This is the heart of metal. One of the most popular Megadeth songs.

[@Double44inthemorning]

I'd say heart of thrash metal. Not the heart of all metal. That should be like Black Sabbath, or Metallica, or Gojira.

[@KenBober]

This is the song that made me a metalhead. I only bought the cassette back in 91 because the cover looked cool. Not a single thrash album could top this album for me.

[@willl676]

Nick Menza beating the crap out of that drum set like it owed him money will always be one of my favorite things about this music video.

RIP Nick! The best lineup.

Nick and Charlie Benante were the two guys who made me want to play drums. He was great. My favorite 'Deth lineup.

You're not wrong. My 15yo son finally started taking notice of it about 6months ago and since has been on a whole album in 1 sitting binge most nights this last 2 weeks at bed time he tells me the other day. Its just never gets old.

[@chrisking6667]

[@garryaldridge7325]

@@chrisking6667 for sure,you cant compare Metalle with megadeth they are so different ,i like them both

[@leftinashes]

This album right here... in many metal circles, is arguably one of the greatest albums to ever be recorded.

[@Covenantt666]

The first part of the song is Holy wars, naturally about religion and war. The second part is The Punishment Due, literally about Marvel's the Punisher.

[@jasperlit1345]

That last line seems to get more and more relevant the older this song gets.

[@travisnoffsinger1703]

“The next thing you know… they’ll take my thoughts away.” Man… Dave was a freaking prophet.

[@yearginclarke]

"A country that's divided surely will not stand" Sounds mighty applicable to what we've had going on in the states for a good many years now. Much more so now than how it used to be.

This is my first time hearing these guys although I first heard of them years ago. I grew up in a Gospel, Jazz and R&B household and this kicks serious butt! I love it.

[@jeffradiop1077]

A metal masterpiece! The tempo changes are amazing! Megadeth is the only thrash band that never sold out and have a unique heaviness and intelligence about them.

[@CC_Marauder]

Dave Mustain is a metal god and a favored son of Orange County, CA (HB). 🤘🏻

[@edmcbain71]

When did Slayer sell out?

[@anthonybotonis5841]

great bands but METALLICA IS THE GOAT METAL BAND and if there was any bands to argue that it would only Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden... I'm a huge Anthrax and slayer fan and can still acknowledge this

[@scottblinn553]

This is the pinnacle of thrash metal!! This whole album is a guitar clinic! Literally the absolute razor sharp edge of thrash metal.

[@goosefukulardeath7300]

people who typically aren’t attuned to the genre of heavy metal usually need to take a double take at megadeth songs. I thinks it’s because Megadeth really was a project that was built on necessity . Mustaine utilized the very best of his band members and wrote songs that made them shine on the record. People call it egoism , I call it being a composer

[@drjag1155]

The best album of all times ! And this song is fantastic 🤘

[@Incab]

Truth

[@machcrs]

I simply love this. The best part is that Dave basically plays lead riffs while singing. Not many lead singers do that so that earns my respect.

[@bobmalon7244]

One of my fav metal solos of all time. Mustaine is a BEAST!

[@lokihammerfall7781]

Truly a masterpiece. Megadeth - Tornado of Souls is another masterpiece from the same album which also will blow your minds.!!

[@deceiver444]

The solo on Tornado is a masterclass both from a technical and musical standpoint. Not only is the song incredibly well written but the solo's construction is equally as masterfully put together and performed with superior class.

[@AlexHernandez-oi5dd]

No way dude. That song has a great guitar solo but it also has the worst vocals on the album. I love Rust in Peace but tornado of souls is an instant skip because of how bad the vocals are on that song.

[@caprisunaquarium]

Their best song imo

[@Minty.Fresh.Tunes.]

@@AlexHernandez-oi5dd The chorus is a little cringy these days.. in the eye of the tornado and all... oh well.

[@theaiden5285]

No tracks get skipped on this album. Fantastic from start to finish

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

The best of the ‘91 Shirtless Lineup.😄💪🏻🤘🏻

[@RiffMajestic]

Friedman's solos are exotic, finesse, technically excellent and precise. Mustaine's is more street, rough, but killer. The fact he plays those complex riffs while singing has always blown me away. This song will always be one of the all time great metal classics!

[@bruno3778]

The name of the song is Holy Ways-The Punishment Due and it’s basically two songs in one. The first part of the song: Holy Wars is pretty self-explanatory, but the 2nd part of the song (The Punishment Due) is about Marvel’s character, The Punisher. If you listen to the lyrics in the second half is the song, you will see a story being told from the Punisher’s perspective.

