Megadeth - 5 Magics (pianist reacts to metalhead friend’s suggestion)

[@Kostecc]

This is my favourite Megadeth song

[@stevenhenry5267]

In my top 5.

[@bx3556]

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

[@wardrunaragnar5031]

Calm down there chief. It's not exactly Beethoven levels of complexity. It's a good tune, but let's not get carried away here.

Oh fuck yes I love this song, so underrated! Give me alchemy, give me wizardry Give me sorcery, thermatology Electricity, magic if you please Master all of these, bring him to his knees I master five magics 🎵

[@bx3556]

Thaumaturgy.... Wizardry and Sorcery are definitely different..

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

[@eccehomer8182]

I rate that solo with any on this album... including TOS... in 5/4 time and modally perfect... weird but so melodic... it's the sixth magic!

Poland was better.

Megadeth never had a bad album with Poland, but as soon as Friedman got involved in the overall writing process of Megadeth they went downhill and released some of their worst albums.

[@everyonelovesmajima]

I had an EEG recently and while we were getting ready, the nurse asked me what kind of music I liked and the first band I thought of was Megadeth. So I'm laying in the machine and this song comes on, and I'm supposed be laying still but I'm in there like "BESTOW UPON ME MAGIC WIZARD ALL-KNOWING ALL-WIIISE"

[@davidsuch8942]

Never seen an eeg machine you lay in. Did you mean mri?

[@kylewelsh_krossdesu7700]

The more I listen to Megadeth over the years, the more I'm convinced that this is actually their best song.

[@eccehomer8182]

@judsong: as a tone deaf ex-guitar player I must say I kinda hate you with a passion lol 😅

[@judsong]

All taken as a compliment, no doubt!

[@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.

[@mrfahrenheit677]

@@MostlyToasty-yz4lt It's possible to have more than one musical influence

[@kalimero86]

I love then ending, I mean, I love the whole song, but the ending... is just gorgeous.

[@IROCZSPEED]

Thanks Judson. I spilled water all over myself, taking a drink when you said your mom's ready...

[@mattsabath]

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

[@kelbefresh_3026]

THEY HAVE TO DO GOOD MOURNING / BLACK FRIDAY he would eat that song up

[@11DNA11]

The Conjuring is just a riff fest. He'd love Good Mourning/Black Friday too.

[@SteveCoronado2]

The best of the big 4 in my opinion. Along the lines of being “schizophrenic” musically they have a song that is exactly that. Not sure if you’ve heard or done it but check out “Sweating Bullets”

[@jackclayton5620]

subbed because of the song, and the great shirt! You guys are the best on KZbin for sure

[@RicardoRemo2011]

Nice choice of song. You guys should try the band Death. There are some really cool and odd songs structures from that band too.

[@Chevymetal69z28]

I so wish they would do something from Death, especially from Human, Symbolic or TSOP albums.

[@jaedonbusch6679]

Perennial Quest would be sick

[@vonclod123]

[@MTheoOA]

Wow, i recommended death too! It's insane

[@TSE_WOODY]

[@augustomoriames1492]

[@seanwechsler6783]

Oh I remember when I first listened to Five Magics. You might say it was…”magical”. Awesome video guys. I hope this means Megadeth will remain in the mix of artists/songs you share.

[@tonysoto8949]

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.

[@journeymenforlife]

It's awesome rediscovering old songs with you two. Keep doing what you're doing chaps 💚🤙

As the T-shirt suggests, you should do something by Exodus and from the Bonded By Blood album. One of the best thrash albums of all time. You two Magics are enough for me, but if Mustaine says, I can take five.

[@MrThrash3d]

You have to do some Death for real. For example you can start with something more old school and primitive like "Left to Die" from Leprosy and on the future episode you can surprise him with something from Symbolic, SOP or even Control Denied.
