The original 'Youthanasia' version was a lot darker, practically in Emo territory. The more upbeat 'United Abominations' version featuring Cristina Scabbia and the post-apocalyptic imagery of the video is my favorite recording of this. It reminds me of my late wife, Jan (1961-2003), and it's great for channeling my grief and anger over the circumstances (Vioxx) of her passing. If not for this version, I probably would have sought out and beaten the crap out of multiple Big pHARMa executives a long f•••ing time ago. Karma will get them eventually, God is not mocked!
Didn't realize that was Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil doing the female vocals for this track, my God she's beautiful and such a vocalist! VIVA ITALIA
Christina scabbia makes an amazing addition to this song by Megadeath. She's lovely and has amazing vocals. Even today she still looks ravishing. Saw her in lacuna coil first and was besotted with her vocals. True what someone said, you could listen to this song over n over
is Cristina without the "h", because it's an italian name...😉 Proud to have in my country a singer like her...her voice is incredible...lacuna coil change italian and the world music scene
@@tothesilenceofficial hhahaha the only italian hard band nowadays Is Baphomet's blood. The rest are bands for girls AND I am one but lacuna Coil? Maybe their first album when she had short hair. No More please.
There is not a single fucking sense in which Dave could've picked a better frontwoman for this remake. Cristina's performance sense, melodic sense and overall aesthetic are unmatched.
*Standing ovation*👏This song is truly moving and inspiring on so many levels. I had to not listen to it for years. It was too painful. My mom and I used to love singing this. Now when I play this song it's like we're together again singing through the realms of eternity🙏❤️
Listening to this song takes me back and fills me with tears & love. My best friend loved this band. It was over Megadeth that we sparked the friendship of a lifetime. We were in the Navy back in 2001. He was amazing & larger than life. We were in New Orleans on break and he saw this street called Elysian Fields Drive. He had to stop to take a picture. We were partying hard later and he got serious, which was rare for him. He told me not to cry for him when he dies. To play this song and remember him. I was a kid struggling to survive, like I’d been tossed in an ocean full of sharks. He was the only human who reached out and pulled my head out of the water. The last thing I wanted was to contemplate his leaving. I told him “Dude quit that! You aren’t gonna die YET!” Anyways we stayed the best of friends through highs and lows but maybe he knew something. Maybe he had a clock he didn’t like to face often that told him time was short. It kills me inside that he did end up passing exactly 5 years ago. He was 43 and had retired from the Navy some years before and was one credit shy of his BS. I regret I never got to say goodbye.
I , too, have missed that same opportunity of closure with more than one person that I loved. I know that I will see them again, so I look forward to the next time I can say, "Hello." I hope that will comfort you. God Bless.
@@The.Artistic.Squirrel Forgive me for taking so long to respond... I am touched that you took the time to say that my words were helpful. Feel free to respond if you wish to open a dialogue.
I don’t care how many times I watch this or listen to it. An amazing song! It was when Megadeth first recorded it n even better with the gorgeous Cristina n her even more beautiful voice!
@rumblefish14 The song is DEFINITELY about saying goodbye to your loved ones when you die. Dave has stated this many times this is what he would say, if he had 3 seconds to say goodbye.
When I found out motley faked play in concert, megadeath is my favorite group. Dave if you are reading this, please don't change a thing. Be your self. Of course I don't need to tell you this, you understand what you're fans needs. Keep rocking.
Grande Cristina, orgoglio italiano, sei riuscita a migliorare, con la tua voce, una canzone già di per sé stupenda e bellissima!!! È poi cantare con Mega-Dave...wow!!!!! Mitica!
1st. seen Megadeth in my home city opening up for Alice Cooper 2-19-97...Peace Sells was a game changer for my musical tastes for seeking out riffs that stuck out....Kind of like another fav band of mine Voivod. Anyways... I have had a good musical journey in my life so far and it continues on in my 52nd yr. and this song has always hit hard for a "Ballard" which it is not to me. This version did not find me until recently just going down the youtube rabbit hole. I had no idea the Dave had Cristina aid in this redo back in 2007 and wow!!! She's is so amazing in this and Lacuna Coil of course. The 2 them together on this song crush! Beautifully done and this can be played at my funeral when the time comes right after Highway to Hell!
Cristina just makes everything (she participates in) come alive. She's not only a beautiful woman, but - i'm sure - also a beautiful human being. Special people are often graced with special talent.
Looking back at when I was kidnapped & tortured with no end in sight, people who say death is the worst thing possible clearly haven't seen what horrors most people will do when they think they have no choice.....God Bless America!!!
This is the song that originally got me into Megadeth. I was a Lacuna Coil fan before that and still am today (Still have my 1st edition vinyl of 'Comalies'). Through a fan page I found that Chirstina has collaborated with Megadeth, who I'm not sure If even heard of back then. Gave it a listen and I was instantly blown away by Dave's vocals and musical talent! Shortly thereafter I was forbidden from riding in the plane on my sister's 21st birthday skydive jump because I woke her up the morning of by kicking her bedroom door open while blasting 'High Speed Dirt's on my boombox. Hah! Good times
Ohhh, this version is in E, I knew there was something fundamentally different to it. It also has a faster tempo. I still prefer the original in D#, it's more chill and has unique raw emotion to it. This version is pretty and polished for the general public. Sounds like something you'd randomly find on the radio.
2022. This song and video has aged well. It's still awesome. Great collaboration between Megadeath and Christina Scabbia. À tout le monde, à tous mes amis. Je vous aime, je dois partir
Just picked up United Abominations. Great addition to the collection and Cristina does a great job on this version of the song. Original version was slower, but this version is more metal. I do like this version better.
When I was young I had a big tape recorder and a tape with "Megadeth" on one side and "Metallica" on anoter. And this song had a glitch on 3:30 with 1 second of an old pop music record, kind of rickroll joke. This was always a pain for me an I was always waiting and dreading this moment, as it spoiled the impression. 😬 This is such a pleasure to hear an original, thank you, UA-cam!
I love this song but I think this just may be the best version. Love Friedman but Drover is a God too! And also Kiko lol!!!!! They did this song slightly different and it pays off I think. Rock on!
""à tout le monde, à tous mes amis, je vous aime, je dois partir""....................""to the whole world, to all my friends, I love you, I have to go""

