@@aurelienaurie8487 True. They're my favorite thrash band. I like Dave's vocals because they fit the music perfectly, I think. Technically though, holy shit he can't sing lol.
Dave wrote the Mechanix, in fact if you listen the demo album “No life ‘till leather” before Kill ‘Em All, the Mechanix is there, when Dave got fired from Metallica he forbidden them to use his music but James and Lars didn’t care so they just “adjust” it a little and when Kill ‘Em All came out Dave was fuming seeing that they used his music so forming his own band (Megadeth) dave used the original songs he wrote but sped the tempo up because Megadeth does not sound anything like Metallica even if Dave could make it if he wanted. That’s 1/1000 of the entire history between Dave, Metallica and Megadeth vs Metallica rivalry that went on for decades.
@@hell725 Dave also mentioned that mechanix was too fast for Lars so he slowed it down and at some point played sweet home Alabama, Lars not knowing it, added it to the four horsemen cuz it sounded badass
@@thegallowsdodger34 true story! Dave was just joking around and lars was “that’s very cool man, we should definitely add that to a song” and Dave thought it was a joke
I could be wrong, but I think I read that the original song had the music of the four horsemen and the lyrics of Mechanix. Then when Dave got booted Metallica changed the lyrics. Then when Dave was showing up Metallica with more aggressive music, he kept his lyrics and made the song faster.
@@davidede7778 there's an added section and its also slowed down. Plus the different lyrics but they're more or less the same song with minor differences, down to the solo. Theres a link to the no life till leather which was released as a demo in 82 th-cam.com/video/LSl54Bj2gbs/w-d-xo.html
dream theater are ok.wait tll she listens to the ones that created the progressive metal scene. Fates Warning will make her see the world with a different eye.
Not sure how Holy Wars wasn't the most requested song off this album lol. That song deserves it's own reaction 😁 I just found your punk react video Friday, and I burned through all of your reaction videos that same day 😊. It is SO much fun watching you discover the music that helped shape my childhood...and your energy and enthusiasm is SO much fun to watch! Instant sub, and I'm sharing your videos to get you more subs 😉
Holy wars is pretty much their main song. Might not be the best(though i think it is) or most popular(that would be symphony of destruction), but the most important and epic.
Peace sells and wake up dead are my favorite Megadeth songs. My suggestion for the next video is: Wake up dead which has the best lyrics ever hahahah, In my darkest hour which is a song that according to Dave Mustaine, the instrumental of this song was created with the feeling he was feeling at the time that Cliff Burton died, but the lyrics are dedicated to Dave's ex-fiancée Diana(Her name is mentioned in the song wake up dead) and Symphony of destruction, because whoever is a Megadeth fan has to know their main song.
The version of Tornado of Souls you listened to was a remastered version from the 2000s that generally makes Dave's vocals sound really bad. Also the instruments sound even better on the original. Most of the time I don't say remasters matter all that much (as far as if your first listening is remastered or original) but in the case of Megadeth these are really bad. When you do listen to more Megadeth, and especially Rust in Peace, try and make sure it's the original and not remastered; that's my advice. Also Dave's voice in general is usually the sticky point for people getting into Megadeth, so don't feel too discouraged. Love the channel :) For next from them, I recommend Holy Wars... The Punishment Due Hangar 18 Good Mourning/Black Friday
Devil's Island is probably my favorite off of _Peace Sells._ It's a banger. Also the first two songs off of _So Far, So Good, So What_ are a masterpiece. One song leads into the other, so it's basically one song in my mind. It's like Megadeth's version of Foreplay/Long Time by Boston.
Wake up dead - (opening track from the peace sells album) Good morning/ black Friday - (peace sells album) Set the world afire - (opening track from the 'So far, so good, so what!?' album) Note: When reacting to Megadeth always choose the original tracks NOT the remasters. They aren't as good as the original versions.
Edit: 'set the world afire' is the second track off 'so far, so good, so what!?. 'Into the lungs of hell' is the opening track and is the intro to 'Set the world afire'.
