The lead guitarist in i ain't superstitious is Chris Poland, not mustaine. He was in a jazz fusion band before he joined Megadeth along with the drummer
This is the album I go to the most when it comes to Megadeth. The tone, the foreboding atmosphere, the dirty riffs. It just does it for me. Almost a 10/10 album.
@@kirawasareactor Definitely one of mine too.👍 ...I often spend an inordinate amount of time trying to imagine what Metallica's catalogue would be like today if he had stayed with them.😂 *...but then we wouldn't have Megadeth!🤩*
rust in peace is better in every way except the atmosphere that's going on like in Good Mourning/Black Friday, Wake up Dead, Bad omen and My last words.
I enjoy Megadeth but respect for giving it the number that was what you really thought / according to your rating system and not just bumping it up to keep people happy 👍
One of the greatest groups ever. Hands-down. Peace Sells in an all-time classic of metal. This album and Killing Is My Business are probably the two angriest Megadeth albums, and it lends well to Dave's vocals and the guitars.
I liked Megadeth in short bursts on their earlier albums. But it wasn’t until Rust In Peace that all the pieces fell into place for me. The best and tightest line up they ever had and the writing and playing is 10 out of 10. Still to this day top 5 metal album of all time. Then the following album undid all that and they went super commercial in both production and song writing. Still had some good songs but the frenetic intensity from Rust In Peace was gone.
This album feels all over the place. There are elements of genius here and there, but it feels like a collection of ides. Albeit, great ideas. So far, so good... So what! is my favorite, because they get a better hold of the chaos and sound more cohesive. Rust in piece is on a different level for metal music, not just Megadeth. Great reaction!
The overall performance doesn't suffer for it though. And given Dave's age at the time this is incredible. Really shows how artistically bankrupt we are today compared to then
This is in my top 3 favorite Megadeth albums, maybe even number one for me. Its a tie between their debut as well as Rust In Peace which is regardered as their greatest album of all time, similar to how Master Of Puppets is regarded as Metallica's greatest. I'm glad you liked a bunch of songs from it! I agree that it has a very halloweenish ambience and vibe to it. It always reminds me of fall. Their debut and third album also gives off this spooky sounding vibe that was characteristic of early megadeth that set them apart from other thrash bands, along with the unique jazz fusion infleunce. The reason you probably felt thrown off by I Aint Superstitious is because you're right that it's actually a cover and not an original. It's a cover from an old blues song by Willie Dixon and Howlin Wolf. It was then covered by Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart and then by Megadeth where they sped up the blues and made it thrash. I really recommend listening to the Jeff Beck version as well as the Howlin Wolf one as that's where the influence came from. To me it fits with the supernatural themes of this album, albeit in an ironic way claiming that he's not superstitious. Because at the time Mustaine was caught up in the occult which he has since renounced which was actually documented in the song The Conjuring which you can hear about in interviews. Mustaine's early influences were actually from 60s and 70s blues based rock bands like Led Zeppelin in which Jimmy Page used to play with Jeff Beck in the early days with their band the Yardbirds. So it's probably why it appears on this album. The blues also has a long history of being connected to the supernatural side of things. I can see why it's not the favorite for many people, but songs that are disliked at first listen can actually grow on you overtime which I know happens to me a lot. And yeah I can see why Peace Sells as a song may now seem tame compared to other songs of their catalog, but its usually one of the songs that first gets people into Megadeth who aren't familiar with them and is many peoples favorite. But yeah you should really check out their next album So Far, So Good, So What! as well as Rust in Peace. In my opinion it has more of a punk vibe while Rust in Peace is on a different level and will blow your mind lol
Yooooooo Edit: interesting how one of the things I love about early Megadeth is how chaotic and unpredictable the songs are. I love how there's so many riffs and switchups. But you prefer verse chorus verse structures Edit2: I like how you don't care for Peace Sells lol. Imo it's always been the weakest track in the album. That said I Ain't Superstitious is a cover so it doesn't count
Halloweeny is a good description. This one and Rust In Peace are my favorites, and have the most eerie sound I think. Good points on the 2 songs that are a bit different, I Ain't Superstitious is a cover. And Peace Sells was written more as an anthem. And if you're not familiar with the band Heart, their song Barracuda sounds similar to Devil's Island to me. Maybe they influenced Dave, their song came first.
