🎵 Megadeth Tornado of Souls Reaction

[@Sir_AlexxTv]

One of the most epic guitar metal solo ..... gives me chills even after listening to this song 1000 times

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

Perfect solo

[@bradstephens2175]

Yep. Agreed

[@vkings512]

me too man... it's a masterpiece

[@kgrass976]

Was epic seeing it live!

[@voodoocustompickups2547]

Right up there with Hangar 18

[@RolandDeschain1]

The guitar solo is a perfect example of technique and emotion. It is rightly regarded as one of the greatest metal solos of all time.

[@ktgo4424]

This and Fade to Black are arguably metal's greatest solos.

[@symphonyinkart]

👌🏻

[@johnensch3494]

Marty Freidman is one of the best on the planet.

[@fsrsaa]

Rightfully so

[@fsrsaa]

@@ktgo4424 absolutely!👍👍

[@Coinmancer]

Megadeth solos are a whole other thing... so good, so melodic, exotic, and shred... its amazing how Dave sings at the same time he shreds these riffs

[@p1ls726]

Metal's prodigal son. He's without equal in this genre

[@Pops-km8xt]

At the time he was chemically altered. Speed, Meth, ect.

[@Coinmancer]

[@thammar1990]

[@Megadeth1921]

The song is about Dave’s toxic relationship with an ex. You two have some fun reactions. I think you need to get Lex a guitar and some lessons, her face always lights up at the solo

[@patmullen7597]

I second this. She already has the feel, now she just needs to learn how to get it out. I'll bet she could become a shredder with enough practice. Do it Brad. Get her an axe and some lessons. 🤘

[@jmwasp]

Everyone's face lights up during a Megadeth solo! lol

[@jubal238]

I disagree. I'm pretty sure it's about Dave's first attempt at kicking his drug habit, because at the time this album was released there was a commercial that was often broadcast on all the major TV networks for treatment that said "one call ends it all".

[@ФилипГеоргиев-ц5ж]

Yes, the toxic relationship with Diana. It was the moment that Mustaine decided to break up with her!

[@rabkebab1713]

I always took it as his relationship with the music industry

[@vinniedixon1140]

Lex, I've never seen a woman smile so much during reactions. You're definitely becoing a metalhead, only a matter of time until you're fully converted as once metal gets inside you it'll never leave.

[@nedprince4887]

Brad is the analytical one always looking for answers. But Lex...WOW! She is the "music theory" no matter which genre they react to and becoming a true rocker before our eyes. You guys are a blast!

[@PHILPOP2]

She's so Hot.

This was hands down the best lineup Megadeth ever had. RIP Nick...

[@nickchucky3173]

[@AV8-tur]

@@nickchucky3173 nah fam, this really was the best lineup. Marty was the one who bring it together.

[@nickchucky3173]

@@AV8-tur Friedman never played Chris Poland’s solos correctly, and he himself said they were intimidating. While Gar Samuelson was not inferior to Menza. Besides, as far as technique, the best guitar player was Chris Broderick.

[@AV8-tur]

@@nickchucky3173 yeah but I still think Marty Friedman is just overall a better shredder

[@nickchucky3173]

@@AV8-tur they’re both insanely good, but I see differences; not superiority. Especially considering their backgrounds. Concerning Broderick, he is just technically better and faster.

[@vinograd74]

Maybe one day you realize that this IS the best Megadeth song ever written by Dave. And perhaps one of the best metal songs ever overall.

[@kevinbrown5093]

Mustaine is a better composer, but Marty has him beat on leads

[@XMorbidReignX]

[@crazydale1000]

I used to play guitar in a heavy metal band.This one was my favorite song to play. It ain't easy.

[@rickydicky789]

There's just something about watching someone smile when listening to a song you love. Love your reactions!

[@jhamler1]

This song (this whole album, actually) is metallic magic. Probably the bestest thrash metal album ever recorded. After Rust in Peace, everyone probably wants you to do Peace Sells, but... My next favorite Megadeth album is "So far, so good... So what?" The song IN MY DARKEST HOUR, especially. Like Tornado of Souls, it's more melodic than most of their stuff but still kicks asses in the pants. Just saying.

