Agreed man! I've studied that first solo in particular. The man is a crafstman.. the way he intro the solo with those nuanced hammer ons around the melody is nothing I've ever heard before. So creative.
This song was actually inspired by the death of one of Zetro's friends. They had just come off tour and he found out over a phone call. Not sure how close they were but it's pretty obvious that the band's anti-suicide. There's an interview about it somewhere around here.
So it seems like an anti suicide song . ...it might b sending a different message...bad ass guitar riffs as only Exodus can provide....many many reasons why they like king diamond remain underated in the Real Metal world
One of my favourite songs! Can never get tired of it. The riffs, the vocals, the magnificent solos, the great lyrics and the positive message. Just perfection!
My favorite song from this album. . Love this jam. Cool video too. . Great guitar work and guitar solos. . I saw this album tour twice. . Kick ass concert. . Met them too. . Signed my CD 💿. . 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I dont know why people dont like this album.Its masterpiece!Only thing they were going to litle different from their signature style,but anyway its great(for bad mood)!
Simply, they don't like it. I listen to it album ocassionaly but yet don't like it in full. It's not that bad (force of habit, count your blessings, me myself and I a good day to die, architect of pain, they're good songs) but it's the worst of all their albums (for me, at least). Sometimes it's not just random hatred, but just "I don't like it."
EXODUS, I have been a fan of yours since I was about 15, the Toxic Waltz Era🤘🤘 I’ve felt like giving up many times in life and happy I never gave in. Almost 11 years ago I lost my 17 year old Son to suicide, nobody ever saw it coming. Many of us are still trying to heal. Thank you for the song and all the great music over the years!
Underrated album. It was hard time for band. But the record still kicks. Playing was top notch, and tunes were great. Unfornately, it didn't work out as intended. Hail Exodus!
I know alot of people this they sold out making this song because it is so different. but after all these years it is still one of my favorites. The metal blues kicks ass
I like this album. And love this song. . I saw this album tour twice. Kick ass concert both times. They opened for black sabbath. Both bands killed it 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yeah. Has some good songs but, at least, for me is they worst album. (Such a masterpiece song is Architect of Pain or the selftitled... and this song is great too)
@@spearhead_99 Architect of pain. Is a fantastic song. Bad ass jam. . I love that jam. With outstanding guitar work and guitar solos. . Hell yeahhhhhh 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@electriccreamman1374 Amen to that 🙏... Bad ass song. . Love this jam. . Cool video too. . Bad ass guitar solo. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
woke up this morning to a look outside ,decided today is a good day to die, I got metal in my veins, this song really speaks to me , the drums are awesome, love that slide guitar at the intro,vocals are mean love this song
The main riff got to be one of my favourite metal riffs ever and I also like the anti-suicide message of this song. 90s trash metal lacked the speed of the 80s but still was heavy as hell!

Woke up this morning and he, he took a look at the sky The sun was hot and glowing decided today is a good day to die He wasn't sure just how, no he didn't know, but he knew the reasons why No one saw this coming because he kept it all inside Out of control like a runaway train desperate to end all his pain You've got to understand there's a better plan if you can open your eyes You told yourself on your road to ruin Today is a good day, a good day to die Life to you is such a heavy burden Today is a good day, a good day to die So that's what you wanna do? Take the easy way out Suicide's only for cowards, is that what you're all about Are you afraid of the world around you, are you afraid of what might be? Think of the ones who love you all the things you'll never see Out of control like a runaway train desperate to end all his pain You've got to understand there's a better plan if you can open your eyes Friends all around, yet you feel so alone Today is a good day, a good day to die Carry on and you'll find the peace you've never known Today is a good day, a good day to die.l
Crank it many many years after this album had already came out I used to crank this song in the car for my daughter when she was a baby and she would just bang her head and love it 🤘🔥2007
I bought FoH back in 96. I saw those guys in the front row twice with Ballof and got a pick from Rick. Good old teen days in the 90's! I aways loved this álbum! Today I'm forty, diagnosed with borderline syndrome. Lost my parents and my wife after 11 years of marriage. I don't have Balls to take my life, but I've been thinking aboit it lately. At the time I thought this was for cowards and crazy People. Nowadays I'm one like them. Thank you A LOT for this song!!! Suicide is only for cowards!!!! Best regards from Brazil!! Churrasco, caipirinha!!! Paul Loved it!!!
This album gets severely over looked. Even though it didn't have hunting, the leads are probably gary/ricks craziest (or up there in the top ten craziest) of their career. The songs are also masterfully written. But whatever I'm happy to be a dork and cherish this record while the majority of donks over looks it.
Have always loved this album as much ifnot more than all the others since the early 90s so hard to believe it's been that long my first album from them was Pleasures of the Flesh. One foot in the grave is my all time Exodus songs they dedc should have been the number one in the big 4 if I were the king dick that makes such decisions not holding my breath for them to be inducted into the hall of posers lol!!!
My favorite Exodus album. They got a lot of shit for the slower tempo songs, but so did Slayer on Seasons in the Abyss and they are both Masterpieces \m/
I had an traffic accident in 1995 and the jeep I was on turned upside down. this song was playing on my walkman at that moment.
That's pretty fucking metal
Wow. That's pretty cool. Glad you didn't die though.
@@charlesmarriott451 It's fucking metal until it's someone you love.
@@MattWeismiller1994 No it´s metal anyway
@@MattWeismiller1994 dont message your ex over it
Perhaps one of the most underrated metal songs of all time.
Kelly Black The whole albums underrated
Real talk bro, I listen to this thinking it's watched millions of times, such a classic sound and yet such low views
So is the band
Absolutely
Have to say the same but not to me 🤘🔥
One of the best double guitar solos in metal history. What a guitar players.
“What a guitar players” 👏👏
Fuckin H-Team!
The H Team... I miss that duo!
Agreed man! I've studied that first solo in particular. The man is a crafstman.. the way he intro the solo with those nuanced hammer ons around the melody is nothing I've ever heard before. So creative.
Damn straight. Rick and Gary killing it on this tune.
This song saved me. Thank you so much Exodus! Keep thrashing!
Thanks for listening!
🐉✨They seem to have a way of doing that!?.... Same Here!💫
Exodus Rocks 🤘
Think of the ones who love you
All the things you'll never see... Great lyrics
lol why is the only comment they replied to

