Get Thrashed: Megadeth

[@royporter4933]

They're both amazing line-ups. Neither is better. Rust in Peace is without a doubt their heaviest and most technical album, but Peace Sells has its strengths as well. That album is chaotic and punky and way ahead of its time.

[@Sideler74]

The Jazzy sound comes from Chris Poland & Gar Samuelson. Their background was Jazz Fusion.

[@TomasUjhelyi]

As much as I love the Rust in Peace line-up, there is something about Samuelson's and Poland's jazz influence that just made thrash metal seem so fucking cool

[@Punk93Metal]

Favorite Thrash band!

[@codebabe]

I second that. Havok is so great! I also am really into Revocation right now. Trying to get into Vektor and Municipal Waste as well!

[@MetalAgainstMetallic]

@Oscarskate1001 Ride the Lightning, Four Horsemen, and Seek and Destroy were all group efforts that included Mustaine. Mustaine wrote Jump in the Fire (excluding lyrics) entirely before Megadeth even formed. It was his first song. Call of the Ktulu was entirely him, including the solo.

[@codebabe]

Nice man! Revocation's guitarist went to Berklee, he's a genius. One of the best players I've heard in ages. Actually though my favorite player/band right now is Chuck Schuldiner/Death. I just think they're one of the best bands of all time. Super artistic and metal at the same time. Lots of jazz and prog influence with the death/thrash.

[@bear345678912]

haha, "i was better and faster than them when i was in metallica." truth. dave is a monster

[@BidrohaThrasher]

Dave ur my inspiration. Following u, now I ve Thrash metal band in my country which is only Living OSTM band here... TQ Dave \,,/

[@robertleeluben]

Wake up Dead was and is mind-blowing. That whole album is pristine.

[@PhantomDeth]

Scott Ian laying down hard facts there at the end.

[@royporter4933]

This is why he is my favorite metal songwriter, musician, guitarist. It's almost impossible to do that with certain other metal guys. I think Friedman was of their ilk as well, probably why Mustaine chose him as his lead guitar foil. Pretty complimentary duo there

[@HarvesterOfEyes91]

I forgot Phil Demmel, he wrote most of the stuff along side Rob on Eternal Nightmare. Even Brad Hull from Forced Entry, just listen to their song called Bludgeon. I think he deserves the utmost god damn respect.

[@RSCao]

@dillioneberle I agree with him. I think he actually did kind of started everything. He had everything, the riffs the melody the speed and the aggression. That's just what made thrash. In my opinion, thrash wouldn't exist without him

[@nativerockstar7651]

Funny, if Dave was never kicked out of Metallica then there would be no Megadeth. If Kerry would have never played with Megadeth, then he probably would never start Slayer(not sure about that thought?). Meanwhile Anthrax would still keep going, fucking New Yorkers! Haha

[@DaZingStudios]

Love them both! Metallica and Megadeth :)

[@AceLM92]

God bless Dave Mustaine, the father of Thrash Metal, and leader of the best Thrash band ever!!!

[@prodiggy13]

I was about to ask the same thing before I read your comment, I assume so since Exodus released a masterpiece in 85 before other thrash bands established themselves.

[@HarvesterOfEyes91]

Dave may have a douche attitude at times but I'd consider him the most hardworking talented musician in Metal...no that others aren't I mean...i have a lot of attachment the guitar playing of Megadeth in particular, because they basically got me started to play guitar myself. Also, among my most loved Thrash musicians: Gary Holt, Rob Flynn, Jeff Hanneman, Kirk hammet's old stuff, Mike torrao, Rocky George, Mike Scaccia, Mantas from Venom, John Connelly, Anthony Bramante.etc ALL LEGENDS!

[@folsum53]

@Zell1995 Actually most fans consider Master of Puppets to be their best, and it's at the top of many "Best Metal Albums" lists

[@robiemsdarkable]

@Bodomforever666 ok i'm a megadeth fan for my entire life and this is the megadeth music style over on his biography: they were THRASH METAL ONLY IN THEIR FIRST ALBUM Killing is my business... And Business Is Good, then from Peace Sells...But Who's Buying to Rust In Peace they were SPEED METAL and now since Countdown To Extinction they play a kind of melodic Heavy Metal

[@metallica4413]

@1:09 aaahhhhh a bear

[@SamuelParish]

Killing is my business...and business is good!

[@deadsmile06]

and yes you can't argue with that.

