Cliff Burton Died so Megadeth did this

- Cliff Burton of Metallica is considered by many to be the greatest BASS player in the metal genre. Unfortunately, Cliff passed away in a bus accident while on tour with Metallica in 1986. Cliff and Dave Mustaine of Megadeth were close friends, so when Dave heard the news of Cliff's passing he had an emotional meltdown. He went to downtown LA and purchased heroin to medicate his pain. It was during this time that he wrote "In My Darkest Hour." A track inspired by the accident. This track is a brilliant piece of music that utilizes guitar orchestration and music theory. Get on Dave Mustaine's level and take my music theory course below. It's time to sign away your soul to the dark side muhahahah!

Shred dude I need private lessons can u at least zoom with me to see we're I'm at?
In My Darkest Hour lyrics are about one of Dave's ex girlfriends. The instrumental is dedicated to Cliff.
it’s often misinterpreted that this song is about cliff, but it is in fact just one of the many things that influenced this masterpiece…
The instrumental is for Cliff, the lyrics are for an ex of Dave.
@@KimoFest Diana...
To be fair, most Megadeth songs have at least a little Diana sprinkled throughout.
@@KimoFest facts
This is the first music Dave wrote after hearing about Cliff's death, but the lyrics are about Diana, as are a great many of Megadeth's lyrics.
This song in my opinion is one of the best Megadeth songs...my son who passed 2yrs ago loved this band. We weren't close until the end so this song speaks to me.
That is so tragic, I’m so sorry
Im whit you for sad moments
There isn't much I would not give to be able to hear what Cliff Burton and Dave Mustaine might have written together since 1986 had he lived.
GET CLIFF B. AND RANDY R. TOGETHER ON A TRACK!
The song isn't about Cliff. Dave wrote it after Cliff died but its actually about a ex girlfriend.
Yup, Dave has said it was inspired by Cliff and was a tribute to him, but lyrically has nothing to do with his death although I can see why it would be interpreted that way
@@wcnmvp3820 the MUSIC was written for cliff. Not the lyrics
I had a megadeth bootleg album and before he started playing he said himself he wrote that song for cliff burton
Love that you know that with a DOOM picture!
@@luisperez-soriano2399 I listen to everything from Eazy E to Darkthrone
Epic Megadeth. I believe Dave stated this is yet another one about Wake Up Dead Diana. Broderick is another world class player, Dave sure can pick them. Its hard to compare Chris with Marty, Chris P and Kiko. We are very fortunate to be able to watch these guys play their hearts out, I like them all. I have listened to more and more of Kikos solo projects and he is really something special and I cant wait to see Kiko jam with the best band in the land.
Chris Broderick is my favorite former-Megadeth guitarist.
Chris Broderick is my favorite former Megadeth guitarist that I got to see. I never saw Poland, Young or Friedman. And I haven't seen Kiko yet.
Chris Poland is my fav former Megadeth guitar player
Are you going to see them soon?
Seeing them in 4 days!
Actually this song is awesome..Dave's vocals are really great on this one.
hidden gem for sure
@@ShredmasterScott I saw megadeth live that year and I love Dave ive seen em over 10 times from 2008-2022 but unfortunately im 99% sure that Dave over dubs some of his vocals... Killer performance but I dont remember him sounding that good live I think ever.
Also the music was written when he heard about cliffs death, he claims in one fell stroke. and the lyrics are about an old girlfriend, I believe diana who he sings about in multiple other tracks.
Yeah this was Dave at his very best. First time I heard this song I was shocked. I had never heard it and I thought his voice was a lot more natural than the stuff that came out later. The Marty Years were when his vocals started to really annoy me. Other than RIP I am not a big fan of that era.
@@benharamaty9357 yep this one is definitely overdubbed. You can tell at 5:10 of this video, when Dave sings "how hard I tried". His mouth doesn't move on how hard lol.
