Crap day at work and got home with my glass half full. Booted up the computer and saw a new NicknLex video. Thanks for filling my glass back up. You two made my day.......again.
Wise Idea using the original recordings and not the remasters. For a few years on youtube, this solo was the gold standard for metal guitarists uploading videos. Probably still is.
To get a real dose of Marty Friedman's unique style, you two should check out "Valley of Eternity" from his solo album scenes. The entire album is a beautifully relaxing, musical masterpiece and most metal guitarists have never even heard it. The title is a perfect because of the images it paints with your imagination. Marty is such a soulful player and criminally underrated.
100% agree with you.Marty is in a league of his own. His playing is beyond belief. I have heard Scenes, introduction and True obsessions and he is just so unique ♥️ like you said so underated it's sick
Love It! This is one of my favorite Megadeth albums! So much power and emotion in these tracks and some blazing drum tracks as well. As I said, one of my favorites!
Emerson Lake and Palmer did a song called "Take a Pebble" you would like. Alternately, you might try "Icarus Born on Wings of Steel" by Kansas, which is a heavier song.
Love Kansas so much. I think Miracles Out Of Nowhere would be a perfect intro and I'm certainly not disregarding Icarus which is amazing. Or just take the prog plunge and go straight to Journey From Mariabronn???
I'm with you on Kansas, I'm HUGE fan (and just got myself 2 shirts from their site). And from the debut album, I'm gonna' go with "The Barbarian", its short but they put so much into it and Keith's Hammond makes it so heavy. Even the 1st Guitar Center's here in SoCal used it for their 1st advertisements on FM Radio.
@@mvunit3 The Barbarian wasn't actually writen by ELP, it's a remake of a Bartok Piece Allegro Barbaro. I love it, but thought I would ask for an original.
YES!! I really appreciate that you searched the internet for an original un mastered version. They are hard to find. All of us hardcore Megadeth fans from the 80s were absolutely livid with the remaster job they did in 2004. It’s universally panned by everyone. I bought it when it was released because my original copy had really low volume when I ripped it to my computer to make mp3s in the late 90s and I figured a remastered copy would sound better but I’ll never forget putting this one and the Peace Sells... But, Who’s Buying? discs into my car stereo and almost throwing them out the window. Anyway, Nick, you’re correct about the vocals on the remasters. Dave Mustaine did re-record some vocals or they used alternate takes from the original sessions because the original master disc from 1990 was either lost or damaged. It’s a long sordid story... also, Mustaine did more or less admit to sabotaging the remasters because Megadeth had been dropped by Capitol records and they still had some contractual obligations so it was kind of a big “F you” to them. Great reaction as always. Had to wait to watch until I got home from work so it was everything I hoped. 🤘🏼
Thank you so much for your support! So happy you enjoyed this with us. And it was honestly a challenge to find the originals. They should have them more available! Thanks again, Lex :)
This is a classic album...I remember buying it when it came out in 1990 and was just blown away...the previous album was good but this ....this is a classic of it's genre.
Headbanging in the middle of the week. What will my doctor say? For a nod to this genre from a recent band that is usually known for neopsychedelia, listen to "Planet B" by KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD.
What sup guys! My Name is Mike and I'm a Metalhead! Please react to the band "RAINBOW" feature RONNIE JAMES DIO song title "Stargazer" and "A Light in the Black" on album called Rising ..Enjoy 🤘
So how can one top this? Well, there is this guy named .................... Jeff .. And if it were not for Jeff, we possibly may not have ever had -- Marty .. Check out "The River Dragon Has Come" by Nevermore ..
I 2nd that; I think Nick N Lex would not only be wowed by their music, but by the late-great Warrel Dane on vocals, and Jeff Loomis on guitar (and those who guested in the touring/recording line-ups). Van Williams, the drummer is HIGHLY underrated. Also, I did not know that Loomis tried out for Megadeth after reading your comment; "And if it were not for Jeff, we possibly may not have ever had -- Marty". As I just found the story on the Wiki page for Jeff Loomis, apparently he was too young to join them, and then saw Cacophony and met Marty and told him about the audition for the next Megadeth line-up. Amazing. Blows my mind . . . Marty Friedman and Jason Becker's band "Cacophony" and their debut ("Speed Metal Symphony" 1987) pre-dates Nevermore's debut album by 8 years, and Friedman's 1st solo album ("Dragon's Kiss) was released in 1988. Its hard to believe Marty is that much older than Loomis. Now Loomis is with Arch Enemy. - Nick would LOVE "Conquering Dystopia" from guitarists Loomis and Keith Merrow.
Another great reaction! I love that you two know Jason Becker’s work (Cacophony fans, anyone?). This solo ranks in the top 3 for me (behind David Gilmour in Time and Alex Lifeson in La Villa Strangiato). He really makes you feel it. Dave Mustiane had a great quote “David Gilmour can say more in 3 notes than Yngwie Malmstein can 150, but at least they’re both trying!”. Other great MegaDeth tracks to check out: Rust In Peace: Polaris (has one of the catchiest riffs in metal), Ashes In Your Mouth, The Disintegrators, My Last Words, New World Order, Good Morning Black Friday. Thanks for what you two do!
