    There's no Metallca VS Megadeth. Dave was booted from Metallica for being a drug addict, Dave turned to his religion, got clean and all is forgiven, he even feels bad and apologized for punching James in the mouth when he was fired and James forgave him right back. It's ancient history, you can be a fan of both X-Box and PlaySta...I mean DC and Marv...I mean Metallica and Megadeth.

      Alexander Maue In Dave's case it was street drugs like coke and heroin or trippin' on acid, the rest of the band were drank alcohol and smoked weed but weren't into heavier drugs that Dave was into. They and their label asked him to go into rehab but Dave refused so they cut him loose. It was the reality of being fired that caused Dave to reevaluate his drug use but he also said he thinks that James firing him probably saved his life so in the end, no hard feeling from the band members, only wanna-be poser fans carry on that pointless grudge argument of who's better. They're both decent in their own ways just like the ither members if the Big 4, Anthrax and Slayer, are decent in their own ways, it's time to stop comparing them to each other and enjoy them for what they bring with their own styles.

    There's this whole thing about Metallica vs Megadeth but it's bollocks if you're a true metal fan, which I have been for over 30 yrs. Love both of them, Metallica are more anthemic and have more memorable songs and are brilliant at transitions in songs but Megadeth are smart, faster and technically superior. I've seen both live many times and Metallica are the better performers live but iron maiden are the best. But true metal heads listen to all.

      The riffs are tricky, but they aren't too bad once you get the hang of them. The interesting thing is that for me Marty's solos are actually harder than Dave's, mostly because Marty is cleaner, but Dave's is largely shredding so you can more easily get away with mistakes.
      Overall I wouldn't call it one of the hardest songs on guitar, although I couldn't play it while also singing.

    For some background, Dave Mustane, the lead singer and guitarist, was originally the lead guitar for Metallica, but they fired him before recording their first album and hired Kirk Hammett. The first... ten, fifteen, years of Megadeth was basically just Dave swinging a giant middle finger in the air at them for firing him.

    • @duzzitmatter8679
      @duzzitmatter8679 6 років тому +9

      Yeah I always tell people the same. Mustaine getting booted from Metallica was kind of best case scenario. We got 2 epic bands out of it. Even though he got the boot before Kill'em All, they still had to credit him on almost every song on the album AND songs on Ride the Lightning. So at least forever in fame because of it. Him just being able to say he played a part is almost all of Metallicas best work is a fuck you in it's self.

    So that is the brilliance of Dave Mustaine's mind:
    Hire one of the most insanely fast speed metal guitarists out there, Marty Friedman, and then just to remind everyone Dave absolutely shreds too?
    He shreds LIKE A BEAST on this song.
    Fucking KILLED it.
    And so intense right out of the gate.
    Nick Menza, the badass drummer here, was just this intense all the time.
    To echo someone else's earlier post, criminally underrated.
    I used to have this CD EP with like 3 or 4 Megadeth songs, most of which were not on their regular full length releases.
    Anyway.
    I remember getting to the end of one song that had such high octane manic energy, and the song ended...but Nick just kept slamming away at the kit like the song was still in full swing.
    And it was hilarious because Dave had to yell into his mic "Nick...NICK!" to get Nick to stop whaling away on his kit.
    (whale2--verb, whaled, whal·ing,
    to hit, thrash, or beat soundly)
    Too funny.😂😂😂😂
    RIP Nick Menza.

      Real hip hop has absolutely nothing to do with beats and notes. It’s all about the message. People have forgotten about that because of the shitty music being put out today. Metal is just as garbage in 2018 as rap is. There is literally no good music anymore.

  • @foodit3ms444

    Other giant pillar in your heavy metal journey is Judas Priest. They are one of the original metal bands. I would suggest Painkiller or Breaking the Law.

  • @TheSamuraiApocalypse
    @TheSamuraiApocalypse 6 років тому +93

    I have some other Megadeth suggestions:
    -Tornado of Souls
    -Rust In Peace... Polaris
    -Lucretia
    -Peace Sells
    -Sweating Bullets
    -Angry Again
    -She Wolf
    -Symphony of Destruction
    -Trust
    Most people would probably just suggest Symphony of Destruction cause it's another one of their most popular songs, but all the songs I mentioned and many more are worthy of your time.

    Very nice reaction! Welcome to the incredible world of Megadeth, one the best metal bands ever! Amongst metalheads, I believe "Holy Wars" is their most well-known song, and you can see why. After almost 30 years, it's still arguably their best track, but you can't go wrong with anything from this album ("Rust in Peace") or most of their catalogue.
    You mentioned Dave's voice at some point. It's very hit or miss for people (and certainly not the same after all these years), but what is more impressive is how he manages to sing while playing such complex rhythm guitar parts, most of the time unsynced between each other.

    • @andrewstorey8584
      @andrewstorey8584 6 років тому +1

      Fabio Riato I would say anything from the rust in peace era lineup is the best MegaDeth albums, but peace sells hands down should be his next reaction for MegaDeth. It is one of the strongest songs in all of MegaDeth's catalogue. That or in my darkest hour to get the link between Metallica and MegaDeth that is so intrinsic to the MegaDeth sound.

    "i think his voice is amazing" thats interesting, most new megadeth listeners or holdouts ive met usually say something along the lines of "the musics pretty good but i just cant dig his voice". and i would say theres a pretty significant contingent (myself included) who love megadeth but are in the "jesus christ just hire a vocalist dave" camp.

      @Thought0Ninja 6 років тому +4

      I didn't like his voice when I first heard them in the early to mid 90's but as the years went on I came to love Dave's voice. I can't say I'm a big fan of his later talk-singing though. "Hello me, meet the real me." You guys know what I'm talking about.
      Anyway when it comes to vocalists in general I kind of prefer weird and somewhat offputting vocal styles. 90's era Pumpkins Billy Corgan, Chino Moreno, Jeff Mangum, Trent Reznor, and Richard Patrick for example. Even though I love a shit ton of "normal" vocalists most of the too perfect and clean singers bore me for the most part. Examples are pretty much all pop music singers currently, the majority of "contestants" on shit like American Idol, and Britain's Got Talent plus other similar mass appeal garbage. Also autotune saturated trash.

    Your react to the solo was purrfect! Yeah, Dave is incredible and he deserves more love than he gets...
    I don't really like his voice but it fits perfectly this song. Anyway I can't believe that since I've heard Holy Wars for the first time, it took more than a week before I found love for this song in my heart. I was really stupid back then, billion times more stupid than you!

      I still remember my first drummer I jammed with playing this song, fukin amaz😢!

    Hey Alex, I always enjoy checking out your reaction vids. This came out at a time when I was younger than you are now, and the lyrics particularly are every bit as relevant today as it was when it came out nearly thirty years ago. How many songs can you say that about? Thanks for doing what you do, because kids like you give me hope for the future in the way of free thinking. Keep rockin
