Metallica and Megadeth are whats known as thrash metal. Heavy metal is ur early metal bands like black sabbath. Fun fact, Dave mustain the singer and rythem guitarist of Megadeth was the original lead guitarist of metallica
Vocals: Dave Mustaine Rhythm guitar: Dave Mustaine (can be lead guitar sometimes) Lead guitar: Marty Friedman Bass: David Ellefson Drums: Nick Menza Megadeth was one of the first metal bands i ever listened to, and have had a huge influence on me. They are a crazy ass band and have been changing band members consistently (think they've gone through 7 or 8 guitarists lol). You have so much energy and to me, are bascially the Coryxkenshin of music rn. Keep up the good work brother, and hope to see you rise to the skies. Btw, you should also check out Avenged Sevenfold. They are a super interesting and experimental band that always do whatever they feel like doing. I personally would recommend the album "City of evil", but we can let the other viewers choose that.
Good reaction, Megadeth is awesome! If you're learning metal though you NEED to hear Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, they along with Sabbath are the godfathers of metal and both singers are among the greatest vocalists ever. For Iron Maiden albums I suggest Number of the Beast (1982), & Powerslave (1984) to start. For Judas Priest I suggest Sad Wings of Destiny (1976), Unleashed in the East (1979), & Painkiller (1990).
Regarding the godfathers of metal, Dave claimed Motorhead was a big influence for him as well. Back in the day, Motorhead, Megadeth, and several other bands were called speed metal. Not just because of their style, but also the drugs
@apoloflores3871 You listen to Coldplay, your playlist is actually embarrassing, you’re the least qualified person ever to criticize Maiden or Priest. You don’t know anything about metal.
Congratulation to listening to 1 of the top 10 metal albums ever!!!! This is a masterpiece and this should almost be among the top albums ever!!! This album got it all and the musical composition is just amazing!
when the guitar riff is so sick u cant help but laugh... sick video im curious how you'd react to some death metal like eaten back to life by cannibal corpse
Marty Friedman was beast back in a day with megadeth he was one of the best thrash metal guitarist but now he is doing solo project he switched his style to more solo friendly classical guitarist
Marty was already a solo artist before he joined Megadeth. His first solo album (Dragon's Kiss) was released in 1988, the same year as the second Cacophony album dropped; he didn't start playing with Mustaine until 1990. Marty and Jason Becker were amazing together as Cacophony but no one ever brings that up. Becker's Perpetual Burn is still considered one of the best (metal) solo albums of all time. Marty is also a session musician and appeared on several studio tracks for other bands throughout the mid to late 1980s, including Ken Tamplin's band Shout.
Your energy is incredible. This album is the holy Bible for electric guitar, and you’re starting in a fantastic spot to explore metal. You can go softer, you can go heavier, there’s endless options for you to sink your teeth into
The voice effect you don´t like in Rust in Peace... Polaris emulates the voice echo inside of a military hangar. That being said, the song is about a nuclear missile, thats why it spread diseases like a dog. Dope reaction, keep them coming! Cheers from Argentina!
This is Thrash Metal in terms of genre...Many thrash metal bands do not growl (there are ones who do) but a lot of modern Thrash bands do clean vocals -> Lich King, Violator etc
This is my favorite album of all time and for good reason. It's the album that made me wanna play guitar, it's the album that truly got me into metal, it showed me how to song write and the intricacies of songwriting, Rust in Peace is a musical delicacy in comparison to any other album the came before or after it. Edit: ALSO MORE INFO the guitarist you liked is Marty Friedman, he's a blues guitarist whose mostly known for Megadeth and for being a Japanese artist. He still tours but separate from Megadeth, with his blues and sorta jpop based shows. Dave Mustaine is the singer and main songwriter as well as the owner of Megadeth. He was actually kicked out of Metallica in 1983 (he was the original lead guitarist, hence why the riffs are absolutely insane) and they proceeded to use his music on their first 3 albums. This album is considered one of the greats in the metal community. It's a great start! Nick Menza is the drummer, he sadly passed away due to a heart attack in 2016 but he was also considered one of the best drummers in all of metal history David Ellefson is the bassist, (responsible for all the basslines+ Dawn Patrol) He's an ok bassist, almost completely known for strictly Megadeth, but he isn't super great of a bassist in metal overall
I love this album so much. It gets better and better and better. Always. I love Megadeth so much. I dont want to type up 8 pages. I love this band. Enjoyed your video Metri. Side note: Five Magics was your fav song? Mustaine wrote it after reading Master of the Five Magics by Lyndon Hardy.
