its a lot easier to appreciate Megadeth if you're a guitarist. Their music is very technical from an instrumental standpoint, Mustaine is a guitar genius!!
Mustaine has an ability to tell a story and conjure emotions just with a guitar... it’s something I’ve never heard reproduced. I honestly believe if it weren’t for Dave we’d have no Metallica
This is the only rock song I know where none of it's riffs or melodies get repeated elsewhere in the track after they've been played through. No verses and no choruses, every time there's a change in the song it's a totally new section. And somehow it works beautifully.
The last time I saw Megadeth a few years ago this was the opener. Everyone's head just banged in unison during that end section of the song. It was awesome!
Fans of Megadeth and this album, in case you missed it, Brad and Lex reacted to The Conjuring about a week ago. The only thing stopping the Lex train was Brad having to pause.
I could honestly listen to Lex describe music for hours. She has a very interesting and unique way of interpreting songs and I love to hear her perspectives and takes on little things. She’s super intuitive. Amazing really. And her enthusiasm and spirit is contagious and always fun. Great reaction as always. 👍🏻
This song is about Dave Mustaine when he was living with a girl he didn’t want to be with anymore, but only stayed with her because he didn’t have another place to live and was dating a girl he liked on the side. So he was out with her, not his boys. That was his “cover story” You really need to react next to: Mary Jane (for the awesome composition) And Liar (for the aggression and shock value)!
@@KetoFitChef Yeah but I think they have better songs. I'd put liar lower on the list. Musically Liar is good, but the lyrics are kind of... they could be better. This is my opinion. I used to really like it, after 35 years of listening to Megadeth I'm thinking it's not their best song.
@@BrettonFerguson you’re right. Everyone’s got their different favorites. To this day, it’s still in my Top 15. It’s fast and fun. It’s fine with me that others don’t like it, but it’s one that people new to Megadeth really should hear as far as I’m concerned.
Hey - Brad. I catch a lot of your guy's live streams and I must say... for whatever reason... your live reactions are waaay better than what is portrayed in these TH-cam videos not live. The people who miss out on the streams miss out on your personality man. You are definitely a character, and the duo here feels powerful. Keep up the good work my man.
I've seen Megadeth live at least 10 times in my life and this song never gets old! I'd like to see your reaction to their songs "Hook In Mouth", or "Trust", "Lucretia", "Peace Sells But Who's Buying", or "Holy Wars"
this song was first then the conjuring followed by peace sells. which was the song that got airplay. the bass intro to peace sells was used everyday on MTV back in the 80's and nobody knew who it was; it is funny to watch when they realize after hearing peace sells that they had heard the intro several times for it was used several times a day everyday....
He *said* he was out with the boys. I don't think he was. :) Anyway, I love that song because it throws away traditional verses/lyrics/song structure and just throws awesome riffs and guitar solos at you in whatever way Megadeth wants.
The beginning of the song makes you think his woman is the crazy one who would kill him, but he's the crazy serial killer one who's got a bunch of exes in the basement. Dave Mustaine is a great story teller.
Dave Mustaine is unmatched in his original guitar riff, leads and overall style in those days---- the band's style in this album was orbiting thrash jazz because of Gar Samuelson (drummer) R.I.P. 1999 - Brad and Lex, keep on the Megadeth Peace Sells album- it's the most furious metal album of all time, next to Metallica's Puppets album, even though they are 2 uniquely styled albums and should never be compared that way. Cheers from Southern Ontario, Canada... Metal soothes the savage soul...
Yeah, at 3:07 Lex says it's a remaster, 'cause I remember this song sounding a lot different. The original was slathered in reverb, and this version's got a lot more bottom support, and it's just generally tighter. More focussed, actually. I like it. And all the 'repetition' Lex was commenting on at 4:36 is there for the moshers and the drivers. When the pit gets into a good whirl, you want it to last a bit more, and when it's night on the freeway, a few extra bars of what I'll call the _good part_ helps justify pinning the pedal down another half mile or so. _Peace Sells_ is my favorite Megadeth song ever, but this is a hair's breadth second.
Mustaine is one of the greatest guitar solo composers. Sometimes they just slot in so perfectly I get chills. I always think of super-fast harmonies. Last solo here, and at the beginning of The Conjuring spring to mind.
Megadeth is probably my favorite metal band from what's considered true classic heavy metal music from this Era. If you're not into technical sophisticated music you just won't get it.
I believe in the beginning of the song the lyrics were describing his lie...I was out with the boys....Then his woman at home finds out he was actually with Diana...So he wakes up dead.