@MMPGSSL237 Yeah I guess the exception would be for Killing is my business. I own the remaster and haven't heard the original, but she should avoid the other remasters IMO.
Vic Rattle (Megadeth’s mascot) was originally drawn by my good friend Sean Smithson. Look up their 1983/84 demo tape. That’s his art. They thank him on the back of Peace Sells album.
Megadeth is one of my favorite metal bands! So good! You jumping around with joy makes it that more fun to watch! I'm glad you enjoyed Megadeth! Tornado of Souls was actually the song that introduced me to Megadeth back in 2009/2010! Honestly, if you are to react to a full Megadeth album...Rust In Peace is the one to do! Oh it is the same vocalist throughout the band's history!
The "Rust in Peace" era lineup of Megadeth is the best one IMO! I love the way that Dave and Marty would trade back and forth doing solos. They had distinctive styles of lead guitar that were both awesome and complimented each other. They still had the same lineup for the "Countdown to Extinction" album, and that and Rust in Peace are my favorite Megadeth albums.
Gar died a long time ago (1999) from liver failure, he couldn't kick his heroin and alcohol addictions. He and Chris Poland were both fired for selling the bands equipment to buy heroin
she's generally not ready yet for death metal we need to ease her progressively into more aggressive vocals. Right now, she's into thrash, so soon she will listen to some slayer, and we will see what that gives as a result.
@@chimpinaneckbrace I'm not saying that at random. It's based on how she reacted to the various bands, including even SOAD. Screamed lyrics don't look to be too much of her thing. They can be an acquired taste. or just be off-putting to some people. She said, in her first reaction video that she had an image of metal based on some death she had heard long ago, and that it wasn't really her thing. It might have changed, but it's better to go progressively. It would be too bad if she were to miss out on the whole genre just because she wasn't yet at the point of appreciating that. Beside, she's still listening to music from the 80s, and has said several times that she wasn't willing to move further chronologically.
Gar Samuelson, the drummer on the first and second Megadeth albums, RIP 🕯 Kira, I wish you could have been one of my classmates in high school. We'd have been fast friends!
yea, the original drummer and lead guitarist were jazz musicians, Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson were absolutely amazing, and rest in peace to Gar, he was a great drummer.
The drums on Peace Sells and Mechanix are by the spectacular Gar Samuelson R.I.P, he was in a jazz band along with the second guitarist Chris Poland before joining Megadeth . Tornado of Souls have Nick Menza R.I.P on drums and Marty Friedman on guitar, Megadeth is known from have amazing musicians. Good Mourning/Black Friday and Hangar 18 are mandatory Megadeth songs for beginners.
The Conjuring, Devil’s Island, Good Mourning/Black Friday, Last Rites/Loved to Death, Holy Wars, Take No Prisoners and Five Magics. These are my suggestions for more Megadeth!
Me: "I don't think I've heard any Megadeth songs", the bass riff at the start of Peace Sells kicks in "oh, yes, I've heard that before". I love a good bass line :)
Rust In Peace is a G.O.A.T. album. Virtually every track on it is worth a reaction video, especially Holy Wars (watch the music video!), Five Magics, and the title track. Nick Menza is the drummer who took over after Garr, and I promise you will love him, the dude is an absolutely freakshow on the kit.
Rust in Peace definitely deserves its own reaction. Every song on it is fire. If you only want to do three, though, I'd recommend Holy Wars, Lucretia, and Polaris.
They have a song called Hangar 18 that has 11 guitar solos! That‘s some crazy stuff My favourite is Washington is Next Their most successful song (200 million Spotify streams) is Symphony of destruction 10:17 The drummer(s) after him were really good too (Megadeth is known for kicking out many band members XD)
Thrash Metal, my favorite style in Metal! Some suggestions for the future: Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells Anthrax - Indians Forced Entry - Macrocosm, Microcosm Pantera - Becoming Slayer - War Ensemble Demolition Hammer - Infectious Hospital Waste Testament - Into the Pit Kreator - Flag of Hate Vio-Lence - Calling in the Coroner Death Angel - Voracious Souls Attomica - Deathraiser Voivod - Ravenous Medicine ...and a lot of many others bands and songs
Wow!! Thoroughly enjoyable reaction!! Love your energy! Megadeth is an amazing band. Rust in Peace is considered a Thrash Masterpiece. I really like how much your dug Gar, he was a one of a kind drummer, his Jazz meets Metal style was incredible and perfect for the band.
