I am so glad James and Lars fired him. For Dave was able to express himself more than those two ever would let him.

[@metalmaniac8640]

Dougie D funny bc alot of ppl complain of Dave doing the same.

[@metalheadgaming4524]

Let’s be clear, Dave fired them.

[@rangamsarmah2061]

Not trying to start a war between those bitches again, but, rust in peace and master of puppets aren't the albums which pioneered thrash, but they are the ones who revolutionized thrash. I love both, so, you bitches don't bombard me with your shit, I mean Metallica and megadeth themselves got over it YEARS ago, so what's the problem with those guys.

[@agnesecemulini5360]

Did you know that Dave Mustaine (lead vocals and guitar) played in Metallica? You can hear his influence in "Kill 'em all" by Metallica.

[@lmlCOBHClml]

Agnese Cemulini and ride the lightning

[@grayman7809]

wait he did?

[@Metalheadyup]

One of the most known facts in metal, yes. The rivalry didn't just pop up from nowhere, hehe =)

[@rja9996]

His only contributions to Ride the Lighting were Call of Ktulu and the main riff in Ride the Lightning (song)

[@NotANameist]

Yes, he did. They kicked him out early on and they had a feud for years.

[@alfonsorojas4862]

I'm so happy because you said. "His voice is incredible "

[@ryanhenderson2388]

Alfonso01 Rojas Loredo Holy Wars, imo, is the song where Dave’s voice fits the best. Or peace sells.

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

I've always liked his voice. I didn't know some Megadeth fans didn't like Dave's voice until my friend told me he didn't. I was surprised to here him say that, and then I find out a lot of people agree with him. I really just don't get it either man, so I was happy he said that too.

[@ReedHarrison]

The entire Rust in Peace ,album is a work of musical genius. And as a guitar player I can say it's very challenging to play also

[@Kylora2112]

And Marty Friedman's guitar solo is one of the best leads ever cut to tape.

[@aliesquembrekucukalic]

And the best metal solo ever

[@grahf9436]

Tornado is a okay song. Great solo the rest is just okay. Five Magic’s is probably the best track off the album

[@AustinGonder]

Matt Van Winkle what? Okay? Tornado is the best

[@ThrashBandicoot666]

The solo in this song is easily the GREATEST thrash solo ever written

If you want more Megadeth you could always check out "Hangar 18", it's much more instrumental which I think would really interest you!

[@jackcranmer4904]

or tornado of souls for that sick freaking solo

[@chilldog998]

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.

[@maartenprehn3960]

Absolutely agree. It's just like the rivalry between the sub genres. Who cares if it its thrash, death, black, power or heavy metal as long as it's good metal?

[@dumbazzdev]

Everyone better like this fucking comment! Al Clark is very correct

[@randymyer2996]

I like Heavy Metal, Rap, country, classical and Opera, Coke and Pepsi, Star Wars and Star trek, Marvel and DC, all thirty-one flavors at Baskin Robbins and love both Metallica and Mega Deth. I have never understood having to pick one.

Sure, and also he should do more Metallica like The Frayed Ends Of Sanity To Live Is To Die Eye of The Beholder Ride The Lightning The Call Of Ktulu Orion And also he should react to some videos from Seattle 1989

[@chriscalvert4625]

Probably one of the hardest songs to play on guitar

[@ryanbazail]

Chris Calvert tell me about it bro I have to do those spider warm ups before I play that song so I can be precise

[@chriscalvert4625]

Ryan Bazail even then it’s still like wtf lol. Props to Dave for singing and playing that shit!

[@ryanbazail]

Chris Calvert I agree it's even difficult to play and sing at the same time even with an easy song so it's damn impressive

[@Nutty31313]

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.

[@kenchavez8785]

You think thats hard, try it on guitar hero 😂

[@wordswolvesKSC]

You have to Listen to Tornado Of Souls, it has the best Solo in Thrash metal history hands down. And i don't even listen to Megadeth that much.

I have some other Megadeth suggestions: -Tornado of Souls -Rust In Peace... Polaris -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.

You would suggest the most mainstream songs how about “Liar” to top all of them.

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

Eric Rios You don't know anything about me... other than that I like Megadeth. How about Kill The King or Mechanix? Is that still too mainstream?

[@TheDemocrab]

That lyric "Ask the sheep for their beliefs, do you kill on God's command?" was directly inspired by Dave accidentally starting a brawl between the Catholics and Protestants because of one drunken comment during an Irish concert Megadeth played at.