Always love seeing fresh reactions to metal songs/albums, this album has definitely made it's rounds over the years as sort of a rite-of-passage like Master of Puppets. As a lifelong metalhead, lemme lace you up on these albums. Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol. 4 Sleep-Sleep's Holy Mountain, The Sciences High on Fire-The Art of Self Defense, Cometh The Storm, Blessed Black Wings Pentagram-Relentless Morbid Angel-Covenant Slayer-Hell Awaits, Seasons In The Abyss Electric Wizard-Dopethrone, Witchcult Today Venom-Black Metal Celtic Frost-Morbid Tales, To Mega Therion Yngwie Malmsteen-Rising Force Mercyful Fate-Melissa King Diamond-Them, Conspiracy Neurosis-Through Silver & Blood Yob-Atma, Our Raw Heart Down-Nola This should give you some good content, mang.

Man, I’m glad that you’re having all the right reactions to Marty Friedmans solos. It’s hard to recommend something similar because his play style is so unique even among bigger bands
just subcribed, loved watching this video! my dad bough me this CD at Best Buy in like 2009 when I was like 13, I just started getting into music, I was mainly listening to lotssss of metal and Grunge at the time, Slipknot was my favorite band and they were huge at that time. My dad bought this album for me because he wanted to show me how diverse metal was, basically he was like "Yeah Slipknot is cool, but trust me this shit is better, this is what I listened to in High school" e.t.c this album literally changed my life, I fucking love Rust In Peace, definitely one of rhe greatest albums of all time.
Marty Friedman is one of my most impactful inspirations in case of lead guitar playing. The man is a treasure to the guitar world. The instrumentals on this album are out of this world. Tornado of Souls has one of the most respected solos in the metal genre, your reaction reflects that perfectly!
Alright, this is an amazing album reaction!! Granted, this is one of, if not, the GREATEST METAL ALBUMS EVER!! Certainly #1 in my opinion! You got me! Subscribed and ready to see your reaction to Peace Sells But Who's Buying!! It's an older Megadeth album, so you can see their roots, but it's also just about as strong as Rust In Peace!!!
This is Megadeth´s 4th album published in 1990, a thrash metal album considered their masterpiece. For this work the line-up was: Dave Mustaine - Rhythm guitar & vocals Marty Friedman - Lead guitar David Ellefson - Bass Nick Menza (RIP) - Drums Some little info about the tracks: 1. Holy wars... The punishment due: This one is actually 2 songs ("Holy wars" & "The punishment due") the one inspired by an irish conflict at the time where the band got involved during a concert and had to flee in an armored vehicle; the later refers to The punisher comics which made part of Mustaine´s childhood. The weird scratchy sound just before the last solo is a certain type of "Artificial Harmonic", a sound made by pressing lightly with your freet hand and picking over some certain places, not a common technique really. It has to be the band´s most famous song. 2. Hangar 18: The drummer Nick convinced Dave to write a song about the Area 51. This one has a cool video featuring the supposed aliens at it. The chord progression at the begining is taken from an older Metallica demo "When hell freezes over" which eventually became "The call of ktulu". It happens that Mustaine used to be a former member of Metallica and wrote a bunch of songs for the band, included the forementioned before being kicked out due to his drunk behavior. 3. Take no prisoners: This has to be one of the hardest songs the band has ever written. The album cover artwork was in charge of Ed Repka which has previously work for the band and many other; it depicts the band´s mascot "Vic Rattlehead" present since the very first album and designed by Mustaine himself, a skeleton that incarnates the phrase "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". 4. Five magics: Never got to be played live until the 2010 album´s anniversary tour, though it use to be played at sound checks in early 90´s. The song is about a book of Mustaine´s childhood. The title makes sense as the 5th solo section and the "I master five magics" are both in meters of 5 beats instead of the usual 4, again that´s pretty unusual and at the begining might sound awkard, it takes time to get used to and enjoy it. 5. Poison was the cure: Actually the hardest Megadeth song hands down. This was the first solo Marty recorded and it is splendid. Song´s about Dave´s addiction to heroin; shit was so bad around the band that caused previous members to be unable to play. Mustaine and Ellefson went several times to rehab until eventually getting clean, meanwhile the album was made during the abuse of drugs just as the previous ones. 6. Lucretia: About a granny ghost living in Dave´s attic. The laught at the begining is Mustaine LOL. Also features some weird measure of 31/16? beats by the verses. I love this one, it is so unique within Megadeth´s cathalogue. It has some of the best both Dave´s and Marty´s solos. To think that Mustaine was about to not give Marty a chance to audition just because of his hairstyle. 