Original Video:
• Megadeth - Holy Wars.....
For the first time on the channel, we are checking out Megadeth with their song "Holy Wars." This tune was an absolute banger and their level of musicianship was top notch! The song had various tempo changes and I loved the syncopated runs they were doing throughout the tune! I can't wait to hear more from them in the near future! Hope you enjoy! #reaction #megadeth #megadethfans #holywars #davemustaine #metalmusic #musicreactions

Welcome to the MEGADETH rabbit hole! Been in it since 86...can't find my way out. Don't want to either. MEGADAVE 4 life here. Nice reaction 💥☠️💥...☘️🇺🇲

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! Yeah this tune was killer and I can’t wait to hear more! Such a talented band! 🤘🏻

[@markhughes9091]

You really need to check out tornado of souls... Megadeth

[@setonhillstudios]

Appreciate the suggestion and thanks for watching!

[@andreasilva8210]

Megadeth is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

ABSOLUTE FIRE!!! 🤘🤘 I'm here for the 80s metal scene. I never really got into these guys back then, (don't know why), but the older I get the more I'm getting into them. Looking forward to the journey together!! (I'm trying to grow my hair back like I had in the 80s but for some strange reason, it's not going as well as I hoped. )

[@paulocarvalho6480]

Yep, me too brother. I think it has something to do with getting old. 😂 Maybe we're getting a more refined taste.

[@setonhillstudios]

Haha 🤣 That’s alright! You see how I handle the hair situation! 😂 Glad you enjoyed it!

She Wolf live is a banger

[@setonhillstudios]

Appreciate the suggestion!

[@1otherside]

Holy Wars is obviously about war and religious conflict, Dave got the inspiration to this song when they played in Northern Ireland and there were people ripping off Megadeth t-shirts to raise money "for the cause"... then when the band was playing, Dave was drunk/high and dedicated a song to "the cause" and said "give Ireland back to the irish", next thing he knows: a riot broke out and Megadeth needed to travel in a bulletproof bus. The slower half-tempo section in the middle "...The Punishment Due" is about The Punisher from comic books, but the comic's story kind of matches the religious conflict theme. Check out anything by Megadeth, really, but avoid listening to 2004 remasters and go for original versions, mainly if it's a track from the "Rust In Peace" album on 2004 remix/remaster version. Some music videos are shortened versions of the songs (without intros, outros, etc).

[@setonhillstudios]

Gotcha! Appreciate the info! Such a killer tune and they are amazing musicians! Loved every second of it! Thanks for hanging out!

Ooh brother. You have no idea of how deep you have to dig to fully get a proper picture. Their catalogue is quite vast. I miss Nick Menza sitting behind those drums so much. Ahhh, the gold years of my youth.

First 5 albums. All excellent, all unique.

[@danielhead9627]

The sick the dead and the dieing was a thrasher. They still got it.

[@jima6545]

@danielhead9627 last 2 albums they resurrected. Stuff in between was great, but not Megadeth of the 80s. Sadly, angst in vitriol were better muses for Dave. Even sadder, is the state of our world brought that back for him and many others

[@GalacticCenterOG]

You need to watch this live @ Hammersmith ‘92. It’s just like the studio version, only the band is in its literal prime right after they dropped this album. You won’t be disappointed.

[@darquematt3r391]

Megadeth - hangar 18. Like 13 solos yes that's right 13 solos! And then she wolf rude awakening live for the greatest live performance ever

[@radovann6452]

great video as always!!!

[@setonhillstudios]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@metaltildeth6783]

Any song off this album is killer. Like sci-fi and soloes, check out 'Hangar 18'. Like fast Thrash, listen to 'Take No Prisoners', which is an antiwar song, or 'Poison is the Cure' which is about methadone addiction. Like fantasy? ''5 Magics' is your song. If the supernatural is your deal, 'Lucretia.' You want to listen to one of the best solos in metal, try 'Tornado of Souls'. Like bass, 'Dawn Patrol' is 2 minutes of bass, drums and vocals. Finally, 'Rust in Peace, Polaris', the end of the world from a unique perspective. And this all just from this one album, "Rust in Peace". I could continue with the same for each album. I will suggest the "Peace Sells But Who's Buying" album for earlier Megadeth. Not a bad song off that album, even the cover is okay....

