You guys talked about the horror of having Metallica open and being the following Act. Ozzy Osbourne took a big chance in taking these guys out. From 1986-87. It honestly could have eviscerated him. Despite the massive sworn populous after that tour on Metallica's behalf Ozzy never begrudged them once of lapping up that Fame, he embraced it and they loved him for it, and everybody who's a Metal fan respects Ozzy for that. Metallica has never failed in singing the praises of our beloved Prince of Darkness. He was a tour of two different worlds of Metal. One very much Akin to the atmospheric and hard-rocking roots, which Ozzy Osbourne helped to birth, and the visceral thrashing power of this Punk bred form of Metal. It was the divider between the old and the new like Father and Son before our eyes.

I've been a massive Metallica fan for most of the last 30 years. I've listened to every one of their albums countless times. I know every note, every riff, every lyric, every transition. And there is something so damn enjoyable and wholesome watching you guys discover all these songs. There's so many little things, that over all the years, maybe I've taken for granted, or just forgotten. Watching you guys discover all the little nuances and little things that made me fall in love with them all those years ago, it just makes me giddy, and takes me back to when I was young, and feeling all those same things. Absolutely love what you fellas do here. Massive, massive cheers to you guys.

19:58 Dee Snider once told Metallica to close the show even though they were a supporting act on the Twisted Sister tour. I think this was in Ireland. They were skeptical about it, so he told them that there's no trick involved. He just doesn't want to go on after them because there’ll be nobody left in the audience because everyone was there to see Metallica.

I knew another version of the story: pretty much mustaine was playing the mechanix as fast as he could (which is already faster) and lars kept telling him to slow down (most likely because it was sounding like shite, can you imagine a stoned/drunk dave trying to play mechanix as fast as humanly possible? must have sounded horrible lmao). So Dave to mock him started playing that sweet home alabamaish riff (it sounds similar but it's really not the same chords, it just have the same vibe) and they end up keeping it (and that's why it isn't in the mechanix on the first megadeth record, because dave HATED that part and it was only meant as a mockery/joke). I really cannot believe lars didn't know sweet home alabama. Lars was a music collector and into trading tapes. THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL lars never heard sweet home alabama before that point.

I love how the theme of the lyrical content comes through in the instrumentation with Metallica, a song like this (The Four Horsemen) almost has a galloping feel to it, and then a song like One sounds like a battlefront then something like Orion sounds like the soundtrack to a tour through the universe!...I don't know, they just seem to be the masters at catching the essence of the subject matter...I guess that's one of the many reasons that they are the best at what they do!

Fun fact too. This is actually a song that Dave Mustaine wrote when he was a member of Metallica and he asked them not to use it. But they had the rights so they continued to perform it and put it on their first album. So in response Dave wrote a song called Mechanix. Look it up! You'll hear the similarities!

some fun facts about this song: 1 - Yes, Mustaine wrote it alongside James and Lars, but here, in the album, it was already Kirk playing (Mustaine got kicked out from the band before they recorded their first album), so, those solos were all Kirk's. 2 - When Mustaine was in the band, this song had a different name, it was called Mechanix. The song had different lyrics, was faster paced and shorter. The song Mechanix is present in Megadeth's first album, and is the same version Metallica used to play back in the day, but now with Dave's vocals (great song too, really recommend to you guys, would be dope as hell to see you comparing the songs) 3 - When Dave got kicked out, Metallica decided they still needed the song, because they wouldn't have enough tracks for the album recording otherwise, so James wrote new lyrics, the song got the little changes that I talked about above, and then a new song was born, The Four Horsemen.

the main solos are Dave's not Kirk's, Dave plays this song as "Mechanix" on their demo tape (there's a really good remaster of that tape on youtube with the OG lineup with Dave and Ron McGovney on bass). Specifically the closing solo is note for note Dave's. Kirk did write the ones during the "Sweet Home Alabama" section, which are really strong solos. That whole section was a joke that Mustaine did when Lars asked him to play the main riff slower, and Dave instead played Sweet Home Alabama. According to him, he and Cliff had been listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd on the way to band practice that day.

