“ The next thing you know they’ll take yourThoughts away” You got it Asia you’re right!!!!
they're already working on that.
rob k no you have to let them and people just do. People have to have their social media crack and feel good. Everything is about security and feeling good that’s how they get you.
@@hughjoelcock7145 to many people willing to give up their freedom for a "feeling" of security, without ever realizing that they're losing both.
@@sephiroth10191 yep. “Those who would give up their freedom for security deserve neither”
Yup! Asia a good listener! Always trust your intuition Asia!
Best metal album ever made. It's still so relevant 32 years later.
Hmmm, I’m still going with Kill Em All, but Dave wrote most of that too
@@bayareathrasher666 I hear you.
That particular Megadeth line-up consisting of Dave, Marty, Ellefson and Menza is what really puts the album on top for me. I love Metallica but after Cliff died, they could never compete with that in my opinion.
It's definitely the best Megadeth album imo. A masterpiece
Amen to that. Rust in Peace is definitely, in my humble opinion, the best metal album ever. To me this album is so good that is the closest to perfection you ever going to get.
@@bayareathrasher666 4 songs but still Metallica's best album
I just want to thank James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich for kicking him out of Metallica. Without this move my song library would have a huge hole in it.
💯
Amen brother!! A life without megadeth? Nah
And lars continued act like the best. Glad Dave went on his own
@@visionnumber7988 same bro. He's more man than James and Lars put together lol
Yeah and at least Dave stayed true to his style and he didn't sell out like those other guys.
Megadeth is definitely deep. And yes the last line said thoughts. Through the years they have covered wars, crooked governments, religion, etc. That album cover you are talking about is "Rust in Peace" and is considered by many to be the best thrash album ever.
If we’re going for best Thrash album and not just content, I would say Vulgar Display of Power.
@@adnap Vulgar Display of Power not even a Thrash Metal.
Master of puppets and reign in Blood are superior
“Considered by many”
True statement 🤷🏻♂️
In my personal opinion Rust in Peace is the best Trash Metal album of all time so I agree . Some say Master of Puppets which is actually the album I grew up listening to. The difference between the two albums is that as the years go by Rust in Peace and also Peace Sells albums are aging well and when songs like The Conjuring, 5 Magiks, Holy Wars, Good Morning Black Friday, Hangar 18, or Tornado of Souls is played I still get goose bumps and I’m amazed at the absolute mastery of the guitar work and bass lines and drums on these songs. Chris Polland was a jazz guitarist who was taught to play Metal by Dave Mustaine. Dave also thought James Hetfield how to play his metal riffs and the Spider Cord technique on guitar playing. That is why early metalica sounds like Megadeth but since metalica has the worlds largest fan base they always say Megadeth stole metalicas riffs and sound which is actually the other way around. Either way we have 2 great bands with similar sound.
Megadeth - God tier Metal band. Especially this lineup.
I agree 🤘🏽🙌🏽👏👏👏
And the lineup from the 1st two albums. That one is my favorite, but this one is up to par. And this is the best album.
Yup...
Asia and BJ getting into some metal. Asia is right, the last line "Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away" Song primarily pertains to war in the Middle East and Israel but Mustaine said it's about holy wars fought all over the world. Other Megadeth songs to check out: Symphony of Destruction, Tornado of Souls, In My Darkest Hour, Sweating Bullets, Angry Again, Trust, Foreclosure of a Dream, Hanger 18, Lucretia and Train of Consequences.
Yes
It's called Holy Wars/The Punishment Due.... One part is about the Gulf War the other is based in the Punisher comic book
The idea for holy wars and what it's about actually has to do with the fight in Ireland between Catholics and Protestants. Look at my comment I posted, the timing of the release and Gulf War tied the two together forever. Now Mustain clearly expanded beyond just what he saw in Ireland and the Middle East had been fighting a holy war during the 80's already so it all does tie together in the end. Thanks everyone
@@mikexxx11"Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite"
doesn't sound like something the Punisher would say
dont forget. LIAR!!!
Ahhhh back in the day when fully automatic machine guitars where legal
This is a masterpiece! Great choice ❤
He didn't say race war.
He said "wage the war on organized crime."
