I’m a black dude who’s first concert was Megadeth/Iron Maiden in 88 as a teen. Imagine seeing these dudes live your first time out. After that (for me) it was heavy or nothing, lol. Music is universal.
Color doesn't have anything to do with enjoying music!? I'm a white guy and grew up with the motown and the blues and always have had an open mind for all music!! Enjoy the metal!! Good, fun music!
For me because I am a musician and a huge fan of music period I think it's great when people learn about the newest thing but then they either forget or want to say harsh comments like these guys sound like shit compared to the newer musicians and I just think it shows ignorance because because in every style and type of music there were generations of others that struggled and suffered to make the music we enjoy now as big as it is.
my sentiments exactly! I'm laughing at the reaction to each rhythm change -I know this album inside out and I'm rocking back and forth -have subscribed..its great to watch these guys!
This song blew my mind!!! I'm a 30 yr black hip hop/rnb/soul/disco lover but this joint just blew me away. I stumbled upon metal and now I'm in love! The production Guys... the guitarist, the drummer.....OMG This just might be the greatest piece of music and I'm still new to the genre. I'm grateful for "Lost in Vegas", I'm woke now. Talent is everywhere!
Welcome To The Metal Club My Friend, you’ll mind many many many different styles of Metal, check out Decline of Western Civilization, and Sam Dunn’s Metal a Headbangers Journey, Iron Maiden: Flight 666 and Rush: Beyond the lighted Stage, these are all Documentaries and can be found on UA-cam
And as far as I'm concerned, the best that Metallica ever was, was when Dave was in the band. After Master of Puppets, I think they got progressively worse.
Most incredible thing about this song is Dave Mustaine is singing while playing that incredibly difficult rhythm. It's not the left hand that's moving super fast, it's the right. He's banging out 32nd notes on the low E constantly. And it's Mustaine that also plays the really fast solo near the end. Marty Friedman plays all the crazy arpeggio laden leads and the quick acoustic flamenco style lead before the Punishment Due. You guys are right tho it's all extremely difficult stuff to play. Anyways, legendary song, Dave Mustaine is a musical genius.
I wouldn't say the rhythm is extremely difficult or anything (at least on guitar, cant say much for anything else) but Dave Mustaine always amazes me with him singing, AND playing riffs i have trouble on without it. Another fantastic example is Take no Prisoners (or any song on this album), off of this album as well (also marty friedman is also imo one of the greats).
What will completely blow your minds is Mustaine and Friedman are playing those rhythm sections in tandem, very hard for one, extremely hard for 2 at exact tempo, first time Marty was ever asked to play like that, he was used to harmonising guitars..it is one of the greatest metal tunes of all time, if not the greatest..love their expressions, goes to show great music is great music.
Ik man no one really realizes that mustaine is playing rhythm and singing I can can play this song on guitar and is almost impossible to song along even on the lesser parts it takes incredible talent to do what megadeth did they are probably the MOST talented band in metal history they are definitely underrated in my opinion
Those 2 bands were so influential to me in high school. 80s and 90s music was the most diverse and excepted. I am a fan from hip hop, classic rock, metal, grunge, rap rock collaboration. So much good music. Some faded but those time gave me respect for so many genres.
That's the way I feel. We ended up with two incredible metal bands. It would almost be a shame if Dave remained in Metallica, to think that we wouldn't have David Ellefson's insane bass parts, wouldn't have probably went in the direction of the Black Album, which hate it if you want, but I'll fight it tooth and nail. I just think that in this case for sure, it happened for a reason. Mustaine was meant to do his own thing and Lars and James were meant to do theirs.
+Paul Scheidel There isn't even an ordinary song on the album. Every song brings something unique and different to the table and all of them all just balls out masterpieces. Song-writing unlike any other album from the metal mastermind himself.
Dave, at 60, just played a show in France at Hellfest, and yes, they closed the show with Holy Wars!! Dave even stepped up to lead guitar.... unbelievable!!
Dave's always done solos. That's nothing new. He's an incredibly advanced rhythm player, and his solo formula is if the rhythm line is advance the other guitarist takes the solo, and Dave plays the rhythm. If the rhythm line is simple, Dave takes the solo and the other guitarist plays the rhythm..
I normally find "reaction" videos annoying. But there's something endearing about watching these two guys get their faces melted in real time with their first Megadeth song. They picked a hell of a first one to listen to, for sure.
I've been a metal guy for over 25 years and hearing you guys talk about these songs with such raw, unbiased honesty is a truly phenomenal experience. In some strange way, you make me feel as if the music is new to me again. Just amazing; best channel I've come across in a long, long time. Thank you.
i've never really listened to megadeth before. i lover metallica, pantera, judas, maiden, etc... but these guys opens doors for people who are a bit biased, like me. love them
drownedcreation You said 25 years so I assumed you were much older lol. I'm 23 but I've liked heavier music since I was 6 so that's kinda weird. I actually dove into music as a hobby when I was 13-14 though so still a lot less time