About I Ain't Superstitious, back in the early days of metal, heavy bands didn't get any mainstream radio air play and album sale depended heavily on that. So, the record labels would pressure the metal bands to do a cover of a classic rock song and even though the radio stations wouldn't play the bands music they would play their cover song and get their album sales jump started that way. Not every one was into that but most of them did it and it worked for a great deal of them.
This was a great reaction!! I have to say that this is my favourite Megadeth Album, but you are right specially about I Ain't Supersticious. It's a cover, and it takes you out of the -let's say- "anger" of Megadeth at that time. Peace Sells is just that one song of the album that stands out as the more "aproachable" one, and that's why it is still one of Megadeth's most known songs (besides, that bass intro is just iconic). It's really great that you liked the drums a lot. Gar Samuelson, the drummer on this album and Killing is my Business, was a jazz drummer before he joined Megadeth. So, you certainly can feel the influence of Jazz on these albums. I have to say that he is my favourite megadeth drummer, being Nick Menza (the one in Rust In Peace and more) a really close second. After Peace Sells... But Whose Buying?, Gar Samuelson, and the guitarist Chris Poland left the band, so, In So Far, So Good, So What you will hear a different guitar player and drummer.
I'd be super interested to see your take on a more recent Megadeth album because It would be intriguing to see if you think they've still got it. Comparing their sound and songwriting these days to the older stuff. Album's I'd recommend if you do that include Endgame, Dystopia, The Sick The Dying And The Dead or United Abominations
You still gotta listen to And Justice for All as well! It's one of Metallica's thrash albums, it's right up there with Ride the Lightning and Master of puppets.
Oh yeah! Defo check And Justice before you try the Cr*p, I mean, the Black Album. Nah, that's not fair. The Black Album has some great stuff on it, but I think there's a general consensus that And Justice was the last truly classic Metallica album. You'll love it, Kira ❤
I think the idea with "I Ain't Superstitious" is, it is, or was, common for metal bands to include at least one song on their album, or on their concert set list, that is supposed to be a metalized 'blues' song: pentatonic melodies/solos and other blues elements. Kind of like the idea of a vinyl single having a 'B side' that's a different type of song. As for "Peace Sells" I can see what you mean about it not fitting it quite. I guess it's looking ahead to the late eighties, early nineties stadium anthem songs. It's interesting to imagine what the album would have been like without it, if it was excised and teleported to their later album Countdown to Extinction for example. Regarding feeling that "The Conjuring" rhythm parts were too herky-jerky, I wonder if the fact that you listened to the remixed version of the album makes a difference. Remixing like that, where the amount of reverb on every instrument, and every other little detail, is being changed decades later, is like trying to re-bake a cake that's already been baked. You can't make it better, only worse, although I suppose you can make it louder and different and everything, which could be interesting itself (e.g., exposing previously submerged parts). So I wonder if you listened to the original mix of "The Conjuring" (and compensated for the lower volume by turning in up), if the rhythm guitars parts would still feel prohibitively herky-jerky, or all 4 musicians' instruments would be better integrated together in the original mix so that it would flow better to your ears.
I bought it the day it came out on cassette, i wore the cassette out soon afterwards! It’s the greatest Thrash .. all killer no filler ..Love every song, i still listen too it …😎
I wish someone told you to make sure not to listen to the remaster. I don't know what Dave was thinking going back and redoing these. He didn't change them for the better.
I bought this album back when I was in highschool, I was already into Metallica and Slayer so I was there when all this shit went down! And this album blow my mind! My love for Heavy Metal would progress through the years, I am now 54 years old and still as much a Metal Head at heart as I was back then! Keep up the good work! Give Venom black metal a go!