From the Punisher comic book
yup, "wage the war"
Yeah the Punishment due...is basically about the Punisher. So its 2 parts basically. Lots of people get this wrong.
The second part about the Punisher also applies to (holy) wars. You lose family in war, you lose yourself, they don't want you to think for yourself while that's happening, they just want you to do their bidding and fight and die for the cause. Still relevant to the first part.
Race war is organised crime would be a cool lyric tho
Congratulations on finding the STANDARD, with which ALL other metal is measured.
The first part was about Ireland 🇮🇪 and the Catholics and Protestants, the second part of the song is about the Marvel comic the Punisher.
After Dave had screwed up royally dedicating Anarchy In The UK to a divided crowd whilst playing in County Antrim Ireland. 😃
This song came out during the Gulf War in the early '90s.
"Hook in Mouth" is a good one too
*First time I saw Dave on stage...he blew me away. It was early 1983, at The Stone in San Fran, and he was with Metallica then.*
Bay area rocks👍
You lucky bastard 😉
In my opinion the greatest thrash metal song ever.
It can be a hard one to analyze lyrically because the first part is indeed about holy wars. The second part, well, is about a comic book character called The Punisher. 🙃
The best heavy metal deals with mature and complex themes and certainly back in the day didn't get credit for doing so
Exactly
Ozzy has been singing about climate change for 50 years.
@@BuckeyeaTransplant climate 'change' is not a complex or deep issue. It's just what it is, nothing much to say or do.
One
That's an outstanding point...a handful of metal bands in the 80s and 90s saw that singing about Satan, partying, and brawling had been done over and over and began to make a concerted effort, as a whole, to expand their lyrical content, their message. Glad to see it mentioned, not everyone catches it. It was a real thing...
Megadeth lyrics are really heavy. You should read the lyrics as you listen.
This song came out just weeks after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in August of 1990 and began playing playing on MTV just days after Hussein called on all Arab and Muslim people to join him in a Holy War against the American Crusaders. Although the song obviously wasn't written about the Persain Gulf War it became a current event metal hit. I remember Dave Mustain telling Howard Stern who thought the timing worked out great for them that he was kinda pissed Saddam stole his song title for his little Sand Box War. Classic Dave Mustain. Since you like Megadeth I'll give you guy's a bit of info, Mustain picked the bands name after reading an article on Nuclear War. The article explained that Mutually Assured Destruction is what prevented Nuclear war but if it happened the casualties would be so massive it referred to as Megadeath. He liked the name, took out the letter [A] in death and the rest is history. Thanks Asia and BJ. Hope you enjoyed my comment
You probably know this but Dave was being funny as the concept of a holy war (jihad) was hardly created by him.
The 1st time I heard this song I was in the Air Force in grand forks north Dakota working on the A pad ( alert pad ) with 3 fully loaded with nukes B1B boomers ready to go at a moments notice. Whenever I here this song it takes me back to those days
The U.S. invaded Iraq because Hussein demanded Euros for his oil and that was upsetting to the hegemony of the U.S. dollar.
@@5burowz I can't say forsure the real reason Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 but it's Impossible it had anything to do with Euro's because they didn't exist at the time, neither did the European Union. The Berlin wall had come down 9 months prior and the Soviet Union still controlled most of eastern Europe. The USSR didn't dissolve until 12/25/91 after a failed coup in August of 1991. After the communist fell Europe reorganized yet again paving the way for the E.U. and the introduction of the euro.
It's about the IRA
Big story Dave had to be escorted out of Ireland
still gives me goose bumps after all these years . great reaction guys!
Megadeth is great! Always have a jazzy bluesy structure to their music but thrashy metal! Very technical. Love the interlude with teh Spanish flamenco guitar acoustics too! Yes, They are masters on the guitars. Megadeth is singing about war crimes, politics, government, racial issues, etc. Thrash and punk rock is typical for that. Socially consience. Injustice things like that. Outcasts,. Similar to hard core rap music. I grew up listening to rap and metal and punk alot my friends did too.. I guess rebel music jaja. Video to this song is great too ! Arsenio Hall loved them too they were was on his show playing songs when I was in middle school. Like early 1990s. When this album dropped.
