LOL Countdown to Extinction was their Black Album. Then they release Youthanasia. I love that album but that was definitely a change of sound. Then you had Cryptic Writings, and Risk. You can’t tell me that’s not “selling out” he’ll even Anthrax sold out. But I still listened. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the music.
This album has some of Daves best thrash riffs period, and the best in this song. This album is their best 80's album, muscle in the sound, attitude, riffs.
drivendown84 Great album, but the original mix was terrible. When they reissued it, it was much more apparent how great & technical the riffs on the album really are.
I remember the first time I saw Megadeth, it was in the early 2000’s, when they had just gotten back together after Dave’s hand injury. They opened the show with this song. Of course, Dave went on stage last, while playing the opening riffs to this song. I remember then they put the spotlight on him while he was walking on stage, he was head banging so hard and playing so aggressively, that it literally looked like he was beating the shit out of the guitar... To this day it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in my life. So fuckin metal.
Same experience but at the Warfield in SF. Intro riff of this song with the spot light and everything . They headlined with Exodus /featuring chuck billy on vocals. It was un fuckin real
+Svil Buscus yeah if I remember correctly, Dave wrote the song while riding on the Greyhound back to Cali when Metallica fired him. the band was supposed to instead be the name of this song.
+ninjastar666lol I've read interviews where Dave talks about being unhappy with the playing an production, but still AWESOME record. My 2nd favorite behind Peace Sells.
This is personally my all time favorite Megadeth song. Hate me if you will but it has my all time favorite guitar solo, which is Jeff Youngs solo near the end. It also has some amazing rhythm guitar riffs.
This song is a testament to the great songwriting ability of Dave. It's his riff monster. You can take basically every thrash band out there and this song will beat or match most of their catalogs. And this isn't even close to Holy Wars in terms of technicality or speed. I effing love it.
The hair, the t-shirt, the headbanging, the jeans, the bullet belt, the riffs, the solos, the vocals... Every single thing of Dave in this video is great.. The guy is an Icon of Thrash and Metal in general.. and this song is a masterpiece!!
This is some rare Megadeth because I sure the hell have NEVER HEARD OR SEEN THIS VERSION OF SET THE WORLD AFIRE! Thank you to whoever put this on You Tube!!!
Might be hard to imagine if Lars is still in the picture, but maybe we would have gotten an absoloutely amazing version of Metallica that would've been even better than Megadeth.
The model is a custom King V and Jackson released signature model based on it back when Mustaine used them. If you search on Ebay for long enough you sure to find one, or if you're lucky one that he actually owned. Of course they come at a price.
wow this sounds so close to the cd its fucking insane! i wish i was alive back in those times =[ seeing megadeth play all there old shit would be so badass
it is generally in "e minor" mustaine utilizes aeolian, phrygian and locrian modes and pentatonic-minor in the key of E and in one part modulates to Locrian mode in B.

He definitely got his revenge and it was pure and never sold out
Risk
He has sold out, but his sel-out material was still awesome

Selling out is selling cups and pants with your logo for example. Megadeth sold out as fuck to be honest but I love them anyway
May have sold out but damn all there songs are good

drivendown84 this album was my number 1# deth album,
Definitely is one of their best albums. Tight record.
Peace Sells with Killing a close second. Songs like Skull Beneath the Skin or My last words can't be denied.
drivendown84 Great album, but the original mix was terrible. When they reissued it, it was much more apparent how great & technical the riffs on the album really are.
drivendown84 Peace Sells id as good if not better than sfsgsw
This album allways gets pushed aside..but I really love this album..so underrated
Being stuck between peace sells and rust in peace is why this album gets looked over
@@kevinrodriguez9701 agreed
It was absolutely incredible when I heard it when it first came out on an awesome sound system.I still remember it.I wish I was still that age!
Wow despite the garbage quality. The drums still sound 10x better than the studio version
So do the vocals. In some parts, at least.
you can tell by the high pitch his voice reaches when he says morning sky, that he is high as fuck.
sillydillydokieo
nah,he is riding the lightning and in the pocket,not on the Nod

