@@Brennenburg666 Dave practiced. Every guitarist practices if they're any good. What Dave meant when he said he never practiced is he didn't do focused practicing such as scales or excercises like some guitarists because he gets bored with it. Dave practiced and practices by playing along to music also known as jamming. Literally noone on earth plays any musical instrument with any degree of real skill without having practiced in some form. It is an acquired skill not something you are born with.
@@jackcoleman1784 Its not just his skill at guitar playing either that makes him talented but rather his genius creativity that people take for granted. He created most of the material for his first 3 albums in less than a year after being kicked out of metallica after basically establishing metallica's early sound and the sound of thrash metal in general. anybody can become good at playing guitar with enough practice and dedication but this level of creativity most people dont have because most people are not interesting or original.
@@jackcoleman1784he already explained it better than you, mustaine said that does a dentist go back home to practice his dentist drills? they're both pros ... major league, dentists are dental professionals ... and metal is megadethized
I'm in my mid 50's now, but as a 19 year old I saw Megadeth at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, Massachusetts. WARLOCK opened for them, and SANCTUARY opened for WARLOCK. My ears rang for a week and my neck was sore for a month....but it was SO effing worth it.
I was in 5th grade, and I remember looking down the alley at the Orpheum, and in big letters it said MEGADETH TONIGHT..... I was instantly intrigued and bought so far so good so what. Never looked back
Chuck Behler was such an underrated drummer. To start as Gars drum tech, then to get thrown into a studio after minimal time to learn drum arrangements to the new material was a Herculean effort. I would like to haved heard him on Rust in Peace. A great player, in my opinion.
@@jerrygomezjr601 - Nobody could compete with Gar, but Behler was great. He was the closest thing to Gar, being his drum tech. Wish Behler had been able to stick around longer.
Stumbled across this on the late night at work. This is gold. Was too you to catch them live with Jeff Young back then. So Far So Good So What an underrated album 💿 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏾
SFSGSW gets trashed all the time for its production, but that's part of what makes it sound so heavy and raw. It's just a constant sonic assault on your ears from start to finish. It's the best album they did besides Peace Sells in my opinion.
This is one of my favorite. That whistling bomb coming down then the explosion then RIPPING INTO THAT OPENING RIFF. first listen I was like WTF IS THIS!!! YOU CAN ONLY LISTEN TO THIS SONG ON FULL BLAST
I was at that tour 18 years old and Apocalypse Now is one of my fave flicks don’t understand how this album gets so overlooked Jeff and Chuck I thought did awesome
This is my Megadeth line up! I have had this video on VHS since 1990, I don't know how many times I have watched it? Thousands and Thousands, never gets old
I wish I was 17 back in the 80s rather than now, I really would have liked seeing them live when they were at their best. Today's popular music is so shit, I want metal to eb dominant again.
I hate it for you, you missed one helluva a decade. IT WAS A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE !! This was when Rap was what covered a candy bar, not some world dominant, no talent hack, soulless , devoid of any organic musicianship, stale, plastic, cheap, disposable "music" genre. We had METAL and we had HARD ROCK, and it was played with a fervor on the air waves of the American radio landscape. It was glorious. This was even back when Metallica still earned a paycheck with effort (imagine that?). Some of the best fucking times of my life - which is why it may not be such a bad deal for you. What I mean is : it