You guys are brilliant for checking out old school Megadeth. WAKE UP DEAD was the first song I ever heard from them. I was 14 at the time. They were my first concert at 16, and now I’m 48, watching your lovely appreciation.
I'm 53 and I think that's the best song that they've ever done
Hey bro
I’m just trying to make it out the hood by doing reaction videos while smoking weed on my TH-cam channel 😅💨
I am also 48 and Megadeth was also my first concert. So far, so good, so what tour. Savatage opened, then Mustaine and co brought the roof down.
@@SaltySTX SAVATAGE are amazing!! 🔥
Imagine blasting this in your car as you're passing the losers waiting for six hours in line to buy a tv at best buy on Black Friday.
Well, I know what I'm doing on Black Friday. 😂
lol you get it...day after thanksgiving
🤣🤣🤣 thx for the idea
I don't have to imagine. I do it every year!
Best Megadeth Song ever... Back in the dsys when Black Friday was not a shopping event.. 🤣😂🤣
One of my faves \m/
It’s my 2nd favorite, right after Holy Wars…The Punishment Due.
Not only that but how can it be compared to anything else
"Good Mourning / Black Friday" has long been my very favorite Megadeth song too!
Devils Island is my Fav.
Sitting here as a 51 year old man who listened to this back in the day in the 80's I can see why parents were alarmed by metal. ROFL
Im same age as you...I love seeing younger people discovering 80s metal and thrash
Im that age too man and what I loved is that my parents were into stuff like Kiss and Aerosmith, shit like that, so they let me listen to whoever I wanted...
@@randycomerford2038 My parents were cool with my music too...my mom loved Ozzy, GnR and stuff like that
For me it's like a audio horror movie. Cracks me up how even today censors are worried about words than deeds. I watch the Walking Dead where they can disembowel someone , blow their head clean off , but can only say shit or fuck once a show. What kind of stupid upside down shit is that?
My dad would have been cool with it as he’s a rocker at heart. His childhood favorite bands were King Crimson and Pink Floyd. My mom was a hippie and actually went to an Alice Cooper concert when she was 16, but as a mom she was a super strict conservative Christian and I literally was unable to listen to “secular” music growing up (anything not labeled Christian) until I got my own job at 16 and could buy whatever cds I wanted. I had the worst music exposure a child could have with that awful radio friendly Christian gospel soft rock I was basically forced to listen to for 16 years lol
Edit: i need to find out if my mom knows Alive Cooper is actually a Christian but I do know she had to lie to her mom in order to go see him lol
Megadeth always had the best guitar players!!
I don't think Dave would settle for Average.
Testament too, Exodus also, Death Angel....
And Overkill and Annihilator. In fact Dave tried to get Jeff Waters to join Megadeth on several occasions.
I love Megadeth and Metallica in equal measures, but they are definitely different bands.
For sure they are man.
Metallica just doesn't hit me like this...
right the big metallica megadeth debate… Its some ways its like comparing AC/DC and Led zeppelin… Not really playing the same style
Metallica doesn't have Holywars and never will.
@@bluethunder7391 true, but Megadeth doesn't have master of puppets and never will...
The song is about the story of the guy that blamed the devil for his killings it happened in 1984 I think. Basically when Dave sings the part of what the fuck is this, and screamed is the moment that happened and the devil took over and started hammering 😆. Really dark lyrics.
The night stalker I think.
Exactly right
Exactly!!
👍😁👍
When I read that, th 1st one that came to mind was Ramirez, then Berkowitz but I didn't think Berkowitz quite fit
This song still gives me chills. I love this one
Now this is fucking thrash and in my opinion, their best damn album.....
Totally Freaking 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thrash metal/ speed metal.
The entire band was very talented but always ended up partying way to hard.
"Liar" by Megadeth - love the chorus. Lex, Dave Mustaine sings as fast as a guitar solo during the chorus
MegadetH sound so 80s but so timeless. Such musicianship.
