Dave has had an extremely difficult life. As a recovering alcoholic/addict myself, I know this with full conviction deep in my bones. Therefore, I am full of compassion and empathy for him.
For anyone who has never dealt with the sheer horror and misery of addiction, consider yourself blessed beyond belief.
And if you’ve asked yourself lately if you might be floating the line, do what it takes to stop NOW. It WILL be difficult, but nowhere near as terrible as it will be if continued. It leads to only 3 places: death, prison or institutionalization.
God bless, fellow metalheads!
Pinning this because it's an important message.
@@sixstringtv1 Thank you, kind sir. I would like to add that if anyone is in that aforementioned place and feels alone, #1 you are not and #2 reach out to me personally and I will see to it that you get on a plan of action to be healed.
I am passionate about helping others with this retched disease, so please do not hesitate!
@@therifflair724 As an addict in recovery (8 years now 🤘) I think everybody should take heed of this. It's a sliding scale but there's a path to recovery for EVERYONE. It's inspiring to see someone reaching out to literal strangers, just to help. If we all go arm in arm, we can help everyone to stand back up, together.
@@nathenate7974 Yes we can! Way to fight the good fight with earnestness and perseverance! Bless you brother 💙
I'm 50 and going on 7 years of sobriety. This person is not lying. If you even think for a tiny spark of a millisecond, that maybe you shouldn't be doing that next hit, drink, bump, pill, needle, pipe, or whatever the fuck it is you're using, then you stop.
I agree; it will be hard. But when us addicts continue we can't stop.
I HAVE been to jail and I had been to so many rehabs, that I still don't remember.
I finally had enough in 2015 and I can't exactly explain what changed..... for me it was a thing that each time I tried and failed to get clean, I always found that I was learning more about myself. Because the only thing I had that I paid attention to, was my addiction lol.
But we all don't have the luxury to stop and start for 20 to 25 years like I did.
Your next could be your last.
Wow this is the worst review on Megadeth ever, who are you and what have you done ?
My name is Kaylen and most recently I've made a video about why people dislike Megadeth. Who are you?
@@sixstringtv1 Change your title Kaylen you havent wrote "Why do people dislike Megadeth" i purchased their first record and think Dave has done an amazing job considering the abuse from his past physical and emotional etc give it a rest and go and make a album or 15 ;) there was definetly another metal contender needed in the 90s Metallica became to commercial and Megadeth was it.
Megadeth was indeed it in the 80s/early 90s, but very quickly became... not it.
@@sixstringtv1 coming from a guy who has a bunch of strats yeah ok.
@@Fixingthingz4ustrats rule, lame comment
Megadeth right now at this moment is rising from the downfall. Saw them last week live and they were amazing, new album coming and the performance and RUclips channel of Kiko also helps.
Kiko helps. Mustaine doesn't.
@@sixstringtv1 Mustaine came up with most of the riffs.
@@sixstringtv1 aww did Mustaine fuck your girl? Oh i mean guy cause u look like a female 🤣
@@sixstringtv1 I know I'm late to this video but L comment
I was a limo driver in Nashville in 1994/1995. Drove Dave one time. No talk. No tip. Behind sunglasses. Was thinking heroin at the time.
i don't think he was doing heroin at that time, at least he never mentioned it
Posting this one on my IG story, hell of a story
@@FoRRoZ1337 he almost died in 1994 due to heroin. The whole Youthanasia saga was a real low for Mustaines health
bye
Tipping is AIDS and your country needs to do better. Strike for liveable wages instead of accepting capitalist mediocrity.
In my opinion, all of megadeths albums are actually quite unique from each other, yea some similar political lyric themes, but musically the albums are each unique
Not really tho
Six string your wrong
@@sixstringtv1 You're gonna tell me that Youthanasia and Rust in Peace, musically sound the same? Get outta here dude. You're whack lol
@@sixstringtv1 cope and mald and cry even more when democrats take a fat L tomorrow
@@JavierPwns bro chill
Typical youtube content a non-fan crashcourse googling then spewing all over.
Doing research and then talking seems like what any journalist does but you can ofcourse make it sound bad if you phrase it like that
Woah, I gotta disagree with you on So Far So Good So What . Set The World Afire, Liar are better than the Anarchy cover and I really like that cover. Hook in Mouth is an incredible song and one of the best complete thrash songs of all time. I love the part where he turns freedom into an acronym and who else has ever said “manure” in a song ?
Dave is quite modest when you consider he never claims to have invented rap metal or “ new metal “ when he clearly raps in Liar . Lol . Seriously though you should give SFSGSW another chance and listen to the original not remastered version with the bass jacked and reverb all over it. There’s some cool riffs and in my opinion classic thrash songs. I actually probably prefer it over Killing and Peace Sells. I think the two albums should’ve been one keeping the best tracks from each and loosing the lessee tracks. Yeah I’m a big Megadeth fan and I’ll admit it. I also think during their peak the extra songs that were on soundtracks were excellent as well. Angry Again, Go to Hell, 99 Ways to Die come on ? Those songs are better than many other bands whole side of their classic albums. Music isn’t a competition I know and I won’t defend some of their modern albums. I happen to appreciate Dave outspokenness and habit of not sugar coating things. I don’t necessarily agree with everything but now days if you don’t agree with someone you can be labeled as a hater or worse. That is one of our biggest problems in my opinion, learning that you can disagree with someone quite drastically on any issue and that’s ok, respect their opinion as you would want yours to be respected, I have friends that I fundamental disagree with on many issues political ect, but we understand we’re not going to change each other’s mind and are still friends. I’m sorry I just don’t think something someone said or did 25 or 30 years ago should dictate the rest of their life nor dug up to destroy it. I got way off topic there. Back to Dave, he didn’t do himself any favors constantly blaming his other thrash band and measuring his success with their ruler . Dave also asked Dime to join Megadeth before Marty did and I feel confident he would’ve gladly accepted a donut from Dime .
