timjenkins502 Total classic.. Music and lyrics written in 1 night by Mustaine upon hearing of Cliff Burtons death in 1986.. Days after it happened.. And not from Metallica.. His supposed friends.. The lyrics themselves are not about Cliff or the situation at all.. But the song came from hearing of that news and how it felt not hearing it from the guys he formed Metallica with.. And days after it happened from someone who didn’t even know Cliff.. That in itself is fucking horrible.. Imagine finding out your friend and band mate is dead days after it happened and from nobody you shared time with together with him.... Just thinking about that makes me angry.
@@lukenotskywalker2957 All just fuel to the fire that megadeth was back in the day. Dave sure got the shit end of the stick when it comes to Metallica.
@@conciergemarie6981 i can honestly say ive listened to megadeth right up to risk. Bought every album etc. But heres my 2 cents. For some reason metallica can get a grove on more than megadeth. They just have these big catchy beats that pound at yer. Also with metallica they show more diversity (one, orion).... that said. Megadeth absolutley trounce them on lyrics.... And raw like agression. I can hear a uk punk influence in sfsgsw.. Lyrics to peace sells are so so genius. So metallica got the slick grooves and those magic earworms that can cause a hit. But deth have got venomous lyrics and a manic rawness that only a true tortured artist can produce.
Brian P. It was Menzas last with the band. He left 1 year after the album released. He came back a few times over the years but never on tour or on record.. A shame he was an outstanding drummer. Marty left on the following record when Mustaine said that Megadeth needs to return to Metal.. Friedman wanted to do more pop and synth shit.. Ellefson agreed with Mustaine. Megadeth is a Metal band.. The drummer at the time joined the band to play Metal so he was game.. And by god is his drumming on TWNAH insane. Interesting period in the bands history.. The golden era ending and entering into the repair and rebuild era.. For reference we are in the return to form era now which could depending on the next album and if it’s as good if not better than Dystopia then we could be seeing a new golden era in the band to rival the Mustaine/Ellefson/Friedman/Menza combo of the 90s
@@papaJBD Stand by it and more so.. This is one of the best lineups in the bands history.. Back to back Top 3 albums.. That alone was never achieved by the 90s lineup.. Don’t think they are done either.. Mustaine is aiming for the bands first ever number 1 album in America.. So very very close to it now.
You’ve had your first taste of radio friendly commercial sounding Megadeth.. It’s still Megadeth their style and energy is still all there.. There’s some great stuff that came out of this period when it came to expanding Megadeths sound. Cryptic Writing was Megadeths 7th album (Rust is their 4th) Some fun facts.. Dave plays this live with a twin neck guitar. It’s epic! Trust is their first song to ever get number 1 on radio when it was released.. The other singles off the album did well.. But not as well as Trust.. Their following album Risk went a little to much in the direction of radio for most fans and isn’t very popular.. It has good songs on it.. But not songs you really want Megadeth to be putting out.. The album after that they went back to Metal and continued from that album to now releasing better and better albums as they go.. Their latest album Dystopia (2016) is probably in their top 5 best albums.. Obviously that depends on your tastes but I think it’s their most well thought though album since the mid 90s in terms of focus and quality. They are working on a new album right now but because of Mustaines throat cancer there has been a slight slowing down on that front while he gets that sorted.. So it’s looking like a 2020 release. 4 years between release.. Making it the longest wait for a Megadeth album ever. 😬🤣 I’m patient though.. I can wait for as long as it takes.. I know it will be worth it.. They are on a roll right now as well because of the success of the last album and it’s high quality.. It’s aggressive for sure. It’s not as fast as other albums like Rust or parts of Endgame.. It’s more like Peace Sells but modern.. Different but more in that realm.. You’ll understand when you get to it.. There’s no rush.. Megadeth have about 200 songs.. Very few can be considered ‘bad’ and even then you might like them.. Your not a dye in the wool Metalhead so it could work for you. It’s usually the hardcore metal guys that hate the stuff off Risk and Super Collider.. The more open minded enjoy it for what it is.
Great comment. I agree with everything you said. Also want to add that they won their first Grammy with Dystopia. Dave is doing well from what I have been reading, so hopefully we get that new album soon, I get excited with anticipation.