Many people consider this the best Hard Rock/Metal solo of alltime. I have it number 3, behind Alex Lifeson’s solo at the end of The Necromancer by Rush and Michael Schenker’s solo on Rock Bottom by UFO.
When this album debuted . . . Hardly anyone knew who Marty was, but I had discovered the 2 debut solo albums from Marty and his friend Jason Becker, and their 1st Band album "Cacophony" (as I was and still am, heavily into Technical Metal/Math Metal. I had also heard about Marty Friedman many years before and his band "Hawaii"). So I was ready to see/hear what Marty was going to contribute. Rust in Peace is one of those albums that inspired many to go in that technical direction. For suggestions off this album; Polaris, Take No Prisoners . . . . and the Holy Grail; "Holy Wars". Another fave track, because how Mustaine sings/"talks" in a unique way; "Sweating Bullets" from Countdown to Extinction. That guitar solo, its gotta' be in my Top 10 guitar solos of all time. Yet another 2 requests, not from the "Big 4" but the bands I moved onto who were progressing the Thrash genre (which I could name many), from the Bay Area Thrash scene; *Forbidden* - Parting of the Ways/Infinite, or Forbidden Evil. And from Germany, the Teutonic giants; *Kreator* - As the Sun Burns Red, or Betrayer. Both band tracks have astounding solos, and songs that were technical but still retains the aggressive Thrash song structure. \m/
I am not sure if you have heard the band Black Mountain? If not, perhaps you may like a song from Black Mountain IV called Space To Bakersfield. You may want to give it a listen. Psychedelia anyone?
For more amazing guitar, check out Tony MacAlpine's first two albums - "Edge of Insanity" (1986) and "Maximum Security" (1987). They are Instrumental Rock/Neoclassical Metal.
Nick probably already knows them, but if you want to delve deeper into Thrash that is also highly melodic and interesting guitarwise and of a more well known band: Testament! If you dont mind getting a little more into harsh and underground territory, Sylosis, Revocation, Havok, Vektor, Voivod, Watchtower, Coroner, Annihilator, Anacrusis, Toxik, Mekong Delta. instrumentally all very great bands.
Hola nick y lex, soy de chile y he visto alguna de sus reacciones y me han gustado mucho, sobre todo la de spinetta, yo soy un amante de spinetta y agradezco haberlo conocido, les envio un gran abrazo, seria espectacular si reaccionan a un tema del flaco que es realmente hermoso, La Melodia es en tu Alma, es una cancion que juega mucho con lo que actualmente se encuentra en youtube como 8d, es muy interesante, seria un lindo regalo de verdad, muchos besos y sigan asi, son geniales.
Muchísimas gracias por el apoyo y la sugerencia!! Prometemos tomarla en cuenta. No cabe duda qué hay mucho por descubrir y nosotros ansiosos por hacerlo!! Saludo cálido, Lex :)
Do something super early off "KIMB..ABIG".......Skull Beneath the Skin or Rattlehead. Give Lex a little background on how awesome they were from the get go! Don't do the remasters...LOL.
You guy's don't have to pause the songs at all, you know. Look at Andy & Alex, reviewers like your selves... they never pause any songs and very rarely get their video's taken down. And when they do, they post them on their Patreon channel, where you have the freedom to post any song or video without threat of being taken down and to where you can charge $1 to $5 a month for your subscribers and actually make money at what you love to do. You should also do some research on the bands you're going to review. Like Steely Dan... you did chose a couple of good songs, however, Steely Dan was very popular in the states and had several top 20 hits including :Reelin' in the Years, Do it Again, Rikki Don't Lose That Number..l to name a few. Steely Dan is really two guy's, Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards) and the late Walter Becker. They hired studio musicians to record and tour. They were perfectionists. They have many more hits. Btw, Steely Dan is the name of a sex toy... look it up! Hi, my name is Jay. I lived through the 70's and went to many concerts of the bands you are now reviewing. I was one of the lucky few that got to see Rush, in concert, play a 4 hour show, because their opening band never showed up. If you have any questions about any rock groups, just ask. big.j.dog@hotmail.com
You guys know I love your knowledge of real good musicians! Drums, guitar! You have to do Randy Rhoades live! Best Rock guitarist ever! Died too young! Alex life’s on from Rush, and Stevie Ray Vaughn! The best! Simple. Oh and Rikk Emmitt from Triumph. Simple!
One can certainly say that Dave has always had a penchant for putting his political views within his lyrics a lot of times. Which, in Metal during the 80's and early 90's, was pretty much non-existent. Lol, people just didn't bother to "catch" a lot of what the message was...it kinda blew past you. After all, it IS Speed/Thrash Metal lol...
Marty's tone would make a statue cry.
i guess I'm pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Marvin Adam Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!!
@Alejandro Gianni no problem xD
The MID MEGA Line up. BEST LINE UP EVERRR!!!