was such a great time to be alive, that the after thought , the mere fact that I am early 40's and life completely sucks compared to those days makes the longing for them even more painful. The 2K's are shit. The whole "digital age" is a ruse. Sure, the internet is pretty cool, I guess - I mean we didn't have immediate access to cool shit like this Megadeth video, on demand, when we wanted it - you had to sit for hours in front of the fucking TV and wait for MTV to get amnesia and play something rocking (which was practically NEVER - in the post 1984 MTV era.) . If guys had a disagreement, it was taken care of with your fists - not some demented , pussy way out such as resorting to using a gun : practically UNHEARD OF in the 80's , it never happened. Ah well,.......like I said before: at least I can access it all here on UA-cam, and remember the good times.......
right...underground metal has always been better. Take a look at Devastation in 1993. Right now there are many other local bands that are putting out great stuff. Even when metal reigned supreme the less well known bands tended to make better music.
Clean! Got chills man... just like the first time I heard this song when i was 8... mad respect for Megadeth, real thrash and they don't let you forget it.
Great video. Man the songwriting of those 80s bands was just so much tighter and coherent than bands today. The songs are so focused and well written that bands like Megadeth still seem LIGHT YEARS ahead of most bands today. Kids today got the chops but they can't fucking write for shit...most of em at least...always a few exceptions and maybe Megadeth was the exception back in the day too...
Good bands are always the exception. The trick is good stuff I remembered, while what's popular at the time dies as time passes by. Megadeth's music is timeless, that's the secret
tht was the most epiuc intro ever such an eerie feel & tht is why Dave Mustaine is a god & Megadeth is the best heavy Metal Thrash metal whatever metal band ever!! hands down
I'm not a jealous man but to be a highschool graduate in '88 instead of born that year damn I was in the womb when this took place. glad we have internet long live metal.
My Idol, first album and First Megadeth song I ever heard, wish the whole album was to the high standard of Into The Lungs Of Hell, Set The World Afire, My Last Hour, Mary Jane & Hook In Mouth.
@Денис Белов THIS is the United States calling... Are we reaching? Speak with English bro, there ain't no "Press 1 for English" going on here at UA-cam♾️🌍🇺🇲🇺🇸🇬🇧
@@OscarTorres-dc7gu you can see Jeff Young in the video....same with the album, so far so good...so what is all Jeff, he plays nothing like Chris (Chris is way better IMO)
nothing against this album, was a solid thrash album, but put poland and sammuelsson on lead and drums and wow.... this album wouldve been a fkn monster
I would have liked to hear poland on this record. He was their best lead imo, but Dave is top notch from the first to the last song. Not just in the rhythms, also his solos were perfect.
Man, I fucking love this gig, Dave looks fucking sexy and his voice sounds great and they're young and very energetic. Too bad those Germans couldn't spell for shit, pretty much misspelled all their songs and their name, lol
Man I see these comments from several years ago and it's refreshing because the people in this comment section know what real music is. everyone these days is an elitist or someone who "knows what the best music is" Nah, Megadeth forever.
Saw them open for Dio on this tour... Warlock was the band slated to open. Hate I missed Doro Pesch but equally glad they I got to see Megadeth so early in their career!
Best intro Megadeth ever had.
Next to Good Mourning/Black Friday.
Do you mean the intro to the song, or concert?
+Iron Hammer definitely
+starcraftbw1998 he's talking about the concert intro, not the actual song intro.
Iron Hammer it's orange light off apocalypse now
Yeah. This is REAL METAL. God blessed Dave with a awesome talent.

