My favorite Megadeth song. I'm kind of embarrassed to say my son told me, hey Dad I have a friend at school his name is Justis and his dad Dave Mustaine is a rockstar I had no idea who he was. Justis spent a lot of time over at our house playing music with my son and Dave and his wife Pam came over a couple times and they're very down-to-earth and super nice people. Dave is a very intelligent guy.
Wait what! Haha!
That’s crazyyyy
That's nuts
Noooo fricking waaayyyy
@jacktheus2265 yep Michael and Justis went to Linfield here in Temecula CA. Dave is just a regular and cool dude
" I jammed with Marty while we were on tour together" Just that line alone causes me some of the greatest envy I have known. You are legend.
With whom?
@Ege Şengezer He obviously didn't watch the video
Yeah, I can't decide who I envy more; RIck for getting to jam with Marty, or Marty for getting to jam with Rick. I think it's a tie.
Dystopia Plus I have a 45 minute interview with Marty on my channel. I have been friends and worked with him on other projects for 20 years. Those are facts. You think that me stating a fact is bragging? Should I say that I’ve been friends with Marty for 20 years but don’t really know him? We are working on another video together idiot. I don’t know about Warren but when I say I know someone, they are longtime friends not someone I’ve met once.
@Rick Beato - I think that was meant in a tongue-in-cheek manner. I can understand being fed up with the ridiculous cynicism, but anyone with enough sense to follow your videos should be expected to know that you're not really throwing stuff out there as some sort of obnoxious brag, and likely aren't serious if they make reference to it. Personally, though, I'd probably brag about it. ;)
Can't not hear "Meg-a-deth" along with the riff every time I hear it since that's what the crowd always does live. :) Thanks for covering a Megadeth tune.
Oh hey man love your channel
Megadeth, megadeth, aguante megadeth
I can't unhear it lmao.
argentina papa, corrupción, fiscales muertos, pasion y mate
Me and my friend once got the crowd to chant that between the close of the set and the encore at a Megadeth show, the whole building was loud.
David Ellefson’s bass was one of the things that always set Megadeth apart, to me. He didn’t just double the guitar riffs. His creative walking bass lines made the songs that much more interesting...and the fact that the albums were mixed so that the bass was audible!
Especially where it's the lead instrument like in hook in mouth, amazing bassist
YES I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID
I mean except one of the reasons Megadeth is so good is because he's doubling Mustaine's crazy rhythms when most thrash bassists just slam the root
@@zDialecticChaos he's an okay bassist given how huge the band is
TheHonestTerrorist what does that even mean?
"let's listen to the drums by themselves" my brain "Nick! NICK!!!"
Oh yeah. At the end of their Paranoid cover. HA HA!
Glad it wasnt just me. Lol
Jake Sli it’s the best part of the paranoid cover
I wish I could but it's too late.
RIP to one of the greats.
Dave mustaine and Megadeth are criminally underrated in my opinion. One of the few metal bands to stay true throughout the whole discography. Also through many lineup changes. The testament to Dave's greatness.
Yea been listening to Megadeth since the 90’s. I don’t listen to much metal now a days only mainly Megadeth. To me Youthanasia is a Masterpiece.
Yeah Megadeth is absolutely one of the best if not the best. My fav for sure.
the new album is crazy good too
This solo has always been quintessential Marty to me. So lovely, so hard, so fluid, so perfect.
7:26 - "There's a big gap in the vocals."
7:32 - Dang, he wasn't kidding.
I was waiting for my assistant Billy to sit down after he started the camera. I like the space :)
@@RickBeato Intense listening to Dave Mustaine not singing...
@@RickBeato eheheh! like the gap!
Kinda sounds like Megadeth song.
6 SECONDS OF SILENCE
Lol
LOVE the fact that you didn’t use the remastered version
Good point dude. I'm not a fan of the remastered stuff, in general. On that note (no pun intended) today's modern metal is way overprocessed and over-polished...ugh! Sure, you want the mix to sound good, but there's a 'rawness' to metal that we also want.