Still an awesome version of one of their best songs though so whatever
At 6:55 you can tell he is using live auto tune so take that into an account. Still a great performance though.
My favorite megadeth song.
Burton's death was the inspiration for this song, but the lyrics are not mostly about him. Hes in there though, just Dave is talking about being so isolated and also Mustaine explained that he treasures his relationship with his fans, who have shown him the kind of support he didn't get as a kid and relationships and pain of losing someone close.
Dave is a complete genius. Hands down. All there is to it. His songs are so dynamic and straight forward. He hides nothing. He lets it all out.
"In My Darkest Hour" is Megadeth's version of Cliff's "For Whom The Bell Tolls." It's all about the triplets!!!
I've always felt like this song is more like Megadeth's equivalent of Fade To Black.
(nearly) the whole album is in triplets!
I remember reading the lyrics to the song and thought how ballsy it was to just pour your heart out and show how vulnerable you're feeling...something rarely ever done in a metal song. It just showed me how REAL Dave is in his songwriting. His lyrics are one of the main reasons I love Megadeth.
I'm glad Dave beat cancer and we still have more music to hear from him. It takes a toll on you being in a fight for your life. The treatment is brutal too. It's hard to believe this was only 10 years ago. Dave looks like he's aged 30 years since this performance. Cancer sucks.
Best metal vocalist and guitarist of all time..imo..people pick on Dave’s voice but I think it’s iconic..
Thats what I always thought because his voice always drew attention because it was unique compared to a bunch of other metal singers
Yeah, and Randy Watson can sing.
“That boy can sing. He good!”
Iconic doesn’t mean good
Hetfield will always be the best thrash metal vocalist
@@thedrunkphilosopher3123 punk and metal singers don't have to be good . in fact I prefer they are not . Dave has a badass sinister metal voice .
I think it's one of Dave's best vocal performances live, and the song it, it gets in your head.
I love all the little licks and harmony lines in Megadeth songs
I love this reaction/analysis/ lesson format brother! Keep ‘em coming
I've always loved this song. it sounds like man who's heart is being slowly torn to shreds. I used to listen to it, in one of the most mentally painful times in my life.
I think Dave Mustaine understands music theory the same way I do... Not at all, but is able to recognize certain aspects of music just as an avid fan and listener, and implement them into his songwriting without really fully understanding what theory or technique was used.
Hey Shred love you man this is from their 2010 Rust In Peace 20th reunion tour. They played the entire Rust in Peace album front to back with no stops in between before pulling out this gem here and a few others for an extended encore. This show is quite possibly the best I've ever heard Megadeth sound live.
The raw emotion in this song...
Always felt that... man he captured that shit.... genius
I was at that show. Mindblowing how tight Megadeth always is. Dave is a genius even if he sometimes gets out of hand. Brilliant.
The best live version of this song is on That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires, it has Dave's best vocals, he even hits the high notes.
Wake up dead is an awesome one 🤟 and since Dave and Lamb of God did this song together recently, its definitely renewed my love for this song!!
Bought the course brother. Looking forward to it. And subbed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm a keyboard player with some background in every other instrument, including guitar lol. 🤘
Muhahaha yes!
Video starts at 1:43
One of my favourite songs by Megadeth. I fell for the intro, riff carnage and the drumming when i first heard it. Sure there are songs by the band that are more technical, but this one is easily one of my favourites
This was th song that introduced me to Megadeth back in 88-89. So intense, I luv angry, crazy Dave!
Angry and crazy Dave was the best. I guess if he had continued like that though he would be dead by now, but like a lot of other amazing musicians he wrote a lot of his best stuff while deep in the shit of drugs.
@@claudiofalconetti yes he did! Straight from th soul, shit. Yeah, he'd definitely be dead w/o getting clean
Megadeth’s music is very cerebral. I can see why Shred likes dissecting it so much.
This makes me excited for new Megadeth material! High expectations from the snippets so far heard. Brilliant vocals on this performance.