heard the guy wrote a 10 page suicide note, pretty sad stuff really.
So it seems like an anti suicide song . ...it might b sending a different message...bad ass guitar riffs as only Exodus can provide....many many reasons why they like king diamond remain underated in the Real Metal world
I've always thought it was about Evan McCaskey, one of the band's former guitarists who committed suicide.
One of my favourite songs! Can never get tired of it. The riffs, the vocals, the magnificent solos, the great lyrics and the positive message. Just perfection!
My favorite song from this album. . Love this jam. Cool video too. . Great guitar work and guitar solos. . I saw this album tour twice. . Kick ass concert. . Met them too. . Signed my CD 💿. . 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I wish Zetro would sing like this more often. Not that I don't love his wicked Bon Scott impersonation, but his vocals here are just awesome!
Ty for this lyrics. Because of it, I kept me alive. Besides of trying suicide twice, nowadays I try to live, thinking of the ones who love me
ya still kicking?
Yes. Still
Good to know. You're not alone in this battle
@@isaacdaora Amen to that. Dont gve up bro.

I don’t think anyone got it
I dont know why people dont like this album.Its masterpiece!Only thing they were going to litle different from their signature style,but anyway its great(for bad mood)!
I think the retarded album cover kills it for a lot of people.

29 years today to this masterpiece! A big hug from Brazil!

Hail Exodus!
I love this song. The best of exodus in my opinion. I think bands like Exodus and Testament are very underrated.
TOTALLY agree on all points!!
@@ironbeast6 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
*EXODUS*
The service of METAL
Gary holt Brazil love you
I know alot of people this they sold out making this song because it is so different. but after all these years it is still one of my favorites. The metal blues kicks ass
One of my favorite songs, with one of the greatest duel guitar solos EVER. Very underrated.
Exodus makes guitars ROAR ! This is it. Heavy Metal !
Such a underrated album, it has some good songs
Count your blessing is sick!
Great fuckin' album! 🤘 no idea why people don't like it. Whatever.

Ricks solos was always amazing.
This song actually sounds me like grunge but I love it ! Exodus one of the best thrash metal bands !
GOL DE BARCELONA i wish they made more songs that sound like this exodus would easily be my favorite band
It sounds like a mixture of Grunge and Stoner.
Stoner thrash??!!
It sounds like a mix of Southern and Groove Metal
@@nikkivest792 So, you don't like it Exodus. XD I like it this song but...I preffer when they come with the thrash.
Just discovered this song this week. What a head banger. Excellent track.
One of my he most underrated metal albums ever. I know Gary still doesn’t like it but it’s a 90’s masterpiece.
hellboundTX333 His loss
Hunolt is so underrated and under appreciated. Miss the H team. Rick is a helluva player.
Chops McGhee His solo there was pretty good and a good segway for Holt, I like Ricks just as much
His solos were the best.
The H Team
His solos creative and executed perfectly
2019 and still listening to this, amazing grungy sound, love it!
that a song! I listened this music for the first time at 10 year ago or so. One of the best thrash metal bands of the world, together of Testament.
This is the most underrated song in the universe.
Perfect song for the funeral of a thrash metal lover...
Best ANTI SUICIDE SONG ever made...pure awesomeness...❤️❤️❤️
Sure is
@@electriccreamman1374
Amen to that 🙏...
Bad ass song. . Love this jam. . Cool video too. . Bad ass guitar solo. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Which one, both are fucking sick!
@@shavemymind the first one has more feel to it
Right? Bring hunolt back! Him and Gary are a fucking killer combo
2:42 heaviest riff and heaviest words
Better song ,they help me to not suicide and be strong to face life (sorry for english) You rules Exodus ,thanks from Brazil
Cheers, Richard!