The "scratching" sound is the pick scraping slightly against the coiling of the thicker strings. You can especially hear it where there's a lot of palm mute chugging going on and more noticeable when faster (to alternate-pick fast, you angle the pick so it can pluck the string lightly so the string doesn't restrict the back and forth motion, the angle adds to the "scraping" sound). The amp rigs these guys were playing on back then also have a pretty sharp top end eq which makes the sound more obvious especially with a scooped mids (Metallica is famous for the scooped mids).

Love your reaction, guys. As a 64 year old, Metallica has just recently come to my full attention. EVERYTHING!! Every fucking time. They just do it. Literally, it is of the gods. There's no other way of saying it. The same thing is in Michael Jordan or Bobby Orr. Stevie Ray, and I could go on and on. It's just soul and it connects us in a way which is spiritual. Then the body and mind follow. It's a very trippy thing. Thank you both. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Jaymz’s “scratching” sound was revolutionary at the time. It used to be typical for guitarists (even in metal) to let the chords “ring out” at the end. He came up with his new sound while trying to play faster and louder so the people in the clubs they were playing in couldn’t ignore them. In the process he created thrash.

This song is one of Mustaine's "children" from when he was in Metallica. The song original name was "Mechanix", much shorter and with different lyrics. When Mustaine got kicked, Metallica re-did the lyrics, then added the "Sweet Home" part, and slowed the song down. Later Mustaine re-recorded the original version for the first Megadeth record, and amped up the speed much, much more than the original demo of the song. You guys should listen to it, for a comparison.

That signiture "scratching" sound you hear in a lot of their songs (and in thrash music in general) is a technique called palm muting. It comes from your picking hand and placing the palm of your hand down on the strings as you hit them. The brilliance of them using the palm mute in this track is that they do it in a way where it makes it sound like horses are galloping in the melody. 🐎 🤘

They're not really talking about palm muting when they're talking about the "scratchy" sound of this record; they've been around the block with enough metal songs at this point to be very familiar with what palm muting sounds like. What they're really getting at is the guitar tone on this album in particular just happens to have a very scratchy, raw, punk-ey, garage band style to it, which is just even more noticeable when they're doing palm muting.

@@200pumb I'm fully aware he wrote Mechanix, as I said "or rather the original version": meaning I said that Mechanix was written before the four horsemen and then released afterwards with Megadeth.. But mechanix and the four horsemen are not the same song. The four horsemen was written after Dave was fired and many of the riffs from Mechanix were re-written and re-cycled in different orders and bridged with new riffs, the main similarity between the four horsemen and mechanix being the main riff which Dave undisputedly wrote. There's no need to be such an aggressive little arse just because you inferred I knew nothing, because I didn't write a 300 A4 page essay on the origins of the four horsemen, Dave Mustaine and the Mechanix. The spirit of the comment was to get the author of this video to give the Mechanix a listen and more megadeth. I can imagine that you'd want them to do that and so I implore you to give a thumbs up and leave a nice comment next time instead of pointing out that I didn't write the aforementioned 300 A4 page essay on the origins of the four horsemen, Dave Mustaine and the mechanix.

For me, when I found out that this was how they did it, this was genius. Plus they write a lot of their music in the same key(s). They had an enormous amount of music to puzzle together.

So this is one of my favourite songs from my favourite band of all time. That solo in the outro is gnarly, probably my top 10 early thrash solos, it's so awesome hearing Kirk go up and down the fret like this. Despite some people's sour feelings toward the band, you gotta give them credit in helping introduce thrash along with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. These dudes made such an aggressive sound back in the 80s when hair metal and glam rock were the top of the rock genre! Great video!

It's funny you mention @13:00 about the Sweet Home Alabama similarities. Dave Mustaine would tease Lars by playing Sweet Home Alabama because Lars wanted to slow down Mechanix, like they do in Four Horseman. Lars thought it sounded good and kept it in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a57HqKuwbbGFpNE Here's a link to the video of Dave Mustaine explaining it.

Someone's confused. Dave Mustane is credited for some intros and riffs on Ride The Lighting. Kill "em all, except for the actual solos(which were laid down by Kirk AFTER the album was recorded) , are all Dave. Why do you think he re-did The Four Horseman, titled The Mechanics, on Megadeth's Killing is my Business debut? Because it was entirely his work, like most others on KeA
