I think I played this for you once....Either way, THANK YOU!
Doors Closing Slowly by The Manic Street Preachers. Its also called Doors Slowly Closing. Please do a video on that song! Cheers!
I've been struggling massively lately, my mental and emotional issues are messing with me
I wish you all the best and take good care of yourself 😊 💕
@@paulchristie8452 ty sweetheart. It's really hard for me with a combination of treatment resistant depression, crippling anxiety disorder and gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia and dealing with an abusive relationship in the not so distant past. Altogether making Mt mind a hellscape
Dave's voice is a love it or hate it thing. I love it, he's not a singer, he's a performer of his lyrics, he delivers them rather than sings them. No-one sneers and snarls and spits out venom quite like Dave.
this a very strengths-based way to approach Dave's voice. I love it
Or rolls their Rs as well
@@matthews4949you hear about johnny rotten
Nailed it! I love their music but Dave's voice? Not so much!
My opinion is this: Dave Mustain is essentially the 'Evil/Mirror Universe' version of James Hetfield when it comes to singing.
James Hetfield is OBVIOUSLY the more talented musician (James can play Bass, Lead, Drums, and Piano), while I think Dave Mustain is OBVIOUSLY a better singer.
TRUE, Dave Mustain has a higher-pitched singing voice with both more 'gravel/grit' as well as more forward placement (or 'nasal tonality' I think it's called, but I could be wrong about the term), but at the same time Dave has a MUCH more natural and fluid Vibrato in regular 'singing voice' then James Hetfield EVER had, and it's always been that way even back in the early 80's when Dave Mustain was one of the ORIGINAL members of Metallica (alongside with Ron 'McGooney' McGovney, who was the ORIGINAL Bassist before the Late Cliff Burton joined the band).
Just my own personal opinion anyway.
Oh man, I love megadeth. I had this video recorded on VHS back in the day. Probably still have that tape in storage somewhere.
Not sure if you’ve heard this song before but “Where’s my love” by SYML is pretty good. Totally worth listening to. The music video is worth talking about as well. Especially how well it goes with the lyrics.
Great job with this reaction! I feel you nailed it! I love how Megadeth has such good stories behind their music!
One of my favorite solos from Dave Mustaine 🤟
So me .....what's next
Dave's autobiography is a gem of a read. Tragic, funny as hell and in the end uplifting. He's known a few inner demons in his time
I have an autographed copy of Dave's autobiography. I agree with you, it's a great read.
@@VincentValentine33 I have an autographed copy as well. Agreed it's a great read. I went to the book signing nearest to me and Dave drew the anarchy sign with his auto.
what a great album! Dave has such fundamental problems that its a miracle he survived himself. A creative genious caught inside a burning brain.
Lol it's GENIUS
It is a shame that Dave is an epic, world-renowned douchenozzle.
Yes, it's an older song. From the 5th album in1992 . One of their biggest records. This was the 3rd single from it. The album also includes Symphony of Destruction, Skin o' My Teeth, Foreclosure of a Dream, and the title track Countdown to Extinction.
MAH MAN. A fellow old Megadeth fan, love it!
I was born in 80, and Countdown to Extinction got me into Metal.
@@VincentValentine331978 for me my friends
Don't forget Captive Honour, High Speed Dirt, Psychotron and Architecture of Aggression
@@sirsackdragger4686 I'm going to listen to Countdown at work, tomorrow
I love Megadeth more than Metallica. Been supporting both from the beginning 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻
I too. I started listening to them as a child lol
Saw them live the first time in the 80s when I was probably not old enough to go to the concert but I did.
While I am in no way attempting refight the whole Dave vrs Lars/James argument the appeal of Mega over Meta can often be linked to the pain of both rejection and betrayal that Dave felt ….
I always remember is comment in “behind the music” ….. what no warnings, no second chance…. and the insult of being given a BUS ticket back to the west coast, only to find out that the reason for the bus ticket was because they had already spent most of their money buying a PLANE ticket for his replacement …..
