+Ngakak Guling I always come back to this version, it IS the best version indeed, plus every time I watch this I'm amazed by the quality. Also I love the sneaky way Nick ups the tempo while Dave is doing his solo, so that everyone has to up their tempo too. Megadeth was really well oiled machine back then.
Erik Andersen You grew up with good internet and access to stuff like youtube. Finding bands and information about bands is no more than a few button clicks for you lol
Sgt.James Doakes For the record: I was TWELVE in 1990. That's the point I was making that eluded this other idiot here. I've been to well over 100 shows and have seen Megadeth 5 times and counting.
This is probably the best performance of this song live. Dave’s voice sounds wicked, the whole band is incredibly in the pocket, Marty is playing these solos damn near like on the record.
The audio was remastered by Andy Sneap in 2007 for Warchest box set. No overdubbed or studio fix on the performance itself though. The bootleg version of this show has been around for many years and instrument and vocal performance are exactly the same.
I bought a can of kit and I played it in a metal band I played in many people tell me that I need to go to a different brand and keep up with the others and competition. My 11 piece Tammi drum kit has never failed me why do I need new ones when the one I have plays just as good as the day I bought them never broke one piece, I only broke drum heads sticks and cracked cymbals
In my version on history, Lars gets kicked out instead which causes a chain reaction where Cliff never dies and Nick Menza joins the group. The world then moved into a new world order made in the image of the unstoppable force that is Megatallica.
There was too much ego in the hetfield/Mustaine/ Burton/ulrich lineup. All alpha males everyone wanted to be in charge. Combined with Mustaine’s addictions, it was never going to last. Metallica died with cliff, as then the primary songwriters became Ulrich and Hetfield, so the songwriting power was cut in half, and never recovered. Newsted was not allowed to contribute like Burton.
No leathers. No spikes. Shirts, jeans, lots of hair, skill, energy and drive. Incredible composition, unmatchable album and even more powerful version of this masterpiece. Incredible.
Very sad, so talented and a very Kind guy. Plus at this Show the holy trinity of drum Equipment:Tama Artstar plus Zildjian Platinum plus Aquarian heads. Best sounding kit ever
@mister potato Marty and Chris were different, but in live both nailed all their parts. Marty sometimes struggled with some Chris solos. Legends anywayd
My brother just sent me this video. We were there! I was 12 years old and this was my first metal show. It was epic. Pantera opened for them, it was the Cowboys from Hell tour. I had never heard of Pantera at that time but became a huge fan later on. I found it so strange that Phil Anselmo was jumping around the stage. Someone threw a joint to him before they started playing and he thanked them. Great memories! Still, at 45 years old our cover band, Dentallica plays this song and we love it every time we do it!
Dave made this song timeless by writing it about pointless religious conflicts that will go on for hundreds of years still. That’s how it still holds up today.
The first time I listened to Holy Wars, I was completely in shock. This feeling is still there after hundreds of times listening to this masterpiece. This is, for me, the definition of metal.
AND he doesn’t even look at his fretboard! Which he still does most of the time today! Even Kerry King commented on that and how he couldn’t do that. And king isn’t playing and singing!
If Dave gets old enough to develop alsheimers (let's hope not) his finger picking and fretting motor memory won't ever fade. True story. This very thing happened to guitar legend Glen Campbell. Check out his biography
This was Megadeth in their prime. Holy SHIT! Nice mix too... real good. Rust in Peace, Mr. Menza. :( There was a time in my life when you were the best fucking thing to my ears. Thanks for everything!
