It is still in the original wrapping and everything. I have been a HUGE fan of theirs since 1983 and do not go a day without listening to them.
    The passing of Cliff Burton was one of the saddest days in my life. They have not been the same band since. Don't get me wrong they are still one of the best they just aren't the same. Cliff will be missed by us fans forever.

      Uh no. Dave wrote the Mechanix while in Metallica. They played song live with Dave in the band multiple times. After he was fired it was rewritten as the four horsemen. The Mechanix was released on Megadeths first album. Get it right.

    • @kulidrikke
      @kulidrikke 3 года назад +10

      the four horsemen is metallicas version, the original and first draft of the song was mechanix, wich dave had the rights to and used on the megadeth debut album. and he didnt leave the band, he got fired, they literally just woke him up, drove him to the bus stop and left him there.

    Man, taking me back. 1988, 17 years old. Smoking out and listening to Metalica was our thing... Always cranked. Our group of friends made our way to Tampa. Monsters of Rock in the "Old Sombrero Stadium" .... Hot hot hot day. Of course smoking and drinking all day... Groups: Kingdom come, Dokin, Scorpions, Metalica and Van Halen.... Metalica comes on and it gets cloudy and starts to rain... Lightning and thunder in the distance. Metalica just jammed the F out. The entire stadium was full and the floor was packed. No one sat then entire time. At that point, that was the best show I had ever seen. Tool at Oz Fest took that many years later. But, man, what a great Fn time that was! I have really enjoyed your reaction videos to Metalica. Thanks for bring me back man.

But everyone that got hooked on them during the mid 80s immediately went out and bought their first two albums.... If you had all their albums, you were the shat. Def remember firing em up and spending hundreds of hours tryin to learn their guitar riffs (remember RUclips wasn't even thought of). Most had to learn by ear, a friend unless your family had the funds to buy the tablature books. Best era ever. Hands down. 80s!!! Glad i got to experience them.

So i was left out in the truck where they were playing Kill em All and Ride back to back on the radio. At first I was disappointed to be out in the middle of nowhere, but then I really just got in to the music. Middle of nowhere, dark, huge truck, loud stereo, it was just perfect. Been a fan every since. The next few days was interesting to say the least. Backwoods sheriffs, jails and all. ahh memories.

      The thing I don't like about Megadeth is Dave's voice... It's rather unpleasant at times and it ruins most of their songs, which are great, although not as memorable as the stuff James writes imo.

      The only reason Metallica have any good songs is because Dave Mustaine used to be in the band.

    FINALLY !!!! I have been asking you to do this for 2 years ! I knew you'd love it ! Now hopefully it doesn't take another 2 years to get you to react to what I consider to be the most overlooked song on Kill Em All , No Remorse !! One listen and you'll understand why........

      @@pinzgauerbelgium How can most of the riffs be written by Dave if he only has writing credit on 4 songs? You do realize if they were his riffs he'd get a writing credit for them, hence why most of the riffs are not Daves. Unless you think for some odd reason Dave just didn't want writing credit on riffs that were his, which we both know dave would never have let them do