I Ain't Superstitious are written by Willie Dixon 1915-1992. He wrote a lot of hits. Hoochie Coochie Man are another. A lot of his songs got recorded by other artists
It was common knowledge that Dave Mustaine was on a mission w/ Megadeth to outdo his former bandmates in Metallica after his firing in 1983... He could've made just another thrash metal band, but Mustaine wanted Megadeth to be more technical and challenging musically... he had David Ellefson (bass)... and 2 jazz players - (the late) Gar Samuelson (drums) and Chris Poland (guitar) and their 1985 debut album "Killing is my business... and business is good!" showed huge potential... but suffered from low budget production and a botched album cover. Mustaine was not happy w/ the Combat label that released the debut album... thankfully, major label Capitol Records made a bid for Megadeth and bought their contract for the 2nd album. Despite the band's dysfunction due to drugs and alcohol, they were on fire creatively and Dave Mustaine crafted a masterpiece of thrash metal w/ a lot of twists and turns... The blues cover of "I ain't superstitious" (written by Willie Dixon) was something no thrash metal band had attempted ... Even Lars Ulrich of Metallica admitted he loved "Peace sells, but who's buyin'?" Released in 1986, "Peace sells" was an immediate success and outsold "Killing is my business" as Megadeth hit the road opening for Alice Cooper... the album sold gold (half million copies)in the US and MTV even put 2 music videos on the air ('Wake up dead'... and 'Peace sells') before Metallica even filmed a music video. However, Mustaine was furious that Metallica's 3rd album 'Master of Puppets' was more successful, eventually selling platinum (1 million copies) ... But in the Fall of 1986 while Megadeth was on tour, Dave Mustaine got news from Europe that his former Metallica bandmate Cliff Burton (bass) was killed in a bus accident - a devastated Mustaine wrote the song 'In my darkest hour' as a tribute to Burton, and it became a standout single on Megadeth's 3rd album 'So far, so good, so what!' in 1988. In 1987, Mustaine fired both Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland after they were caught pawning the band's gear for drug money... Megadeth's 3rd album was recorded w/ Jeff Young (guitar) and Chuck Behler (drums)... Years later, Dave Mustaine admitted that the band had made no money even after the 4th album 'Rust in Peace' in 1990 because he and bassist David Ellefson had blown a lot of money on drugs to the point of debt and owing taxes.
Drummer here is a genius. RIP Gar Samuelson. Thing about Megadeth is that they’re jazz musicians playing Metal and it shows. Always bad choices for cover versions.
Thanks, Great album, I have this one and "so far, so good, so what.." on vinyl from back in the day I still like en both, tho maybe i shouldent considering my age :D
Peace Sells does stick out from the other tracks on this album but is a fairly typical of Megadeth in general (they're sometimes glibly stereotyped as "I strongly dislike the government -19 guitar solos-"). As you guess I Ain't Superstitious is a cover of blues song, originally recorded by the legendary Howlin' Wolf. Mustaine is very conversant in music from outside the metal world and seems to particularly love the blues, with Megadeth having generally a much bluesier sound than Metallica as a result.
Can't say this is 100% accurate, but I heard this years ago. When Megadeth got their first album deal, they were contracted to play a cover on their first three albums. On the first album, "Killing Is My Business..." the cover is 'These Boots'. One the second album, "Peace Sells..." the cover is 'I Ain't Superstitious'. On their third album, "So Far, So Good..." the cover is 'Anarchy in the UK'. No covers on the fourth album, "Rust in Peace." I like this album slightly more than the first, partly due to the better production, but I also think Dave's soloes are played better here. Sure, if the gang hadn't blown so much money, no pun intended, the first album might have sounded better and they might have had more time in the study. I do love the feel of this album a little more than "Rust in Peace". "RiP" is technically a better album all the way around, but "Peace Sells..." just has that funkier feel to it.
Hola Kira, que lindo verte 🥰🥰 Uuf de lo mejor de Megadeth, todas las canciones son geniales y de las mejores de todo el repertorio de la banda, Wake up dead de de las mejores, y obviamente Peace Sells, genial tu reacción ❤
PLEASE seek out the original mix of this album! It had a little more grit to it and overall just a more enjoyable listen. Love the old Megadeth reactions!