The first time I heard this song back in 1992, when I received a tape called Thrash Patrol and Megadeth - Holy Wars was the first song on Side A and when I played the song, I was smitten by the riffs and then I bought all their albums Killing is my Business all the way to Countdown to Extinction. I love how Dave Mustaine transmitted all his anger, personal struggles and political views through his music.
Those shows back in the day must have been magical. No cell phones to take you away from the performance. All band members were at the top of there game. What I would give to be in that crowd. RIP Nick
Mainstream concerts are not the same. I’ve been to so many rap shows but when I got into metal I was astounded by how cool the shows are. Don’t think I could ever go to a rap show ever again.
Not gonna lie, but this is Megadeth’s best line up ever. Not to discount the other talented musicians that preceded and succeed the others, this line up just defines Megadeth in their prime and peak.
Not really into Megadeth but the drums on this record always intrigued me. Now I know why. He has his own style for sure. Really sad how he passed but I saw a comment some where saying he died doing what he loved and it's true.
@@isaacgarcia8279 i only recently got into megadeath just last year. I needed new music for my workout and I avoided thrash metal/ rock only because I was raised in a religious fam. Needless to say once I heard this song that all went out the window
@@Farrahtinsley218 you forgot to mention The World Needs a Hero album and Rude Awakening with Jimmy Degrasso on drums. That dude was phenomenal. Check out She Wolf live Rude Awakening, also available on video on TH-cam as well as DVD
Nick was the reason I “dropped the pick” and grabbed the sticks in 1998. A beast that loved what he did, all the way to the fricken end! Rust In Peace, Mr. Menza.
@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066wow you are a true troll eh? He said it’s possible, not that it is and more people would be on his side than yours for even thinking it couldn’t even be in the running’s for it. Just stop lol.
@@GalacticCenterOG i am a troll because i disagree with him? You're not the brightest of blocks around :D Song is great, but stuff like Darkness Descends, Beneath The Remains, Serpent Temptation wipe the floor with it. People that only know Megadeth and nothing else would obviously be on his side :D
people are there to see them not the inverse- dont think they're necessarily too focused on that... they're too busy for that,gotta play that thrash. \m/
Saw this tour when they came to Manchester with my old gig going buddy who unfortunately died of Covid working as a porter in Royal Stoke Hospital. Great times RIP my friend. ROCK IN PEACE.
Watched this 100x at least and it never gets old seeing them all rip this hard maaaan a sound that will never be recreated again, you had to be there moment
this was one of the best renditions Holy Wars played and also the first time I saw megadeth and nick menza drumming for them great Holy Wars video this also was in my opinion the greatest megadeth line up I could watch this over and over another great nick menza tribute video nick we miss and love you
Mine too my neighbors thought we moved and some new people moved my husband told them some gave her a megadeth CD at work the first song was holy wars and that was all she wrote
So many that today he looks like he's being doing heroin because he's soooo skinny now. Or maybe he actually is sick or in drugs today, in his current pictures he looks terrible.
I am a rock/metal drummer and some gigs I lose 5-8 pounds of sweat! that is why you drink lots of Gatorade and water...and have a good meal 3-4 hours before a gig, so you don't faint or lose energy!
Love, LOVE this recording! A moment in time you just can't get back, but thanks to this recording, we can relive moments of greatness like these!! TY!!
this is definitely the best and the most unique Thrash metal song ever made, the drum pattern the guitar, bass, anything just perfectly crafted by the legends 🔥
This was a great show. Can't believe its been 30 years. This was the show that introduced me to the awesomeness that was Alice in Chains so a double whammy of nostalgia watching this.
Hot damn! They played that like a fucking machine! That was fricken amazing! Those time changes and solos always blow my mind. Menza was a fricken beast! RIP.

