It's ridiculous how underrated that song is because it's always been in my top 10 favorite Megadeth songs and my second favorite song on Rust In Peace after Holy Wars. It's one of the best written songs on the album!
@@mdnblues it doesn’t “suck” despite not being as great as the rest of the album. it’s also a fine inclusion for an interlude type track and I don’t think it hurts the album perfect run through since it’s under two minutes.
Since this is "Five Magics," they are showing off by playing in 5, during the middle sections. (If you count off the beats, you will count "1-2-3-4-5" or "1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2".) The rest of the song is in 4, like most rock, funk, hip-hop, etc., and it's easier to groove in 4. You'll notice that once they jump back into 4 (just before the line "Possessed with hellish torment"), you can feel the groove come back. Some people learn to love "odd time signatures" like 5 (or 7, 9, 11, etc.), which were also used by Rush, Tool, and many other progressive bands. But some people can't feel the groove in them as much. I could be wrong, but I think that's what threw you guys off during the middle sections, more than the thrash element. (Also, Dave Mustaine re-recorded vocals on this version, and the original vocals are much better.)
Marty plays one of his best solos ever over that 5/4... hardly anyone mentions it. It's absolutely stunning and is right up there with TOS and Lucretia.
@@LagginPotato That demo that sounds like it was recorded on the toilet? He was clearly doing an improv, you should know how great poland is just by the 2 first records...
You should make sure to listen to the *original* mix on replays, and not the remaster! Not only is the "remaster" of Rust in Peace generally worse than the original, but they lost the original vocal track for Five Magics specifically, so the remaster uses a demo recording of Dave's vocals. The original mix's vocals are *much* better, they're *nastier* and more sinister sounding.
I agree with the original mix being so much better. I had listened to the original for so many years then seen it had been remastered so I got it. There are many bands that need/needed some of their albums remastered because, for example, original sound recording being too low as Testaments: The Legacy... which I still have and enjoy to this day, and other bands that could use an adjustment. Megadeth is NOT one of them. I was Sooo disappointed when I heard the remastered version of this album and was turned off immediately. Some of the riffs were slightly off and drastically changed. Dave's vocals were not the same and the lyrics were switched as if someone had dyslexia when singing it or editing it. Poorly remastered is what it was but I'll always love Megadeth.
The layered "Hey!" vocals on Lucretia especially is so disappointing in the remaster. The original sounds massive with lots of reverb, while the remaster is incredibly dull sounding. Bummed me out when I heard it.
In the mid-90s I thought I came up with a really badass guitar riff. A friend heard me play it and said "Nice, Ashes In Your Mouth?" I stopped and was like...oh, dammit, yep it's almost exactly that. The part that wasn't an unintentional ripoff of that song was an unintentional ripoff of One, so I called it One In your Mouth.
The only song I care about from 1991-2003 Megadeth. One of their master pieces, up next to Good Mourning, Hangar 18, Five Magics, Holy Wars, In My Darkest Hour and The Conjuring!
This is the one song where i prefer dave's solo over marty's. However, Marty's first 4 solos when the song first speeds up at around the 2 minute mark is one of the most wicked sets of solos ive heard. Middle solos are decent but not as amazing to me. Great song.
Scenes is an awesome album also his collaboration with Jason Becker in speed metal symphonies kakophoni another compilation of awesome songs that probably will never get a review
I'll give you guys credit for sitting through the entire remastered version. The sound quality between the original and the remaster is crazy (Dave edited his vocals really heavily)... and the original is better by far.
The only songs you can listen to on the remastered 2004 versions are Holy wars and Tornado of souls. The rest you should listen to the original on. And yeah this versions lyrics sucks ass
People cry about the remasters for the new vocals on a couple songs but still, the remasters sounds crushing on a good sound system. I have both versions, they both sounds really good. Too bad for the vocals but what did you want him to do?
Oh, how many times I cried to that song as an angsty teenager! I remember forcefully putting headphones on my mom's ear and holding her down to listen to it, translating the lyrics for her. She loved it, though!
