This song is 34 years old, and still 100% accurate to what this world is now
it was accurate 3000 years ago too
That's because war and religion will always go hand in hand. Both are senseless.
@@bobobo2224I would disagree and just say that people are dumb
saddd
Is the song timeless or is it that this species can't progress forward?
Rachel: "So many hooks and riffs"
Me: "Um... need to check out Hangar 18 and Return to Hangar. 18 solos combined"
Absolutely! The live versions of these two they combine in That One Night in Buenos Aires is spectacular
Need also to check 5 magics!
This is a METAL classic, I enlisted in the military and went to DESERT STORM and this was our Anthem
Now Tornado of Souls, it has one of the best solos in metal
And right after that Dread and the Fugitive Mind
one of the hardest ones for sure
Overplayed solo.
@@dragonballfanscantread2383overplayed because it’s amazing
I would suggest something but I can't when they act like they have never heard something every RUclips reactor has reacted to. Can't pull the wool over my eyes
This album (Rust in Peace) is a masterpiece, from the 1st to the last song. God bless Nick Menza, forever missed.
In the UK this album and Slayer's Seasons In The Abyss were released on the same day. One of those days I took a half a day off of work and rushed into own to grab them as they were unpacked. Happy times!
fuckin best day ever lol
Lucky!
I was barely 1 years old when those albums came out.
The second half of this song is the part known as ... The Punishment Due.
It's based off of the Marvel Comics character The Punisher
this
Yep!
THIS IS THE ONLY BAND THAT CAN HOLD THE TORCH THAT IRON MAIDEN HELD FOR SO LONG
DAVE MUSTAINE IS A GENIUS SONG WRITER, GUITARIST.
and he's not afraid of taking Risks
@@shadymodnation5781 Tu duts 🥁
Dave's voice has gotten better after his cancer treatment, fuck cancer!!!! I just saw Megadeth yesterday and it was f*king amazing
Because they play in D standard now. One whole tone lower than E standard. Daves older and troubled vocal chords can actually stay in tune and not snap like you can see after his neck surgery in early 2010s
The important thing to note with this song is this is the first track off Megadeth's 4th album Rust In Peace. The previous 3 albums the band, and Dave Mustaine in particular, were on literally EVERYTHING: Alcohol, Weed, LDS, Heroin, Meth, and even Crack Cocaine. They were just obliterated around the clock for years. This was the first time Megadeth made an album completely clean and sober and had a major line up change by swapping out previous members for the amazing Marty Friedman on guitar and the late, great Nick Menza on drums. But the press and some fans were like "Does Megadeth still have it? Or will they be another band who could only make great music while on drugs?"
The first 10 seconds of this song made the statement that not only did they still have it, but they were just warming up and they haven't stopped since.
When Dave Mustaine was the lead guitarist of Metallica in 1982/ '83, he was really not interested in doing lead vocals... But when he was fired and formed Megadeth in late '83, he couldn't find a vocalist in L.A. to match the intensity of his music... so, he just took over on vocals.
Mustaine's style took cues from shock rocker Alice Cooper ( who would later become his godfather) and vocalist Johnny Rotten of UK punk rockers The Sex Pistols... Unlike Metallica, which was a cross between Motorhead and Diamond Head... Megadeth was pristine and technical like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest...
You gotta love Dave's voice. Their instrumentals always rock. And yes, respect the neck, if not it gets a lot worse.
Every mention of MEGADETH being “grungy” kills me a little bit each time.
Grunge can mean many things, not just a style of music. Theres a reason why its called grunge.
@@cycomiles4225 true but megadeth aint one of those things :D although Megadeth did take Alice in Chains on tour with em so not to say dave mustaine has no like for grunge
@@XoiZhiv Megadeth definitely was filthy in the 80s, all the drugs man....as I said, its not just a style of music. Eh, grunge is just another sound of rock, punk/punk rock tbh...don't really understand whats the big deal. If you ask me, Nirvana is a punk band that can actually write about something other than anarchy.
@@cycomiles4225 i think your just confused :D anyway we came here for the music lets leave it at that
I concur. The term nor the music existed yet.
Marty gets a lot of well deserved credit for his solos, but I really appreciate all of Dave's too. Especially the one towards the end of this track!! Incredible
Pretty much all of Megadeth's songs are bangers. I was born in '73 and grew up with this music as my soundtrack. Was not good for speeding tickets but I got by.
First concert I ever went to was Testament and Megadeth opening for Judas Priest three days before my 18th birthday. Megadeth was touring for this album. It was awesome. Got to see them again in 2010 for the 20th anniversary tour of this album where they played it from start to finish. This is the first song on the album, and at the end of the show they did a reprise of the end of this song from Dave's (vocalist) solo through the end of the song. Hearing the whole album live was special too.
best line up ever! Dave, Dave, Marty and Nick...best ever!
Maybe. The original lineup set the bar. Difference is more mature songwriting and way better production
It's about time you react to this epic heavy metal song of all time.
Probably one of the greatest albums ever from start to finish absolutely awesome
YUUUP! Down the rabbit hole featuring the Best Thrash band to ever exist!
