Something I learned recently is that Dave originally had this as a 7 or 8 minute song. I think it was the drummer that said no man we need to cut it back. Dave agreed and metal/thrash history was made. One of the most iconic songs of the original thrash era. Some people don't like Dave's voice, but it makes Megadeth. The best thing that ever happened to metal/thrash was Dave getting booted from Metallica. Imagine not having the collection of Megadeth songs we have that will live forever.
That's why I'm a metalhead. It's not just because it sounds angry and has awesome heavy instrumentation to it with unique vocals but it's about the message it is sending. Heavy metal allows you to vent your frustrations and have deep meaning behind it.
Megadeth is a rabbit hole should come with a warning label for potential to melt your brain. Drummer on this track was Gar Samuelson. He was a beast. (RIP) Next has to be Holy Wars. Gonna have a lot to say about that one. 😂
Great reaction to one of my favorite songs by my favorite metal band. Grew up listening to them. Please react to Beastie Boys - Nonstop Disco Powerpack
One of my favorite songs. I hate to be that guy, but I love that someone of color is reviewing this. My whole life I was told that metal was yt music which is just untrue. Metal connects us all. If you like Metal, it's about what's IN you Amazing review by the way, you're a great lyrical analyst
Megadeth was big on their political and sociological messages. Even the name "Megadeth" is a variation of (or misspelled) version of the real word, megadeath, which is defined as one million people killed, generally attributed to nuclear blast. Basically. it is a morbid and terrifying measurement used by governmental bodies to describe the effectiveness of a nuclear explosion. So, a three megadeath bomb would be one that killed three million people. Yup, humanity is that messed up....
I always thought that, taken in their entirety, the lyrics of this song were really cool. To be honest, however, I never did and to this day still do not understood what any of those cool verses had to do with that really cool chorus. You nailed the meaning of the chorus, but the verses, while very interesting, are not about war or peace or who's buying either one.
love the lyrical breakdown on your reactions at last someone who cares try Megadeth - Sweating Bullets, Symphony of Destruction, Kick the Chair, The Scorpion, Something that I'm Not, Trust and Diamond Head - The Coffin Train Video and lyric content
New subscriber here! Megadeth brought me here your reaction made me stay. Next Megadeth has to be their biggest and arguably one of the best thrash songs ever written. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due.Also you could check out Anthrax - Got The Time
THRASH!!!!!! there are a LOT of really good Megadeth bangers...even as recent as 2022 "We'll Be Back"!!! hard to know where to start with these brothers!!!! but this was a perfect place!
"What do u mean im not Kind... just not your Kind" - Megadeth 🤘🏽
It's crazy how relevant this song still is, the lyrics hit spot on to this day.
GREAT lyrical analysis, my man!!!

Excellent reaction. I appreciate your take on the lyrics . Rock on 🙌🏼
You need to watch the original video for this song, it was massive on MTV in the late 80’s.
Dad: “I wanna watch the news”
Kid: “This is the news”
The intro to this song was also the sound clip used for the intro to MTV News.

This song will live forever. 🤘
If I were to run for President, I'd ask to use this as my theme song.
One of the first metal songs that got me into the genre
New person from Missouri , just wanted to say hi to you JMBOYTV. 🎶🎶🎶🎶👋👋👋🤗 I truly love your face expectations.

Good review.. 👍
Great reaction
love finding a good reaction channel. much love.
Holy Wars!
Great lyrics and music. Great band. Great video.
Dave Mustaine was a founding member of Metallica, but the band had a falling out with him and he was kicked out. He then formed Megadeth.
Great analysis of a song that is just as relevant today as it was the day it was released.
My band favorite
Megadeth 🤘 👍
The beginning baseline
Was the open in Riff
For mtv news
This song is still relevant today
will see them in 7 days
Great reaction to one of my favorite songs by my favorite metal band. Grew up listening to them. Please react to Beastie Boys - Nonstop Disco Powerpack
Love your channel man 🤘
It is physically impossible to listen to this song without bobbing your head...

I know you're going to love Symbolic by Death
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Gar Samuelson was a phenomenal drummer. It's a shame he couldn't get a hold on his heroin addiction
Hola,more megadeth.🤟🏼
Must do
WAKE UP DEAD
love to see you do Megadeth " 44 minutes "
check out the whole Album it;s Probably their best album in my Opinion,,,,,, im 54, got to wittness the best era of music
Megadeth are the greatest Thrash/Speed Metal band of all time.
Great song! really good workout song. Its true though. Everyone talks peace, but war makes the evil people a lot of money.

Studio versions
Hangar 18 - that’s all I’ll say…
FYI it’s spelled as MEGADETH
Thanks!
No disrespect to Megadeth's various guitarists, but man I sure did miss Chris Poland's guitar over the band's following years after this album
PLEASE listen to hangar 18 by megadeth!!
Dude, what a great breakdown of these awesome lyrics. Honestly, this song IMO is the most American song written in the last 50 years
This song is better than anything Metallica did.
You should have reacted to the original mTV official video way better
Kick me out of Metallica. Here, hold my joint.
