      Dave wrote the Mechanix, in fact if you listen the demo album “No life ‘till leather” before Kill ‘Em All, the Mechanix is there, when Dave got fired from Metallica he forbidden them to use his music but James and Lars didn’t care so they just “adjust” it a little and when Kill ‘Em All came out Dave was fuming seeing that they used his music so forming his own band (Megadeth) dave used the original songs he wrote but sped the tempo up because Megadeth does not sound anything like Metallica even if Dave could make it if he wanted.
      That’s 1/1000 of the entire history between Dave, Metallica and Megadeth vs Metallica rivalry that went on for decades.

      I could be wrong, but I think I read that the original song had the music of the four horsemen and the lyrics of Mechanix. Then when Dave got booted Metallica changed the lyrics. Then when Dave was showing up Metallica with more aggressive music, he kept his lyrics and made the song faster.

    Peace sells and wake up dead are my favorite Megadeth songs. My suggestion for the next video is: Wake up dead which has the best lyrics ever hahahah, In my darkest hour which is a song that according to Dave Mustaine, the instrumental of this song was created with the feeling he was feeling at the time that Cliff Burton died, but the lyrics are dedicated to Dave's ex-fiancée Diana(Her name is mentioned in the song wake up dead) and Symphony of destruction, because whoever is a Megadeth fan has to know their main song.

    The version of Tornado of Souls you listened to was a remastered version from the 2000s that generally makes Dave's vocals sound really bad. Also the instruments sound even better on the original. Most of the time I don't say remasters matter all that much (as far as if your first listening is remastered or original) but in the case of Megadeth these are really bad. When you do listen to more Megadeth, and especially Rust in Peace, try and make sure it's the original and not remastered; that's my advice. Also Dave's voice in general is usually the sticky point for people getting into Megadeth, so don't feel too discouraged. Love the channel :)

    Devil's Island is probably my favorite off of _Peace Sells._ It's a banger. Also the first two songs off of _So Far, So Good, So What_ are a masterpiece. One song leads into the other, so it's basically one song in my mind. It's like Megadeth's version of Foreplay/Long Time by Boston.

      She said, in her first reaction video that she had an image of metal based on some death she had heard long ago, and that it wasn't really her thing. It might have changed, but it's better to go progressively. It would be too bad if she were to miss out on the whole genre just because she wasn't yet at the point of appreciating that.

    The drums on Peace Sells and Mechanix are by the spectacular Gar Samuelson R.I.P, he was in a jazz band along with the second guitarist Chris Poland before joining Megadeth . Tornado of Souls have Nick Menza R.I.P on drums and Marty Friedman on guitar, Megadeth is known from have amazing musicians. Good Mourning/Black Friday and Hangar 18 are mandatory Megadeth songs for beginners.

    Here’s the issue with the vocals on _Tornado of Souls:_ they were re-recorded in 2004, and you listened to the re-recorded version. The original 1990 recording sounds very different, and in my opinion, the vocals sound much better.

      @Charlie.Cisneros 2 роки тому +1

      My understanding was that the only rerecorded vocals on the RIP remaster from 2004 were on Take No Prisoners. Five Magics uses an alternate take from 1990, but Tornado of Souls is the original vocal afaik.

    • @chrismeadows4216
      @chrismeadows4216 2 роки тому

      @@Charlie.Cisneros you can tell mostly in the backing vocals that there are subtle differences rather than just in how they're mixed. It's staggering. Less obvious with this song than others.

    12:27 His name is Marty Friedman. Known in the guitar world simply as "Marty". He is a real live fucking legend.

    Rust in Peace definitely deserves its own reaction. Every song on it is fire. If you only want to do three, though, I'd recommend Holy Wars, Lucretia, and Polaris.

  • @aurelienaurie8487
    @aurelienaurie8487 3 роки тому +6

    You gotta listen to Holy Wars, Good Mourning and In My Darkest Hour. The drums from Nick Menz (drummer of rust in peace) are also of a very high level - perhaps Tornado of Souls is not the best song to showcase his drums, try Rust in Peace - Polaris from the same album.
    You may also have thought the vocals were a tad odd in tornado of souls because you listened to the 2004 remixes rather than the originals, with the 2004 mixes considered to be worse, with vocal tracks for some songs even being rerecorded. It can make a surprisingly big difference.
    Glad you're enjoying megadeth. :))

    Rust In Peace is a G.O.A.T. album. Virtually every track on it is worth a reaction video, especially Holy Wars (watch the music video!), Five Magics, and the title track. Nick Menza is the drummer who took over after Garr, and I promise you will love him, the dude is an absolutely freakshow on the kit.

    I'm an old metalhead from the 70's, you've got a good start with your reactions so far. I would suggest Triumph's songs 'Blinding Light Show / Moonchild' 1976(It's like a harder version of Pink Floyd to me), follow it with Little 'Texas Shaker' from 1977(reminds me of Jimi H.) and end it with the epic hit from 1979 song 'Lay it on the line'.

    On your question about how fast the drummer is, that is because they use double strokes. Basically each time he swings a stick or kicks the pedal he lets it rebound a second time basically doubling the speed that he can accomplish with one motion.

    Fun fact- Even none Metal fans who grew up in the 1990's know the bass line that is tbeintro to Peace Sells.
    Back when MTV used to play music Videos and nor wall to wall reality tv garbage they would occasionally interrupt the programs to bring breaking stories in Music news or even in World News. the intro to Peace sells was used as the intro to MTV news. When we learned that Kurt Cobain from Nirvana, Princess Diana, The Notorious B.I.G and Tupac had died we heard that intro bass line.

    Rust in peace, as a whole album, is fantastic. Marty Friedman is a spectacular guitarist. The older albums are fun as well, I particularly like Peace Sells. Countdown to Extinction is another solid choice, but that is more 90s...then again, though, the 90s was where Megadeth really shined.

If you return, I'd recommend "Looking Down the Cross," "My Last Words" and "Victory." It was sad that Gar was kicked, but he was selling the band's gear for drug money. And I'll agree that Dave isn't a great singer, I can't think of anyone else who replace him for vocalist.

    The crazy thing about the first two albums was that Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson were jazz/fusion musicians. That definitely gave Megadeth an edge over the other bands from the time.