Ahem he he weak on ahem RIP, Dawn Patrol, but it’s a cool bass riff or intro maybe Dawn Patrol isn’t a song.
She Wolf has one of Dave’s best lyrical hooks it’s almost a pop ear worm.
I'm fine with most of the things you said here, other than appreciating Dave's habit of "not sugarcoating things"...
Slurs and racism aren't cool.
@@sixstringtv1 I said I didn’t agree with everything he said my friend, but I don’t mind anyone speaking his mind. I’m not sure if I’ve heard the actually comment about the woman having kids. I will however say that we do have women of all races, in the US that seem to have children to draw more money in government assistance. I understand that people don’t always plan and happy accidents happen but after 3 or four children you gotta know what’s causing it . He may have been addressing a black woman in which case it could’ve been spun or interpreted as racist . Dave’s guitar tech for years a really long time is a black guy named Willie . I don’t think he’s racist but people that learn right are often called racist as a straw man argument . I’ve grown and changed as a person and have held opinions that I no longer hold, I try to be open minded . You can’t graph new ideas on to a closed mind. It’s my goal as a 41 year old man to learn something new every day. I really enjoy your content. I know you were just having a good time. As a guitar player we’re passionate about the music that inspired us. I Sometimes Imagine people who have nothing to be as passionate about and wonder how they get along. I want to make clear that I’m not supporting racism, homophobia, or any type of discrimination or bullying.
@@sixstringtv1 when has Dave ever said anything racist? He called someone a fahhgit and talked shit about welfare babies. He never once mentioned skin colors and never does.
I fully agree. Like actually fully agree with everything you said lol
@@Geetarman69420 I just want to clarify I meant taking the great songs from Peace Sells and SFSGSW and making one legendary album and it would be right up there with RIP and Master Of Puppets. Killing although it’s not my favorite is a perfect thrash debut album and can’t be F’d with.
As for the other topics a wise man who was also a little nuts too used to always say “Don’t laugh at something you don’t understand” I always think about him saying that whenever someone from another country wants to stoke up the “race” problem we have in the states. Someone watches the TV and says ooh they got a big problem with race over there. They dismiss anyone who doesn’t agree with their politics as a bigot.
Cancel culture won’t work on metal because metal has never been mainstream and the community has always accepted everyone. The metal community has been diverse before being diverse was cool, people just don’t know it because it’s always underneath the mainstream and never taken seriously, but it is and will always be there and more accepting and diverse than any demographic of people you want to compare it to. People get online and try and get people riled up about something a celebrity said a quarter century ago and then they mail in their ballots without any research on the guy they’re voting to be ruler of the free world.
Y’all want to cancel someone how about some of these career politicians that you can check their history on issues of race, gender or whatever else. I’m sorry man someone calling out Dave Mustaine or Pantera for being racist while hanging on every word Corn Pop says. Race will continue to be a problem in the US as long as the citizens allow ourselves to be divided by it . Anyone from the outside looking in should bite their tongue until they’ve studied the history of the Democratic Party and their part in race relations. The republicans aren’t much better either but guess what the republicans were in favor of civil rights and the democrats weren’t. The democrats care about minorities every couple years they roll through and farm votes. Republicans do the same thing to white conservatives. We need a real third option.
Bro, set the world afire absolutely slaps
Hard disagree but that's fine
@@sixstringtv1 really? No hate but I really like that track. It’s not better than anything that was released at the time but I enjoy it
@@sixstringtv1 Their second best album what you mean lol
Set the world afire is my favorite megadeth track
At one point in time my aunt saw Dave Mustaine after a concert and she wanted a picture with him he refused and only took pictures with men and literally took a picture with her male friend instead a few years later they meet again and I’m guessin this is when Dave got his shit together my aunt got a picture with everyone else and when Dave asked why she didn’t want one with him he said because he was a dick about it the first time and Dave apologized and said he was on drugs and what not.
Oh god 🤣
I really liked "The System has Failed". There are a lot of catchy tunes on there, and having some Chris Poland was a big plus
Scorpion is one of my all time favorite Megadeth songs.
It is a great album
I don't think Megadeth is falling, in fact I think it's still rising. I've recently seen their fanbase highly increase lately. Their channel even gained a bunch of subscribers. I think the new generation is starting to get into metal, so I believe they'll rise in popularity soon enough. Plus, the newer generations include my own, and as someone who recently got into metal 4-5 years ago, I can say that its true--that newer generations still like metal.
I do hope new generations like metal, and bands like Hammerhedd have me convinced it's in good hands for the foreseeable future, but I hope bands better than Megadeth get that recognition.
