Megadeth's most overlooked track

- Is Megadeth's most overlooked track, "Lucretia?" We hear a lot about Dave Mustaine's epic tracks like, "Tornado Of Souls", "Holy Wars" and "Hanger 18." But Lucretia is a deep cut that shouldn't be ignored. It has some incredible licks and riffs that use cool ideas like modal interchange and odd time signatures. Is this proof he's a better song writer than Metallica's James Hetfield? Grab a copy of my music theory course below to get on Dave Mustaine's level.

Megadeth's most overlooked track, by far, is My Last Words. Truly phenomenal track.
Abso-fucking-lutely agree. A damn near incomparable track forsure.
Completely agree. Something about that song makes it incomparable to the rest of peace sells
My Last Words is in a dead heat for my favorite Megadeth track alongside The Conjuring.
YES YES YES!!! I love that song inside out. Such an underrated gem. Amazing guitar, killer bass riff, Gars’ bangin’ drums, badass lyrics. Perfection
daves greatest solo, great way to end an album
I sometimes wonder if in the middle of some Megadeth songs Dave wonders, "Why the hell did I make this so complicated? " ;)
Dude!!! Love your channel man! Hahaha. How has this comment not blown up??
"What drugs was I on?"
Nah, at this point he can probably play the songs in his sleep. He's played the songs so much it's all just muscle memory now, so he doesn't have to think about what he's playing, his hands just do the work for him.
I bet he thinks about Metallica during those parts. F em' All
Hook in Mouth is a master class in arrangement. One of their best for sure.
One of my favorites
Good Mourning Black Friday also is a Master Class. Chris Polands intro solo is a Masterpiece!
set the world afire is definitely underrated, super catchy riffs, the definition of thrash metal
@@ResubidorSerial yes the best it is
So far so good so what is a fantastic album and criminally underrated
Lucretia is my favorite song off Rust in Peace. I don’t hear it talked about enough. Marty’s solo playing directly into Dave’s is one of my favorite handoffs in music. Absolutely phenomenal.
Bro this song is definitely a little overlooked. My favorite solo for sure, and the rythm under the solo is godly!
My favorite song and solo on there too!
yes I agree brother!!! Lucretia is my favourite song and I love playing it, but the solo is a bit hard for me 🤘 it's a masterpiece 🤘
You'll like the solos in victory from youthanasia then
@@valentinotoscano3944 that's my favorite album! Blood of Heroes is my favorite song.
Megadeth has way too many overlooked tracks. Some of my favorite songs from them are You’re Dead, 1320’, The World Needs a Hero, Deadly Nightshade, The Right To Go Insane, and Fatal Illusion.
Uhhh, i was thinking about 1320' to, epic riffs and really fun to play
I don't know about "you're dead." I've tried but I don't really like it
No one ever talks about The Disintegrators, Black Curtains, or the whole Youthanasia album at all really. It's honestly probably one of my favorites.
You're dead is an amazing song
The Right to go Insane and Fatal Illusion are kickass. Also Death from Within.
I think Megadeth's most overlooked track is Ashes In Your Mouth. Killer song!
Hell yes. Best song on Countdown.
Yes. And the duel lead is the icing on the cake
Ashes in your mouth is the best thrash song but nobody talks about it
Rust in peace and ashes are their 2 best songs no doubt
One of my top for sure. The breakdown and solo section is incredible.
I really like “the poison was the cure” on Rust In Peace. It’s got that wicked fast octane feeling that lots of Megadeth songs have and that’s why I like it. Definitely underrated.
It would have been right at home on Killing is my Business.
It's been a long time since I've wanted to hear the pver rated holy wars , hangar or tornado .
poison , prisoners and 5 magics still hit hard
@@ronpaul1082 TAKE NO PRISONERS!
@@TheDrugFreeThrasher TAKE NO SHIT
@@TheDrugFreeThrasher TAKE NO ....
SHHIIITTTT !
Lucretia is amazing. It may be overlooked by some, but not by me.
My favorite track on this masterpiece of an album behind Five Magics. Although I love the music, the lyrics on this song are pure genius.
I like the part where he was like gimme wizardry, master all of these. Really cool lyrics and a great song.
The whole Album is a masterpiece;-) but the intro on that track is amazing
Masterpiece indeed! All the songs are masterpieces....one hit after another....even dawn patrol just sits in perfectly... cool and weird song with that bass line...then finishes of with Polaris.
So good
Marty's solos are literally Five Magics! The fifth solo is like nothing I've ever heard... melodic weirdness... pure genius!
Definitely my favorite too. Inspired by the novel Master Of Five Magics
Architecture of Aggression is highly under-rated.
