great track! A song that would most likely make your playlist is “Symphony of Destruction” and maybe “Peace Sells” for its bass intro, the lyrics and the chorus! Would love to see your reactions to any of these songs.
RIP Nick Menza
Banger
The best.
For sure, the legend, RIP.
So goooood
God bless him. Legendary
Y'all are gonna love Lucretia
Ryan and George...you fellas are gonna LOVE Lucretia. The groove this song lays down complemented by the dueling guitar solos between Marty and Dave are absolutely ridiculous!
Agreed!
Lucretia is the best riff they've ever done. Criminally underrated song
Lucretia is Marty at his absolute best.
@@conorbyers3746and Dave at his soloing worst by contrast. It was like hearing broken glass dragged across a chalkboard. As a songwriter Dave is keen, as a soloist it’s best that he left the majority of that work to the experts.
Marty Friedman just played the solo at the end. All the rhythm stuff was written by Dave
Every MD song ever lol
Dave, alongside James, is one of the best rhythm guitarrists of all time. Period.
You are correct sir! @@AlemaoMEGAReimer
What do you think he just stands around until the outro...they both play rhythm, I don't think Dave has any leads in this particular song. Any exposed parts of rhythm in the beginning of the song is Dave.. So it's Dave's rhythm "solos"
Dave is The Mastermind. Great at solos and far beyond great at riffs
This album was absolute fire, still is to this day, in the top ten metal albums in history.
It’s considered a Thrashterpiece.
hahahahaha@@OpnDoarPlcy
@@OpnDoarPlcy Niiiiicccce!
Top 5 in my book 🤘
Undeniable.
The Megadeth song you guys are looking for with the groove and the crazy transitions is Wake up Dead! 👌
They did it and didn’t like it as much as we thought they would
the final riff on wake up dead is one of the very very few megadeth sounds groovy and stank face material
@@TBass050is that reaction only on patreon?
@@The_Aleph_Null The final riff in Wake Up Dead is one of Dave's best.
@@4md17 must be
Haven't heard this track in ages, forgot how ridiculously tight this song is, some wicked start-stop-starts, this was the peak Megadeth lineup
So glad you played the ORIGINAL version ! ! !
What’s crazy is that Dave is the one behind the riff composition, and he not only plays the riffs, but sings over them. Absolutely unbelievable skill and talent.
Dave can sing over riffs he plays that Kirk Hammet couldn't even play without singing over them.
@@revylokesh1783 lol true, I love Kirk but he’s nowhere near papa Dave
Sings is a strong word
@wiltonribeiro616 hahahaha very true - more like "squeezes noise out of himself"
What do you expect from the man who created the genre.
Saw Megadeth play this album in it’s entirety for the 20th anniversary of its release. It was total fire. From start to finish they didn’t stop until they were finished and Dave said “ And that was Rust In Peace” and then they played for about another half an hour before they ended their set. Totally awesome!!!
That was an awesome tour. Also with Anthrax and Slayer, who played Seasons front to back for its 20th anniversary. Such a great show.
Seen Dave many time. Clash of the Titans first.....Hampton va. With slayer and anthrax
I caught that tour in Lubbock! I went to that show over my senior prom, hahaha.
You just made me remember my teen years when i saw their announcement for the RIP anniversary and also the first time we saw Ellefson back (in a pro recording tho) and i waited for it like a kid waiting to open presents on christmas, and then when i got the DVD it was like wild ride, i know people give shit to Broderick just for not making orgasm faces while playing, but damn that man played every solo almost if not perfectly.
"That shit was POTENT" best adjective to describe this one lmao
Dave played the rhythms Marty played the solos. Dave is an absolute rhythmic monster
Yeah, Marty was a great lead, but Mustaine, as a rhythm, is one of, if not, the best. His leads are also insane, and come at a machine gun pace.
Marty also plays rhythm
Won the Riff God award! LOL
Dave does write the rhythms for the most part, but they trade solos back and forth. Dave is absolutely no slouch in the lead guitar Department
Am I the only one who sees that the main comment was posted 4 months ago?
While at the same time UA-cam is showing me that the video was posted 5 hours ago.
You’ll love Lucretia.
And for other Megadeth songs - Train of Consequences and Skin O’ My Teeth are my recommendations.
They should just react to all Megadeth
They’d dig Elysian Fields as well
Dave Mustaine wrote all the riffs in this. There is a demo for this, before Marty even joined the band.
Most of his solos were note-for-note what Chris Poland played as well, but Marty's tone is amazing.
Dave is the Riff Master!! Only behind The Great Tony Iommi!! Hatfield in a close third
*Hetfield
Hit us with another Ozzy era Black Sabbath. It's been a long time since the last. Children of the Grave, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath will be auto-playlist for them. Especially the riffs at the end
Killing Yourself To Live and Sabbra Cadabra and just....... the whole album
Yessss...Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
I was thinking N.I.B, its something I KNOW they would lose their minds over
@@TheScorpia12 yeah, for sure. And people don’t request that one much

