It's said that after recording that solo, Dave Mustaine - being a perfectionist and always over-critical during recording sessions - stood up and shook Friedman's hand, saying nothing else.
Marty Friedman (lead guitarist of megadeth at the time) is my personal favorite solo guitarist of all time. The story telling in his solo's is unmatched by most.
Fun fact. He wrote the lyrics about Diana, his girlfriend of about 4 years. Toxic relationship, but he couldn't pull himself from it until shortly before this album. You should read his book. He did an autobiography, interesting stuff! Soooo late. But hope you enjoyed the birthday :)
@@krazzko MoP and Fear Of The Dark yeah its debatable..One and Fade To Black are good but aren't between the first ones most ppl think of when they think abt metal...
Exactly, I absolutely agree with your thought about the solo. What makes a metal/rock guitar solo legendary is how it is composed not only by the emotional elements, but also by thematic components that ultimately creates a sequence or story for that song. Brilliant analysis, Lilly!
Marty Friedman has that ability to make his solos tell a story. His solo in Lucretia is another beautiful build-up. Extremely creative. Again Extremely hard to play because he goes all over the fret board for it.
Most people in the know hear "Tornado of Souls" and INSTANTLY they think "ahh man...that SOLO!" 😆 Marty Friedman would have become legendary if this was his only solo released. Thank God he gave Dave more years in Megadeth! 🤘 This entire album is a Marty Friedman & Nick Menza showcase. The second best Marty solo on the album is Lucretia. He's just something special. Happy Birthday! 🎉
Love the reactions. It's so great for an old metal head like myself to see new metal heads reacting for the first time. It's like I'm reliving that same beautiful moment when I popped this album into my CD player and heard this song. 👏
The lyrics are my life. The "kiss of death" means that he is jaded. Since he's "seen the light" he now knows love is out of the question for him. It's pure lust now.
That must be a joke? Sorry, nobody in Thrash Metal has guitar solos that compare to Artillery or Angel Dust and Black Sabbath I can name better solos all day.
If you are covering the "4" and decide to get to Anthrax, Among The Living is a great album. As for Slayer, Seasons In The Abyss is my personal favorite. Great reactions!
Ive Seen so many reaction of this album. Marty Friedman is such an incredible guitar player. Before Megadeth he use to play with an other guitar player named Jason Becker. Name of the band: Cacophony. If you like crazy guitar solos youll enjoy listening IT. Happy bday
The whole album Rust In Peace is just legendary. I still remember back around 1990 when it first came out, going to a local Kmart of all places to buy it. They had all the CDs locked up behind glass cases and no matter how long i waited i could not get a employee to come over and unlock it for me. Finally i gave up and went to a local record store.
I think of guitar hero when I watch Megadeth’s video of the song She Wolf live Rude Awakening concert video. It has dueling guitars and incredible drums definitely worth a reaction too.
This is my favorite megadeth song. I’m glad you reacted to it. This guitar solo kills it and I wish I could even come close to playing it. I’d like to think I probably showed you this song when we were growing up. I was usually listening to megadeth. This is your cousin by the way. You know which one lol.
You already can talk guitar.....the fact you hear the feelings the musician is conveying through the solos....that's understanding on a lvl most overlook as noise
What you said about talking in guitar is really interesting because that's what jazz guitarists are taught to do, basically trading licks and solos as if they're both having a conversation. Look up the skit Jazz Dispute - Dizzy Gillespie vs. Charlie Parker Lip Sync here on TH-cam for a fun example of this ^^ Brilliant reaction, again!
NICE! Now please react to 'Good Mourning/Black Friday'. Two songs in one, the first few minutes(Good Mourning) is a beautiful sounding, sexy as hell guitar playing. Then Black Friday kicks in and it is amazing, heavy, technical thrash. Edit: 6:35 - Chris Poland is good at using the whammy bar to make the guitar sound like it's crying. That's what he basically did on "Good Mourning". Not to forget about how awesome Dave's awesome sounding clean guitar part.