The best part about Mustaine's vocals is that he wasn't even his first choice for vocals. He was his own last resort. And look how it worked. One of the most unique voices in the genre.
It's a shame he didn't look after his voice when touring like most musicians did because it couldn't last a show when I saw them back in 2001, in fact the vocals ruined it. I love his voice on the studio albums though, always have.
He was fantastic on Countdown To Extinction and Youthanasia when it comes to vocals, with Youthanasia being their only album where Dave is genuinely singing, not yelling, grunting, rapping or screaming the lyrics. After 1999 however it went downhill.
This was Megadeath’s show opener for years, he now uses it in his encores. This was definitely his best work with true musicianship from all members and RIP drummer Nick Menza
That is so unbelievably cool. Rust In Peace has always been my favorite megadeth song and your reaction was super enjoyable. Also cheers from Vegas...well Henderson but it's close enough.
LOST IN VEGAS CATS- FANTASTIC HONEST REACTIONS!!! PLEASE REVIEW-" SISTER ROSETTA THARPE"- didn't it rain. PLEASE GIVE THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY A LISTEN. MUSIC UNITES US ALL. ua-cam.com/video/MnAQATKRBN0/v-deo.html
Guys, I've been listening to this song for what, 25 years? I think that other than the very first time I heard it myself, I never enjoyed it as much as I did listening to it with you today)))
Daniel Lemberg its like we can share the excitement a lot better together life is mysterious theres more than you think in all the empty spaces you percieve we radiant certain frequencies that allow us to feel the atmosphere around us
Daniel Lemberg its like we can share the excitement a lot better together life is mysterious theres more than you think in all the empty spaces you percieve we radiant certain frequencies that allow us to feel the atmosphere around us
I grew up listening to this song, but watching you guys discover it for the first time really breathed new life into it for me and actually deepened my appreciation for it.
danger5oh I just started watching their channel and yeah seeing how they appreciate the song made me break down in my own head really just how great it is.
Indeed, one of the most underappreciated skills that Dave Mustaine possess. So what if his voice isn't as appealing or powerful as other metal singers but, he's extremely skilled.
And at a period in his life where he was doing so much heroin and coke he eventually almost lost his arm from it. Imagine what he could do sans those demons.
Dan Marshall, perhaps sans demons...sans inspiration. Hence the rampant use and damn near required use of heroine to be successful in the realms of extreme music
I've seen the documentary with Dave talking about, he fell asleep fucked up one night with his arm lent over the back of a chair and was leaning on it, he damaged his radial ulnar nerve and it meant he couldn't pull his hand upwards which ofcourse is vital for playing guitar. But with lots and lots of physical therapy he managed to regain use of the hand, but he had to kinda change how he played abit because it never truly came back. Similar thing happened to steve vai, he damaged nerves in his picking hand and hence he uses a kind of different technique for picking.
Yes, they’re right. This song is hard to play, takes an advanced skill set to whip this out. I can’t even fathom how Dave plays this fast and sings the melody at the same time, holy shit, hats off to him.
yo I'm a bit late, if you're still wondering, the reason he can sing and play these rhythms at the same times Is because the rhythm pattern that you play with your hands is the same rhythm pattern that you sing, and that's awesome because I also thought it was practically impossible to play and sing at the same time. I learned In a few months, this song gives you the illusion that it's hard but only if you didn't lock in your rhythm with practice...
Honestly, when I first heard this song, I kind of felt the same way. I mean, there are Maiden songs, Sabbath songs and many more I am sure I am forgetting where there is at least 1.5 minutes (or more) of just shredding instrumentals.....then the vocals kick in.....and you're like "Holy Shit"......I totally forgot!!!!
I think I've watched this video from beginning to end maybe 5 times. I think I appreciate the fact that you're giving your complete unbiased attention to the entire song.
I saw them on 9-2-22 in Houston it was awesome! Played it at the end as well with peace sells and we’ll be back during the middle 🙌❤️ it was the best time hope to see them again!
Dudes, this video was recommended to me by UA-cam, so I clicked on it. I’m stuck recovering in a hospital so I’m obviously on a lot of UA-cam. I’m a lifelong metal fan and I play in bands but as a musician I like the whole spectrum and find something in everything. It’s clear you guys are obviously musicians or producers or something so to see you react so honestly, but also break it down the way you did, was great. Watching you get to enjoy something for the first time was just so much fun to watch. I really loved watching your reaction to the musicianship of what many metal heads consider the “classic” and most talented lineup / time period of Megadeth. Thanks guys, this really made my day.
This song coupled with a lot of opiates and a passion to play like Dave is what made me a megadeth fan. For years I didn't like them because Dave was a dick but once I really tried it I was hooked lol.
MikeMetalBelgium. It is so nice to see their reactions the amazement the admiration the recognition of this unearthly talent. Having heard this song hundreds of times you tend to take it for granted. This resets your experience of this masterpiece. Love it 🔥🔥💯👍