So far so good so what also has a whack cover on it that i don't care for, but apart from that it's still tied with Rust as a favorite. Nice video! Thanks
This is the album that got them noticed by a broader audience, but admittedly it has some very strong call backs for the first album in the form of extended and pretty complicated Arrangements that are sometimes a bit jarring a bit jarring. Is also unfortunately Chris Poland's last album with Megadeth which is a shame because he was an absolutely brilliant the guitar player and played with such a strange and Jazz influenced sort of Ease on top of the stains Rift that it just was magical. I never heard anything like him when I first heard this album back in the day and now I know his guitar solos are more like jazz organ or perhaps trumpet solos they have a very different kind of vibe to them but they're freaking brilliant anyway, this is a new album for me and I'm glad that you liked most of it
Chris has solos on 3 of the 8 songs on the first record . He has slightly more on this record . Most people's fav Chris Poland solos are actually Dave . The best solos here are on the conjuring and my last words where Chris doesnt even appear .
My personal favorite Chris solo off all three albums he recorded on... yes even the 2004 album, is the last solo from 'Good Mourning/Black Friday'. It's so damn good. 🤘🤘🤘
@@ronpaul1082 chris plays a mini solo beginning of my last word. The conjuring is the only track chris doesn't solo. Wake up dead he plays one Peace sells he plays a few mini and the last solo Devils Island he plays the last solo Good morning/black Friday he plays the intro solo and the last solo Bad omen he plays the first solo I aint superstitious is all him
Poland can have his solos but he can't write entire songs like Dave though. And that's why he wasn't the leader of the group. Different people just operate in different spaces within art. No one is better than the other
Peace Sells is easily my favourite of the early Megadeth albums (anything before Rust in Peace). I know the title track wasn’t your favourite but it’s fantastic if you ever see it played live, gaining more and more momentum as the song goes on. I’m not a fan of So Far, So Good… only a few tracks that I like and I think the production of album is pretty bad. Rust in Peace is amazing.
Greeting to you, charmante Demoiselle xx Today, I would LOVE to suggest a brand new song entitled "Dissociation", by the French Canadian Death Metal/Classical project named "Disorientation". This is a lyric video* Thank you for your attention and have a nice day ;)
I mean, very little of this album was meant to be spooky or scary. I think you were in a Halloween state of mind and projecting that onto it. Devil's Island was a prison btw.
Yeah the 2nd to last track is not only the worst song on the album but IMO the worst song in the entire catalog of Megadeth. You were spot on to say it didn't sound like Megadeth because it isn't 😆 "I Ain't Superstitious" is a song written by bluesman Willie Dixon and first recorded by Howlin' Wolf in 1961, Jeff Beck covered the song in 1968 and it was a big hit, then in 1986 Megadeth covered it again and it was a big shit LOL
Well at least you have a sense of humor. But it's one of their most iconic tracks. Everyone knows that opening bass line. As for the cover song, he should've just put that as a bonus track instead of having it on the official running order. But that's what everyone should do with covers
Peace Sells is the correct album. RIP might showcase more technical ability (not that it's lacking in Peace Sells), but Peace Sells has more of the grit, the anger, the, well, BALLS of the dude who was kicked out of Metallica and vowed to do it bigger, faster and better. Just dirtier, grittier and nastier. Even just basic E-Chugging riffs rip asphalt on this album.
Can't agree on Peace sells, first song way back in the 80s got me into Mega , love the tune, in no way Poppy , go listen to Metallica after, In Justice for all ,if you want Pop metal but great reaction over all , just the record skipping lost me a little
I can’t get used to how she chops up the songs and you lose the rythm of the songs. The conjuring is the best song on this album but the way she chopped it up made it hard to listen to. Second best Megadeth album after Rust in Peace.