Jason Stallworth most definitely agree
Y'know, I thought I was a bit weird but someone else likes the pre-remastered too - I find the modern versions always a little "Dettol Wipes" and it is the only way I can describe that.
A few years ago I bought a second copy of the original Countdown to Extinction CD just because I hate the idea that someday the ghastly 2004 remix could be the only version available. That's how much I despise the remixes :D
Too much mid range in the remaster. Sounds like it's coming out of a can.
You need to do "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due".
@@LBNMKRS just to analyse the intro
@@LBNMKRS I'm all for that! :)
Imo no megadeth album is better than Rust in Peace!
I have an hour
Nah id rather see some peace sells stuff. Gars drumming was insanely sexy.
Been listening to this song for the last twenty five years and never heard that special effects track...till today.
Somewhere there's a sort of industrial remix of it, and that part is really up front. Until now I thought that effect was only in the remix.....so cool
The "Gristle Mix" came out on a CD single release. Trent Reznor did the remix. I think there were a couple other versions of the song on the CD too.
@Adrain Serrano
Bass part over the chorus guitars is brilliant. It’s stuff like that that made me a bass player. The guitar part is already beautiful, but that walking bass motion up while the guitars have chromatic motion down is just, 👌👌👌👌. It makes the whole section IMO. Keeps a “pretty” part rockin while also adding more motion and color. And it’s not too much. Perfect.
Please do one on Tornado of Souls! Marty’s one take solo is timeless and one of his best!!!
Dude.. yesterday you brought us Metallica, today Megadeth... man! Great times... great times.
Thanks Rick!
Metallica absolute garbage
lets just agree megadeth is the best of the two....
let's agree both bands are freaking amazing! Metallica is slightly better though
@@klossner7205 elitist...
@@lonely_adolescent2715 not
My favorite Megadeth song, I’m 65 and still rock hard, my 21 year old son loves Deth & Pantera
Growing up in the 80s listening to punk rock and thrash metal made me really appreciate this record even more because of it’s insanely huge drum and bass engineering. It was the first heavy record that sounded MASSIVE on my car stereo.
Dave Ellefson's intro bassline on Peace Sells gets me everytime.
Only reason I didn't change channel during mtv news
It was written by Dave mustaine and not ellefson.
@@indranilsingh2682 True, but it was Ellefson who played the riff in the recording...
@@episodebeats2817 well that's true, sorry if I came off as rude, all that matters is that Megadeth is a sick band! \m/
@@indranilsingh2682so its still ellefsons base line?
"Acting like a robot, Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse, Before the head explodes...."
THE definitive Megadeth song!! Brilliant breakdown Rick. Thank you!
RIP Nick Menza. Amazing groove and syncopated accents on this tune.
In 97 I got to see Vic and the rattleheads (aka Megadeth) at this tiny club called "The Electric Ballroom" in Phx, Az and when they played Symphony I thought the club was going to split at the seams. I think this was a warm up show for the Cryptic writings tour. So badass to see Dave & Dave, Marty and Nick all on stage together at the same time (by far the best Megadeth lineup ever).
i saw them at the Electric Ballroom in knoxville in 08 or so. it was awesome!
The best chorus writer in metal history. Even on some lesser known tracks like Family Tree, the chorus is always mindblowing.
Or Elysian Fields
Youthanasia was my favorite album. Family Tree was the reason I became a fan of Megadeth.
He truly does write great choruses. His melodies are so good.
"If there's a New Way? I'll be first in line"
@@dylanadams1455 Peace Sells, the day I discovered Megadeth!! 😭 I was late though, heard it only in 2001.
So cool that you and Marty are friends
He's always been one of my favorites.... the work he did with Dave, Dave and Nick was pure magic
Love those megadeth days
I love the opening lyrics to this song. "You take a mortal man. And put him in control." So kewl to me. It's a precursor for disaster . You take imperfection (mortal man) and give him power.(control) A disaster waiting to happen. Very well written.
Three part harmony & three-part mixed metaphor... excellent 👌
They should redo the lyrics for a contemporary version. You take a senile man and put him in control
"World powers fall". Always thought that line was cool.