7. Dawn patrol: Mustaine added it just so Ellefson got a song credited to.Tension between the 2 founding members started and will detonate in the next millenia with Ellefson´s departure of the band in 2 distinct instances. 8. Tornado of souls: People argue this one has one of the best guitar solos in metal. Dave had a girlfriend that he was obsessed with so much that a bunch of classic tracks are dedicated to her including this one. The band plays it almost every time, but recently they got to play it oncemore accompanied by former member Marty Friedman in a couple of shows. 9. Co-written with Nick, this track is also from the time when Dave was in Metallica, in fact you can hear him singing the main riff in an old demo recording while Lars tells him to shut up. There was an incident when Mustaine was listening to the radio while driving and suddenly he hears 1988´s "Child saint - Child saint" instantly thinking "That´s my song" Child Saint admited to learn the song at a party where Mustaine was playing it.
Man there are so many great megadeth songs, next album you should check is "So Far so good.... so what?", also a reccomendation that's more niche for you to listen to later is "Death" since you seem to be enjoying megadeth so far, you will probably fall in love with Death metal, since its basically trash metal but more agressive, sometimes more melodic, progressive and technical it's incredible, another band you should check out later too is dissection, it's a mix between death, thrash and melodic black metal, you should check the following albums Death: Being completely honest, they are one of the only bands ever that have a perfect discography, although i think spiritual healing (album) should be left for last, since i find it a little bit too niche, although i love the album even for me it was hard to get into that album at first. Dissection: The somberlain Storm of the Light's bane. Even if you don't make a video about them, please check their albums out, you won't regret it.
Great pick and great video bro. If you want more albums that sound similar to Rust in Peace you should react to Cowboys from Hell by Pantera. another absolutely goated album
You got me all emotional up in here, man. Sharing the joy and awe in music is life. Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast, but you gotta go on a TOOL journey sometime. 🤘x♾️
Listened to five magics for the first time like three days ago , usually I’d get tired of a song by now after having it on repeat but I haven’t it never gets old !🤍
Im 50 y/0. When this record was made i was 17 or 18 i remember this time...few weeks ago i was back to this album after...30 years and You know what ? Now after all these years i can say this is best album ever..not only Megadeth..not only Thrash metal....this is best album ever :-)!!!!!!!
I'll tip you off to the meaning of the last song bc you might appreciate it more. It's about launching a nuclear missle and starting a nuclear war. Dave, the lead singer is singing the song as though he is the nuclear missle (A Polaris Missle ). His voice changes bc he is a different character...as though he is the Polaris Missle. "Spread disease like a dog...." "discharge my payload..." rotten egg smell of death" . He's basically saying what will happen after the nuclear missle explodes. When will it cease? "The warheads (the missles) will all RUST in peace". That is a play on the phrase, "rest in peace". Meaning, if we choose peace instead of war, the missles will sit in their silos and simply "rust in peace", never to be used to kill millions of people! Thanks for the great reaction video. Looking forward to more in the future. I'll let someone else tell you the difference between types of metal. Even metal fans disagree about what defines each sub-genre of metal. This here is "thrash metal". We all pretty much agree on that.
Dave Mustaine was Metallica"s first lead guitarist. This is why we were all saying on the Black Album reaction that you should give some earlier Metallica a listen, because they used to be just as hard and aggressive as this. I know you're checking out different vands, bur you've GOT to check out Metallica's Master of Puppets, man, it's seen by many as one of the absolute GOATs.
