    Lyrically, musically, technically, I have to say this is their best song. The anti-war part is a core part of metal; Sabbath began the tradition, and Megadeth, Iron Maiden, and Metallica very much continued the tradition and amplified it.

      That's why metal got the big Satan Music title slapped on it. The government was run by people claiming to be Christian while they bombed the shit outta whoever they wanted. Most metal from the 80s and early 90s actually has a good message. Can't have the sheep questioning reality.

      As someone who was an underground fan and claims to love Megadeth, what was it like trying to be a fan of both when so many of their fans wanted to “see the others dead” just because of the whole Metallica v Mustaine situation? It’s something that my friends and I, who are either die hard fans of one or the other or are fans of both, tend to debate to this day.

    The second half is actually about the comic The Punisher, first half was about the war, but when they played in Ireland, he was blacked out drunk on stage and dedicated this song to the rebels, cause they used the bands skull for a short, which in Belfast, where the show was caused a riot, the band had to be snuck out in the middle of the night

    • @fuckitweball77
      @fuckitweball77 Год назад +11

      They didn't play it, Dave Mustaine said "give Ireland back to the Irish" or something like that, this made the audience split into two sides and they started fighting each other, Megadeth had to be escorted out of the building , this is the experience that inspired Dave to write Holy Wars

    • @theicedevil
      @theicedevil Год назад +3

      The band was playing Ireland, probably for the first time, during the height of the "The Troubles". The band was really naive, not really knowing what "The Troubles" were or what it was about. Backstage there was talk about some incidents happening around the arena during the event that were Troubles related. Later on backstage, Dave caught someone selling bootleg Megadeth shirt and he went to take away the bootlegged shirt from the man. The bootlegger protested by saying that the shirts are being sold in support for "the cause". Dave, being naive, asked him what is "the cause?", which the bootlegger answered by saying, “It’s about prejudice and religion. The Catholics think they are better than the Protestants; the Protestants think they are better than the Catholics.”
      So during the bands set, before they started playing their famous cover of the Sex Pistols song, Anarchy In The UK, Dave (being drunk and stupid) introed in the song by saying "This one is for The Cause". This caused the audience to divide and start fighting one another. After the set, the band was immediately escorted to a bullet proof bus and then driven out of the country that very night. Dave was so drunk that he didn't remember the night and was shocked to find out that he was not in Ireland anymore. This I believe also got Megadeth in hot water with Ireland for a time as well.

      I have played bass forever. So I am somewhat of a musician (done a few random projects but mostly a passionate hobby that I will do to death) I have a regular job so am no pro but I can impress randos so I'm not total garbage. That being said I've been a metal head since a young child thanks to my mom and dad. I also listen to literally everything besides techno and most modern country/rap. Imho Megadeath is a better band technically in skill than Metallica, and I fucking love them to death. That being said I do feel that Metallica songs just "sound" better even though they more simple and easier to play.

    Megadeth is one(out of many others) of the top metal bands in the music industry. The one in the blonde-like hair is Dave mustaine, he the guitarist and vocalist for the band. I actually got to see him in my very 1st concert experience back in 2012 during their U.S collider tour in NJ and they are no joke. This music video gives you a small taste of what they did in their earlier prime and now( if my math is correct) nearly 40 years later they are still in their prime to this day. They even released their new recent album: The sick, The dying, And the dead a little over a couple months ago. To summarize it, they are a band that is a huge must-listen when it comes to their songs and performances of those songs. If you want to listen to more Megadeth, I highly suggest listening to hangar 18.

    First thing I found it so funny you used the reference "statue of David" when describing the bass player who is named David Ellifson. The skull you keep alluding to is the bands mascot "Vic Rattlehead," I feel that this line up of Dave Mustaine lead vocals & guitar, Marty Freedman guitar, David Ellifson bass, and the late Nick Menza RIP on drums is by far the greatest line up in the bands long history. I had the honor of seeing this line up in concert five times. You can believe that at every one of those shows I was in the mosh pit that you mentioned during the video!

