Ashes In Your Mouth is such a killer song! They never play it! Their setlist is basically the same every show! Cool that they've played The Conjuring lately, though.
The solos on that one are ones for the books. Some of the most technical on any Megadeth album. Friedman still holds the crown if you ask me for the skill of all the Megadeth lead axemen. Just my opinion... I never got into Polands playing much but his contributions to Ashes of the Wake the song were stellar.
Another lesser known bit about Megadeth is that 3 titles come from the 80s transformer cartoon: "It's music! The symphony of destruction and the anthem of agony!” -Galvatron, air date: Sept 1986 You deserve that all right Megajerk, rust in peace! -Trailbreaker, air date: Sept 1985 And "Countdown to Extinction" is the title of a Transformers episode that aired on Dec 1 1984.
@@Noamyo10 It is very possible they are all 3 coincidences. Rust in Peace could be a pre-existing play on words. But it is also very possible Dave was drugged out on a couch with 80's programming on tv in the background, he hears the words "symphony of destruction" and he looks up, like, "shit, that's metal!"
In My Darkest Hour has the strongest pull on me. Peace Sells & that MTV News take on that baseline imparted in their introduction was televised when I was old enough to "get it." I've been a guitarist since I was 13; or 1987. Megadeth & Anthrax were probably my earliest metal influences. Lizzy Borden was another early influence.
I remember when I first saw symphony on mtv, to me that guitar tone was IT, so mean and crunchy I thought it was such a nice alternative to the Metallica’s scooped tone (which I also like).
It literally sounds like metal! A crunching, grinding, machinery of greatness. The bass click is the stuff of legend. Best guitar sound EVER. Fire up Architecture of Agression and you’ll find guitar tone perfection.
This was brilliant, and I didn't know most of these things. One thing that was not mentioned was that Megadeth received an environmental award for the incredible title track, which was the Humane Society's Genesis Award. I have the 2012 20th Anniversary edition of this album, and it's far superior to the 2004 remaster.
Another fact: The order of the songs was chosen by Dianne Courtland. Her name was Dianne Lafitte at the time, as she was married to their manager, Ron Lafitte.
I used to play in a Megadeth tribute named Countdown to Extinction - of course we played a few from this album - Symphony & Skin O My Teeth - Ashes was gonna be added but the band went extinct first.
I saw them live in Birmingham UK when they were touring this incredible but accessible album. The fact that Pantera was the support act made this probably my favourite gig. Both bands were on fire.
My favorite Megadeth Album,i absolutely love it!!! Brings so much memories back...saw them live on the 92er Countdown ... Tour in the famous "Longhorn" here in Stuttgart, Germany!!! A decent re-release on Vinyl would be awesome!!!
First Megadeth album I've ever bought, and the first time I bought it on cassette, then on CD. But it wasn't the first I've heard of them, it was "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying". My all-time favorite band together as Black Sabbath!
This album is the reason i got in to heavy metal and eventually relaising that Megadeth is the greatest fucking metal band and Mustaine is the emperor of metal. Legend.
@Keith Nowak I read an interview with Dime where he said that they used to drink Seagrams Seven and Coke but then when Pantera started making more money, they replaced the Seagrams with Crown Royal.
I went into a record store in 92 looking for Countdown & a Vulgar Display t-shirt. Got the shirt , but no Countdown. I brought that record divider thing that alphabetically organized and tossed it on the counter and said to the guys 'Hey fuckers, you spelled this wrong'. It said Megadeath. So, as they scrambled for the Dymo label maker I walked out of the store with the shirt. They even said I'm sorry .
@John Wheeler haha yhe feud lives on. Grow up. I just made a comment about their album in comparison. Metallica is amazing too. But this album did top Metallica that time. Metallica will always be more commercial though. Dave's voice wasn't commercial enough. Now go drink some sunny D and play Zelda. Be happy. It's people like you who keep the feud alive . Even thenbands themselves have baried the hatchet.
@@xavierlaflamme8773 The Black Album is an incredible album. Every song is great and the production is top notch. Countdown has a couple skips, like Psychotron, and the production is pretty good but not great. Countdown has better solos and is a bit more complex with syncopated rhythms and double bass, but I don't think that makes it better overall.