A 10 and a half minute ad. Thank goodness you answered the burning question in the first minute.
5:37 sounds good because the vocals were re-recorded... such a shame :( i hate that they did that with the Big 4 DVD as well...
I really enjoy listening to the album, "So far, So good, So what?" I have the remastered deluxe copy, and it contains some interesting remixes that sound great!
It is quite different from a lot of earlier Megadeth stuff. You can really tell Dave was in a really bad place when they made the album. it is so packed with anxiety and anger. It is a very raw album. I like how they all really sound like they are on drugs, but how Dave still manages to keep it together. It is such a contrast to Rust In Peace. But it also packs a lot of progressive moments. The song writing on many of the songs are interesting.
Yes to me that is such an underrated album that album is awesome into the lungs of hell what a great great instrumental that's one of my favorite Megadeth albums 502 people miss that album they should go back and listen to it cuz it's awesome
Hook in mouth 💪
Easily one of Megadeths best songs
For me it wasn’t one of my favorites but once I learned the song was inspired by the death of Cliff, it made me think more about it so it shot up into the top 20, 3rd fav on SFSGSW behind Hook in Mouth, and Set the World Afire.
Chris Broderick's white Ibanez LACS RGA is one of my favorite looking guitars ever. So classy looking.
can you analyze chris poland guitar playing??
Hey Shred! I would love to hear you piece apart Take No Prisoners from the rust in piece album. I think its the best thrash track Megadeth has made, and I hope you agree!
Dave is a absolute genius when it comes music theory not to mention how hard is it to sing over those complex riffs, and that in my darkest hour is one of my favourite megadeath songs ever it's such a powerful song.
Also thank you for this video! One of my favorite songs before i even knew the meaning behind the song writing
That was a wicked performance of, for me at least, a complex piece of music. You're right too, Dave sounds great here.
Apparently his vocals were recorded in the studio as he was struggling in this era. They were still playing in E standard here.
So Far, So Good... So What? is a very underrated album. Jeff Young and Chuck Behler don't get enough credit. I remember them taking a lot of the brunt of the criticism of that record.
I also see the lyrics as possibly being from Cliff's point of view, like you mentioned. I think it's like an F-you to James and Lars for not being there for him, maybe specifically his POV as he was dying... Only Dave knows but it sounds like that to me.
🤘🏼💙
That intro really is an emotional roller coaster
@Shred - I love your sense of serious humor. You're hilarious man !
Always loved this song a lot!! Like how it slowly progresses into a heavier sound while still using the main riff used earlier in the song!! To answer your question, I personally think this is a better song than tornado of souls. If I HAD to choose. I was also always a big fan of Chris Broderick. I think sometimes he got too much criticism for not having enough feeling or sounding robotic on his solos. But I think he did a great job recreating the original sound of each song which came from multiple guitarists throughout megadeth's years. Def not the easiest thing to pull off imo!!!
Chris Broderick is classical trained and he was in Nevermore with Jeff Loomis before Megadeth playing 7 string guitars. Nevermore were great live.
So question, i’ve heard Dave said in multiple interviews that he was on a tour bus when he heard about the death of Cliff and he wrote this song in my darkest hour and one swoop right there on the bus at least all the lyrics, just out of curiosity where did you hear he wrote it on dope? Because during that time I could’ve thought that’s when him and Marty were really trying to stay sober
He hadn’t even met Marty at this point
To me, the way Dave arranged this song, hearks back to the material he helped write on KEA and RtL. It's almost a blend of ideas from Call of Cthulu and For Whom the Bell Tolls.
Can't wait for his next album in July!!!
That crunchy riff when the song gets going. This is in my top 5 Mega songs.
In Dave's book he talks about his love for cliff. Smoking "cliffs shitty homegrown weed" on the way to band practice.