Lex is beginning to intuitively comprehend music theory by ear. Guitar solos are played to a musical scale. Long story short, each scale has seven notes, and can be repeated in rising and falling octaves. So the guitarist will play a bunch of sequential notes in a particular scale up and down over and over again for the solo. Sticking to the scale means that every note they strike will sound good played sequentially. I'm drastically oversimplifying here, but Lex is picking this up simply by ear. You rock!!
FUN FACT: This song is one of the reasons you see records with the "Parental Advisory" sticker slapped on them.
I remember watching the hearings and listening to Tipper Gore (i think it was her) read out the lyrics to this song specifically.
I almost feel nostalgic for the PMRC in the wake of "Cancel Culture."
Yep. It was Tipper Gore. Who the hell names their daughter Tipper?
oh yeah, nice!
I wonder if Tipper ever had a chance to listen to Cannibal Corpse just a few years later... 😆
still waiting on that first corpse video to land..........waiting..................waiting.........
Far and Away my favorite song intro MegaDave has ever done. The guitarist Chris Poland that plays the solo on that beginning part absolutely Nails the emotion and Mastery over the little bits of feedback he allows the guitar to shine with and damn dude... So good. And then Black Friday comes along and rip your head off which is equally bad ass. This lineup which is considered one of the two classic lineup was so great
im 99% sure that is Dave who plays the solos at the beginning, Chris Poland plays the final solo in the Black friday part. But yeah, is so great
@@sebastianbenavides2606 the very first solo part is Chris Poland for sure. It's his intonation, his Reliance on major thirds that he runs against his odd 9th and whatnot. Three Jazz. And then it goes into Mustaine when it really starts to get crazy with all the double picking all the stuff as the power cords get prominent. I seen the song live on the peace sells tour
@@sebastianbenavides2606 Chris plays the 1st and 4th solos, Dave plays the 2nd and 3rd.
@@MARSHOMEWORLD Chris and Jeff had that touch of Holdsworth.
@@uslegions2619 Mustaine was such a strong songwriter, and really had a grasp of the craft for arrangement and whatnot.. but I have to say one of his strongest suits was the ability to pick guitar players who were very different from him. As much of a control freak and whatnot if he can obviously be, he knew a good thing when he saw it and both those guys.. well come on.. all his choices in their own way have been spectacular. But I do miss the Chris Poland years the most I think.
I've probably played this LP more than any other over the last, almost, four decades.
One of my favorite Metal songs. In My Darkest Hour is another song of Megadeths that is killer.
Lex nailed it with the guitar neck. They're called scales. Scales are repeated over and over and are repeated at different parts of the neck. Thats shredding in a nut shell. Now you're learning by listening. Great job.
She's brilliant.
Well really are they not riffs... that are moved up and down the scale?
@@hankkingsley9183 yeah, but that’s after we learn about the basic concepts. Like there are twelve notes in an octave, and those notes just repeat.
When you repeat the patterns on the previous two strings quickly it gives the effect that you're playing super fast when it's something that's not that complicated. That's what she heard I think, or maybe the pentatonic shred
I think she was recognizing triplets
Yaaaaaassss! Best Megadeth. Love the intro, Chris Poland worked this
Lately you guys have been hitting a ton of music I grew up listening to , this being a prime example. Thank you and please keep it up!
“Bloodbaths are my way of getting clean”
Best most intense kickass lyric ever!
Lex has a fantastic grasp of guitar, she is a natural and has a good ear and follows the the scales/patterns. Enjoy the journey the guitar takes you on!
This whole album is pure Legendary Thrash Goodness. The killer guitar riffage at 6:04 (on this reaction vid) got me hooked on Thrash Metal when I was a wee lil fella back in the day
This album was my first introduction to Megadeth. I instantly fell in love! I know have all their albums!
