The best Megadeth song in my opinion. It's like their business card showcasing everything they were about. If you want to introduce the band to someone who isn't familiar - go with this song for sure.
You nailed it. The tempo changes, the ten million riffs per song, the anger, the speed... this song epitomizes Megadeth. I wish they still wrote stuff like this. Of course, the production wouldn't be the same today.
Ah man you got it all wrong, early megadeth is riffsalad. this track for example has 16 riffs. it starts slow and slowly becomes faster and faster. it didn't click for you, try it another time. i was like you at first. and they don't make stuff like this anymore, this track specifically never have been covered correctly by any human being, specially the lead sections. mustaine and poland technical abilities were out of this world. black friday in my opinion is one of the first proto death metal songs, evil riffs, haunting atmosphere, chainsaw riffs and specially the lyrics.
The song is not supposed to be a standard verse-chorus-verse-chorus song because the song is about a maniac bludgeoning his victims to death with a hammer before cutting them up. It's frantic. Even at the end of the song, during the "Black Friday, paint the devil on the wall' the tempo is slowly increasing. Check out, for those of you who have not heard it, the early 3 member recorded Megadeth concert at Berkley in November 1984 with Junior and Gar but without Chris. Early versions of Good Mourning/Black Friday, Wake Up Dead and My Last Words from the second album were played. Great stuff. Just a few notes on the solos... There are four. Chris Poland plays the first slower solo (or fills) at the beginning. Dave plays the next two shredding solos. The last solo is Chris. It is one of my favorite solos from Chris. The emotion at the beginning with the bends followed by the fluidity and speed of the notes which come next... gives me goose bumps even today. Megadeth is my favorite metal band, has been for years. But I do listen to other bands. I mentioned them before, Celtic Frost. Early extreme metal. Check out 'Jewel Throne' from 1985. After the first three albums, the band went a different way, but their first three albums are good.
There are a lot of people who have heard of Megadeth and know them by only Holy Wars and Symphony of Destructıon. You or I might not like imagining it but young people exist.
This song actually was written (musically) as an instrumental, it wasnt supposed to have singing, thats why it was a lot more complicated as a song, by having so many riffs. If you listen to the other songs in the album, they are a bit simpler, either verse chorus verse chorus, or either verse verse bridge verse chorus. Although they do write songs with many many riffs in them in general, thats what they're known for.
Dude I really appreciate the honesty and respect. I really like the way you view metal. I'm a huge metal fan and guitarist myself And I can see that we have totally opposite views in metal like for example what you said about this song how it has potential but it needs to be glued together its just riffs and solos. I can totally see that but in my perception that's the reason megadeth is my favorite band. I can also see how dave Mustaine's solos never go anywhere but I love that. It's just so awesome to see others opinions being opposite from mine it really shows the inner self of a musician/metal head Thanks
your very best shred yet! (that I've watched) - great react as always...I knew a heavy-hitter would find your channel; it's damn good...glad to have found you early on in your RUclips career!
Considering the song is about a man who gets possessed by a demon and goes on to do killings that are then called 'black friday'. It has progression, as if the demon is slowly possessing this man, and once it kicks into the heavy part its as if the demon is fully in control. Which really adds to the story, it shows how the song is able to tell a story by itself without lyrics, and the lyrics are like the icying on top.
Catchy predictable rhythms are ok. But when you get a chance to hear a song with chaotic mayhem that has structural meaning, you just have to appreciate the genius that it is. Sometimes, as with this song, the music matches the meaning behind the lyrics.
Death~ Flattening of Emotions.... would be a great one to check out. Things got more proggy after the Human album which absolutely changed the death metal world already in 1991. Do it! Chuck Schuldiner was a genius.
A band with some technical, fast stuff called Annihilator (Not that shitty, shock value band Infant Annihilator). A few stand out tracks you'd probably enjoy are Imperiled Eyes, Word Salad, Bloodbath, Ultra-Motion, Denied, Haunted (preferably the original), Demon Code, and The Trend. Other than them, a few other stand out bands are Metal Church (more simple yet never a let down), Overkill, Death Angel, Fear Factory, Rings of Saturn, Warbringer, and Havok, just to name some.
Hard to say if Peace Sells or Rust in Peace is their best album, but this was definitely my favorite line up. Something a little different for you, Hall of the Mountain King by Savatage
Hall of the mountain King is my favourite Metal album, I still don't understand how they get this new producer change their sound to this, but none of the subsequent albums sound anything like this.
What's up dude? I think Megadeth catalogue is vast and littered with a revolving door of great musicians is probably one of the reasons you have many requests .There's fans from each era of Megadeth history who have their faves from each. So lets do something you like Opeth live at Red Rocks or Royal Albert Hall your choice! Surprise us brother. Hope the job works out. See you on the next one. P.S. Lube Tube sux for not showing you as recommended on my end. I have to remind myself to check if you have put out a new vid every couple of days. I can't stand those pricks! Lol.
Have you heard of Rivers of Nihil? I tried to think of a band I know that is on the smaller end of listeners, so I wanted to ask if you've heard of them. I first heard of them just shy of 2 months ago and I've enjoyed every song I've listened to of theirs.
You say ‘another solo’ as if that’s a bad thing. Jesus, man you’re a guitar player! Chris Poland was a jazz-trained metal guitarist. Listening to him his fantastic. Also, one of things that made this album great, when I first heard it , was the fact that it had songs that were ‘non-traditionally’ structured. Aren’t there enough songs that go Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Bridge Solo Bridge Verse Chorus?
React to something by Budgie, something off of their few first albums would be a good pick. I may suggest Guts which is the first song off of their first record.
Great music paints a picture of what you are listening to. The song writing here is amazing, and it flows effortlessly. I personally don’t care for black metal. Not enough melody or groove to that genre. Your guitar playing is excellent though. Really liked the soloing you did at the end
didn't expect a video where a *black metal* guitarist reacts to something soft. I always encounter pop fans straight up listening to gorgoroth and skipping the soft stuff first. That being said, I love black metal...
man u go talent but u new kids r so spoiled by todays shiny pre-pkgd sound-alike metal of today. you have NO idea how u got there & some of you need a lil respect & a touch of humility about it. this song is a thrash metal classic by ALL metal standards. and nxt time @ least solo in the right damn key mr "just-missing-one-thing". smh lol
"new kids", man I've been listening to metal for 20 years. For the solo it is simply because I do not know any theory. It is just for fun. I'm not recording a song here.

