[@anthonyrivers1619]

AGREED!!!

[@GMMReviews]

You should make sure to listen to the *original* mix on replays, and not the remaster! Not only is the "remaster" of Rust in Peace generally worse than the original, but they lost the original vocal track for Five Magics specifically, so the remaster uses a demo recording of Dave's vocals. The original mix's vocals are *much* better, they're *nastier* and more sinister sounding.

[@gottlicherhammer]

This right here. The original had so much more venom in the vocals.

[@blindguardian1979]

Agree...I can barely listen to the vocals of this version after being used to the original vocals which are much much better!

[@davidrydelpas]

I agree with the original mix being so much better. I had listened to the original for so many years then seen it had been remastered so I got it. There are many bands that need/needed some of their albums remastered because, for example, original sound recording being too low as Testaments: The Legacy... which I still have and enjoy to this day, and other bands that could use an adjustment. Megadeth is NOT one of them. I was Sooo disappointed when I heard the remastered version of this album and was turned off immediately. Some of the riffs were slightly off and drastically changed. Dave's vocals were not the same and the lyrics were switched as if someone had dyslexia when singing it or editing it. Poorly remastered is what it was but I'll always love Megadeth.

[@beirch]

The layered "Hey!" vocals on Lucretia especially is so disappointing in the remaster. The original sounds massive with lots of reverb, while the remaster is incredibly dull sounding. Bummed me out when I heard it.

[@kirkolrecholrech7145]

Agreed.....

[@gene1131]

If you want a song that will stay on the playlist, ''Take no Prisoners'' is what you need. You guys rock!

[@dg-lq5wz]

My favorite song from RIP, but they don't gravitate to the fastest aspects of thrash. Take No Prisoners is that- furious from start to finish.

[@RichSmithson]

Hell Yes

[@lukeatron3594]

Since this is "Five Magics," they are showing off by playing in 5, during the middle sections. (If you count off the beats, you will count "1-2-3-4-5" or "1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2".) The rest of the song is in 4, like most rock, funk, hip-hop, etc., and it's easier to groove in 4. You'll notice that once they jump back into 4 (just before the line "Possessed with hellish torment"), you can feel the groove come back. Some people learn to love "odd time signatures" like 5 (or 7, 9, 11, etc.), which were also used by Rush, Tool, and many other progressive bands. But some people can't feel the groove in them as much. I could be wrong, but I think that's what threw you guys off during the middle sections, more than the thrash element. (Also, Dave Mustaine re-recorded vocals on this version, and the original vocals are much better.)

[@alphaenemyplus8376]

Remastered vocals are shit in a hot room bad.

[@garlicfries85]

I agree. I love the weird feeling of odd time signatures

[@sonofaspine]

This is the one song where i prefer dave's solo over marty's. However, Marty's first 4 solos when the song first speeds up at around the 2 minute mark is one of the most wicked sets of solos ive heard. Middle solos are decent but not as amazing to me. Great song.

People cry about the remasters for the new vocals on a couple songs but still, the remasters sounds crushing on a good sound system. I have both versions, they both sounds really good. Too bad for the vocals but what did you want him to do?

[@luigiseventyseven]

All complex songs need to be listened to many times before appreciating them fully. It's the beauty of Mustaine's genius, it's the beauty of having all these twists and turns in the music. These compositions, like in classical music, release enjoyment long term because you always discover new details every time you listen, even years later. If that bass line you loved in the first part was repeated many times it would cause short term and immediate pleasure but in the long run the song would bore you. Rust in Peace is always a joy to listen to 30 years later because it's an infinite source of fresh energy to the ear and the soul. And this is thanks to the 'blips' as you call them and overall complexity that you might not like the first time you listen to the song. Time is on Megadeth's side, like a good wine it gets better and better as the years go by. Thank you for your reactions, they are always great!

Ellefson's bass on My Last Words is the best part of what makes the song such a great way to close out the album.

[@222MovieMan]

Lars ullrichs favorite song on that album

[@manjunathabhishek8018]

@@222MovieMan yes.. I've heard that story of Dave playing that song in some concert because lars was in attendance.

[@wonder1908]

Very nice guys! You made my day!

[@Tiscau10]

Nothing better than LIV reacting to Megadeth. So glad you finally did this song! Plz more Megadeth! Love you guys

[@rileystewart9165]

You guys introduced me to Megadeath. I love this album a lot, and this is one of my favorites. Spread the joy of music further!

[@forafewpossumsmore]

That ending solo segment is insane

[@sanbilge]

"Tell me, do you bleed?" Yes, of course, I just listened to Megadeth.