[@thepotatoof4219]

Drunken comment, no surprise for Ireland.

[@weejockpoopongmacplop6726]

I'm just surprised the bands even went to northern ireland during the troubles. Dave's a good man though, he took the time to admit being a 'fool's and not understanding what he was talking about. When most americans would just chalk it up to 'FREE IRELAND LMAO' Then he wrote a killer track about it.

[@AustinGonder]

Please do “Tornado of Souls” by Megadeth

[@foodit3ms444]

berganssekk DUDE!!! HOW WAS IT??

[@ll7868]

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.

[@rja9996]

ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ I thought he was fired for being violent when drunk

[@MaueTime]

I mean alcohol can be classified as a drug if you want to be specific

[@rja9996]

Alexander Maue yeah but nobody thinks of alcohol when you say that something happened because of drugs

[@ll7868]

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.

[@jimmiefarley4831]

Anthony Rizzo There's happy drunks and there's mean drunks Dave was a mean drunk and they got sick of him end of story! Megadeth > Metallica

[@talcy]

[@WuqiiSaurus]

That´s awsome, unfortunately i was about 1 year when it took place but love that entire Live album to death.

[@brandonbailey3511]

Dude, Dave Mustaine is hands down one of the greatest metal guitarists to ever live. He writes riffs like no one else can, AND vocalizes while he plays (with riffs as complex as his, it's not an easy task). Dave really paved the way for a lot of metal musicians out there.

[@Magick.Mushroom]

i would put him 2nd to tony iommi

[@fabioriato]

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]

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.

[@borjalacosta8018]

[@Drivestort]

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]

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.

[@RafitoOoO]

We need to thank Lars everyday because of that. Now we have two all time great metal bands instead of one.

[@ronperreault8889]

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.

[@ronperreault8889]

[@scottkitchingman9884]

Real hip hop has absolutely nothing to do with beats and notes. It’s all about the message. People have forgotten about that because of the shitty music being put out today. Metal is just as garbage in 2018 as rap is. There is literally no good music anymore.

[@toddvandell85]

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.

Zacky Fox nah better cementary gates

[@megadeth8592]

Zacky Fox five magics is soooooo good

[@Gamaliel238]

five magics is their best song

[@savinotrevizo5785]

I met Dave backstage on the Euthanasia tour backstage and he was easy to talk to like a friend or neighbor. Dave embodies the never say die attitude in all of us.Truly his music , energy and self is embedded in the history of Metal.

[@PsychicViper]

That is the great thing about Megadeth, is that they start a lot of in depth discussions about politics and religion. Another band that does this very well is Fear Factory. You should definitely do a reaction of Replica or Fear Campaign by Fear Factory.

[@lefterisphasarias8934]

Fear Factory, damn. havent heard that name in years. still wasnt a fan though. edit: fan=/=fun

[@aaronhermes7644]

Fear factory is awesome

[@eldiego68]

Hangar 18

[@germancipres5774]

Cementery Gates by Pantera!!!!!!!

[@mohammadhosein5848]

symphony of destruction peace sells but whos buying both by megadeth u gotta listen bro

[@lexydabbs1597]

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

[@billyherring9987]

Thank you for doing all these reaction videos on Metal. It's nice to see an intelligent person open his mind for something different. Once again, thank you!

[@sls1035]

Tornado of Souls by Megadeth

[@metalmadsen]

Mustaine is a metal god !!!!!

[@mmbb14P1]

Wait until you see this song live.. it will change your life

[@Jkwanfit]

DREAM THEATER - PANIC ATTACK

[@alucardotrubbels6269]

YES!!! that's a rollercoaster ride in i'ts own right!!

[@JohnnyRockBand10]

YES

[@garrickallen4636]

MEGADETH rules and will always still the show. You should try a song by them call secret, or was it secret place.

[@sprchrged]

It’s nice to see a member of the younger generation reacting with an open mind to music I grew up with. Well done.

[@WesleyAPEX]

You gotta do Tornado of Souls

[@jack_rabbit]

or lucretia

[@GeoffVentures]

U finally did it !! Now it’s time for Megadeth - Hanger 18 😘

[@gamefxd3819]

Megadeth - Symphony of destruction

[@CoboProdz]

GamefXd gay

[@CoboProdz]

Hue G. Rection yep. That song has always been their "enter sandman " to me.

