[@RTLV787]

Y’all geeking off on this song makes me so happy

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

Yeah, one's own beginnings are reflected in the new metalhead's enthusiasm. It makes nostalgic, reminds you of those moments where you discovered Metal and how it can move you... and it reignites the love for the music when you see people discovering it. On top of that it adds to your own understanding, because each time you get a new perspective on the matter and you might see something in a song that you always missed, even though you've been listening to it for a decade or more. And there's so much more stoff for the LIV boys to discover.... crazy stuff like Satyricon's Rebel Extravaganza, one of Metal's weirdest and coolest albums... just in general a lot of cool stuff in that sweet zone where Black Metal mixes with all kinds of other styles... "Blackened Death Metal" bands could be something the two enjoy... etc. etc. etc. just sooo much stuff to listen to :D

[@Herringboner]

Same man!! I was 14 when I heard this back in 88. Was good then and is still awesome.

MAD props for picking up on the Jazz overtones in this song. Chris Poland & Gar Samuelson, the Lead guitarist & drummer of this lineup, were both Jazz musicians who'd played in a Jazz-Fusion band called The New Yorkers. Mustaine recruited them for their virtuoso playing, which, combined with the Thrash, was something no one had ever heard before.

[@CASSIUSleedy]

Arcanuman1 was thinking the same thing. This is why I love this channel bc they pay attention to the fundamental sounds of each instrument... they’re not experts on the genre but they have great ears to pick up on shit

Arcanuman1 Yeah, unbelievable musicianship. as a drummer I can say that Gar was an immense drummer.

[@Neo-Midgar]

@ Absolutely. Have you heard the new remix of Killing Is My Business that came out last year? Not a fan of the '04 remix, but that one is incredible. You can hear just how much Gar was losing his shit, especially on Rattlehead.

[@Neo-Midgar]

@@CASSIUSleedy Yep. Thery're true students of music. There's a lot of these 'reaction channels' where all they do is insane, over the top attention-getting antics. These guys are legit & 100% honest. They're not afraid to tell you their true opinion. On Patreon they did a review of Pink Floyd's Dogs, which is my favorite song by them, & they pretty much hated it, & weren't shy about admitting it. I have tons of respect for that.

Arcanuman1 yeah, i am hardcore maiden fan but it annoys me that megadeth should be more popular than metallica because the megadeth is much more talented band

These guys are amazing with their perception of Megadeth music. They actually listen not just hear. I love their reactions. LONG LIVE MEGADETH AND LOST IN VEGAS

if you go back and watch the videos in chronological order, if you haven't already, you can see them grow in their ability to perceive styles of music they weren't accustomed to. They become more and more informed, and their observations seem like something only long time fans might notice. it's pretty impressive.

There was actually a very subtle shift a measure before that "abrupt" transition that you loved (go back and listen for it and you'll catch it 14:10-14:12, they break the galloping riff to give you a touch of the transition). It sets your brain up so subtly that you really need to be listening for it to realize what it's doing. After that, your ear has been trained to anticipate the transition, so they can just hit you with it, and you know it's there. It's ridiculously meticulous attention to detail.

I'm 38 and finally worked my way up to playing some of the lead stuff, been too lazy to really dive in and learn more of it with my busy lifestyle. Pretty much anyone can learn this stuff with some dedication to the instrument, and especially with the internet to help. But...the *_real_* talent lies in the songwriting/composition skills, which Dave and co. masterfully display here, and of course on all the early Deth albums. These guys were unbelievably talented for such a young age...and especially with all the drugs they were doing. I absolutely love Dave's inimitable wild style/tone. Never heard anything quite like that. And of course the rest of the band members. Gar and Chris were both equally amazing, and Ellefson's bass really stands out on this album for me. First 4 albums are my favorite.

[@frnaglfr5243]

Megadeth is my all time favorite metal band. They're the ones that sent me down the rabbit hole. Its great to see you guys appreciate them so much Fun fact, the drummer and lead guitarist, Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland, respectively, were jazz trained musicians. Its awesome that you can hear that influence in there

[@an_38kitkashyap]

Bands like Annihilator and Megadeth should be more likely be called as prog thrash metal. Just Thrash is quite a simple name for these bands.

[@jaymzb.1713]

I was just going to write that very thing about Gar (R.I.P.) & Chris. You've stolen my thunder lol.

[@leerobbo92]

Me too. No matter how far down the rabbit hole I go, I always come back to them too. Rust in Peace is the only album I religiously go back to every couple of months.

[@an_38kitkashyap]

@@leerobbo92 It was the Scorpions that started my journey into the world of hard rock and metal. When I discovered thrash metal, I really got carried away into their agression and intensity. Discovering Glam metal shredding however, made their guitar playing kind of lame to me, except for bands like Megadeth, Teastement, Annihilator, who proved that you can be both technical and agresive at the same time.