Nooo they reacted to the remastered instead of the original :(. The remastered uses different vocal tracks, because Dave had lost the originals. The originals sound much more angry and raw.
The original sounds far better than this lackluster remastered version, Dave's vocals sound terrible and the drums seem flat. I'll play the original album forever, no point in getting the remaster.
Yep, far inferior to the original. The guitars also sound different and I'd bet some of it was re-recorded as well. I mean, they hit all the notes but it doesn't sound as cohesive. Basically Dave got bored and let his ego get to him with the remasters. Bummer that they reacted to this version.
Seems that most “remastered” Megadeth doesn’t measure up to the original versions. It’s like things were changed just for the purpose of change, and do not improve the tunes at all.
Check out Megadeth - Go To Hell. It's a track they did for a Bill and Ted movie originally supposed to be titled "Bill and Ted go to Hell" then changed later. Big groove all the way through for a Megadeth song. And as others said, Ashes in Your Mouth is a huge track.
@@11DNA11 no way better. Huge indeed but master of puppets is the most completed lp technically, production , songwriting , performance. Cliff is just unbeatable..
Metallica released Master first. I'll give you that. Still I don't like this type of association.. Of Metallica being the reference for Megadeth. Although Dave explicitly tried to mimic Metallica. Still..
That would be a GREAT one for them. They really get into groove and that one has a ton of it, not to mention killer riffage and brilliant song structure. It just keeps building in intensity. One of my all time favorite songs, period.
All complex songs need to be listened to many times before appreciating them fully. It's the beauty of Mustaine's genius, it's the beauty of having all these twists and turns in the music. These compositions, like in classical music, release enjoyment long term because you always discover new details every time you listen, even years later. If that bass line you loved in the first part was repeated many times it would cause short term and immediate pleasure but in the long run the song would bore you. Rust in Peace is always a joy to listen to 30 years later because it's an infinite source of fresh energy to the ear and the soul. And this is thanks to the 'blips' as you call them and overall complexity that you might not like the first time you listen to the song. Time is on Megadeth's side, like a good wine it gets better and better as the years go by. Thank you for your reactions, they are always great!
Great to hear More Megadeth !!! For a great instrumental react to into the Lungs of Hell from Megadeth !!! Also react to the song She Wolf live from Rude Awakening guitar and drums that will rock you the hell out...
Lost my best buddy today to the pandemic.He gave me this album to try out some metal and changed my musical taste forever... 25 years later, out of the blue, LIV pops out on my feed with this track. You guys took me back in time, back to my school days in the 90s. Thank you so much guys. Hope my homie has successfully crossed over to the heaven by now.
So sorry to hear it bro... I lost 3 family members to the pandemic, both my parents ended in hospital with O2 support, we are lucky that they are alive and back with us. Stay strong, just remember life still has lot to offer.
Of course you probably know by now, but this group, on THIS album, is a collection of 4 of the baddest musicians at their craft in the world of heavy metal. How they got together is a mystery, but it's no wonder this album is of heavy metal lore. Each is on top of their game. RIP Nick Menza.
Damn I haven’t check out your guys channel in a few years, I’m actually mad happy to see you guys are at 1m subs last time I was here you guys hadn’t even hit 100k this is great
You guys have to react to "Rust in Peace... Polaris" I feel like that song is so overlooked on the whole album. Maybe not the best on the album but such a monster of a song. Definitely in my top 3 songs of all time.
I used to listen to that album every day waiting for the school bus after detention. What i think is weird or interesting is i have such vivid memories of Tornado of Souls and now that's considered one of the best solos ever, along with Under A Glass Moon. Ah, the good old days.
17:00 yoooo George just showed what he learned in all those years xD haven't been here in a long ass time, but right here, saying that Thrash has its roots in punk????!! Those are some deeeeep cuts right there :D I'm proud of you guys!
