The 80s were a different time. In high school the girls would give my friends and me stink face for wearing our Megadeth and Metallica shirts. They thought we were scary for listening to bands like Megadeth. Young guys today don't know how good they got it to see girls today digging this stuff.
A girl I went to high school with thought I was weird for listening to Kiss. And yeah, the Megadeth/Metallica stuff, that was just way too over the top for 'em. And this was in the mid 90's!
lol dude, girls that actually like Megadeth are still rare af IF in fact they even exist!! A distorted guitar is STILL like spraying raid at the cockroaches. The girls that say they really like Megadeth are mostly into it because they think Dave Mustaine used to be so hot AND cuz they've seen some long haired studs wearing the shirts. Women's biology is STILL there preventing them from truly getting into thrash metal like any normal dude would. If you take a look at all the reaction channels, they are all fake. They just want the numbers in viewership to make money with. Do not believe that the outcast label that comes with being a metalhead doesn't apply anymore. Mainstream media has a choke hold on society now more than ever and only corrupt money can apply to become part of the brainwashing machine. it's all about business and numbers, not about passionate artists.
@@DEFKONSIXTYSIXlml Girls that like Megadeth are rare? I would think that all those female metal vocalists listen to Megadeth. Plus, this isnt some sort of brutal death metal. Its Megadeth, one of the most popular metal bands ever. I've listen to some all female death metal and grindcore bands that are 100x heavier than this. If you think that girls dont listen to metal, try listen to Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation. Those girls definitely listen to some metal, especially death metal and grindcore.
Re: the Tornado of Souls solo - I'm 55, played the guitar since I was 18, and that is the most difficult solo I've ever tried to learn, and I just can't. It is an absolute masterpiece.
@@ninjafan3455he doesn't practice enough. Old man here..I got that solo in the early 90s...difficult but not impossible...SRV solos were way harder...Jeff Beck was extreme level..at least to me anyways...guitar players learn at different levels...Im in awe of jazz and classical players but metal dudes I can tackle..everyone plays/learns at their pace...Up the Irons!
Nick Menza passed away when playing his drum's live heart attack, in his band must be at least 7 year's ago he was in his mind 50s he was an outstanding drummer.
If I'm not flailing around like an octopus or doing the windshield wipers - is it even Megadeth? The first of 'The Big Four' has been conquered.

@@beatmet2355 so my Dad was actually a drummer for over 20 years and I always admired the instrument and have wanted to play for years. Since doing these metal videos I'm now seriously contemplating taking drum lessons or just teaching myself. Its either drums or banjo that I want to learn this year
@@imaKaiya ok, I’ve never seen anyone respond to metal with their arms like that lol If you haven’t seen Steve Moore videos, he’s quite a character. His “This Drummer is at the wrong gig” is wild.
Dave and Marty wrote the best riffs and solos ever written in the history of metal and put them on this album. Even if you're not into metal this album is a reminder of what peak musicianship looks like. Edit: As a guitar player, I can tell you that Marty Friedman has a habit of writing some obscenely hard solos and this one is on top of that mountain. Even after nailing it note for note, it's impossible to copy Marty because his technique and feel are very unorthodox and he has a very recognisable and original style.
It's funny that he kind of lamented about how hard his solos were when he had to relearn them for his Megadeth appearance recently in Japan. Lol. This album is a masterpiece. I just graduated high school when Holy Wars was released as a single. Mind blowing.
I definitely want to do more album reactions to Megadeth on the channel. I think we'll do Part 2 with Peace Sells but I haven't decided yet :) Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏻
Great stuff! Thanks for checking out this masterpiece. This was a stand out reaction with great attention to detail from the radiant beautiful abiding enthusiasm you exude. Thanks for the smile. Take care.
Marty Friedman's guitar solos were so incredible that when Dave heard them it caused him to relapse on his sobriety because he couldn't believe how much better Marty was and he became very self conscious about his solos. Glad that you're listening to the original mixes. The newer re-releases were remixed and sound horrible.
@@shredfactor7 the studio does those remasters only for money, not for quality. I totally agree with you. I prefer my originals to the 2004 Emi remasters and Tbh the 2004 emi is 10x better than the latest remaster release.