Beautiful analysis! I agree with you at the end that there was less focus on guitar solos and the rhythm guitar riffs where the main focus on albums like Cryptic Writings and Metallica’s Load & Reload 👍🏼👏🏼
Megadeth gems that no one reacts to: Lucretia High Speed Dirt 99 Ways To Die Looking Down The Cross Good Mourning/Black Friday Set The World Afire Time: The End Beginning Of Sorrow The Scorpion Deadly Nightshade Amerikhastan Burning Bridges Youthanasia Have Cool, Will Travel How The Story Ends Post American World edit: you reacted to Lucretia. you get the sub.
Lies don't just tear those apart who their aimed at. i learned the hard way that those who hurt others retain that pain in their hearts tenfold. my soul and heart is broken from those i've hurt and i've lost faith in myself
you have to react ASAP to " the skull beneath the skin", from their first album " killing is my business...and business is good". raw production and the true sound of megadeth. is mind blowing. it's from 1985 and no one was playing like them at that time. jazzy/thrash/ speed state of the art metal
Agreed! Also check out Good Mourning ... Black Friday from the Peace Sells album. I honestly feel it’s better than anything on Rust in Peace, and I know that’s a mouthful!
Megadeth has such a deep catalogue and many albums have their own unique sound. Check out the follow up to "Rust in Peace" called "Countdown to Extinction" The more popular singles from the album were "Sweating Bullets" and Symphony of "Destruction" but it also had fast, heavy + melodic songs like "Skin of My Teeth" Can't wait until you sink you teeth into more. Glad you enjoyed it. This was their biggest single from the album (and it was a single-heavy album) The fastest songs on the album are Vortex, FFF, Disintegrators
This is my favorite out of all of Megadeth's "pop" songs. As you said the chorus is fantastic. Another more radio friendly track that I love is the song "Countdown to Extinction" off the album of the same name.
Thanks man for doing MEGADETH as they became my favourite metal band in North America, next to SLAYER!! Any Megadeth id worth my time! Keep reacting and stay cool
Megadeth - Architecture of Agression, This Was My Life, or Ashes in Your Mouth. Go to the Countdown to Extinction album next. It was the album after Rust in Peace. Trust me
A couple of comments. Yes. Nick Mensa was still the drummer on Cryptic writings. Also, not only is Megadeth still recording, they won a Grammy in 2016 for best metal performance (Dystopia). They are currently working on a new record which was delayed due to Dave’s battle with throat cancer, They are looking at an early 2022 release for their new recording.
Damn wasnt expecting that great review, just saw your review of 5 magics which was also great. You really picked up the megadeth sound transitions in the 90s. Take no prisoners would a great one to finish up rust in peace
By the way that is correct Little T. Not only did Megadeth come out with another record oh, but the last one that they just did, they won and Emmy Award. And ironically enough the second of my top three bands with Megadeth is who they I want it over... Gojira
The new Insomnium has great atmosphere too 'Pale morning star'. The latest Megadeth CD is pretty good. For Megadeth thrashing in the 2000s check out 'Blackmail the universe'.
I was pulled over on a northern Alberta highway by a girl who wanted to smoke a doob. I was listening to this song when she got in my truck and she said "I freakin love Megadeth". 6 weeks later we were in Rome, Italy watching Megadeth open for Slayer. Megadeth forever!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT I'm looking forward to you getting into "So Far, So Good... So What!" That was my alarm clock for a large survey crew many years ago.
Like Metallica, megadeth got more "radio friendly" in the 90s.. shorter songs, catchy choruses.. their low point was "Risk" in the late 90s, which was just.. weak.. but they bounced back and steered doing their own thing again in the 2000s. They've had a much better late career catalog than Metallica.
Rex Weathers If you are going to listen to anything off Megadeths first album Killing is my Business... And Business is Good! Then you must listen to the 2018 version of the album.. It’s the best version sound wise by far.. If you really want that raw sound listen to the original 1985.. But I’m telling you as a fan listen to the 2018 version. It does justice to a muddy original sounding record the drums actually come to life like nothing you’ve heard before on the 2018 version because it was buried in the originals muddy mix.. The rawness is still all there but the sound is so much better.
Angry Again, The Killing Road and Psychotron are pretty good and underrated songs by them. Angry Again is a little more popular than the other two I suggested, but still worth a listen :)
Man just stumbled on your channel and have watched 6 in a row, but i digress. Watching your enjoying this for the first time made me actually hear it for the first time even though i have listened to it many times. Thank you for that.