But I bet you loved Karen Carpenter!
Megadeth perfected that mix of thrash with a sophisticated musicianship, hardcore, jazzy, funk vibe. Mustaine wrote a bunch of songs about politics and society. He and Ice-T are good friends.
He’s guesting on a song on the new megadeth album !
"The next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away."
Megadeth has alot to offer when your ears are in the mood for some metal. Their lyrics are thought provoking as well. I was barely old enough to comprehend the idea of nuclear war but it's worth remembering the cold war with the USSR was not yet over. Good stuff.
Mustaine doesn't write about nonsense. He is a very political and thought-provoking writer. You owe it to yourself to read the lyrics to this song.
Mechanix :)
Yeah, I agree with that. Why do you think they push metal to the back burner and pump other genres of music that don't talk about these type of issues. So sickening even back then.
First time viewer...I'm loving how in depth she is paying attention to what the song is about. Love you guys already. Subscribed!!!
Megadeth, "She Wolf" live video will blow your guys mind. Really showcases the talent of each band member.
Should definitely be your next Megadeth choice
Only the Rude Awakening live version 2001
@@mzpepsigurl Yes, it has to be that extended version.
Too many people make ambiguous requests that lead to the wrong review.
Arguably Mustaine's greatest achievement..
The pinnacle of Megadeth. Dope reaction btw 💯
Come on….give Marty some credit. He seemed to light a fire under that ass
Megadeth - She Wolf (Live Rude Awakenings)
Wow I didn't realise this one hadn't been done. Nice. Would love to hear Metallica Disposable Hero's - another epic like this one. Metallica's finest in my opinion.
Disposable Heroes is a must!
That solo is tasty as fuck!
Ya'll should do Hangar 18 next off the same album. There's an official video for it but have the lyrics pulled up on your phones or something and you'll get all he's talking about.
I recommend Megadeth's Hangar 18 and also listen to Tornadoes of Souls. I recently bought this album in vinyl. I only buy vinyl on albums that are worth having on this format. But I also have on CD.
I clicked LIKE and then forgot I clicked like and unclicked it and had to click it again. So I clicked it a few more times because Y'ALL ARE LISTENING TO F'ING HOLY WARS. You have my heart.
Holy Smokes you all are playing Holy Wars from Rust in Peace album that record is 🔥🔥🔥
DAVE WAS THE ORIG GUITARIST FOR METALLICA. DIDNT KNOW IF YOU GUYS NEW THAT
The lyrics were " Wage the war on organized crime "
Rock On 🤩 1990 released
It's amazing this song is 30 years old and the lyrics still hold true today
The greatest Metal song of all time!
Please make sure that you guys check out the non-remastered versions in the future! Also, put the lyrics on the screen so u guys can easily see what they´re saying! Some more great Megadeth track are "my last words", "A tout le monde", "in my darkest hour", "hangar 18", "tornado of souls"( has arguably the best metal solo of all time).
Sweating Bullets was always a fave for me
You are correct Asia...my favorite metal band MEGADETH
Wish you had done the live version, but glad you covered this song all the same. My favorite Megadeath song!
The people sitting down on the cover were some of the major world leaders of the time when the album came out.
I've not been to many live shows but I did get to see Megadeth at a venue in Charlotte NC called the Tremont. They sounded really good and even though it's not a huge venue the crowd was lit. The highlight of the show was when they performed peace sells and the crowd all new the words and were singing along
Yes he did say - "Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away."
Lots of similar stuff going on today from this this song, but a lot of it is hidden haha. He did say "burning books" which is going on with taking them away, and at the end he did say,"theyl'll take my thoughts away", which is still going on. It's funny how so much music covered wars and what the starters are focused on. War songs-- CCR, John Lennon, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Slayer, Jinjer, etc
Check out the lyrics for the new Shinedown song Planet Zero.
It might not be your style of music but the message is on point.

@@jack-of-all-trades1234 Cool! I'll probably try checking them out today. Just slow in coming back to guitar with two broken hands, ha. --I just say that since I'm looking to get back into playing and trying to find both lyrics and music I relate with***
Oh s*** you guys got around to this one. Definitely one of the top five metal songs ever
Sweating bullets awesome song
First time I ever listened to this was in South Africa 🇿🇦 in Cape Town about 30 years ago and I just decided this was the band for me. Then I left and came to America.