[@OscarWithC]

@TraditionalTKD well true and true, james and lars where doing thrash before mustaine

[@tommW13]

@digitalph33rfan9:but you gotta consider the overall band,pantera loved metallica and you can here the thrash metal sound in most of there songs.pantera isn't simply just groove metal

[@irondino247]

Scott ian said it best at the end

[@bear345678912]

connelly and bramante are so underlooked, as is rob flynn. all absolutely fantastic, better than a lot of crap guitarists playing today

[@manemustaine]

well said gary holt!!

[@digitalph33rfan9]

@LinkToon000 Motorhead and Pantera wouldn't be included in that. Motorhead is New Wave of British Heavy Metal, which inspired thrash, and Pantera is Grove Metal. Some of their stuff is very reminiscent of Slayer/early Metallica, but they were always in a class by themselves. The fifth band would either be Exodus or Testament.

[@TheDeth83]

Hes right to an extent, RIP changed Megadeth, not in a bad way, i love it alot, but the first 3 albums werre miles ahead of RIP.

[@OscarWithC]

@Ryuzaki3140 if thats what you really think you havent been looking around to much, but i do agree megadeth is awsome!

[@Delongis46]

Same here! I've only just heard of revocation, and they're pretty solid. Vektor is fucking insane though! It's taken me the longest time to really enjoy them, but now that I do it's almost been life changing! Have you heard of Sylosis? They aren't really considered part of this new wave of thrash. They sort of do their own thing. They're kind of thrash, prog, death kind of thing, and their guitarist is a motherfucker!

[@OscarWithC]

@MetalAgainstMetallic Not entierly at all, Cliff, James, Ulrich and Mustaine did Call of Ktulu

[@devilred1971]

well said scott ian i agree

[@zzzhuh]

Ya that is killing is my business.

[@peacesellsstevebuyin]

i definitely agree with you bout freidman

[@mrThorleifsen]

4:34 That's what I always say!

[@NsMs96]

I wouldnt call any of those bands or bandmembers overrated. A shame that theres so many underrated bands though.

[@mikenroses]

faster, louder, better... yeah that's Megadeth

[@OscarWithC]

@robiemsdarkable in my opinion there first 2 albums where thrash, RIP had alittle thrash to.

[@bravesfan528]

BLITZ even Bobby BLITZ says Dave is better!

[@folsum53]

@Zell1995 I completely disagree, but to each's own. My original point was that while Mustaine did make some great contribution's the Metallica's first 2 albums, he cannot given the credit that there would be no metallica without him. I feel Metallica became Metallica on Master of Puppets, and all of there sucess of the 90s was without Mustaine as well. So really, saying there would be no Metallica without mustaine is just silly. They really evolved since his departure.

[@OscarWithC]

hahah yeah cocky mustaine, but hes atitude was insane when he was in metallica, just what they needed =D

[@kancherito33]

Nice pic there! Havok rules!

[@Delongis46]

Wow, you mean to tell me you don't like Rust In Peace? I'd hate to be you!

[@Kiltwearer4]

Don't Forget Slayer , Anthrax Exodus and Suicidal Tendencies

[@TheDeth83]

I believe KIMB has the most technical drums, Last Rights prove this!! Ha, my opinion, i wouldnt say its their most technical, or heaviest, but its debatable, only song i found "Heavy" on there was Take no prisoners, & maybe Holy Wars, but most of it had more speed then heavyness, my opinion anyway.

[@katspijamas]

First song=killing is my business...and business is good!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Delongis46]

Well, i can see your point, but it really boils down to opinion. I think the riffing and over all instrumental attack of the first 3 records was deffinetly monsterous. However, I think on RIP- Youthinasia the songs were simple better. Better song structure, themes, and they had Marty Fucking Freidman playing lead for Gods sake!

[@vivelehardcore]

@folsum53 i think what he meant was: without Mustaine would ve never gone that know in the l.a scene! off course Metallica developed their own style in the 1990's, but is it for the best? i think most thrash fans would agree. Metallica evolved for the worsT. dont get me wrong i still love metallica for their first 3 albums;) THRASH FOR LIFE

[@11DNA11]

4:34 Better fucking believe it.

[@TheTaylos]

@TraditionalTKD well... we still have Overkill, and Annihilator and Slayer and alot others, but yeah, i guess Thrash wouldnt be the same,

[@mattman1127]

2:50 MARK MORTON

[@jimmyn7t]

yup he is

[@M4NA5]

he's referring to exodus as the fifth one

[@OscarWithC]

@Ryuzaki3140 Kreator, Sodom, early Metallica, Tankard, Destruction, Overkill, and alot of others

[@MrBierbomber]

mille's english is beutiful as fuck :'D

[@HeavyMetalBeliever]

It's got as much to do with Mustaine as it has to do with the just general spirit/community of the Bay Area and community of thrash in the 1980s in general.