Agree too , I think is as good as symphony of destruction
"this was my life" is one of the many overlooked megadeth's songs
and family tree
Yeah,masterpiece songwriting. Lyrics,composing. But unfortunately it is not appreciated enough. Like many great Megadeth songs.
@@diegolezica3498 Absolutely.Youthanasia is an excellent album from start to finish.
I couldn't agree more. It's one of their best songs.
This song was my first accomplishment getting to know Dave. Still difficult Tom play it with his finesse. Daves riffs crush on this one.
I like that Dave has always made it a point to have another guitarist who is better than him. And he's not bad at metal lead guitar at all, but he really put the band before his ego in this case.
Kinda sorta saying a lot
Better lead players, yes. None of them are on his level in rhythm guitar or songwriting, of course.
Dave has never believed anybody except Friedmann was better than him. And the fact Friedmann was better than him depressed him.
Marty Friedman ruined megadeth he's not better than Dave Mustaine. Have you heard Marty's solo stuff it's trash compared to megadeth I don't know how people think he's better.
@@robrich634 Dave Mustaine says in his autobiography that Marty was better than him. Also, being a better guitarist doesn't mean you write 'better' songs.
Reading the title of this video I thought to myself, "Please be Lucertia!" I'm so glad you are doing this video. The solo in this gets me every time.
Yeah i thought the same
“Good mourning/Black Friday” one of the most overlooked track of Megadeth !!
Best intro to any song ever written
Rust in Peace (song) deserves so much more love. It's got such unique features exquisitely blended in, it's truly a masterpiece.
Definitely agree with you, that lead up to the chorus is epic! And oh boy is that riff so fun to play! 🤘
@@OldMate666_ yeah, verse has a sense of musical irony and you can vibe to it, almost dance. Then goes the jazzy part with harmony which is even more like that, then super heavy shit and finally just goes for it in the chorus. Amazing sequence. And as a drummer all of it is super fun to play, including the fast thrash second half
Launch the Polaris!🤘
Only problem is the lack of solos 😢
One of my favorite tracks on Rust in Peace is still Take No Prisoners. God, that track slaps and is both fun and difficult to play.
Gwaht wun chyance!!!!
Five magics has like 7 killer songs within it. That’s my pick
"Rust in Peace" was the shit for me, my brother & friends. I was a junior in high school. Good friend of mine we would hang out play guitar all the time. I bought the sheet music/tabs to the album. Learned it all except for mostly all the Solos. Was years later before I could touch on that portion of the record. But "Lucretia" loved it. Don't remember learning the song but still play it often to this day. Takes soom work to get it down. I still often Wonder how i was able to learn & play it back then. But since I was young when I learned the song I
I still remember how to play. Unlike something I learned last month. I must keep figuring a song out at 47. Amazing song, killer album.
Love that you're covering this song, it's one of my fav all timers. This and the solo through Light My Fire by The Doors are almost hypnotic to my ears.
Every Megadeth song is fire
Architecture of Aggression. Never gets a mention from anywhere. It's by far their heaviest riff and complete Ripsaw riffing 🤘🤘
Their most overlooked song is Crush Em, and rightfully so.
"The Disintegrators" - maybe not that virtuoso, but a track of pure energy.
fuck yeah!
How the story ends is pretty sick too
The one song I never hear mention of, not from Rust in Peace, is Good Mourning/Black Friday. An absolute masterpiece!
its so underrated, no one ever seems to talk about it
I absolutely love "Vortex", catches my ear every time I hear it on shuffle.
"Internal combustion..." - SAME!
Another commenter said it better than I could: "It may be overlooked by some, but not by me." Is it their MOST overlooked song? Possibly. But I would highly recommend taking a look at Looking Down the Cross as a possible rival to that claim.
Looking Down the Cross is my favorite. 🤘🤘
@@brianbowyer1805 🤘
Looking down the cross , Black Friday , Set the world afire
Top 3 megadeth
Good Mourning/Black Friday. The intro, the verse riff, that breakdown!
It can’t be Megadeth’s most overlooked track if it’s on Rust in Peace.
Lucretia is such a sick track. Perfect tempo, riffs, solos. It has it all
my favorite megadeth solo has to be lucretia it’s absolutely beautiful
Prob my fav Marty solo, also Dave’s riff under the solo is incredible
Finally, a fellow Lucretia enjoyer
It's kicks fucking ass
Yes finally! One of my fav megadeth songs. This ones solo rivals tornado’s in my opinion
Another Megadeth song which gets no love is 'FFF" off "Cryptic Writings". When I first heard the song in 1997, my first thought was how is reminded me of 'Motorbreath' off "Kill Em All". But is was Marty's solo at the end which sealed 'FFF' as one of my two favorite songs off the album. I also believe it is one of Marty's best solos in Megadeth.