[@lyjaugs]

His neck is gonna hurt after that hahaha

[@ShgairoMayamo]

grayson schmidt yeah seriously, try in my darkest hour or something, I can think of fifty better megadeth songs.

[@victorfebres5825]

Amazing video bro!! Congratulations!! I recommend you to try Anthrax - Indians, is one of the most popular songs of Anthrax! Is considered one of the Big Four of Thrash Metal (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax)

[@paulo-figueiredo]

"Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" the best ever heavy metal song!

[@BlackrockLobbyist]

"i think his voice is amazing" thats interesting, most new megadeth listeners or holdouts ive met usually say something along the lines of "the musics pretty good but i just cant dig his voice". and i would say theres a pretty significant contingent (myself included) who love megadeth but are in the "jesus christ just hire a vocalist dave" camp.

[@Spyrofan35]

ForgedByFortitude when i started listening to megadeth i truly hated his voice but now I've come to appreciate it tbh

[@saintdarpa9818]

ForgedByFortitude i was a bit iffy on vocals just jumping in and playing the greatest hits album but after a while it just grows on you and makes sense. It would be literally changing megadeth too much to see it as megadeth imo

[@Thought0Ninja]

I didn't like his voice when I first heard them in the early to mid 90's but as the years went on I came to love Dave's voice. I can't say I'm a big fan of his later talk-singing though. "Hello me, meet the real me." You guys know what I'm talking about. Anyway when it comes to vocalists in general I kind of prefer weird and somewhat offputting vocal styles. 90's era Pumpkins Billy Corgan, Chino Moreno, Jeff Mangum, Trent Reznor, and Richard Patrick for example. Even though I love a shit ton of "normal" vocalists most of the too perfect and clean singers bore me for the most part. Examples are pretty much all pop music singers currently, the majority of "contestants" on shit like American Idol, and Britain's Got Talent plus other similar mass appeal garbage. Also autotune saturated trash.

[@vivir_en_ruedas]

I still don't like his voice...but makes me appreciate more James Hetfield's voice hahaha

[@RafitoOoO]

He's not an amazing singer but his voice is so great with their songs. Ofc they were written with his voice in mind but they are perfect together.

[@miguelrochefort]

Megadeth - Hangar 18 Judas Priest - Painkiller Pantera - Cowboys from Hell

[@mmaarrttyy123]

3 of the best metal songs ever

[@hraefn1821]

Sweating bullets and Motopsycho next from megadeth. You'll love em both~

[@TheUltimateNavigator1]

Pierce Nine Motophycho. Not so much, it is too poppy.

[@leeschofield488]

Yeah, bit of a strange choice given the sheer number of excellent songs Megadeth have...

[@JohnFleshman]

Pierce Nine Fuck yeah! Sweating Bullets!!!

[@Ozzy_2014]

Love motopsycho myself. I'm in a minority but there's great stuff on Risk and to me the Risk paid off nicely. Time , Insomnia etc very much worth listening to and judge for yourself if experiments with a base of your sound is worth it.

[@artfanatic6248]

Ive always liked Megadeth, and listened to them, what was so nice was seeing your reaction throwing out a bunch of hype, quite refreshing indeed! Thank you for the upload!!

[@jandrediedericks4799]

Architects - These Colors Don't Run :)

[@Robert-ns6bo]

GREAT REACTION MAN! Please do dystopia next!!

[@MetalMonkey]

Symphony of Destruction

[@spazimdam]

Incredible song, incredible playing, incredible energy. I think it's cool that Dave Mustaine plays the solo at the end- he and Marty are great guitarists!

[@domvalhalla7771]

Some Arch Enemy maybe? Or Manowar - Warriors of the world

[@SortenRavn]

Dom' Valhalla Or Blood of My Enemies, Sons of Odin, Hail and Kill, or such. But yea, Warriors of the world is an ok introduction song to Manowar..

[@domvalhalla7771]

SortenRavn I think the same bro!

[@vitozana8659]

MEGADETH is the best

[@grahamriley9001]

you had to that in did'nt ya

[@KreshDraven6]

Is this a dream ? XP Great reaction man ! Another amazing song by them (and my personal favorite) is Tornado of Souls. This song has the best solo EVER ! Please, react to Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun, this song will blow your mind !

[@lucifermorningstar4448]

Great reaction video Alex, I love how you instantly pick up on the nuances of the lyrics for such radically different music to what you’re used to listening to. If you’re looking to expand the Megadeath repertoire I can wholeheartedly recommend “Sweating Bullets” and “Symphony Of Destruction”. I love the energy and positivity you bring in your videos, there is not enough of this in the world and it’s refreshing to see. You seem to be a genuine, lovely guy and I appreciate you buddy.