I disagree wholeheartedly
@@BornHeadless96 give me another version you think is better
@Jamie Best anytime I'm listening to music and any of the songs from this concert come up I'll immediately open up TH-cam and listen to this version.

Agree! This to me was Megadeth!
Who ever did the sound for this concert should get a raise
No way this is the raw FOH sound. The tracks were likely independently recorded and edited to match volume levels and whatnot.
This is probably the best performance of this song live. Dave’s voice sounds wicked, the whole band is incredibly in the pocket, Marty is playing these solos damn near like on the record.
Dave looks so fuckin gone lol but he's on fire
YES
I was thinking the same thing lol. But as usual… the man is ripping it and singing and not even looking at his fretboard.
Best lineup ever I agree! And Dave is ripped haha

I love Metallica but i am so glad Mustaine got kicked out. If he didn't, we would never have this group of pure badassery.
In my version on history, Lars gets kicked out instead which causes a chain reaction where Cliff never dies and Nick Menza joins the group. The world then moved into a new world order made in the image of the unstoppable force that is Megatallica.

I love how casual Dave looks while he is shredding like crazy on the guitar. Talk about virtuoso
Dude walking around playing that solo lol
Those pauses to take the hair out of the face in the beginning is just a big chad move.
I'm still blown away he can play these riffs and sing at the same time
Words cannot describe how much hair was on that stage
Not as much hair as cliff buttons hair, though.
@@floydthephilosopherCliff's not part of the discussion🤦🏻
This song still destroys.
it will never end.
Even the lyric keep getting more and more relevant.
Update: it still does
Dave made this song timeless by writing it about pointless religious conflicts that will go on for hundreds of years still. That’s how it still holds up today.
2020 still blowin both barrels!!!!

Austen johnson Boom! Straight knowledge dropped. It is that simple.
Very guarded secret for true fans only.
Austen johnson absolutely! crazy if u don’t
Megadeth wouldn’t exist without Metallica
Shittallica sucks balls
I love how they each have a unique guitar tone.
More bands need to do that
It's 2024. I'm just now learning this on guitar. Such a bad ass song.
Sounds hard. Good luck man!
Megadeth at their best. Best album, best line-up, undoubtedly the peak of their career.
Great performance by Nick Menza. Great drummer with great feel and technique. Best Megadeth line up by a country mile
Rare to have both same time, feel and tecnique.

There was a time in my life when you were the best fucking thing to my ears. Thanks for everything!
This was not only the best version of Megadeth , but IMO the best metal lineup ever.
And let not forget Dave's hair was at its best by then, God, how I envy that density.
@@rollotomassi4768 no doubt. Seen these guys with the original. And this line up. This line up was incredible

Metal in its purist form...Menza is a beast!!
Literally every concert at the Hammersmith is a amazing. Twisted sister,Anthrax, Megadeth. Tons of concerts!
this is definitely the best and the most unique Thrash metal song ever made, the drum pattern the guitar, bass, anything just perfectly crafted by the legends 🔥
FINALLY some recognition on the bass player. He's playing the guitar riffs throughout. Impossibly hard
absolutely loved this line up and was able to see them a few times. RIP Nick incredible drummer
Wow. Dave's singing here was actually really good. Usually he isnt that great when he is live
The guitarsound is fucking great!!!

Hell of a song to open a show with. Shot of adrenaline out of the gate.

Who ta fu.. is here in 23? Best line up and for sure in their PRIME!!!!!
I would literally sell my soul to be there. So good. 😱
This is one of the purest playing i ever heard.
what a song, probably the most technical metal song ever, simple a masterpiece.
They are so chill on performances, thats why their live recordings sound so studio-alike and cleat, nothing distracts them from insane playing
This is my most fave live tempo of Holy Wars. Nick has it, RIP Mr. Menza
Thanks Lars if it wasn't for you we would of never had this great band
All of the drummers that growing band of talented musicians upstairs needed, they picked Nick,, great choice. Make the clouds rumble Bud...
oh God brutal camera captions! amazing play of cameras!
Wish they showed the crowd a bit more rock’in out.
Nick Menza, a master of double bass!
Loved watching Nick Menza play - not least of the reasons being his ability to somehow manage those wildly swinging suspended cymbals!
This is more than a song, this is anthem of history of metal music
I think that drummer could not be more on point, his performance is pretty much perfect, amazing
It’s just got a pace to it that’s unbelievable
Fantastic guitar player and voice!
Rust in Peace is the best metal album ever made. Brilliant from start to finish. Every track is spot on both musically and lyrically.
Pure bs bro. It has 3 great, but overrated songs. The rest is just good.
This is the best lineup ever and Nick on the drums was the best drummer ever for Megadeth
Perfect , perfect , Just Perfect.
Next thing you know Dave , Those pefection could maybe never replica.
Hot damn! They played that like a fucking machine! That was fricken amazing! Those time changes and solos always blow my mind. Menza was a fricken beast! RIP.
Best Megadeth line up ever.
The best line up ever, and best live version of holy wars...
Thank you Nick for all your talent you will be missed rock in peace.
WOW!!! What a great sound they had back then!
I was there, what a night! 1st time I'd ever seen megadeth live, countdown to extinction had just come out, and they opened with this!!