Anyone who tells you this stuff, is 'easy' has never picked up an instrument. Believe none of it. Even an accomplished player would never make such an ignorant comment. I've been playing guitar since the age of 9. I'll be 60 in a few weeks. To play a piece perfectly is not 'easy'..........even when it may sound easy.
@@ballbustinbravo, Those aren't triplets. Those are reverse gallops. They alternate between 8th and 16th notes. You'll see if you take a look at a notation.
I love how music can bring us together. These guys who aren't really fans of the genre can connect with metal heads - I hope metal heads show the same appreciation for true musical talent in other genres themselves.
Agreed. That would be awesome. But let's face it, many metal heads don't even like that much metal. They like the bands they like, and every other metal band are poseurs or sellouts, not trve, real metal. So, I doubt that the people I'm referring to will give much credence to other genres, when they can't even be bothered to appreciate the different facets of the music they claim to love so much. I, however, could be wrong. Just my 2 cents. Cheers!
I consider myself open minded. My comfort zone is thrash, metal and grunge. However, I can appreciate and I also like and listen to some hip hop, blues, pop, rock, etc. I don't care the genre, If I like it I like it, If I like it too much, I give it a shot to the band. It IS that simple though Most metalheads however tend to be really close minded and some of them even throw shit to other bands and genres, it's really sad
I love coming back to this video every now and again. Reminds me that Holy Wars is quite possibly the crowning thrash achievment, the high water mark, the mona lisa. So singular in it's greatness that it holds the distinction of being the song that woke you dudes on real metal and thus gave me my favorite youtube channel of all time. So grateful you guys discovered this and even more grateful you discovered it in front of an audience that needed to see you find it. You guys are doing awesome work. Never stop. Freethinker forever.
YES! Thank you! Intercessory prayer is the best thing in this world. Even if you don't believe Christian, the earnest prayers of an honest person will AVAIL MUCH!
52 here. Thinking about all of the eras and sub genres we have lived through, it is difficult to argue with that. Dave never went mainstream like Metallica did. A little commercial maybe, but not like they did.
@@ROZWAY_II Yep, a single full album which failed. Compare that to Metallica who went completely mainstream ten years earlier and never fully went back.
Holy Wars is still one of the greatest songs ever. I remember seeing the video on MTV'S Headbanger's Ball back in 1990 when it first came out at 12 years old. It blew me away too and this song still holds up today and it always probably will. Dave Mustaine is one of the greatest songwriters in the music industry ever. It is very incredible for him to be playing guitar and sing the songs he has written. Dave Mustaine deserves the respect he gets at his skill.
By far one of the greatest song ever created, Megadeth will always be in my heart, in terms of technical level megadeth is a superior ONE, that combination Mustaine and Friedman is simply the best I've ever seen and those drums Nick Menza I love that dude I miss him so much.
Joseph 221b very cool man. I'm a bit too young to have met them then (29 now) but wish I could have seen them in that time in their prime. Lucky to have met a legend! Great drummer. This album is my favourite. This or countdown to extinction I think. I like them all though
Hi guys, just stumbled across your vids and saw this one and was blown away by your honesty. What you guys felt hearing this for the first time was what I felt way back in 1990. It was inspiring and I suddenly felt justified for loving this band and this song so much. It was like 27 years of emotion had been bottled up and came rushing out all at once based in your reactions. I'm not ashamed to say, it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. Thank you. You made this old metal heads day, week, month and year. Sub'd and recommended to all my friends and family. I look forward to watching more. Take care guys. Much love.
Agreed. The points they were making were the exact things that went through my 14 year old mind the first time I heard this song. It truly is a legendary song and it's so relatable to see someone's honest initial reactions like this.
Listen, I've discovered metal because of these guys! it is definitely an art! I can't just sit down when i hear that song (which ive hear at least 17000 times.)
"I would love to see this live" I have seen this band about 10 times in concert. The song is identical to the recorded version. Anyone who thinks they use audio tricks to record this will be proven wrong when they see this live and every note is played on cue! Great video. Thank you guys for posting!
Best Holy Wars reaction vid ever! I am jealous watching people experience this song for the first time. I heard it for the first time in 1991 when I was in 7th grade and it totally blew my mind just like these guys... Megadeth truly set a standard for thrash metal and that song IMO still holds up as one of the greatest ever. Awesome vid!
You must remember.....Metallica fired that man. Can you imagine if they hadn’t done that. Dave Mustaine and Megadeth May never have even happened if not for that move. What will be will be. We got two great bands for the price of Dave
If I recall correctly, they didn't fire him for lack of ability... it was a personality issue. Again, I can't say for certain, but I have heard that Dave Mustain has a reputation for being kind of a dick.
I think it was actually due to addiction problems Mustaine had at the time. Can't work with someone if they're smacked up so I don't really blame them. Glad he got his shit together though!