@@johnp82 fair enough. I'm a black album fan too. Really was the first true metal album I got into and got me into metal. So it's special to me..overall stsrt to finish, black album was good. Many good songs. I think countdown had some that hit it out of the park. Symphony, psychotrron, sweating bullets, and captive honor. The production not as good as black album. As usual the solos were better which is what megadeth concentrates on. But I also felt the messages and story lines in countdown were deeper. Megad4th tends to be deeper in terms of messages and story lines than Metallica. A lot of what countdown has as far as messages are super relevant today. And Go Sox! Great sign
My first introduction to Megadeth was Go to Hell when I heard it on BIll and Ted's Bogus Journey. But it wasn't until Sweating Bullets that I became a fan. I remember seeing the video for Sweating Bullets late one night on Headbanger's Ball and thinking it was one of craziest music videos I'd ever seen.
friend of mine was ahead of me on music etc and albums.lol i saw a show on muchmusic about the album.saw symphony video.that was it took him by surprise lol.and that song itself is a challenge to play and anything my freind could play anything on guitar.he leaned to play by ear took him a week or so.he fianny learned it play it.
In fact, i heard he didnt even COOK his food, he ate it raw! never has a man been more clean & sober than Mr. dave during that album recording! LOL thanks for the laugh, Madman!!
@@dawson7867 Completely untrue - their first four albums all sound very different from each other. Show No Mercy is like Venom mixed with speed metal and early Iron Maiden, Hell Awaits was proto-death metal with long epic songs, Reign In Blood was full-on hardcore punk-influenced thrash with much shorter and more aggressive songs, and then South Of Heaven had a lot of slower mid-paced songs with cleaner vocals and more grooving riffs. Seasons In The Abyss is like a mixture of the two albums before it, so that's when they stopped progressing much and more or less stuck to an established formula. Then they went downhill after that because Dave Lombardo left.
@@dowens3781 okay then how in your right mind can you call slayer the best thrash band when they’ve basically done the same thing as metallica with like 4 solid albums and going downhill and megadeth on the other hand has multiple top tier albums that are better than the best slayer or metallica has put out
@@dawson7867 First of all, Megadeth is barely thrash - they're too jazzy and progressive to be full-on thrash. Reign In Blood is basically the definition of thrash and the greatest full-bore thrash album ever made, and Master Of Puppets is the greatest metal album ever made - the only Megadeth album that comes close in Rust In Peace, but Dave's weak vocals always put them at least two tiers below Metallica. Even most Megadeth fans admit that his vocals were never very good.
Watch what you say about this near perfect Metal album. Not just Megadeth album. This is one of those drop the needle and jam nonstop til the end of the final track. I bought the CD when it came out and sat in my car and listened to it twice right away.
Countdown to Extinction is one of the greatest albums ever made. Upon hearing it (not when it was released), as young metalhead, Megadeth quickly became one of my favorite bands. I still enjoy listening to it today and think every time how great the record is. Everything clicked for Mustaine & co except the no. 1 spot which Countdown to Extinction definitely deserved.
10:30 - what's that Mustaine's talking bout a "logo change" after Countdown? Megadeth logo has always stayed EXACTLY the same, *EVEN ON RISK*. Only exception is their debut - Killing is my Business, which, as we all know was because the label lost the band's artwork, so the album cover had to be improvised at the last second.
I just can't believe they released the greatest thrash metal album of all time and then a year later released this album. Countdown is great, but if I was a thrasher at that time I would of been pissed :D
The “black tooth grin” part is true but i remember mustaine saying back in the day (while recording countdown to extinction i think) that when he questioned Cliff burton about his tattoo (in the brief time he met him) why he’d get a tattoo of the misfits black tooth grin skull album cover and cliff said “dont you know who this is” !! (go Cliff🤘) and the “black tooth grin” saying stuck with him(mustaine)
I never really listened to metal before this year other than the occasional Metallica song like master of puppets. But I listened to Pat Macs “metal Mac attack playlist” on Spotify with Megadeath on it. Now I’m hooked.
I once watched slayer open for megadeth. After slayer megadeth went on and I recall not enjoying the megadeth show. It felt like the volume was too low for megadeth. :-)
Dave Mustaine talking about his drug habits is kind of like Government admiting they've been studying UFOs. They always admit that they went on even after they've previously stated that they stopped but they assure you that now they've stopped for sure! 100%.....and then.....
1) Peace Sells 2) Killing is my Business 3) Countdown to Exctinction and that's about the albums by Megadeth I'm able to rate; well, I'm able to enjoy Tornado of Souls, yet I see it as one hit wonder from its album.
@John Williams I do like that an album do different variations on a topic; in a way that each track compliment eachother, for me Rust in Peace is too much the same track over and over again.
@@satanlaffing Yes sir, also first day purchase for me. Edison Mall, Fort Myers. Never forget. Both great albums, still listen to them on a weekly basis!
@@InternetUser-d7s my mom got mine. it was a month before my 17th bday & i didn't have a license yet. she worked a block from a SOUND WAREHOUSE so i just had her get 'em on her lunch break instead of coming home, THEN having to go out again to get 'em. i could've skated to the one closer to home but that would've sucked in that brutal NEW ORLEANS heat.