Megadeth is Metallica’s angry, slightly drunker brother. I love both👊🏽⚡️
Same....
I do as well! All the way back to the Megadeth/Metallica battle for supremacy..haha!
This song has always been my favorite Megadeth song. I first saw the video on Headbanger's Ball back in the day and ended up buying the album with my allowance. I was about 12 and have been a hardcore metalhead ever since.
Hello me, meet the real me....
Your perspective is your reality.
Your facial expressions on this one were priceless Amanda.
Hands down the best reaction/breakdown of this song I've seen yet. Thanks for actually listening to songs and the messages in them.
I've never deep dived into this song, just enjoyed the musicianship and the amazing music video.
I love Megadeth, Dave Mustaine is a great guitarist, and many hate his vocals but I enjoy his vocal style.
Mustaine is the best vocalist for Megadeth. I admit that it took me a long time to learn to appreciate him on their earlier albums (and live recordings), but I really loved this era. Rust in peace is one of the best albums ever made, and I was really hooked with the "countdown" when it came out.
@@NightwishArena Dave's not perfect. There's few albums that shouldn't have been made. But overall I think Megadeth has a better album catalog than Metallica. I'm not bashing Metallica by any means.
@@deathjoker666 True. IMO Metallica kind of lost their appetite after justice. Black album was still great, but it was very easy compared to three previous albums.
I was a huge Metallica fan myself. When I first heard Justice, I needed to buy that on LP right away. And when I got CD player few months later, I bought all Metallica albums on CD, and started to wait the black album...which is the last Metallica album I ever bought. And when I started to play guitar, those 5 Metallica albums were the ones I always trained with, and eventually played them thru.
Megadeth was always a bit too hard for me, especially because I loved to play solos, and their solos are a lot harder than Metallica's.
@@NightwishArena The Black album was when they went mainstream. Nothing wrong with that but their sound changed. I also think they're best albums were their first four, Black album being good.
@@deathjoker666 Totally agree. I’ve always thought this.
The reason I’ve been a fan since the late 80s as a teen was because Dave Mustaine is a brilliant lyric writer. And a monster on the guitar.
Awesome reaction Amanda ❤️ Megadeth rulez.
damn.. you broke down this old song perfectly :)
I don't care what any fu**er says Dave Mustaine's voice is freaking AWESOME with his voice there is Megadeth ☢️☠️🔥💯‼️
I have always loved his unusual style of singing, almost with his mouth closed or clenched teeth
it’s so unlike the way most people sing. It sounds stressed and angry in a different way
This is such an incredible song. It captures the frenzy that the negative thoughts can create in our heads. I spent more than 30 of my 55 years on this planet su1c1dal to a greater, or lesser degree, and one of the things that got me through that dark epoch in my life was metal. Songs like this that told me that I wasn't alone in feeling this way. I truly enjoy singing this song, and Fade To Black at karaoke because I understand them on a visceral level. I looked into the abyss, and somehow made it back out.
Metal and rock is a life saver
The way Dave portrayed psychosis in this song is almost uncanny. It’s a very introverted and intelligent song, and a brilliant and masterful release of emotion.
This one has always been one of my favorite songs
You have hit the nail on the head with this one and you’re statement.
You made me strive. I can never repay you. Love you so much. I have been hurt so much by women. For me seeing not all women are bad. Thank you. I have lived homless. I wish i could sub to your patreon. Gone Away from the Offspring. I miss my wife and daughter so much. Down in a hole i lost my soul. I would love to fly. But my wings have been so denied
I love how horrified you looked during the instrumental break/solo. That means the band did their job of conveying the raw emotion and painted and image without words.
Dave really has a story to tell. Being a founding member of Metallica and then getting kicked out for being drunk and fighting with fans in the audiance. It was a huge wake up call for him. He has since got his act together and created a fantastic band in Megadeath. But the scars are still there to remind him of what he lost and what might have been.
Hindsight is always 20/20 but looking back its still a bit fuzzy……
He sees all the mistakes in life he has made, he knows them to be mistakes, but is still does not understand WHY he did them….. at least that is what this line has always meant to me.