@@joepharmasst Absolutely! Trump was a disaster & Biden’s not much better.
@@augustmoon0004 $2 gas low unemployment order at the border and no wars? That's chaos?
Rick Beato's content is a blessing. I can watch his videos and learn about music I dont usually listen and I love the way he explains things so that even non fans and non musicians can appreciate it.
Brilliant!!!! My favorite band of all time. This demonstrates how leaps ahead Megadeth (of this era) was, MUSICALLY from their competitors. So much of this was due to Marty's influence, no doubt. Who the hell dislikes this? Camaaaan! Keep up the stellar work dude!
Only things you missed (I think): a) how Ellefson's bass under the repeated guitar riff creates the chord progression of the pre-chorus: E-G-C-A-D and then the chromatic thing; b) how Menza switches to half-time (one of his specialties) in the back halves of the second two choruses.
never mind, you did touch the half-time
It seems a lot of your viewers love your metal "what makes this song great" videos. The crowd wants more metal Rick.
That lineup is probably the most talented lineup in metal, ever.
Smoking! Great job Rick! RIP Nick Menza, underrated to this day.
Nick was awesome
Unfortunately he chose to do meth which messed with his brain.
There's a video where he's showcasing some cymbals (probably one of the last videos he recorded) where you can clearly see that he's completely out of it.
André Silva yes I remember seeing that .. he was endorsing Soul tone cymbals at the time .. he was a hot mess.. but Dave mustaines son put up a video of a secret drummer that was auditioning and it was Nick behind the kit .. but unfortunately.. because of money Nick never got the chance to rejoin the band .
@@andresilvasophisma and in a couple of those videos, (which got flagged for copyright) he was covering a couple Megadeth tunes. And he nailed them!
Not bad for being out of the band for like 15+ years at that point.
From production, sound effects, modes, chords, moods and the breaking down licks damn what more could a musician ask for. Rick the all-in-one musictionary.
7:33..........That moment of awkward silence when you can’t even look each other in the eye.
hahaha think he just forgot to cut the vid from one take to another. Rick is awesome!
Yes. That was weird.
Great analysis.
Timeless Metal Masterpiece. As simple as that. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due will require a one hour video xD
True lol, Hanger 18 about 2 hours to attempt to break down all the solos in that one as well lol
Mustaine is a great songwriter and IMO one if the best metal guitar players out there... His riffs are insane!
Absolutely the best. And he sings too.
Exactly. Playing holy wars is not very complicated once you get it down. But that madlad sings over it. Mad respect.
Mustaine is an awesome riff master.
@@skin_e_guy what about poison was cure :D
@@robertciaschini7625 another planet
Rick your Knowledge of music and theory is absolutely astonishing. I am so happy I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago, and I have been obsessed ever since. I was so happy to see how much content you have and I am currently on a marathon to watch all of the "what makes this song great" playlist, then I look forward to hopping onto the other playlists. God bless you for all the effort and time you put into these extremely in depth breakdowns brother. Keep it up cause we all appreciate the dedication and content!
Symphony Of Destruction's the very first Megadeth song that I've listened. Since then I've been listening to a lot of Megadeth songs.
I’m pretty sure Symphony was my introduction to Megadeth as well. Tornado of Souls was a close second. I’m a thrash-head, and I’d say Megadeth is my 2nd favourite musically,, although I respect the band more than my favourite thrash band. I just love that Dave has never stopped working; always touring and always making music.
My introduction song was Tornado of Souls
Almost every song Megadeth write is headbangable. Even a toned down album like Risk had headbangable songs. Brilliant composition on every album and there are not enough words to describe Mustaine's killer rhythm skills
Me: Listen metal song
My neck: Ah shit, here we go again.
lool
Listen metal song... what does that mean
@@ravingrabbidnate1480 You know exactly what that means. Don't be a dick
Wait until you do it at age 54. I'm stiff for a month!
🤣RIP
Great break down. The solo that really slayed me was Tornado of Souls. I know it’s borderline heresy for some, but that solo is the Stairway to Heaven solo of thrash metal. I’d Love hear Rick pick that one apart. Just genius.