Yes, the Sick, the Dying, and the Dead charted. Also LoMenzo is back with the band. Anyway, I hate people like the person running this channel. They are not good RUclipsrs because they don't have original material so they have to resort to slander.
This video was worse than anything on Risk. Dude just dumping on great albums and songs in a pathetic attempt to gain notoriety and subscribers.
Thanks for watching 😗
@@sixstringtv1 Never again
The Mustaine Gibson V the Glen Fricker got had Dave's silhouette on the back of the headstock, which shows him clearly playing a Jackson Flying V.
This is a garbage take
Your mom
@@sixstringtv1 That reply shows your real intent behind this awful take.
Discovered your channel by the malmsteen video, as both a megadeth and malmsteen's music fan i enjoyed your perspective on these topics, but i disagree with at least 80% of your video, you made very few points of why this was the actual downfall of megadeth and it's funny that you mention their new track as a rip off of themselves, what they've been praised on for years. being consistant with their music, even in the comments of the same video. sure they did some questionable stuff but each one was unique if you give the time to appreciate these albums, clearly you didn't, it seemed like you didn't even wanted to be there in the whole video, and i'm not saying this to attack you in any way, but compared to the malmsteen video, this is just a clickbaity lazy effort to "prove" a few points that didn't needed to be proved at all
and not that important, but i was really expecting you mentioned diana, since she inspired many tracks to this day, and maybe why some of the band members were actually out, amongst other things, i feel like you didn't even do your proper research before trying to make this video, this is day and night compared to the malmsteen video
sorry, unsub
Bye
wonderfully said dude
@@sixstringtv1 where is the malmsteen video mate, i can not find it
Found it, know the whole story now, and flabbergasted by this childish behavior of malmsteen & co.
Dave Mustaine is still out touring and Killing it try going through all the shit he went through and see how it works out for ya Bro,Dave Mustaine and Megadeaths music will stand the test of time.
The fact that you don't know how to capitalize or spell "Megadeth" aside, He's doing anything but killing it these days, he should do what Slayer did and retire.
Your words of truth are falling deaf ears my friend … This genius here with a RUclips channel knows very little about Dave or Megadeth… or Thrash metal at all ..clearly he has done Fark all Research … Someone should let this “Wayne’s World” try-hard know .. that owning a few guitars and having a shitty you tube channel does not make you expert .. whinging.. whining about a very successful musician and band … makes him look like a very sad .. sore loser
@@sixstringtv1 the hubris from you is intense
MegadeAth. Right there you lost us.
@@sixstringtv1 Artists don't retire, they die.
Saying that all of their songs have the same theme...shows me how little of thier catalog you have fully experienced.
The sixstringtv looney liberal channel. Nice!
🤔🤔
Did you expect anything else after that mask comment?
Lil Miss I’m Actually Supporting The System should be your username
It's odd that you say their lyrics are about anti religion and politics and that's pretty much it. While that is a strong amount, there's a whole other side. Trust. Tout lemond, She wolf. Ashes in your mouth. In my darkest hour. I could go on and on with songs not related to religion or politics. Washington is Next has literally played out in front of our eyes. They do attack the family and the church and do keep the public undisciplined. It's 100% spot on. So not really singing about conspiracies.
And songs that sound alike. Gee 16th notes and metal?
Adler was a fill in. He was never a regular member. Come on dude.
You're 100% right that 13 and Super Collider were boring. I've tried. Both lack substance. So I'll give you that. It happens. 40 years? A few stinkers, with Risk being thrown in.
You are however, so wrong on United Abominations. That and Endgame. Head crusher and This day we fight? How much more metal can you get?
Adler is listed as a member on their website, I used information Megadeth provided me with
@@sixstringtv1 I get that, but if you know the story, you know he was always temp. He's just an incredible talent and did great work on that record and did a few shows. He wasn't fired or left. He just stopped once they hired their full time drummer in Dirk. You're making your video based on what you read and hear, and not being an active fan. Not ripping you, but you don't have the historical perspective.
Dave mustaine talking about being kicked from Metallica reminds me of uncle rico talking about being kicked from his football team.
This woke review of Megadeth is laughable.
Awww someone offended?
@@sixstringtv1 no, it’s like your opinion and highly subjective. Just letting you know how I see it.
Love Megadeth and Mustaine is an amazing guitarist. I think the current line up and the last album was great and looking forward to the new album.
Pay attention, maybe you'll hear the Audiojungle watermark
@@sixstringtv1 don't give up your day job.
@@sixstringtv1 Just a word of advice for whatever it's worth, commenting primarily to argue with your "fan base" or people who consume your content when you have 18.6k subscribers is questionable at best, better off to not respond and move on, especially considering you fail to offer any sort of intellectual rebuttal other than " yea bro your wrong" I wish you luck in this industry because with an attitude like yours you will need it. You are also essentially competing in a realm of YT where you are literally remaking videos that have already been made by countless other RUclips channels which is likely why their view counts are as low as they are, hot take but try to cover stuff that many many other music channels haven't covered already. Trust me when I say nobody cares what the cheapest guitar on EBAY is.
Only soyboy redditors say yikes unironically, go outside
Only complete idiots say "soyboy" unironically, leave.
@@sixstringtv1 what’s the matter buddy, did that insult hit a little too close to home?