If you like metal with clean vocals, Draconian Times by Paradise Lost is an album I think you'd enjoy. Always happy to see people getting into metal for the first time. I feel lucky to have been raised on it and I love recommending new music to people!
Okay man, this might be a bit too early But I recommend you listen to a band called Children of Bodom It's an amazing band that mixes melodic and heaviness into one thing. And its a good band for you to start getting into the more aggressive vocal style. More specifically try the third (blue) album - Follow the Reaper
hey !! i love your channel and have been watching for a few months now. i like that you've branched off into more rock and metal, even if i loved your lana del rey reactions (which is the main reason i love her sm). i think that you'd might (not 100% sure) like korn. since i wouldnt pick any certain album, i would say listen to their compilation, which is "korn greatest hits vol. 1". i will say, though, that he tends to yell in his music. i know you don't like the screamning type of music, which i understand, but it's not the same as that. i listen to a lot of everything, and i started branching out into metal and numetal this year. i think it may not be your thing at first, but if you give it a chance, you might like it. keep up the amazing work and i look forward to seeing what albums you react to next !! 💓
10:51 Btw if you felt the need to play electric guitar, do it!! I was the same way, this album is what got me into guitar originally and it’s quite literally designed for guitar nerds. Guitar is great for your mental health and super satisfying. Btw lead guitarist in Megadeth is Marty Friedman and he’s a huge legend to most. Inspired many many people to play.
Rust In Peace is easily one of my favorite albums of all time. But another favorite classic metal song of mine would be The Hellion/Electric Eye by Judas Priest. Way ahead of its time in my opinion!
The song Rust In Peace… Polaris is sung from two prospectives, the weird voice is a nuclear weapon named Polaris and the normal voice I can only assume is some kind of narration
"Heavy Metal" is just what Metal was called in the very beginning, but after the genre split into different sub-genres like thrash metal, power metal ect. the umbrella term of "Metal" came to be. In the scene "Heavy Metal" is used to describe the bands who stick to the old school sound. It's basically a subgenre in metal.
We've got Black Sabbath, Metallica and now Megadeth. It would be criminal not to do Slayer next. I would say probably start with their album Show No Mercy (it's their first album and it's a banger). Reign In Blood is also a really sick one with songs like Angel of Death and Raining Blood. Aside from that, I would also recommend South of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss. I also, personally, like their newer 2015 album Repentless, but I haven't seen that many reactions to that album. Show No Mercy would be a good start though. My dad literally has/had the whole album memorized and when he was in school he took acid once and someone asked what he was listening to and he gave them the headphones and nothing was playing but he was singing along because he had the whole thing memorized and was hallucinating the music.
lol I watched you listen to this whole album and the best part was when the Tornado of Souls guitar solo was coming up. I knew you were about to hear Marty Friedman's masterpiece solo, but you didn't. You had the right reaction.
Metal with growls that i believe you can appreciate, you like the musical side of metal, the riffs and rhythms? Try Opeth, their live performance of Harlequin forest in 4k at royal alberts hall, its like a completely new genre of music and a total vibe. believe me.
a curious fact about the album "rust in peace", is that it is one of the most technical albums in the trash metal genre(more difficult in terms of techniques and theory and practice on musical instruments), making Dave Mustaine(vocalist and rhythm guitar) pass sleepless nights practicing and studying until I reached the point of falling asleep with the guitar in his arms. and the result was one of the greatest pearls in metal
Man, this is so far the best Megadeth react I ever seen haha, I felt the same when I listened Rust In Peace for the first time. I have to recommend the album Youthanasia (my fav by Megadeth), it's not too fast as RIP but for me is deeper and the vocals are better. React please to Angra (first band from Megadeth's ex-guitarist Kiko Loureiro) and Sepultura too that left a big influence to nu metal bands

Could you please react to The hurting album by tears for fears? I love your content❤️
You should listen to Night Beat by Sam Cooke, I think it’s the greatest Soul album ever 🙏
Portals by Mel and Weedkiller by ashnikko im BEGGING🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
if you want an Epic Metal Album to listen to, check out "Avenged Sevenfold's" - "City of Evil"
one of the greatest metal albums - toxicity by soad
“Is his fingers sniffing crack?”
Well, yea.