What a fucking song. Lyrics riffs, solos, fills... Possibly their best tune.
And Their first
All album the best)
+Svil Buscus yeah if I remember correctly, Dave wrote the song while riding on the Greyhound back to Cali when Metallica fired him. the band was supposed to instead be the name of this song.
Tune like Nuclear Assault
TheyCallMeFilep i thought he wrote it when he was a kid but I could be mistaken
So many good songs on sfsgsw mary jane,502, liar, into the lungs of hell ,in my darkest hour , hook in mouth, favourite megadeth album by far
Mine too, always gets overlooked when discussions of Megadeth albums start. That riff is just monumental
I also love their cover of anarchy
+ninjastar666lol I've read interviews where Dave talks about being unhappy with the playing an production, but still AWESOME record. My 2nd favorite behind Peace Sells.
Filippo Aloisi nope
Filippo Aloisi Megadeth albums from 1985 to 1992 are better that United abominations
This is personally my all time favorite Megadeth song. Hate me if you will but it has my all time favorite guitar solo, which is Jeff Youngs solo near the end. It also has some amazing rhythm guitar riffs.
My fav, but I prefer when Dave is doing all the solos(And Jeff's)
Man, the last solo is perfect. Young was so much inspired back then.
That main guitar riff at 2:40 slays me every time. Just so killer. Epic.
Brent7777 FUCK you hacker😋😋😋
Don't worry, we are judging you, always will
This proves how insanely talented Dave mustane is
epic song, epic album, epic band
Back when metal..TRULY WAS...metal. Such raw....rage..and focus. God I miss this era and I was too young to be at this concert. :(
2:40 in 1987 that was the best fucking riff i had ever heard in my life and prob still is.
Goosebumps every time I hear it.
80's sci-fi intro was epic
At 4:30 there's a quick edited clip from Wake UP Dead when he says "I've had too much to drink,"
the best megadeth song ever...fucking heavy!
Don't hate me, but anyone else love jeff young?
Rob Full man Yeah he's great. I'd say it was a real pity he got kicked out... but we got Marty :^)
I like his solos a lot. My favourite is Poland but I think Jeff is quite underappreciated as well. He gets a bad rep by many people.
I like him too
They should start every concert with this song or last rites/loved to death that would kick ass
One of the best songs from a really underrated MD albums!
3:32 never knew Dave could sweep like a lord.
He was much more technically gifted then we originally thought
the best live version of this song
Eye don't want to set the world on fire. Eye just want to start a fire in your hearts""

You gotta wonder how they ever got into those jeans. Well, 20 years ago I wore those myself and wonder how I got into them those days :)
A nice little ditty for my funeral.
That was incredible!! They kick ass!! I miss that stuff so much
i know megadeth set the world afire...and it's still burning today
jeff young is such a kickass guitarist and dave is a god
The hair, the t-shirt, the headbanging, the jeans, the bullet belt, the riffs, the solos, the vocals... Every single thing of Dave in this video is great.. The guy is an Icon of Thrash and Metal in general.. and this song is a masterpiece!!
Jeff Young kickin' ass
This song is easily one of their best and the lead up part of the song gets u pumped for wats gonna happen next in the song.
easily one of my favorite songs.
just want to everone out there most underated megadeth song ever great heavy fast blistering song they have ever done!!!
ONE OF THE BEST MEGADETH SONGS!!!
just incredible
Megadeth tem que voltar a tocar essas músicas antigas
yea, it took me a while to get into but now its one of my favorites of theirs
Nobody can play this solo like Jeff.. Hes fucking underrated yet fucking good. And what I mean by good is extraordinary good like Dave, Marty, Poland.
Read the lyrics with the song cause Megadeth unlike most bands (especially in todays music) writes lyrics that make sense and are very effective.
This is amazing!!!!!!
This is some rare Megadeth because I sure the hell have NEVER HEARD OR SEEN THIS VERSION OF SET THE WORLD AFIRE! Thank you to whoever put this on You Tube!!!
AGREED. Well done. :))
I saw Megadeth live in NY, the same year 1988. My favorite thrash band. Dave is total badass.
awesome
Wow and what a line up
Thank God DAVID MUSTANG got kicked out of Metallica or we wouldn't have MEGADETH!!!!
Dave Mustaine***
+John Bensing That made me cringe so badly ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I dunno...kinda like "Mustang," LOL! It wouldn't be a bad knickname for him. :DD
Might be hard to imagine if Lars is still in the picture, but maybe we would have gotten an absoloutely amazing version of Metallica that would've been even better than Megadeth.
Are you high? Jeff hanneman was kicked out of cannibal corpse
a piece of thrash metal history right here, thanks for posting this dude!
I MISS A LOT THAT DISTORSION!!!
Dave is a fucking demon...he rules every single thrash metal band
The model is a custom King V and Jackson released signature model based on it back when Mustaine used them. If you search on Ebay for long enough you sure to find one, or if you're lucky one that he actually owned. Of course they come at a price.
megadeth is the greatest metal band, everything a metal band should be
Awesome to see the original band from this album live!
Thx for uploading!
Megadeth rules!
I ALWAYS thoght that the intro was one song and the other part was another!!! Its so amazing!!!
the ending solo its great...jeff uses a exotic lick at the bigining of the solo *_*

Megadeth 4 LIFE!
-"...No one will be left to prove that humans existed..." Epic line.

simplemente me vuela la cabeza....
Gotta love those shoes.

This album introduced me to Megadeth .....

Loved the part where they had The Inkspots in the intro.
Chuck was very fun live

I think this is one of the best songs ever, megadeth rulz