You just liked your own comment bro 💀
So far, so good... so what! is still one of my favorite albums from Megadeth. It likely has a lot to do with the fact I was 13 when the album came out. Personally, I love the congested, suffocating & bass-heavy production. Much better than Metallica, Slayer or Anthrax's sounds in 1988.
For me, almost all of their albums are great even Risk is good, the best are Peace Sells, Rust in Peace, Countdown to Extinction, Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings for me, after 00 albums are much better then Metallica, Slayer, Testament, Anthrax...
@@mariozd971 Testament shits all over the Big 4.
@@vorpalblades I don't like Anthrax, but i don't care for etiquettes, Megadeth, Metallica's 4 albums, Kreator and Sodom until 90s, Testament the same, Dissection , Necrophobic, Entombed, Unanimated, Grand Belial's Key, Shining, Marduk, Mgla from black/death genre , Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Diamond Head are the best metal bands
I wouldn't say they were better than metallica were in 1988, in my opinion 1988 and 1989 was metallica's peak
AHAHHAH, I like the album but it just doesn't compete. AJFA, South of Heaven, and State of Eurphoria all Fuck that album and it's not even close.
WHAT!?? Endgame is easily MD’s best album since the 90s!
Maybe if he could come up with a riff as good as any of Dave's I would listen
Still crap
Second this.
If you’re in a band for this long there has to be lineup changes and it is obvious every musician are not the same. How ever the lineup changes has resulted in different tones , styles and compositions. I don’t think that Megadeth are falling apart they are still touring and writing. There are rarely people doing metal music this long.
Most people shouldn't be "doing metal music" this long
@@sixstringtv1 Except Megadeth is still going strong.
@@garys4211
But it's not a band, it's Dave Mustaine and whoever has the talent, professional attitude and can deal with Mustaine's shit.
@@pauln6803 Regardless of how you view it, the Megadeth "brand" is still going strong.
You don’t need to have lineup changes for a change in sounds. Look at Rush and The Beatles. They each had only one lineup change very early in their careers but released most albums with the same lineup. Over the years they would sound different because they kept either looking for new influences or experimented with different instruments, equipment, or recording techniques.
Ehh Washington Is Next is more about King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream from The Book of Daniel. Also gotta disagree with Megadeth being anti religious when they have several biblically inspired songs and one of them being how Dave feels about Jesus, Never Walk Alone.
I stopped watching once you said Hook In Mouth wasn't a good song
I’m glad you see KIMB in such good light, its my favourite of their albums bar none, I just love the sound of it and the raw angry energy of it all. And those guitar solos are ridiculous
The solos are funny as fuck but great at the same time, one of my favorite thrash albums of all time, which is why I'm sad that they fell of like that 😭😭
I don’t know if it’s the level of gain or what but the solos are indeed a little funny
KIMB has his most interesting riff work imo.
Agreed. And it has the vibe of an album that was recorded with no metronome, just dudes having s good time, all perfectly in tune with onr another
@@sixstringtv1 What I've noticed with Megadeth and the fans who buy into anything Dave does seem to be of the thinking "If it's fast and heavy then it'll work." That is not what I want to hear from a guy that wrote songs like Last Rites, Wake Up Dead, This Was My Life etc..those songs have personality and individuality. Each one is a personalized story. This current stuff he's been doing sounds like one long Terminator/Political/Sc-Fi War soundtrack where all the songs bleed into each other. Dave lost the plot somewhere. I love those first 5 Megadeth records.
So glad you mentioned KIMB as being that good, but I am personally appalled at your reaction to So Far So good, it’s my favorite album and every song is a 10/10 😂
I grew up listening to Megadeth so they hold a special place in the dark deep depths of my blackened heart.
1:07 You forgot Diana.
Some of the best songs like, Wake Up Dead, Last Writes/Loved To Death, In My Darkest Hour and Tornado Of Souls are about her.
Sorry, "I hate religion, politics, and Diana"
@@sixstringtv1 Thanks dude.
You just made my day better
This guy has no clue hes a boomer.
@@sixstringtv1 I hate them as well but we have to pay attention and stay tuned never know what could go down.
Kind of like thieves I don't like them but I always have to pay attention and stay aware that they don't steal anything of mine.
Wouldn't it be nice if this 2 things weren't part of life but we have to learn to live with them.
@@sixstringtv1 bro you know hes christian right
I think this is a really bad way to listen to a band's discography. I used to be a big Megadeth fan, not as much anymore, but many of the albums I would never have listened to at the same time as one another, so listening to them back to back just guarantees you won't be in the right headspace for most of the albums. For example, I also think St. Anger is an underappreciated album, but it's not something I would just listen to casually, I need to be in the right space mentally and emotionally to enjoy it. Otherwise, it's shit.
I'm unsure if Dave Mustaine is entirely in charge of his own mind/in touch with reality these days(however you want to phrase it). There's an interview I read where he was talking about Kiko and he said "Yeah so Kiko was just playing like bars and clubs before he joined Megadeth" which is untrue as Kiko was in Angra until 2015.
And because Dave Mustaine is born again Christian… I dub Megadeth as Christian rock band. It’s not to show hate towards the band, I actually like their music… not focusing on their lyrics. I listen the sound of the instruments🤘🏻
You raise some good points but I still adore Megadeth. Bar non my favorite band and Marty is the reason I picked up guitar.