Since that's back in my time and peak of metal music... Pretty damn refreshing to see someone likes my favorite band of all time the same as I do especially when they are younger... As usual T good vid
Love this album ;) Spent many years listening to it off and on when doing chores around the house or at work. Definitely a good groove type sound which is easy to 'work' to. Peace
I love seeing people react to songs that i love and see them change the kind of music genre they enjoy from just one masterpiece of a song. Keep up the good videos man. 👍
It makes me happy finding a reactor who genuinly likes Megadeth... You should check out the Count Down To Extinction/Youthanasia era. Pretty radio friendly but the lyric/song quality is just some of daves best imo, I also feel like this was the era where Daves vocals were in their prime. Some of my favorite songs of that era would be "This Was My Life" "Architecture of Aggression" "Ashes in Your Mouth" "Youthanasia" "Black Curtains" "Captive Honor". This was the 90's era megadeth
A much more mellow Megadeth, but yet it sounds much more sinister and darker. You can hear the evolution of the band from album to album, yet the exploration of the darkness that is inside all of us is the constant. This song is a gem!
Cryptic Writings was a highly underrated album. It came out in 1997 during the dark days of American heavy metal and it didn't get the exposure it probably deserved. There's a lot of good songs on it. Check out a few more. I think you'll love the vibe this album has.
I'm a new subscriber & that's one fabulous review-- I LOVE your video background during the guitar solo!!! By the way, you remarked on Dave Mustaine's growly vocal style-- As a founding member of Metallica, he was surely influenced by James Hetfield.
Earlier songs from Megadeth you should check out: In My Darkest Hour; Wake Up Dead; The Conjuring. Songs after Rust in Peace: Architecture of Aggression; Sweating Bullets; Angry Again; The Disintegrators; Tout le Monde; Train of Consequences; Play for Blood; I could go on and on.
Megadeth lite - I use this song to introduce those who would resist even listening to a band named 'Megadeth'. "Who is this?",.......I crack a demon smile and wryly reply, Megadeth. They're hooked even if they don't admit it then.
I have thought of two other songs. Early on, Dave did a lot of covers and some songs for movie soundtracks, as well. His cover of Anarchy in the UK (The Sex Pistols) is awesome and worth a listen, but his best cover, off of the Shocker soundtrack is No More Mr. Nice Guy (Alice Cooper). He performed this in the midst of lineup changes between the So Far, So Good, So What and Rust in Peace recordings. Nick had joined the band, but Marty had not, yet joined. This is a ripping song and the guitar is all Dave Mustaine. I always loved that Dave has never had an ego in featuring the other guitarist in the band, but doing this without another guitarist shows what you already know. He is as good as any metal guitarist ever.
I have seen that you have checked out many more Megadeth songs, but here are a few I haven’t seen reactions to, that you might enjoy. I would suggest A Tout Le Monde (The version from 2007, featuring Cristina Scabbia) from United Abominations, The Hardest Part of Letting Go/Sealed With a Kiss from Endgame and Thirteen, the title track from Thirteen. All are a bit more melodic, but Thirteen, I feel, is massively underrated.
Ok, both Gar and Menza died, I was actually thinking of "In my darkest hour" that Dave wrote for Cliff Burton (Metallicas bassist) after he died. Lot of deth. And Yeah Cryptic Writings and Risk was the record company trying to capitalize on mettalicas success with their transition into mainstream metal. It sucks because that pressure to compete with the mainstream and the decline of the solos in Megadeth songs led to Marty's departure from the band.
Wasnt the record company.. dave wanted to go that way. He said risk should ve been a solo album. He knew it was to soft for megadeth fans but he got the guys with him do... marty was absolutely behind this first there were interviews... and yes cryptic is different but a great album... risk has some good tracks still, if you dont expect thrash... world needs a hero was like picking up the old stuff again.. i say theres no bad megadeth album... just be open. I come from the mid 80s Hardcore punk scene and aldo grew up with thrash.. Strange, if xou look at voivod fans, we love the guys for being diverse... or Rush, same thing.. but straight metal heads are very caught within certain patterns or call it clische... Good music is good music.. now i put on death... ;)
@@zachariahcook703 one of my favorite metal bands too... next to megadeth voivod... I tried control denied several times... i love the music, chuck was a genius... generations of musicians using his scales. But i dont get the voice.. and really i tried hard to love it;)
@@jensbaumann6945 it took me a while to get used to the new singers voice, I liked chucks screams on Symbolic and Perseverance the best. I think I have a voivod tape but I haven't listened to them since high school. I'm soley a record guy now and voivods originals are a little hard to find. Nothingface is the tape I have
@@crimsonmenace7733 Yeah, the 80s get a bad rap everyone thinks all the metal was glam back then but really the 80s had the best metal by far,not even a debate.