I mean... well... yeah. lol
@@MWingate970 my man done almost every drug known to planet and is still around to tell the tale after basically creating thrash metal
@@XoiZhiv And he's still going
Just like Ozzy
Best line I've ever heard in reaction to a guitar solo. ong
I mean... one could say that
Megadeth is my favourite band and i was reacting along with you as if i don’t hear these damn songs everyday😭😭
omg same i listen to it very often and i’m always mind blown it’s just so good
I swear whenever I hear “Trust” by Megadeth I die inside. It’s so amazing, especially the buildup to the guitar solo
OMG SAMEE
Respect for liking Five Magics, a song that many times gets overlooked.
Metallica and Megadeth are whats known as thrash metal. Heavy metal is ur early metal bands like black sabbath. Fun fact, Dave mustain the singer and rythem guitarist of Megadeth was the original lead guitarist of metallica

THANK YOU
@@mkmetri also Dave Mustaine is vocals too
Goated lineup
@@mythic_rx7 indeed! Friedman is so damn good he made Mustaine sober up and practice more on guitar lol
Nick is the goat
Rust in Peace is my favorite album of all time. It’s a banger from the beginning to the end. Once you start it, you can’t stop it.
I bet if you listen to Pantera- Vulgar display of power, you will like the growl.
I was literally about to comment this haha
Yesssss
what the hell is the growl?
@Xenix-xb4gw growl like singing?
Listen to Cowboys from Hell and you’ll hear all of the singer's, Phil Anselmo, full range, especially Cemetery Gates
i know you aint ready for it yet but symbolic by death is a great album it just goes to show how good death metal is and dw the vocals there are great
Chuck Schulinder was a music genius who died way too soon.
You are EPIC for doming the whole album in one go! You are the react GOAT!
Next please do Painkiller by Judas Priest or Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden, both absolute legendary classics
yesssssss!! defenders of the faith and powerslave are also two amazing albums from those bands
My personal maiden fav is Somewhere in Time
Oh, you need to see the video for Holy Wars The Punishment Due. You will see them go absolutely nuts, especially the drummer!
Vocals: Dave Mustaine
Rhythm guitar: Dave Mustaine (can be lead guitar sometimes)

Megadeth was one of the first metal bands i ever listened to, and have had a huge influence on me. They are a crazy ass band and have been changing band members consistently (think they've gone through 7 or 8 guitarists lol). You have so much energy and to me, are bascially the Coryxkenshin of music rn. Keep up the good work brother, and hope to see you rise to the skies.

countdown to extinction is another great album by them ! definitely give it a listen
yeah, countdown is a little more commercial, but it's still really good. i really like captive honour, but it doesn't seem to get much attention.

when the guitar riff is so sick u cant help but laugh... sick video im curious how you'd react to some death metal like eaten back to life by cannibal corpse
I STRONGLY recommend you listen to the band Pantera (Their guitarist is considered to be one of the best in metal history)
Always dime time in my house 3:33
The good thing is that this is the best metal album ever made and you got to experience it. The bad thing is that this is as good as metal gets.
Your reactions were awesome, bang the thrash 💯💯🤘🏻🤘🏻
Marty Friedman was beast back in a day with megadeth he was one of the best thrash metal guitarist but now he is doing solo project he switched his style to more solo friendly classical guitarist
His recent albums Inferno and Wall of Sound are some of the best metal I've heard in a while
Mustaine, Friedman, Ellefson and Menza best lineup.

Oh nice i wish i could feel like you did, the moment to hear Tornado of Souls for the first time is just amazing.
Your energy is incredible. This album is the holy Bible for electric guitar, and you’re starting in a fantastic spot to explore metal. You can go softer, you can go heavier, there’s endless options for you to sink your teeth into

Yep, it got me playing guitar. It’s really an album for guitar nerds.

My dad bought this album for me because he wanted to show me how diverse metal was, basically he was like "Yeah Slipknot is cool, but trust me this shit is better, this is what I listened to in High school" e.t.c this album literally changed my life, I fucking love Rust In Peace, definitely one of rhe greatest albums of all time.
up next for metal is Iron Maiden the Number of the Beast album. it is a great album!