Marty is many people's guitar hero, and I assume his writing saved a few Megadeth albums from mediocrity.
@@sixstringtv1 yeah, and he still rules to this day. He was such an influence on me that to this day all my guitars are Carvin or Jackson.
Oof, no mention of Trust? The semi-saving grace of late 90s Megadeath. At least we can all agree Mustaine had the most glorious mane of all. *waiting for the Claudio hair is godtier replies lol
Mistaine's hair was glorious but ginger men are 😵💫

The downfall? Sorry but your absolutely nuts. They have had 2 bad records everything else is top notch quality! Have u heard the new songs? yeah you must be a Metallica fan boy
I hate Metallica even more. And it's you're*
Seen them live a few months back and all I could think was that it might be about time that they retire. Was almost embarrassed for them having to go on after Lamb of God that night with how tight LoG played vs how sloppy they played. I think the highlight of Megadeth's set was just waiting to see what insane political conspiracies Dave would rant about between songs.
Lamb of god sounded terrible when I saw them live in Irvine last year. Megadeth sounded way better. I also think lamb of god sucks though.
Lamb of god is trash emo music. They act tough, but belong next to fall out boy
I saw Megadeth one week ago (Portugal) and it was very well performed
I'm a big Megadeth fan, like I love the vast majority of their work. So I tend to disagree with a lot of the musical criticism you have. I really love their riff work, and depending on who else was in the band it's been absolutely amazing.
With that said, Dave Mustaine is his own worst enemy. Whereas I think your criticism of their lyrical breadth is a little overblown, especially over time I can't argue that the political discourse has gotten really lazy. Mustaine's voice is the weakest part of Megadeth and, while it was iconic in the early years, it's suffered horrifically over the last decade or so because he just sang in too high of a register to keep it up.
But, mostly, I think it's just the impression, even from fans, that Dave Mustaine isn't someone you'd want to spend five minutes alone in a room with. He's got that air of insufferability. Even as a musical fan, I'd pay extra to NOT meet him.
Honestly, though, I love listening to Megadeth's music. I am, however, a bass player, so maybe that matters. I did love The System Has Failed.... though, especially Kick The Chair.
I like your channel, but I’m kinda put off by this video. Outside of the obvious missteps, a lot of us Megadeth fans never really complain about them like maybe an Yngwie fan would.
Because this dude is just super young and whiney and needs to grow his YT. Why not just throw some random slander and call everyone a racist? Makes sense. It sells these days.
Slander? 😭😭
@@dethpig420 I don’t find him whiny or looking for controversy, I just think he doesn’t get it when it comes to Megadeth.
@@sixstringtv1 I wouldn’t pay attention to that, dude. You’re doing great so far, and I really like your channel. We just feel different about the band. No hate here.
@@sixstringtv1 it is slander. When has Dave actually been racist that you can cite?
What band changes significantly in 40 years? How many bands last 40 years? How many bands should be around for 40 years.
You know there was this trio from Canada that was playing between 1973 and 2015 and would change their sound quite a bit throughout the years. What was their name again? Oh yeah, Rush!
virgin 15 min video moaning vs chad i hate politicians 19 guitar solos
Woops Dave yelled at the Judas Priest sound guy on stage, I win
I thought 2009's endgame was great. Bass player James Lomenzo did great work in that album.
Endgame is the best behind Rust in peace to me, so under appreciated :(
I really think you’re off base in regards to their music. Yeah, Dave can be a dick (He wasn’t to me when I met him) and yeah, it’s hard to live up to Rust in Peace but except for maybe 2 albums, he’s always put out good stuff.
Dave becoming an InfoWarrior aside, I think Megadeth have hit a period a lot of long running bands end up in. They just simply have run out of ideas. Even if they can do decent music they're probably not going to do anything to the level as their great. They're like the Rolling Stones past the 70s. Not necessarily bad just unessential. Dave's near constant pissy ass attitude just makes it hard for me to really care.
Being the biggest megadeth fan ever some of these people commenting and even the video are definitely going to piss me off but I do agree that after the 90s… the quality and my interest goes down. Stay in 80s and 90s megadeth and you’re solid. Notice too how people hate on this band when it is the second most popular metal band of all time and (maybe I’m wrong) but I to this day have not seen any band try to replicate their tone amongst the sea of metallica, slayer, and modern trash metal clones. Show real people megadeth (even chicks, I’m in my 20s and go to college in southern GA so use those type of girls for reference) and they will start banging they’re head and fucking with it. NEVER let any type of RUclipsr, poser, or modern metal junkie mold your opinion on your taste. I let this happen to me and I hated metallica for awhile cause I dick rode mustaine too hard… so not cool. BUT in conclusion this is my opinion and I only say this cause megadeth pushed me through so much shitty times I can’t even count in this fucked world. I love this band so goddamn much it pushed me to pick up guitar in an age where most of my friends made fun of me for it and only listened to atlanta trap music.
Everyone has their fav band and although I vehemently disagree with this dude I respect the opinion. Not everyone likes the same stuff!
Good day folks!
Good day Nick!
Six Feet Under is just Death Metal megadeth. After watching both your videos on them, this is pretty obvious
It's easy to criticize but you can't even make one good album compared to Megadeth
And therefore I dont. Megadeth can't make a good album compared to Megadeth anymore either.