MD has always been my fave thrash metal band
I focus on the music more than anything. Then I worry about what the song is about later. It might be a weird way to listen to music, but as a guitar player/musician, the music will always come first...and this song is a masterpiece musically.
The cover art you were curious about is depicting the Megadeth mascot 'Vic Rattlehead' and to better understand what is going on in the image listen to the track 'Hangar 18'
If I still have your attention this far in I encourage you to listen to 'Corrosion of Conformity' a Southern Rock - genre - any tracks with vocals by Pepper Keenan. You're welcome :)
The Holy Wars first part is about global religious conflict, particularly in Israel and Northern Ireland. The second part "The Punishment Due" is about Marvel Comic's the Punisher and how he wages war against orginized crime.
The second section of the song, The Punishment Due, is based on the Marvel comic story The Punisher.
I’d love to hear Asia singing some metal 🤘😍
Megadeth are one of the most informative band in metal.. And in my view.. The best metal band on the planet.. 15 great and varied albums.. With a 16th on the way.
This song is from album number 4.. You are correct in what he said.. Take my thoughts away..
The first part is Holy Wars.. The second part is Punishment Due.. Holy Wars is about religious war, misunderstanding and difference. The second part is about the Punisher character from Marvel it covers the characters origins in the lyrics.. They fix surprisingly well together as you can hear.
Basically anything off of Rust in Peace is great.
Went and saw those dudes live last September. Been waiting for that moment all my life. Totally lost my shit when a giant Vic Rattlehead stormed the stage. Awesome show!
Dave Mustaine vocals and guitar
Marty Friedman lead guitar
Dave Ellefson bass
Nick Menza drums
This is a masterpiece this album , i Found out megadeath is really grouded even if Dave were not Shen hé wrote His best music. Hé was a Jéhovah Témoins youth, that is explaning is apocapltic songs, happy you love IT , thanks for the share.
5:00 "wage the war on organized crime."
It's about Frank Castle aka The Punisher.
First part of the song is about Holy wars happening in the Middle East, the second part is about the Marvel comic book charictor The Punisher.
This is a 2 part song....Holy Wars...and the Punishment Due. The first part he is talking about holy wars "Killing for religion, something I don't understand". the Second part is taken from the perspective the the victim's of the wars. Fantastic song, but always helps to have a lyric video on a first listen :)
The second part is about the Punisher. It was Mustaine's favorite comic book at the time.
@@TheRQpaints Finally someone else that knows this
このアルバムはメガデスの最高傑作です。
The album cover from Rust in Peace depicts the World Leads of 1990. First President Bush, the PMs of England and Japan, the President of Germany and Gorbachev of Russia. They are at 'Hanger 18' with Vic Rattlehead, Megadeth mascot, as he appears to attempt to resurrect an alien. The cover is more in line with the song titled 'Hanger 18' off the album than Holy Wars... The Punishment Due. The album title comes from the last song on the album, Rust in Peace, Polaris, a song about the perspective of a nuclear weapon.
Should watch the official video for this song
Asia, I would gladly take you to see them. My favorite band! 🤘
Yay! One of my all time favorite bands.
I saw them after this came out and we’re doing the Clash of the Titans tour with Slayer, Anthrax, and Alice In Chains opening up. Think it was 1991…
Same here. On european part of the tour tho'. Suicidal Tendencies were there instead of Alice in Chains.
@@antondzajajurca7797 right on!!! I’ve seen Suicidal way back in the day myself. I believe I’d have rather seen them over AIC, but AIC was a good opener as well…
Such an epic song. Musically it goes everywhere
My favorite album. Took me almost a year to learn how to play this on guitar
I think the next Megadeth songs to do is called
“44 Minutes”
It’s about the two Bank of America robbers in Los Angeles that attacked the police with AK-47s. You may remember the footage on TV I know it’s been a while but Megadeth wrote a song about it and it’s amazing
Being a metal fan who heard the song when it came out 30 years ago I know that they're about to be in four of them big ride as this video plays on and they're going to love it
Megadeth are on tour in 2022... 🤘🤘🔥🔥new album due out later this year - 'The sick, the dying and the dead' 💀💀
I love how you two anaylyze the song, lyric wise. Not many reactors do that. This is an important aspect of the Megadeth legend. Dave Mustaine is an intelligent human being with something relevant to say.