Is this Wake up dead a redone version?..Some guitar solo parts seen slightly off from what i remember..Also the "Wake up dead" lyrics at the end have some high pitched back vocals or something..Unless all this just sounds off because of playing off this video..
when the guitars sound like marching armies or animals it is not a solo and is good to pause, those are rhythm sections. when the guitars sound like screeching birds or screams then those are solo's and never pause. hope this clears things up
u guys gotta remember songs r also made for the mosh Pitt too! for some of the long musical parts, not made for just kicking back on the couch and listening to necessarily . Cool reaction !
I liked Lexs "They do this cyclone thing" I thought that was really cool never thought about that before even considering the Meg have got a track called 🌪Tornado Of Souls🌪
Sometimes you guys don’t get metal. It’s about feeling it, those transitions, switch ups are meant to keep you on your toes… metal is supposed to be passionate even when it’s a slow song.
Yoooooo I haven’t listened to md in forever lmao guitar solos were super big back then and yeah the point of it was to give an idea of what was happening through the music rather than lyrics
You know what I just ate but now I'm going to make some elbow macaroni with butter and some Parmesan Romano cheese on it just from watching this song for some reason!
It's really cool to appreciate Megadeth music if you had a meatball sausage grinder mother in marinara sauce with melted provolone cheese and maybe a couple of your other favorite condiments don't forget to follow it up with a Frosty or whatever favorite beverage you enjoy!
That Logo takes me back. Had the Misfits inked on my left bicep years n years ago. When I saw Cliff Burton wearing Misfit tees, I nearly died. My hero loving the same music I thought nobody at the time had heard of lol
Just watched the free bird video... I think Lex needs to do the "Metallica instrumental" marathon... .Call of ktulu .Orion .to live is to die . Suicide redemption "To live is to die" is my all time favorite SONG!...EVER
its a lot easier to appreciate Megadeth if you're a guitarist. Their music is very technical from an instrumental standpoint, Mustaine is a guitar genius!!
well said
Mustaine has an ability to tell a story and conjure emotions just with a guitar... it’s something I’ve never heard reproduced. I honestly believe if it weren’t for Dave we’d have no Metallica
Marty Friedman was a huge force in Megadeth when it comes to a lot of the crazy solos for a large chunk of his stint in the band
Mustaine, is a very underrated guitarist
Im a metal singer and You are spot on. WITHOUT them Im in a world of shit!
This is the only rock song I know where none of it's riffs or melodies get repeated elsewhere in the track after they've been played through. No verses and no choruses, every time there's a change in the song it's a totally new section. And somehow it works beautifully.
That's an excellent description of this masterpiece.
Holy Wars???
@@jhamilton1007 Holy Wars starts and ends the exact same.
@@jhamilton1007 yep and there are others as well. Mustaine is quite the song writer
Vortex by Jinjer is like that too
I was waiting for it to happen, than at (5:15) Lex smiled, and for about 45 sec. went to a place only metalheads know about.
Ticket courtesy of Friedman shredlines.
@@Fabian080690 it is chris poland on guitars, it is also mustaine solo.
@@karasakizbaris Welp, he tried lmao
It was great watching her just teleport away caught up on that sick riff.
The last time I saw Megadeth a few years ago this was the opener. Everyone's head just banged in unison during that end section of the song. It was awesome!

This whole album was one of the best thrash albums ever
One of the greatest headbanging tunes ever. Hearing this song opening a concert when you are 18 is so epic it can't be adequately related with words.
It's about a guy who is cheating and is sneaking in hoping he wont be killed in his sleep.
Ya think?
Good mourning/Black Friday please. Brad will like the lyrics in that one lol
^
Holy S! This takes me back. This whole album is hard as hell. Get some! Thank you.
I had this on cassette in the late 1980s without lyrics and I thought it was about waking up with a hangover lol
Just like Picasso used canvas, Megadeth paints their pictures with their guitar playing…some of the best guitar work ever.
This song is about Dave Mustaine when he was living with a girl he didn’t want to be with anymore, but only stayed with her because he didn’t have another place to live and was dating a girl he liked on the side.
So he was out with her, not his boys. That was his “cover story”
You really need to react next to:
Mary Jane (for the awesome composition)
And
Liar (for the aggression and shock value)!
Diana!
Yes he said he was out with the boys.
But don't react to Liar. They have much better songs IMO. It is fast though.
@@BrettonFerguson don’t react to Liar?? That song is amazing!
