Megadeth: United Abomination (first time reaction)

[@TundraCH]

Metal bands usually feature guitarists more than vocalists

[@axolotl9114]

Very underrated album :c

[@Leozar]

Sleepwalker what a song...

[@ironhammer8935]

Sleepwalker got me into Megadeth. That song was on ps3 game Motorstorm Pacific Rift.

[@shmick6079]

Possibly my favourite post 2000 Megadeth song.

[@Leozar]

Yeah sleepwalker and washington is next that riff i can listen to it over and over and over........

[@pissedmetalhead]

A tout le monde featuring Christina scabbia (from lacuna coil) this album was a huge comeback for megadeth. Put them back on the map

[@AbelsColdSweat]

Bobby Cortez I love lacuna coil!

[@pissedmetalhead]

AbelsColdSweat I like about 3-4 songs. Good stuff

[@angryalanrants9574]

They never left the map

[@nickcolbert9615]

Probably my favorite post-millennium Megadeth record. I remember I was a pizza delivery guy in the summer of 07 when this came out and I listened to this album all summer cruising around town. Peace man! 🍻🤘🏻

[@jamesr550]

Nick Colbert I had the same exact experience delivering pizzas when System came out haha. This album crushes it though.

[@nickcolbert9615]

James Ratty right on. Us old time pie-slingers gotta stick together. Lol 🍻🤘🏻

[@shmick6079]

Nick Colbert lol I was listening to The World Needs a Hero when I was delivering pizzas.

[@nickcolbert9615]

Shmick ! Thrash metal helps you deliver faster! Everybody is a moto-psycho! One million miles an hour... 😏

[@jonathanlubarsky2782]

Lol he didn't remember A Tout Le Monde was on Youthanasia first...

[@SpiralDream]

Forgettable song

[@jonathanlubarsky2782]

SepticSchizo955 It's a good concept but everytime I hear the original it seems kind of boring and quiet. Some parts are great though.

[@SpiralDream]

Jonathan Lubarsky It's not even the fact that it was the ultimate sell out song, I never found it all that interesting. That goes for the album as well.

[@jonathanlubarsky2782]

Nobody in particular really Exactly... I hate when they say that

[@DarkNog]

Probably skipped it first time around

[@brandondeas1798]

If you want a collaboration, roadrunner records did a collab album with a lot of musicians from their label called roadrunner United. All original songs with guys that never played together. It features artists from Slipknot, devildriver, Trivium, etc. Every song is different, that would also help with suggestions on what you'd like and what you don't

[@TheFinerPrint]

Keep in mind, a tout le monde was in youthanasia - this is a remake.

[@MaverickMustaine]

The Finer Print original is superior

[@kthulhukif]

The one channel where I watch every single video the second I get notified! Keep up the awesome work 😁

[@SerpentineRob]

Another great reaction video, man! My recommendation for a band to toss into your draft bag is NEVERMORE. You will not be disappointed. Amazing vocal range by Warrel Dane who sadly passed away just a few months ago. And legendary guitarist Jeff Loomis always alongside the rest of these technically superior musicians. YouYouYou!!! will be singing into his hairbrush and playin' those strings. They've got lots of groove and can also shred.

[@alec666100]

Welcome to the album that restored my faith in the band again. :)

[@kisscsaba7989]

i never lost faith

[@TheKarret]

There's a project called Ayreon; it's ultimately the brain child of 1 guy, but it features multiple guest vocalists from handfuls of bands. On the most recent album alone, there were guest vocals from the vocalists of Dream Theater, Epica, Nightwish, Kamelot, Between the Buried and Me, Blind Guardian, Avantasia, Symphony X and a few others. Some of Devin Townsend's work has features, like the album Deconstructed as guest vocals from November's Doom, Opeth, Emperor, Between the Buried and Me [same as the one on the Ayreon album], Gojira, Cynic, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Nightwish, GWAR, as well as guest musicians from Soilwork and Meshuggah. Kamelot's also regularly featured guest vocalists from other bands such as Arch Enemy, Soilwork, Dimmu Borgir, and others. Another common thing for metal groups to do in terms of collabs is making "supergroups" where multiple members from other, often successful bands come together and have side projects, some examples being Killer Be Killed [has members from Mastodon, The Mars Volta, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Max Cavalera], Hellyeah [members from Mudvayne, Nothingface, Pantera, and a brother of a Mastodon member], Down [Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Superjoint Ritual, Goatwhore], Bloodbath [Opeth, Katatonia, Hypocrisy, Nightingale], Avantasia itself is a massive supergroup, A Perfect Circle [Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins], Five Finger Death Punch is apparently one [Motograter, UPO, Alice Cooper and WASP]. Off the top of my head I can remember Soilwork's vocalist also doing some guest vocals on a Demon Hunter song. So yeah~~ There is lots of collaboration! C:

[@TundraCH]

TheKarret Good shout, Ayreon doesn't get enough love

[@theicedevil]

You can add Avantasia on the list. Avantasia is a side project of German singer Tobias Sammet of the band Edguy. Avantasia features a lot of talent from the world of Metal and rock.

