  • @flugplatz21
    @flugplatz21 2 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    The "transitions" you love so much are a result of the songwriters use of phrasing. They construct a "phrase", the chorus, verse, section of a solo, whatever, and those are tied together through modulation, dynamics, time signature and other musical tools. Just giving you another piece of terminology to use. Black Sabbath, Van Halen....part of why they're so great is their great phrasing. It's awesome to see people experience and enjoy music!
    P.S. The drummer on this track, Chuck Behler, was a family friend when I was a kid. The first drumset I ever played was his.

    I am surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, but this is the re-recorded version of the album made in the 2000s. They cut down the reverb in the sound, completely redid the guitars and also re-recorded the drum tracks. It may technically sound better, but the over the top 80s reverb of the original will always be my fave. If you guys have time off camera, have a listen to both versions. I think this one sounds more precise, but a little lifeless in comparison to the original.

      I prefer melodic, melancholic metal songs like this, and this is probably the best of them. Its full of emotion, but it has faster, rougher parts too, with perfect transitions between them, and perfect solos. Its a symphony. A lot of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden songs are like this, maybe Rammstein to some extent, but Megadeth is something else. This song probably sounds best if listened too multiple times, while feeling down a bit.

    You guys crack me up and I love your appreciation and love of metal music and of course music in general. I appreciate you guys always given it a chance and allowing yourself to feel the melodies and heaviness that thrash/speed metal can offer. I was 17 in my senior of high school when my friend and I picked up this tape the day it dropped we then would sing this song to our buddies daily for several weeks who sat in front of us and were big metal fans but were not into Megadeth yet and we tried to "enlighten" them... Lol. I ended up seeing them in concert on their tour that year in Detroit. In my Darkest Hour is a frickin awesome song but definitely one that is that beautiful meger of a ballad and heaviness and some speed too. Ironically The Conjuring is possibly my all time favorite Megadeth song but of course that is tough with so many ripping songs to choose from. Keep having fun fellas!

    Don't go around too much, George, this is a great Megadeth song, as amazing in every way, shape and form as any other Megadeth son. The emotional part of it, it's incredible; how it begins hard but soft (as Ryan said) at the same time and how it takes a faster and faster pace, then it ends on a "melt down face" way as you said it Megadeth is. I mean, the transitions the riffs, you name it. I know it's gonna be hard for you to "love" the song, but listen to it once more, as you said you would.

    The first song on So Far, the instrumental, Into The Lungs Of Hell, that is a musical masterpiece that exemplifies the late '80s shred / thrash dynamic. Guitar virtuosity and flashy playing was huge, especially since EVH changed the guitar world for awhile. Those that were their will remember.

    Dave's voice (imo) was best on the first three albums when he had more of a gritty style and wasn't trying to really sing as much as Rust in Peace and later albums, the more snarling punk vocals that were like when Yosemite Sam would be muttering curses under his breath just really worked for the bitterness and anger he had.

    such a pleasure to mind melt with fellow music lovers, Lost in Vegas gets it! "Set the World Afire" is a 10/10

    You should do more Iron Maiden. Definitely a legendary band. Try Phantom of the Opera
