Mustaine isn't really a big singer, but his songs are written with his voice in mind so they fit perfectly. I wouldn't list him in my top 10 favorite singers, but I'll listen Megadeth in my top 10 bands every time.
@@melvindoo8326 Relax, you can enjoy both bands: Is dave a better singer than James? No. But Dave being able to play his complex riffs while singing is a big win on his side aswell.
Mustaine didn't want to sing, either. His bandmates told Mustaine to be the singer after they tried several others and found none of them had the intensity of Mustaine.
Playing instruments is true talent , especially making them work all together , not saying rappers aren't talented but stuff like this is a whole different level of talent
You should be able to find his reaction to “Trapped Under Ice”. He’s done reactions to all of Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, and also And Justice For All.
F U all. The man has musicianship 100x than you all combined even in your dream. We're here for music. Not your lame hypocrite saint and angels cancel society.
@@JoCbreakdown mate, I love Junior. Always been a fan of his playing. I have his book, and plan to pick up his new album with The Lucid. That doesn't mean I can't have a wry chuckle about his unfortunate, but hilarious situation.
You actually nailed it. Much of what Dave Mustaine was writing about was how society dismisses the metal community as dumb, mindless headbangers. He felt that he - and the metal community in general - had much more to say.
Absolutely fantastic song, but it's not a tribute to Cliff. It's a song about his then girlfriend who was not there for him in his darkest moments. Many people think it's a Cliff tribute. It ain't. It's still an absolute banger of a song.
@@SharpAsABricc well, Mustaine has said that its dedicated to him. But obviously the lyrics aren’t about him. Could be wrong tho, but thats what ive heard.
I remember the official video, the kid watching the peace sells and his dad says "What is this garbage you're watching, I wanna watch the news" and the kid turns the TV back to the Megadeth video and says "This IS the news"... the song is apt now as it was in the cold war era..

Well now that UN wasn´t involved in Afganistan any more Talibans took immiediately over and invated the whole country back and got access to 870 billions of worth american war tecnology and weapons that they left behind.
Yea, I have always loved both Metallica and Megadeth. Each has their own sound and identity. Dave Mustaine has a very distinctive voice and style, very different than Metallica.
I grew up on Metallica and as much as I will always love them. Megadeth was a love at first listen and still prefer them. Never hating on Metallica though. Both are fuckin legendary 🤘🏻
daves voice isnt that good, dont get me wrong its better then modern metal bands and there batman impressions but megadeths strongest part is how daves voice is written around the amazing instruments
I saw Megadeth live just after the Paris attacks and the performance of each band was dedicated to the people who died. Which was touching. But you haven't lived until you've been in a stadium chant "Peace sells, but who's buying?" Till it is at a deafening degree and at points louder than the band.
Such an underrated song! Actually the whole So Far So Good album is underrated, it had songs like Set The World Afire, Mary Jane, and i think the most popular track from this album, In My Darkest Hour. Hook In Mouth is such a weird song, but it's one of my favorites from that album. Sounds very Punk.
As a big Metallica and Megadeth fan, I appreciate this so much. As a metal head, this has helped me open up to other types of music. Keep doing your thing, and if you haven't yet, try these Megadeth songs! Go to Hell, Hanger 18, Tornado of Souls, and Sweating Bullets.
Not everyone can appreciate Dave's voice and that's understandable. His voice is one of a kind though. You can find good vocal covers of virtually every other big singer but I have yet to find someone who can duplicate Dave's sound. To me the originality and uniqueness of it is what makes me love and appreciate it. Plus it fits perfectly with the music and lyrics that they write.
@@HeavyRaiden I prefer Mechanix mostly cause I find it sounds better at a faster speed. However, lyrically Four Horsemen beats the crap out of Mechanix. Obviously my opinion of course.
My first experience with Megadeth was at the tender age of 8 when I found my grandpas copy of the Hidden Treasure’s album and listened to the songs Go To Hell and 99 Ways to Die. I think both of these would be great songs to react to for you.
