Hey I am in my 30s and a bassist, and I love megadeth. Mustaine is very talented and they have crazy good guitar work.

Im glad you finally got to interview Rob Scallon.

I'm not even a Megadeth fan, yet hearing you say Holy Wars is a 10/10 somehow feels like a small victory.

[@ippotsk]

I'm a surface-level listener of both Metallica and Megadeth, and it's true what Jared said; Metallica's hits are more anthemic and really get you pumped, while Megadeth's hits leave you more in awe of the musicianship. If you told me to pit Holy Wars against One, I don't think I'd be able to choose lol.

[@CIRCLEOFTONE]

Jared vs Stevie epic beach djent battle is unironically one of the best things to come out of the Djent scene. I also wonder how the hell Stevie survived that shoot, throwing sik shapes with a 30 pound guitar.

[@RockFeed]

Awesome episode! Jared rules 🤘🔥

[@tickandslug]

I have been watching jared for almost ten years now and he always seemed like a really genuine guy. I love his channel with austin dickey because its so funny, and after all these years they finally chose a consistent upload schedule for the dickey dines channel.

[@Kuba16BVB]

If you think about it, Jared is a "Metal KZbin" Legend. Great to see how far he got in the last years. I'm really happy for him. Love his content ❤️

[@jsk8et]

Megadeath has that guitar/musicianship angle for sure. It’s also a band born if pure spite, and that draws a certain type of person in. I think Megadeth and Metallica both have “lore” in a way that makes stanning for them feel important to some people. “Dave got screwed by those hypocrites” or “Cliff was the best” or other things. That kind of controversy and vitriol and debauchery, especially in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, is akin the a story about Greek gods, or at least it seems to scratch that kind of itch for a fair number of people.

[@pulp735]

Yeah the rock and roll story of the birth of Megadeth is too cool to ignore. A band formed almost soley for the purpose of revenge whose leader was kicked out of a band nicknamed "Alcoholica" for drinking too much!? The mind can't help but wonder what that guys band must sound like? Plus, he talks loads of crap about how much better he is than Metallica in terms of his musicial skill...can he possibly back it up? Once you listen to Megadeth though it's very apparent that he actually can! Perfectly scripted rock and roll lore that has a large amount of truth to it!

[@ggcade8896]

Megadeth has been my favorite band for 30 years. Why? The insane musicianship yes, but also very simply they have way more songs I like than any other band I’ve ever heard. RIP is my favorite album of all time.

[@sirundying]

mine is so far so good so what. if you dig musicianship without too much screaming try the band erra.

[@ggcade8896]

@@sirundying I love SFSGSW. It’s very underrated. But I can’t say the songwriting and composition on it are as strong as Peace Sells, RIP, or Countdown albums. That said, it’s fun as hell, has a few of my favorite songs by them, and has my favorite set of vocals from Mustaine as well 👍

[@EclecticDivergent]

Did he say … “Stonegarden” ? 🤔

[@an_38kitkashyap]

We like Megadeth because it's one of those bands that is very technical and yet, they were able to go mainstream.

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

Bob Rock is the shit. yall are spot on with The Black Album having incredible production. it's so clean but so chaotic at the same time. that album just sounds POWERFUL.

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

I still love Megadeth still.. although I'm more of a Technical Death Metal, Progressive Metal and Black Metal.. I have a Megadeth rust in peace patch on my black battle vest.. amongst Death Metal, Progressive Metal, Black Metal, and Metalcore/Deathcore patches on my vest. Megadeth's previous album was (sic).

I would love to see an interview with David Benites of Extreme Vocal Institute!! Working with everyone from Motionless in White, to Atreyu, to Fit For a King (and so many others) as a vocal coach, running his own online academy for aspiring vocalists (for over a decade) and fronting his own project (RENESANS). I would love to hear his origin story and how he got where he is today!!

[@TranzparentMethods]

Finn, this might be the best interview you ever did! And that's saying a lot. Jared seems like a really cool down to earth dude, and it was interesting with him talking about how lockdown made us all depressed and kind of anti-social.

Finn, you work with Joel Wanasek?! That's awesome - a name I haven't heard since the 56K modem days. He was the first internet guitar hero I found and followed, long before KZbin. I used to slave over trying to learn his song "Fortress of the Titans"

Rust in Peace is a freaking masterpiece. Every single song.

Megadeth rules. Peace Sells is an incredible album. Guitarists don’t love megadeth for Dave, we love Megadeth for the incredible lead players that have performed with megadeth through the years.

Van Halen and Van Hagar in my mind: Van Halen with Roth was a performance band who recorded some albums. Van Halen with Sammy was an album band who also performed. I prefer the Roth years because I like the wildness over the more producery Van Hagar sound, but I like both.

[@pulp735]

Megadeth crushes! They were the first real "technical" metal band that was known for next level chops in the thrash era in my opinion. Most guitar obsessed metal heads will cite Megadeth as a big influence and with good reason. Megadeth's best material still stands heads and shoulders above most music today in terms of its complexity, intensity, power, and musical skill level. Prime era Megadeth is still the platinum standard for metal bands who are looking for the perfect blend of intensity, attitude and musicianship that most bands strive for but never actually execute.

Finn, you should make a video on Van Halen. Their early years as a back yard party band is fascinating. The hiring of David Lee Roth, the band's name change to Van Halen and transition to the Sun Set Strip that got them there first record deal. Their No Brown M&M clause. The lead singer changes. Eddie driving a Tank to Fred Durst's house, and his battle with cancer and death. Van Halen have a fascinating history and it should give you some views as well as some new viewers. I say this, because I was never really into Van Halen. I like a few songs, but I never was a big fan. But the bands story is fascinating, and I think it would be a big hit for you.

[@LORDFARQUADZILLA]

I agree. It would be a great video. I was never big into Van Halen either, but they do have a very interesting history and obviously EVH is one of the all time greats.

How much did it cost to record in that really nice studio? Iv never been in a legit studio as i always have been a DIY'er for everything including learning how to swap pickups with a wire diagram that clearly didn't match what i was looking at but i managed. Seymour Duncan invader pickups incase you were wondering the wife got me a pair for Christmas and after a 12 pack i played hell soldering them into my schecter omen extreme 6 string.

[@InsaneShay]

If 2004 remixes are avoided, Megadeth can be quite beautiful. When I was 12 I heard Tornado of Souls for the first time. I thought Dave's voice was extremely annoying before hearing that song. It's like his voice was made for that 1. Altho my taste has changed lots since then. Certain megadeth songs will always be special to me

[@artOVtrolling]

Metallica and Megadeth are thrash metal on the melodic/iron maiden-esque side of the spectrum and Anthrax and Slayer are thrash metal on the punk hardcore side of the spectrum. I’d totally peg Finn as an Anthrax guy.