Just goes to show you how much personal taste factors in to these things. I think “Warheads on Foreheads” is a pretty good name for a thrash metal compilation. With more and more metal adopting abstract lyrics or lyrics that are “humorous” I think Megadeth lyrics feel fresh again. Respect your opinions and channel though.
Let's hope Dave Mustaine is not the second coming of Yngwie Malmsteen :D
He better not be cause I'm not taking that in stride again
Metal bands do tend to make the same album over and over again
while I do agree that mustaine has a bit of an ego(much like malmsteen) he has certainly become more humble over the past few years
You have NO IDEA what you're talking about.
i would recommend you to relisten the SFSGSW album, in my darkest hour one of the best MD songs for me, mary jane, pretty much every song on this album is good. Really dug this drug atmosphere, especially you can hear it in hook in mouth
I'd much rather not, I've got Megadeth PTSD
@@sixstringtv1 yeah, i understand you i have similar thing with slayer
Seriously? Worst bate video using Megadeth to get us to click dude.
It's also worth noting that the remasters for a lot of their albums sound like absolute shit. They cleaned up the older albums WAAY too much. I much prefer the original KIMB and SFSGSW as well as Youthanasia (The drums sound so much better in the original mix). For the longest time I felt something was off with those albums and the second I heard the original CD my jaw dropped and now I really enjoy those albums. I've especially grown a new appreciation for SFSGSW.
At least they didn't went the Metallica path tbh, Metallica now basically became kiss and collab with yousician is just stupid. But Megadeth is getting better I think?
I don't mind the Yousician collab, I support anything that gets people into guitar to keep the instrument from going extinct
You know maybe 4 listening sessions would have been a better idea than 2. Sounds like you fried your brain by listening to too much Megadeth and were numbed by the experience, numbed to the point were it effected your judgment. Most glaring would be your takes of 1988's "So Far So Good...So What" and of 2006's "United Abominations" which were lazy and inaccurate at best. I vote United Abominations as their most under-rated epic.
Not that you were wrong on every point, but still I award you no Kvlt-Points for your Megadeth summation vid, primarily due to: excessive criticism
Plus I found your tone to be both "hurtful" and "mean". 😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣
PS - What's your opinion of Hell's Headbangers Records?
not often does a video I disagree with engage me so well, for that my man, you get a sub
And you get my respect for not being a whiny bitch like everyone else who disagreed with this video 😂
You don't understand how high school was in the'70s and '80s and the early 90s and how people talked, fagget fag homo the n word came out as much as the word fuck, metal was a hard ass white thing and grandparents kept saying all the n words were taken over and there was a lot of prejudice. I would like to think us '90s kids put an end to most of that by interracial dating and stuff and cleaning up our mouths and generally not being an asshole to people. It's pretty bad today but the 1980s were the Pinnacle of self-centeredness.
What happened to megadeth: "nothing, they are good"
Bro are you serious S.F.S.G.S.W is a masterpiece ! There isn't a bad song on it ! It is their most aggressive album to date ! Hook In Mouth is one of their best songs !
You're trolling right?
I really think 🤔 he's more a Metallica fan cause he was wrong about a few things but he is entitled to his own opinion 🤷 I been a MEGAFAN since Peace sells and I like every album and your right about s.f.s.g.s.w. it's a great 👍 album and one of there most sold for a while, anyway I'm a big fan 😉 MEGADAVE RULZ 🐐 MEGADETH RULZ ☠️ MEGAFAN 4LIFE ☠️ 🙊 🙉 🙈 🤘
Absolutely agree. Other than Youthanasia, SFSGSW is definitely one of the greatest albums Dave wrote (with a good handful of those songs being dated back to the beginning of Megadeth, performed at live shows before recorded). Into the Lungs of Hell is still one of the hardest, purest forms of thrash introductions. Jeff Young’s solos and Mustaine’s solos? Absolutely golden. My favorite thrash album by them before departing into Heavy metal.
Liar rules.

I thought they where doing aight
Nah
Metallica Anthrax, Slayer and..........
Pantera dude.
I always hated megadeth. Mustaine is boring vocally. I like one or two hits, that's about all.
I like a little bit of Megadeth, I believe I bought a cassette tape in 1984 when I was in the Navy. Not sure if its their first album. Anyway, right now Dave and Kiko are hitting it off really well. I think Kiko is a great guitar player and person. Need to really put out an album together that will be a smash. They are Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame material now.
If anyone tells you can't form a successful band out of spite, point to Megadeth
Oh noooooooo he said the F-slur™!!111!!oneone!!1 Kwik, call the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance!!!!
Oh shut up
Vortex is probably the one song i like in Cryptic Writings that makes it actually good. Other than that i really like the So Far So Good album, it's one of my favourites, idl why.
Idk why either 😭😂😂
'Disintergrators' and 'FFF' were banging live songs, as well.
@@LeoHoxtonI “Have cool, Will travel” is one of my personal favorites
That's my least liked one. Can't listen to second of it. Those are literally the worst vocals in metal
Nah, totally disagree. Clickbait
Kiko is awesome tho
No argument there
Hatsune Miku?
I cant tell if that was a big jump or not
Dirk is their best drummer since Gar.