This must be your first day on the internet . The video gets pulled for a copyright infringement claim by the record company if it's not cut up , you get a strike from youtube and your channel get deleted after so many strikes
If you haven’t already, you need to check out: Sultans of Swing (Alchemy Live) -Dire Straits Deacon Blues -Steely Dan King of the World -Steely Dan Sultans of Swing is a groove of the highest level, Deacon Blues is smoother than glass, and King of the World has one of the best bass solos/runs I’ve ever heard at the end.

rust in peace is the goat
Rust in Peace is one of, if not, their best album.
Rust in peace es el mejor álbum de la vida.
CHECK OUT THE MEGADEATH LP SO FAR SO GOOD SO WHAT
Fasten your seat belt when you finally hear Rust In Peace. One of the best albums in metal history.
"This channel needs more Megadeth" - could not agree more, and I am here for it😁!
it's been toooo long !!
The lead guitarist in i ain't superstitious is Chris Poland, not mustaine. He was in a jazz fusion band before he joined Megadeth along with the drummer
This is the album I go to the most when it comes to Megadeth. The tone, the foreboding atmosphere, the dirty riffs. It just does it for me. Almost a 10/10 album.
Definitely better than RIP.
Chris Poland is the original lead guitarist in Megadeth, along with Mustaine... 👍 the first 2 albums feature the original band
I Ain't Superstitious is a cover of an old Southern Rock/Blues song, that's why it sounds a bit out of the ordinary for a Megadeth song.
The opening bass on "Peace Sells.." was used as the theme music for MTV News back in the day.
Dave Mustaine is a Metal Genius!
he is my favourite
@@kirawasareactor Definitely one of mine too.👍 ...I often spend an inordinate amount of time trying to imagine what Metallica's catalogue would be like today if he had stayed with them.😂 *...but then we wouldn't have Megadeth!🤩*
IMO this is their best album
A close tie between Peace Sells and Rust in Peace. Its hard to argue with Holy Wars/punishment due.
rust in peace is better in every way except the atmosphere that's going on like in Good Mourning/Black Friday, Wake up Dead, Bad omen and My last words.
@@painkiller7769 No man, Peace Sells is faster, better and harder, not stopping solos. There is no comparison, even the singing is better.
@@zzasboa u didn't listen to rust in peace lol, rust in peace is faster, has more solos, has more riffs and is heavier
@@painkiller7769 hahaha that exacly is what I thought about you, you do not listen to Peace Sells for exacly same reasons.
I enjoy Megadeth but respect for giving it the number that was what you really thought / according to your rating system and not just bumping it up to keep people happy 👍
OMG cannot wait for you to do So far...so good...so what. easily their most under-rated, under reacted to album. enjoy your energy.
2:25 The Scorpions "Sails of Charon" reference was spot on!!!!
My Last Words far and away one of my favorite Megadeth tunes.
Hiiii kiraaaa. This is in my top 10 metal albums
good taste my dude :)
One of the greatest groups ever. Hands-down. Peace Sells in an all-time classic of metal. This album and Killing Is My Business are probably the two angriest Megadeth albums, and it lends well to Dave's vocals and the guitars.
good mourning/black friday might be my favorite megadeth song, or at least a very close second to looking down the cross
We think the same.

Rust in Peace is my favourite, too. I'd put it up there in my short list of best thrash albums right along with Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood.
Its their defining album, really. Also, my fave lineup.
If anything the later albums proved Dave's range as a songwriter.
"If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line, but it better work this time!"
Such a profound lyric there.
You're my favourite youtube reactor. You always have so much energy haha

If you like that groovy fast beat Municipal Waste is very enjoyable and upset neighbors
I love the guitar playing of 'Good Mourning' so much it's not even funny. 💎
Anyone else experiencing the song Skip ahead?
my fav Megadeth
This album blew my mind as a 12 yr old kid. Cassette and walkman cranked up. The oldies had no idea what I was rocking out to.
Megadeth really needs to hire on-stage dancers and bring you on as the choreographer 😂
About I Ain't Superstitious, back in the early days of metal, heavy bands didn't get any mainstream radio air play and album sale depended heavily on that.