This Album is simply a MASTERPIECE
This song predicted Black Friday shopping lol
'Rust in Peace... Polaris' by Megadeth would be a great reaction🤘🤘🤘
3:17 She's really observant! I have never heard a non-musician have such a detailed understanding of how the instrument is played without having lessons or someone showing you how it's done. I never would have known that's what they were doing if I was just listening to the music without knowing an instrument.
lol..I love this reaction. Brad looks confused and concerned and Lex looks like shes having the time of her life...just awesome
Probably my favorites Megadeth song.
The bass player lives 90 miles from my home town in Minnesota Jackson, he has is own coffee company Ellefson coffee company signature blend is called Roast in Peace .., he’s a country boy grew up farming corn with his father
This is a banger...my last words always makes me crank the volume too
There was a movie out around this time called Silent Rage, with Chuck Norris. A guy went off his meds and started hacking people up.
The best ,Megadeth and watching you all get blown away by Dave and Co. Such badass songs!
Take it easy you guys !
More Megadeth!! I suggest “Sweating Bullets”, one of my favorite Megadeth songs.
Absolutely! The whole "Countdown to Extinction" album is great.
Do WAKE UP DEAD!!
My last words
This cassette was played in the high school parking lot before most every mornings 1st period class.
She has a good ear for music.
I've watched so many reactions to this song and I've never seen anyone try to explain guitar scales like this. Hell, I don't think many people even comment on the guitars themselves and mostly just talk about the song in general amd the lyrics. This was a great video and yes, guitar (and music) is based on "repeats" of note groupings. Essentially if you're in a certain key and you play on a certain scale, every note you play will sound good. Sometimes people play "wrong" notes to achieve dissonance to create certain moods too
first metal album i ever heard at age 9...kept a copy since. Im 44 now and still my favorite metal album of all time. i was 9 in 86 when this came out
Greatest metal band of all time.
This album is a master work. Dave was a great.
IS.
Its funny how your lady is properly rocking out to this and picking up the technical aspects too!...
Brad, your girl Lex is a metalhead. thanks for letting us watch her react to these old tunes.
it is about waiting in line during a black friday sale, and what dave wanted to do to the ppl in line… he says it in an interview
Glad to see y'all going back into the early stuff, Megadeth has always been great. You should try some songs off the first album as well (Killing is My Business... and Business is Good).
Check out the tracks "Chosen Ones" and "Looking Down the Cross".
The drum fill at 5. 20 is how you should play the drums
One of my 2 all time favorite Megadeth songs along with Set The World Afire [which you guys should check out], just magnificent frenetic energy. Just pulls you into the pit.
Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson took Megadeth to a completely new level
I love how she's all about it. Megadeth is amazing
Dave Mustaine was in his mid-20's when he almost single-handedly wrote and co-produced this record "Peace sells, but who's buyin' " in 1986... and he was on heroin & junk during those years... impressive🤘🤘🔥
He had the 4 megadeth albums in the vault mainly in 1983.
@@Nissardpertugiu No, he didn't... Mustaine was upset after Metallica's "Kill 'em all" came out cos they recorded his songs which he wanted for the first Megadeth record. He had to write "Killing is my business" from scratch in 1984. Only 1 early song 'Megadeth' was changed over time and made the 3rd album as 'Set the world afire'.
'In my darkest hour' was written after Cliff Burton died in 1986 and 'Rust in peace' was demoed in 1989 w/ Chris Poland on guitar.
Mustaine wrote music between Megadeth tours, but was too broke & too high to write 4 albums worth of music in 1983.
@@sumonjamal1653 no when ellefson came out he said Dave had already the skull beneath the skin , conjuring , devil island , hook in mouth , with megadeth it was the first stuff Dave played to Junior
@@sumonjamal1653 Rust in peace had material of the Panic era .
You have even thoses riffs in Mcgovney garage tapes of 1982
@@Nissardpertugiu I think u got it wrong. First, McGovney only had Metallica's early recorded demos and second, he and Mustaine did not get along. So that claim is patently false.