Agree. I learned tornado of souls and symphony of destruction solo. Tornado took me about 4 weeks. Symphony was about 2 . They both sound great but there was some special stuff in tornado of souls that make you rethink your playing. 🤘🏼
Marty Friedman is lightyears ahead of all metal guitarists. His approach to melody is unmatched and any musician can and should learn from his phrasing
@@ryadachaibou8098 I’m actually really glad Mustaine was fired from Metallica. Megadeth brought a sense of progressive architecture to thrash metal song writing than no other band did, and Metallica never would have allowed, I don’t think. The Mustaine/Friedman duo was light years ahead of the music scene, even by today’s standards. The perfect soundtrack of a dystopian future.
I haven't actually listened to Megadeth for over a decade, this vid made me totally wanna go put an album on straight after, but before I got to that point and put an album on I was reading comments. This one made me go straight to ToS, as it sparked the reminder in me and was totally correct. 🤘🏻 One of the greatest of the whole era, and although I'd forgotten I knew from my teenage years it was a corker.... correct!!!
The intro gives me chills..brilliant
I could listen to only the drums and hear everything else in my head. Wore that tape out 2 times.
The *countdown to extinction* album is 10/10
That makes Rust in Peace 12/10
Honest question here from someone who is new to megadeth, is the “so far so good so what” album really that disliked? because I barely hear fans talking about it
@@danielalmeida7382 There's some good stuff on it, but it's not as solid from start to finish as any of their classic albums. They were doing so many drugs at the time it very clearly affected the songwriting in a negative way & half the album just feels kind of thrown together.
@@danielalmeida7382 it’s not disliked but it’s not liked as much as others. Prob the worst of the first six albums
@@jacksonknowlton8478 wait even worse than youthnasia?
Would have preferred Holy Wars, but this is just as awesome!
@@cotoxs123 That's because the more popular the song, the more there is of what makes it great. Of course that's not always true, but deeper cuts are too subjective. Obviously there's something about these songs that reaches a lot of people. And in this one it's the verse groove and hook-ey chorus. And the production. Notice you won't find any unpopular songs by a band on "what makes this song great". .
@@mattmarkus4868 I'm sorry, but 'Holy Wars...The Punishment Due' is NOT a 'deeper cut'. Literally everyone who claims to have listened to Megadeth at some point in their lives knows about Holy Wars, so its as popular and pivotal as Symphony, if not more ( Just like Sandman vs Puppets for Metallica ). That song represents and sums up what Megadeth is best acclaimed for 1000X more than Symphony Of Destruction.
@@sainandanramakrishnan4812 This is the only song I've ever heard by them because it was on the radio and MTV, and I can bet there are others like me . Actually, I've heard songs from the album they did with Vinnie Colaiuta, but that's because I'm nuts about drums. I'm not a big fan so it makes sense this is the only song I know.
I'm not even really what you'd call a Megadeth fan at all because I just can't get into Dave's vocals but I think Hangar 18 is a really cool song. My buddy is a HUGE Megadeth fan though. I guess of the somewhat "80's metal" bands I might like Queensryche the most and think Empire and Jet City Woman are really cool songs.
@@mattmarkus4868 Well, then you missed out on most of the masterpieces that these American metal bands from the 80s ( Megadeth, Metallica etc. ) put out, as none of them were on the 'radio'. The only indigenous 'metal' bands that were household names in the 80s and got significant MTV time were the glam guys in LA.
Did you ever stumble upon their song 'Peace Sells' that used to be the bass intro to MTV News for the longest time ?
I have no musical ability, so I dunno if these videos help those who do, but if I hear a song and think "yeah, that's awesome", I come here and usually find Rick has covered it in WMTSG. Thanks man, this series is a rare case of seeing how the sausage made just makes it taste better ;-) Cheers
It took me 18 months to play this solo up to tempo...lol. The problem was learning something where the fingerings for left hand were so different from what felt natural for me. This solo was the one that got me to realise you must play other peoples songs and guitar parts if you are going to progress as a guitar player. These days I learn lines from classical music and through this and Marty's playing I have forced myself way out of my comfort zone into fresh new ideas going from Bach to late 20th century stuff also.