Please, please, listen to something from "Youthanasia". It's my favorite album from them, just tied with Rust in Peace. There are great songs in Youthanasia, like: "Addicted to Chaos", "A Tout le Monde", "The Killing Road", "Blood of Heroes", "I Thought I Knew it All" and many others. Dave is in his prime vocally in this album. All the riffs are catchy and crisp. He sounds so good. Gives it a thumbs up if want to see Alex reacting to it as well!!!
Metallica is arguably just as good, technicality doesn’t mean it’s better, absolute drop kick man. still comparing these two bands is sad and cliche. Music has never been a contest
Dude, Rattlehead is an insane track. Its non stop missile speed guitar work. Especially the 2018 remaster which gives the drums more volume and the guitars as well
If Alex wants more vocal presence from Dave I’d definitely recommend My Last Words from this album or pretty much any song from youthanasia/cryptic writings
5:20 so true, when you hear these guys who makes their music and plays their music, the music youve been listening to before will never be the same. The excitement their music gives is just different. When you appreciate metal, theres no going back. Hahaha
You are right man. Since I was a kid and heard Marty's solo on Symphony of Destruction it made me obsessed. I had to learn guitar and every Made th album is a chance to learn more and grow more as a player
Genuinely man, every time you react to one of these songs it really puts a smile on my face. It takes me back to when I first heard them and had my mind completely blown away. I'm really glad you enjoy them as much as I did. If you ever get the chance, I would love to see you react to the song Nemesis by Decline The Fall. They recently released an acoustic version of it as well.
, as a career musician and longtime fan of actual musicianship. I am seeing over and over in reaction videos that younger people are really being exposed to the awesome power of true composition and musical skill. I think there is potential for excellence in every genre hip hop randb Etc as well. However, Alex hits the nail on the head here that for thousands of years musicians played musical instruments it seems a basic concept but it got lost in this current ERA were programming and sampling and Beats excetera have been considered to be on the same level as say something Beethoven wrote that has endured for hundreds of years. Well, in truth know that shit is not as complicated or as hard as it was to learn to play an instrument well. And it seems like reaction videos are kind of coming to this place of Education and younger people are understanding just how amazing musicianship and real composition and musical knowledge can make you feel in your very soul. It can be magical. That is why great music endures.
*The Metal Tour of the Year was awesome! I've seen Megadeth before at the Big 4 concert in Indio when I was 14 yrs old haha, but this was my first time seeing Trivium and Lamb of God here in Phoenix 🤘*
This shit is still relevant 🤘🏻and as a metal and rap head, no need to choose. There’s plenty to love about both and you’ll start to see some really cool, unexpected parallels between the two (even outside of nu-metal and rap-metal)
In my Darkest hour is a Megadeth classic, so i would suggest that one next.. i will bring you a diffrent vibe then this one to.. not that this vibe aint kick ass, but you want to explore wtf this band can do right:)
I just went to see Megadeth and Lamb Of God on possibly the final Megadeth tour. It was absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend trying to see them live man!
I really like Death Magnetic, and glad to see you suggesting this song. The main riff is one of my favorites of all time. Reminiscent of Blackened, my fav song.
True words spoken which only comes with the years of experience after listening this. Finally, you are there dude in that subliminal state where everything fades and only thing left is rock.
@Alex Hefner, Hi Alex I really enjoy watching your videos. I have severe chronic lower back and neck pain. Most nights I can't sleep because of my chronic pain. I binge watch your videos when I can't sleep. Watching your videos helps me forget about my chronic pain. Thank you for making your videos.