Rust In Peace. The only album I have by them but oh boy...what an album
effing loved it a ton. unmatchable energy. Can’t stop listening to ttheir! 🤘
METALLICA ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL next please?
Come on, that first track, wake up dead, that is the greatest thrash metal song ever written!
I bought it the day it came out on cassette, i wore the cassette out soon afterwards! It’s the greatest Thrash .. all killer no filler ..Love every song, i still listen too it …😎
I wish someone told you to make sure not to listen to the remaster. I don't know what Dave was thinking going back and redoing these. He didn't change them for the better.
Has anyone noticed Peace Sells has a predominately red backgroubd like Master of Puppets and Rust in Peace is blue like Rode the Lightning?
It hit me right now, how much of Power metal there is in 'My last words'.
Thank you for your great video and reaction!
Great MEGADETH album reaction! Please keep them coming.🤘🏻👍🏻
I bought this album back when I was in highschool, I was already into Metallica and Slayer so I was there when all this shit went down! And this album blow my mind! My love for Heavy Metal would progress through the years, I am now 54 years old and still as much a Metal Head at heart as I was back then! Keep up the good work! Give Venom black metal a go!
I Ain't Superstitious are written by Willie Dixon 1915-1992. He wrote a lot of hits. Hoochie Coochie Man are another. A lot of his songs got recorded by other artists
It was common knowledge that Dave Mustaine was on a mission w/ Megadeth to outdo his former bandmates in Metallica after his firing in 1983... He could've made just another thrash metal band, but Mustaine wanted Megadeth to be more technical and challenging musically... he had David Ellefson (bass)... and 2 jazz players - (the late) Gar Samuelson (drums) and Chris Poland (guitar) and their 1985 debut album "Killing is my business... and business is good!" showed huge potential... but suffered from low budget production and a botched album cover. Mustaine was not happy w/ the Combat label that released the debut album... thankfully, major label Capitol Records made a bid for Megadeth and bought their contract for the 2nd album. Despite the band's dysfunction due to drugs and alcohol, they were on fire creatively and Dave Mustaine crafted a masterpiece of thrash metal w/ a lot of twists and turns... The blues cover of "I ain't superstitious" (written by Willie Dixon) was something no thrash metal band had attempted ... Even Lars Ulrich of Metallica admitted he loved "Peace sells, but who's buyin'?"
Released in 1986, "Peace sells" was an immediate success and outsold "Killing is my business" as Megadeth hit the road opening for Alice Cooper... the album sold gold (half million copies)in the US and MTV even put 2 music videos on the air ('Wake up dead'... and 'Peace sells') before Metallica even filmed a music video.
However, Mustaine was furious that Metallica's 3rd album 'Master of Puppets' was more successful, eventually selling platinum (1 million copies) ... But in the Fall of 1986 while Megadeth was on tour, Dave Mustaine got news from Europe that his former Metallica bandmate Cliff Burton (bass) was killed in a bus accident - a devastated Mustaine wrote the song 'In my darkest hour' as a tribute to Burton, and it became a standout single on Megadeth's 3rd album 'So far, so good, so what!' in 1988.
In 1987, Mustaine fired both Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland after they were caught pawning the band's gear for drug money... Megadeth's 3rd album was recorded w/ Jeff Young (guitar) and Chuck Behler (drums)... Years later, Dave Mustaine admitted that the band had made no money even after the 4th album 'Rust in Peace' in 1990 because he and bassist David Ellefson had blown a lot of money on drugs to the point of debt and owing taxes.
Drummer here is a genius. RIP Gar Samuelson. Thing about Megadeth is that they’re jazz musicians playing Metal and it shows. Always bad choices for cover versions.
If you played Vice City that would seem familiar. Peace sells was on the Vrock channel in the car
Countdown to extinction is an amazing album and most approachable of theirs.
Just steer clear of the remasters.