Can you play "In My Lightest Hour"
And thank you for the videos! And an kiko is the best next to marty hands down! Both chriss are next in line
Dave might not understand the terminology but he definitely understands music theory. It is much like Eddy Vanm Halen. Eddy railed against theory passionately and yet there was so much about his writing that conveyed an intimate knowledge of how scales and chords are supposed to fit together. The beauty of what they do is that they are not bound by the rules so they can go off script in a moment's notice and yet somehow they always manage to make it work in such a tasteful and beautiful manner that makes us mere mortals scratch our heads in disbelief. Musical genius at work!!!!
the 1992 london performance is my favorite live version of this song
The finger positioning of his opening chord progression is a real challenge for anyone wanting to level up. Try it without making any blemishes, squeaks, squops or squarks...then you know you're good!
Dave said it was about a girl
I've read interviews where Dave has said that Cliff's death put him in the frame of mind to write the song, but that the song isn't necessarily about Cliff's death.
my personal favorite megadeth guitarist was Cris Poland.....for sure......
Name 3 of your fav Poland megadeth solos
Chris Broderick solo was originally written by Former Megadeth Guitarist Jeff Young who on “ so Far So Good So What” playing was phenomenal and had a real unique tone.
Since Megadeth had quit a few amazing players it would be cool if you made reference to them rather than Chris Broderick who is just covering their playing.
how come you mainly watch the more recent performances, why not the 80s or the 90s, Live in Essen Germany is my favorite performance of Darkest Hour
I have always wondered how cliff felt about kicking dave out of metallica. it seemed like they was close to me. I have searched the net to try to find out if anything was said about it but i could never find anything about it.
There’s an interview with Burton after Dave was kicked out and Kirk was hired on. Burton seemed pretty high/tired during the interview but he was quite respectful. He said Lars and James thought it was good for the band to fire Dave because Dave had some problems. Said he trusted them to make the right decision. You could tell he was being respectful to both Dave and Metallica. Seemed like a real good guy
@@StewMain6 Yeah he seemed to be the reasonable one and also the quiet one.
Holy shit! It never stops building. Wow
What do you think about bassists in general & in particular with Megadeth?
I know there are lots of fans who don't like Broderick so much. While I don't care much for the albums he recorded on, his playing solos live on stage of previous Megadeth lead guitarists is phenomenal. It's as close to Poland, Young or Friedman you can get without having them on stage again. Side note, I would be willing to play $$$ to see a Megadeth reunion tour with Poland, Young and Friedman playing their songs with Dave off the first seven albums.
This has been the" stay strong " song through my life
KILLER SONG! MISSED THIS ERA OF MEGADETH! A EMOTIONAL SONG!🎼🎸😭🤘👊
In my darkest hour is one if my favorite megadeth songs. Megadeth is awesome!
This is the best Live performance by Dave I think I’ve ever seen! The singing is fantastic music is spot on and kick ass! THIS IS TRUE METAL UP YOUR ASS! There is no one better. Megadeth shreds all .
Very emotional song yes
Tornado is my ultimate favorite
Holy wars also
Mary Jane also hauntingly amazing
So hard to pic a fav.
This track tho ..so dam good. This entire album is straight Bangers start to finish.
Question do I have to stay EVIL!?
How about mostly good and QUASI - EVIL?
I wish you would play some Pantera on this channel. Please thanks.
that drum kit is for sale on reverb rn
They still has Jr in the band!!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
I always appreciated the pick slides to emulate the laughing
One of my favorite songs by anyone. Definitely connect with it.
Was expecting the emotional damage video to pop up. Oh well
I remember watching that Video from the metal years I had that VCR tape it was my favorite I played everyday
mmm I wonder if @Shred is a Megadeth fan! :)
Is it just me or do those vocals sound pre-recorded or post-recorded? They don't sound live to me.
Because they are.
That was a great Megadeth performance! \m/
this song gives me chills every time i hear it
You can tell that this song means a lot for Dave.
sorry. I am not that good in English... justa a question. Did you say that Kiko doesn't know music theory? is that what you said?