Peace Sells - Megadeth. The whole album :D
Marty Friedman is one of my most impactful inspirations in case of lead guitar playing. The man is a treasure to the guitar world. The instrumentals on this album are out of this world. Tornado of Souls has one of the most respected solos in the metal genre, your reaction reflects that perfectly!
Damn he listened to the whole album at once! I just closed whatever video I was just watching and went here when I noticed it in the reccomended
Alright, this is an amazing album reaction!! Granted, this is one of, if not, the GREATEST METAL ALBUMS EVER!! Certainly #1 in my opinion!
You got me! Subscribed and ready to see your reaction to Peace Sells But Who's Buying!! It's an older Megadeth album, so you can see their roots, but it's also just about as strong as Rust In Peace!!!
My bro is in heaven right now while listening to metal. Let's goooooooo more metalllllll! btw, welcome to the metal community.
Dam how much I envy my first listen to this, I'm extremely jealous haha. Hope you enjoy it man
This is Megadeth´s 4th album published in 1990, a thrash metal album considered their masterpiece. For this work the line-up was:
Dave Mustaine - Rhythm guitar & vocals
Marty Friedman - Lead guitar
David Ellefson - Bass
Nick Menza (RIP) - Drums
Some little info about the tracks:
1. Holy wars... The punishment due: This one is actually 2 songs ("Holy wars" & "The punishment due") the one inspired by an irish conflict at the time where the band got involved during a concert and had to flee in an armored vehicle; the later refers to The punisher comics which made part of Mustaine´s childhood. The weird scratchy sound just before the last solo is a certain type of "Artificial Harmonic", a sound made by pressing lightly with your freet hand and picking over some certain places, not a common technique really. It has to be the band´s most famous song.
2. Hangar 18: The drummer Nick convinced Dave to write a song about the Area 51. This one has a cool video featuring the supposed aliens at it. The chord progression at the begining is taken from an older Metallica demo "When hell freezes over" which eventually became "The call of ktulu". It happens that Mustaine used to be a former member of Metallica and wrote a bunch of songs for the band, included the forementioned before being kicked out due to his drunk behavior.
3. Take no prisoners: This has to be one of the hardest songs the band has ever written. The album cover artwork was in charge of Ed Repka which has previously work for the band and many other; it depicts the band´s mascot "Vic Rattlehead" present since the very first album and designed by Mustaine himself, a skeleton that incarnates the phrase "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".
4. Five magics: Never got to be played live until the 2010 album´s anniversary tour, though it use to be played at sound checks in early 90´s. The song is about a book of Mustaine´s childhood. The title makes sense as the 5th solo section and the "I master five magics" are both in meters of 5 beats instead of the usual 4, again that´s pretty unusual and at the begining might sound awkard, it takes time to get used to and enjoy it.
5. Poison was the cure: Actually the hardest Megadeth song hands down. This was the first solo Marty recorded and it is splendid. Song´s about Dave´s addiction to heroin; shit was so bad around the band that caused previous members to be unable to play. Mustaine and Ellefson went several times to rehab until eventually getting clean, meanwhile the album was made during the abuse of drugs just as the previous ones.
6. Lucretia: About a granny ghost living in Dave´s attic. The laught at the begining is Mustaine LOL. Also features some weird measure of 31/16? beats by the verses. I love this one, it is so unique within Megadeth´s cathalogue. It has some of the best both Dave´s and Marty´s solos. To think that Mustaine was about to not give Marty a chance to audition just because of his hairstyle.
7. Dawn patrol: Mustaine added it just so Ellefson got a song credited to.Tension between the 2 founding members started and will detonate in the next millenia with Ellefson´s departure of the band in 2 distinct instances.
8. Tornado of souls: People argue this one has one of the best guitar solos in metal. Dave had a girlfriend that he was obsessed with so much that a bunch of classic tracks are dedicated to her including this one. The band plays it almost every time, but recently they got to play it oncemore accompanied by former member Marty Friedman in a couple of shows.
9. Co-written with Nick, this track is also from the time when Dave was in Metallica, in fact you can hear him singing the main riff in an old demo recording while Lars tells him to shut up. There was an incident when Mustaine was listening to the radio while driving and suddenly he hears 1988´s "Child saint - Child saint" instantly thinking "That´s my song" Child Saint admited to learn the song at a party where Mustaine was playing it.
pretty sure dave got clean before writing this album. He was definitely struggling on so far so good though.