The greatest thing to ever happen to Dave Mustaine was being fired from Metallica. He is a badass!
Sadly, he doesn’t see it that way. He released so many classic metal albums that would have never existed. It seems like he would give it all up to have stayed with Metallica.
@@pressman1788 I’ve been glad to see that they’ve buried the hatchet so to speak since those days.
Very applicable to current affairs. Right before Dave gives us the first “Holy Wars” line, he says “Don’t look now to Israel, it might be your homeland.”
That region has been the epicenter for holy wars for far too long. It’s not just between Arabic and Israeli groups, but it goes back and includes much older groups like the Byzantine empire and the Persian Sassanid Empire.
The second half of the song where it changes up is about the punisher from Marvel comics
It definitely a sight to see live with this lineup. Absolutely amazing and you must please do more from my favorite of the Big 4🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
Megadeth is such a unique band, so many tempo changes and riff changes, they really are one of a kind, the lead singer/guitar player was Metallica's OG lead guitarist until a falling out, which honestly ended up giving us two amazing bands so I'm not even mad about it.
This is a great song. Speaks of what is happening today!!!
Anyone this young who reacts to the best Metal band of all time gets an instant follow
Great reaction. My vote for next Megadeth song is My Last Words
One thing to consider when breaking this song down is its a two part song. Part 1 Holy Wars - is about religious conflicts in Northern Ireland and Isreal at the time (1990) and Part 2 ...The Punishment Due - pays homage to the comic book character The Punisher
"Love thy neighbour as yourself" comes from the old testament and here "neighbour" actually means kinsman so the origins of that saying is rooted in something just as tribalistic as holy wars. It meant that those of god's chosen people should not fight amongst themselves. Meanwhile other passages from the same text talks about chasing other people out of the holy land and how to treat slaves taken from them etc
Not to mention God instructing his people to cut babies from their mothers womb, and slaughtering every living creature. Not exactly the "peace and love" doctrine...
I mean, "Creeping Death" highlights some details from the same book.
You kids don't remember the great shirt shortage of 1990. Tough times.
The last 2 minutes are probably the hardest I’ve listened to in OG metal
2 Songs in one really. Dave said that he was inspired to write the song in Northern Ireland, when he discovered bootlegged Megadeth T-shirts were on sale and was dissuaded from taking action to have them removed on the basis that they were part of fundraising activities for "The Cause" (i.e. the Provisional Irish Republican Army). "The Punishment Due" is based on the Marvel comic book character, the Punisher.
You just reacted to the best song ever written
When I first heard Holy Wars 2 years ago I was repeating the punisher section for hours, it hooked me!
Holy Wars was based upon the religious conflicts in Ireland that were happening around that time of the late 80s/early 90s.
The Punishment Due... well it's based upon Marvel Comic's The Punisher.
Not religious conflicts in the slightest I'm Irish from Belfast, grew up during the troubles. Outsiders get confused because it's often referred to as Catholic Vs protestant but most people werent religious. Catholic represents the Irish who were oppressed under British rule and the troubles came about as a result of Irish attempts to gain equal rights and status and be allowed to keep Irish culture and tradition and language. Which we did thankfully through non violence (unlike Hamas) after years of ira ceasfire we signed the good Friday agreement and now today over 50% of the population considers themselves Irish and can be Irish citizens and practice our culture (and religion)
@@WookieWarriorz I appreciate the clarification
@@WookieWarriorz So it WAS Catholic vs Protestant. That is what you just wrote. England (protestant) Irish (Catholic) that's what it comes down too.
Non violence....sure buddy.
@@WookieWarriorz Non violence? Don't make me laugh lol
love your reaction beautiful & cute one of my favorite song too
Young lady you have picked by far one of the best 👌 songs to ever been created megadeth is forever ❤️
the lyrics are what is going on in the world right now... the drummer is crazy
There will never, ever be another metal album like Rust in Peace. Like a jagged cheese grater to the face! 🏄♂️
Absolutely 💯
I don't know how I stumbled this, but this is a really well considered reaction (to what is a truly epic piece of metal)
When Dave wrote the first part holy wars he was thinking about the conflict in Northern Ireland . One concert there he made a remark which was very close to a riot
This is one of my favorite songs from Megadeth the song is killer from start to finish with the tempo and the change mid song the guitar work is amazing Dave Mustaine is one of the fastest guitar soloists of all time love his growl at the end also you definitely could apply this song to what is going on in the world today
The most impressive thing in my opinion is how the hell he can play that and sing at the same time. It's a fairly complex riff, and while I can play it without problem, I could never sing while I'm doing it.
I can play and sing most of the song, the last few lines are hard when he says fill the cracks in. I'm not a good singer but it feels cool to play the riff and sing 😎👍🏻
Ok, let's go:
I had already listened to this song several times and I understand that the theme behind it is a very heavy theme Rachael but honestly there is something you said in the middle of the react video that honestly people really don't respect and I already understood this a long time ago ''love your neighbor as yourself'' is actually a good value to follow but honestly today people have little or no respect for each other's beliefs, but the message of the song is very clear and I really like her riffs and Dave Mustaine's voice is a very good voice and so is the song itself, now talking about recommendations I recommend Laura Braingan - Self Control, it's a good song and I think you'll like it and what's more That's it, continue with the work you're doing and greetings from Brazil to you Rachael! 💚💛💚💛
6:31 - Actually it was about the insurgency of the Irish Republican Army force that sought to end British rule in Northern Ireland, facilitate Irish reunification, which had conflicts between the Catholics and Protestants. By the time the video came out, it was focused on the Operation Desert Storm, hence the Middle East imagery.
The first half of the song is about the never ending middle east conflicts. The second half is about the Punisher comic book. It's basically two different songs mashed together. But it works.
Well said about War
haha, such a funny reaction) you have an amazing facial expression
Bangin!
I was in several of those pits during this song and it was awesome!
War, war never changes...
one of my fav song idk why my classmates bully me because i listen to this song they say im only 12 and i know but its a good song breaking it down and reading the lyrics youlll find out how true and deep this song is
Wars aren’t about religion. Wars are about power and $$!
Two different songs merged into one. The second song starts when he sings "Wage the war on organized crime..." Which is about The Punisher from Marvel comics
Megadeth Forever ❤
Right at the end he actually says cowards no killings
Btw, Dave (lead vocalist) used to be lead guitarist for Metallica
Fantastic ❤
Badass!
this song is a masterpiece
There really should be a warning label "Do not listen if you have neck and shoulder issues. Don't say we didn't warn you!" LOL.
In 1988, while Megadeth was touring Europe they played in Dublin Ireland. They didn't know about the war/conflict with UK and Ireland about religion. Hence, don't look now to Isreal. It might be your homeland. Holy wars happen everywhere
Lead Vocalist, Dave Mustaine is an original member of Metallica
So proud to be able to say I was there for the release of this masterpiece. So much music from those days has stood the test of time. It was a great time to be a teenager...Ticket prices to shows were still affordable and we weren't scared of being shot by some nut job with a chip on their shoulder....Yep...Gen X was the last generation to lay claim to a lot of things...
When I first heard this I was not into this kind of metal. But with more exposure it dug into me and I learned to appreciate the entire Rust in Peace album. Dave Mustaine is an acquired taste for vocals but he can definitely shred! Nice reaction!
Their pants are tighter than America’s food budget 😂😂😂
You must headbang…the metal gods have called for it.
7:17 🤘
Even though Megadeth is LA, we claim them up here in the Bay
🤘🤘
How many people know that Dave Mustain is the original Guitar player for Metallica?
Yes
In my darkest hour Megadeth try next 😊
five magics - megadeth
You have to do Good Mourning...Black Friday, In My Darkest Hour, Tornado of Souls, and A Toute Le Monde. I would be very interested in your reactions.
Exactly 0% of the budget of this video went to shirts.
Tornado of Souls and Hangar 18 .... there's a Tornado of Souls live one that is great "megadeth tornado of souls live" first result
You should do Hangar 18 next, and then Take No Prisoners, then do Five Magics, and Poison Was the Cure after that. You should also do Lucretia after that, and then Tornado of Souls, and Dawn Patrol after that. You could finish with Rust in Peace....Polaris. But it's just a suggestion.
Check out Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
The 2008 live version in San Diego (legandado) is imo even better and i agree with Nicothomas17 100% accurate
maybe you would like "hook in mouth" by Megadeth
PLEASE REACT SEVENDUST:WAFFLE,DENIAL
Dave’s masterpiece 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Megadeth 🤘 👍
May I recommend Addicted to Chaos from Megadeth
Great Megadeth songs to react to.
Trust
Blood of echoes
A secret place
Almost honest
Ashes in your mouth
Symphony of destruction
Countdown to extinction
Peace sells, Black Friday, Conjuring...
Hook in mouth. The lyrics.
you should try halloween-keeper of the 7 keys
Check out 5 magics and Tornado of Souls!
The skydiving part of the video doesn't have anything to do with anything, Dave was just really into that at the time and stuck it in the video.
One of my favorite Megadeth songs! They still rule after all these years! Dave Mustaine was good to leave Metallica
Speaking of respect... Respect the NECK! Do some Cannibal Corpse, Please? 😬
I live my life as JBFK, Just Be F Kind
Great reaction thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉Listen to "" "TORNADO OF SOULS" "" BY MEGADETH... 🎉❤❤❤❤❤
next react "nothing but metal"
Check out Megadeth- In My Darkest Hour and Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
Rachael, you haven't reacted to Haley Reinhart in awhile. I hope you will react to Haley, Slash of Gun's and Rose's, and Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge performing "Wild Horses"by the Rolling Stones. It was at a celebration of Mohammed Ali's 70th birthday.
Written during Operation: Desert Storm
Song was written before the US went into Iraq to retrieve chemical weapons it gave Saddam to use against Iran while blaming it on a fake incubator baby story told by a Kuwait officials niece
12:02 Thrash will do that to ya.
React Jonghyun y si fuera ella performance