@@KetoFitChef Yeah but I think they have better songs. I'd put liar lower on the list. Musically Liar is good, but the lyrics are kind of... they could be better. This is my opinion. I used to really like it, after 35 years of listening to Megadeth I'm thinking it's not their best song.
@@BrettonFerguson you’re right. Everyone’s got their different favorites. To this day, it’s still in my Top 15. It’s fast and fun. It’s fine with me that others don’t like it, but it’s one that people new to Megadeth really should hear as far as I’m concerned.
This song is what offically got me into heavy metal!
Hey - Brad. I catch a lot of your guy's live streams and I must say... for whatever reason... your live reactions are waaay better than what is portrayed in these TH-cam videos not live. The people who miss out on the streams miss out on your personality man. You are definitely a character, and the duo here feels powerful. Keep up the good work my man.
To me this song always felt like a boss fight music and the boss is the wife.
This is the super genius that happens when Metal artists are mixed with Jazz musicians!
I've seen Megadeth live at least 10 times in my life and this song never gets old! I'd like to see your reaction to their songs "Hook In Mouth", or "Trust", "Lucretia", "Peace Sells But Who's Buying", or "Holy Wars"
My Last Words. That song is so freakin good!
this song was first then the conjuring followed by peace sells. which was the song that got airplay. the bass intro to peace sells was used everyday on MTV back in the 80's and nobody knew who it was; it is funny to watch when they realize after hearing peace sells that they had heard the intro several times for it was used several times a day everyday....
THIS WHOLE ALBUM THRASHES!
EVERY SONG!
Y'all explained this video to perfection. Love this reaction.
'The Conjuring' video was the other day, 'Wake Up Dead' today, I'm guessing 'Peace Sells' could(should) be next🤘🤘🤘
You paused at the best part, now I gotta go and let the neighbors here it on my home stereo!!!
I'd so buy these 2 folks tickets to a metal show 😂😂
god I love this album!
He *said* he was out with the boys. I don't think he was. :)
Anyway, I love that song because it throws away traditional verses/lyrics/song structure and just throws awesome riffs and guitar solos at you in whatever way Megadeth wants.
The beginning of the song makes you think his woman is the crazy one who would kill him, but he's the crazy serial killer one who's got a bunch of exes in the basement. Dave Mustaine is a great story teller.
Best headbanging song ever!!
this is why mustaine benifited from being fired from metallica. it had to be
My last words - Megadeth is a good one
The sleep - Pantera you should react too 🤙

Cheers from Southern Ontario, Canada... Metal soothes the savage soul...
And Chris Poland's solos were very jazzy as well. He and Alex Skolnick are my favorites from this era.
I subscribed just because she knows Metal like all Metal Heads!! She gets it!!
I love that at the third bar of the riff she begins to smile. 🤘🏼😊
Who remembers this being the intro to "Headbangers Ball"?
Yeah, at 3:07 Lex says it's a remaster, 'cause I remember this song sounding a lot different. The original was slathered in reverb, and this version's got a lot more bottom support, and it's just generally tighter. More focussed, actually. I like it.

_Peace Sells_ is my favorite Megadeth song ever, but this is a hair's breadth second.
In my darkest hour or good mourning/black friday are both great megadeth songs as well check em out
Tune! Sylosis guys!
Mustaine is one of the greatest guitar solo composers. Sometimes they just slot in so perfectly I get chills. I always think of super-fast harmonies. Last solo here, and at the beginning of The Conjuring spring to mind.
How have they not done Peace Sells yet??
I used to play this in one of my bands, its a simple idea. Creeping in the house after a boys night
I'll miss out on flying cars and laser guns but I got to see MegaDeth live.
Peace Sell was more Jazzy than the rest of there albums. Which I found myself gravitating towards more than the rest of their albums.
One of the best Megadeth songs written.
Megadeth is probably my favorite metal band from what's considered true classic heavy metal music from this Era. If you're not into technical sophisticated music you just won't get it.
In my darkest hour for a deep song. Rattlehead for a kickass song
This is the best thrash metal song ever. This is the epitome of thrash.
I believe in the beginning of the song the lyrics were describing his lie...I was out with the boys....Then his woman at home finds out he was actually with Diana...So he wakes up dead.
Is this Wake up dead a redone version?..Some guitar solo parts seen slightly off from what i remember..Also the "Wake up dead" lyrics at the end have some high pitched back vocals or something..Unless all this just sounds off because of playing off this video..
Remaster.
when the guitars sound like marching armies or animals it is not a solo and is good to pause, those are rhythm sections.
when the guitars sound like screeching birds or screams then those are solo's and never pause. hope this clears things up
nice reaction, you guys should do Megadeth She - Wolf LIVE version, it will blow your mind!!!