[@222MovieMan]

Exactly. Even these two noticed it because they mentioned the groove and the jazzyness in the song.

[@ericmiller8634]

WHATS UP MY BROTHERS I REMEMBER THIS WAY BACK IN THE DAY I WAS A WEIRD BLACK BROTHA WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH METAL!!!!!

[@gary2kr1]

2 yrs later and I still come back to this reaction. You 2 are funny as hell. Keep kicking ass

[@onearmdaddy]

Really insightful self-aware commentary at the end. You help me find new ways of appreciating songs I've known for years.

[@Mike_O_Negative]

The coolest thing about this channel is when I get to relisten to bands/songs in a new light that I heard years ago and wasn't too impressed by for whatever reason. I've heard this song before but I somehow missed so many cool parts of it that I might've never caught without a video like this. Same with Blackwater Park, which I heard years ago and remember thinking it was an okay song but not too special. How wrong I was

[@evanwest4751]

I loved blackwater park before, but after their video it's become one of my all time favorite songs.

[@frnaglfr5243]

I think that might have more to do with you developing more of an ear for metal. There are plenty of bands/songs that I didn't like when I first listened, but upon revisit in a couple years later, they were brilliant

[@geofre44]

“Megadeth is really no joke” 9:39 Correct

[@andrescanales9719]

Well now they kinda are but back then they definitely weren’t

[@vosman86]

Andres Canales Dystopia was awesome and they won a Grammy...soooo....yeah

[@andrescanales9719]

Brian Vos Like Grammies actually mean anything

[@666killatcommand]

@@vosman86 A Grammy? So Fuckin what. As a metal fan that's not to be bragged about. Metal is anti any of that nonsense. You play metal from the heart, not for awards. I love megadeth but they haven't put out an album in years as far as I'm concerned.

[@vosman86]

John Ryan Have you heard Dystopia? You don’t think Poisonous shadows or The threat is real or Fatal illusion are good songs? The new album is a full metal assault. High quality as far as I’m concerned. The Grammy doesn’t necessarily mean anything your correct about that. But the album is really good

[@97warlock]

Best megadeth album ever imo

[@shredmaster2009]

Glad you liked this one, always found it underrated! You guys should do “In My Darkest Hour” also from Megadeth.

[@DuaneL1961]

shredmaster2009 In My Darkest Hour was the closest thing to a kick ass ballad they had until A Toute la Monde came along...

[@xD-ri5hn]

I wanted you guys to react to "Good Mourning/black friday", but hell, this is a beautiful gem.

[@lebraunnewkirk2765]

xD they will like Good Mourning but not Black Friday.

[@jasonseth376]

David “Junior” Ellefson. Bass player extraordinaire

[@michaeldenny6851]

This song has been giving me riff-gasms since I was 14 when it hit the shelves.

[@adolpholiverbush2]

Some of the best moments on this channel is when the music is going, and you two are talking among yourselves, not even audible, but you can tell that you all are impressed. And where you say "Jazzy?" That's perfect. Chris Poland, the real bad ass lead player you were praising, is a huge jazz guy. Another fine reaction.

[@butchvito]

This whole album is a masterpiece. Devil's Island and Good Mourning/Black Friday are a must.

[@TobyKBTY]

THIS! Devil's Island is crazy.

[@Sensecommon557]

It's a top 20 all time heavy album in my opinion and I've been a head since the early 80s

[@kitoyobeni1]

Rust In Peace is a shred masterpiece, and Countdown To Extinction may be their commercial high point, but Peace Sells to me IS Megadeth.

[@zorn1745]

kitoyobeni1 agree

[@mirvang]

The same for me

[@tableslam]

The difference is Gar & Chris vs Nick & Marty

[@happydude2163]

Totally agree. Love So far, So good too.

[@plciferpffer3048]

Same here. Maybe because it was the first megadeth album I ever heard back in 87, and I loved to back then. Still do.

[@user-cn9iy9kg5j]

love your reaction videos. i just love that someone appreciates my favourites as much as i do!! you really point out things i didn't even noticed before and i'm like WOOOOOOWWW NOOO WAAY it makes me love this music even more

[@thedangler1371]

This music was a huge rebellious form of music for kids growing up in the 1980s. I use to buy albums because of the art work. I struck out with many and grown to love others. Killer music that is being lost. Young people don’t have the attention span to like music that has more then 3 changes.

[@zemekiel]

You should def check out Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour. One of their finest songs in that era.

[@chrisb2535]

As long as they listen to the original mix.

[@ianbarrett4166]

zemekiel my darkest hour 🙄

[@matthewbyrd398]

The drummer and lead guitarist actually came from a jazz-fusion background.

