For me it's like a audio horror movie. Cracks me up how even today censors are worried about words than deeds. I watch the Walking Dead where they can disembowel someone , blow their head clean off , but can only say shit or fuck once a show. What kind of stupid upside down shit is that?

[@frightenedsoul]

My dad would have been cool with it as he’s a rocker at heart. His childhood favorite bands were King Crimson and Pink Floyd. My mom was a hippie and actually went to an Alice Cooper concert when she was 16, but as a mom she was a super strict conservative Christian and I literally was unable to listen to “secular” music growing up (anything not labeled Christian) until I got my own job at 16 and could buy whatever cds I wanted. I had the worst music exposure a child could have with that awful radio friendly Christian gospel soft rock I was basically forced to listen to for 16 years lol Edit: i need to find out if my mom knows Alive Cooper is actually a Christian but I do know she had to lie to her mom in order to go see him lol

[@tsimmons12]

Lex is beginning to intuitively comprehend music theory by ear. Guitar solos are played to a musical scale. Long story short, each scale has seven notes, and can be repeated in rising and falling octaves. So the guitarist will play a bunch of sequential notes in a particular scale up and down over and over again for the solo. Sticking to the scale means that every note they strike will sound good played sequentially. I'm drastically oversimplifying here, but Lex is picking this up simply by ear. You rock!!

[@stamaalexgabriel2262]

Megadeth always had the best guitar players!!

[@PHILPOP2]

I don't think Dave would settle for Average.

[@markovisic7244]

Testament too, Exodus also, Death Angel....

[@davedagreat69]

And Overkill and Annihilator. In fact Dave tried to get Jeff Waters to join Megadeth on several occasions.

[@Qthetar]

The song is about the story of the guy that blamed the devil for his killings it happened in 1984 I think. Basically when Dave sings the part of what the fuck is this, and screamed is the moment that happened and the devil took over and started hammering 😆. Really dark lyrics.

[@neillenet291]

FUN FACT: This song is one of the reasons you see records with the "Parental Advisory" sticker slapped on them. I remember watching the hearings and listening to Tipper Gore (i think it was her) read out the lyrics to this song specifically.

[@iDEATH]

[@EarleMason]

"Liar" by Megadeth - love the chorus. Lex, Dave Mustaine sings as fast as a guitar solo during the chorus

[@fernandonavarrette4522]

Lex nailed it with the guitar neck. They're called scales. Scales are repeated over and over and are repeated at different parts of the neck. Thats shredding in a nut shell. Now you're learning by listening. Great job.

[@fidacuca]

She's brilliant.

[@hankkingsley9183]

Well really are they not riffs... that are moved up and down the scale?

[@lukesabin691]

@@hankkingsley9183 yeah, but that’s after we learn about the basic concepts. Like there are twelve notes in an octave, and those notes just repeat.

[@chr1s631]

When you repeat the patterns on the previous two strings quickly it gives the effect that you're playing super fast when it's something that's not that complicated. That's what she heard I think, or maybe the pentatonic shred

[@chrisdubay02]

I think she was recognizing triplets

Yaaaaaassss! Best Megadeth. Love the intro, Chris Poland worked this

[@m000Theevilcow]

Peace sells .. but who´s buying should be the motto for the UN xD.. This is about a man who is possessed by a demon and goes on a gruesome killing spree, which becomes known as "Black Friday." btw despite Kirk (replaced Mustaine in Metallica) being taught by Satriani, Dave Mustaine is on a level of his own, he is a METAL god, even more considering how he learned to play the guitar.

[@mickaelmatias6891]

[@MusaFinderi]

You cannot teach ears and taste. There are players that feel the music, and players that know the music. Feeling is more Universal, as it comes out as genuine and original.

[@andrewbaldwin9796]

'Rust in Peace... Polaris' by Megadeth would be a great reaction🤘🤘🤘

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Far and Away my favorite song intro MegaDave has ever done. The guitarist Chris Poland that plays the solo on that beginning part absolutely Nails the emotion and Mastery over the little bits of feedback he allows the guitar to shine with and damn dude... So good. And then Black Friday comes along and rip your head off which is equally bad ass. This lineup which is considered one of the two classic lineup was so great

[@sebastianbenavides2606]

im 99% sure that is Dave who plays the solos at the beginning, Chris Poland plays the final solo in the Black friday part. But yeah, is so great