    Just saw a couple of your metal reactions and analysis videos and I am very impressed with your lyrical examination and ability to piece together the meanings presented within the songs themselves. When you delve into metal there are too many bands to choose from.. and I am sure you have many people throwing suggestions your way. I will give you a quick breakdown of my own favorite bands but not the songs themselves.. just so you are familiar with the names.
    King Diamond - King Diamond does concept albums/horror stories. Worth a listen if you are into stories that span multiple songs.
    Mercyful Fate - King Diamond does vocals for Mercyful fate.. which is an even darker band lyrically.
    Meshuggah - Famous for polyrhythms and for pioneering a style known as djent.
    Possessed - A mix of speed/thrash metal with harsh (growling almost) vocals.. the band that inspired the first death metal band.
    Death - The first death metal band.
    Iron Maiden - Each song tells a story either of history, alternative futures, or is based on a book or a movie.
    Black Sabbath - Credited for being the OG of metal. Ozzy Osbourne was their original vocalist.
    Ozzy Osbourne - Solo artist and see above.
    Dio - Ronnie James Dio is the vocalist for this band.. also replaced Ozzy in Black Sabbath for a time. One of the best vocalists in metal.
    Rainbow - Another band which featured Dio on vocals for a time. Less metal more rock.. but it was the 70's.
    AC/DC - Classic hard rock with a heavy blues influence.
    Metallica - Speaks for itself. One of the 'big 4' of thrash metal.
    Megadeth - Speaks for itself. Another of the big 4.
    Slayer - Another big 4.. but much darker/harsher than Metallica/Megadeth
    Anthrax - The last of the big 4.. considered by most to be the 'fun' band of the big 4.
    Yngwie Malmsteen - Classically trained metal guitarist.
    Devin Townsend - Musical Madman with many projects under his belt (under many different names)
    Strapping Young Lad - One of Devin's more psychotic projects.
    Gojira - French metal with an environmental agenda.
    Jinjer - Female lead singer.. from Ukraine. Mix of styles of music from Reggae to heavy metal.
    There are waaaay more than that (obviously) but these should keep you in stitches for years if you do a deep-dive into their music plus the music that inspired them.. as well as the music that they inspired.
    Enjoy the trip ;)

      The lyricism of metal often seems to be over looked, particularly by people who don't have an ear for it. It's interesting watching people with a hip-hop background, like Knox, who really start to dig into the meaning of these songs.

    Heyy! i was late for the livestream but i wanted to say your reactions are very much appreciated, you always go a step further on the search for meaning, symbolism or even on technicallities (sorry for my eng., not a native speaker) anyway, i wanted to say i subscribed after i saw your take on Residente and how well you managed to understand and value every single aspect of it, like man.. very complete analisis as always, rly one of my favorite reactors on yt.
    Also, I wanted to recommend you one true artist, , great sound and deep original topics on most of his lyrics, versatile, going from europop catchy club music to slow and chill depressive ones, but always great beatdrops
    his name is STROMAE, from Belgium, he sings in french but has subs on most of his songs, many ppl know "PAPAOUTAI" the most viral one which takes an approach on father's figure absence,
    LANFER is a minimalist video, witha chorus that resembles african tribal style talking about suicidal thoughts without running to cliché,
    SANTÉ is a song with latino/cumbia vibes that is an ode to the workers that dont get recognition on society, (also perfect for new year)
    FILS DE JOIE is a portrait of how society (from the customers, to police and even the pimps) would take the death of a sexual worker, making an ironic video where he makes a huge funeral with military forces grieving the dissapearence of a (fictional) sex worker, he sings as if he was his son giving the funerary speach,
    FORMIDABLE which is about a breakup and the guy gets drunk and makes a scene with the ex, then he goes on town venting his (drunk) anger and discontent.. the thing is he actually pretended to be drunk on public with well hidden cameras for the MV , people sent the police for the disturbance he made and got very criticized on the news cause they all fell for it, until he released the video, people went nuts when they saw he was just acting for the performance.
    Wish you checkk'im out, any of his songs! will be wating!
    keep up the good work :)

    KH, thanks for the reaction of this classic thrash metal band. They are by far the most progressive of the ‘big four’ thrash bands. This is one of their best songs from this album.

    The first half of the song "Holy Wars" was made from Dave's experience in Ireland at a concert they were playing. Not knowing of the differences between Ireland and North Ireland, a guy selling bootleg shirts in the crowd for "The Cause", which Dave thought was to support Ireland itself (turned out to be for the IRA), then he said one of the worst things you could say on stage at that time, "This song is for The Cause - Anarchy In Antrim!" where they covered a sex pistols song and all shit broke loose and Dave had to be taken to a bullet proof bus. The 2nd half of the song "The Punishment Due" is literally just about Marvel's The Punisher. Dave is a huge comic book fan. \m/\m/

      Mustaine's voice is another instrument in Megadeth and used that way. The mistake people have is thinking of him as a "singer." I can't imagine anyone doing the vocals in Megadeth. Yes, it's an acquired taste for some, but for me, no one else would have worked as well for this band.