[@chadwaters6218]

I agree. Slayer is my favorite band but this may be the greatest thrash album ever.

[@thammar1990]

Rust is definitely the best thrash album ever

[@p1ls726]

Greatest guitar solo in the history of metal and its not close. This is a god tier metal song

[@manunited1235]

Facts

[@pinkled4429]

Just like Dave said in Victory "Not even close"

[@andrewbaldwin9796]

'Rust in Peace... Polaris' is a very underrated Megadeth song, that would be a fun reaction for you guys🤘

[@philipdean1614]

One of my favorites

[@puppetmaster8551]

Such a fuckin good song

[@arfajob3312]

'Dawn Patrol' - would be funny to see their reactions.

[@chaospoet]

This album is just Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman showing off and I love it! Marty does his own solo project and it's unreal. I've seen Marty a few times and in the middle of his shows he'll just start soloing like a madman and then bust out the solo in the middle of this and people loose their minds. One of the best metal guitar solos ever.

[@chaospoet]

@Freddie Bloggs thing is even in Marty solo album where he plays a million notes a second none of them are wasted and serve a purpose. Kind of like Randy Rhodes back in the day. He might play a crazy solo but there's no wasted notes. Every note there has to be there. Even if it's a lot it's meaty with no fat.

[@penoyer79]

The guitar work on this song is just nuts. and not just the leads either.

[@Fran-hd7ft]

This song is about the tempo, the complex riffs, how dificult it is to sing and play it at the same time, also it has one of the most famous metal solos ever. Again megadeth is about the complexity of their songs. You need to hear it several times to appreciate all its beauty.

[@DanJackson1977]

"The story was told very theatrically" - Welcome to Heavy Metal land.

FIVE MAGICS BY MEGADETH NO REMASTER

[@crimsonwolf0428]

If you like Marty’s guitar work, you must check out Cacophony, a band he formed with Jason Becker (another genius guitarist). After only making two albums, Marty went on to join Megadeth and Jason went solo for a while before joining David Lee Roth”s band. He was diagnosed with ALS and eventually lost the ability to use his hands, legs and voice. Cacophony is some of Marty and Jason’s best work ever.

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

This album RUST IN PEACE is possibly the greatest metal guitar album in history. The guitar work is incredible.

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

The Metal is seeping into your souls. Once you acquire a thirst it can never be quenched. Love watching Metal start its magik. There is healing in metal. In Metal We Trust. Still need to react to "The Metal" by Tenacious D

[@lisavranesevic5754]

There were never any truer words than. "There is healing in metal". My Priest even listens to metal.

[@spencerific93]

Marty Friedman is one of my favorite metal guitar leads. He can shred your face off, but he does it with emotion and soul.

[@ericroache]

You will come to see, Dave Mustaine has a LOT of different voices! Lol.

[@bschuler6216]

I think this is my favorite Megadeth song. That solo by Marty Friedman is probably my favorite guitar solo.of all time.

[@shadowproductions969]

For thrash/metal it's between this and Cemetary Gates from Pantera and maybe . Rock in general I'd include Comfortably Numb

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

The riffs in this song is bad ass! I love this one also, from Rust In Peace! Every song off of Peace Sells, So Far So Good So What, & Rust In Peace...ALL IS THE SHIT! 🎸 🥁🤘🏼🇺🇸

[@detwingnut1]

Need to check out Megadeth, she wolf, live rude awaking tour.

[@adamhines9866]

This is my favourite Megadeth song, everything about it is great

[@william7108]

The song is like a fireball coming down a tunnel and it's gaining momentum and you're looking down the tunnel it's just going to devour you because all you saw was a little flicker until it came through the end of the tunnel and it was a size of a 50-foot Boulder flaming right in your face! LOL

[@adibabdullah6633]

[@kmvoss]

You know they probably aren't feeling it when they use Dave's vocals as a strong point of the song. LOL

I already know to go directly to the solo for this one. One of the best guitar solos of all time!

[@cloudedbyagonystoppinglies219]

Watching Lex get transported to another glorious dimension by metal is fantastic. She feels it in her core and it’s obvious her reactions are legit. I’d LOVE to see her react to some Trivium.