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

@@sebastianbenavides2606 the very first solo part is Chris Poland for sure. It's his intonation, his Reliance on major thirds that he runs against his odd 9th and whatnot. Three Jazz. And then it goes into Mustaine when it really starts to get crazy with all the double picking all the stuff as the power cords get prominent. I seen the song live on the peace sells tour

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

@@uslegions2619 Mustaine was such a strong songwriter, and really had a grasp of the craft for arrangement and whatnot.. but I have to say one of his strongest suits was the ability to pick guitar players who were very different from him. As much of a control freak and whatnot if he can obviously be, he knew a good thing when he saw it and both those guys.. well come on.. all his choices in their own way have been spectacular. But I do miss the Chris Poland years the most I think.

[@Walamonga1313]

I've watched so many reactions to this song and I've never seen anyone try to explain guitar scales like this. Hell, I don't think many people even comment on the guitars themselves and mostly just talk about the song in general amd the lyrics. This was a great video and yes, guitar (and music) is based on "repeats" of note groupings. Essentially if you're in a certain key and you play on a certain scale, every note you play will sound good. Sometimes people play "wrong" notes to achieve dissonance to create certain moods too

Dave Mustaine was in his mid-20's when he almost single-handedly wrote and co-produced this record "Peace sells, but who's buyin' " in 1986... and he was on heroin & junk during those years... impressive🤘🤘🔥

[@Nissardpertugiu]

He had the 4 megadeth albums in the vault mainly in 1983.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@Nissardpertugiu No, he didn't... Mustaine was upset after Metallica's "Kill 'em all" came out cos they recorded his songs which he wanted for the first Megadeth record. He had to write "Killing is my business" from scratch in 1984. Only 1 early song 'Megadeth' was changed over time and made the 3rd album as 'Set the world afire'. 'In my darkest hour' was written after Cliff Burton died in 1986 and 'Rust in peace' was demoed in 1989 w/ Chris Poland on guitar. Mustaine wrote music between Megadeth tours, but was too broke & too high to write 4 albums worth of music in 1983.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@Nissardpertugiu I think u got it wrong. First, McGovney only had Metallica's early recorded demos and second, he and Mustaine did not get along. So that claim is patently false. Mustaine had riffs... he likely showed David Ellefson stuff he was working on, but not a whole 4 albums worth of music. And Panic songs being on 'Rust in peace'? Who said that? False. Totally false. No evidence of that claim.

If you wanna' see Megadeth's current lead guitarist actually practicing a blistering solo, there is a video on KZbin where Kiko Laureiro plays his guitar parts from, "Tornado Of Souls", which includes the solo. It was written by Megadeth's former lead guitarist, Marty Friedman and it is widely considered one of the finest solos of the genre. You'll get an idea just how talented these players actually are.

[@Mudflap1974]

Check out "My Last Words" from this album, it is one of my favorite Megadeth songs. Supposedly Lars from Metallica says the same thing. I can see Lex wants to shred some guitar, love it! :) I've been playing since the early 80s when I was kid, and I know a lot of Megadeth songs. I would say in general the songs are on the more difficult end of the spectrum in terms of heavy metal stuff. Most of the riffs aren't hard to play for a decent player per se, but they often contain lots of notes, nuance, and speed, so precision is required to get them to sound right. Guitar solos are often hard to learn because the original players usually put a lot of personality in them, even if not on purpose. Many people can technically learn to play the solos, but getting them to sound exactly right is often not that easy. That is one of the cool things about the guitar though! Anyway, I also really like "Mary Jane" off the "So Far So Good So What" Megadeth album. That is one of their most fun songs to play for me, it just has these kick-ass guitar hero style riffs. Great channel BTW!

[@paramentalproductions2053]

Damn Lex you really know how to pick a song to ask about riffs lol. Megadeth are known for their intricate riffing, what you were describing in the end seems to me to be basically what’s called triplets (dividing a beat into 3 equal parts) typically played in a sequence, and in this case played over in same and different positions related to the key of the song. Hope that makes sense

The rythm guitar is definitely easier than the solo, but the matter of the fact is that most people who think they can play the rythmic part of this song actually cannot, it's very difficult to play the entire song clean without messing up, because it's so damn fast. There are hordes of talented guitarists on the planet, but only a few of them make it to iconic bands like Megadeth. I think most metal fans would actually praise the drums part of this song to be the most difficult part - if you give it another listen and pay attention to the drum line, it's borderline insane.
