Thanks again Lars and James for kicking Dave out of the band!!! 🙏🏻✌🏼
Amen to that!!
Hell yeah ! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hey, it was Dave's plan all along to prove he was the better Thrash artist than all of Metallica put together.
This album,along with Countdown to extinction beats anything Metallica put out after Justice.
"You just don't walk your way into Megadeth" -Lex
Dave Mustaine would be proud to hear this from you.
All I know is you can walk yourself out of megadeth pretty damn quick 😄
@@scottvance7520 Thats funny!
@@scottvance7520 yes very much Megadeth make you feel like that 😂😂
I think at the time they said something like 'start of the art speed metal', which I think it pretty accurate.
Tell that to Jeff Loomis when he tried that at age 16 ..
Now listen to some Nevermore!
'She Wolf' from Megadeth's live DVD - 'Rude Awakening' is an absolute must for you Lex. There are half a dozen or so reaction videos of this one - I hear Dave Mustaine himself makes sure they don't get blocked.
YES!!
I remember Dave sharing Lost in Vegas reaction to Holy Wars. I am glad Dave gets it.
Yes definitely I’ve been suggesting She Wolf live Rude Awakening because I think Lex will absolutely love it!!!
Yessssssssssssssssss
It’s such an awesome video !!! It’s a song you expect to be on guitar hero with the dueling guitars and incredible drums!!!
Lex: "I don't know how to explain Megadeth."
Brad: "They're a lot." 😆
Musical gymnastics. I dont think I've ever heard Megadeth described so perfectly. Every member of Megadeth is a master of their craft. Only band i know of like that!
While I always noticed the level of the musicianship, it was the effectiveness of the music that impressed me most.
@@uslegions2619 precisely. inspiration trumps potential every time.... that being said, it helps when you can.
You can't rush megadeth, Dave will sing when he sings just rock your head an enjoy the buildup
Yeah the vocals are really second priority with this band. The instruments the riffs come first! Dave knows that he isn't the best vocalist around. He is first and foremost a guitarist. The vocals are just to give a message.
This is the best Megadeth song in my opinion. Been in the metal game since I was 12, going on 26 now. No regrets.
Glad to have you guys with us.
Welcome to the community.
It's in my top 3. Technical as f*ck.
Hard to argue with that 👍 On this album it’s really hard to pick the best song cuz it’s packed with bangers. But most will always go with Holy Wars.
My favorite off this album.
Been in this game since I was 5 and now I'm 30. Damn I'm getting old.
My top 3:
1. Holy Wars
2. Five Magics
3. Peace Sells
The magic was the musicianship - off the charts
500 magics ❤
Lex was on point when she said “you can’t just walk into megadeth” it’s hard to appreciate what is going on and I like the fact that brad keeps it real with us. I think that a good suggestion would be “she wolf” from the rude awakening dvd, on that live version they extended the solos and added nice melodies that are not hard to follow and those are not in the original track. Also the lyrics are nice so it’s a win-win for you both!
Its funny. 1st time i heard megadeth i inmediatey fell in love. Everybody is different.
@@efrensanchez3666 ikr right. I have heard many other thrash metal bands but Megadeth is the most unique sounding therefore the best of all I have heard of... And I realized that after accidentally listening to Holy wars, consequently whole album...
I hate She Wolf.. LOLOL.... What am I missing.. LOLOL
So glad you didn't do a reaction from the remastered version.
Please do lucretia, one of the greatest guitar solos ever
Marty's solo from Lucretia makes Tornado of Souls feel almost easy. It's not even fair.
4:35 really good observation by Lex. It’s why Marty Friedman is one of my favorite guitar players. He finds the right notes to use that other players ignore
I first heard Megadeth when they first released Killing is my Business… in 1985, I was 7 years old. My friend’s older brother would blast it out his bedroom window.
That album doesn't get enough love from people, it's fast as hell
One of the best albums of all time. If you disagree, you're wrong.
The most mathematically amazing metal band ever
Megadeth is the 🐐!!!