[@drakensberg.multimedia]

I saw them three weeks ago in Saskatoon with a packed stadium and Dave still kicks ass!🤘🏼🇨🇦

[@4everhealthwellness344]

I just discovered your guys channel, I'm a metal head and a bodybuilder, 2 things that go great together IMO😊

[@inkoinfinity2]

I'm glad the music video kept the full instrumental intro, also i wonder if their hair every gets in the way of them playing guitar lol

[@Mad9977]

that was their best line-up, best song and best album, absolutely amazing

[@seandobson6221]

You guys gotta understand that in the 80s and 90s metal songs had long intros to get you rolling then drop the lyrics on you after you’ve already invested into the song!

[@timjames9963]

One of the greatest metal songs of all time, hands down. A song of several different parts that blend together brilliantly, both musically and lyrically. Megadeth's magnum opus.

[@petergriffen4361]

The lead singer/ guitarist Dave Mustang was in Metallica in the early days and wrote some music for Metallicas first album. He was kicked out and started Megadeath. You should check out Black Sabbath the grandfather's of metal, and I would also recommend Pantera

[@3dartstudio007]

The poster child for "thrash" is Exodus the Toxic Waltz. Bands like DRI and Nuclear Assault had the entire "thrash metal" genre on lock down in the 80's. Megadeth does have some thrash songs though, glad to see your reaction, rock on!

[@toddfarrow9541]

RIP Nick Menza on drums. I met him in Tokyo randomly, he was a great dude.

Dave was into skydiving. You saw him in the video jumping. He wrote a song called high speed dirt about it too.

"BECAUSE I DON'T SAY IT,...DON'T MEAN I AIN'T THINKING IT!!!" words that have stuck with me throughout my life!!!

You should check out... Megadeth - She Wolf - Live - Rude Awakening

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

She Wolf, so underrated. It's like the quintessential early, NWOBHM-influenced thrash metal, even though it was made in the late 90's

[@CC_Marauder]

Every Megadeath fan owes it to themselves to see their live performance of Symphony of Destruction in Argentina. The venue was mad and the band was straight fire feeding off of the fuel from the audience.

[@squarespongespider5656]

It's funny we have to go back in time 30+ years to find "next level". I used to play this song with my band back when this song originally came out.

And this is why the youth of today is so sensitive, music has gotten less aggressive. This helps you get it out of your system and deal with the modern world. At least for me anyway.

Nice to see the curtain on what people THINK is metal, is being slowly pulled back. Those in the dark only see the big angry wizard and although there isn’t a meek old man behind the curtain, the perception is nevertheless changing. Thank you internet. Thank you KZbin. Thank you Metal Gods!

[@mikeroberts3230]

This is the best lineup in Megadeth history so Thrash. The song is about the fighting in Ireland and the IRA. There is a kinda funny video of how Dave came up with the song while on tour

[@theaiden5285]

There's something about the very end: "next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts awaaaaaay" ending after the music has stopped, that draws an emotional response from me. I don't know what it is or why, but something about that section of the song makes my breath catch.

[@laynesanders738]

Listening to you try to tell me what this song is about is making me laugh. This song is about a marvel comics character : "The Punisher." Holy Wars : The Punishment Due.

[@kenbuck4962]

hanger 18 came out in like 88. all megadeath's albulms mostly came out the same time as metallicas

[@YTLawnGnome]

If you like this I got two recommendations. Pantera and Iced Earth. I recommend with Pantera to start with Cowboys From Hell and Walk. With Iced Earth just listen to Travel In Stygian from the remaster album Days of Purgatory. The interlude will blow your mind.

[@MrDMF567]

God, Megadeth rule 😎 Insanely talented

[@metaltildeth6783]

Megadeth, one of the Big 4 of Thrash Metal. Formed in 1983. First album released early 1985. The album 'Holy Wars...' is off of is their 4th album, released in 1990. This album is Megadeth's most technical Thrash album and is considered by many among the top Thrash albums released. If you like solos, you need to check either 'Hangar 18' off this same album or 'WakeUp Dead'. DO NOT watch the original band video for 'Hangar 18' as the song was shortened for MTV. Both songs have minimum lyrics. 'Hangar 18' has 11 solos. 'WakeUp Dead is like a killer jam session. There are many great Megadeth songs. Their earlier albums are more high energy by not as refined at "Rust in Peace" Their later albums are heavy but with more 'radio friendly' metal that pure Thrash. Few of my favorites are 'Looking Down the Cross', 'Good Mourning/Black Friday, My Last Words, In My Darkest Hour and Take No Prisoner. You can't go wrong with any of those songs.