dead horse like asrielle. Underground band from Texas. Made a few albums in that time era. Rich in tone, not so commercialize. Rigormortis was another favorite band if mine. Slow death, die in pain, or worms of the earth from their ep. Wouldnt expect a reaction, but you might like it. Dig your channel. Cleaner sound i liked overkill horoscope, playing w/spiders skullcrusher ,time to kill.
My man t , dude...! One of my top three bands on planet Earth , Megadeth ... other than Type O Negative and Gojira... Of course masters of Mayhem, Megadeth! As a drummer Nick menza was phenomenal... Rest in peace. But 2008 although I am an originalist and love the original lineup... The technicality ability and Chemistry Between the guys second to none and might be my favorite lineup even though Dave changes lineups like underwear. Kiko's the new king on Twin with Dave today. But my point, San Diego live DVD 2008, blood in the water tour is on RUclips. It's under... Megadeth blood in the water San Diego. Kick It In at intro into Sleepwalkers and then segue into wake up dead. Holy shit, what are the best shows I've ever heard or have seen. Chris Broderick on lead is a phenomenon, Shawn drover is the new Drummer what are the best on the planet and as a lefty, blows me away as a drummer cuz it looks weird of shit. And the bass player yes far exceeds Dave's main man from the beginning, but is a better bass player as well as Showman. dude, you just got to see it. I've seen it many times, but only with a chosen couple and less than a few... Me and my wife enjoy your reactions and guarantee your thumbnail will say Top Dog of all before reactions. You won't be disappointed. It's our 28th anniversary, this is my request of you my man. Also swear not to hear my wife gawk about you all the time... LOL
No worries bro I got you. I'm loving everything Megadeth right now. I've actaully just started listening to Gjira and I'm like "holy fuck" where have I been all these years. Gojira is a solid band. i'm currently looking for a good track to react to.
@@TheAdventuresofTNTthen you have to check out ,Garorock live HD show. Can't miss it on RUclips thumb nail is blue with lighting and you need to Segway 2 songs. First Ouroboros and then segue into one of the baddest songs ever... Heaviest matter of the universe. I always like to Segway 2 songs considering to Gojira songs is Will shorter than say like night wishes ghost love score. But you really can't go wrong with Gojira... Throw a dart. But that couple songs especially on that show or any show really but that's one of my favorites. Does yours one of those rare breeds. One of a Kind no one else sounds like Gojira in the writing or the sound. Mario the drummer and his brother Joe that does the singing unbelievable. Mario being one of the baddest drummers on the planet but does the most complex rudiments I've ever heard and Arrangements. And they just are good people. They're all about love peace and the environment. And of course astral projecting in some of their songs like flying whales, where dragons dwell, born in winter, Etc. But dude if you check that out as well as the two song Segway Megadeth you'll come away at new man in the thinking of live bands. The other Rare Breed category of Gojira, they sound better live and one of the best live bands on Earth.
Yeah, some people may not like it as its a lot more commercial sounding than their other tracks, but this is one great piece of songwriting, that riff is amazing, the bass intro and bass lines were great, and Dave really got the best out of his voice on this as well.
You should also check out Testament, my favorite thrash band, they have evolved so much from their early days, but damn near everything is really good from them.
as a casual listener, metallica suits people more but megadeth... damn dave mustaine is a genius
Geniusly insane
Loving both bands, I always wonder what Metallica would have been like it Dave stayed their guitarist.
Honestly prefer Megadeth. But Metallica isn't bad.
both can be listened to casually
Metallica are like The Beatles - made for the everyman.
Megadeth are like The Doors - made for those who appreciate true greatness!
Another dark , moody and awesome song is "In my darkest hour" it's a classic

Metallica is just better. James sings better than Dave. Writes songs better than Dave. And sold a shitload more records than Dave.
