    There's this whole thing about Metallica vs Megadeth but it's bollocks if you're a true metal fan, which I have been for over 30 yrs. Love both of them, Metallica are more anthemic and have more memorable songs and are brilliant at transitions in songs but Megadeth are smart, faster and technically superior. I've seen both live many times and Metallica are the better performers live but iron maiden are the best. But true metal heads listen to all.

      The riffs are tricky, but they aren't too bad once you get the hang of them. The interesting thing is that for me Marty's solos are actually harder than Dave's, mostly because Marty is cleaner, but Dave's is largely shredding so you can more easily get away with mistakes.
      Overall I wouldn't call it one of the hardest songs on guitar, although I couldn't play it while also singing.

    There's no Metallca VS Megadeth. Dave was booted from Metallica for being a drug addict, Dave turned to his religion, got clean and all is forgiven, he even feels bad and apologized for punching James in the mouth when he was fired and James forgave him right back. It's ancient history, you can be a fan of both X-Box and PlaySta...I mean DC and Marv...I mean Metallica and Megadeth.

    • @ll7868
      @ll7868 Před 6 lety +25

      Alexander Maue In Dave's case it was street drugs like coke and heroin or trippin' on acid, the rest of the band were drank alcohol and smoked weed but weren't into heavier drugs that Dave was into. They and their label asked him to go into rehab but Dave refused so they cut him loose. It was the reality of being fired that caused Dave to reevaluate his drug use but he also said he thinks that James firing him probably saved his life so in the end, no hard feeling from the band members, only wanna-be poser fans carry on that pointless grudge argument of who's better. They're both decent in their own ways just like the ither members if the Big 4, Anthrax and Slayer, are decent in their own ways, it's time to stop comparing them to each other and enjoy them for what they bring with their own styles.

    So that is the brilliance of Dave Mustaine's mind:
    Hire one of the most insanely fast speed metal guitarists out there, Marty Friedman, and then just to remind everyone Dave absolutely shreds too?
    He shreds LIKE A BEAST on this song.
    Fucking KILLED it.
    And so intense right out of the gate.
    Nick Menza, the badass drummer here, was just this intense all the time.
    To echo someone else's earlier post, criminally underrated.
    I used to have this CD EP with like 3 or 4 Megadeth songs, most of which were not on their regular full length releases.
    Anyway.
    I remember getting to the end of one song that had such high octane manic energy, and the song ended...but Nick just kept slamming away at the kit like the song was still in full swing.
    And it was hilarious because Dave had to yell into his mic "Nick...NICK!" to get Nick to stop whaling away on his kit.
    (whale2--verb, whaled, whal·ing,
    to hit, thrash, or beat soundly)
    Too funny.😂😂😂😂
    RIP Nick Menza.

  • @Drivestort
    @Drivestort Před 6 lety +67

    For some background, Dave Mustane, the lead singer and guitarist, was originally the lead guitar for Metallica, but they fired him before recording their first album and hired Kirk Hammett. The first... ten, fifteen, years of Megadeth was basically just Dave swinging a giant middle finger in the air at them for firing him.

    • @duzzitmatter8679
      @duzzitmatter8679 Před 6 lety +9

      Azazoth - yes that about sums it up. And as a result of the middle finger was some of the best metal ever created. Sadly it just wasn’t as appreciated then as it is now.

    • @ronperreault8889
      @ronperreault8889 Před 6 lety +4

      Yeah I always tell people the same. Mustaine getting booted from Metallica was kind of best case scenario. We got 2 epic bands out of it. Even though he got the boot before Kill'em All, they still had to credit him on almost every song on the album AND songs on Ride the Lightning. So at least forever in fame because of it. Him just being able to say he played a part is almost all of Metallicas best work is a fuck you in it's self.

  • @TheSamuraiApocalypse

    I have some other Megadeth suggestions:

    -Lucretia
    -Peace Sells
    -Sweating Bullets
    -Angry Again
    -She Wolf
    -Symphony of Destruction
    -Trust
    Most people would probably just suggest Symphony of Destruction cause it's another one of their most popular songs, but all the songs I mentioned and many more are worthy of your time.

    Very nice reaction! Welcome to the incredible world of Megadeth, one the best metal bands ever! Amongst metalheads, I believe "Holy Wars" is their most well-known song, and you can see why. After almost 30 years, it's still arguably their best track, but you can't go wrong with anything from this album ("Rust in Peace") or most of their catalogue.
    You mentioned Dave's voice at some point. It's very hit or miss for people (and certainly not the same after all these years), but what is more impressive is how he manages to sing while playing such complex rhythm guitar parts, most of the time unsynced between each other.

    • @andrewstorey8584
      @andrewstorey8584 Před 6 lety +1

      Fabio Riato I would say anything from the rust in peace era lineup is the best MegaDeth albums, but peace sells hands down should be his next reaction for MegaDeth. It is one of the strongest songs in all of MegaDeth's catalogue. That or in my darkest hour to get the link between Metallica and MegaDeth that is so intrinsic to the MegaDeth sound.

      I CO-SIGN THESE TWO SONGS AS WELL PEACE SELLS AND SYMPHONY OF OF DESTRUCTION I THINK ARE THE TWO BEST STUDIO VERSIONS
