its a lot easier to appreciate Megadeth if you're a guitarist. Their music is very technical from an instrumental standpoint, Mustaine is a guitar genius!!

[@anthonygajewski1464]

well said

[@redfender5814]

Mustaine has an ability to tell a story and conjure emotions just with a guitar... it’s something I’ve never heard reproduced. I honestly believe if it weren’t for Dave we’d have no Metallica

[@nicholasdamjanovich4686]

Marty Friedman was a huge force in Megadeth when it comes to a lot of the crazy solos for a large chunk of his stint in the band

[@shernigz]

Mustaine, is a very underrated guitarist

[@B2Sr]

Im a metal singer and You are spot on. WITHOUT them Im in a world of shit!

[@petrilampela]

This is the only rock song I know where none of it's riffs or melodies get repeated elsewhere in the track after they've been played through. No verses and no choruses, every time there's a change in the song it's a totally new section. And somehow it works beautifully.

[@billmcmahon5454]

That's an excellent description of this masterpiece.

[@jhamilton1007]

Holy Wars???

[@deaconj3406]

@@jhamilton1007 Holy Wars starts and ends the exact same.

[@MySpartans11]

@@jhamilton1007 yep and there are others as well. Mustaine is quite the song writer

[@justdave9610]

Vortex by Jinjer is like that too

[@annaoswald5943]

I was waiting for it to happen, than at (5:15) Lex smiled, and for about 45 sec. went to a place only metalheads know about.

[@thing12games44]

It was great watching her just teleport away caught up on that sick riff.

[@Mikeisoutside]

This whole album was one of the best thrash albums ever

[@chaospoet]

The last time I saw Megadeth a few years ago this was the opener. Everyone's head just banged in unison during that end section of the song. It was awesome!

[@annaoswald5943]

Fans of Megadeth and this album, in case you missed it, Brad and Lex reacted to The Conjuring about a week ago. The only thing stopping the Lex train was Brad having to pause.

[@travisnoffsinger1703]

I could honestly listen to Lex describe music for hours. She has a very interesting and unique way of interpreting songs and I love to hear her perspectives and takes on little things. She’s super intuitive. Amazing really. And her enthusiasm and spirit is contagious and always fun. Great reaction as always. 👍🏻

[@lyleb.5614]

Good mourning/Black Friday please. Brad will like the lyrics in that one lol

[@phantomlord5707]

^

[@claytonsorensen1596]

Just like Picasso used canvas, Megadeth paints their pictures with their guitar playing…some of the best guitar work ever.

[@tonyjames9016]

Holy S! This takes me back. This whole album is hard as hell. Get some! Thank you.

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

I had this on cassette in the late 1980s without lyrics and I thought it was about waking up with a hangover lol

[@metalmark1214]

It's about a guy who is cheating and is sneaking in hoping he wont be killed in his sleep.

[@imadbasayev8541]

Ya think?

[@Hilariumosis]

This song is what offically got me into heavy metal!

[@mwv7328]

Y'all explained this video to perfection. Love this reaction.

[@andrewbaldwin9796]

'The Conjuring' video was the other day, 'Wake Up Dead' today, I'm guessing 'Peace Sells' could(should) be next🤘🤘🤘

[@AndrewTheFrank]

To me this song always felt like a boss fight music and the boss is the wife.

[@KetoFitChef]

This song is about Dave Mustaine when he was living with a girl he didn’t want to be with anymore, but only stayed with her because he didn’t have another place to live and was dating a girl he liked on the side. So he was out with her, not his boys. That was his “cover story” You really need to react next to: Mary Jane (for the awesome composition) And Liar (for the aggression and shock value)!

[@tazzmachazz1355]

Diana!

[@BrettonFerguson]

Yes he said he was out with the boys. But don't react to Liar. They have much better songs IMO. It is fast though.

[@KetoFitChef]

@@BrettonFerguson don’t react to Liar?? That song is amazing!

[@BrettonFerguson]

@@KetoFitChef Yeah but I think they have better songs. I'd put liar lower on the list. Musically Liar is good, but the lyrics are kind of... they could be better. This is my opinion. I used to really like it, after 35 years of listening to Megadeth I'm thinking it's not their best song.

[@KetoFitChef]

@@BrettonFerguson you’re right. Everyone’s got their different favorites. To this day, it’s still in my Top 15. It’s fast and fun. It’s fine with me that others don’t like it, but it’s one that people new to Megadeth really should hear as far as I’m concerned.

[@YaHKaB_WaRYaL_YaSHaRaL]

THIS WHOLE ALBUM THRASHES! EVERY SONG!

[@skrumpknuckle]

god I love this album!

[@PriestessOfNothing]

I've seen Megadeth live at least 10 times in my life and this song never gets old! I'd like to see your reaction to their songs "Hook In Mouth", or "Trust", "Lucretia", "Peace Sells But Who's Buying", or "Holy Wars"

[@homer9k655]

My Last Words. That song is so freakin good!

[@sinisterkate5308]

this song was first then the conjuring followed by peace sells. which was the song that got airplay. the bass intro to peace sells was used everyday on MTV back in the 80's and nobody knew who it was; it is funny to watch when they realize after hearing peace sells that they had heard the intro several times for it was used several times a day everyday....

[@Tbanyas1]

I love that at the third bar of the riff she begins to smile. 🤘🏼😊

[@gluek333]

this is why mustaine benifited from being fired from metallica. it had to be

[@tomkat4480]

I'd so buy these 2 folks tickets to a metal show 😂😂

[@Acebets70]

My fav metal song! Great pick!!

[@TheRustyGuitarist]

Oh, you guys already reacted to this one!! Awesome!! You need to checkout My Last Words, also from this album!!