Yessss!!!! More Megadeth!!!! This whole album is amazing!! Lucretia is another good one from this album. You should definitely checkout Wake Up Dead from the Peace Sells album!!
Nick the drummer (r.i.p) was really into aliens and ufos, and whilst this album covers aliens it does cover a lot of other themes as well, vic the mascot is on every in this one he just happens to be with aliens. In my darkest hour should be the next stop on the megadeth train
They are a very Talented band no doubt. If they were a meal it would be a 5 course feast.
Give me celery
Give me broccoli
On my spaghetti
Lots of anchovies
Finish with some cheese
Feed it to me please
Every one of these
I master
5 courses
@@RastaganTheGreen nice one maybe not celery though.
Very technical playing most definitely.
Lex was really grooving to that 5/4 part. I’m impressed 🤟
Love watching Lex's appreciation grow, and you are absolutely right, you can't just walk into Megadeth!
There are soooooo many amazing songs to listen to. She-wolf live is great, Good Mourning/Black Friday is a masterpiece but I would love to see you react to Ashes in Your Mouth.
Keep it up Lex! The further down the rabbit hole you go, the more gems you'll find
From this album guys you still have to do Lucretia, Polaris and Take no Prisoners.
However I am eagerly awaiting your reaction to Good mourning / Black Friday from their 'Peace Sells' album....
Polaris rules.
Yes, Polaris and Good Morning/Black Friday. Highly Recommended 🎸
They already covered Good Morning Black Friday I think? If they haven’t then they should. Also The Conjuring from the same album Peace Sells
This whole album, is amazing! Lucretia is FIRE!!! PS Check out Skindred, they are a unique mix of metal and reggae!
They did rat race by them awhile ago
One of my favorite Megadeth songs. It's based on the novel, "Master of the Five Magics" by Lyndon Hardy.
The fuckin time signatures and transitions on this whole album are honestly slept on!
Wooweee love me some Megadeth, huge catalog of great track's. Two amazing track's that are often overlooked are Hook in Mouth and Poison was the Cure.
You two are awesome, blow's my mind the production quality you attained with limited resources.
Skill's, my hat's off to ya!
I dont think Hook in Mouth is really underrated right now. Typically yes but the politics bringing it back like Dave shooting the government a bird and telling us, "I told you so".
Best of the big 4, IMO, amazing live too
Easily the best.
I don't have ten ears, but I have a heart, I have a soul... if you can't feel that outstanding solo from Dave at the end of the song, maybe it's because you're not in this world anymore.
"Advanced Metal". Awesome way to describe it Lex. I like it, and I agree. Everyone in Megadeth (especially this line-up) are absolute top tier musicians. Extremely gifted. There are no sub-par players in this band. The line-up for this album is my favorite line-up to date. Marty Friedman and Nick Menza (R.I.P.) really put their stamp on this.
Great reaction, I really apprecieate your vids! You guys should check out “ In my darkest hour” for the next Megadeth reaction, it’s a really deep song, but Dave’s vocals are incredible and the guitar is awesome too, one of the best metal songs of all time in my opinion 🤘
Agreed!!
"Advanced Metal" .....I love it!!
One of the most remarkable Metal albums of all time. If there was an album hall of fame, this would be in it. Marty Friedmans playing is untouchable. I would like to see you guys do a reaction video live from a Megadeth concert. The energy will have you grinning ear to ear.
I'd hate to take his ass to a symphony orchestra! 2hrs of Bach & he'd be yelling " Where are th words ?? Is somebody gonna sing??!"😂
This whole album is legendary. Get it all in.
Brad: thinks this is a long intro.
Opeth's To bid you farewell: old ma beer
Manowar's Achilles, the Agony and the Ecstasy...thanks for the warmup
This is actually one of my go to Megadeth staples, love this song.
lex is always loving the dave solos specifically.
I think she prefers Dave's straight shredding over Marty/Chris' melodic solos
Advanced metal - I like that. Yes deep lyrics and a lot of sounds all coming together for some good ear candy!
If you want a different side to Megadeth, "A tout le monde" is a great example. Both versions.