While i an in now way claiming this is the worst thing i have ever done, oddly this is a guilty memory of mine i have never gotten past:
It was 7th or 8th grade and after getting off the bus there is a huge crowd outside of the front door of the school waiting for the doors to open. As i walk through the crowd a class mate that while i wasnt close friends with i was up to this point i was on good terms with started teasing me and mocking me in front of HIS friends. Enraged i grabbed one his books and frisbee tossed it across the square, causing the front cover to tear completely off…… Im sure he got in trouble for it, but i never did…. I can clear remember doing it, remember being mad, remember being instantly sorry, but utterly confused as to WHY it made me so mad….
I've been there before where I snapped without knowing why. Once we're aware, we can start watching for triggers and learning skills to diffuse the anger. I've learned a lot about myself in examing my reactions to situations and grown immensely because of it.
Your breakdown of this one in terms of lirics it was fantastic as no one did it before Amanda always it's a pleasure heard your thoughts about this type of songs kudos
Great reaction! I had a chuckle at the hair comment. I don't think Dave Mustaine's hair has changed much in the past 40 years. Maybe a bit grayer. :)
The album it's on, Countdown to Extinction, was one of the first CDs I bought after getting out of college in the summer of '92. Fast forward 20 years and they're doing an anniversary tour for it, playing the album in its entirety. Made me feel old realizing how fast those 20yrs went by, and now just over 30yrs.
Really like the intro quote you gave, thank you for that!
If I remember correctly (I'm probably wrong here) Dave Mustaine was sober for the second time in and around the recording/writing of this album. I usually associate this song with my own demons, mostly the constant gaslighting from my exwife.
Gaslighting is one of the hardest things to deal with!
I have been involved in the mental health system since I was 13, i know here on the west coast it's all medication management and being told you need pumped full of anti psychotic medication that does nothing but make your mental health worse, anyone that wants to know how to get rid of these awful issues get a hold of me, no amount of trauma or stress is worth wanting to end your life, I will give you the truth and the way if you can listen and absorb the understanding of which I speak, I am a survivor of suicide many times over, you are never alone or by yourself I promise you
Great song 🎵, I LOVE THIS VIDEO, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME OUT, PRETTY SURE IT WAS IN HEAVY ROTATION on the radio and MTV. Always loved MEGADETH
Can not be appreciated until it is heard at higher volumes!
Loved the thoughtful commentary ❤! Subscribed
I can definitely relate....been a fan for many, many year's.
Hugs to you Amanda!
So the title of this song reminds me A LOT of Hollywood Undead's "Bullet" another song about mental health I think you may like! Would highly recommend it if you haven't heard it before
While some of these songs are sad of course.. always good to know that there are those out there willing to talk about it in popular culture. :) Good watch Amanda!
Your audio sounds great!
I dont understand putting suicide survivor in the title, it looks more like a way to pull in views, than actually fighting the good fight
It shows what perspective I'm coming from and the purpose of the channel right away. If you poke around the comments you'll see how much this community has helped people. 💖
That's my point it's in all the video names I just can't understand
\m/ Megadeth \m/ If you dive into their catalog, you will find so many gems.
how is this song connected to suicide. This song is about mental issues.
Suicide is a symptom of mental illness.
You shoukd save the commentary for the end of the song.
I don't have that great of memory!
Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction album is full on anti political. Sweating Bullets is a great song about loosing and finding himself in his own mind. Psychotron is a great supportive song to Sweating Bullets. However, High Speed Dirt may need some attention.
I'm new to your channel Amanda and loving it. It is helping me cope, confront and close my issues, especially my grief. Thank you!
Sweetheart I think you need some Japanese metal. Happy metal.
Female metal. Might I suggest .
Nemophila..rise. revive.
Band-maid..manners/black hole live
Hanabie. We love sweets
BABYMETAL. .pa pa ya live.🤘😎🤘
Check out the 2001 song Exile by Slayer, it is about commiting suicide to escape the government.