Bottom line is Countdown blows the Black album completely out of the universe 8 times today and 20 times on Sunday The Black album is pretty much horseshit if you ask me.... At least compared to what Metallica was before that....
@@19Bearsfansince79 no, you're a fanboy for trying to say how much better Countdown is than the Black Album when a.) that's debatable, and b.) this video doesn't even mention Metallica or the Black Album.
I prefer the original mix of the album. I don't know what prompted Dave to re-mix and re-record certain parts of this album, but the drum tracks on the newer mix suck royally. There's no heaviness to them, and they sound rather anemic. On the original mix, the drums were a lot more tight and focused. However, you can't get the original version of the album anymore, and that sucks even more!
Ashes In Your Mouth is such a killer song! They never play it! Their setlist is basically the same every show! Cool that they've played The Conjuring lately, though.
Where do we go from here?
Glad I got to see them play The Conjuring recently. Ashes In Your Mouth is one of the best though!
@@DaveThomson And should we really care?
I'm lucky that I caught them on the anniversary tour of this album and got to hear it. It was great!
@@MercyNoMore That's awesome! 👍🏼🤘🏼
Why Psychotron doesn't get enough love is beyond me. That simple but bone piercing chorus riff is one most bands wished they wrote
That one has a great riff, I love the song.
The solos on that one are ones for the books. Some of the most technical on any Megadeth album. Friedman still holds the crown if you ask me for the skill of all the Megadeth lead axemen. Just my opinion... I never got into Polands playing much but his contributions to Ashes of the Wake the song were stellar.
Go To Hell is my all time fav Megadeth tune and they've played it live enuff times to count on one hand. :-(
who ever told you that it doesn't get love?
Just a MASSIVELY badass song all up, like ALL their somgs
Another lesser known bit about Megadeth is that 3 titles come from the 80s transformer cartoon:
"It's music! The symphony of destruction and the anthem of agony!” -Galvatron, air date: Sept 1986
You deserve that all right Megajerk, rust in peace! -Trailbreaker, air date: Sept 1985
And "Countdown to Extinction" is the title of a Transformers episode that aired on Dec 1 1984.
Dave said that rust in peace came from a newspaper he saw about nuclear weapons, that said may they (nuclear weapons) rust in peace
@@Noamyo10 It is very possible they are all 3 coincidences. Rust in Peace could be a pre-existing play on words. But it is also very possible Dave was drugged out on a couch with 80's programming on tv in the background, he hears the words "symphony of destruction" and he looks up, like, "shit, that's metal!"
@@HankScorpio1982 I like your theory. Sounds about right.
@derping for americants Have you read Dave's autobiography? A 'high' possibility he was barely clean at any time *until* this record was in production
@@Noamyo10 in his book he says it was a bumper sticker on a car ! Lol
Skin O’ My Teeth was one of the first songs by Megadeth I’d ever heard and helped me get into metal, still has a special place in my heart.
In My Darkest Hour has the strongest pull on me. Peace Sells & that MTV News take on that baseline imparted in their introduction was televised when I was old enough to "get it." I've been a guitarist since I was 13; or 1987.
Megadeth & Anthrax were probably my earliest metal influences. Lizzy Borden was another early influence.
To this day I find this album to have the most METAL sound. I just love the way the guitars, bass, and drums mix together. Masterpiece.
I remember when I first saw symphony on mtv, to me that guitar tone was IT, so mean and crunchy I thought it was such a nice alternative to the Metallica’s scooped tone (which I also like).
It literally sounds like metal! A crunching, grinding, machinery of greatness. The bass click is the stuff of legend. Best guitar sound EVER. Fire up Architecture of Agression and you’ll find guitar tone perfection.
Wow. I can't believe Rust In Peace was written while Dave was on cigarettes.
He's lucky he was able to be sober enough from the cigs to be able to hold a guitar during the recording of that album.
Lucky that album got made, I don’t understand how he finished it on cigarettes out of all things
This was brilliant, and I didn't know most of these things.

Fun fact, Dave later said he relapsed during countdown and had a bender that almost killed him.
God, Ashes In Your Mouth is such a underrated song. And they barely ever play it!
Also, who in there right minds suggested that they get rid of Vic 😡
they still put him on other albums! the system has failed album cover artwork is awesome.
I bought this album in a cassette before 30 years ago. I still love a lott this album.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles during the l.a. riots. The studio had a basketball court and the guys would play 2 on 2 during recording breaks.
bought this on cassette right when it released. i loved it then, i still love it.
Happy 30th Anniversary to Countdown to Extinction! 30 years heavy and strong 🤘🏽7.14.1992