You guys just got a new subscriber!!! Loved your content with Five Magics by Megadeth!!! 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽 Keep on Rocking!!!
This is one of Megadeths best songs and it shows just how talented a guitarist that Dave Mustaine really is
Here's some instrumental recommendations:
For The Love Of god - Steve Vai (Live with orchestra version)
Altitudes - Jason Becker
Call Of Kthulu - Metallica
"complex musicianship" thank you for appreciating it! Cuz it really is.
I love you guys you keep it real my favorite reactions on RUclips by far!!
early in the song he says exactly whom he would have dethroned, given such power to
The first channel of react that i subscribe, the harmony between you is amazing
Megadeth was once described by Dave Mustaine as: State-of-the-art Speed Metal Band
4:28. The Best Megadeth description ever. I takes a fan to know one, and Lex is a fan. Nice.
probably the most 'easy listening' song that Megadeth has is Angry Again. has that nice drive.
Guitar work is insane
theme park of different sounds is a beautiful description brad ;)
Dave’s got such a snarl in his voice! It’s like has contempt for the people and things he sings about. Love it!
Believe me!!! Ashes in your mouth it’s and awesome song!!! From the Countdown to extinction album 👍🏻
I couldn't click fast enough today guys. Lexi n Brad you guys are great..keep up the outstanding work and God bless you two
That was a trip at 8:20 when Lex described them as advanced metal. I had a friend back in the early 80's when we were kids that had a denim jacket covered in metal band patches. There was one huge one that took up the top third of the back that said "MEGADETH The most technically advanced metal band on earth". I had not thought of that in years but soon as Lex said it It was like I was looking at the back of his jacket again. They have a lot of amazing tracks and Dave writes some of the most advanced rhythm parts in metal.
I think it was The World's State Of The Art Speed Metal Band or something
The lead guitar player at that time was a dude Marty Friedman. He was a mad man.
Y'all need to check out sweating bullets by them!!
Megadeth was billed as The World's State of the Art Speed Metal Band
Megadeth-Good Mourning/Black Friday
This line up, unbelievably talented.
These lyrics are based on a book named Five Magics by Lyndon Hardy.
Very excited for their new album!
Of the first 4 albums, definitely the cheeriest
Five magics is about a man summoning a dark wizard so he can obtain more power in order to save his true love and the kingdom from the evil prince. The guitar parts are the wizards responses to the man’s requests….which is pretty awesome
FYI this song is about a fantasy novel called "Master of the Five Magics", about a man who goes on a journey to study 5 different magic systems (Thaumaturgy, Alchemy, Magic, Sorcery, and Wizardry) to become an Archmage. Each one works differently and has different rules, with the risk to the protagonist increasing as he goes (Sorcery is mind control magic that uses up a person's own lifespan and Wizardry revolves around demon summoning and domination with the risk of being dragged into hell as a slave to a demon if you screw up or have a weak will). You'll notice Dave changes the 5 magics though because "Thaumaturgy" doesn't have the right amount of syllables and "Magic" just doesn't rhyme.
Megadeth over here, and everybody else over there, ain't no question.
“Musical Gymnastics” is damn right Brad. You nailed it! I love metal, but love prog rock too… think you both would enjoy Genesis “Firth of Fifth” - piano 🎹 intro is jaw dropping. It’s British progressive rock musical gymnastics from the same era as YES - Roundabout. Rock with it! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
Musical gymnastics. Never heard that analogy before but it's spot on B-rad.
The creepy voice over you hear is Metal Vic. The dude on the cover holding the green power crystal in his hand.
This is Mustain's throw back to his dungeons and 🐲 days
Musical gymnastics... I like that!
The whole thing about Megadeth is natural and pure atitude! This song and others are about coruption, gouvernment, lies and people. In one word POWER. Dave just wipes the wail off in his own manner so that everyone can see and understand.
This song is pure art. It's so well crafted. It almost encapsulates fear. It's god level. You can't write this again. It's done. You could die on that outro solo with no regrets. Pure Five Magics.
