You've GOT to watch the "Official" video. You will 💯% understand what's going on. It's definitely one of the most unique music videos ever made. Brad you were on the right track 👊
Awe no video. I guess it'll be okay as long as we hear the GOAT .My man Mustaine. Thank god Metallica fired him The greatest thing to happen in metal history. The Birth of MEGADETH.
So jealous!... I never listened to a lot of their stuff when I was younger (Metallica fan mostly) but I've always appreciated them as a band. I knew the backstory about the two, but Dave and the band definitely made their place in metal
This is some of Megadeth's best, Dave seems to have really dug deep into the worst feeling's around his drug, alcohol and withdrawal issues with this song in particular. The dude really did pretty much go through hell to get clean back then.
Spent most of lockdown drinking and got myself a bit of a problem -- a liter of vodka every day. Quit cold turkey. Took about a week before I started feeling like sanity was returning and I wasn't going to die. If you've been through this, then you KNOW this song is about what you said. You are correct.
@@josephvanalstyne4049 too many times that I'd like to admit, only alcohol tho. I messed with cocaine a bit here and there, but never got into anything else other than that and weed
The songs "Countdown to Extinction" and "Ashes in Your Mouth" are 2 more of that album y'all should check out (album name also "Countdown to Extinction")
In the 1992 live version in Italy he states it’s about Schizophrenia before performing but he’s paraphrased different meanings for it over interviews as well.
I always loved the lyric about his "black tooth grin." Dimebag Darrell of Pantera created a cocktail called a Blacktooth Grin which is a glass of Crown Royal with a splash of Diet Coke. It's delicious
Maple Grove Bar just outside of Cleveland serves this as designed and instructed by Dime himself. Last I was there (2008 ish) proceeds from each Blacktooth sold was going to a victims service non-profit of some kind
This song is about the demons Dave was going through, monkey on your back kind of thing. I unfortunately have been there done that but through Megadeth and my girlfriend ( now wife ) I’m one of the lucky ones who made it several try’s but thanks to my beautiful wife. 80’s and 90’s a lot of fun but a lot of other things not so much. God Bless
I always felt that Sweating Bullets was about a need to let go of things like anger and regrets. It sounds like a person who is living defensively from day to day due to a tragic past that he can’t let go of from fear of recurrences. Holding on to those things only makes you a bitter and angry person. I sensed that because it helped me to get out of the angry rut I was in once.
Brad nailed the meaning of this song... it's about schizophrenia, voices in his head, paranoia, blacking out with loss of time and unaware of where you've been or what you've done...
@@yootoob1001001 ... Did you study Psychology in college? I did... I've studied Abnormal Psychology, Criminal Psychology, Childhood Developmental Psychology, read many case studies... it's really quite fascinating... if you are equally as qualified, I would absolutely be open to a clinical debate... otherwise, you have no idea what you are talking about...
Back when Dave was still struggling a lot with the needle and most likely booze. A great song and a great concert that year. Now he has been born again for almost 20 years and hopefully free from those demons forever. 🙏 This record is 🔥. "I've seen the man use the needle, I've seen the needle use the man". Some other great Megadeth lyrics and I will let you kids find out what song they are on...
Another one of those songs that really needs the video to get the full effect. You'll definitely want to check it out at some point. Great reaction as always. 😎👍
The lyrics, written by frontman Dave Mustaine, are from a first-person perspective of someone suffering from schizophrenia. Mustaine wrote the lyrics to express an idea that everyone suffers from the mental illness in their own ways, stating: "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."
By Dave's own words, the song is about a "s**thouse crazy friend of his (then) girlfriend Pam, and about his own inner struggle not to "live inside his own head".
Lex, you need to start your own channel and leave this dude in the garage. He looks like he just smoked a pound of skunk weed then inhaled a shitty diaper for 15 minutes. He’s bringing you down big time.
Best friend growing up loved Megadeth, I loved Metallica so we was always going at who's better etc etc. But i liked and still like Megadeth. He still hates Metallica lol good music is good music. Dont matter who its from.
I used to work in a mental hospital. This is a song about being mentally ill. I could tell you some stories that are unbelievable. My favorites were the ones that honestly thought they were Jesus Christ
I'm sure nowadays they're treating those patients using positive affirmation. Tell them their feelings about being Jesus Christ are valid, that'll do the trick.
Dave likes singing from the perspective of a mentally unstable person, this is definitely one of those songs. It's like the devil on his shoulder telling him to do bad. "Hello me, it's me again."
