Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour (Official Music Video)

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

One of the greatest metal songs ever written and recorded, in my humble opinion. When a song can make you headbang, get pissed, and want to cry and tell your family how much you love them all at the same time....you got something special.

[@LoLo-fj8iu]

This literally is the best description of the song.

[@H.E.M.]

Why these guys never got as big as Metallica I’ll never understand. Is enter sandman that good?!

@@H.E.M. Metallica is a lot more maninstream, so they naturally will get more attention than megadeth

[@rinahunter6679]

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

Although I'm pretty sure the crowd is staged. By the look of the people and the intensity, I'd say it's a punk/metal crossover crowd, one that you would typically find at a DRI or Suicidal Tendencies show in the 80s, not Megadeth.

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119I would beg to differ. Those who showed up to a Megadeth show at this time most certainly had this energy.

I'm bored so I'm gonna be ranking stage dives 0:01 Pretty solid, bit of a fumble but still pretty good 4.5/5 2:08 Solid landing onto the crowd, a bit boring but well done 4/5 2:13 Really solid landing and bonus points for landing on his feet 4.5/5 2:15 Excellent dive, but he missed the landing terribly (hope he's ok) 2/5 2:29 The cannonball, those are a bitch to try and catch but he still did alright 2.5/5 3:00 (Guy in front of Dave) Good jump, a cannonball but the crowd were still able to catch him 4.5/5 3:00 (Front flip) Now that's a dive! Not only did he nail the flip but the crowd were able to catch him 5/5 3:00 (1st white shirt) Pretty alright dive, crowd caught him, probably landed on his feet 3.5/5 3:00 (2nd white shirt) Couldn't see the full thing but it seemed a bit awkward but alright 3/5 3:02 Not much of a dive, but a solid mini cart wheel 2/5 3:10 Again not much of a dive but it seemed meh 2/5 3:13 A low angle dive, very hard to pull off but he did good 3.5/5 3:14 Excellent jump, couldn't see the full thing but I'm sure he stuck the landing 3.5/5 3:15 Good dive, a bit of a fumble but he seemed to stuck the landing 3/5 3:19 Pretty sure its the same guy from 3:02 lol but it seemed like a decent dive but awkward landing 2.5/5 3:33 Another cannonball but he landed it 3/5 3:40 The side dive! Risky, but fun. Couldn't see the full thing but it seemed alright 2.5/5 3:43 Another side dive, tons of air, and stuck the landing! 4.5/5 3:52 (Flannel) Really awkward, fumbled and didn't stick the landing 1/5 3:52 (Baseball shirt) Good height and good jump and stuck the landing 3.5/5 3:52 (White shirt in the back) A good side dive but didn't stick the landing 3/5 3:52 (Boots) Seemed decent but couldn't see the whole thing 2.5/5 3:53 (White shirt) An alright side dive, awkward landing but still pretty alright 3/5 4:01 (Blue pants) Awkward landing and got consumed alive lol but it was alright 2.75/5 4:01 (White shirt) Average dive, idk about landing but seemed ok 2/5 4:07 Good dive/mini crowd surf, and then he got eaten alive lol 3.5/5 4:20 That was fucking awesome! Good height, good air, good flip! 5/5 4:23 A textbook dive, good landing and good dive 3/5 4:28 An ok dive seemed like they landed it tho 2.5/5 4:38 (Black shirt) Awkward fall but wasn't their fault 2.5/5 4:38 (Jean Jacket) Man must suck being in the middle of that tornado but again awkward fall but not their fault 2.5/5 4:38 (Baseball shirt) That was fucking dope! Did like a kicking jump, and it seems he landed it 5/5 4:56 (Boots) Good dive, and stuck the landing 3/5 4:57 Party foul man! 0/5

For me, this ranks as Megadeths greatest ever composition. It may not have the aggressiveness of other Megadeth songs from Rust In Peace/Peace Sells but its unrivalled imo in the way its layered and structured from its Hard Rock opening to its Thrash Metal ending after the 'I walk alone into the promised land' lyrics. Its a gem of a track in what is a really underappreciated album.

[@RustInPeace1990]

Yup, best megadeth song from lyrics and composition and i love the album.

[@eiredalta]

I was a huge megadeth fan, listened to their whole discography and listened solely to megadeth everyday. Then I moved to dream theatre and king crimson and got addicted to the complex structures and deep meaning of the lyrics. In that stage I got bored with every megadeth song except this one. Is also one of my favourite songs of all time to (try) play on the guitar.