niemand262 yeah he was fired because all he wanted to do was part, drink, do drugs, and fight. James and the rest settled down with their wives and wanted to live a better life but still be legendary.
I'm a guitarist with 30+ years under my belt. This is an incredibly advanced song, and it is VERY difficult. I'm glad to see you guys having such big reactions from one of the greatest metal songs by my favorite artist.
Compared to when I was a teenager 15 years ago, I'm seeing a LOT more African-Americans at metal concerts, wearing Metallica/Megadeth/ACDC shirts....and I'm also seeing A LOT more Caucasians appreciating rap and old school hip hop. It genuinely makes me feel happy on the inside to see that people are coming together, loving each other, and appreciating art together. Thanks for posting this guys, really enjoyed it. Subscribed :)
Nice, I was going to say I would love to see more black people in rock bands, a great opening band I saw for megadeth called Lillake had an awesome drummer who was black.
It's great seeing people that can respect and appreciate other genres musically without necessarily being fans of that genre. Its fine to not like certain types of music. If you say you are into music you should be able to at least appreciate some of the talent that goes into other genres.
the thing i love about this show (you guys are killing it btw) is your reaction takes me back to when i heard this stuff for the 1st time. of corse i know Holy War is a master piece but somewhere along the years i forgot. thanks for bring me back to when it was all new to me as well. FIRE!!
I just love watching Hip Hop thinkers analyzing Rock styles. It's a beautiful combination and it leads to even better works whether they be underground or mainstream. It's time music begins to evolve. Keep it coming, guys!
So cool watch you guys listen to the song for the first time, and knowing sick parts are coming up. Then seeing your reaction to said sick parts. Awesome video!
They tend to play this song as the finale in concerts these days, but there was a time, long ago, where they would open the set with this. It'd go straight from the intro missile sirens to that riff. It was glorious, as though the stars were aligning 😭
Okay, I'm back here for like the 100th time. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, I just come here and watch you two react to Holy Wars. It always puts a smile on my face, because I remember having the exact same reaction the first time I heard a Megadeath song. I was like 17 years old, (I'm 53 now) and I very clearly remember thinking "This is a whole other level of badass."
Megadeth used to open with this song when it was first released, but now they use it for an encore at the end of the show. Glad to see such respect for them.
Outsiders listening to something we've always taken for granted will always pick up things we haven't. That's awesome. Love a fresh take on a treasured song.
To answer your question: These guys would play for 2 hours plus like this every concert and not miss a beat. It was like watching a force of nature. Good times. ;)
I'm 61 and been listening to Metal for a long time. When i seen Megadeth in concert. They opened with Punishment Due. And Still Love them. I'm so sad that SLAYER retired
I am too a old school hip hop fan as well a hard rock metal guy. but seeing new people experiencing new forms of music and getting injoyment out of it. does my Hart good. you guys rock.
I played bass in speed metal bands in my late teens/early 20's; I first picked up the guitar at twelve. I can STILL remember the cold chills I got the first time I listened to this cassette.. I promptly ordered the tab book, locked myself in my room an entire wk and learned the album.. My parents weren't big fans lol but the pride I felt jamming with musicians years older than me to this amazing music was indescribable!
I’m a black dude who’s first concert was Megadeth/Iron Maiden in 88 as a teen. Imagine seeing these dudes live your first time out. After that (for me) it was heavy or nothing, lol. Music is universal.
Color doesn't have anything to do with enjoying music!? I'm a white guy and grew up with the motown and the blues and always have had an open mind for all music!! Enjoy the metal!! Good, fun music!
I saw them when they toured with Judas Priest and Testament in '91
Amen to that!! First time I heard heavy metal I never went back!!
@@myhandlehasbeenmishandled That’s the REAL Immigrant song! Dope!
My first concert too: Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer. Alice In Chains as the opener. 1990. Ful throttle.
Why can’t everyone appreciate music like these guys
so agree.
For me because I am a musician and a huge fan of music period I think it's great when people learn about the newest thing but then they either forget or want to say harsh comments like these guys sound like shit compared to the newer musicians and I just think it shows ignorance because because in every style and type of music there were generations of others that struggled and suffered to make the music we enjoy now as big as it is.
i do ..
Mika Vanderak fucking hilarious!!!!
Metalhead here, let's be honest! How many of us listen to some Hip Hop and apreciate THEIR classics?
Seriously, these guys make me re-appreciate stuff that I've been listening to for 20+ years.
Imagine hearing Holy Wars for the first time and recording your reaction to it!
Phillip Weber i wish i could that like, first time hearing holy wars and record my reaction
Ya, they are really good at what they do.
Man you telling the truth
True bro :)
Holy Wars is a metal masterpiece. It was incredible live.
I'm about to find out Tuesday!
When did they play this song live? The beginning, middle or end?
saw it live in arizona a month ago I LOST MY MIND
Eu sei..
Eu já vi..🤘🏼YEAH
3 vezes.