The best duo of guitar solos ever. Period. Grimey a.f.🤘

Woke up this morning and he,
he took a look at the sky
The sun was hot and glowing
decided today is a good day to die
He wasn't sure just how, no he didn't know,
but he knew the reasons why
No one saw this coming because he kept it all inside
Out of control like a runaway train
desperate to end all his pain
You've got to understand there's
a better plan if you can open your eyes
You told yourself on your road to ruin
Today is a good day, a good day to die
Life to you is such a heavy burden
Today is a good day, a good day to die
So that's what you wanna do?
Take the easy way out
Suicide's only for cowards,
is that what you're all about
Are you afraid of the world around you,
are you afraid of what might be?
Think of the ones who love you
all the things you'll never see
Out of control like a runaway train
desperate to end all his pain
You've got to understand there's
a better plan if you can open your eyes
Friends all around, yet you feel so alone
Today is a good day, a good day to die
Carry on and you'll find the peace you've never known
Today is a good day, a good day to die.l
Last line is "Today is a good day, a good day to try"
On the second verse, it's "today's a good day to die," not "today's a good day, a good day to die."
My favorite solo!! Gary and Rick are MASSIVE guitarists
The lyrics, the music, the video... I love this shit, man.
only 216k views??? one of the most underated songs ever .
Gary Holt is phenomenal...everybody knows it...right? Solid lineup here imo 🤘🤘🥁🎸🤘🤘
RIP Jeff Hahnemann
RIP JEFF HANNEMAN INDEED
RIP PAUL BALLOF
RIP Chuck Schuldiner, Cliff Burton and Dimebag Darrell. Such an amazing players.
This song makes me so emotional
i ended up here because i seen kevin heart wearing a shirt that had "exodus" on it in a interview he was in with the rock lol
I ended up here because this song was in Great Scott.
R.IP. Paul Benally, my brother... I always think of you.
Exodus makes it a good day to live
This is the true metal!!
This riff….heavy as hell. Liking this song!
Awesome exodus record.
Always come back to this song when I feel like living ain't worth it.
And the chance to see Exodus live again 🤘
Crank it many many years after this album had already came out I used to crank this song in the car for my daughter when she was a baby and she would just bang her head and love it 🤘🔥2007
Wow, how I love how true this song is ❤
love this song every note , the drums sound great , the intro is too cool, the video kicks ass!!!!!
This is what legends are made, a true classic.
I love that solo
like all Exodus albums but this one is my favourite
💪🏻
One more time this song saved me. Thank you so much Exodus!
So simple and freaking amazing
I love this tune and video. Exodus RULES!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!
Amazing song and Gary's solo is powerful. There is not a single bad exodus album.
Ricks a better but not faster player than gary
my favorite song
I forgot about this song and album - I had it on CD back in 1993.
Great song, Great lyrics, great video.
This music video is so great it's priceless
The best, the best strong sound into the ears🤘🤘🤘🤘
Don't forget that every day is a good day to -die- try! :D
Thanks, Exodus!

Is not their best album but c'mon this song is fucking awesome!!
I was a little kid when 1st listen 2 this. Now I’m an old man & I’m still listening.
I bet that James Hetfield was digging this song a whole lot when it came out
Right? Much better than any 90s/aughts Metallica
Incredible song. I wouldn't change a thing.
Avevo 20 anni quando uscì questo pezzo e ancora oggi lo ascolto...... a bomba!!!!!

This song is just BADASS
Iconic guitar solos
This is fucking awesome!!! I love this song!!! \m/
Back when grunge and groove metal dominated the airwaves. Adapt and overcome. Gotta love the 90s. I'm glad they got back to Thrash tho.
Can’t get enuff of this song even after having listened to it for over 20 years...
Zajebisty kawałek!
Man!! I LOVE garys solo
Imo exodus has no bad albums every album is great even this one best band ever 🤘🏻🔥

To die??
Those solos flowed Boi’z….songs 🔥 Know them oaks and hills….
Brilliant track 😎🤟
Guitar at its finest...feel it in your nutts💪
Yes a very great underrated album