Such a great and awesome album! Wait until you hear *Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?* That is the album. Edit: The *Tornado of Souls* solo is one of the greatest in the history of metal
Thank you for listening to every song of this album, that is just the best. This is my favorite metal album of all time, and I know it for as long as it exists, but it never gets normal hearing it. The quality and beauty of it makes me emotional too sometimes. It just can't be compared to anything else, it's like a class of it's own. And it's so great to see that it still makes an impact on people who hear it for the first time, even after 32 years. I can only hope that everything you listen to after this won't be disappointing, because you will be measuring it by this standard. Only Megadeth can top Megadeth, and this album is the top of Megadeth, if you know what I mean.
I only had the Beatles and Led Zeppelin when I was 20. Before MTV's first appearance in 1983 all good music was on the radio or in the record stores on fragile vinyl discs. Licorice Pizza or, "vinyl records" were like newly dropped albums. The British band, "Budgie" had a huge influence on Dave Mustane and James Hetfield of Metallica. Personally, I have been into Buidgie since 1978. Check out their album, "Impeckable" circa 1977. Metallica covered two of their songs on "Garage Days". Budgie is a three man band from Wales and have influenced some outstanding bands like Megadeth and Metallica and other great projects like mine!
They weren't wearing shirts in this vid simply because it was incredibly hot inside where they were shooting. Any 'deth fan worth their salt knows this fact 😁
In the Holy Wars video they all had shirts at 1st. But they were filming in Arizona in August in an old airplane hanger. They were ROASTING so they took their shirts off.
Saw this album live when it came out. The opening band was Testament and then Megadeth..... then Judas Priest during the painkiller tour. Dave and the fellas destroyed. Marty was unreal. Rust in Peace is simply immense. Edit> yeah tornado of souls solo is a mfkr. I play guitar..... it's legit work
This is my favorite thrash metal album of all time. The first thing I heard from them was the masterpiece peace sells but whose buying album and I have been hooked since. Interesting lyrics insane riffs great bass lines drumming out of this world and Dave’s classic snarls!
I was 15 (I think) when this album came out - honestly, it blew us all away! Still hard to beat this album for sheer musicality ❤️ loved your reaction to this album and I really like how you explore the background to the songs as well as the lyrics 👍☺️
Been listening to metal 30+ years now since I was a kid and there is definitely no metal album that can touch Rust In Peace. Many have come close but none capture the sheer talent of Mustaine and Megadeth in their prime.
@@salvatorelanni5126 top 5 in no particular order: Death - Human Sepultura - Arise Symphony X - V The New Mythology Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane And of course Rust in Peace These are all definitely in my must listen to metal albums.

This album is as close to perfect as you can get with thrash metal imo. Listening to it for the first time ~5 years ago was pretty mind blowing. I listened to Holy Wars and Tornado before hearing the rest of the album, and listened to it in it's entirety a few years later. I was surprised how much I liked the other songs on the album and now I prefer Take no Prisoners, Poison was the Cure, Five Magics, and Lucretia (which has one of the best guitar solos ever imo) to the more popular songs. I kinda made a conscious decision to become a metal head at some point in high school and didn't start listening to whole albums for a while after that, so I was sleeping on most of this album for a while. There's just so much good metal to listen to haha Btw Megadeth is part of the "Big Four" of thrash metal along with Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. Idk if you're familiar with Metallica's discography, but if you're planning on reacting to it that'd be dope. Master of Puppets is such a good album. Looking forward to more metal album reacts. Enjoying them a lot
Thank you!!! 🙏🏻 I loved this album and I'm so jealous you've seen them live!! What a show those must've been. Definitely been playing this a hell pf a lot since this video. Take no prisoners has been stuck in my head for days. 🤣
My first experience with Megadeth was when I was a kid and Dave played himself in an episode of Duck Dodgers, fighting off a Martian invasion with the power of metal 🤘🏻😤🤘🏻
I'm sure I'm not the only person to say this, but you never pause and you definitely never skip during a guitar solo. That is sacrilegious, especially during anything by megadeth. If you wanna shorten the vid, skip during a chorus, or refrain, even a bridge, but never during a solo.