"How many solos do you want in your song?"
Megadeth: yes
Hangar 18
What do you mean? All of it!
Judas Priest: more
Any other pop band would take a part of one of those solos and call it a song by beating the tune too death.

Dave getting kicked out of Metallica is the greatest thing to ever happen to metal 🤘
And as far as I'm concerned, the best that Metallica ever was, was when Dave was in the band. After Master of Puppets, I think they got progressively worse.
I'd like to add Dime not joining megadeath for this album also being a great decision.
I love metallica but thank god that happened, now i have two favourite bands instead of one🤘🏻
Truth right there. Metallica sucked ass for nearly 20 years

I can can play this song on guitar and is almost impossible to song along even on the lesser parts it takes incredible talent to do what megadeth did they are probably the MOST talented band in metal history they are definitely underrated in my opinion
Getting screwd by Metallica was the best thing ever happened to Dave and the music world cause it brought us Megadeth , ty Metallica
Those 2 bands were so influential to me in high school. 80s and 90s music was the most diverse and excepted. I am a fan from hip hop, classic rock, metal, grunge, rap rock collaboration. So much good music. Some faded but those time gave me respect for so many genres.
Megadeth v. Metallica = Ford v. Chevy. Both have produced some undeniable classics.

i've never really listened to megadeth before. i lover metallica, pantera, judas, maiden, etc... but these guys opens doors for people who are a bit biased, like me. love them
damn I'm only in my thirties, don't say "nowhere near as old"
drownedcreation You said 25 years so I assumed you were much older lol. I'm 23 but I've liked heavier music since I was 6 so that's kinda weird. I actually dove into music as a hobby when I was 13-14 though so still a lot less time
Yes! All of this! I’ve been a metal fan for 30 years and just like you said, their reactions are taking me back to when it was brand new to me.
I absolutely LOVE watching open minded, non metal listeners getting blown away by this stuff.
The best part about Mustaine's vocals is that he wasn't even his first choice for vocals. He was his own last resort. And look how it worked. One of the most unique voices in the genre.
It's a shame he didn't look after his voice when touring like most musicians did because it couldn't last a show when I saw them back in 2001, in fact the vocals ruined it. I love his voice on the studio albums though, always have.
He was fantastic on Countdown To Extinction and Youthanasia when it comes to vocals, with Youthanasia being their only album where Dave is genuinely singing, not yelling, grunting, rapping or screaming the lyrics. After 1999 however it went downhill.
i introduced my friend to megadeth and he goes, 'oh my god, that's such an evil voice!' haha
@Dz ntz haha yeah that’s wht my friend said. He ended up listening to all of their albums and he now loves megadeth! 😂
@Dz ntz 😂 baby steps! Haha
In my opinion, Rust In Peace is the best megadeth album

Yes with Peace Sells

Fuckin a right, and still so pertinent , sadly
11:30 "This is like a Swiss army knife song" Best description of any song on that album!
Mustaines lyrics are super relevant today. It’s chilling
I've noticed that too Pink Floyd as well
100% agree this album has kept me together during this covid insanity. Love this album!!!

Holy shit dave gave you a shout out , wow!!! This reaction is becoming legendary

Guys, I've been listening to this song for what, 25 years? I think that other than the very first time I heard it myself, I never enjoyed it as much as I did listening to it with you today)))

I agree with you! This is the greatest metal song of all time! Masterpiece! Technically they're on another level...
This is by far my new favorite you tube channel by far ...you guys are awesome
Me too lol
I grew up listening to this song, but watching you guys discover it for the first time really breathed new life into it for me and actually deepened my appreciation for it.
danger5oh me too man!
I feel this every time a new person is introduced to metal. Brings back those nostalgic days.
danger5oh I just started watching their channel and yeah seeing how they appreciate the song made me break down in my own head really just how great it is.
I appreciate how they actually pay attention to the complexity of each song.

3:20 "So far so good".
You don't know what you did there...
so what... ;)
LOL!
SO WHAT????
You're a liar ¬_¬
So what....
“I can see why this is regarded as one of the best metal songs ever”
....still in the intro. Lol. Love it!
P.S. The singer is playing guitar as well. Think about that one.
Indeed, one of the most underappreciated skills that Dave Mustaine possess. So what if his voice isn't as appealing or powerful as other metal singers but, he's extremely skilled.
And at a period in his life where he was doing so much heroin and coke he eventually almost lost his arm from it. Imagine what he could do sans those demons.
Dan Marshall, perhaps sans demons...sans inspiration. Hence the rampant use and damn near required use of heroine to be successful in the realms of extreme music
I think they know cos they're probably watching the music video where dave sings and plays guitar
I've seen the documentary with Dave talking about, he fell asleep fucked up one night with his arm lent over the back of a chair and was leaning on it, he damaged his radial ulnar nerve and it meant he couldn't pull his hand upwards which ofcourse is vital for playing guitar. But with lots and lots of physical therapy he managed to regain use of the hand, but he had to kinda change how he played abit because it never truly came back. Similar thing happened to steve vai, he damaged nerves in his picking hand and hence he uses a kind of different technique for picking.
The crazy thing is their lyrics are still relevant to this day
Because it was the truth!
@FUN-TIME Currently the only religion killing others for religion is Islam
@@Matt-ox2qc you forgot one, the most spreaded around the world, the only religion that other religions serve too ...MONEY
War... War never changes.
AJFA relevant too
Yes, they’re right. This song is hard to play, takes an advanced skill set to whip this out. I can’t even fathom how Dave plays this fast and sings the melody at the same time, holy shit, hats off to him.
yo I'm a bit late, if you're still wondering, the reason he can sing and play these rhythms at the same times Is because the rhythm pattern that you play with your hands is the same rhythm pattern that you sing, and that's awesome because I also thought it was practically impossible to play and sing at the same time. I learned In a few months, this song gives you the illusion that it's hard but only if you didn't lock in your rhythm with practice...
"I FORGOT THERE WAS LYRICS"....best thing I ever heard!!!
Right when Dave started singing they both just stopped bobbin their heads all suprised and shit 😂😂😂 love these guys 🤘 and music 🤘
Honestly, when I first heard this song, I kind of felt the same way. I mean, there are Maiden songs, Sabbath songs and many more I am sure I am forgetting where there is at least 1.5 minutes (or more) of just shredding instrumentals.....then the vocals kick in.....and you're like "Holy Shit"......I totally forgot!!!!
Shawn Chamberlain 😂😂😂
I think I've watched this video from beginning to end maybe 5 times. I think I appreciate the fact that you're giving your complete unbiased attention to the entire song.
This is what we always want to see when introducing a friend to a band!
Exactly
Saw Megadeth on 5-7-22, Holy Wars was the encore after a one hour show, note for note from the album, like GOD intended lol, incredible.
I saw them on 9-2-22 in Houston it was awesome! Played it at the end as well with peace sells and we’ll be back during the middle 🙌❤️ it was the best time hope to see them again!
Saw them 9-6-22 and they played this song note for note I can’t even imagine how hard it is to do this night after night
I've seen them five or so times, Holy Wars was the closing song for all of them
As a huge Megadeth fan you guys made me love them even more. I was smiling the whole time.
nathan Pritchard
Same!

