just commented the same, these time vault docs blow my mind.

[@Gibonz]

Youthanasia is an epic album. Obviously its not thrash but who cares. The music is great. RIP Nick

[@man66iac]

I agree with you

[@kryptoniana9489]

it is an prog thrash album definitly in some songs... BUT it's an heavy metal album with great influences of hard rock and speed metal

poor nick, at 10:52 he assured he wanted to live at least up to 60 and didnt make it.. how sad.

Youthanasia is one Of the best álbums of the 90's and one of my favourite of Megadeth.

[@botramduuze7188]

Youthanasia is one of my favourite albums

[@yasmintaraakin8733]

Botram Duuze Yes finally the love this album deserves, its in my top 3 Megadeth albums.

[@ozzmanrocks1]

1994 that's crazy! I was 14 years old when this album was released, remember it like yesterday and loved it! So much so I also bought the guitar tab book and learnt all the songs. Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman and Menza R.I.P. in my eyes the most solid Megadeth that ever was. Keep it rocking!

[@FrancescoDiMauro]

Rest In Peace Nick! :(

I love the solos on this record, they don't make em' this good anymore!

[@AggioSound]

Not sure if you have but give dystopia a good listen. It is a masterpiece.

[@222MovieMan]

@@AggioSound only bad thing is that they took the guitar sound to D or if it was drop D because of Mustaines voice.

[@wewlad2917]

@@222MovieMan yeah, i dislike drop d, it lacks melody and everything sounds generic

[@futurekillxbox972]

@@wewlad2917 ? It’s not “drop d” it’s standard d tuning , lots of songs and bands play in this tuning and it certainly doesn’t lack melody or sound generic !

[@Britishwolf89]

Don't know if anyone noticed but at 6:38 Marty is playing a riff from Never Walk Alone. It was on a Megadeth album that came out in 2007.

[@bencepatyi4032]

It could be Vortex , which came out in 1997

[@Sara_Kane]

It is "Vortex". I've always thought that the main riff of "Never Walk Alone" sounded very similar to the main riff from "Vortex".

[@Britishwolf89]

I think the riff in Never Walk Alone is actually the original version of the Vortex riff but they changed it for the album. It's not the Vortex riff from Cryptic Writings he's playing if you listen closely. Dave has been known to use riffs and variations he wrote years ago in newer albums.

[@jcdenton616]

14:06 This is the riff for Vortex from Cryptic Writings! Awesome!

[@RealityCheck6T9]

15:35 I feel like Dave is a better teacher than most of us get. "And mistakes...and mistakes...and mistakes". That's actually what it takes to succeed at anything.

[@AnthonyWabo]

damn, Nick loved Megadeth, great documentary and album

[@VangelisVergos]

14:06 they used that riff in their next album in Vortex song and in 24:14 it's the Fff song

[@Hadji404]

Yup, absolutely! And 7:23, does anyone recognizes that? I think they have never used it on any song...

[@ac3m0biuz]

Javier Ignacio Lazzarino Sucunza That riff came out in Thirteen album, listen to the backing track of We the people and you can hear the exact pattern

[@sageantone7291]

what about 4:24?

[@man66iac]

And fight for freedom riff based on motorbreath riff

I'm sure RIP Nick Menza is playing drums everyday now and all the time, making drum rolls which he couldn't make on earth, limitless drumming he is involved now- who really knows, may be we're the dead, and the passed away are lively now

[@Nobody-on6gt]

I’ve still got this on vhs! Haven’t seen this in years🤘

[@marcustmachado]

21 years ago...Jesus!!!

[@francovalentinobaresirossi7644]

The cool thing about this album in particular is that every backing track except for a few overdubs are recorded live and that is just mind blowing especially playing the kind of music megadeth played.

[@lightelos]

30 years later, this is one of the best Megadeth albums and one of the most forgotten by the band without any apparent reason.

[@Mikau-gb8uo]

fantastic album.. so many memories..

[@Zullkrokus]

This is why most bands were broke even they sold millions. Their demands before even producing anything were ridiculous. Studio rent was roughly $100-$500 per HOUR. Now imagine, building in up from scratch. Not just a recording studio/room, but basically a recording camp!! All in one WAREHOUSE...live there, play there, recreations. Then...the machines..??!

It’s all at 120bpm, which is a bit weird for a whole album to be at the same tempo front to back.

[@FeelingShred]

this album was plagued by the "scooped" mixing and later on even worse on the remaster... you can actually hear the guitar solos loud and clear on the studio demos and even on the Cassette release (some kind soul shared the audio recording of it here on youtub)

[@GIOO-M]

Blood of Heroes first version of solo

[@LeeCassidy]

@@GIOO-M it's definitely not Blood of Heroes. I think it's either a section of a song that was cut, or maybe even an entire song that didn't make it. It's such a great solo.

why not just go to a studio instead of building one in a warehouse?

'Cause nobody wanted to rent a studio for a band called Megadeth. They said it in interview.

Jaakko Talvitie so studios can discriminate based on a bands name? sounds like bad business

dont see anything wrong in building your own studio, its more cool to build one the way you want it i think

Man it's funny I learned holy wars way back in 1990 I think I thought what difficult song but just genius still isn't easy to play a friend of mine told me he new a bunch of megadeth years later he was a blues rock older guy could not play fast ge hated the speeds I played at I thought no way he can play megadeth he started playing all these like super cool rock riffs I ask what it was he said megadeth I was like no way thats megadeth had a augment then he put on the c.d and sure enough it was fucking megadeth this very lol I was extremely disappointed being hardcore thrash teenager but I decided to learn the songs and I was just so amazed how great the riffs were and the solos fit so perfectly doing 2 different keys in a solo it totally took my playing in a new direction instead of just being extremely fast and aggressive in every song I played this album helped me understand music on a totally different level