I learned about the holy wars story from an Irish reaction channel. He knew people who experienced it. Apparently the crowd split into two with Catholics and Protestants on either side with a rift between
First time listening to this album when it came out was on three hits of acid. I was blown away. It was first introduction to Marty Friedman and his exotic playing. I was already into Megadeth since Killing is my business. I was a Marty Friedman fan that day till today.
greetings from New Zealand, great watching you fall in love, be emotive at the same music sections as we did as teenagers, Iron Maiden or Modern Opeth, it's awesome. The Big 4 ... love to recommend some ANTHRAX songs for that upcoming video. think you'd dig the singers, speed, sounds and lyrics.
Your comments about wanting to cry and the emotion you showedafter hearing 'Lucretia' just made me wanna dive thru the screen and give you a great big hug. I almost went to cut onions myself. LOL 💔
And yeah the solos are not easy (I teach guitar). Marty (the lead guitarist) uses a lot of unconventional scales and fingerings and has a style of bending notes that mimics eastern style stringed instruments but is incredibly difficult to emulate on guitar. I think it’s pretty important to understand that this album was probably the most amount of musicianship that we have ever seen in a commercially mainstream context (I know fans will hate me saying that megadeth is mainstream) but this shit was being blasted at highschools all over America. And in a way the musicianship doesn’t matter. The musicianship is just a means to an ends for writing insane borderline “laser guided” music. You can’t be a bad musician and try to play this. You need to be a human metronome. And yeah five magics is on another level. You can’t compare it to any other metal song yet it is iconoclastic
My first concert ever was in 1990 with Testament (another band you might enjoy) and Megadeth opening for Judas Priest at Hara Arena in Dayton, OH (location of Hangar 18 at Wright Patt Air Force Base). Soooo good. Saw them a few other times in the early 90s before I became a dad and money got tight, but later I got to see them again when they were touring again in 2010 for the 20th anniversary of this album where they played the album in its entirety. Sounded just as great 20 years later. After playing the entire album in 2010, they did a reprise at the end of the show of ...The Punishment Due. It's the best part of this great album, so going back to that part along with all the guitar solos was just glorious. A couple of things: 1. You listened to the original vocal recordings, not remasters (frankly the remastered versions suck). 2. When they played Dawn Patrol in 2010, they did indeed leave the stage so the bassist and drummer had the stage, but the vocals were recordings, not sung off stage. I'm sure he's done them live before though.
@nykterion7 they are easier. By a long shot. Just get used to his tendency. Chromatic scales, then 17-15-12 on E then B, then chromatic to pentatonic down that same section of the fretboard
@@slayer91340 yes but the accuracy in such speed is not easy at all, not for me at least.. I play some of Friedman’s solos and yes, they are something else but Mustaine’s are not that easier, not to me at least
As a guitarist of about 15 years, yes the solo for Tornado of Souls is very hard to play, but not quite in the way I think people who don't play guitar think. It is HELLA fun to play though, and you never get tired of trying it out, even if you are far from perfect at playing it
Te fuiste a lo top de lo top, de aqui para abajo con cualquier otro album. Me gusta como mueves tus manitas al ritmo de la musica,todos lo hacemos. Cheers.
It was a pleasure to rediscover this amazing album with you! Still to this day, it slaps me in the face as hard as the first time (though I admit it took time for me to adjust to Mustaine's singing). Beautiful communicative smile et nice moves: we should name them ^^
Great great memories for me. I wasn’t really into hard metal yet and I was in college. A neighbor/friend worked for the campus radio station so he would get free CD’s here and there to play on the radio station. He gave this album to me and told me I HAD to listen to it. Blew my mind. From there I got into Metallica, Pantera, etc…. Stands the rest of time also
I always have tears in my eyes while listening to the final section of rust in peace... polaris. That riff is the best ever written in metal-history. The energy always blows me away. How can you close the best metal album of all time better than with this killer-song!?
Good choice. Many will probably agree that this is the best Thrash metal album period. This is also the best Megadeth lineup and they are at the peak of thier powers here
One of my sisters friends convinced me to buy Rust In Piece shortly after it was released. She could see that I was a little intimidated but reassured me that was awesome. First time I heard the opening track I was blown away. Over time it became one of my favorite albums. Years later in 2010 I was fortunate enough to see Megadeth perform Rust In Peace in it’s entirety on the American Carnage tour, seeing that live really took me back!!!