I'm an old metalhead from the 70's, you've got a good start with your reactions so far. I would suggest Triumph's songs 'Blinding Light Show / Moonchild' 1976(It's like a harder version of Pink Floyd to me), follow it with Little 'Texas Shaker' from 1977(reminds me of Jimi H.) and end it with the epic hit from 1979 song 'Lay it on the line'.
Here’s the issue with the vocals on _Tornado of Souls:_ they were re-recorded in 2004, and you listened to the re-recorded version. The original 1990 recording sounds very different, and in my opinion, the vocals sound much better.
My understanding was that the only rerecorded vocals on the RIP remaster from 2004 were on Take No Prisoners. Five Magics uses an alternate take from 1990, but Tornado of Souls is the original vocal afaik.
@@Charlie.Cisneros you can tell mostly in the backing vocals that there are subtle differences rather than just in how they're mixed. It's staggering. Less obvious with this song than others.
How can someone play drums that fast? “Hold my beer”- Dave Lombardo I love your reactions! They’re so full of the joy of discovery! You need to graduate to Slayer. I’d suggest all three from Reign in Blood. Criminally Insane Necrophobic Hell Awaits
Great review! I would strongly recommend 'Symphony of Destruction', 'Sweating Bullets', 'Hangar 18', and *'Holy Wars'* if you want to appreciate them fully.
Fun fact- Even none Metal fans who grew up in the 1990's know the bass line that is tbeintro to Peace Sells. Back when MTV used to play music Videos and nor wall to wall reality tv garbage they would occasionally interrupt the programs to bring breaking stories in Music news or even in World News. the intro to Peace sells was used as the intro to MTV news. When we learned that Kurt Cobain from Nirvana, Princess Diana, The Notorious B.I.G and Tupac had died we heard that intro bass line.
On your question about how fast the drummer is, that is because they use double strokes. Basically each time he swings a stick or kicks the pedal he lets it rebound a second time basically doubling the speed that he can accomplish with one motion.
You gotta listen to Holy Wars, Good Mourning and In My Darkest Hour. The drums from Nick Menz (drummer of rust in peace) are also of a very high level - perhaps Tornado of Souls is not the best song to showcase his drums, try Rust in Peace - Polaris from the same album. You may also have thought the vocals were a tad odd in tornado of souls because you listened to the 2004 remixes rather than the originals, with the 2004 mixes considered to be worse, with vocal tracks for some songs even being rerecorded. It can make a surprisingly big difference. Glad you're enjoying megadeth. :))
Check out 'In My Darkest Hour' from the "So Far, So Good...So What!" album. Dave wrote it just after Cliff Burton (Metallica's first bassist who was revered by just about everyone in the 80's punk & metal scene) passed away. RIP Cliff
Rust in peace, as a whole album, is fantastic. Marty Friedman is a spectacular guitarist. The older albums are fun as well, I particularly like Peace Sells. Countdown to Extinction is another solid choice, but that is more 90s...then again, though, the 90s was where Megadeth really shined.
I usually don't give these bands a second listen, but your journey into different metal genres keeps me going. And your enthusiasm is 10x better than the actual songs. Haha.
5 magics, set the world Afire, wake up dead, Dystopia, holy wars, Lucretia, ashes in your mouth, Train of Consequences. Is a must ... original versions only. This will give you a sense of how versatile, talented and influential Dave has been to Metal.