Conveying thoughts/feelings through instruments is the essence of Metal/Rock music. Now, if you really want to hear someone's thoughts come through with instruments alone, you should listen to instrumental metal/rock music like Andy James's solo projects. After Midnight for instance from his Arrival album is a beautiful track.
you absolutely right about pausing during the solo some English cheek (vocal coach) on YT was checking messages on the phone during Painkiller solo - I say - that's a hidden Spice Girl's fan right there reacting to music she doesn't even like
Happy birthday! Best luck and health and all the best emotions for you! Just seen two of your reactions on my laptop, couldn't stop although our dog was begging to go out, so I watched your third vid a row now, this time on my cell phone (and it is freezing cold outside too) It is unbelievable how promptly exactly you pick the right words to describe what happens in the song and the listener. I think you probably did a better job expressing my emotions than I could, even though these were your first reactions
This whole album is a masterclass in thrash. I actually prefer Holy Wars to Tornado of Souls but that's just me :) Check out "Rust in Piece...Polaris" ✌
Nobody "speaks" metal like Dave. Listen to When. Don't know why he throws a tribute to Am I Evil in the middle, kinda ruins it a bit, but right up there with one of my favorite metal songs of all time. He "bites" the words... Slow pace, but unique and very heavy! He describes it as "vitriolic"... Perfect description.
Gotta do Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from the Flight 666 Live concert ... based on the poem of the same name by Samuel Taylor Cooleridge :D
Megadeth has the shredding tunes - 'Wake up dead'... 'Skull beneath the skin'... '502'... 'Take no prisoners'... 'She-wolf' 🤘🤘🔥🔥 but they also have subtle songs... 'A tout le monde'... 'Symphony of destruction'... 'Trust'... 'In my darkest hour'
Nah i tried Guitar Hero once wasn´t for me Killing is my Business....and Business is good , architecture of aggression or the song that got me into Megadeth Symphony Of Destruction....Happy birthday
Happy Birthday Lilly! Metal is a form of Rock music. An extreme form of it. Just as Gangsta Rap is a form of hip-hop. An extreme form of it. This song is not really a love/break up song - they lyrics implying a love/hate relationship is more of just a metaphor. The is more about the whirlwind of addiction. There is often a hidden deeper meaning in alot of metal songs. In rap, they use clever "doubles" in the lyrics to express hidden meanings. In metal it's usually creative philosophical metaphors.
The opening line is literally about the phone call in which Dave fires their manager. I believe the entirety of the song is a commentary of that entire business relationship.
Happy birthday! Hope you have a great day~ Also, if you want a Megadeth song with a lot of great and beautiful solos! Do Five Magics or Peace Sells, you are going to love them ✨
You do such an excellent job analyzing music. Well done, you really opened my eyes to this song and Hanger 18 recently. You also seem to notice a lot of the same things I do in these songs. Happy belated birthday btw :3
If your like me when this album first came out I said " Holy Wars..The Punishment Due is the greatest " . Then I heard Lucretia and I thought man " THIS song is the best on the album " ! THEN ...I heard Rust in Peace ..Polaris and I realized it was just a DAMN GOOD ALBUM ...PERIOD ! PK
Happy birthday and good choice on the tune. If you're interested, Peace Sells,...is a good one and pretty much the whole Symphony of Destruction album is great.
Happy birthday Lilly, great reaction to a great song. As an old thrasher I'd like to suggest Sanctuary - Die for my sins. This song has one of the most distinctive voices in all of thrash metal, the late great Warrel Dane.
Tornado of Souls is one of the greatest songs ever in the history of heavy metal music and the guitar solo of this song was written, composed & played by the one n only mighty guitarist Marty Friedman. This song's guitar solo is also one of the greatest guitar solos ever in heavy metal music history, not just because it seems fast or complex while hearing but in reality the solo is a lot easier to play than the riff part of this song. The whole song's melody is incomparable till these days.
Dragonforce (Speed), Sabaton (Power), Judas Priest (Heavy), Shadow Of Intent (Deathcore), Fit For A King (Metalcore), Epica (Symphonic). Also you have to check out Testament. They were formed in 1983, 2 years after Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax but same year as Megadeth.