You raise good points but I can’t help but think some of Dave’s remarks hit you in your feelings and it happened to seep out in the form of criticisms with no backing other than “it’s my opinion”
What remarks? I'm neither gay nor an African woman, neither his thinly veiled racism nor the word "faggot" affect me personally and I don't like that you think so little of me
@@sixstringtv1 when has he talked shit on African women? Have you heard him say the N word or out right blame the black community in America for anything? You do not cite this at all in the video other than calling him a racist. Pretty shitty man.
@@sixstringtv1 dudewho cares what he thinks !!!
I'm convinced dave saw nft's and thought "oh, this is like, digital trading cards."
I really wish they would play more songs like my last words, poison is the cure and good mourning/black friday. IMO i think peace sells is better than the debut but the debut has some kickass riffs. Ill be honest i only listen to rust in peace, peace sells, and KIMB. Which i think are the best 3. All those songs with exception to like a handful are different from the next and Chris, Marty, Nick and Gar were the best to happen to Megadeth but Dave being Dave needs to fire people.
I love Peace Sells and Rust in Peace. And I like Killing is my Business. And hate everything else.
I respect opinions. You're about 80% on point, great video, but there are some things you said that blew my mind bro. Endgame had some of Brodericks nuttiest solos, Dystopia is masterpiece, Abominations is not garbage in my opinion. I'm saying this with all respect, but you're still young and I think you might change your view of them in about 10-15 years. Anyways, saying hello from Texas!
i enjoy their early stuff, they werent all political either, 502, devils island, my last words, wake up dead, the list goes on, i do like so far so good so what, when you can get past the horrible production, i love into the lungs of hell, i love the intro to set the world afire, i think mary jane is one of my favourite metal songs, theres plenty to like, rust in peace is of course amazing but i also love peace sells, however thats where it ends for me, when i heard symphony of destruction, that song really rubbed me up the wrong way, i think its because how poppy it sounds, although the lyrics are pretty profound especially now.
My top 5 Megadeth albums:
1. Endgame. Their masterpiece. I love every song and the production is killer.
2. Peace Sells
3. Rust
4. United Abominations
5. Dystopia
I like Megadeth in theory, yes the early albums were good and have a legacy, but the last album I thought was original was the system has failed. Sure it has all the classic tropes but it's good, the drumming was amazing on that album too.
Megadeth has released some of the best modern thrash albums, along with Exodus, so I gotta disagree on a lot of the points about their work going downhill. So much good modern Megadeth out there, for sure. Supercollider is trash no question. Totally agree on his member turnover for sure, Mustaine is a giant dick.
The System has Failed is so killer, hard disagree, are you high?
I think Megadeth will get even Higher....because People recognize the Old Bands more and more and Megadeth is here since the 80ties and a Iconic Band. The New Album creates alot of Hype over the Borders of the Trash Scene.
There is also an Thing going on...were People dont necessarly like the Music but Respect the Iconic Brand.
+ mEgadeth touched many Subjects in their Lyrics younger Generations Resonate with .
Political they will earn even more Recognition as One of the Bands that Touched certain Topics early and at all.
Countdown to Extinction f.e. Dawn Patrol etc etc.
I recently got into Megadeth after listening to rust in peace for the first time. I wasn't expecting it to like it at all considering how picky I am with metal but it was a banger from start to finish. Dave should get all the credit for writing some amazing riffs and songs. For me though, Nick Menza and Marty Friedman stole the show. I've never been fascinated by a player's note choices and general playing since I got into EVH and Randy Rhodes. I've even heard some of the stuff Marty is doing in Japan and he still has the chops and sounds just as incredible.
I knew Dave is known to be a bitter man but holy shit this is on another level.
Friedman is incredible, and his Tokyo Jukebox albums are sick too!
@@sixstringtv1 dude that cover of gurenge is 🔥
Also since you're a strat player, I think you should check out the sire s7. I've heard some great stuff about and I'm in the market for buying another strat. I was looking at charvel but the s7 looks legit. It'd be great to see your perspective on it.
Hearing "S7" made me think it'd be a 7 string Strat and got me all excited, I might still try it out though!
@@sixstringtv1 it's a 6 string unfortunately. Sire does this with all of their models. The LP style guitar is called L7 lol.
Megadeth isn't "Garbage" that's B.S. dude
Did I say Megadeth was garbage?
@@sixstringtv1 Either that or I miss heard you
Megadeth are stronger than ever.
WTF are you talking about?
In fact, they're absolutely EMBARRASSING Metallica right now. At age 60 Mustaine is crushing it.
Ehh
Totally bias 👎
Rust in Peace is a great album. I remember when it came out in '90 and all my shredder friends tried in vain to play Marty's parts. I like every album through Youthanasia. I agree with you regarding my least favorite of this era which has to be So Far, So Good, So What, which is just very blah. I can hardly think of Megadeth as a band but rather as MegaDave, as he's always been running the show. It's his project as much as Whitesnake is the project of another Dave. Yes, Megadeth songwriter leaves something to be desired. There is a general sameness to it. What may have sounded awesome when I was fourteen doesn't sound so cool by the time you graduate high school. I found that Maiden always found new subjects for their material and Steve Harris and Co. still writer excellent material. I can't say the same for Megadeth.