Just discovered your channel, and so I glad I did! To be honest, finally someone reacting with vital energy to something, I'm sick of these boring youtubers just reacting with no vitality. Don't change please, your content is great, keep it up! Cheers from Spain
these videos are actually introducing me to some new music as well. Never gotten around to Megadeth. I only know one of their songs, Public Enemy No. 1, which I really like and only found because it was in an AMV for this anime I was obsessed with (Black Lagoon) :D
dude my favourite thing - which i never expected going into this - is being able to show people new music. lots of people i know in real life have found metal music through my videos :) omg lol anime that's awesome
Based on your reaction(s) (also just seen the newer Holy Wars) I think you'll dig: Set the World Afire (riffs!) Rust In Peace...Polaris (play it loud!) The Conjuring (great track) Good Morning/Black Friday (mellow>hard) Five Magics (also mellow>hard) Last Rites/Loved to Death (1985)
You should listen to more tracks from the Peace Sells album, the whole thing is flawless and Dave's vocals are killer on that album. Wake Up Dead, The Conjuring, Black Friday, and My Last Words are all must listens. Rust In Peace is perfect too, Holy Wars and Hangar 18 are absolutely mandatory tracks.
Also check out "Countdown To Extinction". It not only brought MEGADETH into the mainstream but has some amazing trax! I probably like the title track the most but 'Forclosure Of A Dream' is a def a decent track. Most peeps probably like 'Symphony Of Destruction', and while it's a great track, I prefer other trax to it...but it's def still good! 'Skin O' My Teeth' and 'Sweating Bullets' are fun too!
Yesterday I discovered your channel and here I am today, watching a brand new video, I recommend you to hear wake up dead, set the world afire and the conjuring, pretty underrated songs
They're one of my favorite bands. I really liked the way you reacted to them, I've never seen that much energy in a reaction. If you return, I'd recommend "Looking Down the Cross," "My Last Words" and "Victory." It was sad that Gar was kicked, but he was selling the band's gear for drug money. And I'll agree that Dave isn't a great singer, I can't think of anyone else who replace him for vocalist.
Holy Wars.....The punishment due and Hanger 18 are a must listen....and CRANK IT LOUD!!!!!! You will not be sorry. They are the first 2 tracks on the Rust In Peace album.
The crazy thing about the first two albums was that Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson were jazz/fusion musicians. That definitely gave Megadeth an edge over the other bands from the time. No disrespect to the other bands, but Megadeth was always top on my book because Dave always sought top notch musicians to play in Megadeth.

@@aurelienaurie8487 True. They're my favorite thrash band. I like Dave's vocals because they fit the music perfectly, I think. Technically though, holy shit he can't sing lol.
@@Gazzsi fair enough haha. You are right, objectively he isn't s great singer but it fits the songs - though I've got a soft spot for the singing
He could be worse.....
*At least he's not Hetfield.😁*
🤣
I think Dave (and Megadeth) was intentionally trying to play Mechanix faster than Metallica could play it, just to make a point.
yeah, that's why he added a laugh track at the end of the song!
Dave wrote the Mechanix, in fact if you listen the demo album “No life ‘till leather” before Kill ‘Em All, the Mechanix is there, when Dave got fired from Metallica he forbidden them to use his music but James and Lars didn’t care so they just “adjust” it a little and when Kill ‘Em All came out Dave was fuming seeing that they used his music so forming his own band (Megadeth) dave used the original songs he wrote but sped the tempo up because Megadeth does not sound anything like Metallica even if Dave could make it if he wanted.
That’s 1/1000 of the entire history between Dave, Metallica and Megadeth vs Metallica rivalry that went on for decades.
that makes sense he wrote it it is the same song
@@hell725 Dave also mentioned that mechanix was too fast for Lars so he slowed it down and at some point played sweet home Alabama, Lars not knowing it, added it to the four horsemen cuz it sounded badass
@@thegallowsdodger34 true story! Dave was just joking around and lars was “that’s very cool man, we should definitely add that to a song” and Dave thought it was a joke

Holy Wars is indeed a must
And Dawn Patrol, given Kira's love of bass...
@@nigeldepledge3790 Excellent Bass suggestion!!
@@pb9018 Absolutely! That un - 'Punishment Is Due'!