Check out Hook in Mouth or This Was My Life or Ashes In Your Mouth. Three little ditties by the one and only fire breathing ,skull crushing hell stomping masters of metal MEGADETH.
I get it, but I think because his singing voice is very similar to his speaking voice I got past it. (If that makes any sense). I do have a lot of respect for Dave’s creativity and drive. I believe he said in an interview with Lars that his whole career was about proving them wrong for kicking him out of Metallica. But at the end of the day after getting sober he admitted he was an asshole and deserved it.
Hello from New England..Dave Mustain has said in many interviews this song is about his drug use and the resulting collapse of his mental health..He said he would black out for days and then literally wake up with blood stains on his body and didn't know where they came from..Love Mustain or hate him he's an OG metal warrior and has been thru some heavy stuff..Peace...
It's pure genius and constructed very well from the intro to the guitar solo. Well done guys. Great review and a whopper of a song. Would like to hear you review Metallica Turn the pages. It's a cover and a great one 👍🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
Yeah, Brad got it right away. Reminds me of a friend who had dissociative disorder. Not sure what they did or did not do, can't tell if they are in trouble for it or not, constantly paranoid that they are going to get punished for something they haven't even thought of doing yet. I couldn't imagine living like you are always worried about things you did but don't know anything about. 😵💫
Its not about Dementia its about split personality ( disorder) and Mustaine's Drug and Alcohol problems. This isn't just one of my favorite MegaDeth songs of all Time it's one of my favorite Songs of all Time!
@@harlanmonk569 thats kool. at the time it was released it was on the MTVs Beavis and Butthead and everyone was saying he sounded like Beavis. but i think he was trying to deal with bad thoughts from being kicked out of Metalica with no second chance. he came back with vengeance and it was awesome!!!!
Panic Attacks is my take, cause i can relate to this song....I have Panic Disorder.....Palms are profoundly sweating..... And a serious phase of MANIA at the sametime......let me tell ya..
Can’t lie it’s not the same without the music video
You've GOT to watch the "Official" video.
You will 💯% understand what's going on. It's definitely one of the most unique music videos ever made.
Brad you were on the right track 👊
Agreed, the video really helps and Dave is pretty easy to understand, doesn't require a lyric video.
Definitely watch the official vid!🤘🏻
The best video of The MTV era.
yeah haha big time watch the music video
Yeah, what they said!
Awe no video. I guess it'll be okay as long as we hear the GOAT .My man Mustaine. Thank god Metallica fired him The greatest thing to happen in metal history. The Birth of MEGADETH.
the greatest thing to happen in metal history is we have both metallica and megadeth
That's what I try to explain to people when they complain about him getting booted out. Otherwise no Megadeth and we only have the Big 3!!
@@ali965 metallashit suck ass.
@@johnlitz4226 Kinda seems like you got the hate covered there. And Lars doesn't play guitar 🙄
Great statement: No Big Four and his clinical riffs, and leads with such distinct vocals 🤘💯
You guys should react to…
Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde
🎸🤘
Definitely 🤘
My fav song by them
The original one, or the one with the delectable cristina scabbia in?
Definitely the one with Cristina
these two DO NOT READ THESE comments.. so don't bother with suggestions..
I saw Megadeth Saturday night with Lamb of God. Was a badass show. This was one of my bucket list bands to see. Did not disappoint
I was there also it was kick ass
So jealous!... I never listened to a lot of their stuff when I was younger (Metallica fan mostly) but I've always appreciated them as a band. I knew the backstory about the two, but Dave and the band definitely made their place in metal
WAS THERE IN WA AUBURN! SO FIRE
Dave is an original member of Metallica if ya didn’t know 😁
Yes, and thank fuck he didn't last long.
Love the thrash metal reactions! My favorite megadeth song is the killing road!
This is some of Megadeth's best, Dave seems to have really dug deep into the worst feeling's around his drug, alcohol and withdrawal issues with this song in particular. The dude really did pretty much go through hell to get clean back then.
Exactly, hit the nail on the head. Take Care
Spent most of lockdown drinking and got myself a bit of a problem -- a liter of vodka every day. Quit cold turkey. Took about a week before I started feeling like sanity was returning and I wasn't going to die. If you've been through this, then you KNOW this song is about what you said. You are correct.
if you went through alcohol and opiate withdrawal. this is what it feels like. absolutely correct.
Without a doubt correct. "Claiming validity for your stupidity" sums it up perfectly
@@josephvanalstyne4049 too many times that I'd like to admit, only alcohol tho. I messed with cocaine a bit here and there, but never got into anything else other than that and weed

