[@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.

[@Neo-Midgar]

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

[@bobmoretti4893]

People can say whatever they want about Dave Mustaine, his voice, his attitude, etc, but there is NO denying his talent as a songwriter and guitarist is in the top tier level of the metal world. Fuel that with Chris Poland, Ellefson, Marty, Gar, Nick, Kiko, etc over the years... love this band, seen them 4 times live and look forward to my 5th.

Franco Kcy0 Although Dave is far from the best metal singer I absolutely prefer him over most generic scream/growl/ metal singers. Dave has a unique voice and it causes Megadeth to have a unique sound which makes them more memorable than all of the cut and paste metal bands with the generic “deep voice” singer Megadeth would sound better with James Hatfield Phil Amselmo or Chuck Billy though.

Chris Poland, lead on this album...Dave said himself that Chris could play circles around him. I know all the talent Megadeth has had over the many years with Marty and Nick and all but my favorite lineup has always been Dave, Junior, Gar and Chris.

Marty actually used the solos written by Chris Poland for Rust In Peace as a guide. Many don’t realize Chris played on the demos for Rust In Peace. To me Chris is the best guitarist Megadeth have ever had...

"THE CONJURING" Lyrics and Music by Dave Mustaine Dave Mustaine: lead vocals/guitar David Ellefson: bass/backing vocals Gar Samuelson: drums Chris Poland: guitar (All guitar solos by Mustaine) Welcome to our sanguinary sect of worship Feel at home in our black conventicle As we anathematise All those who oppose us Don't summon the devil Don't call the priests If you need the strength The conjuring Obey! Behold, the flames rise From the compass's cardinal points Burn the sacred oil And with the ashes you'll annoint Arrange the symbols Of the wizard and magician Light the candles Place the parchment paper in position Between its leaves place The lash from a black cat's eye A straw of a broom Fold and burn and centralize Don't summon the devil Don't call the priests If you need the strength Then conjure me I am the devil's advocate A salesman, if you will You know my name You know my name I met your father years ago Gave him what he'd please He called my name And you'll do the same I'm claiming what is mine by right It's time to close the deal You're bought and sold Bought and sold Come join me in my infernal depths Mephisto's Hall of Fame I've got your soul I've got your soul The conjuring Obey!

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.

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.

[@Tarryk]

I keep coming back to this reaction. It is, in all honesty, the greatest reaction to any metal song ever. I usually hate it when people "pause" during reaction, but every single time you pause I'm like "no no, we need to talk about this again, GO!" Just infectious delight.

As a sophomore album this was a huge step in the songwriting of Dave Mustaine. You don't get a classic like Rust In Peace without the steps he took here. This song really displays it well. Drummer Gar Samuelson (RIP) had a jazz background and you hear it in the way he brought out the swing in bassist Dave Ellefson's playing. You hear it more from Dave with Gar than with any other drummer. And Chris Poland could really thrash along with Dave. So glad you guys enjoyed this one. I can't wait for more Megadeth!