MegaDave 😂😂
Megadeth fans scare me. They talk about the band as if Dave could do no wrong, then you listen to a song and it sounds like he’s dying whilst record vocals. They also tend to put down other bands when they try to praise their fav.
Yeah Dave’s voice is an acquired taste I guess. I actually enjoy his vocals on RIP, Countdown to Extinction, and Youthanasia and think he’s probably influenced more extreme genres of metals vocal styles than anyone will admit.
After 13 hours, plus however many hours I spent listening to Megadeth privately in the past years, I still haven't really acquired that taste
@@brandonjackson5865 I mean if there's a track as incredible as Tornado of souls in the back, it works. It's not that abrasive in the first few records tbh.
so every bands fanbois then. cuz that what they all do
@@sixstringtv1 that’s incredible dedication to making this video. In fact you’ve probably heard more post Youthanasia deth than me at this point. I’m an old guy Youthanasia is still new Megadeth to me and the Black album is still new Metallica lol .I love Megadeth, but even I wouldn’t try and listen to them for 13 hours straight.
Look, as a Metallica fan I like making fun of the Megadeth fans who can’t get over the fact that Metallica used Mustaine’s riffs. But at the end of the day, Metallica and Mustaine get along just fine today. The only people who really only argue about it anymore are the fans. I’m someone who doesn’t know much about Megadeth, I’ve listened to a few of their tracks, not my cup of coffee. But Mustaine is a whole grunt, a literal trooper for going through all that medical hell.
Dave Mustaine is unable to write good songs. He kicks out killer riffs but without the ability to link them in any meaningful way. The best part about Megadeth was always Marty Friedman.
4:00 Respect to Mustaine for being able to keep a band going for 40 years and provide a good wage for so many musicians, all of whom were more successful after Megadeth than before. Megadeth was never going to be a band of muskateers, Mustaine did a good job and even if they didn't grow and evolve with every album , they never became a tribute act to their former years like almost every band. and i'm not even a Megadeth fan!
Shit take, first of all you really have no idea what Megadeth is
First of all So Far So Good is damn great while I agree the Sex Pistol cover is just the worse.
Youthanasia is a masterpiece fight me.
World needs a hero is okay, Dread and the fugitive mind and Return to hanger alone makes up for the rest which is not bad it’s actually different from most Megadeth since variation was one of your initial complaints, not bad.
United abomination is something I didn’t like at first but has some great tracks
And hidden treasures is great the covers are damn solid. In fact I prefer Megadeth paranoid to Black Sabbath (again fight me)
And… wow System has failed has some of the greatest songs on it like kick the chair, Black Mail the Universe. Though admittedly some songs are just filler and could care less about them
The rest of those albums I don’t care for, or the bands drama (while fun to look into, who cares)
And if mustaine offends you and challenges your views, grow a pair. Not everyone has to agree with your world view.
And let me tell you Dave’s Vocals (prime) were a damn good fit for Megadeth and has some techniques and characters that are hard to replicate, let’s just call it unique. Anyway who listens to Megadeth and say oh I listen to them for the vocal performance. The whole point was the attitude behind the vocals. Let’s call it “feel” that’s why they worked.
Megadeth is not supposed to be listened to like the way you did anyway, that’s your fault. The band grew on me. the first time I heard Megadeth (first one I heard was Killing is my business) i didn’t like it at first. (Probably cause at that time as a teen I was listening to only death metal and thought and expected Megadeth to be a Death Metal band cause of the name)
*deep breath*
I used to be a big fan of Megadeth, like, you know, listening to them hours a day was a routine. But I will be honest, after Youthanasia till Dystopia (for me) shit went downhill.
Dave's ego became bigger, music became repetitive, lyrics about government fucking sucks blah-blah-blah etc. I still love their albums till Youthanasia, but there some things you just can't deny.
And there goes fucking Slayer... I will say some death-sentence things, but god they are bland, especially from the Divine Intervention album. When I heard God Hates Us All, I was truely shocked - IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME. And that was it. Reign in Blood, Seasons in The Abyss, God Hates Us All - I dig these albums, but the rest is boring to me. But then again, I definetely respect Slayer for rocking it out for 40 damn years, they are undoubtedly legends.
I've watched your videos for quite some time now, your channel is like a breath of fresh air, cheers!
P.S. how come you don't like Metallica? no hate, just curious why:)
Something about Metallica just annoys me, I can't put my finger on it, but that also means that it's just personal preference rather than anything objective.
Also Slayer is like in my top 10 bands of all time, they're what got me into metal but I certainly see why people dislike them😂😭
@@sixstringtv1 I don't dislike 'em, in fact, I don't dislike any band, every band has their listener
And believe me, I totally understand why people may not like Metallica, but they are number 1 for me, so djyeah)
I enjoy first six by Megadeth (besides countdown) quite a bit. After that there are a few albums here and there I like but nothing that is outstanding
Hook in Mouth is one of Megadeth's absolute bests. No question. No argument. I shat myself today.
Megadeth has an incredible history peace sells and rust in peace are 2 of the best albums of all time.
I met Mustaine once, he was a total dick. I cannot say I am a huge fan but I did enjoy some of their music. I was wondering what happened to him and *poof* here is this explanation! Thank you for this! It was well done and well spoken.
''Trust'' would be the correct answer. Kinder words for 13 than for Youthanasia?? Is this guy a troll??