[@theicedevil]

My favorite ending on a Megadeth album is Countdown to Extinction. Seriously go back and listen to it again. Captive Honor and Ashes in Your Mouth are epic closers to an album.

[@Walamonga1313]

theicedevil I can't decide between My Last Words and Ashes In Your Mouth as best closers.

[@jekken333]

Wait till you hear how "dialectic chaos" transitioned to "this day we fight" on the next album

[@11DNA11]

Jek I fucking love that transition. It's a perfect 1-2 punch to start an album :)

[@reaIitybits]

Check out Slash's (guitarist for Guns N' Roses) solo album, he features many metal/rock singers.

[@johncase6227]

There is a band by David Draiman, the lead singer of Disturbed called Device, and he does a lot of features like The lead singer of Halestorm, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down, ect:

[@Varadiio]

Some metal bands like Therion have a lot of features. Kamelot has a few as well. It is less common, though.

[@jbedsted]

Dude skipped the original A Tout Le Monde and listened to the new one hahaha

[@henrycardenas2]

Hahaha, right. That, was funny.

[@Nitegasm]

I thought that was funny too haaaa!!

[@supergta128]

İ think he's also gonna not love new world order because he's sometimes very inconsistent.

[@slothkng]

For real his tastes seem to flip video to video sometimes

[@ziggocip]

I was pretty sure he'd skip it again, but nope, just got done hatin on Dave's vocals so I bet he felt a bit guilty. I for one am glad he caught it this time around.

[@zacherynicholascarter]

You're gonna LOVE Endgame, the next album. It's basically Rust In Peace Volume Two

[@mikepshena]

Zachery Nicholas I don't like Endgame at all but Rust In Peace is my #1 album of all time lol

[@oliverqueen9886]

I really enjoy your metal reaction videos lately with judas priest and megadeth. I also saw your metallica ones as well. After hearing your megadeth reactions, i really am interested in hearing some of these albums for the 1st time. Thank you for helping me learn more about megadeths albums.

[@DoominalCrossing]

Yeah I agree with you on the features part. They're definitely out there, especially on more modern albums, but they aren't anywhere near as frequent as Hip-Hop. Anyways, that was Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil (and the song itself as actually a new version of a song you hated on Youthanasia, which I think shows how much of an improvement it is lol)

[@jamesr550]

So in regards to your question, Metal s extremely popular overseas where EPs (mini records with a single and some bonus tracks) still sell. A lot of bands record songs with other artists, but they often release them as bonus tracks on EPs or limited deluxe box sets, ect. Sadly, many of them don't end up on the original album. There's some gems out there though.

[@Danielboi_247]

Next album in my opinion gets heavier

[@Maceta444]

You need to take into accout the fact that this band doesn't have a "singer". Dave mustaine is rythm and lead guitar AND sings while playing. Half of the solos you hear are executed by him. The riffs you hear while he sings are also being played by him. And he is also the songwriter for all songs. With all that he does for the sound of the band the sub-par vocals are more than forgiven.

[@shmick6079]

Maceta regardless, there’s nobody that could match the intensity and feeling of Mustaine’s vocals. Without those vocals there would be no Megadeth.

[@oliverqueen9886]

After seeing these videos i am actually interested in checking some of megadeths albums sometime.

[@Infeckted-mp4xp]

I don't mind Dave's vocals but drugs and alcohol definitely took a toll on his voice. His voice on the earlier albums was at least very emotive and snarly. He's not bad now but there's nothing about his vocals where I go "wow" they're just tolerable. Not everyone can be Rob Halford or David Draiman

[@oliverqueen9886]

Unknown Unknown whos david draiman? I saw judas priest this month in concert. Rob is still great at singing in his age and its amazing how he has 18 studio albums and still has a great voice in his old age. Most singers lose it in there 50s or 60s.