Mustaine had riffs... he likely showed David Ellefson stuff he was working on, but not a whole 4 albums worth of music.
And Panic songs being on 'Rust in peace'? Who said that? False. Totally false. No evidence of that claim.
The lead guitarist on this, accompanying Dave Mustaine, is Chris Poland. He is a jazz fusion player with a finger injury that allows him to do wide stretches on the fretboard. A few years after this, he released his first solo album, which unfortunately for Brad is instrumental. I'd strongly suggest doing some instrumental tracks though, even if Lex just does them by herself.
Best tracks by Chris Poland:
Alexandria
Row Of Crows
Club Ded
The fact that you are reviewing this song gives you a thumbs up! Keep up the good work Brad and Lex!
Yes! Awesome reaction as usual guys. One of the all time best metal songs and that intro is off the chain. Thanks guys
I love watching brad and lex every song they listen to you can see they feel it positively and have respect for every song they listen to love it
This woman's a keeper... Keep her
Okay I have officially been watching you guys for over 4 hours now, I don't normally watch this much TH-cam.
That's exactly how they play that particular lick on the guitar lol seriously
Lex is a Metal Goddess and Brad is there because he has no choice.🤘🤘🤘
Check out "Peace Sells But Who's Buying" on the same album. Their most famous song.
May 5 th Charleston SC. Megadeth with Lamb of God !!! I got my 🎟!!
Wow I missed a great stream...was at a Jinjer concert. My favorite Megadeth song!
This is one of my favorites! Dave said a few years ago he won’t play this anymore at shows since he has found god .
True. But we'll be back kind of brings this back.
Try Liar by Megadeth. It is essentially a diss track, and Dave goes in on it 100%
Was just listening to that one this morning!
Excellent suggestion!! 💯
My absolute favorite band all through High School!! The guitar player and drummer? They grew up in my small town. My father played guitar with Chris Poland, the lead guitarist. That's not bragging it's just pretty cool LOL
Check out the band Clutch! Careful with that mic, cypress groove, Burning beard, electric worry,yeti. Plenty of great songs, you’ll love em.
Peace sells .. but who´s buying should be the motto for the UN xD.. This is about a man who is possessed by a demon and goes on a gruesome killing spree, which becomes known as "Black Friday."
btw despite Kirk (replaced Mustaine in Metallica) being taught by Satriani, Dave Mustaine is on a level of his own, he is a METAL god, even more considering how he learned to play the guitar.
The UN sells wars and domination, abuse kids, burn our money for nothing. They call sh.. chocolate.
No wonder china and cuba dictatorship are member of that crap
You cannot teach ears and taste. There are players that feel the music, and players that know the music. Feeling is more Universal, as it comes out as genuine and original.
Great classic song by MEGADETH love it🤘🤘
YESSSSS!! One of the GREATEST THRASH METAL SONGS EVER!!!! All about a serial killer on a rampage!! This album is seriously a Masterpiece!! You guys need to checkout "My Last Words" next!! From the same album and my favorite track from it!!
Lex asked about the guitarist being cyclical when playing and she is absolutely right. It is a scale that the notes come from and the scale is played in a certain key and the scale can be repositioned up and down the neck as long as it is in the same key. ANNNNDDD that is how solos are created….. for the most part!!!
If you wanna' see Megadeth's current lead guitarist actually practicing a blistering solo, there is a video on TH-cam where Kiko Laureiro plays his guitar parts from, "Tornado Of Souls", which includes the solo. It was written by Megadeth's former lead guitarist, Marty Friedman and it is widely considered one of the finest solos of the genre.
You'll get an idea just how talented these players actually are.
I subbed after seeing the tom McDonald video but seeing how lex always jams out to the music made me hit the bell. Alot of the songs you play i havnt heard before either. Im starting to pay attention to lyrics more since watching you two.
Thrash in its infancy, strong message leading to powerful release of anger and rage. Mostly in a crowd of the like minded and fury of a mosh pit.