My first introduction to Megadeth is this album in 7th grade. Early 90’s. I had just started playing guitar. A year into playing I was able to play the entire album, all guitar parts and solos. To this day, Rust in Peace is hands down my favorite Megadeth album. My favorite solo off the album is Marty Friedman’s solo in Tornado of souls. Marty Friedman is an underrated guitarist but definitely one of my favorites.
You have to do Peace Sells But Who’s Buying next. Also, Dave wrote quite a few songs about his ex that he was in a toxic relationship with. Wake Up Dead, In My Darkest Hour, Trust, She Wolf plus others. Welcome to the world of Megadeth, the best pure metal band ever. 🤘
I’ll explain the lack of shirts, Kaiya. I was a thrash metal singer and lead guitarist in the 90s. For some, the shirtless bit was just image. Actually, let me rewind and address the jeans. That was the style of jeans worn by folks who weren’t hippies, skaters, surfers, grunge rockers, or normies. Usually, I had a couple of holes in mine from where they were torn in dirt bike accidents or drunken brawls. As for the shirts, I’d typically start a show wearing not just a shirt, but also my favourite denim cutoff vest. However, playing that fast, especially under high-wattage klieg lights, makes you SWEAT. A LOT. During a typical 1.5 hr set I would go through 3 L of water-all of it lost through SWEAT, maybe 6 oz lost through urine. So by about 30 minutes into the show, layers would start coming off. I’d lose the vest at 20-30min, and the shirt by 40-60. I took a page from James Hetfield’s book and wore absorbent wristbands to keep the sweat off my guitar. Besides the energy we put into performance, Metallica, Megadeth, and I all came from very warm climates, so that was a contributing factor.
@@imaKaiya I'd go by eras. So start with the albums between 1985 to 1990.. Youve done Rust.. 3 to go.. Then do the 1992 to 1999 era.. Then 2001 to 2011.. Then the current era.. 2013 to present (new album dropping in 2 months). That's how I'd split it up personally.. There's something about going though a bands catalogue in the order of release that really gives you this greater insight into what makes the band unique and the wide sounds and subjects they cover.. Megadeth are a varied band you won't get just Rust in Peace over and over.. Lots to discover.
This was the very first CD I ever bought with my own money. Saw the video for Hanger 18 on Headbanger’s Ball and I was hooked. When I saw Vic on the cover I had to have it. I’ve seen Megadeth live twice since then ( 92’ with Suicidal Tendencies and in ‘93 opening for Aerosmith) Still one of my favorites 30 years later.
I treid to play Megadeth ('cause I considered myself a kinda good guitar player back when I was in my twnties) and well...the riffs? All right I struggled a lot but in the end I managed ti play most of them. The solos? No fucking way.... Humbling lesson.
🤣🤣 I loveee this comment. Thank you for sharing. Oh Megadeth is amazing. I can't even imagine how difficult some of these riffs were to learn! My goodness. Will definitely come back and do another deep dive into them soon. Thank you for watching and sharing!
@@imaKaiya No problem, just recollections of afternoons and weekends of cursing on the guitar trying to play those solos. Anyway, I just stumbled on your channel and liked it so much: your reactions are so cool. Plus, you covered basically my favourite bands so what more could I ask? Instant subscription. Looking forward to more metal reactions🤘🤘
If I could give this reaction 5 thumbs up I would. Nicely done again Kaiya, I'm glad you enjoyed Megadeth. I'm looking forward to the rest of the big 4 and the two honorable mentions, bay area thrash legends Testament and Exodus.

I was 15 (I think) when this album came out - honestly, it blew us all away! Still hard to beat this album for sheer musicality ❤️ loved your reaction to this album and I really like how you explore the background to the songs as well as the lyrics 👍☺️
Even Dave said that they cannot beat this album, masterpiece
Been listening to metal 30+ years now since I was a kid and there is definitely no metal album that can touch Rust In Peace. Many have come close but none capture the sheer talent of Mustaine and Megadeth in their prime.
What are the one's,that come close.
@@salvatorelanni5126 top 5 in no particular order:
Death - Human
Sepultura - Arise
Symphony X - V The New Mythology
Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane
And of course Rust in Peace
These are all definitely in my must listen to metal albums.
Absolutely huge fan of Human and Arise,something similar to Human,and from Florida,is Embalmed Existence by Resurrection,I love it,great solos too.
this came out in 91...and I still live by it!