I know this is off topic of this video, but it's been a little over a year since my wife of 23 years, 25 as a couple, passed away. My 52nd birthday is coming up on July 9 and I was hoping you would do a dedication to Kerri Fleming with the song Remember Me This Way by Jordan Hill? I would greatly appreciate it. I haven't commented or made any love chats in awhile, but I am still out here supporting and appreciating what you do.
I apologize for not seeing this comment until after your birthday!
@@MentalAmanda It's ok, I know by the sheer volume of messages you receive it was difficult to get mine and I appreciate that you were able to notice it at all.
Not only is this just an absolutely masterfully crafted song, but the music video was a work of art. I had listened to Megadeth prior to this, though I was still pretty young, but this song made me a a die hard fan and I went out and bought every single album they had put out up to that point and a couple after. They are so amazing.
this is what Dave Mustaine says about this song:
"I wrote that about myself. It was pointed out to me that I'm kind of schizophrenic and that I live inside my head. Which is something I don't subscribe to, but I enjoyed the theory nonetheless. I think all of us are sweating bullets all the time. Society's a joke right now, and people are getting more and more hostile. When you think about having an evil twin or schizophrenia, I think a lot of us are schizo, because we live inside our heads. There's someone we all confer with; it's called our conscience. Some people cannot control their other side; it takes them over. Everybody has that psychotic side. Everyone has a thing that will make them snap."
This songs is my ex-wife's theme song... she actually has Dissociative Identity Disorder, aka Multiple Personality Disorder. (And yes, she's the one who proclaimed it to be so...)
The Song is about Schizophrenia...
And having Multiple personalities...
I grew up in a mental health facility in Colorado in the 80s the song as about schizophrenia and having multiple personalities
One day you too will know my pain. Remember, he’s talking to himself. He himself doesn’t know his own pain. Just found your channel. New sub here. Looking forward to a deep dive into myself through you.
Haha, you've picked the wrong band and the wrong song if your worried a out mental health. Sweating bullets is a special song. True insanity captivated in a song. "If the war inside my head, takes a day off, ill be dead..."
Always like watching your reactions. Keep the awareness going. I have a new song for you. Falling In Reverse - Last Resort (Reimagined). Gives me chills every time.
Still one of my favorite songs and videos by Megadeth that I wrote a poem called me and myself many years ago
This is fun I've been through all that almost to the point of no return but made it through it almost like being tested like lifting the heaviest Stone being able to put it on the Shelf and the weight of it all diminishes like a vapor and everything's clear again thanks Amanda I have to pick up a couple of Megadeth LPS to add to my ever-growing LP collection I also play take care and thanks for doing this there must have been a time that you never thought you would be doing this
They had a song about surviving suicide on that same album. It is called "Skin of my Teeth" .
I Love everything about this video, your take on the lyrics and video. Great job, Thank You
Ya know, I'm so used to looking at this video as comical in a way because his expressions give me a silly vibe and his voice is kind of cartoony in this a bit, I don't think I know anyone that looked at this seriously like you did as if someone with a mental problem. And seeing how you were reacting kind of hit me a little of how maybe the way he portrayed this song was comical on purpose to alieviate some of the paranoia that he was experiencing. Because when this song was written, the people that listened to this song are not the ones that would take this kind of thing seriously. I think that it's kind of wild how you took this reaction and gave it a negative spin (not like a complaining negative, but for what the song is *actually* about), just for the sake of people that may actually be dealing with said issues. Weird how in my 20-25+years of listening to specifically this track, it's never dawned on me that it was worded so chaotically and dark. Guess the youth brain never analyzed this song for its intent. Wild.
Sister's name is Amanda Dad loved the Song Amanda sung by Don Williams and Waylon Jennings. I recommend you do a Reaction to that song. Hence why my sister ended up with the name Amanda. This song is about Dave dealing with his Demons.