Go with some deeper cuts, Alex! Everybody and their mother has reacted to "Peace Sells" and "Holy Wars"... You should seriously consider reacting to tunes like "Head Crusher", "FFF" or even "The Conjuring"
On a serious note, I have seen both Metallica and Megadeath in concert. Metallica Thanksgiving 1991 in KC and it blew my mind. I saw Megadeath in Wichita, KS around the same time on the Countdown to Extinction tour at a smaller venue. Both shows were equaly impressive. The Megadeath show they played Sweating Bullets. Dave Mustane started the first line of the song and the crowd took over and sang the rest of it, and he let them. At the end of the song he was genuinely honored and thanked the crowd. He was damn near in tears that some obscure city in Kansas knew his song so well they could sign it back to him. I will never forget it. Side note: The opening band was STP when they had 1 song on the radio called Sex Type Thing. I remember going to the show thinking "Who the hell are they??" and being blown away at their performance and thinking they are going places!!!!
Man, this must have been one of your first reactions, but, i´m glad that finally you react to this song, this is one of the songs that every metalhead know, its iconic, good reaction man, cheers
Alex, you're spot on about the bass in metal. You should absolutely listen to "Souls of Black" by Testament. Amazing song and the bass line sets the entire tone.
He has listened to that song I believe but that is the only testament song so far that he has done. I’ve commented for a long time for testament I want him to revisit them for sure!
The rivalry stemmed from Mustain being angry when he was fired from Metallica before Kill 'Em All, he said Megadeth was his revenge, even some of the songs on Metallica's first to albums has Mustain in the writing credits, but I think they have mended their ways with The Big 4 tour
80's/90's metal had a lot of social and political themes. People don't really catch that unless they pay attention to the lyrics. Nice that you talk about that.
a lot of us old metal heads grew up around NWA and such, but lived the 80s n 909s. MTV brought variety. i am very fortunate that i survived and learned all thru these decades of metal.
I had the same epiphany as you about a year ago. I spent almost my whole life listening to rap, and about a month ago I heard my first Metallica song. I then dove right into so many different metal bands and I will never be able to go back. I simply just can’t enjoy (and don’t know how I ever did) rap anymore.
I've been watching your reaction vids for a while now...love your candor. Also love the fact that I seen you evolve into a true metal head. Metal (at least the better stuff) often has a message and isn't boxed in with a bunch of rules (other than it must rock/be good) and is often performed by fricken virtuoso's of their craft. - And therefore it's "refreshing" to those of us that "get it". - Metal welcomes everybody and does not discriminate.....something that most people are quite surprised to learn.....the people/fans are typically super chill and burn energy/aggression in the pit.....nothing like a good pit!
Listen to "A Tout le Monde." They have out two versions one from the album "Youthanasia" and the other is from the album "United Abominations" which features Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil. Both are great, the original version from "Youthanasia" is more melancholy. The remake with Cristina is more rocking and Dave sound awesome.
Dave Mustaine might not have a strong voice when it comes to singing but he makes up for it in his guitar playing. He is a much much better guitarist than Kirk Hammett.
Alex Alex Alex. Ice Nine Kills Dropped a new song for the Silver Scream 2. I won't spoil much. It's called Rainy Day. All I will tell you is that it's based on a videogame/movie series
I had the same problem with Dave Mustaine's voice when a started listening to Megadeth. I didn't like it and also thought that James Hetfield is a lot better. As time went by I still continued to listen to Megadeth because the guitars and rest of the band were very impressive. The first album I owned was Rust in Piece and it was amazing, but after I listened to Cryptic Writings I just couldn't get enough of Dave's voice, it just gets better and better every time I hear him perform. I think you just have to get used to it over time and once you do you will definitely change your mind about his vocals. By the way I am a huge Metallica fan and I like them both equally.
In My Darkest Hour or Wake Up Dead - those are my favorite Megadeth songs. After that, anything from Rust in Peace. Or really anything... Unlike Metallica - Dave has never strayed far from the original formula and it just works. I like the "different" Metallica albums (not counting Lulu), and I think their first 3 are definitely better overall than anything Megadeth has put out. But as far as consistency across their entire career - it's hard to beat Megadeth.
What is the NEXT Megadeth song I NEED to hear?! Drop some comments!!