In my hour of need, Ha, no, you're not there And though I reached out for you, Wouldn't lend a hand Through the darkest hour, Your grace did not shine on me Feels so cold, very cold, No one cares for me Did you ever think I get lonely? Did you ever think that I needed love? Did you ever think, stop thinking You're the only one that I'm thinking of? You'll never know how hard I tried To find my space and satisfy you too Things will be better when I'm dead and gone Don't try to understand, knowing you, I'm probably wrong But, oh how I lived my life for you, Till you'd turn away Now, as I die for you, My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name All these years, thought I was wrong, Now I know it was you Raise you head, raise your face, your eyes, Tell me who you think you are? I walk, I walk alone To the promised land There's a better place for me But it's far, far away Everlasting life for me In a perfect world But I got to die first, Please God send me on my way Time has a way of taking time Loneliness is not only felt be fools Alone, I call to ease the pain, Yearning to be held by you Alone, so alone, I'm lost, Consumed by the pain The pain, the pain, the pain Won't you hold me again You just laughed, ha-ha, you bitch My whole life is work built on the past, The time has come when all things shall pass, This good thing passed away Source: LyricFind

I walk, I walk alone Into the promised land There's a better place for me But it's far, far away Everlasting life for me In a perfect world But I gotta die first Please God send me on my way Time has a way of taking time Loneliness is not only felt by fools Alone I call to ease the pain Yearning to be held by you, alone, so alone, I'm lost Consumed by the pain The pain, the pain, the pain Won't you hold me again You just laughed, ha, ha, bitch My whole life is work built on the past But the time has come when all things shall pass This good thing passed away In my darkest hour

I grew up with Dave M. And I'm now 50 and I'm still loyal and dedicated to Megadeth and they still are One of the best heaviest bands Ever. Thanks Dave.

[@dublinvids5146]

Mid 40's and went to Megadeth here in Dublin few years back. Thought the crowd would be all 30 and 40 somethings reliving our youth but no, good 60% of the crowd were teenagers and 20 somethings. Can't think of genre other than metal where old bands still attract a young audience, but anyway, time has taken it's toll on me, my days of stage diving and moshing I left back in the late 80's and early 90's, so I was just chillin on the precipice of the crowd, enjoying the young crowd go nuts to In My Darkest Hour's gear change mid song, wishing I was young again so I could join them when a bunch of young scamps shoved a bunch of us 40 somethings right into the thick of things... and there was there was no escape. It was either join with the mosh pit shenanigans or dislocate a hip... so for one last time I joined in and for 90 seconds or so I almost felt young again.

[@martech360]

some of Dave's best vocal work. He was better when he was high.

[@Gregbaltzer]

Dave wrote this song right after he found out about Cliff dying. Dave doesn't need drugs to write his best music, he just needs more of Metallica's bass players to die.

Guys, it's really not rocket science. The MUSIC (the riffs, solos, etc) were written because of Cliff's death. The LYRICS are about Mustaine's at the time girlfriend

Dave Mustaine wrote this song to cliff burton when he passed away. Megadeth and Metallica are two great bands Just stop fighting a war between them🤫🤫

[@gabifrancis7414]

He began crying, and through the tears came up with "In My Darkest Hour." Burton's death was the inspiration for this song, but the lyrics are not directly about him, as the song is about remaining true to your friends and being there in their time of need.

It's "In my hour of *NEED,"* not *"weed*" (as in *marijuana),* you idiot! Besides, this is Megadeth's own tribute to his former *Metallica* bass-playing bandmate *Clifford Lee "Cliff" Burton,* whom frontman *Dave Mustaine* wrote after hearing that Burton was tragically *killed in a tour bus crash* during the European leg of the *Damage, Inc. Tour* just outside *Ljungby, Sweden* at around *5:30 A.M.* on *Saturday, September 27th, 1986.* His surviving former bandmates -- drummer *Lars Ulrich,* Mustaine's replacement guitarist *Kirk Hammett,* and rival frontman *James Hetfield* -- ...deditaced their song *"To Live Is to Die"* on *"...And Justice for All" (1988)* ...in memory of the fallen bassist and recruited former Flotsam and Jetsam bassist *Jason Newsted* into Metallica's lineup until January of 2001, when Newsted left the band in pursuit of his side project *Echobrain* (and following the controversial lawsuit Ulrich filed against *Napster* for *illegal distribution of copyrighted music,* *racketeering,* *illegally pirating unfinished music,* etc. in April of 2000 while working on the song *"I Disappear"* for the *"Mission: Impossible II"* soundtrack), and *Robert Trujillo* took his place in early 2003 during production of the album *"St. Anger."*