Nothing could negatively affect that face. Lol
He does still have his hair. My son has his hair too. Makes me wonder if my ex snuck backstage sometime, while we were there. 😂😂
Growing up in the height of the cold war these lyrics are easy to interpret. Bu5 hey, every song says something different to each person yhat listens to it. I wrote a song a few yrs ago about my mother's death and everybody thought it was a suicide song. Very nice video❤❤
You might like "Ghosts" by Drive Thru Society, a great song thats about being a suicide survivor. Love your videos!
Listen to High Speed Dirt by Megadeth. That's literally a song about suicide. Jumping to your death
Dave and Megadeth is one of the best bands!!! You shold listen to Dark Funeral! They have two songs that were my go to get to songs and feel good songs when going throuh a divorce and all of that crap. Listen to... My funeral and In My Dreams. If these are your feelgood songs... where are u then...
I've always felt like Dave was channeling Bob Dylan on this one.
Seriously, tell me you can't hear Ol' Bob in this...
hey there, so I just came across your channel and Im not sure if you already know this but Metallica has song on And Justice For All called Dyers Eve which is, essentially, an open suicide letter to the parents
First time watching. Very interesting channel. Very much impressed. I too am a su!cide survivor
I saw them perform this song a couple years ago it was great
Say hello to my evil twin😘
You also could just take it literally.... Time in jail for nothing but tweaking 😒
you should listen to the full version of this track, sometimes video clips are cut, all the intro is missing here
i randomly came across your channel today, i am very familiar with Megadeth and have seen them several times. This has always been one of my favorite videos and songs of there's. I am a recently recovering alcoholic of 25 years, i am on day 107 of my sobriety. This all came about after 2 tragedies in the last year and a half. I lost my mother at age 71 in Nov of 2021 followed by my sister who was 53 when she passed in March of this year. That was when i knew i had to make a change. I had to think of my brother, my nephew, my son, my 2 grandchildren. There are many more layers to my story leading back to my childhood but that's another story. I enjoyed your breaking down of the video which like i said i have always loved. I have seen this video so many times but watching on your channel was the first time i cried. Again Thank You for your reaction, your views and your willingness to help others, it seems sometimes compassion and understanding are in short supply these days, this world needs more people like you in it. Subscribed!
Proud of you for your 107 days! Keep going!
I dont know if you know this, but... the line in this song "black tooth grin" is where Dimebag Darrell got the name for his famous cocktail. Dimebag was the guitarist, and one of the founding members of Pantera. He was also one helluva nice guy. On December 8 2004, "Dime" and his brother Vinnie Paul were playing a gig in Ohio with their new band Damageplan. A distraught man with a gun got on stage and shot and killed Dimebag. Several others were also killed trying to help Dime. Lets all raise a Black Tooth Grin to the greatest guitarist on the planet and the hero's who tried to save him. RIP Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott
Megadeth is among my top three favorite bands, but have you heard the song Low by Tech N9ne? Was one of the first songs I heard from him and also think the one that got me hooked.
You really need to hear and do a reaction to ( im not your suicide) by michael sweet from stryper.its a really great song both lyrically n musically,,very underrated!
BTW the line "A man's got to know his limitations" is from the second Dirty Harry movie.
Dealing with all the voices in your head. And they're all fighting to domination.
Its ok we weren't looking at your face anyway 😁
Props your diggin some good metal 🤘🎉
This song and the reaction to it, seem like a great connection to Carl Jung.
Magic the Gathering card....Descent into Madness quote on the card reads 'The stairs lead down in both directions'.
If you want to listen to one of the best tear jerker songs, listen to The Joke by Brandi Carlile.
I have severe hearing loss, so I tend to read lips, didn't notice the surgery, as dental work tends to numb the lips and mouth area.
You should do a video reacting to A Secret Place by Megadeth.
-Considered the theme of this channel, I’m surprised that “Skin O’ My Teeth” hasn’t been covered.