Disturbed - Ten thousand fists
You gotta hear this album, full of bangers, bars, grooves, uniqueness, etc... A gem of the 2000s metal
Man there are so many great megadeth songs, next album you should check is "So Far so good.... so what?", also a reccomendation that's more niche for you to listen to later is "Death" since you seem to be enjoying megadeth so far, you will probably fall in love with Death metal, since its basically trash metal but more agressive, sometimes more melodic, progressive and technical it's incredible, another band you should check out later too is dissection, it's a mix between death, thrash and melodic black metal, you should check the following albums
Death:
Being completely honest, they are one of the only bands ever that have a perfect discography, although i think spiritual healing (album) should be left for last, since i find it a little bit too niche, although i love the album even for me it was hard to get into that album at first.
Dissection:
The somberlain
Storm of the Light's bane.
Even if you don't make a video about them, please check their albums out, you won't regret it.
Hey, this was cool watching you experience this. I haven't thought about half these songs in 25 years. Glad you like it. \m/
Great pick and great video bro. If you want more albums that sound similar to Rust in Peace you should react to Cowboys from Hell by Pantera. another absolutely goated album
Second
I fukin love your reactions
really good video man, your reactions are sick! even I can't believe I watched through the entire video LOL
You got me all emotional up in here, man. Sharing the joy and awe in music is life. Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast, but you gotta go on a TOOL journey sometime. 🤘x♾️
This
'Countdown to Extinction' comes next brother. this album is more 'chill' but still fuxking deep as all hell.
Hell yeah Five Magics is a favorite for me too. This entire album is too good.
Listened to five magics for the first time like three days ago , usually I’d get tired of a song by now after having it on repeat but I haven’t it never gets old !🤍
real af, Rust in Peace in general never gets boring.
Greatest Thrash metal album of all-time.
Your Reaction to Marty's guitar solo at Tornado Souls was my reaction when I first heard that song back in 2004 when I was 11 years old.
Im 50 y/0. When this record was made i was 17 or 18 i remember this time...few weeks ago i was back to this album after...30 years and You know what ? Now after all these years i can say this is best album ever..not only Megadeth..not only Thrash metal....this is best album ever :-)!!!!!!!
I HIGHLY recommend doing peace sells…but who’s buying for the next album. i’d kill to see you hear the conjuring for the first time
I'll tip you off to the meaning of the last song bc you might appreciate it more. It's about launching a nuclear missle and starting a nuclear war.
Dave, the lead singer is singing the song as though he is the nuclear missle (A Polaris Missle ).
His voice changes bc he is a different character...as though he is the Polaris Missle.
"Spread disease like a dog...."
"discharge my payload..."
rotten egg smell of death" .
He's basically saying what will happen after the nuclear missle explodes.
When will it cease?
"The warheads (the missles) will all RUST in peace".
That is a play on the phrase, "rest in peace".
Meaning, if we choose peace instead of war, the missles will sit in their silos and simply "rust in peace", never to be used to kill millions of people!
Thanks for the great reaction video. Looking forward to more in the future.
I'll let someone else tell you the difference between types of metal. Even metal fans disagree about what defines each sub-genre of metal. This here is "thrash metal". We all pretty much agree on that.
Dave Mustaine was Metallica"s first lead guitarist. This is why we were all saying on the Black Album reaction that you should give some earlier Metallica a listen, because they used to be just as hard and aggressive as this.
I know you're checking out different vands, bur you've GOT to check out Metallica's Master of Puppets, man, it's seen by many as one of the absolute GOATs.
Man I've been lovin your content recently. I would totally recommend rex orange county, especially his earlier albums like apricot princess!
bro just discovered the holy grail itself. Keep rockin bro hope you do enjoy metal shi and stuff😅😂
Your genuinely a G for this vid im subbing, at 0:58 that reaction is the realest thing ever
If you like metal with clean vocals, Draconian Times by Paradise Lost is an album I think you'd enjoy. Always happy to see people getting into metal for the first time. I feel lucky to have been raised on it and I love recommending new music to people!
Okay man, this might be a bit too early
But I recommend you listen to a band called Children of Bodom
It's an amazing band that mixes melodic and heaviness into one thing. And its a good band for you to start getting into the more aggressive vocal style.