This is the genius of RIck's series. I have loved this song since the first time I've heard, it. I still love it. After watching this video, I love it even more and appreciate it in a way I never have.
"I opened for Megadeth for 5 weeks; and oh, Dave... I was the guy on the bus jammin' with Marty." 😂🤣😂🤣😂
How many of you can say your favourite instructor pulled a rabbit out of his ass like that, and was able to keep it white? I knew I'd like this guy even more as soon as I started this vid.
Im stealing the rabbit line!! LOL
OUTSIDURRR Fuck yeah.....me too dude. That made me laugh so hard. Cheers bro.
Nick +Marty file the void oh so well it will never happen again unfortunately
Yeah, My Jaw Dropped when he just Casually dropped that one lol
It was a gerbil, not a rabbit
Marty is an amazing guitar player, but Rick's no slouch either :P
They're both low-key douchebags that have a lot to offer, it makes sense they get along.
@@orangecarbad8892 How do you know both are douchebags? You have met them, I suppose
@@orangecarbad8892 People like you reveal a lot more about yourself than the people you claim are "douchebags", such irony.
@@Supertaldo916 Lots of triggered buttercups. Why can't you appreciate Marty's music and Rick's content without lying to yourself? Douchebags can also be talented.
@@orangecarbad8892 Big stretch for you to assume I'm butthurt over your comment. I couldn't care less about someone attacking a person I do not know on the internet. I just don't see how you would get the impression that rick is a douchebag unless you had proof or personally knew the guy.
p.s.: I'll be the first to admit that Dave Mustaine, or Axl Rose, or many other artist I like are huge pieces of shit.
Dave Mustain is a musical genius. Period. Great analysis Rick. My theory is so bad. Thanks for the teaching.
This line-up of Megadeth was so good. So glad I saw them for my very first concert. Great song, great review!
It’s incredibly amazing when he solo’s the instruments to hear how well each track just stands for itself, man that is what we could call killer-production skills! Very good guitar tone from rick as well!
Rick, I would love to see a video on the evolution of recording. Like the early days of recording and how it evevolved into modern recording. And maybe why it sounded the way it did at certain eras.
Binge watching this channel now, I've learned more about music from Rick in a year than all years prior, he makes music fun and his excitement is infectious. Thanks Mr. Beato.
You're friends with Marty Friedman and opened for Megadeth in 1999!! How cool is that?! ❤ Love you, Rick!!
Love this breakdown of Symphony. Would love to see one on Hangar 18!
It's amazing when after years of being a Megadeth fan I discover more of the brilliantnesses from Marty. Thank you Rick
The logical next step would be to analyze the guy who Dave Mustane has asked to join Megadeth 2 times: Jeff Waters of Annihilator. Definately some song from the Never, Neverland album. I suggest either the title track (a part of what makes the song great is the cryptic lyrics based on a true story)or the Fun Palace, both nothing short of masterpieces of music. The scales, rhythm phrasing, the changes and dynamics etc. give multitudes to analyze and of course the technicality is superb.
Though it deserves the attention it is one of the most commercially underrated musical projects in metal history.
Spot on
Hell yes, that would be perfect!
Agree. Annihilator is the Iron Butterfly of thrash metal ;)
Favorite quote that I’ll likely use in a non-musical context at some juncture: “...it makes the low end bloom.”
Hey Rick, I'm sure someone's asked before somewhere, but how are you getting the separate tracks? Are the bands/labels providing them for educational use? Your use of track solos and mutes is one of the best parts of these videos.
No way the labels would be giving them out for free, they couldn't care less about educational use or anything else other than the bottom line. He's finding them online, like through rips of Guitar Hero tracks and the like.
He’s got legit producer hook ups as well for stems
When he plays the solo parts, you can still hear the other parts of the song. It sounds like he is able to turn down the volume of certain frequencies/eq
@@JirafaWoodThat could always be from the sound leaking from either the headphones of the musicians, or the live sounds of the other musicians

Good Mourning/Black Friday
It's a masterpiece
best of the best deth's song for me
Intro
Peace Sells, that bass line is such a classic. that would be my Megadeth song.