-The talk about “You can subdue but never tame” is something that I think I can relate to. My brain is quite overactive. (It’s not really a brag. My ADHD may play a role in it.) If I have a thought, I think about it a lot. For half of my life, I have experienced Seasonal Depression. Near the end of October, all I would think about is “It’s almost November” which is when it starts. As soon as November hits, that’s when everything would fall apart. My brain would go into overtime with not wanting to do anything. At one point, I wanted to just be locked in a room until February because I didn’t want to be around people. That includes friends and family because I didn’t want to bother them.
Last December, I attended the first concert I had been to in, to use a toned down version of the phrase that I borrowed from “Deadpool”” “Damn, I’m old. years. I had become a huge fan of this band since the start of that year and had wanted to see them in March of that year before they had to pull out. In late August, tickets for the American tour went on sale and I got my ticket. After that, I was excited. At times, my thoughts would go from excitement to jokes about how I’ll probably be older than everyone there and that included the band. I’d argue with myself over whether or not this was a good idea. However, I reminded myself that I already bought a ticket.
Come the end of October, I realized it was almost November. However, for the first time in years, there wasn’t the feeling of dread that I’d had for years. I was excited because it was almost December which was something I hadn’t thought for years. I had the greatest night I had had in a long time that saw me get 3 hours of sleep the night before followed by a 3 hour drive from Charleston, SC to Charlotte, NC, a show with four bands that lasted about 4 hours total, and another 3-hour drive that saw me get home at 2:30AM. Afterwards, I was even happier than before. I had subdued my Seasonal Depression last year. However, I understand that I probably haven’t tamed it.
have you listened to hangar 18 from megadeth until now?
How exactly can you be a suicide survivor? Aren’t we all technically?
Mustaine is a master songwriter ...brilliant band ..Great reaction 👍
The future Dr. Ruth of mental health❤❤❤Much love,my friend!
My therapy music
Parkway Drive - Wishing Wells
Coolest music video ever.
Of mice and men is another great megadeth song you might like.
Metallica just ok Megadeth much better but if you like Metallica more that’s ok also.
He expresses true anger in his songs sometimes which gives it that extra punch he's not acting very real emotion in his lyrics and singing style.
The story in this song is a guy was convicted of a murder he didn't commit and sent to a mental institution. Later thry caight the real killer and let the guy out but by the time they did his treatment in the mental institution had driven him insane.
but the other MEs are litterally him wanting him to do drugs ,,, he is talking about HIM
Doors Closing Slowly by The Manic Street Preachers
ive pretty much given up on all hope and have nothing to look for . my family has blacksheep me and whats nothing to do with me. i barley have any friends but dont really want any . i dont want a relationship ive tried just same old thing. so its just one of those things that if i dont wake up one morning no one will really miss me and my family most likely will never know . i not going to do anything to myself , just dont care.
Hey. Don’t give up. There is always hope. Many times that’s all there is. Something that was thrown at me was “ don’t stop 5 minutes before the miracle happens. Personally I’ve been down to the 1 minute mark a few times. There was that one thing, that became everything in that moment. Don’t miss it.
@@donaldstefanovich8124 for what? no one cares, no one worries about me. ive lived my life but most of nothing to show for it , no kids , no familiy that cares, no gf , no woman wants anything to do with me , they meet me and then i am ghosted. they talk to me and never try. so what has this world come too.
I spent my teens, twenties and half my thirties in toxic relationships that were the "same ol' thing." I am just now finding my first happy and healthy relationship. My surviving family (I was an only child and lost my parents) disowned me years ago except one cousin and his mom. We make our own family. You're part of ours now and we're here for you.
I have been ghosted or rejected by countless men. Every one of them brought me closer to the happy, healthy relationship I'm in now. I care if your light goes out. I will now worry about you.
right to go insane is another great megadeth song that is about a mental health crisis based off a real event. man in a bulldozer, don't need to say more i imagine lol
My ex wife got me backstage to meet him, took.a picture with Dave, of course she took the picture
Welcome to what most military veterans live everyday fucking day....every fucking hour....every fucking minute....welcome...
💔
You want a real mental health video react to Megadeth Family Tree......
Dave Mustaine struggled for years with the worst drugs mixed