This solo is widely regarded as being the greatest guitar solo in thrash metal. I couldn’t agree more
Such an incredible song with one of the greatest guitar solo of all time (for me)
widely known as one of the best, another would be through the fire and flames, both pretty nuts :)
You are not the only one
@@khalebrobertson9907through the flames isnt a good solo, its just super super fast, this is a awesome solo cause it suits the rythym so well
i mean we have Eruption by Van Helen too the solo incredibly insane
True Words🤘
that guitar solo by Marty Friedman... chills... oh and happy B-day!!! 🎂🎂🎂🎂
Thank you my friend!!
Marty will always be the best guitarist in Megadeth. Especially now that they've tuned down and sound like crap.
It's said that after recording that solo, Dave Mustaine - being a perfectionist and always over-critical during recording sessions - stood up and shook Friedman's hand, saying nothing else.
@@fifis677 Chris Poland...
Tornado of Souls is a fantastic song. But Hangar 18 is the song with a lot of solos (the 5+ minutes version) ;)
☝️this
Do NOT do the official music video cuz they cut the song.
first 4 ones are the greatest in my opinion. what do you think
was about to say this, hangar 18 if you want to hear some solos! dave and marty go AT IT on that one
Marty Friedman (lead guitarist of megadeth at the time) is my personal favorite solo guitarist of all time. The story telling in his solo's is unmatched by most.
All the guitarists that Mustaine has ever hired are all top notch
@@tritontransport Yeah, Kiko is kicking ass atm
Fun fact.
He wrote the lyrics about Diana, his girlfriend of about 4 years.
Toxic relationship, but he couldn't pull himself from it until shortly before this album.
You should read his book. He did an autobiography, interesting stuff!
Soooo late. But hope you enjoyed the birthday :)
I am so lucky too have been born in this truly amazing era of "Metal" music!!!! (52 years old) Happy belated B-day Lilly!!!!
Burnt Ice is a Megadeth song that is often overlooked but I think is a great song
Dope recommendation
album?
@@LiQuidQuo It's from United Abominations
@@LiQuidQuo United Abominations
@@LiQuidQuo United Abomination
Arguably one of the best metal songs ever 🔥🔥🔥 Oh and happy birthday btw haha
Thank you (:
Haha, good song, but after One,MoP, Fade to Black, Fear of the dark, etc..
@@krazzko MoP and Fear Of The Dark yeah its debatable..One and Fade To Black are good but aren't between the first ones most ppl think of when they think abt metal...
@@krazzko Good morning/ black friday, Holy wars>>>>>>>>>>>> Master of posers
@@Kevin-cv4ib but numbers talk this: Rust in Peace sales: 2+ Million, MoP 6+ Million sales :/ Hetfield > Mustaine, Metallica > Megadeath its so simple :)
Looking beautiful as always! Happy birthday!
Thank you jacob (:

This album is a masterpiece!!!

Marty's vibrato and bends sound fucking amazing , no one have Marty's vibrato , I mean zakk wylde have a great one but not as good as this one
My favorite off the album is Take No Prisoners.
Greatest thrash intro of all time.
Short, but low-end bliss!
Second verse REALLY kicks in!
I would say that take no prisoners does come closer to any other at pushin holy wars aside. close....
Mustaine- Ellefson- Friedman- Menza Best Megadeth Lineup Period.
I skydived to this song!! It couldnt have been more perfect...love your reactions.
Now that's something right there.
Should have dived to "high speed dirt"
Hangar 18 is a must, they play it in every show... this album is ridiculous how good is it
Solo written & performed by Marty Friedman! Legend! 🤘
...song written by Mustaine, solo written by Friedman!
Most people in the know hear "Tornado of Souls" and INSTANTLY they think "ahh man...that SOLO!" 😆 Marty Friedman would have become legendary if this was his only solo released.

I think Hangar 18 will be my next Megadeth reaction tbh. Thank you for the birthday wishes!! (:
@@lillyjanereacts hangar 18 also has 11 solos lol
Happy Birthday :) glad you've heard this fantastic tune :)
Me too, it was perfect for today!!
THIS was the one I was waiting for, and Happy Birthday!!!
I am glad I could deliver! Thank you for the birthday wishes (:
The lyrics are my life. The "kiss of death" means that he is jaded. Since he's "seen the light" he now knows love is out of the question for him. It's pure lust now.
This is widely considered the BEST guitar solo in Metal history, for good reason! Absolute classic song! Can't wait for Hangar 18 👽👽👽
That must be a joke? Sorry, nobody in Thrash Metal has guitar solos that compare to Artillery or Angel Dust and Black Sabbath I can name better solos all day.
@@joshuamasserant8215black sabbath is known for their base vocals and drums I barely hear people talk about the guitarist.
@@tzuo6764 ?
Iommi gets plenty of praise lol, especially for the 80's Dio era.
Idk bro floods exists

Check out his original band Hawaii, they were great

They had all the CDs locked up behind glass cases and no matter how long i waited i could not get a employee to come over and unlock it for me. Finally i gave up and went to a local record store.
"Countdown to Extinction" and "A Tout Le Monde", two of the best of Megadeth.
trust and holy wars?
also symphony of destruction, in my darkest hour and peace sells.
Umm if your a yuppie hipster who thinks metalika is metal kinda guy,maybe
I think of guitar hero when I watch Megadeth’s video of the song She Wolf live Rude Awakening concert video. It has dueling guitars and incredible drums definitely worth a reaction too.
Happy Birthday here binge watching Metallica and Megadeth but hope to see more Metal 🤘
This is my favorite megadeth song. I’m glad you reacted to it. This guitar solo kills it and I wish I could even come close to playing it.
I’d like to think I probably showed you this song when we were growing up. I was usually listening to megadeth.

Architecture of Aggression is an awesome song that most everyone ignores, this song has got to be on your Megadeth journey
One of my favorites and I’m a huge Megadeth fan from the beginning
The solo is the benchmark for every player. I've been playing for 25 years and still a challenge to play like marty
Happy B-day and great reaction! 🔥🔥🔥
In my darkest hour is a “woe is me” type of heart-ache song for the first half 😂 but he realizes he’s that BBBB 😈😂💖

Happy birthdayy, great react and I'm also on my birthday
Happy bday Lily!! Keep going on this metal journey!!
Brilliant analysis of the solo and how it mirrors the escalating chaos of Mustaine's relationship with that person! I think you're right.
Belated happy birthday!
Great choice!
Happy birthday and enjoy the album, it’s a masterpiece from start to finish, this is just one of a few favorite songs on the Album
I am hella excited for more Megadeth!! Thank you for wishin me a happy birthday !!! (:

Absolute classic of a song and one of the best solos ever
from this same album, Five Magics (original version) the remastered has an older Dave singing D:
Happy birthday fellow October libra just a few days after mine! Ya still have to check out megadeth she wolf if ya like solos!

Peace Sells is the song to go to next.
Possibly I might suggest Into The Lungs of Hell/Set The World On Fire.
If your like me when this album first came out I said " Holy Wars..The Punishment Due is the greatest " . Then I heard Lucretia and I thought man " THIS song is the best on the album " ! THEN ...I heard Rust in Peace ..Polaris and I realized it was just a DAMN GOOD ALBUM ...PERIOD ! PK
Best metal solo of all time.
Boy I have I never been happier to not work with somebody; I would get sent to HR so damn fast.
One of my 2 warm up songs on guitar along with Holy Wars. Love both songs. Have a metal ass Birthday!! \m/\m/
Happy Birthday Lilly Jean
Megadeth, Pearl Jam, Van Halen and Led Zeppelin. I listen to these 4 bands every single day. They make my life better.
Happy birthday and good choice on the tune. If you're interested, Peace Sells,...is a good one and pretty much the whole Symphony of Destruction album is great.
This album and excursion demise are the best albums of the 90s
Happy birthday Lilly🙂
You really enjoy this wonderful music...your reactions are so genuine and sweet!!!
Nice observation and reaction!
Wake up Dead & In My Darkest Hour next please 🔥🔥
Such beautiful young women with good taste in music! Happy Birthday❣🤘🔥🥳
Such kind words thank you (:
