hi everyone, my second introduction to one of the BIG FOUR! i'm liking what i hear!
can't wait for you to listen to some extreme metal drums he...he...he
@@d1slexycpengu1n my heart may explode
if you liked these drums, wait until you hear Slayer's Dave Lombardo hehehe
@@freddyfleal give me a month and it'll be happening i reckon hahah
I donât know if sheâs ready for that bro, thatâs next level.
"The guitar!"
"I love the drums!"
"Fast bass!"
"The vocals are questionable"
Welcome to Megadeth.
you learn to love em ;)
@@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.đ*
đ€Ł
Holy Wars is a must for the next one!
Wake up Dead and The Conjuring are also good ones
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'!
I †'Wake Up Dead' for sure!!!
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 âNo life âtill leatherâ before Kill âEm All, the Mechanix is there, when Dave got fired from Metallica he forbidden them to use his music but James and Lars didnât care so they just âadjustâ it a little and when Kill âEm 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.
Thatâs 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 âthatâs very cool man, we should definitely add that to a songâ and Dave thought it was a joke
Nick Menza (RIP) was hands down one of the greatest metal drummers.
Can't wait for your reaction to Holy Wars. You may need the EMTs on standby lol.
LOL the last part of this comment got me good. you understand hahaah
@@kirawasareactor I wouldn't mind an entire reaction to rust in peace
@@benvasiljev2602 i second this lol
Gar Samuelson was a legend as well RIP
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.
@@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
czcams.com/video/LSl54Bj2gbs/video.html
Four horsemen is faster about 80 BPM's faster.
"I loooove key changes" We got a prog girl here. Wait till she hear Dream Theater.
someone else just mentioned them too, ok i'm intrigued
@@kirawasareactor Dance of Eternity, Panic Attack, Count of Tuscany :P
When Ayreon? ;)
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.
Dream theater > rush
Not sure how Holy Wars wasn't the most requested song off this album lol. That song deserves it's own reaction đ
I just found your punk react video Friday, and I burned through all of your reaction videos that same day đ. 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 đ
many more reactions where this came from!
and thank you!! so glad you discovered my channel and are enjoying it :) omg that is so lovely of you to share as well!! you are TOO KIND
Holywars is right up your street and deserves it's own reaction from start to finish you'll love it also your reactions are epic đ
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
"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.
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.
Hey Kira, Dave Mustaine is also the lead guitarist. I was hoping for Wake up Dead
hi Victor, hope you're doing well! vocals and guitar ohhh yee
@@efee11 i'll have to do wake up dead in a video soon! i reckon i will. thinking of doing a BIG FOUR video with one song from each
@@kirawasareactor that is so cool, keep it up, love your channel
Dave is co-lead guitarist. Usually the more melodic solos are played by the other guy
@@efee11 Yes, but I meant in general. Thereâs always a different âother guyâ although Marty is the best.
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. 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
Daves voice needs now help to sound awful, itâs always been awful
@@charlesbaker7505 No debate here, but there is a huge difference between the versions.
@@marctoad i got the warheads on forheads compilation album and i cant tell if its the remastered version or original or a mix of both,
@@charlesbaker7505 Could be a mix of both, like they did with These Boots on KIMB The Final Kill.
@@finishin.my.coffee8780 man they really gotta stop releasing the greatest hits albums for every new album just to add like 3 songs
You can't pass this without listening to "In my darkest hour".
or the whole so far .. so good..so what album
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'.
I personally prefer some of the remasters for KIMB, originals are just a bit too raw and sloppy imo but yeah no remaster did RIP justice
@vlodTV đ
@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.
@@steveyoung6702 yeah I agree with that although Iâm not too against the remaster of peace sells either, just RIP for me that is bad
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.
Love your accent, and just love how excited you get!! Such positive energy, you could brighten anyone's day
This young lady is the absolute best! She's just bursting with good energy that's highly contagious!
14: 31 young lady enjoying awesome guitar playing lol
Please react to Five Magics from Rust In Peace
The singer is also the guitarist so the amount of talent in this band is insane!
Thanks for your videos! Your reaction, in particular the sincere enjoyment, would be a guitarist's dream!
Great reaction Kira like always. I think you are realy lucky to be able to hear all these songs for the first time.
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!
Ideas for your next Megadeth reactionđ€
- Looking Down the Cross
- My Last Words (you'll love the bass)
- Rust in Peace... Polaris đ€đ€đ€
I don't know how many people will agree with me, but I love the album "Cryptic Writings". Trust, She-Wolf, Vortex, so many cool songs...
Me too bro . They are my favorite songs of the album
"This is a guitar heavy song."
Hasn't heard Hangar 18 yet
Love your Tornado of Souls reaction :D
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.
Holy wars, wake up dead and in my darkest hour for the next Megadeth video
hi Sharoop!! awesome thank you :D
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.
This is such an energetic reaction 10/10
You are fun to watch and listen to! I was about 15 when this came out! So much energy in this!
I love how she reacts to all this songs, she's great! :D
Wow, best reaction:) \m/
I love your facial expression and dance moves to songs ! U r awesome and I just subscribed â€
âI still donât understand how people drum this fast.â
Side-eyed look at Meshuggah - Bleed drum cam video.
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.
and then she can go listen to some Death. After all, that's also the 80s.
@@iogssothoth666 Nice of you to think you know what is best for people. You truly are a saint.
@@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.