That's a badass album. Not a bad song on it.
Ashes In Your Mouth is such a bad ass song. The guitar harmonies always give me chills.
Ashes is probably THE most underrated Megadeth song. It should have the same level of notoriety as Hanger 18 and Holy Wars.
these two DO NOT READ THESE comments.. so don't bother with suggestions.
You guys gotta watch this video when you get a chance. It is about dementia, the video fits the song well.
I was going to suggest the same. A pretty creative video.
*Psychosis. Your grandma probably isn't having this conversation in her head.
In the 1992 live version in Italy he states it’s about Schizophrenia before performing but he’s paraphrased different meanings for it over interviews as well.
One of the best videos from the Golden Age of MTv
I always loved the lyric about his "black tooth grin." Dimebag Darrell of Pantera created a cocktail called a Blacktooth Grin which is a glass of Crown Royal with a splash of Diet Coke. It's delicious
RIP Dime, but that is just a filthy beverage, lol.
Maple Grove Bar just outside of Cleveland serves this as designed and instructed by Dime himself. Last I was there (2008 ish) proceeds from each Blacktooth sold was going to a victims service non-profit of some kind
Actually had black tooth grin with dime never forget
I drink 1 every Saturday night. Getcha pull brothers!
It was real coke not diet.

God Bless
This album, "Symphony of destruction" came out the same yr Metallica's"Black" album did. I always thought this was way better. Try the title track.
The album is countdown to extinction
Black Album came out in 91
Countdown came out in 92
these two DO NOT READ THESE comments.. so don't bother with suggestions.
This is the remastered version
One of their top 5 songs sales and fan wise.
The music video is great.
You should have watched the video clip; it's pretty cool.
Lex u looked alittle disappointed at first. Glad u came around. More megadeth!!!!

Officially it's about scizophrenia
Brad gots it. Lex, too. BTW, sounded like a remastered version.
Remixed too. Totally screwed up the impact of the intro riff. They did the same thing with Darkest Hour.
@@hmpz36911 I like darkest hour remaster though.
@@Yamatsu7 I'll stick to the original, on that one. KIMB is the only one that doesn't bother me, as far as remixes and remasters go.
That remixing is a massive downgrade. The original is so much better pretty much throughout.
240p, it doesn't matter if it's remastered or anything else when it's 240p.
Trust, almost honest, A secret place and train of consequences next please!
A couple other great songs from this album are Skin O' My Teeth and High Speed Dirt. The second one written after and about going skydiving!!
Brad nailed the meaning of this song... it's about schizophrenia, voices in his head, paranoia, blacking out with loss of time and unaware of where you've been or what you've done...
No it’s not
@Alpha Omega ...
Perhaps you know something the rest of us don't... so what did Dave Mustaine tell YOU the song was about???
Yeah "not knowing where I've been" sounds a lot more like DID(Dissociative Identity Disorder)
That's not what schizophrenia does to people.

Hello me it's me again !!!
This is my 8yr old son's favorite song from Megadeth
This is one of the ones where the music video really helps to paint the meaning.
Or could it be he's just Criminally Insane, Brad and Lex, lol
Story of my life by Social Distortion.
Another one of those songs that really needs the video to get the full effect. You'll definitely want to check it out at some point.
Great reaction as always. 😎👍
the look on your faces when u heard his voice.. priceless!! 😂
I love both of your reactions when Dave starts singing...hahahahahahahahaha, what? Priceless.
Are we just gonna ignore the “help” in the title

Always love when lyric videos can't get the lyrics correct. One of my favorite Megadeth songs great record also.
By Dave's own words, the song is about a "s**thouse crazy friend of his (then) girlfriend Pam, and about his own inner struggle not to "live inside his own head".
truly a masterpiece but then again most there music is