This song is an absolute gem. It took me a while to appreciate Cryptic Writings because it was much mellower than their previous stuff

That was my alarm clock for a large survey crew many years ago.
Adam Worden yea man . I’m loving this megadeth journey
You gotta check out megadeth- the conjuring, one of my all time favorites
One of my favourite tunes of all time...great choice!
Nice to see people appreciate old school metal
Like Metallica, megadeth got more "radio friendly" in the 90s.. shorter songs, catchy choruses.. their low point was "Risk" in the late 90s, which was just.. weak.. but they bounced back and steered doing their own thing again in the 2000s. They've had a much better late career catalog than Metallica.
I would concur. Happened to the best of'em. But they had some good ones too.
Laughable "radio friendly" comment🤣😂 remember enter sandman?
Man, I am loving following you on your Megadeth journey! So many great songs, such incredible talent. My favorite metal band.
Trust has some of the best drum imo. I love the opening drums. As you stated, “powerful” or “Brooding”.
The mood of 1000 Times Goodbye is more accurate for my personal history, but melody wise I love the flow of this one.
Killing is My Business is going to MELT YOUR BRAIN
Rex Weathers If you are going to listen to anything off Megadeths first album Killing is my Business... And Business is Good! Then you must listen to the 2018 version of the album.. It’s the best version sound wise by far.. If you really want that raw sound listen to the original 1985.. But I’m telling you as a fan listen to the 2018 version. It does justice to a muddy original sounding record the drums actually come to life like nothing you’ve heard before on the 2018 version because it was buried in the originals muddy mix.. The rawness is still all there but the sound is so much better.
Finally, someone who gets the difference in quality of the 80's and 90's compared to recent stuff!
My favorite megadeath song . Honesty to a fault built in a metal song.
Angry Again, The Killing Road and Psychotron are pretty good and underrated songs by them. Angry Again is a little more popular than the other two I suggested, but still worth a listen :)
Megadeth's 1,000 Times Goodbye from their World Needs A Hero release is a must hear track!
why did you have to pop into my "recommendations" at 1130pm? I'm going to be here all night :)
Dude made me the happiest megadeth fan in the first 10 seconds. Youthanasia is my fav. Album..
Man just stumbled on your channel and have watched 6 in a row, but i digress. Watching your enjoying this for the first time made me actually hear it for the first time even though i have listened to it many times. Thank you for that.
Since that's back in my time and peak of metal music... Pretty damn refreshing to see someone likes my favorite band of all time the same as I do especially when they are younger... As usual T good vid
Marty Friedman performs most of the solos from 1990-2000 so if you hear a solo assume it is him.
I’m so glad somebody finally reacted to this song!
fucking love this song.
Love this album ;) Spent many years listening to it off and on when doing chores around the house or at work. Definitely a good groove type sound which is easy to 'work' to.
Peace
Trust is one of the best song 🤘
Been listening to megadeth. But after not listening for many years and suddenly come across here i just realise how amazing is marty friedman's solo.
☠️ MEGADETH ☠️
MASTER MUSICIANS 🎸
PERFECTIONISTS OF THEIR CRAFT
🖤 I LOVE MEGADETH 🖤
You reacted to MEGADETH...i gotta sub. nuff said .
More megadeth is coming bro, stay tuned!
I love seeing people react to songs that i love and see them change the kind of music genre they enjoy from just one masterpiece of a song. Keep up the good videos man. 👍
Listening to it now for the reasons you describe. It is working. That and Y and Ts Mean Streak. Different styles, but both help scratch that itch.
It makes me happy finding a reactor who genuinly likes Megadeth... You should check out the Count Down To Extinction/Youthanasia era. Pretty radio friendly but the lyric/song quality is just some of daves best imo, I also feel like this was the era where Daves vocals were in their prime.
Some of my favorite songs of that era would be "This Was My Life" "Architecture of Aggression" "Ashes in Your Mouth" "Youthanasia" "Black Curtains" "Captive Honor".
This was the 90's era megadeth
I think Menza was still in Megadeth back then. Great song, love your videos🤘
this one goes to my top 20 favorite song list... for sure
this is a great album
A much more mellow Megadeth, but yet it sounds much more sinister and darker. You can hear the evolution of the band from album to album, yet the exploration of the darkness that is inside all of us is the constant. This song is a gem!