Yeah, the time signature weirdness in this song actually makes it *less* headbangable than George seems to imagine. This is easily the proggiest song Megadeth ever did
You have to listen to the rest of the album. I was fortunate to see them in 2010 celebration 20 anniversary of Rust in Peace. They played the entire album and it was glorious!
OMG... Marty's solo over the 5/4 section is so beautiful and incredible musicianship. One of very best and is up there with TOS and Lucretia. One of Dave's best solos as well.
Great video as always guys. I would definitely recommend also listening to the original 1990 version, as this sounds like the 2004 remaster. Dave re recorded several vocal tracks for the remaster, which changed the sound of the tracks considerably. This song in particular has a marked difference in vocal aggression and power between versions, especially in the section with the demonic vocal effects. Thanks again and keep killing it with the videos.
@@Squeeze718 Ehhh I wouldn't go that far but yes Wake Up Dead is amazing. And Peace Sells>Rust in Peace, because it has the jazzy groove and eerie moments that Megadeth lost with time
OMG the remaster vocals are a crime. Checkout Alien Weaponry, young NZ thrash band who often sing in Maori, they're opening for Gojira in the Fortitude tour.
“People say that being kicked out of Metallica is what drove me to be better and faster in Megadeth, but i was faster and better than Metallica when i was in Metallica.” - Dave Mustaine
@@invisibleone1000 Dave has more talent in his pinky than Kirk has in his whole body. And Dave is the one who taught James to down strum not tye other way around. Now James us a better vocalist and I like everyone in Metallica except whinny ass Lars
@@skoltyacatch84 And yet Kirk has come up with some of the most successful and memorable riffs ever. Dave is all about technicality but he has no real depth in his songwriting. The two are very different in their approach.
I grew up on Megadeth. Listening to Megadeth whisks me away to a simpler time before the internet where I was lifting plastic weights in the garage. I had no idea I was listening to music that would be some of the best ever made.
“Go To Hell” is the exact song these guys are looking for with Megadeth. The tempo is a perfect groove for them. They can totally bop their heads to it. It’s not overly thrashed out. It hits on all the elements they seem to enjoy. “Angry Again” will be a close second.
Prefer the original master for sure though, not just of this track but the whole album. The drum and vocal tracks on the original master are way better imo.
It's time to just react to the ENTIRE album. But please, for the love of everything holy, react to the original version released in 1990! The difference is night and day, especially on the vocals. I hear this version and cringe.
@scorpiostrikes damn, I’m glad you let everyone know that . I’ll make sure to stop listening to that song. I’ve been wrong for so long. Also, you’re wrong. The best songs are Addicted To Chaos, Black Curtains and Victory.
THANK YOU for coming back to Megadeth. Yes definitely do Sweating Bullets (you will LAUGH through that one, in a good way) and A Tout Le Monde (BEAUTIFUL song) asap!!
@@Mastercreek yea the remastered version of Rust in Piece is terrible. The only good remastered album was Killing is My Business...and Business is Good (The Final Kill)
The guys imitating the guitar at 7:20 sounds like the Martians in Mars attacks. btw: has someone counted the Nasty in this video? Must be a record. Love your enthusiam, guys.
This was the remastered version. The original version had a demonic voice for the call back portion at the end. It made a difference for me. Original is better by far imo. Check it out
Agreed. Since you guys seem to appreciate Megadeth's tasteful, mid-paced fare, I'd actually go further and suggest that you check out some stuff other than their early material. Trust, In My Darkest Hour, Youthanasia, Endgame, A Tout Le Monde and Poisonous Shadows, are all classic songs which showcase their melodic, slower and deeper side, which often gets overlooked. But checking those out makes you appreciate the band on another level instead of seeing them as one-dimensional shred heads.
On their album Th1rt3en, tracks 8 and 9 Fast Lane and Black Swan, the firsts ending smoothly just transitions into black swan with a nean ass drawn out growl of the guitar. Amazing shit, hope yall check out this album too! Stay safe yall
saw this live on the 20th anniversary tour for Rust In Peace, and it was definitely my favorite song of the night. 10 years ago y'all, YO LUCRETIA WHAT UP GIRL.