So good! ❤🎉
Back in my days (whatever that means) Megadeth style was called Techno Thrash. It made sense as their music was/is very technical.
She was impressed she is a fan now
Great reaction! Love Megadeth, they should win more live polls!🤘Anytime you think of putting MEGADETH on a poll just cancel the poll and play MEGADETH. Lex will back me up on this.
I think that there is a bit of unspoken implication that the protagonist (Dave) is seeking power in the service of Good, to "overthrow the Evil Prince", and cleanse that which was tainted, but...it gets a little dark, like...massive power will surely be a massive temptation.
Actually Dave got the idea for this song from a fantasy novel written by Lyndon Hardy back in the 80s. A lot of people like to attribute Dave’s temporary involvement in witch craft and the world of black magic as the idea behind this song but he got it from a fantasy novel similar to those Lord of the Rings and Harry Pot Head books.
@@tonysoto8949 "Master Of Five Magics" is the name of the book. It has a really interesting magic system, for those who are into that sort of thing.
@@zenbastard0 it’s I believe part of a trilogy. And actually Megadeths The Conjuring is based off witchcraft or black magic and Dave got involved in this and actually cast a so called spell on a certain band and individuals. Which up until recently he never played it in concerts. I believe he has since performed it with revised lyrics because the musicianship on that song is FIRE.
@@tonysoto8949 it is a trilogy. "The Secret Of The Sixth Magic" is the second book, and it takes a deep dive into the underlying systems. I don't remember what the third book is called, I might not have read it (small town, pre-internet)
I used to say, whenever i first heard Rust in Peace, that it was like Jimi Hendrix did metal
I feel like a lot of times Brad misses the point of all things metal. Which in turn creates a cynical and often blurred view overshadowed by a strict mind set of limited opinions.
^
Dude doesn’t have the musical palette for metal. Most times when dudes grow up hearing only R&B, hip hop, or pop music metal just sounds like noise to them.
Metal bands are more than just lyrics, it's about the whole band operation. The riffs and arrangement are equally as important as the vocals. Especially Megadeth. Brad focuses on lyrics, which is fine, but after that it's over.
Oh, it's coming 😊🔥
I luv how much Lex enjoys Megadeth!
Brad: I dont know. ..Lex: tell me what do you know?😆
ManOwaR - Spirit Horse Of The Cherokee
Also, from the same album "The Burning"
Thanks more early megadeth cheers from Australia
This is a very professional song, one of my top 5 Megadeth. Maybe the most professional and difficult one.
Lex Is so undeniably turned on by guitar!! At the end if the song I can see her imagining herself playing that guitar solo, while also expressing every note with bodily and facial expressions! Someone give her a guitar and lessons!!! Doesnt matter what song shes listening to - the guitar parts are what she digs most
You need to listen to some of their newer stuff. Early 90's up. Everyone always gears to the older stuff, which is awesome, but they have any other great songs as well. Guarantee Brad will enjoy it more as well.
Megadeth - Good Mourning/Black Friday, Ashes in your mouth.
I love how Lex just closes her eyes and gets lost in the music.
Lex, you're right. Megadeth is advanced metal. Their compositions are so complex and it's just too much for some people.
Bass player Dave ellefson grew up on a farm 60 miles from my home town in Jackson Minnesota has his own brand of coffee ellefson coffee company roast in peace
"Gangsta magic." I spit coffee ... lol
You should check Megadeth - The last words. Their earlier stuff
Mustaine has always had an ear for, in Jazz, they call it "outside". Points where parts of the music feel outside yet belongs.
I love this lp. I would like to go too a show with you two
You need to do good morning/black Friday next😎👌🏼
Great choice
This damn album .... i never ever get tired of any song ... I can play it 24/7
New to the channel.. the lamb of God 11th be reaction reminded me of the first time I heard that.thanks you.
Master Magicks five, and learn that ruling the universe is not the goal, it is being a butterfly!
Megadeth - 99 Ways To Die, it's not one of their most well known songs, but it's one of their best.