The song that got me into Megadeth was "In My Darkest Hour." Maybe I'm just an overgrown edgelord (lol), but I always assumed this was THE Megadeth track. Yet, I never hear anyone talk about it. I guess it's not a very technical song, but am I alone in putting this in at least the top 5 all time Megadeth songs?
Agreed, that and Mary Jane two killer tracks, but we all know there are so many, across the whole discography.
Unbelievably talented musician.
Couldn't agree more. It sounds masterful to me.
Devils Island was one my faves because the verses sounds punk rock.
@@E.C.2 yeah, that opening is badass; sounds like demons preparing for world war.
Honestly, the title track of Youthanasia is a criminally underrated masterpiece. And a close second to that would be Family Tree.
I personally believe Devils Island is the most overlooked or Liar. They were great songs shadowed by other great songs on great albums.
I've always thought of liar as the prototype for Skin o my Teeth
Liar is absolutely god-like.
There are so many... The Skull Beneath... Black Friday... Set the World... Take no prisoners... Ashes in your mouth... killing road... disintigrators... prince of darkness... blackmail the universe... kick the chair... 🤣🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Just subscribed - I love anyone who reacts to this song. It's such a masterpiece!
Oh Lucretia is a masterpiece.
Plus the Italy version is another level because of the louder bass in the mix.
Just the intro gets me everytime.
I think their most overlooked song is Mary Jane.
Absolutely agreed. It’s a jam
I love "Mary Jane" 🤘🕯️
Best deep cuts per album (first 4) are probably - Looking Down the Cross, The Conjuring, Mary Jane and Lucretia.
In my opinion on the guitar solos side of things I think Lucretia is better as well, but the real underrated Marty Friedman solos are in his solo albums which for some reason not many people talk about
Definitely! His solo albums have so much amazing guitar on them that you cant just simply say "listen to this song" because there are amazing moments sprinkled throughout. Whether it be a great melodic solo, or a great transition, or great layering and harmonies etc. His solo stuff is amazing. Worth going back to Dragons kiss and working through all of them.
Thank you for covering Lucretia, Shred! I've thought it's one of Megadeth's top 10 songs easily ever since I first picked up an axe as a tean and tried to learn to chop the treble clef in half with it (am still learning, back to it with a focus on technique finally after a decade+ away from the instrument once kids and work really "took off" 😅). Lucretia really highlights Megadeth's intimate knowledge of combining killer guitar riffs in interesting and intelligent ways. 🤘🏼
Here’s an overlooked gem on the 1995 aptly titled “HIDDEN TREASURES” (BREAKPOINT) 👍 🤘😈🤘 ENJOY DEMONS
Many years ago I attended a guitar clinic by Marty Friedman in London when he was still in Megadeth. He was getting people to shout out solos and he would play them and also took questions. I shouted out for him to play Lucretia, to which he responded, "Ah, my favorite!". He then proceeded to absolutely shred an extended version of the Lucretia solo with added Marty-Style flourishes. It was quite simply spell-binding, magical and I will never forget it.
Lucretia is a stunning song and is definitely overlooked.
Good mourning back Friday is seriously underrated for me. Gives me a nosebleed everytime hearing that 2nd half of the track 🤘
That Friedman solo for some reason has so much emotion it actually swells something up inside of me I can't really explain. I also have a bit of a connection to the ghostly theme of this song as I've had my own ghost encounters in the past.
Hook in Mouth, In My Darkest Hour, both contenders. I really like Looking Down The Cross! Never hear that one mentioned. For Rust, it would be Five Magics for sure!
Poison/Lucretia/Tornado is probably my favorite trio of songs on any album. Muah! Pure fucking gold!
Architecture of aggression is great too
Good Mourning Black Friday deserves more recognition for sure!
Great Video Shred,,, his song writing has always been amazing,, even when he colors outside the lines.
I love everytime how Dave adds a new dimension when it comes to soloing, yes it's mostly pentatonic, chromatic notes but still it gives a whole new feeling to the song 🤘🤘🤘
Peace Sells but Who's Buying from Devil's Island to My Last Words (even I ain't supersticious) is a masterpiece.
Man, finally I agree with you 100%. Great song and the best Marty Friedman's solo ever - period.
This solo and ashes in your mouth are my favorite solos to play. So damn beautiful......
definitely think this is one of Megadeths more overlooked tracks, thanks for picking this song apart! The opening to this song is my favorite opening to any Megadeth song actually as well. I used to listen to it over and over again when I was a kid hahaha. Absolute masterful songwriting, and great memorable solos. Definitely one of my top 5 Megadeth songs, and one of the best from the absolutely legendary Rust In Peace. Every single song on this album is awesome.
even dawn patrol
Damn, this live performance is better than the Studio record
Ive been learning to play "take no prisoners" from Rust In Peace and its a great thrash metal song. I often think it gets overlooked.