Always loved this song, from the First second I ever heard it. And with Cri, just lovely. Love Dave and I love Cri. Didn't know it at the time, but Cri would become one of my all-time favourite.

A lot have people have left comments about Dave's and Cristina's French accents, I can tell you from experience that nailing the French accent isn't that easy because I'm half French. If you ever heard me speak French, you wouldn't know the difference. I personally think Dave and Christina did a great job in singing in those vocals. So kudos to them. 👍
I am not French, so I don't know for sure, but whenever you are singing a line it has to fit to the rhythm and the tone of the song, so there is half a chance if they nailed the French pronunciation it would sound weird and out of step with the rest of the song
My brothers funeral song....heart hurts but love this every time
My fiancé passed. This was our song. She had the chorus inked on her leg😢
@@pete-cn4hz My condolences
My deceased fiance had the chorus tattoed on her leg. Tore me up when she passed.
Sorry to hear that, hope you meet again down the road.

this song made me sit up and listen when i was 18,now 48 and i still sit up and listen,brilliant song
The song was released in 1994, full 30 years have not passed since then... Really a good song by the way, with beautiful woman vocals from Cristina.

My dear friends, when you think about Italy you don't have to think about pizza or spaghetti..just think about Cristina Scabbia ❤️
Oh I do lol
Uh ok
I'm thinking of having pizza with Cristina
This chic is badass. I never listened to Lacuna Coil before. Good singing and pretty hot too.
She’s lovely 🖤

Up Lacuna Coil.
Thankfully Metallica booted DaveMustaine, otherwise we would have never had Megadeth and all the music they gave us all!
Indeed
I think it this yesterday, before read your post...
Metallica burned out a long time ago at least Dave Mustaine kept metal going Megadeth kicks ass f*** Lars Ulrich and and James Hetfield Megadeth rules
@@matthewshaw8014 I agree...👍
Mustaine the number one!!! 1 lml
My daughter committed suicide 3 years ago and this song always makes me think of her. I tear up every single time I listen to it
I hope that in the afterlife she will find the answers that she couldn't find in our awful world. My heart is with you and with her.
So sorry for your loss.
Miért tette? Biztos, hogy öngyilkosság volt?

That woman is Lacuna Coils' Cristina Scabbia.
Cristina scabbia not that woman
"That woman" fronts one of the best metal bands. You best look into Lucana Coil.
"That WOMAN" sounds GREAT ANYWHERE!!! CRISTINA SCABBIA!
😍😍😍😍😍
"that woman" absolute slander to the great Cristina Scabbia. But nice comment, I agree completely
Her voice is so smooth and. Sweet
This is ridiculously good
I don’t care how many times I watch this or listen to it. An amazing song! It was when Megadeth first recorded it n even better with the gorgeous Cristina n her even more beautiful voice!

Love Megadeth and Lacuna Coil forever
I always end up coming back to this version of the song, Christina's voice is amazing and the harmonies with her and Dave are hauntingly beautiful
Dave has written some superb rock songs!!
Mega Song. Mega Album, Mega Babe on the videoclip :P
Megadeth is truly one of the best metal bands for all their unquestionable technique and evolution.
Christina Scabbia adds so much to this song. Just a great combination with Dave Mustaine.
I gotta hand it to Dave Mustaine, he couldn't have chosen a better vocalist to do a duet with than Cristina Scabbia for this song. Great job mate.
A Tout Le Monde Dave ! We are all praying for you Xo
This was one of the best collaboration I have seen
Just came back from saying goodbye to a good friend. This song was quoted in his brothers eulogy.
❤️Rest easy James❤️
Megadeth,lo máximo

Saw Megadeth at Sweden Rock Festival this summer. And they kicked ass. Dave Mustaine is just an amazing guitar player and performer. IMO 🤘🤘🤘

Fevorite all the time. Watching from Nepal 🇳🇵🖐️
one of the best metal songs of all time. perfect in rhythm, vocals, everything
you should maybe look for the origial one.
Nope
Love this song... First time watching the video and even more incredible!!
Awesome love this song that beautiful lady is a wonderful singer you lucked out Dave.