You both going to DIG this one.
People will never know how hard Chris Poland’s 2nd solo was
The Guitar sound you are hearing is called "Triplets"......Basically, 3 notes in the space of 1 note (this can go WAY higher than 3 notes)
One way too make the "Triplet" sound is a technique called "Hammer on/Pull Offs", this is where the sound is made by the impact of the finger on the neck and not "picking" of the string.
This can make for some very quick notes, as you heard :)
Man y'all are giving me whiplash going from Brandy to Megadeth.
When people mention Megadeth, this is the song i think about, this album is ridiculous, but this song is even a notch higher. Good shit
*Lex* It’s seriously a shame that you’re not a musician, because you definitely have the instinct. Playing a solo is exactly like playing a piano. In Rock, it’s pretty typical to play three notes at a time... especially the faster you play. Great ear. I’ve been playing since I was 11, & am now 48, btw... Major props for your ear, & instinct.
Megadeth "sweating bullets" is a must. Very creative, funny awesomeness
Glad you guys are still banging some Megadeth! I'd vote for Set the World Afire next 🎸
🤘🏼 rock on 🤘🏼 Awesome video
Damn Lex you really know how to pick a song to ask about riffs lol. Megadeth are known for their intricate riffing, what you were describing in the end seems to me to be basically what’s called triplets (dividing a beat into 3 equal parts) typically played in a sequence, and in this case played over in same and different positions related to the key of the song. Hope that makes sense
Listen to Sweating bullets, Synaphy of destruction, Peace sells but who's buying, to name a few.
they still did not listen symphony solo?
lol She is adorable, constant smile.
I was 13 when this came out and I saw the Exploited at my first concert! This was always my favorite song on the tape. Oh shit! I mean the C.D., Ummm.. I mean my phone. lol. I would rewind and go back and back to this song.
my most favorite song and this song was originally supposed to be a instrumental but the record company wanted it to be a song so Dave added these lyrics
"this part" is a solo so it varies depending on who's doing a solo
My favorite Megadeth song You guys are awesome Keep it up
Lex you are headed in the right direction with the guitar fundamentals.
One of my favorite songs ever.
Check out "My Last Words" from this album, it is one of my favorite Megadeth songs. Supposedly Lars from Metallica says the same thing. I can see Lex wants to shred some guitar, love it! :) I've been playing since the early 80s when I was kid, and I know a lot of Megadeth songs. I would say in general the songs are on the more difficult end of the spectrum in terms of heavy metal stuff. Most of the riffs aren't hard to play for a decent player per se, but they often contain lots of notes, nuance, and speed, so precision is required to get them to sound right. Guitar solos are often hard to learn because the original players usually put a lot of personality in them, even if not on purpose. Many people can technically learn to play the solos, but getting them to sound exactly right is often not that easy. That is one of the cool things about the guitar though! Anyway, I also really like "Mary Jane" off the "So Far So Good So What" Megadeth album. That is one of their most fun songs to play for me, it just has these kick-ass guitar hero style riffs. Great channel BTW!
That was str8 fire!
So much beautiful noise!!
That scream Dave makes in the intro is such a great expression of the lyric.
Lex...YES. Different frets and different strings.
I’ve seen so few reviews for this tune. It’s amazing guitar work
She Wolf live from the Rude Awakening DVD. Is awesome y'all
We were all big fans of the slasher flicks of the 70's and 80's. And it was reflected in the music that us metal heads were into.
The band Rigor Mortis is a great example of that.
What you are describing is a galloping rhythm . It’s pretty much the basis of all thrash metal sounds
They're called triad arpeggios... And what he did there was climb the circle of fifths... This allowed the listeners brain to accept notes from multiple scales... I'm not sure if Dave mustaine knew what he was doing there but it sure was effective
You might say "he makes really good use of what talent he has"
My daily shout out for Roads or Glory Box by Portishead live from Roseland NYC ✌️