Brandon Holtzclaw hell yea brother same exact feeling here
Yep, me too.
exactly. Its a kind of pride and a kind of connection.
Just found your page and went through 70% of my battery watching your videos. I've subscribed and can't wait for more. Keep up the good work guys.
Currently at 27%, can relate
Dudes, this video was recommended to me by UA-cam, so I clicked on it. I’m stuck recovering in a hospital so I’m obviously on a lot of UA-cam.
I’m a lifelong metal fan and I play in bands but as a musician I like the whole spectrum and find something in everything.
It’s clear you guys are obviously musicians or producers or something so to see you react so honestly, but also break it down the way you did, was great. Watching you get to enjoy something for the first time was just so much fun to watch. I really loved watching your reaction to the musicianship of what many metal heads consider the “classic” and most talented lineup / time period of Megadeth.
Thanks guys, this really made my day.
Random shout out from a randomer, hope you are ok.
hope you're better \m/
This is so cool to see people react to this for the first time. This is the song that made me a fan of Megadeth.
Mine was Peace Sells
Watched a mid 20’s white girl listen to this for the first time I believe she was impregnated
This song coupled with a lot of opiates and a passion to play like Dave is what made me a megadeth fan. For years I didn't like them because Dave was a dick but once I really tried it I was hooked lol.
Here we are! One million views for the reaction of this masterpiece! It deserves it!
Dave mustaine shared this on twitter, that's how the views shot up...
MikeMetalBelgium the Mona Lisa of reaction videos.
MikeMetalBelgium and I'm responsible for 4 of those 1 million views lol great song great review
MikeMetalBelgium. It is so nice to see their reactions the amazement the admiration the recognition of this unearthly talent. Having heard this song hundreds of times you tend to take it for granted. This resets your experience of this masterpiece. Love it 🔥🔥💯👍
I fully agree. This reminds me the moment I heard for the first time the first notes of this great song! It is close to feeling again that feeling.
That was a great watch. Reminded me of when I first heard this song. Great you appreciated the great drumming. RIP Nick Menza.
Anyone who tells you this stuff, is 'easy' has never picked up an instrument. Believe none of it. Even an accomplished player would never make such an ignorant comment.
I've been playing guitar since the age of 9. I'll be 60 in a few weeks. To play a piece perfectly is not 'easy'..........even when it may sound easy.
i mean just playing the opening with the triplets is not easy. not to mention the rest of the song.
Preach it because it's the truth.
@@ballbustinbravo, Those aren't triplets. Those are reverse gallops. They alternate between 8th and 16th notes. You'll see if you take a look at a notation.
I'm sorry man but this song is easy ahahahah
@@J89-b2m no, no it isnt. Pretty objectively.
I love how music can bring us together. These guys who aren't really fans of the genre can connect with metal heads - I hope metal heads show the same appreciation for true musical talent in other genres themselves.
Fr
Agreed. That would be awesome. But let's face it, many metal heads don't even like that much metal. They like the bands they like, and every other metal band are poseurs or sellouts, not trve, real metal. So, I doubt that the people I'm referring to will give much credence to other genres, when they can't even be bothered to appreciate the different facets of the music they claim to love so much. I, however, could be wrong. Just my 2 cents.
Cheers!
I consider myself open minded. My comfort zone is thrash, metal and grunge.
However, I can appreciate and I also like and listen to some hip hop, blues, pop, rock, etc. I don't care the genre, If I like it I like it, If I like it too much, I give it a shot to the band. It IS that simple though
Most metalheads however tend to be really close minded and some of them even throw shit to other bands and genres, it's really sad
I love coming back to this video every now and again. Reminds me that Holy Wars is quite possibly the crowning thrash achievment, the high water mark, the mona lisa. So singular in it's greatness that it holds the distinction of being the song that woke you dudes on real metal and thus gave me my favorite youtube channel of all time. So grateful you guys discovered this and even more grateful you discovered it in front of an audience that needed to see you find it. You guys are doing awesome work. Never stop. Freethinker forever.
Notice I said thrash high water mark.
2019.. still coming here. Have a quick recovery Dave... Stay strong!
Well said
He is gonna make it!
Wtf happened to Dave?

True
We should have Dave Mustaine reviewing black porn.
I'm 53 year old metalhead. In my opinion, Megadeth is the best pure heavy metal band EVER!!!

52 here. Thinking about all of the eras and sub genres we have lived through, it is difficult to argue with that. Dave never went mainstream like Metallica did. A little commercial maybe, but not like they did.