[@Walamonga1313]

Oliver Queen Hey you're that guy who's on many Judas Priest videos! Hope you've given Megadeth a chance by now.

[@quadrumvirate86]

10:08 he laughs just like the intro to Lucrecia

[@kuzniarito1542]

Vocalist of Judas Priest actually appears on FFDP 4th album, Vocalist of Iron Maiden appears on Halford's Resurrection album. Check it out, u wont regret :).

[@shmick6079]

Dżarko Wodór and the Iron Maiden vocalist also features on the Bruce Dickinson solo albums 😉

[@oliverqueen9886]

Dżarko Wodór the vocalist of judas priest also appears on in this moment 6th album.

[@DoominalCrossing]

Tech N9ne appears on that same album for the Mama Said Knock You Out cover

[@gravemike44]

There are actually tons of features. Ozzy had a couple of interesting ones - with Lemmy from Motorhead (I Ain't No Nice Guy) and with Lita Ford (If I Close My Eyes Forever).

[@supergta128]

Влад Музалевский also soulfy has duets with tom araya on terrorist and with david vincent on blood fire war hate.

[@childofbodom1314]

My favorite Megadeth album of the past 20 years

[@MaskedEnforcer]

Megadeth's lineup as of this album: Dave Mustaine - Lead/Rhythm Guitars & Lead Vocals Glen Drover - Lead Guitars & Backing Vocals Shawn Drover- Drums & Backing Vocals James LoMenzo - Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals The song "A Toute Le Monde (Set me free)" is a uptempo version remake of the same song off of the album "Youthanasia" . The song features Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia to complement Dave's voice on the song.

[@brandonacosta5312]

This reaction makes me appreciate this album alot more

[@sanfordfriedman136]

black sabbath please please please

[@RZAJW]

Shouldve been the first band imo

[@supergta128]

And this time camera's resolution is low :D. The resolution aside i recommend you to listen machine head if you like groovy and crunchy guitar riffs and long epic songs with big production their album unto the locust is a masterpiece i bet you like it so add this band into your bag.

[@Tarkess]

Features in metal are pretty rare but there's been more of them in the newer generations of metal music (I'd say the 2000s and forwards). You'll probably find a decent amount of tracks that have guest guitar solos (probably because they're quick to do nowadays, they just send the files to the guitarist and he records it from home and sends it back). That song you were talking about did have a female singer featured (Christina Scabbia), I think it's one of two features Megadeth ever did, David Draiman from Disturbed has a small vocal part in the song Dance In The Rain. But mostly they either form side projects / supergroups with other metal band members or stick to their own band.

[@sgthugostigiitz5935]

Metal bands rarely do have featured singers. The bands usually don't have "great" singers, and the music is more about the guitars and drums. But, Five Finger Death Punch has Rob Halford from Judas Priest and Maria Brink from In This Moment (on the same album). Rage Against the Machine had Maynard from Tool. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[@brandonacosta5312]

There are songs with features you just have to find them lol. Usually they are bonus tacks that are nowhere to be found on original albums or in any music streaming app

[@beragis3]

There are a few metal songs with features. Anthrax brought in Public Enemy. Five Finger Death Punch had Rob Halfred. Metalica had Marianne Faithfull. Godsmack had a guest female vocalist.

[@Soulwell90]

2nd favorite album by them behind Rust in Peace, this is a very underrated album

[@UsedNapkin3115]

For a second I thought you said Rust in Peace was underrated. I agree. This album is very underrated

[@adorjankiss407]

Check some While She Sleeps!

[@mjnation7876]

Great album. I have it on CD. I have a Megadeth Collection video on my channel. This album definitely has its fair share of underrated songs. I can't wait for Dystopia :)

[@shadyklawz7259]

Listen to the group "Ayreon", that's like the ultimate collaboration of singers and musicians. Iced Earth, Avantasia, Dream Theater, Blind Guardian, they all contribute, and many more.

[@MaverickMustaine]

Never walk alone is awesome

[@krebros5845]

All this time I've been waiting for the next album, we're close to Endgame

[@demonizer123]

There are a few feature vocalists on metal. Here are some examples: Epica ft. Floor Jansen (Nightwish, After Forever) - Sancta Terra Halford ft. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) - The one you love to hate Megadeth ft. Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) - A tout le monde. This one you just reacted to Avantasia ft. Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) - Farewell Blind Guardian ft. Kai Hansen (Helloween, Gamma Ray) - Valhalla Dio ft. Almost every 80's popular metal singer - We Are Stars. (This was done to raise funds for poor children) Bonus track: Anthrax ft. Public Enemy - Bring the noise. $100 you'll absolutely enjoy the fuck out of this track.

