Can you imagine being a kid and getting this brand new album, putting it on and THIS is the first track..... I'm STILL recovering.

[@martianwoodpecker]

My first Megadeth album was Countdown to Extinction when I was a kid. Skin o' My Teeth was the first track and was also a crazy intro. I bought Rust In Peace shortly after and they remain my favorite band to this day.

[@competetodefeat4610]

Well IMO Metallica lost their place as a metal band when the black album came out. They also did one of the most unmetal things of all times in going after Napster instead of blaming their own record label for their failings to keep up with the times. Just the fact that Megadeth never totally sold out like Metallica did makes them the clear winner, even putting everything else aside.

[@Eliath1984]

@@competetodefeat4610 I still honestly enjoyed Metallica through S&M.. sure Load and Reload weren't..... great.... but they were tolerable and had a few bright spots.. and S&M was a cool experience to me.. but after that it just went all to hell.. Megadeth stayed consistent(cept for Risk)

[@-R.Gray-]

The lead singer, writer, and co lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, got fired from Metallica for substance abuse, and both bands (and their fans) had an adversarial relationship for years. I like them both.

[@badassmalificent]

Same here. I have a Metallica tattoo and Megadeth was my first concert. You should see the weird looks I get when I tell people that. 🤣

[@ep8470]

Notice which band stayed underground & which sold out...Dave wrote Metallica's early shit, Lars was & is a jealous lil prick, made cuz a friend copied a tape to give to other friends...u lost Lars...lol

[@SantomPh]

substance abuse, kicking James Hetfield's dog and generally being a prick. He's still a (well liked) prick but the bands have made up and shared and toured together. Dave has suffered two cancer diagnoses, nerve damage, back surgery and other injuries, it's about time people left him alone.

[@harveyhandbanana]

Bro same. I didn't like Megadeth early on when I was young but I ended up finding and loving them later on. I got that first reaction feeling later in life and it gave me hope there's still good music to be found in the world. Brilliant completely brilliant music

[@YesManNomad]

Holy Wars is, hands down, the greatest metal song ever written. The video on KZbin has 32 million views, 54 million plays on Spotify, and opened a platinum selling album...without having a chorus or a ‘hook,’ not uttering the first lyric until 90 seconds into the song, and only saying the title of the song once. It defies all conventional pop music “rules,” smashes them, and lights an incendiary bombfire with the ashes left behind by some fucking intense guitar solos, brilliant lyrics, and woomph woomph mastery from a prolific rhythm section.

[@ZjawbreakerZ]

Welcome to the club man, I wish I'd have that extremely special amount of amazement you experienced once again like I did 20 years ago when this song started playing in my walkman for the first time. If you keep treading into the world of metal music, I assure that you're gonna have many more of these thrills. This song is the epitome of perfection in metal, it has just the right recipe to all aspects to lay down a legendary hit, lyrical phrasing, composition, musicianship, delivery, not a single second is gone to waste in this album, it's still top shelf stuff even in today's standards.

Welcome to Megadeth brother. Been a fan since the 80's. This is one of the Big 4 Of Thrash from the 80's...the four being Slayer Megadeth Anthrax and Metallica. There were others that should have been included such as Exodus Overkill and Testament. ..all heavy 80's thrash bands that redefined the metal sound. Megadeth started when their guitarist and singer Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica right as Metallica signed a record deal. Dave wrote a good chunk of music Metallica used that he never got paid for such as the song The Four Horsemen...which in its original format was much faster...and called Mechanix. Dave then formed Megadeth and shit all over everything Metallica ever wrote with better composition and skill level. Dave can play Metallica's entire discography on guitar, but Metallica couldn't play Good Mourning / Black Friday or Holy Wars by Megadeth. That being said..Dave deserved getting kicked out of Metallica because he was an abrasive asshole and had drug and alcohol issues. Now he's old, Christian, has been diagnosed with throat cancer and we are pulling for him. Dave getting the boot from Metallica was a good thing for thrash. It raised the bar out of personal grievances and became competitive. Now we have two thrash bands rather than one. Both good..though Metallica went Bob Seger and aren't thrash anymore. Megadeth still kicking in teeth.

[@beachgirl4583]

“Abrasive assh0le” = Lars “Addiction” - James is back in rehab. Dave fit in. But, if they hadn’t split, we’d never have gotten Megadeth. Metallica died in the mid nineties.

No lyrics this time? Very relevant today as it was back when it was written.

[@glennkuhiajr1677]

Toneloke 3000 yes sir. This came out during desert storm and I thought Dave must be able to see into the future. And your correct still holds water to this day

[@GooseGumlizzard]

@@glennkuhiajr1677 came out during Desert Storm but the lyrics (and video) refer to the Intifada in Israel and the Troubles in Northern Ireland (at least the Holy Wars section)

[@rs8638]

Great reaction. So many great songs Train of Consequences, Foreclosure of a dream, Use the man, Trust, Peace Sells..... on and on

Megadeth - Hangar 18 or A tout le mondé!!

[@beachgirl4583]

In My Darkest Hour.

[@JungleScene]

A tout let monde is a tremendous song that never gets enough love in comment sections.

[@beachgirl4583]

The Graceful Savage, I agree. I listed it on my comment/suggestion. “Angry Again” doesn’t get suggested, but it should.

[@TheDretch]

Hanger 18 of course.

Jamel is one of the only KZbinrs that I can actually see myself grabbing lunch and hanging with. Great stuff brother!