Holy Wars is still one of the greatest songs ever. I remember seeing the video on MTV'S Headbanger's Ball back in 1990 when it first came out at 12 years old. It blew me away too and this song still holds up today and it always probably will. Dave Mustaine is one of the greatest songwriters in the music industry ever. It is very incredible for him to be playing guitar and sing the songs he has written. Dave Mustaine deserves the respect he gets at his skill.
Check out She Wolf...ua-cam.com/video/rmUleg7AzEE/v-deo.html
My 1st Megadeth song was "Peace Sells" been a fan since
Me too man. I will never forget the night it premiered. Pure magick.
Aliens: what is metal?
Me: Holy Wars
"It's a marathon, not a sprint"
Megadeth sprints EVERY marathon!
By far one of the greatest song ever created, Megadeth will always be in my heart, in terms of technical level megadeth is a superior ONE, that combination Mustaine and Friedman is simply the best I've ever seen and those drums Nick Menza I love that dude I miss him so much.
Holy Wars is the Bohemian Rhapsody of heavy metal
Ray Bluntzer yuuuup
yeah ,, or opeth lotus eaters (matches the capricious-nes of bohemian rhapsody )
Nah man, ORION or to live is to die
Well said!
Ray Bluntzer sorry but death voice of the soul dont even need lyrics!
One of the best bands in metal period. Nick Menza on drums in this line up was amazing and easily one of the best. RIP
longboardguy met them,with Nick, at cd signing for this album before the show that night. Good memories
Joseph 221b very cool man. I'm a bit too young to have met them then (29 now) but wish I could have seen them in that time in their prime. Lucky to have met a legend! Great drummer. This album is my favourite. This or countdown to extinction I think. I like them all though
Yah bro love the lineup miss nick manzana 🤘🤘
Yasin Mohammad Nick Menza
lucretia has the best solo for me
Hi guys, just stumbled across your vids and saw this one and was blown away by your honesty. What you guys felt hearing this for the first time was what I felt way back in 1990. It was inspiring and I suddenly felt justified for loving this band and this song so much. It was like 27 years of emotion had been bottled up and came rushing out all at once based in your reactions. I'm not ashamed to say, it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. Thank you. You made this old metal heads day, week, month and year. Sub'd and recommended to all my friends and family. I look forward to watching more. Take care guys. Much love.
Agreed. The points they were making were the exact things that went through my 14 year old mind the first time I heard this song. It truly is a legendary song and it's so relatable to see someone's honest initial reactions like this.
Listen, I've discovered metal because of these guys! it is definitely an art! I can't just sit down when i hear that song (which ive hear at least 17000 times.)
"I would love to see this live"
I have seen this band about 10 times in concert. The song is identical to the recorded version. Anyone who thinks they use audio tricks to record this will be proven wrong when they see this live and every note is played on cue!
Great video. Thank you guys for posting!
sounds exactly the same live! Blew me away! Next thing you know, theyll take my thoughts away!
The only thing feels off is the vocal but the instrumental precision is perfect
When they forget that there’s gunna be vocals 😂
R!P Nick Menza
Nick Menza was the drummer he is Outstanding , ,RIP Nick miss you dude!
He was a big part of the golden age of Megadeth. Case in point, the intro and outtro of the Countdown to Extinction album.
Best Holy Wars reaction vid ever! I am jealous watching people experience this song for the first time. I heard it for the first time in 1991 when I was in 7th grade and it totally blew my mind just like these guys... Megadeth truly set a standard for thrash metal and that song IMO still holds up as one of the greatest ever. Awesome vid!
You must remember.....Metallica fired that man. Can you imagine if they hadn’t done that. Dave Mustaine and Megadeth May never have even happened if not for that move. What will be will be. We got two great bands for the price of Dave
Truer words have never been spoken.
If I recall correctly, they didn't fire him for lack of ability... it was a personality issue. Again, I can't say for certain, but I have heard that Dave Mustain has a reputation for being kind of a dick.
I think it was actually due to addiction problems Mustaine had at the time. Can't work with someone if they're smacked up so I don't really blame them. Glad he got his shit together though!
MichaelRSouthgate don’t forget why the fired Dave.
niemand262 yeah he was fired because all he wanted to do was part, drink, do drugs, and fight. James and the rest settled down with their wives and wanted to live a better life but still be legendary.
You seem like two guys that I could sit down, have a beer with and just chat about music. New and big fan, keep it up lads
Let's all skype and listen to metal
Watching you guys react to my favorite songs ever is just crazy! I love watching you two
I'm a guitarist with 30+ years under my belt. This is an incredibly advanced song, and it is VERY difficult. I'm glad to see you guys having such big reactions from one of the greatest metal songs by my favorite artist.
Compared to when I was a teenager 15 years ago, I'm seeing a LOT more African-Americans at metal concerts, wearing Metallica/Megadeth/ACDC shirts....and I'm also seeing A LOT more Caucasians appreciating rap and old school hip hop. It genuinely makes me feel happy on the inside to see that people are coming together, loving each other, and appreciating art together. Thanks for posting this guys, really enjoyed it. Subscribed :)
It's so true!!
acdc51502112 That's so true, the media, main stream or not, is full of crap.
It's true...i'm even seeing more black men leading metal bands. It's a great thing to see!!!
RockWillLiveOn I agree, I think it's cool
Nice, I was going to say I would love to see more black people in rock bands, a great opening band I saw for megadeth called Lillake had an awesome drummer who was black.
It's great seeing people that can respect and appreciate other genres musically without necessarily being fans of that genre. Its fine to not like certain types of music. If you say you are into music you should be able to at least appreciate some of the talent that goes into other genres.
Totally agree with you
Never saw you guys before this is bad ass. Welcome to metal
When the “stank face” hits you know a band is killing it haha
the thing i love about this show (you guys are killing it btw) is your reaction takes me back to when i heard this stuff for the 1st time. of corse i know Holy War is a master piece but somewhere along the years i forgot. thanks for bring me back to when it was all new to me as well. FIRE!!
Jason Bates Man, that's true!
It was the same to me. It brought me back the sensation when I heard it for the first time. Same kind of surprise and enthusiasm.
I just love watching Hip Hop thinkers analyzing Rock styles. It's a beautiful combination and it leads to even better works whether they be underground or mainstream. It's time music begins to evolve. Keep it coming, guys!
So cool watch you guys listen to the song for the first time, and knowing sick parts are coming up. Then seeing your reaction to said sick parts. Awesome video!
They tend to play this song as the finale in concerts these days, but there was a time, long ago, where they would open the set with this. It'd go straight from the intro missile sirens to that riff. It was glorious, as though the stars were aligning 😭
Yeah they played this last when I saw em last year
Okay, I'm back here for like the 100th time. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, I just come here and watch you two react to Holy Wars. It always puts a smile on my face, because I remember having the exact same reaction the first time I heard a Megadeath song. I was like 17 years old, (I'm 53 now) and I very clearly remember thinking "This is a whole other level of badass."
Whoa! Coolest gal in the world?
Are you Randy Rhodes daughter? Hahaha
@Samantha Rhodes: Oh, far more than just bang. I tend to get quite creative.
"This is Destruction."
Nope, actually it's Megadeth. :D
I see what ya did there 🤘