Black metal guitarist overwhelmed by song that has progression instead of being tremolo picked dyads in E minor for 4 minutes
When Megadeth played metal like jazz.
I LOVE THE LINEUP WITH CHRIS POLAND AND GAR SAMUELSON
Gotta love it
This wasn't just a "thrash metal song", it was an amazing SONG, period. It's a masterpiece across genres, it's like a modern classical piece.
The best Megadeth song in my opinion. It's like their business card showcasing everything they were about. If you want to introduce the band to someone who isn't familiar - go with this song for sure.

At the time this was killer stuff and still is for some of us. The way Dave composed some of these tracks was refreshing against what was out there.
Ah man you got it all wrong, early megadeth is riffsalad. this track for example has 16 riffs. it starts slow and slowly becomes faster and faster. it didn't click for you, try it another time. i was like you at first.

totally agree man
I agree also. Well said?
16 riffs?
@@petarblazevic1954with the intro, yea there may be 16 riffs. I counted the most of them after intro once, there eas about 10 riffs
This tune is a masterpiece 👌
You do realize this came out almost 40 yrs ago ....right ?
This was insane back in 86

Indeed, they were playing Peace tracks before the record came out.
If you think you are a musician and don't understand the beauty in the beginning, just drop it, and do another things
Just scales
@@Pablomesquita96 you can say that about anything
“Emotional Intro”, “I don’t know where this is going”? This guy is a hack.
He is wearing a ac/dc shirt guys!
@@PunishmentsDue yup
I have a hard time believing that anybody involved in metal hasn't heard this tune
There are a lot of people who have heard of Megadeth and know them by only Holy Wars and Symphony of Destructıon. You or I might not like imagining it but young people exist.
@@sanbilgeI’m young, I don’t feel like it but I am, and it sucks when people don’t know these kinda songs by Megadeth😅
I love that it’s a combination of riffs, idk if I’ve heard it so much that it sounds cohesive to me and all the riffs mesh well
Play it genius. With your cute headphones and Wal-Mart AC/DC shirt. Nothing you do will ever touch 1986 Megadeth. EVER. Keep it up kid.
This song actually was written (musically) as an instrumental, it wasnt supposed to have singing, thats why it was a lot more complicated as a song, by having so many riffs. If you listen to the other songs in the album, they are a bit simpler, either verse chorus verse chorus, or either verse verse bridge verse chorus.
Although they do write songs with many many riffs in them in general, thats what they're known for.
The song that comes the closest to this next is Mary Jane, also a lot of progression.
Great musicianship, great song nothing else to be said really
Remember always listen to the originals sir!
Dude I really appreciate the honesty and respect.
I really like the way you view metal.
I'm a huge metal fan and guitarist myself

Thanks
9:20 It took me a while to like this song as well. But it slowly grew on me like a story unfolding.