Great Reaction! Megadeth is in my top 10. You should react to Hanger 18 I think it's master class. So many solos
Got to see deth 4 times n they're full throttle along with crowd
Yooo this was yesterday! Allright i got some suggestions for furthering your megadeth journey:
Wanna cry? Megadeth - Promises
Top 3 all time solos? Megadeth - Tornado of souls
Blow your shit again? Megadeth - Hangar 18 (preferably back to back with Return to Hangar)
Insane live performance? Megadeth - She-wolf from Rude Awakening DVD
More megadeth!
Really enjoy watching the two of you. Excellent reactions, and it's very apparent that y'all are very much interested, and like, much of the rock music that y'all react too. I'm very familiar with what you guys react to. White male. 60 years of age. Native Texan. 😊
Amazing song you should see the video
Megadeth - Family Tree💪
I love to see black people listening and enjoying metal music makes my heart warm and brings tears to my eyes! Love you guys!
you got that black /clear G shock watch?,I been wanting that one
Yall this from 1990 member. The shit he is singing about is still very relevant today if not more than it was then. Either way though the song is f'kn great the reaction was great. Respect and love.
Would you guys check out a band called Snot...song is "Snooze Button" or some Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves, both band names. Any song from Suicidal, and check out the remix of Imigrant Song from Led Zeppelin that Infectious does. PLEASE!! 😊
For years I tried getting my black friends to listen to heavy metal and they just kept calling it devil music and I said there’s a lot of messages deep messages in these songs but they just weren’t having it so I’m glad that or there’s a lot of these reaction channels with good Black people genuinely liking some heavy metal
👍🏾 Where do we put in for request? Is there a Patreon?
Oh wow, yall went there
"Wage the war on organized crime" is what he said there.
I dont know how many times ive haard this album. Had it on cassette tape. I knew the current drummer, Dirk Verbeuren when i was a kid in France. Great guy, still cant believe it.
What's crazy is that Dave is singing AND playing rhythm. And these aren't strumming chords, this is intricate guitar playing all the way through. Epic song.
He said “ wage war on organized crime”. His vocals can be hard to make out.
as others have said in the comments, this is called "Holy Wars/The Punishment Due", the second part is the story of Frank Castle aka The Punisher, the comic book character. They killed his wife and baby etc.
The people in the background of the album art were the current leaders of the world at the time the album was released.
One of Megadeth's best right here! You gotta check out their live performance of "She-Wolf" from Rude Awakening.
The creepy guy on the cover, his name is Vic Rattlehead. He's the mascot of Megadeth. Another band who has a mascot like this is Iron Maiden. Their creepy guy is named Eddie.
Just a suggestion, pull up lyrics on your phone so you can better understand what's actually being said.
The line was "wage the war, on organized crime.
But the music video, watching them nail it on those guitars and drums is a sight to see.
Also, check out " A tu la monde ".
Great reaction you guys rock 🤘😎🤘
He was saying "next thing u know they'll take our thoughts away ." Asia was right . Cool review.
Lyrically the song has two parts. The first part is about holy wars. The second part is based on the comic book The Punisher.
The picture shows powerful leaders of countries sitting in a secret hanger looking at an alien.
'Holy wars' was about the Middle East conflict back in 1990... 'The punishment due' was inspired by Marvel comics 'The Punisher' character Frank Castle, whose family was murdered and he became the anti-hero who waged war on organized crime... 'Punisher' became 3 lame movies... 1 impressive Netflix series w/ 'Walkin Dead' actor Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle.
The album cover for the 1990 Megadeth album 'Rust in peace' was referring to the nuclear arms race during the cold war... the character is Megadeth's mascot Vic Rattlehead in 'Hangar 18', which is supposedly the location of where aliens landed in Roswell, New Mexico... the people watching are all the world leaders back in 1990 - Pres. George Bush, USSR Pres. Mikhail Gorbachev... etc.