@@Strings-jg2to Dave is watching and listening to all of us. He is one of the four horsemen, don't forget it.
Megadeth used to open with this song when it was first released, but now they use it for an encore at the end of the show. Glad to see such respect for them.
You guys are noticing more things about this song than a lot of metal fans.
spoonbender you got that right
i think cuz they are high
Outsiders listening to something we've always taken for granted will always pick up things we haven't. That's awesome. Love a fresh take on a treasured song.
Actually... yes. These are the best first-time reactions I've seen IMO
How do you know? did you take a poll of every metal fan in the world about what they know about this song?
8:20 - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stopped at the greatest part!!!
Ik😂
Ugh
Happens all the time! But their doing their job I guess!!
🤣🤣🤣 I almost died.
Goooooddddddd😭😭😭😭😭 I screamed at the top of my lungs when they did that.. that was such a sick transition
I think I watch this video once a month. Still my favorite of all reactions.
Lol. I do too. This and their reaction to Sepultura- Dead Embryonic Cells. \,,/
same here~^^
Same here! Dead Embryonic too!
Holy wars, Blackbird, Dead embryonic cells = 3 of the best reactions on heavy rotation here!
This along with the reaction to Master of Puppets are my favorite videos of them so far
To answer your question: These guys would play for 2 hours plus like this every concert and not miss a beat. It was like watching a force of nature. Good times. ;)
R.I.P. Nick Menza who killed the drums on this entire album.
Damn, that hit me hard when I heard about it. RIP.
Best mediocre drummer ever. RIP Saint Nick
Let's hear your version dude...Menza was one of the best metal drummers of that era...
Aditya Pradana Mahardhika Not one of the best metal drummers, but still very good. His parts fit Megadeth very well.
God Bless Nick..
you see people,,theres a difference between listening to music and FEELING the music,,these two guys are the real deal,,they feel the music!!!
That whole album is a MASTERPIECE
Absolutely. But no denying that tornado, hangar and holy wars carries the rest of the album.
U forgot: rust in peace... polaris fucking carries as well
Etienne Fafard into the lungs of hell and lucretia.
Lucretia rocks as well. This album stands with Reign in Blood as the top thrash albums from my perspective.
The riff from Poison was the cure is one of the most badass Megadeth's riffs
I'm 61 and been listening to Metal for a long time.
When i seen Megadeth in concert.
They opened with Punishment Due.
And Still Love them.
I'm so sad that SLAYER retired
I am too a old school hip hop fan as well a hard rock metal guy. but seeing new people experiencing new forms of music and getting injoyment out of it. does my Hart good. you guys rock.
Pretty sure Megadeth has never been compared to a black porno before, fucking amazing!
The whole album is ham....one of the greatest albums ever made ..god bless dave mustain
e
Mustaine
tornado of souls is my favorite
the irony of saying god bless when they're reacting to this song.
Fux a ham?
I played bass in speed metal bands in my late teens/early 20's; I first picked up the guitar at twelve. I can STILL remember the cold chills I got the first time I listened to this cassette.. I promptly ordered the tab book, locked myself in my room an entire wk and learned the album.. My parents weren't big fans lol but the pride I felt jamming with musicians years older than me to this amazing music was indescribable!