That killer main riff is so Beavis & Butthead. \m/ This is gonna be cool!
I love it!
Yeah yeah, kick ass! 🤘💣🤯
I couldn’t imagine looking at music from such an analytical standpoint. It would bore me to tears. I’m glad some people do though and I really enjoy these breakdowns.
That version of Megadeth was musically way ahead of any other thrash band probably ever.
I love how much you repsect Marty's musical taste, really :)
Yes! About time you did one about Megadeth. I've been waiting for a year!
Thanks Rick! :)
What Makes This Song Great?
Marty Friedman
Yes, Marty's solo and David E's inspired bassline in the chorus.
The chorus guitars are good, but the drums are almost like AC/DC. Mustaine and Menza both have their time to shine on other Megadeth songs. Or in Menza's case, the Rust in Peace album!
youre so wrong lol
@Andrew Grey - it's objectively an extremely well recorded, produced and crafted song. If you don't like it that's fine, but it's irrelevant.
Best comment - hands down!
Andrew Grey Andrew Grey lol you seem like the classic metal elitist that hates every mainstream song
Its not up for discussion weather its a good song or not. It is a great song, and you may not like it but that doesnt make it a bad song. Simple riffs, great harmony, killer solo, spot on vocals, simple yet heavy bassline that follows the riff. This song and album in general is way simpler than RiP, but it doesnt have to be too complicated and fast in order to be heavy. Do you, by any chance, hate Enter Sandman too?
gosh I got to see Megadeth live just last night and I got so pumped the moment I heard the orchestra
"Marty and I have remained friends."
JEALOUS
Thanks again Rick. You've opened my ears to Marty's playing. I mean I knew he was a killer guitarist but I couldn't hear or understand what he was doing, and now you've clarified that for me I love Marty even more. Cheers RB
“I’m not gonna play this solo note-for-note...because it’s not my style.”
Ok, Rick. Lol
ahaha. pretty sure there was some tapping going on there. no wonder it's not his style if he's trying to play it with a pick
but he plays the full solo except for the very last part in the video, not in one go, but he does.
@@mackhomie6 there is no tapping in this solo.
@@sourabhps 12:52 was just a pinky? maybe just sliding into the arpeggio
Rick is a top notch player.
Slayer - Seasons of the Abyss
Phil Isaacs my favorite Slayer track
Hell yea!
Crap
Yes
nah Angel of Death of course
In My darkest Hour was their best song, for me. That was an anthem for young men. back when you didn’t talk mental health with either your friends or your family.
This was my first real metal album as a kid. Still one of my favs of all time.
FINALLY MEGADETH! Judas Priest and Joe Satriani to go.
I would love to see a Dreamer Deceiver and Deceiver episode
Satch! YES!!!
Priest....Yes!
Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Soundgarden...
I enjoyed this so much, love your clear love/enjoyment of the (awesome) track.
Thanks, keep up the good works.
Yes! More Marty Friedman! Such an amazing guitarist. Thank you, Rick!
Best Megadeth lineup...........So happy I seen this lineup live back in the day
When you listen to Megadeth, you can clearly tell who wrote the majority of Metallica's early riffs. Great song choice Rick, and great analysis/breakdown as always. Btw that solo really is great
The best version of Metallica was after kill em all...
@@andreascola1989 I agree, and am a fan of both bands, but they kept using Mustaine riffs. Parts of Ride the Lightning, and even Master of Puppets used Mustaine era Metallica riffs. Also one could argue that Metallica (Hetfield in particular) continued to borrow from this style. I am in no way saying this is a bad thing, as they (Hetfield and Mustaine) have both influenced each others styles from those early days
@@andreascola1989 Just like the best version of Mustaine was after Kill Em All...
The core argument made by Ryan, on the other hand, is that he had a major hand in putting them ( and himself ) on the map earlier than other underground acts in America who were still searching for that sound.