Cryptic Writings was a highly underrated album. It came out in 1997 during the dark days of American heavy metal and it didn't get the exposure it probably deserved. There's a lot of good songs on it. Check out a few more. I think you'll love the vibe this album has.
Another fantastic song off the album cryptic writing . No question.
As a teen with a cd player going to school I vividly remember having this cd popped in the majority of the time
Agree with so many others here. You HAVE to do In My Darkest Hour. That's my all-time favorite Megadeth jam. That opening is legendary.
Super underrated song by them! Love it!
OR "ADDICTED TO CHAOS"....TY BIG JIM...BTW MY WHOLE LEFT SHOULDER HAS MEGADETH'S SYMBOL VIC RATTLEHEAD TATTED.
Dope!!!!
Cryptic Writings is such an underrated album! Good pic!!
Great song. You should listen Megadeth - "Evil Thats Within" is a demo of "Sin" which the same album Crytic Writings
Yes
One thing that some people don't understand is that metal doesn't have to always be thrashy or fast it can be slow paced and still be a banger.
I'm a new subscriber & that's one fabulous review-- I LOVE your video background during the guitar solo!!! By the way, you remarked on Dave Mustaine's growly vocal style-- As a founding member of Metallica, he was surely influenced by James Hetfield.
Earlier songs from Megadeth you should check out: In My Darkest Hour; Wake Up Dead; The Conjuring. Songs after Rust in Peace: Architecture of Aggression; Sweating Bullets; Angry Again; The Disintegrators; Tout le Monde; Train of Consequences; Play for Blood; I could go on and on.
Just like Rust in Peace is the answer for Master of Puppets!
Megadeth lite - I use this song to introduce those who would resist even listening to a band named 'Megadeth'. "Who is this?",.......I crack a demon smile and wryly reply, Megadeth. They're hooked even if they don't admit it then.
sorry I'm late you got a new fan bro keep listening and rocking on man
MEGADETH!!! My absolute favorite! But I have to say, other than "Rust".....Youthanasia is my favorite album and often overlooked??
I have thought of two other songs. Early on, Dave did a lot of covers and some songs for movie soundtracks, as well. His cover of Anarchy in the UK (The Sex Pistols) is awesome and worth a listen, but his best cover, off of the Shocker soundtrack is No More Mr. Nice Guy (Alice Cooper). He performed this in the midst of lineup changes between the So Far, So Good, So What and Rust in Peace recordings. Nick had joined the band, but Marty had not, yet joined. This is a ripping song and the guitar is all Dave Mustaine. I always loved that Dave has never had an ego in featuring the other guitarist in the band, but doing this without another guitarist shows what you already know. He is as good as any metal guitarist ever.
I have seen that you have checked out many more Megadeth songs, but here are a few I haven’t seen reactions to, that you might enjoy. I would suggest A Tout Le Monde (The version from 2007, featuring Cristina Scabbia) from United Abominations, The Hardest Part of Letting Go/Sealed With a Kiss from Endgame and Thirteen, the title track from Thirteen. All are a bit more melodic, but Thirteen, I feel, is massively underrated.
Ok, both Gar and Menza died, I was actually thinking of "In my darkest hour" that Dave wrote for Cliff Burton (Metallicas bassist) after he died. Lot of deth. And Yeah Cryptic Writings and Risk was the record company trying to capitalize on mettalicas success with their transition into mainstream metal. It sucks because that pressure to compete with the mainstream and the decline of the solos in Megadeth songs led to Marty's departure from the band.
wow!
Wasnt the record company.. dave wanted to go that way. He said risk should ve been a solo album. He knew it was to soft for megadeth fans but he got the guys with him do... marty was absolutely behind this first there were interviews... and yes cryptic is different but a great album... risk has some good tracks still, if you dont expect thrash... world needs a hero was like picking up the old stuff again.. i say theres no bad megadeth album... just be open. I come from the mid 80s Hardcore punk scene and aldo grew up with thrash..
Strange, if xou look at voivod fans, we love the guys for being diverse... or Rush, same thing.. but straight metal heads are very caught within certain patterns or call it clische...
Good music is good music.. now i put on death... ;)
@@jensbaumann6945 omg, now death is my favorite band. You ever listen to Chucks second band; control denied?
@@zachariahcook703 one of my favorite metal bands too... next to megadeth voivod...