Been listening to Megadeth for 19 years now the solo on this song is phenomenal... marty friedman absolutely excelled himself with this and I will never tire of it 👌

Megadeth is one of my absolute favorite bands of all time. Dave Mustaine will remain as a metal legend for all time

[@abragdonjr1234]

Poison was the cure is a super slept on track from this album

[@arjunapartha]

Lex is all over the drummer’s funk kick patterns and Latin bell patterns (on the ride cymbal) AND ~ THE Halftime DROP (drummers choice again!) of the chorus…she noticed Marty’s pentatonic arpeggios (what he’s a legend for) When she says squeeze the juice.. or milk it….she’s talking about space…the lack of notes (minus half the beat) creates that falling feeling or release after all the build up (in all music but especially metal). Lex is a musical genius.

[@darrenobrey1995]

The led singer is also the lead guitarist. He was Matallica's lead in the early days before he got booted.

[@pattaccone]

Greatest solo ever ! Congratulations for listening to it Your ears must be happy

[@BrianKapellusch]

Ooooh, been waiting for this one. Def my favorite Megadeth song

[@trauma_junkies2145]

Think of this music this way...sometimes you want it to go all night and it to be "milked", and sometimes you just want a quickie.

[@AlexStavrosCan]

Epic guitar solo from Marty Friedmann 🔥🔥🤘🤘🥃🥃

[@domublub]

One of the best megadeth songs ever and probably the best solo ever made for a song. It just takes more listening to realize the level of awesomeness Megadeth had at the time. Anyway my favorite Megadeth song is still In my darkest hour.

[@Sayreul1976]

I will give so much to have the opportunity to discover such a masterpiece right now. But It did when I was 14.

[@mayordhanak5346]

Plz do 'She Wolf - Rude Awakening' live performance. One of the best live performances in recorded history plus the song/music is chilling every time!!

[@fsrsaa]

Good one he’s like now you tripping we can’t be changing things up!😂😂👍👍 Great review guys! It’d about Dave’s x

[@cgf7973]

Dave has always been the voice of megadeth its his band, his vocals are very polarising you either love them or hate them,. I think you would enjoy in my darkest hour or try good mourning/black friday

Welcome to the metal vibe yall this songs grows on you as someone that hear it in 1990 love yalls reactions keep it going.

Also my favorite thing is watching when the solos drop the upward curl in her lips as she can not contain the smile!!!

[@eylonemuskson4177]

I love these two because they seem like a fantastic couple: Brad is absorbing and thinking; Lex is reacting and dancing. Brad is the mind; and Lex is the soul. Yin and Yang.

[@NS1.]

I think yall would really like their song 'Diadems'.

[@ianjohnson171]

You are the first person in history to call a Megadeth guitar solo pretty

[@valtersdargis1287]

This is a song that you need to listen a lot of times and the moore you will listen to it the moore you will love it and understand!

[@jamespaul9097]

Dave Mustaine is the name of the singer he is also a guitarist trading lead riffs with, on this album Marty Friedman

[@SeanGTM]

Megadeth is known for writing rhythm guitar parts that are as complex and difficult as other bands' solos.

[@johnensch3494]

Dave Mustane is a musical genius.

[@tonysoto8949]

The song is about an ex who he needed at a time when Cliff Burton had died and he resorted to drugs to cope with their toxic relationship and the tragic death of his former band mate. This song is amazing and Marty Friedman absolutely killed it on those solos. This is the one song I can admit that Dave’s vocals we’re not up to par, not his fault I’m sure someone wanted him to change his voice to match the song.

[@pinkled4429]

Nah that's In my darkest hour

[@MrJctii916]

Marty Friedman was the lead guitarist for this album, never met a note he couldn't bend and I think has the longest pinky finger in the world

[@TheRustyGuitarist]

Love this song!! Maybe my favorite Megadeth song ever!! This guitar solo by Marty Friedman is widely considered to be one of the greatest Metal Guitar Solos ever!!!

[@mattw4461]

One thing I noticed about people who are listening to metal for the first time is that they try to "swing" to it like they would do to dance music. Which often leaves them feeling awkward or disconnected because of all the time changes, fast tempos, transitions ect ect. This isn't dance music, this is HEADBANGING music. Instead of weaving your head left to right, try moving your heads up and down with the grooves. Especially with the faster tempos. This might help with connecting with this kind of music.

