      If they tried to see Knocked Loose at a dingy/run down venue, that would be a different story. But they'd still be fine just standing in the back. Only dinosaurs like me still crowd kill. And we only do it at beatdown shows.

      Some people don't understand negative emotions in music. Their minds just don't work that way. I remember having a friend listen to Mein Teil by Rammstein and I said the "solo" (which is simply keyboard screams) was amazing to me because it sounded like raw pain. He looked at me and said, "and that's good?" Some people do not understand that when a sound can create or portray an unadulterated emotion, it is extraordinarily powerful. Of course, he was a big reggae guy so happy dinka-donka was pretty much his musical repertoire.

    Sometimes, I think that the only reason Brad is going down this metal journey is to see the look of pure bliss on Lex's face... You can really tell when he side-eyes her while she's rocking out & he gets that grin... It's obvious he's suffering thru this for her

    I absolutely love watching Lex react to the music I've listened to all my life- she is such a pure, metal loving chic even if she didn't know it, she does now! Her smile amd her rockin out makes me so happy and appreciate the fact I've had the pleasure of listening and seeing these bands live in my lifetime! BTW Megadeth is touring in 2022 maybe you could see them live ! Rock on guys, ill keep watching 🤘🏻

    Megadeth are one of the "big four" of 90's thrash metal along with Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax (all still touring!). Dave Mustain was originally in Metallica before forming Megadeth. Keep on with the metal reactions, love the ying/yang of your two. If you want something a bit more challenging then dive into Opeth, for more visceral try Gojira, for more melodic try Plini, for more technical try Polyphia or Animals as Leaders, for downright dirty with breakdowns galore try Crystal Lake, for the most diverse vocals try Jinjer or Spiritbox or Tallah, and there are so many classics from Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Yes, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull which is where it all started - in fact there is a metal genre/style for all occasions and all moods.

    • @ugg10video76
      @ugg10video76 3 года назад +2

      @@alricaneshama plini is instrumental jazz/metal fusion, AaL and Polyphia are instrumental Djent, Crystal Lake is Japanese metal/deathcore, Spiritbox are similar to Jinjer with an equally good vocalist, and Tallah, hmmm, well if Korn, Linking Park, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot had a child and they were fed metal core Tallah would be it! Enjoy.

    I mean this in the most loving way possible, in the last section of the song I was cracking up so much, not only remembering my first time hearing holy wars but also only seeing you guys from the torso up and Lex bouncing around like mad, you reminded me of puppets in a show jumping about and going mental.
    Yes he is killing it.
    Just discovered you guys on my day off and it's been well spent going through your ball catalogue.
    Keep up the great work.

    The video to this song makes the song even more mind blowing. Watching Marty Friedman play the classical solo then Dave Mustaine shred your face off at the end of the song. Best Megadeth video ever made. Also this song is considered arguably the greatest Thrash Metal song of all time and it’s what is also arguably the greatest Thrash Metal album of all time. Absolute Masterpiece! Great review. And FYI The first half of the song is called Holy Wars and it is about Northern Ireland’s civil unrest. When the band played this song in Ireland the police had to stop the concert and escort the band out of the stadium because all hell broke loose and some who didn’t like the message wanted to literally kill the band members. The second half The Punishment Due is in reference to the Marvel Comics character named The Punisher who’s family was killed and he becomes a vigilante out to kill them all

    • @RexJava75

      You're almost right. The riot happened before Dave wrote the song, and that was the inspiration for the song.

That our music was just noise. They never took the time to actually listen to what was being said. We were not stupid. We were aware. Much respect to you both. Love your channel.

    R.I.P. Nick Menza.. The best drummer Megadeth ever had! His drumming on this entire album is just so bludgeoning, and tight. No, he’s not Chris Adler. I get it, he not the technician Adler is, without a doubt! But Nick just had an amazing way of staying in the pocket, while filling in the spaces with slick polyrhythmic fills, in odd spots! His playing was thunderous and just complimented the rest of the band so well! Great song, off a legendary and classic album! I highly recommend the song “Tornado of Souls”, off this album. I think Lex will love it! Peace!!!!👊🏼👊🏼

    • @RobertSmith-eu5xq

      Totally agree. He’s the glue on Countdown to Extinction as well. One of my favorite drum albums. His choices and tone are just perfect. Like Ivan deprume on the early white zombie stuff. Nothing flashy, just in the pocket with just enough flair and flourishes to take the music to another level