I tried control denied several times... i love the music, chuck was a genius... generations of musicians using his scales. But i dont get the voice.. and really i tried hard to love it;)
@@jensbaumann6945 it took me a while to get used to the new singers voice, I liked chucks screams on Symbolic and Perseverance the best. I think I have a voivod tape but I haven't listened to them since high school. I'm soley a record guy now and voivods originals are a little hard to find. Nothingface is the tape I have
You need to hear Countdown To Extinction and Ashes In Your Mouth. Amazing songs everyone sleeps on
Megadeth - Mechanix 🤘🤘
80s Megadeth and Metallica is the way to go,best metal ever created.
Don't do it like that anymore man and to have lived during that is a priceless thing
@@crimsonmenace7733 Yeah, the 80s get a bad rap everyone thinks all the metal was glam back then but really the 80s had the best metal by far,not even a debate.
Go on with symphony of destruction... but the that one night version thats some really good crowd doing their stuff.
lates cd was in 2016 is call Dystopia and is amazing
You are nailing it dude!
Check out Looking Down the Cross from their first album. I promise you'll love it.
One of the best album.. lots of slow songs with dark lyric
Most of Cryptic Writings, was about breakups.
dead horse like asrielle. Underground band from Texas. Made a few albums in that time era. Rich in tone, not so commercialize. Rigormortis was another favorite band if mine. Slow death, die in pain, or worms of the earth from their ep. Wouldnt expect a reaction, but you might like it. Dig your channel.
Cleaner sound i liked overkill horoscope, playing w/spiders skullcrusher ,time to kill.
My man t , dude...! One of my top three bands on planet Earth , Megadeth ... other than Type O Negative and Gojira... Of course masters of Mayhem, Megadeth! As a drummer Nick menza was phenomenal... Rest in peace. But 2008 although I am an originalist and love the original lineup... The technicality ability and Chemistry Between the guys second to none and might be my favorite lineup even though Dave changes lineups like underwear. Kiko's the new king on Twin with Dave today. But my point, San Diego live DVD 2008, blood in the water tour is on RUclips. It's under... Megadeth blood in the water San Diego. Kick It In at intro into Sleepwalkers and then segue into wake up dead. Holy shit, what are the best shows I've ever heard or have seen. Chris Broderick on lead is a phenomenon, Shawn drover is the new Drummer what are the best on the planet and as a lefty, blows me away as a drummer cuz it looks weird of shit. And the bass player yes far exceeds Dave's main man from the beginning, but is a better bass player as well as Showman. dude, you just got to see it. I've seen it many times, but only with a chosen couple and less than a few... Me and my wife enjoy your reactions and guarantee your thumbnail will say Top Dog of all before reactions. You won't be disappointed. It's our 28th anniversary, this is my request of you my man. Also swear not to hear my wife gawk about you all the time... LOL
No worries bro I got you. I'm loving everything Megadeth right now. I've actaully just started listening to Gjira and I'm like "holy fuck" where have I been all these years. Gojira is a solid band. i'm currently looking for a good track to react to.
@@TheAdventuresofTNTthen you have to check out ,Garorock live HD show. Can't miss it on RUclips thumb nail is blue with lighting and you need to Segway 2 songs. First Ouroboros and then segue into one of the baddest songs ever... Heaviest matter of the universe. I always like to Segway 2 songs considering to Gojira songs is Will shorter than say like night wishes ghost love score. But you really can't go wrong with Gojira... Throw a dart. But that couple songs especially on that show or any show really but that's one of my favorites. Does yours one of those rare breeds. One of a Kind no one else sounds like Gojira in the writing or the sound. Mario the drummer and his brother Joe that does the singing unbelievable. Mario being one of the baddest drummers on the planet but does the most complex rudiments I've ever heard and Arrangements. And they just are good people. They're all about love peace and the environment. And of course astral projecting in some of their songs like flying whales, where dragons dwell, born in winter, Etc. But dude if you check that out as well as the two song Segway Megadeth you'll come away at new man in the thinking of live bands. The other Rare Breed category of Gojira, they sound better live and one of the best live bands on Earth.
another great song that megadeath has done %100 all the way
Yeah, some people may not like it as its a lot more commercial sounding than their other tracks, but this is one great piece of songwriting, that riff is amazing, the bass intro and bass lines were great, and Dave really got the best out of his voice on this as well.
You should also check out Testament, my favorite thrash band, they have evolved so much from their early days, but damn near everything is really good from them.