Agree 100%! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very true.
San Diego 1990 live video will tell you how this song is basically all Dave. That video is pure raw energy
Greatest album EVER recorded.....of any & all genres. I've blasted this constantly for over 30 years.
So relieved you guys did the original version and not the remaster 😂
Megadeth played this song live in 1990 at a much higher tempo than the original and nailed the whole thing from start to finish.
They did play a lot of their songs at a faster tempo during those days to fit in as many songs as possible in their time limited set list. The early 90's were Megadeth's best days as far as live performances go.
I don,t think MUCH higher is possible LOL
The whole band of this era was amazing and dedicated to the little things that made all these songs so memorable. This record, justice and vulgar are the mountain top. Sound track of my youth, it was glorious.
Watching people appreciate this record the way it deserves will never get old. This record is so good on a technical level that I cant put into words. But this record is one in a million. It set the standard for thrash that IMO has yet to be topped. Every instrument is masterfully played.

My gym music for 20 years !!!
I don’t always run half marathons, but when I do, I listen to Megadeth
I still listen to this album several times a week when driving to the gym.
Yo thought only i listened Megadeth while training, Mustaine’s music gives so much energy that fits perfectly
Megadeth and Metallica !! No need for caffeine.... lol @@TheGabrielSevero123
Right !! No need for caffeine ..lol@@TheSeanMichael
Top 3 metal (any genre) album all time. One of the few albums I grew up with that I don’t get tired of. Sheer excellence.
Agree
We in the big leagues now
You would think Marty was carrying the riffs but you’d be wrong… Dave’s the king 🔥
Rhythm is harder than 80% of the solos ever written. Singing with this rhythm is only 0.01% chance you can do it
Watch it live one day. Dace playing those crazy riffs while singing is nuts.
Dace wrote most of Killem All
Every breaks, every single rythm changes make our heart miss a beat. I love to see your expression guys taking each of them right in the face!
to me Megadeth - the scorpion is one I just love to crank out anytime
You have to remember Dave has to sing and play this live which is nuts, Dave wrote all the riffs in this song, Marty plays the solo at the end. The whole album is a stone cold classic and some of the best Thrash ever recorded.
Shewolf live is one of the best metal performances ever. I'd love to see you guys review that one, one day.
George would freaking flip over that drum solo.
I have been listening to metal music for 30 years now and this is still one of the coolest song beginnings of all time for me. I do not just say this, I actually listen to this song several times a year.
As a guitar player of 12 years, yeah you're absolutely right gents, this is one of the most difficult Megadeth songs. What a blast to play though, even if my picking arm is hurting.
Agreed. I have been playing 20 years and this song is a burner.
See the 1990 San Diego version of this song, they almost play it at twice the speed, imagine that 😅
Your Holy Wars video is how I discovered your channel.
This song is THE ONE for me. The lyrics, the speed, the insane guitar riffs that seem more difficult than a solo. God I love this album. Greatest metal album of all time for me.
All of that guitar work is Dave
Not the solos.
Pretty sure Marty also laid down rhythm tracks for the record but yeah, it's Dave's riffs. Marty's solo
@@anish3183 Dave always plays some of the solos.
Dude my favorite album any genre anytime anywhere...hell yeh. Bought this album the day it came out on cassette tape and still have it and still play it in my garage while doing oil changes etc etc. \m/ MeGaDeTh til DeAtH!
One of my favorite Megadeth songs. A great workout for guitar players.
MEGADETH=Guitar Supremacy.
Megadeth will forever be oe of the greatest Metal bands/bands ever, and it is well deserved!
This is the song I want playing as I blast open the doors to a buffet!!!
ashes in your mouth off of countdown to extinction. groove, technical, dueling leads. great album closer. pinnacle.
I went crazy when they played this live in Toronto 2007. Omg
If you want pure energy and technical ability. This album is number one. Different beats and rythms all over the place. You cant beat it. That's why it's my favorite. You have to listen to everything going on. Even the rythm guitars during the solos kick ass.
This song is always on my lifting playlist, and it was my favorite on this album from the day I bought it.
Megadeth - Trust!!!
Song that will absilutely will be on your playlist! Song is so groovy🤟
Especially live in Sofia.,best live version.
If say it was probably Dave keeping the rhythm tight there
Some of the more accessible Megadeth songs geared towards radio airplay - 'Almost honest' ... 'Breadline' ... 'Angry again' ... 'Symphony of destruction' ... 'A tout le monde'... 'Trust' ... 'Countdown to extinction' ... 'The Scorpion' ... '99 ways to die'🤘🤘🔥🔥
Please skip breadline though 😂
@@VitoVitonerLanci It's a good song!
From countdown, I'd add "This Was My Life"
@@sumonjamal1653 it's definitely one of the songs ever made
I would add High Speed Dirt, Skin O' My Teeth, and Sweating Bullets. I love those songs and think they are very accessible
You guys might like the songs