Bleed is not difficult for being fast
Fast drums would be like, black metal or some death metal with the blast beating and 300 bpm songs lol
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 :)
hahah you can never forget a good bass line
MTV News. You hear it (bass line)âŠ.first.
Slaaaaaaaaaayer!!! Since we're doing thrash now. "Black Magic" is my favorite favorite.
Slaaayer đ€
Megadeth riffs and solos are the reason why I picked up a guitar. Been playing for 20 years and Megadeth never ceases to amaze.
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
Love the reaction to Tornado of Souls
I really love your reactions
Bonus points for featuring the original cover of Killing is my business!
I love your energy
aw thank you :) :) :)
Hi Kira, I have seen people try and dance to Megadeth, they usually get injured. You should learn peace sells on bass, lots of fun. Great reaction once again. Cheers from the great White north. đšđŠđ»đ»
Killing is my business, that will always remain my favorite album. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to the music that shaped my childhood. You rock girl, love your reactions to my favorite music. Next songs should be Hanger 18, Wake up dead, and devils island. Those are my recommendations.
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
The Conjuring, Devilâs 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!
Awesome vid. King diamonds gotta be next man!
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
And Nick died playing with Chris Poland. Sad.
Love the reaction. For your next Megadeth reaction "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" and "In My Darkest Hour" are absolute musts. After that a few songs I would recommend are "The Conjuring", "Symphony of Destruction", "Hook in Mouth", "Wake Up Dead", "Washington is Next!", and there's a ton more but these are all a great start.
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.
Vic Rattle (Megadethâs mascot) was originally drawn by my good friend Sean Smithson. Look up their 1983/84 demo tape. Thatâs his art. They thank him on the back of Peace Sells album.
You are so lovely. Keep going!
I really loved your reaction u gained a fan now and im really looking forward to seeing you reacting to Holy wars
Megadeth is soooo good. Easily my favourite in the Big 4. Listen to anything by them and you wonât be disappointed
Hereâs 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.
Hi Kira - 4:08 - So much intensity that your †is racing ! Now that's pulsating đ¶ & I love it. You should check out the more restrained but entertaining Ratt for a future episode. đđ - Awesome đas always Kira đž
some of these songs just bring it out in me and I love it!! oh ok I'll look into Ratt thank you David!! hope you have a nice day :)
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.
Next three songs to react: Wake up Dead, The Darkest Hour, Holy Wars!
Really like your reactions, I love rock/metal bands/songs you reacted to, and really like your personality :D only negative is the skipping in the songs but I understand why. I hope you become big youtuber :)
I love your reactions đ€â€ïž
thanks Nathalia!!!
The drummer for first 2 songs was Gar Samuelson, who was a jazz fusion drummer before joining Megadeth
They have a song called Hangar 18 that has 11 guitar solos! Thatâs 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)
Great review!
I would strongly recommend 'Symphony of Destruction', 'Sweating Bullets', 'Hangar 18', and *'Holy Wars'* if you want to appreciate them fully.
Gar Samuelson, the drummer on the first and second Megadeth albums, RIP đŻ
Kira, I wish you could have been one of my classmates in high school. We'd have been fast friends!
Greetings from Mexico đ
12:27 His name is Marty Friedman. Known in the guitar world simply as "Marty". He is a real live fucking legend.
Dave is basically the only real mainstay in the band and is always on guitar. Its basically Daves band. the second guitarist changes through time but was Marty at this time.
Marty also goes by MF and God.
Y'all know before he landed the megadeth gig he auditioned for madonna ...
MTv used to use the Peace Sells opening bassline for their news intro.
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.
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.
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 :)
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. :))
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.
Holy Wars....Start to Finish....Non stop BANGIN'
the whole middle section is pretty slow and moody -i think you mean take no prisoners
Fun fact. The guitarist Chris Poland and the drummer Gar Samuelson were both born in my hometown.
So illuminating as always. Fuck with you always my girl
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'.
Hell yeah!!đ€đ€
This is where the fun begins
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 đ
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.
This made my ball bearings melt from the heat.
Wow...love your reactions. Do Rattlehead , Conjuring, & 502 next.
RIP Gar
RIP Nick
Megadeth is my band at the gym. It gets me going
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.
FINALLY AAAAAAAAA đđ„
Holy wars and in my darkest hour are a mustâŠOh. And the whole rust in peace album. Front to back is awesome!
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.
Nick Menza was a great successor for Gar!
Dirk who is currently in the band is a great successor to both of them :)
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.
RIP Nick Mensa one of the greats. He was the drummer on this album
holy wars,symphony of destruction & she-wolf for the next megadeth video!!!
My Last Words is an effin jam! Highly recommended
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)
A band i never see reacted to is Angel. 'The Fortune' would be a good introduction. The full 8min 41sec album version from 1976 đ
Btw Dave Mustaine is a big fan of theirs
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
Gar Samuelson was the drummer on Killing Is My Business and Peace Sells and Nick Menza was the drummer on Rust in Peace. Both legends in their own right who are unfortunately no longer with us.
How can someone play drums that fast?
âHold my beerâ- Dave Lombardo
I love your reactions! Theyâre so full of the joy of discovery! You need to graduate to Slayer. Iâd suggest all three from Reign in Blood.
Criminally Insane
Necrophobic
Hell Awaits
Peace Sells is the âslow jamâ of Megadeth
Rust in Peace (album) is their magnum opus.
Set the world afire, hangar 18 and good morning/ black friday :)