I saw them in that tour too!! This was one of the top moments in my life. I got to meet Dave and Dave that night and they signed my endgame album. I’ll never forget having the privilege of meeting 2 of my idols.
I just wanted to add;: This is one of the few songs that when i usually recommend, i recommend you listen to twice. First of all so that you can notice that it starts with the same riff it finishes with (which is why it had such a rough intro), but also because then you can notice that almost every riff and rythmic pattern has a five in it. It's always either in 5/4 or riffs in 4/4 that use 2 bars (8 quarter notes) with the accents on the first and 4th beats, giving it a 3-5-3-5 groove. It's not just a great piece of music, but also a great song, meaning that the music and the lyrics instead of just being good each on their own actually have a sort of synergy that carries the whole song due to these grooves that match the 5 pattern in the song.
This is so great watching your reacting to the ride Dave takes you on in this song, it’s so good, You guys truly are appreciating what he’s layin down!
I LOVE it how open minded both you dudes are, even though its not your element really appreciate your feedback and critique. Really inspiring...Lost in Vegas keeps it tight. If a riff gets down and rocks your soul and as Ryan would say..."It's NAA-STY!"
This entire album is a thrash metal masterpiece.
Rust in peace and …and justice for all are the best metal albums ever

Talking about technicality, nice helmet there. 👍
This entire album is a 100% masterpiece.

You guys would love "Wake up dead", that should definitely be your next Megadeth song.
yessssss def
Helll yeahhhh
Good mourning/black friday
Anything from Peace Sells. That album oozes groove, and these guys love groove. They should just do the whole album already
AGREED!!!
Marty Friedman elevated Megadeth to another level on this album.
Gotta disagree. Marty had little to do with song writing and Poland is more than capable of playing his solos.

If you want a song that will stay on the playlist, ''Take no Prisoners'' is what you need. You guys rock!
My favorite song from RIP, but they don't gravitate to the fastest aspects of thrash. Take No Prisoners is that- furious from start to finish.
You can tell Nick Menza was starting to get into jazz stuff too. From 19:25 on its basically a drum solo yet you feel the pulse clearly throughout
His father Don Menza is a jazz composer
Megadeth - Wake Up Dead. I predict is right up your alley
Yes that should be next
I had been posting that for a year and they never did it. The breakdown in the middle would destroy them. They’re such groove maniacs
one of my favorite Megadeth tunes
C B Bb.. A.. Bb A G Bb A G
Yes, so much jazz in the first two albums, thanks to Gar Samuelson (RIP) and Chris Poland's (a.k.a. "Liar") music background.
I see Megadeth and click as fast as I can
Yes, so true!
Jesus,Marty's solos are fire on that tune.The guy still blows me away after years of listening to jazz.He was a class act in that band.
Marty has been known to use a lot of gypsy jazz type licks in his playing. He is truly one of the greats.
"In My Darkest Hour" Dark Ballad Masterpiece inspired instrumentally by the passing of Cliff Burton and one of Mustaine's darkest moments.

They lost the original vocal tracks for a few songs including this one when doing the 04 remasters, they either re-recorded them or used old demos.

This album did not need a remaster at all. The original is perfect
It felt a little odd, now I undetstand why, never lustened to the remastered before.
Remastered is definitely a step backwards.
Remaster of this song just doesn’t smoke quite like the original. Especially the vocals.
I have to agree
Guitars sound a little crushed.
ITS horrible. Sony know what seee thingking about Dave doing this
Couldn´t agree more
The original sounds far better than this lackluster remastered version, Dave's vocals sound terrible and the drums seem flat. I'll play the original album forever, no point in getting the remaster.
Man I hope people push Ashes in Your Mouth as a recommendation, that song needs more love.
The vocals have been redone. The originals didn't clash as bad during the 5 magics part. The remasters hurt the song.

Couldn’t agree more. Every musician on this album was ridiculously good and at the top of their game.