[@georgemarko8403]

The whole album is jazz metal in my ears.

[@TheBiddy100]

Yup, Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland were both in the same jazz-fusion band prior to joining Megadeth.

[@DushyantsCHANNEL]

Yeah but that lead guitar part here is all Mustaine

[@maratb2684]

No other artist/band or song brought so much emotions out of you as this song did. I keep re-watching it every now and then.

[@timbeatty8411]

I've qa you do this reaction 20 times in the last year and still love it. Great job!

[@TheGreatDansby]

You'd love the breakdown in the opening track "wake up dead"

[@shawnc666]

Awesome Reaction... Next is "Wake Up Dead" on the same album!!!!

[@vietnamd0820]

Shawn Chamberlain Definitely 👍

[@HammSilv]

Had the same thought. They'll crap their pants with the tempo changes.

[@mykotron]

They're gonna lose it on wake up dead.

[@JCSubs]

Agree!

[@666killatcommand]

It's so good to watch you analysing and appreciating the detail to this song. Really great channel you created .

[@Metal_Lifer]

My favourite song of all time, it was awesome to see you guys really enjoy it for how good it really is! You guys really nailed it!

[@11DNA11]

I've heard this song countless times over the course of 30 years. And it STILL hits me, each time i hear it.

It's their best album start to finish.

[@lonniusmaximus3836]

Ryan, if you like those buildups, “Ashes in Your Mouth” off Countdown to Extinction will be your jam. It’s REAL nasty!

[@bryanbereal]

I say this on all of their Megadeth reactions... Yesss! That's their best song, seriously. Highly underrated, for whatever reason. It's goddamn amazing!

My fav Megadeth song

Ashes in your mouth yes. Countdown to extinction hell no......metal face😤

[@11DNA11]

Ashes is a one big buildup :)

[@Bloodytanto]

I work a job that keeps me busy every day of every week. But, listening to your videos gives me goosebumps like it did when I first listened to these songs because of the fact that you guys always bring that energy and appreciation when it is the good stuff. I find myself "toetapping" whenever I watch you two. Keep up the good work guys!

[@MuddyRavine]

Thanks for your vids guys, great stuff. This came out when I was 16, and some songs get forgotten or I lose track of them, or I've listened to a song so many times I've forgotten why I liked it in the first place. But watching y'all react to these great songs makes it feel like I'm listening for the first time as well and I get that rush I got when I first listened. Thanks!

[@killer1one1]

Megadeth absolutely is, and has always been, an "all-star" team. Love em or hate em, every lineup has had A-tier musicians 🤘

[@ToneBone24]

So far so god so what? Nah

[@the_illegitimate_jedi3479]

I'll take this lineup over any other though.

[@netrioter]

@@the_illegitimate_jedi3479 Rust In Peace lineup was one hell of a comeback. I liked so far,so good,so what but it sounded like they had angry cicadas for guitars.Gar and Chris was the lineup though..even with the bands massive drug problems

[@the_illegitimate_jedi3479]

@@netrioter agreed. Gar and Chris were the best.

[@TheAskald]

Some people say that the all star team lacks a vocalist (even if I don't agree)

[@zombiexbunny]

Finally!! 😍 David Ellefson is the bassist ❤ (a big influence of mine). This album has so many great thrash songs. I'm so glad you revisited it, and with this song! 💞 that's one of the things I love about your channel - you get me excited about these older songs that I haven't listened to in a long time. Usually after a reaction like this, I binge the artist for a few days and rediscover all the awesome songs I forgot about over the years.

[@MetalomaniacDude]

I love how you guys enjoyed reviewing this song!! Great vibes!

[@genekrupafan]

I love these guys. This is my favourite thrash song, ever, and watching this two flip out over it is heart warming for me. Reminds me of how I felt when I first heard it in the 90s!

[@systematic11]

Dave Mustaine has a lot of riffs that sit comfortably in a swing/jazzy kind of feel. This one is definitely one of those. Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson were both Jazz fusion artists as well, so I think that's how this song came about. It's really a masterpiece if you think about it. They build the intro into the main thrash idea, which eventually transitions into the groove riff. Then, they combine the 2 by stomping back into the thrash riff and cap it off with the groove riff. That's flat out disgustingly well written.

[@nathanbaca5131]

My favorite Megadeth song. I've never clicked a notification so fast.

[@kevinmitchell4018]

I have come back to watch this reaction multiple times all the way through just because of the pure enjoyment of the part where the "song is transforming" as you say. This is my favorite song reaction. Love your content!

No words to express how great this is!! Thank you for pointing out new angles to hear -- I grew up on Megadeth and now I'm going back to listen to this from a new place!