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@metaltildeth6783]

@@setonhillstudios Make sure to listen to the original albums versions of Megadeth songs. Many of the remastered versions are not as good as the originals. Also, many Megadeth music videos are shorter, edited for length, than the original songs on the album, 'Holy Wars...' being an exception.

[@albertgraham9641]

One of the best thrash albums

[@sosa831]

Rust in peace, a straight master piece

[@spazimdam]

Yeah an intense rabbit hole this is. Dave Mustaine is awesome, playing incredible rhythm guitar, scary intense lead and awesome singing. All the musicians are very, very good in this band. Check out Take No Prisoners, Hanger 18 and Tornado of Souls from this same album, Rust In Peace. Peace!

[@lynnw9857]

My favourite lineup….Dave Mustaine (of course) - guitars, vocals, Dave Ellefson - bass, Nick Menza - drums, Marty Friedman - guitars. Unfortunately, Nick passed away in 2016, and had been out of Megadeth for several years, as has Marty Friedman. Dave seems to change band members as often as most people change socks 😆. I do really love the current drummer, though, Dirk Verbeuren. An older song (with yet a different lineup) is the title track from Peace Sells, But Who’s Buying. If memory serves Mustaine got the boot from Metallica for being aggressive and confrontational when drunk. Whether that’s the whole story, who knows. Probably not Great reaction! Holy Wars is referencing Northern Ireland. The Punishment Due is based on The Punisher comic books.

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for all the info on the band and the song! Great tune and I can’t wait to hear more! Extremely talented band!

Nice reaction man, would love to see more megadeth reactions. Gonna recommend 5 magics, and also that you always, always go with the original versions over the remasters for megadeth. Not a big deal but some of the remasters are notably worse sounding, especially the rerecorded vocals.

Great song, I think "Hangar 18" will grab you more. Anyway, Could you please react to the band Death? Either the song "Pull the Plug" or "Left to Die". Death is a band that helped birth and shape a new metal genre (death metal) after thrash metal (Metallica, Megadeth). The band leader was a great musician and composer, I think you might find them interesting.

Thanks for the info everyone! Definitely a banger! Can’t wait to hear more from them!

[@stevecain6377]

@@brandonjones1349 Correct, the Holy Wars part is. The second half is about The Punisher. Holy Wars is about the religious conflict in Northern Ireland, which has its roots in the 17th century. The lyrics describe the violence and bloodshed between Catholics and Protestants, with the line “Brother will kill brother, spilling blood across the land” highlighting the senseless killing and destruction caused by the conflict. The Punishment Due is inspired by the Marvel comic book character, the Punisher, a vigilante who seeks revenge against those who have committed crimes. Dave Mustaine, the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist, was a fan of the character, but later lost interest as he felt the Punisher had become too commercialized. Overall, the song is about the destructive nature of war, politics, and religion, and how they can lead to senseless violence and bloodshed. The song’s lyrics are a commentary on the human tendency to kill and harm each other in the name of ideology, nationality, or religion, and the devastating consequences that follow.

Its not about the middle east. Imagery is misleading. Its about the war in Ireland. Protestants and Catholics. Trust me...☘️🇺🇲

[@julesbrunton1728]

It's "about" both ...or more accurately, any, religious conflict. "don't look now to Israel , it might be your homeland" is clearly a warning to all, not just the Irish. Since a middle eastern country is the only place mentioned , the video with all the middle east footage was not fan fiction but actually release by the band and since Dave referenced Gaddafi and Khomeini when talking about the song ...yeah, we'll let the Irish claim it though , since it was inspired by the troubles.

[@brandonjones1349]

@julesbrunton1728 I understand. War has been here since the beginning. You can use whatever terms to define the point of view of good and evil in any war from you vantage point.