[@toparky2470]

The whole ending section is insane 💪

[@cc_1983]

RIP Nick Menza and the riffing is first class and well Marty? What can be said that can’t be said already. Phenomenal

[@EchoShreds]

What a treat! Love you guys so much man.

[@Belone1976]

So now it’s time for the title track - the almighty “Rust in Peace...Polaris”. You wont regret it.

[@sanbilge]

I can't help but straight up DANCE whenever I listen to Rust in Peace...Polaris. Shake my ass and everything XD

[@herculesbrofister265]

That song is pretty dark imo. These lame black metal bands think satan is dark? Try nuclear warfare.

[@da9pauly]

Great to hear More Megadeth !!! For a great instrumental react to into the Lungs of Hell from Megadeth !!! Also react to the song She Wolf live from Rude Awakening guitar and drums that will rock you the hell out...

[@Qthetar]

Original not remastered tho

[@Belone1976]

@@da9pauly - agree on Into the Lungs og Hell. It’s so underrated.

[@Tarryk]

THANK YOU for coming back to Megadeth. Yes definitely do Sweating Bullets (you will LAUGH through that one, in a good way) and A Tout Le Monde (BEAUTIFUL song) asap!!

[@mykotron]

They won’t like tout le monde

[@mgd201]

Train of consequences as well

[@theallofist5461]

You guys make my day, cheers \m/

[@heavybrett-al4082]

When this album hit the scene back in the day,it definitely became a benchmark, Marty Friedman and Dave's duo soloing is insane🥰👍🤘🙏

[@dominiccomer8263]

Great video as always guys. I would definitely recommend also listening to the original 1990 version, as this sounds like the 2004 remaster. Dave re recorded several vocal tracks for the remaster, which changed the sound of the tracks considerably. This song in particular has a marked difference in vocal aggression and power between versions, especially in the section with the demonic vocal effects. Thanks again and keep killing it with the videos.

[@sanbilge]

ditto! just wrote the same comment elsewhere!

[@Excogitate]

Damn I haven’t check out your guys channel in a few years, I’m actually mad happy to see you guys are at 1m subs last time I was here you guys hadn’t even hit 100k this is great

[@Beyondflix]

17:00 yoooo George just showed what he learned in all those years xD haven't been here in a long ass time, but right here, saying that Thrash has its roots in punk????!! Those are some deeeeep cuts right there :D I'm proud of you guys!

[@dannycox6375]

You guys always bring a smile to my face. Thank you.

[@MJXtube]

My favorite part is that the song is about FIVE magics, so the pre-chorus (12:26) is in 5/8 and the back half of the chorus (13:13) is in 5/4.

[@colinryan4737]

Nice catch

[@kevinboutwell]

Holy shit! Never noticed

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

Yeah, the time signature weirdness in this song actually makes it *less* headbangable than George seems to imagine. This is easily the proggiest song Megadeth ever did

[@Qthetar]

They should have done the original much better than the remastered

[@jod_hates_it_here6895]

[@TenTonNuke]

I grew up on Megadeth. Listening to Megadeth whisks me away to a simpler time before the internet where I was lifting plastic weights in the garage. I had no idea I was listening to music that would be some of the best ever made.

[@BigSplenda1885]

You guys are so great and so respectful of all types of music

[@Trigkas]

Do the "she wolf" live version 💯

[@naxedgt2053]

Very solid choice. One of Megadeth's very best.

[@mybyrdseyeview7045]

Definitely one of my favorites

[@Mastercreek]

Just not this version

[@goodini026]

@@Mastercreek yea the remastered version of Rust in Piece is terrible. The only good remastered album was Killing is My Business...and Business is Good (The Final Kill)

[@ctb3386]

Was sitting here thinking "Just you two wait till the last part!" ha!!!!

Loved that reaction guys! One of my favorites.

Dude you guys remind me of myself back in the 90's discovering THE MASTERY" of Megadeth 🙏🏾👌🏾,this actually took me back there"! Damn!!!

[@EelcovanZanten]

“Lucricia, where u at?” 😂👌

[@taylorwinterhalder9895]

This is one of their best deep cuts

[@Weeping_Somnambulist]

Prefer the original master for sure though, not just of this track but the whole album. The drum and vocal tracks on the original master are way better imo.

[@williamcozart8158]

@@Weeping_Somnambulist Same.

[@mariorcanazza2267]

I love seeing people as excited and loving Megadeth as much as I do. My favorite band and my first show back in 1994, Youthanasia tour. Thank you guys! This song is absolutely amazing, particularly the end riff at 19:38... .

[@jasondavis6009]

Still yet gotta do In my darkest hour. Thats one of Megadeths biggest songs of all time

[@ramileventhal8430]

Ashes in your mouth is a masterpiece! Please react to this great song from the countdown to extinction album.