Dude this has always been my favorite track off the album, I'm glad you made this video.
I bloody knew it'd be Lucretia! Great track you legend Shred!
Going into that first verse after the intro is just so epic!
I knew it was lucretia before I clicked, I cherish this song! Good work my friend!
My favorite underrated Megadeth song is Kick the Chair. The System Has Failed has some good bangers.
I knew this song had a great solo before, but holy sh*t it's overlooked. The riffs are awesome, the theory is entertaining, and the performance was just phenomenal! I think this, Addicted to Chaos, and Blood of Heroes are overlooked. Great video!
Good mourning Black Friday
Absolutely amazing song. I personally think their best composed songs come off of so far so good.
Set the world afire, hook in mouth, 1000 times goodbye, crown of worms, and I’ll get even are also overlooked 🤘
dude, the answer is emphatically "yes!", and I always knew it and thought it WAS the most underrated and a very bright number, so I was delighted to stumble upon your video with that very pertinent title, which turned out to be ABOUT LUCRETIA!
When I first listened to Rust in Peace Lucretia blown my mind. It's my favorite because the intro is so Jazz in disguise. I always blast my speakers when that track is next.
Good Mourning/Black Friday, would be my pick
Actually, Marty's solo on the Lucretia is very unique and fun to play. The timing and vibe is just amazing..
Dread and the fugitive mind 😈
Great show. During their performance of Hanger 18 you see Dimebag Darrell Abbot in the back watching.
Learning this song currently
Dance in the rain... UNDERRATED AF
Lucretia is probably my favorite megadeth track. Cool to see it featured like that!
Good mourning black friday takes the take.
"It just costs you your soul...."
I Love this song. I absolutely love this whole album. And I found it by accident. Back in the fall of 1990, I was really into AC DC. I went out to the local Zellers store, bought the AC DC album Flick of the Switch. But, when I got the cassette tape home, put it in the player and it wasn't AC DC at all. It was RUST IN PEACE album. I didn't even know who it was for a few months, despite showing the album to a few people. It was probably into the spring of 1991 when I was able to confirm what band it was. When I listened to Dawn Patrol, I actually thought the singer could be British LoL 😂.
Anyway, greatest thing to have happened. It was unlike anything I've ever heard before and I was hooked.
Take care from Miramichi.
Daves vocals have always been very limited but in this song he's very creative with he's singing patterns.. Dave's solo are always sour and chromatic which is why Marty was a great opposition to him. One of my favorite megadeth songs. Thank you.
That live performance is so on point it's scary.
Bad omen, rust in piece... Polaris, addicted to chaos, killing is my business and business is good, Mary Jane, disconnect, last rites .. Loved to death, the list can go on , but if I had to choose only one, I would say bad omen. The song has an unique groovy, dark and funky simultaneously riff, combined with some of the most unbelievable drums recorded, plus the killer intro. I seriously don't know why it isn't more popular.
Epic!!!! Got my tickets!!!! Megadeth Brandon MS 2022 April 16th!
My all time favourite solo is the lucretia solo. And The riff in the verse OMG its soooo cool
Really cool arpeggiated chordal stuff in this song.

Your knowledge of music theory is extremely impressive . You have a certain way of breaking down songs with perfect execution. SHRED you're the man
Ashes in your Mouth and Go to Hell are some of my favorite "deep cuts" from Megadeth that don't get talked about much.
Hook in Mouth.
That thing thumps your guts in live. Has been my fave track for like, over 30 years.
I always thought people don't talk about this song enough it's one of my favorites another cool one is psychotron
Lucretia is the greatest jazz metal piece ever written.
I think that first solo from Marty has been my favorite guitar solo since I first heard this album. both solos blew my mind when I heard them
however, I consider this song and Tornado of Souls to be the same song, I usually listen to them back to back if I'm not just playing the whole album. if Lucretia pauses at the very end, I can still hear the intro to Tornado of Souls in the exact key playing in my head
sort of like whenever I hear the end of Stairway to Heaven I get Misty Mountain Hop stuck in my head
Such a good review I've always felt this song is about safespace.
I absolutely love Chosen Ones! Oh and I just remembered my other favorite underrated song, Poison Was the Cure
I love Lucretia, that opening riff is so awesome
Dread and the Fugitive Mind is one of my favorites and doesn’t get enough play. Goes hard
Lucretia been my fav track since i first heard it im quite surprised its not majorly talked about