No, Kiko said Dave doesn't know theory
@@karmasyde Thank you so much
@@Mikeeff0 you are welcome
my lyrics would be in my darkest hour my hands hurt like hell from playing badass riffs like these...
Dave Mustaine is a Metal Guitar God! When "United Abominations" came out with the opening track "Sleepwalker", this was a total realization. The Guitar break is too insane.
One of my favorite tunes. It's in the key of E minor. Watch out for the change!
I think In My Darkest Hour is one of Megadeth's best tracks
this song is my favourite deth song ever, lyrics riffs solos its all beautyfull
I love this song! So Far, So Good...So What is my favorite Megadeth album!
By the way, the music was written with Cliff in mind. The lyrics are about Diana once again. Dave loves to write love songs about Diana. 😂
Kiko said Dave doesn't know music theory? Jeff Young said the same thing. Chris Broderick and Dave both said he seems to understand theory even if he doesn't know the proper terminology.
💥😎💥Shred, I would Reckon that some of Cliff and Dave's conversations may have included topics such as, I don't know, perhaps Music Theory! Shred, before you even got in your first rebuttal to Kiko, I knew one, that Kikos vid was a rebuttal to yours, and that two, Kiko was wrong...Dave must've told him to be quiet because we haven't heard a peep on the matter after his second limp wristed respone...great guitar player, though Kiko is, Open Source and No Gravity, the one with Enfermo as its first track are the best...AHT HAHAHAHA!💥😎💥
To be fair, you can establish a solid grasp of something without technically "knowing" it in an academic, textbook type of way. You can even demonstrate this understanding without being able to explain your process within the parameters of the prescribed academic formula. The fact that someone isn't able to articulate their actions using the conventional language of a particular discipline doesn't necessarily mean that they don't understand said discipline. Ppl absorb things differently and conceptualization can vary wildly from one person to the next. Maybe it all comes down to how you want to define "knowing" a particular thing... I guess some ppl mostly look at it through an academic lens while others see it as having more to do with application. One aspect might tend to overshadow the other in some cases, but I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive. Either way, Dave is definitely an extremely talented musician who thoroughly understands the finer points of writing incredible songs and his application is like no other. I'm just glad we've been able to enjoy his music all these years and I'm really glad he finally seems happy with everything he's accomplished.
i like this song better then a lot of there best songs. just so good and you can feel his pain
No one talk about Jeff?
Kudos to his amazing work in this amazing album!
Love the guitars in this🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yep sound is really good and they played it very well.
I prefer Chris Broderick as Megadeth’s lead guitarist. Check out Headcrusher and Death from Above*, they really showcase the guitar work both Mustaine and Broderick were capable of. I just don’t think they’ve been able to replicate that intensity since Broderick left.
*Sudden Death
My oldest sister has the same birthday as Cliff Burton. 10th of February. She died of a heart attack last year, at the age of 30
Ironically, I share the birthday of Lars Ulrich. 26th of December. Although I was born in 2001, but anyway.
Look folks , Metal and Rock Guitarists don't want the public to know they know Music Theory because these Guitarists want to seem self taught . Being a Music Student like
EVH
Randy Rhoads
Steve Vai
Jimmy Page
Paul Gilbert
Slash
Steve Lynch
Reb Beach
Marty Friedman
Chris Broderick
Russ Parrish
Michael Angelo Batio
in a Music Institution or getting Music Theory lessons is looked down upon
George Lynch once said he didn't know Music Theory / Modes / or Scales if someone put a gun to his head . But he makes countless instructional videos in the 80s demonstrating Paganini instrumentals . Then he mentions 3rd 5ths 7ths , Major / Minor Notes / Chords Shapes Phrases Passages in his instructions that would contradict his assertions .
Chris Broderick was killer in this. Also the headbanging \m/
7:01 solo out of nowhere lol
(First) shred is awesome rock on man!
Chris Broderick has a brilliant showmanship.