[@dswp4882]

Dave Mustaine is unmatched in his original guitar riff, leads and overall style in those days---- the band's style in this album was orbiting thrash jazz because of Gar Samuelson (drummer) R.I.P. 1999 - Brad and Lex, keep on the Megadeth Peace Sells album- it's the most furious metal album of all time, next to Metallica's Puppets album, even though they are 2 uniquely styled albums and should never be compared that way. Cheers from Southern Ontario, Canada... Metal soothes the savage soul...

[@heavysoul4862]

And Chris Poland's solos were very jazzy as well. He and Alex Skolnick are my favorites from this era.

[@killerbong]

The whole album is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@VictorHernandez-dd5ls]

Yes! I have been trying to get someone to react to this song! It is my favorite by Megadeth!!

[@ambergreen3902]

Sweating Bullets is my all time favorite Megadeath song! I would like to see you guys react to that one!

[@cgf7973]

In my darkest hour or good mourning/black friday are both great megadeth songs as well check em out

[@jerrykeck1494]

Was the first Megadeth song I heard MEGA DAVE😈🤘 so many favorites

[@nerocaesar8301]

Best headbanging song ever!!

[@SilverSuress]

I subscribed just because she knows Metal like all Metal Heads!! She gets it!!

[@chorizo108]

The riffs on that song are epic🤟🏼 its heavy jazz

[@reverandbigshow8171]

This is the super genius that happens when Metal artists are mixed with Jazz musicians!

[@firestarterxox69]

Hey - Brad. I catch a lot of your guy's live streams and I must say... for whatever reason... your live reactions are waaay better than what is portrayed in these KZbin videos not live. The people who miss out on the streams miss out on your personality man. You are definitely a character, and the duo here feels powerful. Keep up the good work my man.

[@ericbeaudry9505]

Girl I love you're analysis

[@donlesley1873]

Yoooooo I haven’t listened to md in forever lmao guitar solos were super big back then and yeah the point of it was to give an idea of what was happening through the music rather than lyrics

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

I liked Lexs "They do this cyclone thing" I thought that was really cool never thought about that before even considering the Meg have got a track called 🌪Tornado Of Souls🌪

[@MetalHeadforChrist]

u guys gotta remember songs r also made for the mosh Pitt too! for some of the long musical parts, not made for just kicking back on the couch and listening to necessarily . Cool reaction !

[@buclao5432]

Wake Up Dead definitely my favorite song by MEGADETH 🤘🤘

[@robinschulze934]

One of my favorites!!!!!

[@1PotatoeMasher1]

I love the music video for this one it adds to the vibe.

Tune! Sylosis guys!

[@jacal8428]

Heard that one in person. After Holy Wars record. Faster too.

[@whitelikejesus]

He *said* he was out with the boys. I don't think he was. :) Anyway, I love that song because it throws away traditional verses/lyrics/song structure and just throws awesome riffs and guitar solos at you in whatever way Megadeth wants.

[@romaricliegeois4796]

My last words - Megadeth is a good one The sleep - Pantera you should react too 🤙

[@creedence3081]

@Brad & Lex I'm surprised you both haven't done a reaction to So Far, So Good...So What! Album!

[@dougthePogingguitarist]

just wondering do you take any requests for songs to react to

[@TheRickbeni82]

Do Megadeth “Hook in mouth”. Great song for Brad to analyze.

[@livinnash7693]

That smile is so infectious😏

[@yeahboiii6640]

YES! My all time favorite song by MeGaDeTh! Edit: Lex it is ok to just straight up head bang on this banger.

[@willywood2785]

One of the best Megadeth songs written.

[@superfunkmonker]

In my darkest hour for a deep song. Rattlehead for a kickass song

[@jordanrhodes929]

Yessss bring on the Megadeth, Sabbath, and Slayer loo

[@GG-iu6xd]

Black Friday is must... one of their best songs...

[@spikenelson6669]

do good mourning black friday or my last words off this album...classic. Ive kept a copy of this album since 86 when i was 9. First metal i ever heard...warped me for life..im now 44..lol

[@BaldotheDon]

Yeah, at 3:07 Lex says it's a remaster, 'cause I remember this song sounding a lot different. The original was slathered in reverb, and this version's got a lot more bottom support, and it's just generally tighter. More focussed, actually. I like it. And all the 'repetition' Lex was commenting on at 4:36 is there for the moshers and the drivers. When the pit gets into a good whirl, you want it to last a bit more, and when it's night on the freeway, a few extra bars of what I'll call the _good part_ helps justify pinning the pedal down another half mile or so. _Peace Sells_ is my favorite Megadeth song ever, but this is a hair's breadth second.

[@alexrodriguez2100]

Listen to peace sells🙏🏻 definitely feel like both of you would love it🤘🏼

[@chaoticneutral3487]

Damn, that takes me back.

[@PastorOfMuppets74]

That Logo takes me back. Had the Misfits inked on my left bicep years n years ago. When I saw Cliff Burton wearing Misfit tees, I nearly died. My hero loving the same music I thought nobody at the time had heard of lol

[@StoicBehavioR]

Peace Sell was more Jazzy than the rest of there albums. Which I found myself gravitating towards more than the rest of their albums.

The Rude Awakening version!

Bad Omen is never paid attention to. Such an amazing song!

Megadeth She Wolf live next! Rude Awakening

Best Megadeth song imo. Most Metallicaish signature changes, the vid of the kids breaking down the chain link is classic! My fav Deth tune!

[@randyreynolds4252]

when the guitars sound like marching armies or animals it is not a solo and is good to pause, those are rhythm sections. when the guitars sound like screeching birds or screams then those are solo's and never pause. hope this clears things up