"If I could play guitar I would just go WHAAAAAAAH, with a couple of WAGWAN"
:D
Nick Menza’s dad is who played the most iconic sax ever, the one in the original Pink Panther theme
Damn I haven’t check out your guys channel in a few years, I’m actually mad happy to see you guys are at 1m subs last time I was here you guys hadn’t even hit 100k this is great
You guys have to react to "Rust in Peace... Polaris" I feel like that song is so overlooked on the whole album. Maybe not the best on the album but such a monster of a song. Definitely in my top 3 songs of all time.
Hear hear. My favorite song off this album, and not for lack of competition.
I'll say it *is* the best on the album. In fact, it's the best Megadeth song ever in my book.
@@TrevRockOne Yessir
Best Megadeth song imo, in fact it is my favourite song ever. Just so damn good
Excellent lyrics, too!
This whole album is for +30 years in my playlist
I used to listen to that album every day waiting for the school bus after detention. What i think is weird or interesting is i have such vivid memories of Tornado of Souls and now that's considered one of the best solos ever, along with Under A Glass Moon. Ah, the good old days.
1st concert, Testament, Megadeth and Judas Priest. This was the Rust in Peace tour.
17:00 yoooo George just showed what he learned in all those years xD haven't been here in a long ass time, but right here, saying that Thrash has its roots in punk????!! Those are some deeeeep cuts right there :D I'm proud of you guys!
you guys have to do Caught Somewhere in Time by Iron Maiden
absolute rollercoaster of a song
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
yes
Wake up dead has the best riffs ever
I seriously appreciate the fact that you guys went back to the beginning so many times!!
My favorite part is that the song is about FIVE magics, so the pre-chorus (12:26) is in 5/8 and the back half of the chorus (13:13) is in 5/4.
Nice catch
Holy shit! Never noticed
Yeah, the time signature weirdness in this song actually makes it *less* headbangable than George seems to imagine. This is easily the proggiest song Megadeth ever did
They should have done the original much better than the remastered
prog
Happy to support you on Patreon. Love your videos. Worth every penny.
You have to listen to the rest of the album. I was fortunate to see them in 2010 celebration 20 anniversary of Rust in Peace. They played the entire album and it was glorious!
You should definitely do My last words from peace sells album. A very underrated song
Fax
Yuuuup
Ellefson's bass on My Last Words is the best part of what makes the song such a great way to close out the album.
Lars ullrichs favorite song on that album
@@222MovieMan yes.. I've heard that story of Dave playing that song in some concert because lars was in attendance.
“Lucricia, where u at?” 😂👌
That ending solo segment is insane
"Tell me, do you bleed?" Yes, of course, I just listened to Megadeth.
The whole ending section is insane 💪
That ending riff and drumming is absolutely "NASTY!!" NICK MENZA KILLING IT!! RIP
OMG... Marty's solo over the 5/4 section is so beautiful and incredible musicianship. One of very best and is up there with TOS and Lucretia.
One of Dave's best solos as well.
Wake Up Dead will the perfect song to follow up to this track.
Great video as always guys.
I would definitely recommend also listening to the original 1990 version, as this sounds like the 2004 remaster.
Dave re recorded several vocal tracks for the remaster, which changed the sound of the tracks considerably. This song in particular has a marked difference in vocal aggression and power between versions, especially in the section with the demonic vocal effects.
Thanks again and keep killing it with the videos.
ditto! just wrote the same comment elsewhere!
I have a feeling you guys will like Wake Up Dead 💀. So many crazy transitions, so much groove, even the fast parts
Better than this song by far.
@@Squeeze718 Ehhh I wouldn't go that far but yes Wake Up Dead is amazing. And Peace Sells>Rust in Peace, because it has the jazzy groove and eerie moments that Megadeth lost with time
@@Walamonga1313 yeah mate, the og lineup simply was outstanding
OMG the remaster vocals are a crime. Checkout Alien Weaponry, young NZ thrash band who often sing in Maori, they're opening for Gojira in the Fortitude tour.