You were blown away with excitement to discover their dynamic power (gained 25 XP). Then you mentioned that Alien is one of your favorite movies (gained 40 XP) You have a great personality (so when you give your interesting perspective, you gain 10 XP each time). I think you just went up a level and have a skill point to spend. Mad respect. First-time visit - subscribed!
This album is as close to perfect as you can get with thrash metal imo. Listening to it for the first time ~5 years ago was pretty mind blowing. I listened to Holy Wars and Tornado before hearing the rest of the album, and listened to it in it's entirety a few years later. I was surprised how much I liked the other songs on the album and now I prefer Take no Prisoners, Poison was the Cure, Five Magics, and Lucretia (which has one of the best guitar solos ever imo) to the more popular songs. I kinda made a conscious decision to become a metal head at some point in high school and didn't start listening to whole albums for a while after that, so I was sleeping on most of this album for a while. There's just so much good metal to listen to haha
Btw Megadeth is part of the "Big Four" of thrash metal along with Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. Idk if you're familiar with Metallica's discography, but if you're planning on reacting to it that'd be dope. Master of Puppets is such a good album.
Looking forward to more metal album reacts. Enjoying them a lot
I always felt the meaning behind the mascot was, a dead man sees no evil, hears no evil, and speaks no evil.
Great reaction. Seen them live 13 times. My favorite band.
Thank you!!! 🙏🏻 I loved this album and I'm so jealous you've seen them live!! What a show those must've been. Definitely been playing this a hell pf a lot since this video. Take no prisoners has been stuck in my head for days. 🤣
@@imaKaiya there's the RUST IN PEACE live dvd here on YT. they play the whole album live.
Excellent concert video for megadeth is she wolf 4 min drum solo plus guitars and bass wow love it
"That solo..." YES. That solo. 😆 And yes, it's INCREDIBLY difficult. Great video!
My first experience with Megadeth was when I was a kid and Dave played himself in an episode of Duck Dodgers, fighting off a Martian invasion with the power of metal
🤘🏻😤🤘🏻
Great reaction! Now should react to what some believe is better than this album. And that is "Peace Sells"
Thanks for listening to the original instead of remaster. So much better sound in my opinion.
I'm sure I'm not the only person to say this, but you never pause and you definitely never skip during a guitar solo. That is sacrilegious, especially during anything by megadeth. If you wanna shorten the vid, skip during a chorus, or refrain, even a bridge, but never during a solo.
I learned about the holy wars story from an Irish reaction channel. He knew people who experienced it. Apparently the crowd split into two with Catholics and Protestants on either side with a rift between
Big fan of the 'stopping the song every ten seconds' method
First time listening to this album when it came out was on three hits of acid. I was blown away. It was first introduction to Marty Friedman and his exotic playing. I was already into Megadeth since Killing is my business. I was a Marty Friedman fan that day till today.
greetings from New Zealand, great watching you fall in love, be emotive at the same music sections as we did as teenagers, Iron Maiden or Modern Opeth, it's awesome.
The Big 4 ... love to recommend some ANTHRAX songs for that upcoming video. think you'd dig the singers, speed, sounds and lyrics.
Your comments about wanting to cry and the emotion you showedafter hearing 'Lucretia' just made me wanna dive thru the screen and give you a great big hug. I almost went to cut onions myself. LOL 💔
I thought I was the only one who did the "keep-the-gnats-off-my-tater-salad" dance.
First experience with this album was amazing. Kinda took me to the next level of rock/metal back then. Great memories ❤
And yeah the solos are not easy (I teach guitar). Marty (the lead guitarist) uses a lot of unconventional scales and fingerings and has a style of bending notes that mimics eastern style stringed instruments but is incredibly difficult to emulate on guitar. I think it’s pretty important to understand that this album was probably the most amount of musicianship that we have ever seen in a commercially mainstream context (I know fans will hate me saying that megadeth is mainstream) but this shit was being blasted at highschools all over America. And in a way the musicianship doesn’t matter. The musicianship is just a means to an ends for writing insane borderline “laser guided” music. You can’t be a bad musician and try to play this. You need to be a human metronome.
And yeah five magics is on another level. You can’t compare it to any other metal song yet it is iconoclastic
I love watching younger generations discover the big four. So thanks
Megadeth is the godfather of the big 4.
Rust In Peace is in my top 3 metal albums of all time.