6:11 MTV news….where you hear it, first.
album dystopia
Girl lars reacting megadeth lol
Nice reaction, but I hate those 2004 reissues 😂
Completely unrelated to this album or metal, but please react to Dirty by Sonic Youth. It’s crazy good, especially after like 2 or 3 listens
This album is so underrated. 🤘
Can't go wrong with the first four Megadeth, especially the original masters
Just in time for Black Friday
I love the spooky feel of this album
Thanks,
Great album,
I have this one and "so far, so good, so what.." on vinyl from back in the day
I still like en both, tho maybe i shouldent considering my age :D
Peace Sells does stick out from the other tracks on this album but is a fairly typical of Megadeth in general (they're sometimes glibly stereotyped as "I strongly dislike the government -19 guitar solos-").
As you guess I Ain't Superstitious is a cover of blues song, originally recorded by the legendary Howlin' Wolf. Mustaine is very conversant in music from outside the metal world and seems to particularly love the blues, with Megadeth having generally a much bluesier sound than Metallica as a result.
Do New Noise by Refused, or It's a dangerous business walking out your front door by Underoath. Screamo gold.
your reaction is great :)
This Channel need more IRON MAIDEN LIVE PERFORMANCE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can't say this is 100% accurate, but I heard this years ago. When Megadeth got their first album deal, they were contracted to play a cover on their first three albums. On the first album, "Killing Is My Business..." the cover is 'These Boots'. One the second album, "Peace Sells..." the cover is 'I Ain't Superstitious'. On their third album, "So Far, So Good..." the cover is 'Anarchy in the UK'. No covers on the fourth album, "Rust in Peace."
I like this album slightly more than the first, partly due to the better production, but I also think Dave's soloes are played better here. Sure, if the gang hadn't blown so much money, no pun intended, the first album might have sounded better and they might have had more time in the study. I do love the feel of this album a little more than "Rust in Peace". "RiP" is technically a better album all the way around, but "Peace Sells..." just has that funkier feel to it.
Hola Kira, que lindo verte 🥰🥰
Uuf de lo mejor de Megadeth, todas las canciones son geniales y de las mejores de todo el repertorio de la banda, Wake up dead de de las mejores, y obviamente Peace Sells, genial tu reacción ❤
PLEASE seek out the original mix of this album! It had a little more grit to it and overall just a more enjoyable listen. Love the old Megadeth reactions!
You actually did listen to peace sells before and you really liked it the first time 😆
I Ain't Superstitious is a fun song, but maybe it doesn't belong on this album. IDK. I enjoy it though.
Yeah, definitely different. Glad they put their version of this song on the album.🤘🏻
Kira,based on your reaction to that kind of sound,i think that you seriously have to react to ICED EARTH. Start with the song Dante's inferno
So far so good so what also has a whack cover on it that i don't care for, but apart from that it's still tied with Rust as a favorite. Nice video! Thanks
There best album imo
This is the album that got them noticed by a broader audience, but admittedly it has some very strong call backs for the first album in the form of extended and pretty complicated Arrangements that are sometimes a bit jarring a bit jarring. Is also unfortunately Chris Poland's last album with Megadeth which is a shame because he was an absolutely brilliant the guitar player and played with such a strange and Jazz influenced sort of Ease on top of the stains Rift that it just was magical. I never heard anything like him when I first heard this album back in the day and now I know his guitar solos are more like jazz organ or perhaps trumpet solos they have a very different kind of vibe to them but they're freaking brilliant anyway, this is a new album for me and I'm glad that you liked most of it
Great album
Fascinating that you don't like Peace Sells, it's probably their most loved/well-known track!
best megadeth album
you can hear the difference between chris poland and dave mustaine. Chris has a cleaner tone and can play circles around dave
Chris has solos on 3 of the 8 songs on the first record . He has slightly more on this record . Most people's fav Chris Poland solos are actually Dave . The best solos here are on the conjuring and my last words where Chris doesnt even appear .
My personal favorite Chris solo off all three albums he recorded on... yes even the 2004 album, is the last solo from 'Good Mourning/Black Friday'. It's so damn good. 🤘🤘🤘
@@ronpaul1082 chris plays a mini solo beginning of my last word.
The conjuring is the only track chris doesn't solo.