[@prodiggy13]

Exodus, Testament, Death Angel, Flotsam & Jetsam, Exumer, Possessed?

[@OscarWithC]

@fenderian Megadeth - Killing is my bussiness and bussines is good

[@OscarWithC]

@megakipitoslord haha yeah!!! The Plauge never dies!!! VIOLATOR!!! Evile, Mantic Ritual, Municipal Waste Gama Bomb and alot of others

[@titomoreno]

@gothicgarden2006 yes, the bible is called rust in peace!

[@veekewdin]

what's the song at the end ¿

[@robiemsdarkable]

for those who don't realize this, megadeth is speed metal , not thrash

[@folsum53]

@Zell1995 You keep missing my point. I'm saying that you can't give the majority of credit to Mustaine for Metallica's brilliance and success.

[@mooninites3]

My favorite Metallica song is co-written by Dave... Metal Militia!

[@OscarWithC]

@fenderian No problem m8.

[@jaiopie68]

Death magnetic is ordinary sorry the first four album are mile up ahead of DM

[@Delongis46]

Ha! Thanks dude!

[@OscarWithC]

yepp think so...

[@jarabacityfinest]

can anyone tell me what song that is between 0.19 to 0.31

[@pivetlord13]

guess dave never healed lmao

[@sephirothfromff7]

Big 5? Metallica,Slayer,Megadeth - Dave Affected these Anthrax and who? Testament? Am I right?

[@KingNothing710]

right now i feel like i can say metallica = megadeth

[@xXRogueFloppersXx]

4:00 The big 5?

[@metalhead6813]

BEST FUCKING THRASH METAL BAND EVER

[@TraditionalTKD]

It's not arrogant if it's true. Without Mustaine, thrash metal would not exist.

[@NsMs96]

Since their latest album, u kinda have to add late Metallica to that list too ;) They just kinda fucked something up in the late 90:s, early 2000:s....

[@Aiken_Medon]

watz the name of the song @1.33

[@Aiken_Medon]

thanx man \m/

[@OscarWithC]

@nickwebb138 haha he wrote one whole metallica song,so you only like one?

[@megakipitoslord]

@Oscarskate1001 Hell yeah ! Thrash 'till death !

[@OscarWithC]

@scarygreenmonster Killing is my bussiness and bussines is good

[@SuperSaiyanMetalHead]

....Wake Up Dead

[@OscarWithC]

@dillioneberle and i agree with you there

[@Loganator259]

@jarabacityfinest Wake up dead. By Megadeth.

[@idontgiveafuck48]

How arrogant is Dave Mustaine?!

[@MrLolozano]

What's the song at 0:20 ?

[@TheHangarEighteen]

Metal has no barriers or guidelines you cant say it should not be this or shoulnt be that and if you only listened to the first 3, possibly the 3 best your missing out on ALOT of shit son.

[@Thrashoholick]

Who does he mean when he says Big 5? : o Exodus? Overkill??

[@peacesellsstevebuyin]

i've met jason bitner!

[@titomoreno]

cocky, but is true

[@OscarWithC]

@shnakeaneggs What metallica is today has nothing to do with that they kicked mustaine, metallica has just changed thats all. And we got puppets, justice and all of the other songs on kill em all and ride the lightning mustine diden wrote on... to prove that mustaine wassent the (power of Metallica) or what i should call it. still no hate on mustaine, Mustaine is an awsome guitarist =)

[@HarvesterOfEyes91]

ROFL 1:18 GRUDGE Part V

[@SheLoves2008]

Am I the only one who's confused by him saying "3 bands out of the big 5" Haha, either way Megadeth fucking kicks ass

[@BrutalSamba]

@sephirothfromff7 nah anvil deserves it way more. anvil is too under rated

[@deadsmile06]

yes, metal is not that political, punk is.. but thrash is punk influenced.

[@enterrador667]

@sephirothfromff7 PANTERA

[@peacesellsstevebuyin]

you could for a day, listen to zappa, charlie parker, billie holiday, miles davis, mozart, beethoven, tchaikovsky, mendhellson and hendrix and still consider dave mustaine a brilliant musician

[@Ryuzaki3140]

Megadeth is the only real thrash band