The Rude Awakening version!
u guys gotta remember songs r also made for the mosh Pitt too! for some of the long musical parts, not made for just kicking back on the couch and listening to necessarily . Cool reaction !
I liked Lexs "They do this cyclone thing" I thought that was really cool never thought about that before even considering the Meg have got a track called 🌪Tornado Of Souls🌪
Yes! I have been trying to get someone to react to this song! It is my favorite by
Megadeth!!
Do Megadeth “Hook in mouth”. Great song for Brad to analyze.
Oh, you guys already reacted to this one!! Awesome!! You need to checkout My Last Words, also from this album!!
In my darkest hour 😍
Black Friday is must... one of their best songs...
He said he was out with the boys but was really cheating. Thanks for this review
Sometimes you guys don’t get metal. It’s about feeling it, those transitions, switch ups are meant to keep you on your toes… metal is supposed to be passionate even when it’s a slow song.
Damn I miss your reactions. Please come back!
daves guitar was untouchable
Do Devils Island or Bad Omen.
They're the best songs on Peace Sells.
Bad Omen is never paid attention to. Such an amazing song!
Nah my last words and good morning are the best songs
The riffs on that song are epic🤟🏼 its heavy jazz
Wake Up Dead definitely my favorite song by MEGADETH 🤘🤘
Yoooooo I haven’t listened to md in forever lmao guitar solos were super big back then and yeah the point of it was to give an idea of what was happening through the music rather than lyrics
Heard that one in person. After Holy Wars record. Faster too.
Sweating Bullets is my all time favorite Megadeath song! I would like to see you guys react to that one!
These types of songs you don’t need much lyrics to make a story
You know what I just ate but now I'm going to make some elbow macaroni with butter and some Parmesan Romano cheese on it just from watching this song for some reason!
I used to know the Drummer Nick... RIP
Nick wasn't the drummer on this album, Gar Samuelson was. Love them both.
@@evyatarhadar8867 Oh yeah that right
Imagine what Diane was like if Ole' Dave was frettin
That smile is so infectious😏
Was the first Megadeth song I heard MEGA DAVE😈🤘 so many favorites
The look on Lex's face the whole time...just waiting for the opportunity to start banging her head. lol
My fav metal song! Great pick!!
You need to see the video!!!
I love the music video for this one it adds to the vibe.
Dillinger Escape Plan - anything from Miss Machine through One of Us is the Killer
YES! My all time favorite song by MeGaDeTh! Edit: Lex it is ok to just straight up head bang on this banger.
I love this song 🎵, it’s amazing bass,guitar, drums,even Metallica can’t even roll with this 😂
Yessss bring on the Megadeth, Sabbath, and Slayer loo
I always imagine the masses jumping to it like to a nu metal Song ....in the last Bouncy Part introduced by “Diana!” F%€&#@ Love that Part.
into the lungs of hell by Megadeth
It's really cool to appreciate Megadeth music if you had a meatball sausage grinder mother in marinara sauce with melted provolone cheese and maybe a couple of your other favorite condiments don't forget to follow it up with a Frosty or whatever favorite beverage you enjoy!
Girl I love you're analysis
just wondering do you take any requests for songs to react to
@Brad & Lex
I'm surprised you both haven't done a reaction to So Far, So Good...So What! Album!
Damn, that takes me back.
That Logo takes me back. Had the Misfits inked on my left bicep years n years ago. When I saw Cliff Burton wearing Misfit tees, I nearly died. My hero loving the same music I thought nobody at the time had heard of lol
Heard it in person...it's way faster and heavier
React to Good Mourning/Black Friday
rammstein wollt ihr das bett in flammen sehen live in Paris! You two will love it!
Listen to peace sells🙏🏻 definitely feel like both of you would love it🤘🏼
Check out Peace Sells, My Last Words, Hook In Mouth, Liar, In My Darkest Hour. Some great tunes from Megadeth.
Just watched the free bird video... I think Lex needs to do the "Metallica instrumental" marathon...
.Call of ktulu
.Orion
.to live is to die
. Suicide redemption
"To live is to die" is my all time favorite SONG!...EVER
He said " I SAID I was out with the boys". That doesn;t mean he actually was....
If you pause in a solo you will be tracked down and whipped within an inch of your life!
‘Artsy’? … no that’s heavy metal 🎸 , you gotta feel it
Everyone loves Rust in Peace, but for me Peace Sells is their best
FINALLY SOMEONE DOES THIS SONG.
My favorite Megadeth song!