Actually Metallica
@@austinbramer558 no. Metallica is more respected as a whole in the metal and rock scene; but in thrash everyone knows Megadeth is better.
My first concert ever was in 1990 with Testament (another band you might enjoy) and Megadeth opening for Judas Priest at Hara Arena in Dayton, OH (location of Hangar 18 at Wright Patt Air Force Base). Soooo good. Saw them a few other times in the early 90s before I became a dad and money got tight, but later I got to see them again when they were touring again in 2010 for the 20th anniversary of this album where they played the album in its entirety. Sounded just as great 20 years later. After playing the entire album in 2010, they did a reprise at the end of the show of ...The Punishment Due. It's the best part of this great album, so going back to that part along with all the guitar solos was just glorious.
A couple of things: 1. You listened to the original vocal recordings, not remasters (frankly the remastered versions suck). 2. When they played Dawn Patrol in 2010, they did indeed leave the stage so the bassist and drummer had the stage, but the vocals were recordings, not sung off stage. I'm sure he's done them live before though.
Yes..... Marty Friedman's solos are hard to play.....but damn, they are beautiful
I get what you’re saying but you think Mustaine’s are easier to play? No, they’re not.
@nykterion7 they are easier. By a long shot. Just get used to his tendency. Chromatic scales, then 17-15-12 on E then B, then chromatic to pentatonic down that same section of the fretboard
@@slayer91340 yes but the accuracy in such speed is not easy at all, not for me at least.. I play some of Friedman’s solos and yes, they are something else but Mustaine’s are not that easier, not to me at least
As a guitarist of about 15 years, yes the solo for Tornado of Souls is very hard to play, but not quite in the way I think people who don't play guitar think. It is HELLA fun to play though, and you never get tired of trying it out, even if you are far from perfect at playing it
This album came out in the 90s
Te fuiste a lo top de lo top, de aqui para abajo con cualquier otro album.
Me gusta como mueves tus manitas al ritmo de la musica,todos lo hacemos. Cheers.
It was a pleasure to rediscover this amazing album with you!
Still to this day, it slaps me in the face as hard as the first time (though I admit it took time for me to adjust to Mustaine's singing).
Beautiful communicative smile et nice moves: we should name them ^^
Tornado of Souls is arguably the best solo in metal. Glad u noticed it.
If there is a better metal album , I haven’t heard it !
Please dont cut the songs, specially the solos
That's a masterpiece, one of 3 you HAVE TO listen to: R.I.P. - PEACE SELLS - COUNTDOWN
Great great memories for me. I wasn’t really into hard metal yet and I was in college. A neighbor/friend worked for the campus radio station so he would get free CD’s here and there to play on the radio station. He gave this album to me and told me I HAD to listen to it. Blew my mind. From there I got into Metallica, Pantera, etc…. Stands the rest of time also
I always have tears in my eyes while listening to the final section of rust in peace... polaris. That riff is the best ever written in metal-history. The energy always blows me away. How can you close the best metal album of all time better than with this killer-song!?
Deliciously Good!
Good choice. Many will probably agree that this is the best Thrash metal album period. This is also the best Megadeth lineup and they are at the peak of thier powers here
Dave was high as fuk, played Belfast and riped the Irish flag up on stage,I was there.... witnessed it!
If you look at the skull, {known as Vic Rattlehead) you'll notice the classic Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil trope.
One of my sisters friends convinced me to buy Rust In Piece shortly after it was released. She could see that I was a little intimidated but reassured me that was awesome. First time I heard the opening track I was blown away. Over time it became one of my favorite albums. Years later in 2010 I was fortunate enough to see Megadeth perform Rust In Peace in it’s entirety on the American Carnage tour, seeing that live really took me back!!!
My first introduction to Megadeth is this album in 7th grade. Early 90’s. I had just started playing guitar. A year into playing I was able to play the entire album, all guitar parts and solos. To this day, Rust in Peace is hands down my favorite Megadeth album. My favorite solo off the album is Marty Friedman’s solo in Tornado of souls. Marty Friedman is an underrated guitarist but definitely one of my favorites.
Never edit out part of the best solo of all time.
I think it was because of copyright
You have to do Peace Sells But Who’s Buying next. Also, Dave wrote quite a few songs about his ex that he was in a toxic relationship with.