saw that same tour in West Hartford, CT at the Agora ballroom...first thrash show I ever went to. Fan for life

I was in 5th grade, and I remember looking down the alley at the Orpheum, and in big letters it said MEGADETH TONIGHT.....
I was instantly intrigued and bought so far so good so what. Never looked back
I would say this is the best megadeth performance ever! Dave shredding his guitar like that, his voice is perfect at this stage
Yup, fantastic guitarist. Dave’s voice just had a certain, airy, eerie cadence to it during 1988. Went away after this tour
Peace Sells tour was a better lineup imo, ive seen all the lineups
@@jkbearhunter - that original lineup was special. It was a shame they couldn't keep it together.
Ever? Have you seen them all?
You just can't get enough of these riffs.
Nooo, depends of your level.
this song is truly scary
Even this old VHS video goes hard. Thrash metal gets your blood pumping, especially Megadeth.
This was a historic concert. Deserves a proper mastering and dvd release
I absolutely love this era of Megadeth
This was the time when his addiction became greater.
he was already pretty fucked when peace sells rolled around

Slightly too early for SJW's too.

LMAO
@@WokeBegone stfu terry. Just cause people don’t like your intolerance doesn’t make them SJWs
The arsenal of Megadeth ⭐
dave really beats the shit out of his guitar in terms of playing
I know. I was thinking the same thing. How those guitars can hold up for an entire show is remarkable. They are being absolutely punished every song.
Stumbled across this on the late night at work. This is gold. Was too you to catch them live with Jeff Young back then. So Far So Good So What an underrated album 💿 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏾
Jeff Young was great. He lacked some of the feel that Poland had- but technically Young was excellent. Same with Behler.
I remember coming home throwing this on the stereo and just being blown away by how ferocious this whole album was and is.
SFSGSW gets trashed all the time for its production, but that's part of what makes it sound so heavy and raw. It's just a constant sonic assault on your ears from start to finish. It's the best album they did besides Peace Sells in my opinion.
The guitar tone is so good
Marshall stacks cranked with a rockman x100 rack unit is the tone
I just wish they would have cranked Jeff's guitar up in the mix.
Imagine being there and seeing this live
Good God that'd been FUCKING SICK
I kinda did - different venue but about the same time frame. And yeah, it was epic as fuck. One of my favorite memories for my entire life.
Sort of did, Well this tour anyway Edinburgh Playhouse 88
I imagine that all the time.
One of the best songs from Megadeth
This is one of my favorite. That whistling bomb coming down then the explosion then RIPPING INTO THAT OPENING RIFF. first listen I was like WTF IS THIS!!! YOU CAN ONLY LISTEN TO THIS SONG ON FULL BLAST

@@secondsofsilence_music it's my favorite from So Far So Good So What.
The guitar tone is SO sick! Also the bullet belt is forever cool.
One of the best live versions of Set The World Afire
Mustaine’s vocals were amazing live on this track.
The way Jeff played was so funny 😂
Dude looked like a hair metal guitarist.
Yeah really 😂 his standing also a bit weird like In My Darkest Hour video.
He is from Spinal Tap
@@trolliumTV omg 😂
I was at that tour 18 years old and Apocalypse Now is one of my fave flicks don’t understand how this album gets so overlooked Jeff and Chuck I thought did awesome
im surprised their nuts still work, mine are hurting just looking at them jeans
ressy That’s how Dave hits those high notes.
@@Ry_weis lmao
The ending solo is one of my all-time favs!! 🤘🤘🤘

One of the best metal intros ever
Some top notch guitar shredding in the intro of this song.
Dave was killing it here!

Hook in mouth tackle. That's a awesome name. Did you name it after the megadeth song

This song is fucking great. The most underrated Megadeth song ever.
Young Dave could sure take loads of drugs and still out on a good show! Glad he's sober and still with us.
This oppening riff 🔥🔥🔥 pure TRHASH 🤟🏻
My favorite line-up and album from Megadeth! Jeff Young, the two Daves" and Chuck fuckin Behler. So Far So Good So What!
This lineup kicks all the ass. They tend to get overshadowed by Chris & Gar, or Marty & Nick. But this was a very special lineup
Ahhh 1988... There you are 🤟🤟🤟👊👊👊👊
This is my fav Megadeth album... With Chuck and Jeff 👍👍

Mustaine’s talent is undeniable, but I think you can add a lot of coke and speed to the mix on those early albums as well.
Go listen to ERRA's self titled album and let me know if your mind hasn't changed
@@joshuamitchell3511 there are always exceptions. That’s a great album indeed!
After this INTRO I expected Michael Biehn to show up shooting terminators...I mean...it's so 80's. Love it!!!!!! Almost cried!
Hell of a song! Still love it even after 30 year!!
always been my fav megadeth tune, it gives the idea of the end very well
one of my Megadeth favorites off one of my favorite albums of theirs
The pure and utter 80s in that intro brings me great joy
I love how all Hell breaks loose at 1:10 the bomb goes off then
Dave and Jeff Haul Ass On GUITAR Fucking Metal
now this is METAL at its finest.....
What a killer song!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
4:30 is a fragment of their performance of "Wake Up Dead" when Dave sings "I've had too much to drink." I guess it was a glitch or something.
chris19fire noticed that to
Like he is sipping with his hand?
Amazing Megadeth is the best Band Of the world
One of the best songs ever..probably my fav album as a kid.,I played this cassette so much I wore it out.
Fuckin awesome! Pretty good quality recording too for early Megadeth!
The stage is awesome too!
Savage and brutal song
Dave seems like one of the greats that we would’ve lost when he was like29 like Kurt cobain
Wow they did a good job - a complex song and one of their best ever
I saw them on 2/4/88 in Lubbock, TX, they opened for DIo and it was a killer fucking show all around!
Love to see Jeff Young.

You missed everything. That sucks.
Perfect portrayal of thrash metal in its glory days.
Totally different vibe than Metallica. Megadeth were the kings of thrash.
just imagine their music if he never left metalica prolly would’ve never sold out and we would’ve had so much great albums
