FIRST TIME listening to MEGADETH "Tornado of Souls" REACTION

[@ali965]

This solo is widely regarded as being the greatest guitar solo in thrash metal. I couldn’t agree more

[@pierremartino7568]

Such an incredible song with one of the greatest guitar solo of all time (for me)

[@khalebrobertson9907]

widely known as one of the best, another would be through the fire and flames, both pretty nuts :)

[@sagargurung2785]

You are not the only one

[@EliFappy]

​@@khalebrobertson9907through the flames isnt a good solo, its just super super fast, this is a awesome solo cause it suits the rythym so well

that guitar solo by Marty Friedman... chills... oh and happy B-day!!! 🎂🎂🎂🎂

[@lillyjanereacts]

Thank you my friend!!

[@fifis677]

Marty will always be the best guitarist in Megadeth. Especially now that they've tuned down and sound like crap.

[@ozztelorman7057]

It's said that after recording that solo, Dave Mustaine - being a perfectionist and always over-critical during recording sessions - stood up and shook Friedman's hand, saying nothing else.

was about to say this, hangar 18 if you want to hear some solos! dave and marty go AT IT on that one

[@jordanwill1923]

Marty Friedman (lead guitarist of megadeth at the time) is my personal favorite solo guitarist of all time. The story telling in his solo's is unmatched by most.

[@tritontransport]

All the guitarists that Mustaine has ever hired are all top notch

[@Jason-bi2hx]

Fun fact. He wrote the lyrics about Diana, his girlfriend of about 4 years. Toxic relationship, but he couldn't pull himself from it until shortly before this album. You should read his book. He did an autobiography, interesting stuff! Soooo late. But hope you enjoyed the birthday :)

Exactly, I absolutely agree with your thought about the solo. What makes a metal/rock guitar solo legendary is how it is composed not only by the emotional elements, but also by thematic components that ultimately creates a sequence or story for that song. Brilliant analysis, Lilly!

[@jacobmarriott7971]

Looking beautiful as always! Happy birthday!

[@lillyjanereacts]

Thank you jacob (:

[@tgish1]

This album is a masterpiece!!!

[@adriandossantos4318]

My favorite off the album is Take No Prisoners. Greatest thrash intro of all time. Short, but low-end bliss! Second verse REALLY kicks in!

[@kryptonian5539]

I would say that take no prisoners does come closer to any other at pushin holy wars aside. close....

[@slayer91340]

Marty Friedman has that ability to make his solos tell a story. His solo in Lucretia is another beautiful build-up. Extremely creative. Again Extremely hard to play because he goes all over the fret board for it.

[@NEROYGeometry]

Marty's vibrato and bends sound fucking amazing , no one have Marty's vibrato , I mean zakk wylde have a great one but not as good as this one

[@Intrepidus_Bellator]

Love the reactions. It's so great for an old metal head like myself to see new metal heads reacting for the first time. It's like I'm reliving that same beautiful moment when I popped this album into my CD player and heard this song. 👏

[@scottyyjackson]

This is my favorite megadeth song. I’m glad you reacted to it. This guitar solo kills it and I wish I could even come close to playing it. I’d like to think I probably showed you this song when we were growing up. I was usually listening to megadeth. This is your cousin by the way. You know which one lol.

[@brandoncrow3741]

Most people in the know hear "Tornado of Souls" and INSTANTLY they think "ahh man...that SOLO!" 😆 Marty Friedman would have become legendary if this was his only solo released. Thank God he gave Dave more years in Megadeth! 🤘 This entire album is a Marty Friedman & Nick Menza showcase. The second best Marty solo on the album is Lucretia. He's just something special. Happy Birthday! 🎉

The whole album Rust In Peace is just legendary. I still remember back around 1990 when it first came out, going to a local Kmart of all places to buy it. They had all the CDs locked up behind glass cases and no matter how long i waited i could not get a employee to come over and unlock it for me. Finally i gave up and went to a local record store.

[@kevinr.gagnon1895]

Ive Seen so many reaction of this album. Marty Friedman is such an incredible guitar player. Before Megadeth he use to play with an other guitar player named Jason Becker. Name of the band: Cacophony. If you like crazy guitar solos youll enjoy listening IT. Happy bday

What you said about talking in guitar is really interesting because that's what jazz guitarists are taught to do, basically trading licks and solos as if they're both having a conversation. Look up the skit Jazz Dispute - Dizzy Gillespie vs. Charlie Parker Lip Sync here on KZbin for a fun example of this ^^ Brilliant reaction, again!

Happy Birthday Lilly! Metal is a form of Rock music. An extreme form of it. Just as Gangsta Rap is a form of hip-hop. An extreme form of it. This song is not really a love/break up song - they lyrics implying a love/hate relationship is more of just a metaphor. The is more about the whirlwind of addiction. There is often a hidden deeper meaning in alot of metal songs. In rap, they use clever "doubles" in the lyrics to express hidden meanings. In metal it's usually creative philosophical metaphors.

[@NS1.]

NICE! Now please react to 'Good Mourning/Black Friday'. Two songs in one, the first few minutes(Good Mourning) is a beautiful sounding, sexy as hell guitar playing. Then Black Friday kicks in and it is amazing, heavy, technical thrash. Edit: 6:35 - Chris Poland is good at using the whammy bar to make the guitar sound like it's crying. That's what he basically did on "Good Mourning". Not to forget about how awesome Dave's awesome sounding clean guitar part.

Conveying thoughts/feelings through instruments is the essence of Metal/Rock music. Now, if you really want to hear someone's thoughts come through with instruments alone, you should listen to instrumental metal/rock music like Andy James's solo projects. After Midnight for instance from his Arrival album is a beautiful track.

Tornado of Souls is one of the greatest songs ever in the history of heavy metal music and the guitar solo of this song was written, composed & played by the one n only mighty guitarist Marty Friedman. This song's guitar solo is also one of the greatest guitar solos ever in heavy metal music history, not just because it seems fast or complex while hearing but in reality the solo is a lot easier to play than the riff part of this song. The whole song's melody is incomparable till these days.

[@bayfalconbay7020]

Nice observation and reaction!

[@adriandossantos4318]

Nobody "speaks" metal like Dave. Listen to When. Don't know why he throws a tribute to Am I Evil in the middle, kinda ruins it a bit, but right up there with one of my favorite metal songs of all time. He "bites" the words... Slow pace, but unique and very heavy! He describes it as "vitriolic"... Perfect description.

[@ravensoulmetal8466]

Happy birthday Lilly, great reaction to a great song. As an old thrasher I'd like to suggest Sanctuary - Die for my sins. This song has one of the most distinctive voices in all of thrash metal, the late great Warrel Dane.
