Five Magics is a super masterpiece, you cannot possibly understand it in one song play, it's so beyond complex and as aggressive as it can possibly become; it's like from another dimension, how someone can write that kind of song is unbelievable... Also it's a serious ancient belief: the existence of Five Magics, the Pentangle Star. Few things messed up, Thaumaturgy not Thermatology, lightning not electricity, wizardry of fire..

[@throwawayinternetrp]

Exactly, this song just gets better and better each time you play it

[@toparky2470]

idk how other people perceive it, but when i listened to that outro riff, i was sold, 100% on the spot, headbanging like crazy in my workplace. even my boss took concern of me thinking ive lost my mind at my job. true story

[@throwawayinternetrp]

@@toparky2470 when I first heard the song the most notorious aspect was that final section, but each time I heard it again, I realized absolutely everything in this song is rocks... the killer intro which is extended in the outro, nasty bass, insane drumming, that proggy section in the middle, Marty's exotic solos, epic lyrics, and the cherry on top is that blistering Dave solo at the end. The epitome of metal

Marty's last solo before the "Give me alchemy!" part is among some of the greatest guitar work ever recorded.

Couple of things. Black Sabbath also a band that will go somewhere completely different during a song then bring it back. This is one of Dave’s top 2 solos (imo) If you want a song that has different riffs throughout the song then I would recommend The Conjuring. Or Good Mourning/Black Friday. Love the channel

[@statutoryape3912]

[@kelbefresh_3026]

That’s a good note about the Beatles. I say that because Dave Mustaine was a big Beatles Fan and has stated on mutiple occasions his older sister liked the Beatles and that their music has an influence on how he structured certain songs in Megadeth

[@jarmopaakkonen2045]

Maybe he still is,who knows?

[@MostlyToasty-yz4lt]

This is kind of wrong. In Dave’s autobiography he talks about how Cat Steven’s was his biggest early influence for rhythm and getting it from his sister. I haven’t seen him mention the Beatles in that same capacity anywhere

[@mauriliofuentez1744]

​@@MostlyToasty-yz4lt is right, Dave states that in behind the music that Cat Stevens is a major influence on his songwriting.

[@LivingInTheKaliYogurt]

Heard Dave cited Paul Anka and Terry Jacks as major influences on the songwriting for Risk and Super Collider.

Fuego 🔥 The guitar work and drums again are just so good the subject matter doesn’t really matter as much as it would normally be in a song. Having grown up a mettalica fan who hated Dave and Megadeth because as teenage mettwlica fans that’s what we were supposed to do, but once I outgrew juvenile tendencies like hating a man and band I never gave a chance to hear I was hooked when I finally heard their songs at a party a friend was having for new years. And since that day I have been a Megadeth fan.

[@kimonmatara1350]

Megadeth are *very* uneven. Lots of proggy goodness to be found in the two "Peace" albums, but they ran out of juice quickly afterwards.

[@Inductus]

"You did the right version of this song, right?" Cracked me up. 😂 And while you jest, it's not an empty thing to point out, not by a long shot. Probably heard it a hundred times by now but the whole soul of the album was pretty much lost in the remix. For me personally a most egregious thing was that the bass lost all the growl and aggression and it was replaced with a perhaps a bit more audible thumpiness that just does not belong. More over, the drums were remixed to all hell, completely destroyed Menza's masterful work.