Still is and will be. This solo is the best in metal history.
Marty kills it but let's not forget the VERY sorely missed Nick Menza and his stickmanship. (RIP)
Every song from this album is 🔥🔥🔥
Rust In Peace was released in 1990
One of the greatest Guitar solos of all time

That was really good. I never got into Megadeth. I'll have to check out more of their work.
Try In my darkest hour or conquer or die
avoid the remasters except for the first album which original is still good
Great choice. Megadeth is such a gift to us all! Randy Rhoads time yet guys? Diary of a madman. Ozzy and Randy mean so much to me.
If you miss the bass check Five Magics 👍
In the fastest part of the solo, Marty's not even really counting anymore. It's just felt. You just have to fuckin send it.
Love It! This is one of my favorite Megadeth albums! So much power and emotion in these tracks and some blazing drum tracks as well. As I said, one of my favorites!
How about giving Take No Prisoners a little spin?
Rarely reacted to and seriously kick-ass track😀🤘
I went to a show called Clash of the Titans back in the 90's. It was Alice in Chains,Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth closing. Dam.What a night.
Awesome reaction to a great thrash song by Megadeath. Love the energy they bring in this song. The drumming really drives the song along.
Nick Menza is MINT
Emerson Lake and Palmer did a song called "Take a Pebble" you would like. Alternately, you might try "Icarus Born on Wings of Steel" by Kansas, which is a heavier song.
Kevin, we have to keep bugging them. Take A Pebble is genius level stuff. Especially that live version with Keith strumming the piano strings.
Love Kansas so much. I think Miracles Out Of Nowhere would be a perfect intro and I'm certainly not disregarding Icarus which is amazing. Or just take the prog plunge and go straight to Journey From Mariabronn???
I'm with you on Kansas, I'm HUGE fan (and just got myself 2 shirts from their site). And from the debut album, I'm gonna' go with "The Barbarian", its short but they put so much into it and Keith's Hammond makes it so heavy. Even the 1st Guitar Center's here in SoCal used it for their 1st advertisements on FM Radio.
@@mvunit3 The Barbarian wasn't actually writen by ELP, it's a remake of a Bartok Piece Allegro Barbaro. I love it, but thought I would ask for an original.
I recommend "Symphony of Destruction" or "Sweating Bullets" or even "Skin of my Teeth" by Megadeth.
Countdown fan huh?
@@Huddle_House56 I played the heck out of it when it came out.
7:59 That's it. That's THE solo.
dang that marty solo..🔥🔥🔥🔥

Metallica and Megadeth is the best bands when i was grow up.
I miss 90's....
90s Metallica was horse shit
@@James-hh1lq yep, but amazing in the 80’s
@@rusty3398 80s metal in general was amazing not just Metallica
80s dude. Megadeth, Metallica, slayer, anthrax, testament, sepultura

Holy wars next...❤❤❤
The Conjuring, Good Morning Black Friday, holy wars, 5 Magics, or Rattlehead. All amazing songs. Great review btw, Marty was a master

Marty created such a crazy good solo.
Try Unchain The Night by Dokken. It probably has one of the best George Lynch solos x 2.
George lynch is a genius
The greatest metal band of all time. MEGADETH !!!
Best thrash song ever written? One could certainly argue that.
True, there are favorites, not "best"s. If a song becomes a lot of people's favorite, we call it "one of the best".
@@mememaster8050 Semantics dude. Semantics

don't forget the 2 ( ozzy osbourne) Mr Crowley solo's Randy Rhoads did in 1980 and the judas priest painkiller solo from Glenn Tipton
🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏
Do yourselves a favor and check out Hanger 18 and Return to Hangar at (That One Night concert) in Argentina.
You should do In My Darkest Hour, Peace Sells, Wake Up Dead, Ashes in Your mouth and Five Magics.

She wolf
You probably shouldn't stare at her during the solo and distract her, it's a dick move to distract someone from a solo like that.

God himself wrote this guitar solo. 1000s came before, 1000s after. Nothing comes close
I listen. I get Marty. Great guitarist. I don’t get the music. Maybe just to old. Even though I still like Prog I just can’t seem to get this!🤐