[@romanduran4829]

Love that solo

[@54321938]

you need to watch this LIVE FOR REAL

[@yeahboiii6640]

I will keep saying this over and over and over - Wake Up Dead!!! If you like nice beats, tempo changes, solos and a pure metal sounding banger that is the one!

[@michaelmcdermott209]

I love me some Megadeth, I have seen them several times and they always put on a great show. I got to meet them in the 90's because their drummer was my buddy from Detroit. Questionable humans but amazing artist's.

[@The_Kiosk]

I love the riff. To my mind the shape of the blues scale is wider at the top than at the bottom, sort of a wedge or tornado shape. The riff is whirly in a playing sense, it feels circular. That always got me about this song. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but Dave Mustaine has been accused of writing music for the musician, which is music that other musicians may find contains in-jokes like a whirly blues riff on a song called tornado of souls. And because of the lore about selling your soul to be able to play blues guitar.🤔🤣

[@buyosalazar1000]

One of the greatest guitar solo....

[@kevinbrown5093]

Th solo on Holy Wars does it for me......

[@annaoswald5943]

Metalhead Lex fans out there, if you want to see her nearly lose it, check out Megadeth's The Conjuring reaction . The only thing stopping the Lex train was Brad having to pause.

[@lisavranesevic5754]

Thanks! I was just thinking of which reaction was the best to send to a friend

[@richmiddlebrook3103]

For me, this song is about someone in power (like the President) making the call to end it all; launching ICBMs; mutually assured destruction. "Not for the power, just no more games" referring to world powers and their war games. (S)he's done with the games. The tempo changes throughout represent the changes in heart rate as you make that decision, realize you made that decision, and then the anxiety of knowing the end is near, and finally the "peace" of knowing it'll finally be all over any second.

[@dingusbro925]

Thank goodness you didn’t do the live version, i was so scared that you might do a live version as a 1st reaction, i see so many reactors doing the live versions for 1st reactions, i absolutely hate when they react to Slayer-Raining Blood (live on Jimmy Fallon 2017 🤦🏻‍♂️)

[@Rendclaw]

or the remastered version for that matter.

[@vinniedixon1140]

Lex, seeing as you like guitar solos I think the time has come for you to watch the GOAT, Eddie Van Halen Eruption solo from Live Without A Net. You'll definitely smile & also be asking while watching "How is he doing that?" This solo is a must watch & afterwards you will be gobsmacked. So do it Lex, do it.

[@stephenlackey5852]

You guys are so much fun

[@subinshakya9877]

Lex actually defined the song exactly as it is. It IS their one of the thrashy song, it just has so much pace that it doesn't give any rest in between. I can understand that she is not used to this type of song and what she wants to hear is a bit more melodical parts in the songs rather than a full on assault. But this song is one of their if not one of the most popular songs and has the critically acclaimed best metal solo. Thanks for the reactions. \m/

[@bryanmassie693]

Yet another great video, keep it up CeeGee !!!!

[@paulbooth8516]

The eye- safe. But to get on the other side. You have to go through the chaos that surrounds you. Whilst not getting caught in the turbulence, but push through the other side.

[@Random7628]

Being in the eye of the tornado is when Megadeth started getting popular and it gave Dave the strength to end a toxic relationship where he was basically being manipulated and controlled. Success made it possible for him to finally break free, not for the money, not for the fame, for the power, just no more games. The words in the lyrics are sometimes from him, and other times from the woman.

[@Joshua_Froschauer]

The more I listen to and study Megadeth, the more amazed I am by them and their eye/ear for what a song should entail, then that song in conjunction with the other songs on the album while not having to be a concept album...the sonic story that that 50 minutes spent in attendence to Megadeth's offering in artistry, creativity, heavy, agressive, abrasive, speed, and song structuring bringing together that punk angst and metal sensibities...perfectly realized on almost every if not every track will not be 50 minutes spent wasted away... And this song, Tornado of Souls, specifically, is peak performance by a peak metal band!!! Metal Gods by Judas Priest might have had Dave Mustaine et al in mind during its creation!!! Horns fucking up!!! 🤘🤘🤘