Technically "Four Horsemen" is the slower version of "Mechanix", but yeah.
I could be wrong, but I think I read that the original song had the music of the four horsemen and the lyrics of Mechanix. Then when Dave got booted Metallica changed the lyrics. Then when Dave was showing up Metallica with more aggressive music, he kept his lyrics and made the song faster.
@@davidede7778 correct
Only slower on the album. The live version is as fast as Mechanix.

Four horsemen is faster about 80 BPM's faster.

Holy wars is pretty much their main song. Might not be the best(though i think it is) or most popular(that would be symphony of destruction), but the most important and epic.
Yes no idea how Tornado of Souls one of the worst songs rom that album got requested... I guess those people just like the solo club

Dave is co-lead guitarist. Usually the more melodic solos are played by the other guy
@@efee11 Yes, but I meant in general. There’s always a different ”other guy” although Marty is the best.
"how do you dance to this, it's so fast?"
well, you don't. You headbang.
And slam dance
True dat.
You can dance to it, Megadeth can be groovy as hell.
You can definitely dance to that
Peace sells and wake up dead are my favorite Megadeth songs. My suggestion for the next video is: Wake up dead which has the best lyrics ever hahahah, In my darkest hour which is a song that according to Dave Mustaine, the instrumental of this song was created with the feeling he was feeling at the time that Cliff Burton died, but the lyrics are dedicated to Dave's ex-fiancée Diana(Her name is mentioned in the song wake up dead) and Symphony of destruction, because whoever is a Megadeth fan has to know their main song.
By the way, I think Symphony of Destruction's live version from "That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires" DVD is pretty iconic and worth checking out.
ATLEAST listen to the entire Peace Sells album, that's a masterpiece of an album! (Or better yet, all of their 80's albums + Rust in Peace)
The version of Tornado of Souls you listened to was a remastered version from the 2000s that generally makes Dave's vocals sound really bad. Also the instruments sound even better on the original.

Megadeth is soooo good. Easily my favourite in the Big 4. Listen to anything by them and you won’t be disappointed
Groovy. Yesss Megadeath can be so dancable and just a sick groove
Nick Menza was a great successor for Gar!
Dirk who is currently in the band is a great successor to both of them :)
Megadeth - as well as most thrash bands - are really all about the instruments. The vocals are mostly an afterthought, to give a meaning to the song.

Thrash Metal, my favorite style in Metal! Some suggestions for the future:
Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells
Anthrax - Indians
Forced Entry - Macrocosm, Microcosm
Pantera - Becoming
Slayer - War Ensemble
Demolition Hammer - Infectious Hospital Waste
Testament - Into the Pit
Kreator - Flag of Hate
Vio-Lence - Calling in the Coroner
Death Angel - Voracious Souls
Attomica - Deathraiser
Voivod - Ravenous Medicine
...and a lot of many others bands and songs
Wow!! Thoroughly enjoyable reaction!! Love your energy!
Megadeth is an amazing band. Rust in Peace is considered a Thrash Masterpiece.
I really like how much your dug Gar, he was a one of a kind drummer, his Jazz meets Metal style was incredible and perfect for the band.
I'm an old metalhead from the 70's, you've got a good start with your reactions so far. I would suggest Triumph's songs 'Blinding Light Show / Moonchild' 1976(It's like a harder version of Pink Floyd to me), follow it with Little 'Texas Shaker' from 1977(reminds me of Jimi H.) and end it with the epic hit from 1979 song 'Lay it on the line'.
Wake up Dead, The Conjuring, Holy wars, Hangar 18, Hook in Mouth ... and more .. thrash classics
Next three songs to react: Wake up Dead, The Darkest Hour, Holy Wars!
Here’s the issue with the vocals on _Tornado of Souls:_ they were re-recorded in 2004, and you listened to the re-recorded version. The original 1990 recording sounds very different, and in my opinion, the vocals sound much better.
Yeah, she heard Mustaine a whole 14 years older with more range issues. He hit those notes like a madman in 1990.