Wake Up Dead, In My Darkest Hour, Trust, She Wolf plus others.
Welcome to the world of Megadeth, the best pure metal band ever. 🤘
I’ll explain the lack of shirts, Kaiya. I was a thrash metal singer and lead guitarist in the 90s. For some, the shirtless bit was just image. Actually, let me rewind and address the jeans. That was the style of jeans worn by folks who weren’t hippies, skaters, surfers, grunge rockers, or normies. Usually, I had a couple of holes in mine from where they were torn in dirt bike accidents or drunken brawls. As for the shirts, I’d typically start a show wearing not just a shirt, but also my favourite denim cutoff vest. However, playing that fast, especially under high-wattage klieg lights, makes you SWEAT. A LOT. During a typical 1.5 hr set I would go through 3 L of water-all of it lost through SWEAT, maybe 6 oz lost through urine. So by about 30 minutes into the show, layers would start coming off. I’d lose the vest at 20-30min, and the shirt by 40-60. I took a page from James Hetfield’s book and wore absorbent wristbands to keep the sweat off my guitar.
Besides the energy we put into performance, Metallica, Megadeth, and I all came from very warm climates, so that was a contributing factor.
The final shit. Pretty much sums it up. Not much can compare to this masterful songwriting and execution.
You could do this for each of their other 14 albums and you'd have an audience.
Challenge accepted :) what album should we do next for Megadeth?
Peace sells
@@imaKaiya def the second album , peace sells
@@imaKaiya I'd go by eras. So start with the albums between 1985 to 1990.. Youve done Rust.. 3 to go..
Then do the 1992 to 1999 era..
Then 2001 to 2011..
Then the current era.. 2013 to present (new album dropping in 2 months).
That's how I'd split it up personally.. There's something about going though a bands catalogue in the order of release that really gives you this greater insight into what makes the band unique and the wide sounds and subjects they cover.. Megadeth are a varied band you won't get just Rust in Peace over and over.. Lots to discover.
React to peace sells but... whos buying?
This was the very first CD I ever bought with my own money. Saw the video for Hanger 18 on Headbanger’s Ball and I was hooked. When I saw Vic on the cover I had to have it. I’ve seen Megadeth live twice since then ( 92’ with Suicidal Tendencies and in ‘93 opening for Aerosmith) Still one of my favorites 30 years later.
take me back to the 80's
Rest in peace Nick menza the former drummer nicest guy I ever met from clash of the titans
DAVE MUSTAINE IS GOD.
Normally we don't pause or clip in the middle of a solo
I treid to play Megadeth ('cause I considered myself a kinda good guitar player back when I was in my twnties) and well...the riffs? All right I struggled a lot but in the end I managed ti play most of them. The solos? No fucking way....
Humbling lesson.
🤣🤣 I loveee this comment. Thank you for sharing. Oh Megadeth is amazing. I can't even imagine how difficult some of these riffs were to learn! My goodness. Will definitely come back and do another deep dive into them soon. Thank you for watching and sharing!
@@imaKaiya No problem, just recollections of afternoons and weekends of cursing on the guitar trying to play those solos. Anyway, I just stumbled on your channel and liked it so much: your reactions are so cool. Plus, you covered basically my favourite bands so what more could I ask? Instant subscription. Looking forward to more metal reactions🤘🤘
I played this probably everyday for a year, when this first came out.
I love your reaction, the best that I saw. This is my Favorite album of all time, the first time that I heard RIP was like auditory orgasm for me.
Peace sell is my favorite.... wake up dead, the conjuring, my last words, all classic.
If I could give this reaction 5 thumbs up I would. Nicely done again Kaiya, I'm glad you enjoyed Megadeth. I'm looking forward to the rest of the big 4 and the two honorable mentions, bay area thrash legends Testament and Exodus.
The singer for Megadeth used to play guitar for Metallica!!!
I'm in the process of learning the solo from Tornado of Souls- getting fairly close to having it.
I can verify, there's some messed up shit going on 😂
Yaaaasss!! Congrats! Im proud of you lol ❤❤❤ thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@imaKaiya Thanks, was a good time 👍🏻
You are so high or drunk or something. I love it!
Marty Friedman’s solo sauce is the sauciest sauce of all saucy sauces! Needless to say…he will melt your face!
Welcome to the world of metalheads dear
Masterpiece.