[@dontworryaboutit1604]

Recact to anthrax so you have heard the big 4

[@dorothycho2467]

Celtic Warrior Yes! He should react to Caught In a Mosh. After hearing Anthrax, he's heard the thrash metal big 4, and he'll be one step closer to being a metalhead!

[@HaruAyanami]

Maybe some "Madhouse"?

[@andrewjsteltz]

Indians

[@mindfuct8862]

Celtic Warrior Belly of the Beast?

[@Andrew_White_Jr]

All variants great, my first song was Madhouse, but I would recommend Indians. Not only the music is mature but also the lyrics and the video itself). Though it’s a tough decision cause Anthrax is my favorite big 4 band (yes, we exist;))

[@mariofranco4773]

Metallica - Seek and Destroy or Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

[@lefterisphasarias8934]

+1 for Sanitarium, awesome song.

[@twinborn6028]

Yes! Don't forget metallics anesthsia pulling teeth live in chicago 1983. I commented last video but I really want this reaction and I am very excited for that video

[@obamaspaghettitoiletsauce9150]

TwinBorn i want to hear AM I EVIL or Enter sandman already

[@richierifenburg6475]

Amazing channel! I am so happy to have stumbled across this. Megadeth has a few tracks where an instrumental introduces the song. Try "Set The World Afire" and/or "My Last Words". Keep up the awesome reactions!

[@bradcolman7331]

Your community has been so kind to ours. Thankyou. Us metal heads should start reviewing some hip hop stuff... Just sayin...

[@tylercooper1551]

Brad Colman i know, right!? I've noticed so many react to metal channels popping up! Its awesome to see the younglings learning and feeling the excitement as we felt when first hearing these masterpieces so long ago

[@neoneherefrom5836]

You two are so naive and ignorant if you think these “hip-hop heads” are making these videos to be open-minded to metal. Lmao Reaction videos are literally the EASIEST way to garner views on a channel.

[@bradcolman7331]

NE One Here From And how does that effect either side in a negative way? I see that you hide your face, so that leads me to suspect that you are an expert... Self proclaimed to wake the rest of us.

[@bradcolman7331]

Go #wokeAF yourself, you goof.

[@neoneherefrom5836]

Dude... you’re way too old to be seduced by these reaction videos. They primarily cater to pre-pubescents whose identity is grounded by their musical tastes thereby giving them a psychological “win” whenever a “rival” concedes to their “side” having merit. I’m guessing this concept may be too hard for you to grasp so you can just go on thinking a guy making stink face and saying “bad ass” every two minutes means he sincerely likes your music.

[@calebturner405]

You have to do Motorhead now. It's a must do. You gotta hear the band that inspired metallica and was the reason James Hetfield kept his beard looking like Lemmy for almost a decade of their early days.

[@vincedunn9983]

"Early days"? What??? They had quite a few albums under their belt by the late 90's when they did that look. Already a HUGE band world wide.

[@niveditasharma6839]

Please REACT to IRON MAIDEN THE TROOPER🎸🤘🏻

[@burnttoste7581]

PREDATOR X iron maiden iron maiden

[@MotoXjunk]

Nick Menza so underappreciated

[@joer8854]

Was, RIP.

[@johnswanson787]

Devildriver - Clouds Over California!!!

[@slovak4life1991]

Best way that I’ve ever heard this song described is that it’s a love story between a man and his guitar.

[@clemnutz0748]

Countdown to extinction is a great song by megadeth too

[@carahdawn8015]

Loved this reaction! The song really does leave you speechless the first time. Megadeth was my favorite childhood band. I like that you did research on the song ahead of time too.

[@panmetlhet7421]

React to Arch Enemy or some more Metallica

[@summonliiva5673]

The Immortal - Arch Enemy is a must!!!

[@mmr201]

React to "Symphony Of Destruction - Megadeth"

[@Maideneer]

Soilwork - Father and Son, Watching the World Go Down

[@LuluTheSpork]

Dude, I absolutely LOVE your reaction videos! Not only are your expressions priceless, but I love the opinions you gather from the songs/videos you watch. Also, your enthusiasm is so genuine and and endearing! Lastly (but definitely not least), the little clips that you edit in are HILARIOUS!! Please keep making videos and spreading your awesomeness. 💓💓