Wake up dead he plays one
Peace sells he plays a few mini and the last solo
Devils Island he plays the last solo
Good morning/black Friday he plays the intro solo and the last solo
Bad omen he plays the first solo
I aint superstitious is all him
Poland can have his solos but he can't write entire songs like Dave though. And that's why he wasn't the leader of the group. Different people just operate in different spaces within art. No one is better than the other
Peace Sells is easily my favourite of the early Megadeth albums (anything before Rust in Peace). I know the title track wasn’t your favourite but it’s fantastic if you ever see it played live, gaining more and more momentum as the song goes on. I’m not a fan of So Far, So Good… only a few tracks that I like and I think the production of album is pretty bad. Rust in Peace is amazing.
More Megadeath, I subscribed!😎
Patiently waiting for rust in peace
Yay
Greeting to you, charmante Demoiselle xx Today, I would LOVE to suggest a brand new song entitled "Dissociation", by the French Canadian Death Metal/Classical project named "Disorientation". This is a lyric video* Thank you for your attention and have a nice day ;)
Play an entire song please? I haven't seen an song on your channel yet, I'm still here though
Rust may be a better album but Peace Sells is my favorite Megadeth album. Thrash classic.
🤘🤘.
Do Slayer First album. Show No Mercy its only as heavy as this one not as heavy as their others
Show no Mercy is a killer album!🤘🏻
I mean, very little of this album was meant to be spooky or scary. I think you were in a Halloween state of mind and projecting that onto it. Devil's Island was a prison btw.
Whenever I get back out to Ozzie land I’d love to treat you to a friendly schooner when you’re of age 😉
Yeah the 2nd to last track is not only the worst song on the album but IMO the worst song in the entire catalog of Megadeth. You were spot on to say it didn't sound like Megadeth because it isn't 😆 "I Ain't Superstitious" is a song written by bluesman Willie Dixon and first recorded by Howlin' Wolf in 1961, Jeff Beck covered the song in 1968 and it was a big hit, then in 1986 Megadeth covered it again and it was a big shit LOL
I ain’t superstitious is a great song it’s just not for casuals, it’s a musicians song
Well at least you have a sense of humor. But it's one of their most iconic tracks. Everyone knows that opening bass line. As for the cover song, he should've just put that as a bonus track instead of having it on the official running order. But that's what everyone should do with covers
Not liking Peace Sells is wild
Peace Sells is the correct album. RIP might showcase more technical ability (not that it's lacking in Peace Sells), but Peace Sells has more of the grit, the anger, the, well, BALLS of the dude who was kicked out of Metallica and vowed to do it bigger, faster and better.
Just dirtier, grittier and nastier. Even just basic E-Chugging riffs rip asphalt on this album.
Can't agree on Peace sells, first song way back in the 80s got me into Mega , love the tune, in no way Poppy , go listen to Metallica after, In Justice for all ,if you want Pop metal but great reaction over all , just the record skipping lost me a little
I know that she is never going to react to Black Sabbath- Heaven and Hell. ....
She already did, but the Yüber Gübers stopped it. Go to her “Pat” place (that which I cannot name, or my comment will vanish) to see it and much more.
I can’t get used to how she chops up the songs and you lose the rythm of the songs. The conjuring is the best song on this album but the way she chopped it up made it hard to listen to. Second best Megadeth album after Rust in Peace.
This must be your first day on the internet . The video gets pulled for a copyright infringement claim by the record company if it's not cut up , you get a strike from youtube and your channel get deleted after so many strikes
4:10 you need to fire your editor, cause who the hell cuts out the first part of that monster riff
She is the editor. Go to her “Pat” place (that which I cannot name, or my comment will vanish) to see uncut and much more.
If you haven’t already, you need to check out:
Sultans of Swing (Alchemy Live) -Dire Straits
Deacon Blues -Steely Dan
King of the World -Steely Dan
Sultans of Swing is a groove of the highest level, Deacon Blues is smoother than glass, and King of the World has one of the best bass solos/runs I’ve ever heard at the end.
So you listen to an album once and you think you are able to rate it?