I used to work in a mental hospital. This is a song about being mentally ill. I could tell you some stories that are unbelievable. My favorites were the ones that honestly thought they were Jesus Christ
Until they start walking on water 😱
I'm sure nowadays they're treating those patients using positive affirmation. Tell them their feelings about being Jesus Christ are valid, that'll do the trick.
Why do remastered versions always sound like total crap?
What's the point of ruining a studio song? I just do not understand.
Dave likes singing from the perspective of a mentally unstable person, this is definitely one of those songs. It's like the devil on his shoulder telling him to do bad. "Hello me, it's me again."
This isn't even the original song. Sounds like some piss poor remix. Vocals are all messed up..
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
Check the video of this song, it is pretty self-explanatory!
This is the equivalent to Enter Sandman. 2 bad songs by 2 good bands right around the same time they both came out.
Kind of fun. "Hello me, nice talking to myself"....
The original video is way better you see Dave singing to himself.
Check out Hook in Mouth or This Was My Life or Ashes In Your Mouth. Three little ditties by the one and only fire breathing ,skull crushing hell stomping masters of metal MEGADETH.
these two DO NOT READ THESE comments.. so don't bother with suggestions.
more Megadeth!! Peace Sells or No More Mr Nice Guy!
Keep megadeth covers coming guys🤘
Uncle Dave IS the voice in my head
ManOwaR - Blood Of The Kings
Split personality. Jekyll and hyde.
Pretty sure this song is about Ted Bundy
Dave's vocals in this are a tough sell for me. Just sounds cheesy. Solo is fire though. I dig it.
I get it, but I think because his singing voice is very similar to his speaking voice I got past it. (If that makes any sense).
I do have a lot of respect for Dave’s creativity and drive. I believe he said in an interview with Lars that his whole career was about proving them wrong for kicking him out of Metallica. But at the end of the day after getting sober he admitted he was an asshole and deserved it.
@@klownboxer2326 I listened to his memoir on audiobook. Know all about his history with metallica and how it steered his whole life after that.
This song opened my eyes and ears to Megadeth. Absolute Killer
For this one the Official Video would've helped ya'll A LOT!!
It's about split personality killers
You have To have To have To have To watch the Video!
You didn’t do the video. You missed a LOT
Brad hit it on the nose...He's talking to himself.
You MUST watch the video now
Wait till she finds out it’s his real voice
Brad nailed it! Watch the video!
I don't know why but this is my favorite Megadeth song 😊
The snare on the re-masters is just terrible.
Funny timing, just saw Megadeth last Saturday night and of course they played Sweating Bullets.
Hello from New England..Dave Mustain has said in many interviews this song is about his drug use and the resulting collapse of his mental health..He said he would black out for days and then literally wake up with blood stains on his body and didn't know where they came from..Love Mustain or hate him he's an OG metal warrior and has been thru some heavy stuff..Peace...
I m pretty sure that's part of it but I thought Schizophrenia and multi personality were themes in b he song.
Welcome to what most military veterans live everyday fucking day....every fucking hour....every fucking minute....welcome...
Great song!
this whole album is a banger
More megadeth...💪🏽
Video is so over the top
Great drumming by Nick Menza RIP and great solo by Marty Friedman
nope it was Dave Mustaine who played that solo
This is my favorite Metal album of all time. Symphony of Destruction is, to me, a perfect album. There isn't a single bad song on it.
You mean Countdown To Extinction. Symphony Of Destruction is a track, not an album:)
@@carlgibbons5777 you right, lol. that speaks poorly for me but i was probably thinking of my favorite song off the album and thats what i typed
@@juggalonumber27 yes, great track that one. Played it in cover bands:)
I love Psychotron riff, so badass
In my darkest hour is definitely one you need to do when you get back around to megadeth.
It's pure genius and constructed very well from the intro to the guitar solo. Well done guys. Great review and a whopper of a song. Would like to hear you review Metallica Turn the pages. It's a cover and a great one 👍🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
Yeah, Brad got it right away. Reminds me of a friend who had dissociative disorder.

More MEGADETH
This entire album kicks ALL the ass!! You gotta do PSYCHOTRON
PLEASE!
Lex you would love this album. The killer drums plus the many guitar solos plus Dave's unique vocals. Great album!
Ya really should react to Megadeth.. She wolf live.. Rude Awakening..
try some bangers from Megadeth "kill the King", "Angry Again", "Crush Em "
Quirky heavy metal songs?
Check Annihilator "Chicken and Corn" and of course, Annihilator "Brain Dance"
Sweating bullets isn't about anything lol. ITS WHAT GOES ON IN DAVE MUSTAINES MANIACAL MIND
Its not about Dementia its about split personality ( disorder) and Mustaine's Drug and Alcohol problems. This isn't just one of my favorite MegaDeth songs of all Time it's one of my favorite Songs of all Time!
now everybody has to go watch Bill McClintock's video MegaJackson - Sweating Robins.
you're welcome
he sounds like beavis
I respect your opinion . My opinion is he sounds like a confident man that chased his dreams and became successful while achieving that dream.
@@harlanmonk569 thats kool. at the time it was released it was on the MTVs Beavis and Butthead and everyone was saying he sounded like Beavis. but i think he was trying to deal with bad thoughts from being kicked out of Metalica with no second chance. he came back with vengeance and it was awesome!!!!
Now you know why he got kicked out of Metallica. WAY TO INTENSE FOR THE LITTLE BOYS LMMFAO MEGADETH RULES!!!!!!! A MAN AMONG CHILDREN
This inspired Dimebag's signature drink- The Black Toothed Grin
Getchya Pull!
This is a BadAss song!
Panic Attacks is my take, cause i can relate to this song....I have Panic Disorder.....Palms are profoundly sweating..... And a serious phase of MANIA at the sametime......let me tell ya..
Dave Mustaine getting fired from Metallica was the best thing to happen in Metal.....We now have Metallica and Megadeth
Saw them live a couple nights ago. This is amazing live with everyone singing
Much better album than Metallica black! Countdown To Extinction!!
A "Black tooth grin" was Dimebags favorite drink!
You want to really this song get really quirky, look up Bill McClintock’s “Sweating Robins” mashup.