My understanding was that the only rerecorded vocals on the RIP remaster from 2004 were on Take No Prisoners. Five Magics uses an alternate take from 1990, but Tornado of Souls is the original vocal afaik.
@@Charlie.Cisneros you can tell mostly in the backing vocals that there are subtle differences rather than just in how they're mixed. It's staggering. Less obvious with this song than others.
How can someone play drums that fast?
“Hold my beer”- Dave Lombardo
I love your reactions! They’re so full of the joy of discovery! You need to graduate to Slayer. I’d suggest all three from Reign in Blood.
Criminally Insane
Necrophobic
Hell Awaits
Awesome vid. King diamonds gotta be next man!
Drummers have always been the Megadeth’s joker card. They were all jazz drummers back in their glorious days.
he didn't moved.... he was fired. then created MEGADETH. and all is HISTORY.
Great review!
I would strongly recommend 'Symphony of Destruction', 'Sweating Bullets', 'Hangar 18', and *'Holy Wars'* if you want to appreciate them fully.
Fun fact- Even none Metal fans who grew up in the 1990's know the bass line that is tbeintro to Peace Sells.
Back when MTV used to play music Videos and nor wall to wall reality tv garbage they would occasionally interrupt the programs to bring breaking stories in Music news or even in World News. the intro to Peace sells was used as the intro to MTV news. When we learned that Kurt Cobain from Nirvana, Princess Diana, The Notorious B.I.G and Tupac had died we heard that intro bass line.
I love how she reacts to all this songs, she's great! :D
On your question about how fast the drummer is, that is because they use double strokes. Basically each time he swings a stick or kicks the pedal he lets it rebound a second time basically doubling the speed that he can accomplish with one motion.
Bonus points for featuring the original cover of Killing is my business!
You gotta listen to Holy Wars, Good Mourning and In My Darkest Hour. The drums from Nick Menz (drummer of rust in peace) are also of a very high level - perhaps Tornado of Souls is not the best song to showcase his drums, try Rust in Peace - Polaris from the same album.
You may also have thought the vocals were a tad odd in tornado of souls because you listened to the 2004 remixes rather than the originals, with the 2004 mixes considered to be worse, with vocal tracks for some songs even being rerecorded. It can make a surprisingly big difference.
Glad you're enjoying megadeth. :))
RIP Nick Mensa one of the greats. He was the drummer on this album
Holy Wars/Punishment Due, Sweating Bullets, and Symphony of Destruction are Megadeth songs you would probably enjoy
I would also recommend these song reactions from Megadeth
1. Ashes in your mouth
2. Five magics
3. Hangar 18
4. Wake up dead
The intro to "Rust In Peace...Polaris" is like, the hardest drum intro ever lol
Check out 'In My Darkest Hour' from the "So Far, So Good...So What!" album. Dave wrote it just after Cliff Burton (Metallica's first bassist who was revered by just about everyone in the 80's punk & metal scene) passed away. RIP Cliff
Rust in peace, as a whole album, is fantastic. Marty Friedman is a spectacular guitarist. The older albums are fun as well, I particularly like Peace Sells. Countdown to Extinction is another solid choice, but that is more 90s...then again, though, the 90s was where Megadeth really shined.
I love your facial expression and dance moves to songs ! U r awesome and I just subscribed ❤
You are fun to watch and listen to! I was about 15 when this came out! So much energy in this!
Peace Sells is the “slow jam” of Megadeth
Rust in Peace (album) is their magnum opus.
He didn’t end up in Megadeth. He created Megadeth to show the guys in Metallica what a huge mistake they made. And so he did 😎
kirawasareactor- how do u dance so fast
we metalheads- excuse me young lady..we headbang like crazy...
Pantera- Art of Shredding, By Demons be Driven, War Nerve. All Different albums! Can't wait! Cheers!!!
Great reaction Kira like always. I think you are realy lucky to be able to hear all these songs for the first time.
Holy wars and Hangar 18 gotta be next!
Btw you should definitely try Dream Theater.