Sweet 👍
Do the "she wolf" live version 💯
Was sitting here thinking "Just you two wait till the last part!" ha!!!!
“People say that being kicked out of Metallica is what drove me to be better and faster in Megadeth, but i was faster and better than Metallica when i was in Metallica.”
- Dave Mustaine
Faster - yes, better - hell no
@@invisibleone1000 Dave has more talent in his pinky than Kirk has in his whole body. And Dave is the one who taught James to down strum not tye other way around. Now James us a better vocalist and I like everyone in Metallica except whinny ass Lars
@@skoltyacatch84 Mustaine singing voice is terrible.
@@MrRed-tf7bv never said Dave had a great voice.
@@skoltyacatch84 And yet Kirk has come up with some of the most successful and memorable riffs ever. Dave is all about technicality but he has no real depth in his songwriting. The two are very different in their approach.
I grew up on Megadeth. Listening to Megadeth whisks me away to a simpler time before the internet where I was lifting plastic weights in the garage. I had no idea I was listening to music that would be some of the best ever made.
That riff from Lucretia is badass
“Go To Hell” is the exact song these guys are looking for with Megadeth. The tempo is a perfect groove for them. They can totally bop their heads to it. It’s not overly thrashed out. It hits on all the elements they seem to enjoy. “Angry Again” will be a close second.
I agree with you 110%!!!
I really enjoyed Hidden Treasures cd.
That's actually true.
Blah blah blah my soul to take.
This is one of their best deep cuts
Prefer the original master for sure though, not just of this track but the whole album. The drum and vocal tracks on the original master are way better imo.
@@Weeping_Somnambulist Same.
It's time to just react to the ENTIRE album. But please, for the love of everything holy, react to the original version released in 1990! The difference is night and day, especially on the vocals. I hear this version and cringe.
Right there with you! This version just feels so dry and flat, and the vocals are just so spread out. Original is so much more energetic!
Yeah the remastered are ass
Yeah, but the snare... :/
I still have the original CD I bought back in the day and it really is night and day to the remastered.
Waiting for "Train Of Consequences" reaction! Keep up the good work guys!
@scorpiostrikes I just don't care about your ideas, sorry for that. Train of consequences has a specific taste and these guys could LOVE IT...
@scorpiostrikes damn, I’m glad you let everyone know that . I’ll make sure to stop listening to that song. I’ve been wrong for so long. Also, you’re wrong. The best songs are Addicted To Chaos, Black Curtains and Victory.
I feel like they would love that one too. One of my favorites
Addicted to Chaos is the best Youthanasia song
I appreciate this reaction so much LOL if you guys are awesome. Megadeth are the kings of metal. RIP Menza. My favorite drummer of all time
When this album hit the scene back in the day,it definitely became a benchmark, Marty Friedman and Dave's duo soloing is insane🥰👍🤘🙏
THANK YOU for coming back to Megadeth. Yes definitely do Sweating Bullets (you will LAUGH through that one, in a good way) and A Tout Le Monde (BEAUTIFUL song) asap!!
They won’t like tout le monde
Train of consequences as well
This album is dope as hell. My favorite Megadeth line up as well. This song is like a comic book movie in musical form.
Very solid choice. One of Megadeth's very best.
Definitely one of my favorites
Just not this version
@@Mastercreek yea the remastered version of Rust in Piece is terrible. The only good remastered album was Killing is My Business...and Business is Good (The Final Kill)
David Ellifson, spanking that bass!
(Too soon? Nah!😜)
Bwahahaha
Bust in peace....
@@vosman86 LOL... Fan since 1985 and yes I'm not surprised, but damn he got axed!
Watching this makes me fall in love with this album all over again. Love it. 🖤
Literally my favorite song of all time
As someone who likes a lot of prog like dream theater, this song impressed me with how technical it is, and its super underrated
@@MrAJ1109 the funny thing is this is the remastered shit, the original will impress you even more.