Head Crusher
You should do kill the king
My Last Words
Dialect Chaos o Conquer or Die
Black Friday
Being a Metallica fan, you have to listen to ‘In My Darkest Hour’. As that song was written after hearing about Cliff Burton’s death.
Nice one Hayden.

Metal is the one true music. Nothing else comes close to bringing up the energy. It's a spiritual release.

I binge watch your videos when I can't sleep. Watching your videos helps me forget about my chronic pain. Thank you for making your videos.
Go with some deeper cuts, Alex! Everybody and their mother has reacted to "Peace Sells" and "Holy Wars"... You should seriously consider reacting to tunes like "Head Crusher", "FFF" or even "The Conjuring"
The conjuring is underrated. The first couple times I heard it I didn’t even like it. Now it’s one of my favorites
On a serious note, I have seen both Metallica and Megadeath in concert. Metallica Thanksgiving 1991 in KC and it blew my mind. I saw Megadeath in Wichita, KS around the same time on the Countdown to Extinction tour at a smaller venue. Both shows were equaly impressive. The Megadeath show they played Sweating Bullets. Dave Mustane started the first line of the song and the crowd took over and sang the rest of it, and he let them. At the end of the song he was genuinely honored and thanked the crowd. He was damn near in tears that some obscure city in Kansas knew his song so well they could sign it back to him. I will never forget it.
Side note: The opening band was STP when they had 1 song on the radio called Sex Type Thing. I remember going to the show thinking "Who the hell are they??" and being blown away at their performance and thinking they are going places!!!!
You haven't done Holy Wars? One of their Most Guitar Heavy songs they have. And catchy as Hell.
he has, he has a video where he reacts to the whole rust in peace album
I’m pretty sure Alex has already reacted to the whole Rust in Peace album
I thought so. I didn't feel like digging to find out. Thank you
Man, this must have been one of your first reactions, but, i´m glad that finally you react to this song, this is one of the songs that every metalhead know, its iconic, good reaction man, cheers
Definitely she wolf, such a good track
She wolf as a song was kinda boring, the rude awakening version was much much better
@@kratos6211 either she wolf or dystopia because the playing is insane
@@kratos6211 rude awakening is so much better yeah !
good song, but their older songs are better if he should react to more of Megadeth.
"I need instruments"......exactly brother, exactly 💯 🤘👊🤘
Alex, you're spot on about the bass in metal.
You should absolutely listen to "Souls of Black" by Testament. Amazing song and the bass line sets the entire tone.
Best testament album in my opinion is pratice what you preach.
He has listened to that song I believe but that is the only testament song so far that he has done. I’ve commented for a long time for testament I want him to revisit them for sure!
@@AviationMechanic3232 you're correct, he did. ABC's of Metal. Sadly he hasn't listened to any other Testament...
This is true, but let’s stay on topic here. MEGADETH!!!!!!!!!!
The rivalry stemmed from Mustain being angry when he was fired from Metallica before Kill 'Em All, he said Megadeth was his revenge, even some of the songs on Metallica's first to albums has Mustain in the writing credits, but I think they have mended their ways with The Big 4 tour
Mustaine friend.
Missed the best part
"What do you mean I'm not kind? Just not your kind"
Golden.
Darkest hour that brings both bands together due to it was written for cliff Burton.or Mary Jane to start with
80's/90's metal had a lot of social and political themes. People don't really catch that unless they pay attention to the lyrics. Nice that you talk about that.
a lot of us old metal heads grew up around NWA and such, but lived the 80s n 909s. MTV brought variety. i am very fortunate that i survived and learned all thru these decades of metal.
You want to hear the importance of bass in metal then take an Iron Maiden journey. Steve Harris baby! Great vid bro. Keep rollin!
I had the same epiphany as you about a year ago. I spent almost my whole life listening to rap, and about a month ago I heard my first Metallica song. I then dove right into so many different metal bands and I will never be able to go back. I simply just can’t enjoy (and don’t know how I ever did) rap anymore.
Alex please react to 'A TOUT LE MONDE' BY MEGADETH. PLEASE!