More specifically try the third (blue) album - Follow the Reaper
By the way, Marty’s solo on Tornado is widely regarded as one of the best ever. Megadeth is known for the their top notch musicianship.
hey !! i love your channel and have been watching for a few months now. i like that you've branched off into more rock and metal, even if i loved your lana del rey reactions (which is the main reason i love her sm). i think that you'd might (not 100% sure) like korn. since i wouldnt pick any certain album, i would say listen to their compilation, which is "korn greatest hits vol. 1". i will say, though, that he tends to yell in his music. i know you don't like the screamning type of music, which i understand, but it's not the same as that. i listen to a lot of everything, and i started branching out into metal and numetal this year. i think it may not be your thing at first, but if you give it a chance, you might like it. keep up the amazing work and i look forward to seeing what albums you react to next !! 💓
10:51 Btw if you felt the need to play electric guitar, do it!! I was the same way, this album is what got me into guitar originally and it’s quite literally designed for guitar nerds. Guitar is great for your mental health and super satisfying. Btw lead guitarist in Megadeth is Marty Friedman and he’s a huge legend to most. Inspired many many people to play.
Sub earned! Great reaction
i'd recommend watching old interviews, making of albums, and documentaries on megadeth and other bands you discover to really get to know them
You should react to some of the live metal concerts im telling you you’d love to see the way they play all the instruments!
one of the greatest albums of all time, great choice! they are amazing live
Rust In Peace is easily one of my favorite albums of all time.
But another favorite classic metal song of mine would be The Hellion/Electric Eye by Judas Priest. Way ahead of its time in my opinion!
The song Rust In Peace… Polaris is sung from two prospectives, the weird voice is a nuclear weapon named Polaris and the normal voice I can only assume is some kind of narration
"Heavy Metal" is just what Metal was called in the very beginning, but after the genre split into different sub-genres like thrash metal, power metal ect. the umbrella term of "Metal" came to be. In the scene "Heavy Metal" is used to describe the bands who stick to the old school sound. It's basically a subgenre in metal.
This is peak Megadeth, I was 13 when this album came out and it's still a favorite of mine. Still listen to it all the damn time.
hopefully we get portals reaction soon😞
I consider this to be one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Every song is incredible.
Love your open mind… let’s explore rap
We've got Black Sabbath, Metallica and now Megadeth. It would be criminal not to do Slayer next. I would say probably start with their album Show No Mercy (it's their first album and it's a banger). Reign In Blood is also a really sick one with songs like Angel of Death and Raining Blood. Aside from that, I would also recommend South of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss. I also, personally, like their newer 2015 album Repentless, but I haven't seen that many reactions to that album. Show No Mercy would be a good start though.
My dad literally has/had the whole album memorized and when he was in school he took acid once and someone asked what he was listening to and he gave them the headphones and nothing was playing but he was singing along because he had the whole thing memorized and was hallucinating the music.
lol I watched you listen to this whole album and the best part was when the Tornado of Souls guitar solo was coming up. I knew you were about to hear Marty Friedman's masterpiece solo, but you didn't. You had the right reaction.
Genuinely appreciate your respect for metal.
Metal with growls that i believe you can appreciate, you like the musical side of metal, the riffs and rhythms? Try Opeth, their live performance of Harlequin forest in 4k at royal alberts hall, its like a completely new genre of music and a total vibe. believe me.
any metal guitar part you hear that isn't a solo is safe to call a riff
a curious fact about the album "rust in peace", is that it is one of the most technical albums in the trash metal genre(more difficult in terms of techniques and theory and practice on musical instruments), making Dave Mustaine(vocalist and rhythm guitar) pass sleepless nights practicing and studying until I reached the point of falling asleep with the guitar in his arms. and the result was one of the greatest pearls in metal
Man, this is so far the best Megadeth react I ever seen haha, I felt the same when I listened Rust In Peace for the first time. I have to recommend the album Youthanasia (my fav by Megadeth), it's not too fast as RIP but for me is deeper and the vocals are better. React please to Angra (first band from Megadeth's ex-guitarist Kiko Loureiro) and Sepultura too that left a big influence to nu metal bands
