MEGADETH THEN VS. NOW - Riffs From Their First Album and Last Album (2023) Riff Battle

One of the most well-known bands in the world and one of the "Big 4" of thrash metal, Megadeth has been writing top notch metal riffs for over 3 decades now. How much has their style changed in the 37 years between their first album, "Killing is my Business... and Business is Good!" and their most recent album, "The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead"? And more importantly, which is better? You be the judge!

All this video shows is that Megadeth/Mustaine is STILL the king of riffs of the Big Four

[@METALMISFIT6]

Exactly..drop mic!

[@skobywankenobi]

2 of the 4 were purely Dave. Metallica never sounded the same after they ran out of his shit to steal, and despite replacing every member of Megadeth except Dave they still sound amazing.
I do wish Dave would bring in a singer with more range than he has now, but they're still fu**ing awesome 40 years later.

[@shawnhall2841]

Ya he is awesome. Period.

[@TheSuffocater]

Great video Thomas ! I prefer the old stuff !

[@ThomasHogue]

It's hard to beat! 😁

[@TobiasHeinzle]

I don’t like Megadeth very much but I have to say they Sound better on their new albums than Metallica…

[@Nexcroo]

Still classic Metallica owns any Megadeth album

[@TobiasHeinzle]

@@Nexcroo I agree with that 👍🏻

[@ThorsHammer88]

Megadeth has always been far superior.

[@JD-vj4go]

The new Megadeth is their first good album since Rust in Peace. But Metallica's last good album was Master of Puppets.

[@XxCyclone7xX]

@@JD-vj4go and justice???

[@dirktucker77]

win/win

[@cracktalestuff1176]

first Megadeth album is just Dave being mad as fck at Metallica and it really shows in his furious riffing, everything is just faster and heavier than Kill Em All, too bad the production sucks..

[@vincegrant3450]

I see this as an absolute win!

[@Tyelkormoko]

Oh man seeing you put in so much effort and even the details like reacting to the songs and making the video more entertaining that way, makes me want to give it my all too! Awesome

[@dave_s_vids]

Great video - I love your production, it's very clever :)

[@sweetypuss]

lmfao you should've compared Looking Down The Cross with Celebutante bc they have basically the same riff in two sections

[@ThomasHogue]

Oh no. You're not wrong 🤣. Main riff also reminds me of Chosen Ones

[@garryaldridge7325]

Dave=Riffgod,love Old and new

[@chrisrueth3204]

Dave has and always will be too complex for the general population. A slim portion of the population understands his music. 🤘🤘

[@corbindallas18]

Nice as always Thomas!

[@ThomasHogue]

Thanks dude!

[@AnthonyWabo]

Epic, wild, creative vs sterile, safe and repetitive

[@claudios6154]

Mustdeth is the great wowww

[@beyfongxhiao9969]

i love megadeth, and i love u

[@Terrierized]

Mega stuff there Thomas 🤘

[@ThomasHogue]

Thank you!

[@smithbacon8868]

Chosen Ones would be a killer riff it was more distorted and had a more death metal style of drumming.

[@colinfischer9183]

Thought this was peter from corridor crew lmao

[@cormacio]

Good video. old stuff wins

[@IvanKushij]

Where Black Metal ???????????????????????

[@ValefarBF]

First!

[@shamilkhizbulaev]

Hope Mustaine saw that, so he knows how suck his music became

[@Ezper-2099]

it got better

[@pipollis]

"How suck his music became" LOL

[@Kamil_Srnka]

​@@Ezper-2099Nah

[@JackBenson-dy6qp]

You wish you can riff like him. Stfu