I've been watching your reaction vids for a while now...love your candor. Also love the fact that I seen you evolve into a true metal head. Metal (at least the better stuff) often has a message and isn't boxed in with a bunch of rules (other than it must rock/be good) and is often performed by fricken virtuoso's of their craft. - And therefore it's "refreshing" to those of us that "get it". - Metal welcomes everybody and does not discriminate.....something that most people are quite surprised to learn.....the people/fans are typically super chill and burn energy/aggression in the pit.....nothing like a good pit!
You should react to Conquer or die, incredible instrumental from their last album Dystopia (I'm metallica fan btw)
Live/real music, rock & heavy music in particular, is much more “moving” than it gets credit for.
Listen to "A Tout le Monde." They have out two versions one from the album "Youthanasia" and the other is from the album "United Abominations" which features Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil. Both are great, the original version from "Youthanasia" is more melancholy. The remake with Cristina is more rocking and Dave sound awesome.
That opening bass line will never not give me the chills. Such a great song.
Dave Mustaine might not have a strong voice when it comes to singing but he makes up for it in his guitar playing. He is a much much better guitarist than Kirk Hammett.
That’s a bold statement. But, it is true
And he wasn't afraid to hire guitarists that shredded faster than him! All for the music!
He may be better at technicality than kirk, but kirk takes the lead in producing more emotional solos in my opinion
@@dirtyburd71 100%, he even said Marty would walk circles on him. Dave could do both though, rhythm and lead.
SlAnd Marty Friedman is better than both of them.
Peace Sells (The album): Masterpiece!
Dude you need to listen to the ENDGAME album it is AWESOME!!
Headcrusher especially
Just saw them live tonight actually! This song live was amazing!
If you wanna hear a song with an amazing bass line you could listen "The pot" by Tool. I'm sure you'll love it
This is Megadeth’s best song and their breakthrough album. This put them on the map as a force to be reackoned with in Metal.
hey man, you should React to "She Wolf - Megadeth (live Rude Awakening) "... one of their most great live perfomance ever.
Alex Alex Alex. Ice Nine Kills Dropped a new song for the Silver Scream 2. I won't spoil much. It's called Rainy Day. All I will tell you is that it's based on a videogame/movie series
Weird. I could have sworn this reaction was already done lol
Mustaine>Hammett guitar skills
It's an unnecessary comparison, and absolutely incorrect.
Guitar skills no, kirks phrasing is better. Composing skills definitely
Wrong. DAVE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>kirk
This is so great! My favorite song.
Love that everyone is enjoying this type of music, feels like vindication;-)
Heavy Metal Rules!
Listen to some Dream Theater and Opeth. They are fuckin sick🤘
They suck
Hearing the whole crowd scream the chorus is one of the best parts of a Megadeth concert.Seen them 11 times and I can't wait to see them again.
I had the same problem with Dave Mustaine's voice when a started listening to Megadeth. I didn't like it and also thought that James Hetfield is a lot better. As time went by I still continued to listen to Megadeth because the guitars and rest of the band were very impressive. The first album I owned was Rust in Piece and it was amazing, but after I listened to Cryptic Writings I just couldn't get enough of Dave's voice, it just gets better and better every time I hear him perform. I think you just have to get used to it over time and once you do you will definitely change your mind about his vocals. By the way I am a huge Metallica fan and I like them both equally.
Heavy metal and the musicians that rip it out have substance. It is talent driven, and thats why it never dies, and never goes out of style.
In My Darkest Hour or Wake Up Dead - those are my favorite Megadeth songs. After that, anything from Rust in Peace. Or really anything... Unlike Metallica - Dave has never strayed far from the original formula and it just works. I like the "different" Metallica albums (not counting Lulu), and I think their first 3 are definitely better overall than anything Megadeth has put out. But as far as consistency across their entire career - it's hard to beat Megadeth.
LOL; let’s not forget “Risk”
I myself refuse to choose between Megadeth and Metallica. I love both of them.