Reckoning Day live is sped up and it's fantastic. The one in Phoenix.
THIS! You have to listen to Dawn Patrol and Rust in Peace at the same time!
@@evanhooper1 it's old patron videos dude, they did it months ago
Whole album is fire. I used to blast this in my car, the original not the remastered, it did not leave my cd player for years at a time. In fact I've left this CD, I have multiples, in cars that were totalled.
2:33 answer: it's very hard
Dave's vocals are perfect for this song, and all of RIP. The way he spits out "Epidemic" is fuckin awesome.
this is my favourite song from Rust in Peace. It's relentless. And the song structure is very unique.
I saw them live in Sydney in 91, I rekon I was the youngest person at the show, 14, and it blew my mind, RIP Nick Menza.
Lucky to of seen that lineup I was bit young and hadn’t got in to them till maybe 94 and first live show at the roundhouse Sydney 05.
Dave is the monster guys. He wrote the whole riff stuff
That drum fill is next level... even by today's standards. heavy jazz influence... complex guitar and bass as well. superb!!!
Man seeing you guys react to this was so fun, made me remember when i first heard this for the first time .. Hope you do more Megadeth, especially Youthanasia album, since it was the perfect combination of heavy and groove, and Dave sounded great too.
Megadeth and Marty Friedman slaps so hard. I was lucky to see them both on stage last summer at Wacken Open Air. Can't describe how epic that moment was, to see my favorite band reunite with my favorite guitarist on stage!
Friedman played in a band a called “Cacophony”, along with Jason Becker, when they were teenagers. They were phenomenal.
This album just never gets old.
Dave is a rhythm master .
As a Megadeth hardcore fan i have to say that i wish you could see my smile now.. Keep it up boys!!!
The slowed down groove of Addicted to Chaos off Youthanasia (1994) would be playlist for you guys.
my fav song from this " masterpiece" album!!!
Thank you thank you guys for reacting to the original and not the remasters!
Favorite song from that album!
As far as I know, all rhyth guitars were recorded by Mutaine, Friedman mostly recorded solos.
I just learned this song and was sad you guys didn't have a reaction. Made my day
Ryan - Check out Trust from Cryptic Writings (whole album is killer) if you need a song to "bang" for Megadeth that's one of several that are in my go to list.. Another I personally like is Angry Again or Almost Honest...
Trust is a good choice. Also This Was My Life. I feel like they would like that one
I totally agree man. Especially Trust and Almost Honest.
If ever there needed to be MORE proof that Megadeth is the pinnacle of the Trash mountain it is this album.
Haven't watched you guys in a while! Great reaction, Dave usually writes and carries all the rhythm. Megadeth is definitely a band that requires more active listening to enjoy. Their later albums are very good for just casual listening.
This song should be labelled "THIS SHIT was POTENT!" 🔥🔥🔥
Bros. You hit ALL the great points!! This is one of my favourite Megadeth tracks. Your facial expressions 😂. I totally feel you!!
The fact that Dave sang while playing this shit is insane 🔥
The lyrics to Lucretia are Dave’s grandmother’s recipe for candied yams, you’ll love it
Countdown to extinction is one of their more mainstream albums. You won't be disappointed!
FYI- when Megadeth remastered their back catalog in 2004, they added guitar solo credits in the liner notes/lyrics. You can track down who plays which solo between Friedman and Mustaine (if you can catch when they trade off, lol!)

this is the song where the riff is more difficult than the solo
Symphony of Destruction might be a song Ryan would listen to on his own time. It’s very accessible.
I wanna say that whole album it much more accessible to the mainstream. It was my 1st MD album. I bet it was for most people.
@@danbardos3498 Rust in Peace is my fav MD album, but I can see how non thrash lovers might need some time to digest it.
Countdown to extinction it's a good one too.... What you think?
I believe they did it a few years ago but only for their Patreon users. I was hoping to hear their reaction to it.
They'd love Architecture Of Aggression, especially the bass riff before solo.
Dave is the one doing the riffs and singing at the same time, Marty was doing the solo. Dave is a skilled.
Not just Megadeth , but to drive home how good musicians like these guy are , they sound just as good live , as recorded, when I seen them anyway .
I bought rust in peace when I was a teen in 95 it was my second megadeth album. It didn't leave my discman for a month. Still a complete masterpieces album I have to play start to finish.

I totally did
Quite possibly, the greatest album of all-time, across all genres of music, let alone Heavy Metal or Thrash Metal or Speed Metal, etc.
Dave sings and plays that at the same time …
A masterpiece of rhythm guitar playing.
I just saw Marty Friedman in Vegas at Vamp'd. Unbelievable talent.