This guy doesn't know where he stands in the whole grand scheme of things. One thing you can't do is go back to 1986 and listen.
Such amazing song by MEGADETH love it 🤘🤘
Death~ Flattening of Emotions.... would be a great one to check out. Things got more proggy after the Human album which absolutely changed the death metal world already in 1991. Do it! Chuck Schuldiner was a genius.
Megadeth FUCKIN RULES!!!!!!🤬
The lighting in your studio is perfect.
For people saying this was badass back in '86. It's badass NOW too and always will be.
Honestly this is their best song from the 80s. This song, or Set The World Afire.
very honest review, thank you
Fun fact. Just like Slayer - “metal storm/face the slayer”. This too is two separate songs fused into one long track.
sneed saturday
This song comes more to life once you know the lyrics and understand what it's about. 🤟🤟🤟
Best thrash song ever!
It’s riff salad but it’s some damn good salad
One thing missing for him...though he was gonny say corpse paint
Chris Poland is a god.
They have sold alot of records. $$$ Always great guitar work. You sounded pretty badass at the start of the reaction.
Black metal guys only like nonsensical screaming while playing cords
Haha

ive a hard time bel iving someone paid $5k donation for you to react to this lol
I think a song by Megadeth that you will think there should be no more solos is Hangar 18, it has like 11+ solos.
I already heard that one :)
1986 this was some crazy extreme heavy metal
Hard to say if Peace Sells or Rust in Peace is their best album, but this was definitely my favorite line up. Something a little different for you, Hall of the Mountain King by Savatage

Nice playing...
U clueless of greatness
Thanks a lot man!
Quicksand Jesus by SKIDROW .. GREAT TUNE
Vote With A Bullet, by COC Corrosion Of Conformity
Great video!!
Oooooohhh daaaamn, I thought you were left handed 😂😂😂 I guess this is the first time you have text on your shirt lol
I like your solo
yeah I agree, good mourning can drag a bit and while is one of Megadeth's styles the ending is a bit dry, you sounded not bad at all at the end
Theis song is a nine out of 10.
Yeah bro you're cursed with this song...or is it bad omen? No, it's the conjuring. Shit I forgot...
I'm agreed in some way with your comments. The end of the song does not make out justice the brilliant beginning.
Very good improvisation during the shred. I think you might have been out of key on the highest frets solo, but that looked like it was fun.
yeah it is because i do not know music theory at all, so improvising is quite difficult but still a fun exercise. Thanks anyway !
isso em 1986 foi muito revolucionário!!
Love the reaction. Maybe do some Death, idk Flesh and The Power it Holds
Really good video, a channel called cabeza de metal, did the same but with friends
Have you heard of Rivers of Nihil? I tried to think of a band I know that is on the smaller end of listeners, so I wanted to ask if you've heard of them. I first heard of them just shy of 2 months ago and I've enjoyed every song I've listened to of theirs.
Ibfeel like old megadeth songs feel like compularions of riffs as well.
Really like your reactions… Let’s get you some more metal to react too.
Subscribed becauz Megadeth!
another great reaction. for something different and amazing check out The Human Abstract - "Faust" Official Music Video.
You say ‘another solo’ as if that’s a bad thing. Jesus, man you’re a guitar player! Chris Poland was a jazz-trained metal guitarist. Listening to him his fantastic.

24/7 Dave MEGADETH Mustain what's wrong with that
why is everything backwards?
I like Megadeth, why not react to Arcturus - Radical Cut, it's the only song I know off with Ihsahn and Hellhammer working together.
its 2 songs so no long intro first hell you can see title divided into 2 titles /
React to infant annihilator if you haven't already. I'm new here
nah you should listened to original not that remastered version
Wouldn’t have made a difference this dude doesn’t like Dave’s voice
You could give him all of megadeths best hidden gem songs and he still wouldn’t appreciate them probably but to each his own
who do you think you are?
ask your mom
should have listened to original version not remastered shit
didn't expect a video where a *black metal* guitarist reacts to something soft. I always encounter pop fans straight up listening to gorgoroth and skipping the soft stuff first. That being said, I love black metal...
Really different sections. Well, for ya Balckies, it's just one Riff and trash arse growl💀 aka normie

@@galayat-reacts3643 20 WHOLE years? hahaha
Dave Mustain or Marty Friedman ain’t on Dimebag’s level!
Not even close…