10:12 Did you also notice that he passed in 1999, Rip Gar Samuelson.
I usually don't give these bands a second listen, but your journey into different metal genres keeps me going. And your enthusiasm is 10x better than the actual songs. Haha.
MTv used to use the Peace Sells opening bassline for their news intro.
5 magics, set the world Afire, wake up dead, Dystopia, holy wars, Lucretia, ashes in your mouth, Train of Consequences. Is a must ... original versions only. This will give you a sense of how versatile, talented and influential Dave has been to Metal.
Love your Tornado of Souls reaction :D
Can't wait for her to listen to dave Lombardo's drumming :)
Just discovered your channel, and so I glad I did!
To be honest, finally someone reacting with vital energy to something, I'm sick of these boring youtubers just reacting with no vitality.
Don't change please, your content is great, keep it up!
Cheers from Spain
these videos are actually introducing me to some new music as well. Never gotten around to Megadeth. I only know one of their songs, Public Enemy No. 1, which I really like and only found because it was in an AMV for this anime I was obsessed with (Black Lagoon) :D
dude my favourite thing - which i never expected going into this - is being able to show people new music. lots of people i know in real life have found metal music through my videos :) omg lol anime that's awesome
Black Lagoon was so good I really enjoyed it, and Megadeth is great too.
This is such an energetic reaction 10/10
Based on your reaction(s) (also just seen the newer Holy Wars) I think you'll dig:
Set the World Afire (riffs!)
Rust In Peace...Polaris (play it loud!)
The Conjuring (great track)
Good Morning/Black Friday (mellow>hard)
Five Magics (also mellow>hard)
Last Rites/Loved to Death (1985)
You should listen to more tracks from the Peace Sells album, the whole thing is flawless and Dave's vocals are killer on that album. Wake Up Dead, The Conjuring, Black Friday, and My Last Words are all must listens. Rust In Peace is perfect too, Holy Wars and Hangar 18 are absolutely mandatory tracks.
You listen to music like I do, and pick up and get excited at the same things I do. I love to watch it haha 😂
Well aren't you just adorable! Rare to see people show so much enthusiasm when listening to metal for the 1st time.
For the next Megadeth reaction: In My Darkest Hour, Wake Up Dead, Hangar 18, Holy Wars, Sweating Bullets
Mechanix is the original version, it came before 4 Horseman and was on the Metallica demo 'No Life till Leather ' before Metallica's Kill em All
Also check out "Countdown To Extinction". It not only brought MEGADETH into the mainstream but has some amazing trax! I probably like the title track the most but 'Forclosure Of A Dream' is a def a decent track. Most peeps probably like 'Symphony Of Destruction', and while it's a great track, I prefer other trax to it...but it's def still good! 'Skin O' My Teeth' and 'Sweating Bullets' are fun too!
Yesterday I discovered your channel and here I am today, watching a brand new video, I recommend you to hear wake up dead, set the world afire and the conjuring, pretty underrated songs
i'm excited to get around to it thanks :)
They're one of my favorite bands. I really liked the way you reacted to them, I've never seen that much energy in a reaction. If you return, I'd recommend "Looking Down the Cross," "My Last Words" and "Victory." It was sad that Gar was kicked, but he was selling the band's gear for drug money. And I'll agree that Dave isn't a great singer, I can't think of anyone else who replace him for vocalist.
Wow...love your reactions. Do Rattlehead , Conjuring, & 502 next.
RIP Gar
RIP Nick
Set the world afire, hangar 18 and good morning/ black friday :)
Mechanix is just BRUTAL
Holy Wars.....The punishment due and Hanger 18 are a must listen....and CRANK IT LOUD!!!!!! You will not be sorry. They are the first 2 tracks on the Rust In Peace album.
The crazy thing about the first two albums was that Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson were jazz/fusion musicians. That definitely gave Megadeth an edge over the other bands from the time. No disrespect to the other bands, but Megadeth was always top on my book because Dave always sought top notch musicians to play in Megadeth.
LOL!🤣 "How do you even dance to this?"