@@ryangillis4215 some riffs sure (spider chords mainly) but alot of Metallica's best riffs imo are from metallica
This song also gets my blood running. The intro is so eerie and amazing. I think Max Norman really knew how to get the most out of Dave's sound. Max Norman is one of the best.
You are an outstanding musician I enjoy your videos!!!!! Did not know you played with Marty. My favorite Dave solo "The Conjuring." Then my next favorite Dave solo is the one in Holy Wars. Next Good Morning Black Friday!!!!
Never clicked a video so fast, holy molly
And yes, Marty truly is a jazz player in the metal world. The Lucretia main riff speaks for itself
One of his most melodic solos. It's always been one of my favorite Megadeth songs.
Great breakdown. My cover band ran this one Saturday night, second set. Always a crowd-pleaser.
What makes this song great?

💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙
Oh yes.
RICK! thanks for making an episode dedicated to Megadeth! Dave Mustaine is my favorite guitarist of all time. After reading his autobiography and everything he has endured through his life he deserves to be hailed as a legend I've been a Thrasher since I was a little kid and hearing peace sells on the radio. I started doing chorus and keyboard in middle school picked up my first guitar at 16 and never looked back, I was introduced to so many amazing metal, classical, and blues artists since but Megadeth remains my 2nd favorite band. I remember learning the main riff for symphony of destruction as my first riff! I'm also from upstate NY, in a small boonies town in the finger lakes I record at home and a local studio but have to record everything myself...minus drums as I just use EZDrummer and its very tiring...time consuming, expensive and their is a lot of self doubt when I get to the bass recording not being a competent bass player...im so sorry if this sounds like a huge rant but I'm a shy quiet person who doesn't really talk a lot I have only been in one real band in my life and that was 11 years ago (we played 80's covers) since I have tried and tried to move around the state to find like minded musicians I even went to Schenectady's School of Music but it seems no one wants to play metal around here and I'm so bummed because I live about 50 minutes from where Kill Em All was recorded in Rochester but the metal vibe has decayed here....all the bands who do play metal are full bands. Thank you again Rick for your amazing videos I'm learning a lot more about music watching you breakdown songs and talk theory and ill never stop doing what I love most \m/
Super fun breakdowns! You have an incredible ear & mad skillzzzzz!
Great !
Thanks for "analyzing" this song, and for honouring Nick Menza & Dave Ellefson :-)
... how did you get the separate tracks ???
Great explanations and " visuals" with your descriptions!
YES MEGADETH!!!
You are the dude from happy metal! You guys rock! Yeah, Megadeth!
Rick, I watched your videos for a few years and just love the diversity of music styles that you can reproduce.Great work!
Love you and your videos. Please keep them coming!
🙂👍🎶🎚
Ya, this song - 28 years later stil makes me smile when I hear it. Excellent break down Rick.
This channel def needs more Megadeth
What doesn't?
Man, Nicks drums are so snappy.
What band were you in that opened up for Megadeth?
the band was called Billionaire
Darude
Flock of Seagulls.
He was the lead guitar for The Paynus Brothers I believe, check the vids on YT
Kreator
Great stuff, as always it's an eye-opener. I love the bass sound you got from that Darkglass head. Their stuff just always seems to sound... right.
On the opening you missed the "MEGADETH MEGADETH AGUANTE MEGADETH!". It's OK. It can happen. 🤣🤣🤣
I knew I heard "Megadeth"!!!
What are you talking about?
Megadeeeth te vinimooo a veeeerrrrr, te llevamooo en el corazooooon, te queremoooo veeeer campeoooon
Black cat : Aguante Megadeth Is a cliche that the crowd of Argentina say at this song.
@@RetroPillowcase what Geronimo said. Search for the first time that happened. It's funny because Dave messes up the song because he gets confused! 😆😆😆
wow i had no idea all these little details were in this song! so cool :D thanks Rick!
yeah i loved the way Friedman's 'solo' was 'behind' the rhythm apposed to in-front of the rhythms ...
When they got to the first break point I noticed that that small bass change actually is a big part in the emotion of the sound to me it’s a small bass change too while everything stays the same it still changed it a bit