This whole album is amazing
Ashes in your mouth is a masterpiece! Please react to this great song from the countdown to extinction album.
The guys imitating the guitar at 7:20 sounds like the Martians in Mars attacks. btw: has someone counted the Nasty in this video? Must be a record. Love your enthusiam, guys.
RIP Nick Menza and the riffing is first class and well Marty? What can be said that can’t be said already. Phenomenal
Holy shit, I can't believe you guys are doing this song! You guys are awesome!
This was the remastered version. The original version had a demonic voice for the call back portion at the end. It made a difference for me. Original is better by far imo. Check it out
@@dale73greaves ok I definitely will I have listen to it. I am way too big of a fan to not have heard the original song
Remastered version tho....
"Ashes In Your Mouth" would be a good one for y'all.
Beats the shit out of this one
Love that track
Yess fs!!
Dave is cancer free and Megadeth are putting the finishing touches on the new album.
The new album should be out this year
😍😍😍
We should be getting the first single within a month
Spring 2022
@@TornadoOfSouls777 where did you hear that?
Five Magics is my favourite Megadeth tune...always been since I picked up the tape way back. Extremely underrated...
The whole album is fire - every............single..............track. Whole album playlist.
I wish you guy did ‘in my darkest hour’ but I’ll take this one too
And wake up dead.
You should do In my darkest hour, this song is written for Cliff Burton. I'd like to hear your take on this particular song.
lovely choice lady
The music was written by Dave in one sitting, after he found out Cliff died. The lyrics are about a relationship, though.
Only the intro was dedicated to cliff... The song is about break up
Agreed. Since you guys seem to appreciate Megadeth's tasteful, mid-paced fare, I'd actually go further and suggest that you check out some stuff other than their early material. Trust, In My Darkest Hour, Youthanasia, Endgame, A Tout Le Monde and Poisonous Shadows, are all classic songs which showcase their melodic, slower and deeper side, which often gets overlooked. But checking those out makes you appreciate the band on another level instead of seeing them as one-dimensional shred heads.
Never thought in a million years you would react to this. Made my day!
Same
Unfortunately this is the remastered version not the original drum line. But this is by far one of Megadeth’s greatest tracks.
What.. a remaster doesn't change the tracks
@@dubya85 megadeth remasters in general are stupidly bad, especially some of the songs on RIP. rerecorded vocals is the worst part.
On their album Th1rt3en, tracks 8 and 9 Fast Lane and Black Swan, the firsts ending smoothly just transitions into black swan with a nean ass drawn out growl of the guitar. Amazing shit, hope yall check out this album too! Stay safe yall
Lucretia is a bad ass groove. 👍
saw this live on the 20th anniversary tour for Rust In Peace, and it was definitely my favorite song of the night. 10 years ago y'all, YO LUCRETIA WHAT UP GIRL.
I saw them in that tour too!! This was one of the top moments in my life. I got to meet Dave and Dave that night and they signed my endgame album. I’ll never forget having the privilege of meeting 2 of my idols.
I just wanted to add;: This is one of the few songs that when i usually recommend, i recommend you listen to twice.
First of all so that you can notice that it starts with the same riff it finishes with (which is why it had such a rough intro), but also because then you can notice that almost every riff and rythmic pattern has a five in it. It's always either in 5/4 or riffs in 4/4 that use 2 bars (8 quarter notes) with the accents on the first and 4th beats, giving it a 3-5-3-5 groove.
It's not just a great piece of music, but also a great song, meaning that the music and the lyrics instead of just being good each on their own actually have a sort of synergy that carries the whole song due to these grooves that match the 5 pattern in the song.
This is so great watching your reacting to the ride Dave takes you on in this song, it’s so good, You guys truly are appreciating what he’s layin down!
I LOVE it how open minded both you dudes are, even though its not your element really appreciate your feedback and critique. Really inspiring...Lost in Vegas keeps it tight. If a riff gets down and rocks your soul and as Ryan would say..."It's NAA-STY!"