[@Joshb6498]

A lot of bands do collaborations with outside artists, “featuring” is just not often put in the song title.

[@zerocal636]

Queens of the Stone Age. Any album, they're all great.

[@silverblack5475]

1st.....its all thrash bro , you you you your a thrash metal fan o

[@immanuel_cunt7688]

Lol old Megadeth is pure thrash, this isn´t at all...Rust in peace is their last thrash album...this is just heavy metal! It´s also hilarious that he likes "a tout le monde" on this album, he skipped it immediately on youthanasia :D

[@KevinXmusic]

Eric Raphael I'm happy this gave him a second chance at the song, I think he was done with Youth like two songs in and just didn't care at that point.

[@74redMMA]

Eric Raphael wrong. This album and some others after rust in peace are thrash.

[@PJBonoVox]

Kevin Gasai I prefer it. It's a semitone higher than the original, a touch faster and Cristina's vocals fit it perfectly. This is the version I listen to if I want to hear this song.

[@lucasissa5536]

They still make some songs that are thrash

[@Alex-Tremonti]

You should do one day a band called Tremonti. Three awesome albums and the fourth to come out on june. I think you will like them /,,/

[@brandondeas1798]

Samsung needs to fix their video recording on this phone. It's obviously a software bug when it gets pixelated

[@supergta128]

Brandon Deas yeah the resolution on his phone is fucked :D.

[@0verpwned]

I doubt you'd like a tout le monde, but this album is great. Sleepwalker is a strong opening track, I'm 5 minutes in and its great you are enjoying it.

[@chrisa4284]

Love your reactions as ever - and also love seeing your musical tastes broaden as you become more amenable to some elements of the thrash sound. Your video is still glitching a little though - guess you still need a little time to get the new phone working optimally

[@Drescher1984]

The next one I feel is better, after that it seems like they say "this is going to well".

[@SplitVelvet2012]

Well...the ultimate metal "feature" was Hearing Aid- Stars back in 87 or whatever. Definitely worth listening to.

[@brandondeas1798]

Corey Taylor from Slipknot was featured on a soulfly album as well as damage plan

[@supergta128]

Brandon Deas also queensrcyhe have duets with pamela moore on suite sister mary and with ronnie james dio on the chase.

[@Matt_c333]

You definitely need to do Pagan's Mind.. they're pretty similar to dream theater, but they have more groove

[@cachofriki]

please do SYMPHONY X!!!!!

[@childofbodom1314]

Btw rock/metal bands do have features, just not as often as pop or hip hop.

[@brandonacosta5312]

208 likes 0 dislikes. U doing good man

[@jakejones4513]

There are features in Metal they're just very rare

[@brandonacosta5312]

SLAYER reaction!

[@scottcurtis6076]

Do halford he had a feature song with iron maiden singer ...the one you love to hate is the name of the song

[@kuzniarito1542]

Agree!

[@adameves5970]

Metal bands don't have features because they don't need them. The reason you see so many features in other genres is because they NEED outside input to successfully accomplish the sound they're looking for. I find it very refreshing when you look at the production credits of an album and it's just the band and a few tech guys. Instead of when you look at something like a rap album, you might see like 80...even 100 people on the production credits. It really tells you something when 5 people can make a better product than the work of 100.

[@supergta128]

Adam Eves exactly!.

[@shmick6079]

*sales (not sound)

[@adameves5970]

She didn't sing well. The original version is better.

[@whatchatalkinboutwillis9894]

Cool LAMB OF GOD next then BLACK SABBATH - Groovy I think you will enjoy them very much

[@KevinXmusic]

The next album is in my opinion the third best Megadeth album after Rust In Piece and Youthanasia. Endgame is fucking kickass!

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

sometimes ppl do guest solos on other bands songs

[@ziggocip]

Please add Testament to the draft!!

[@sergiofmp1996]

Machine head dude...

[@MultiLililililili]

black Sabbath, you'll love them

[@ZExperiences]

They collaborate a lot live. I believe for you to capture metal entirely you need to watch live performances on KZbin

[@burialofficial8913]

the beginning song kinda sounded like eye of the beholder in the start

[@JGGuitarCovers]

You need to do Protest The Hero or Lamb Of God after Megadeth

[@malemanjulpax2155]

Kreator is next. Its time to listen German's Best Metal Import.

[@nickicollis593]

Lamb of god please!

[@supergta128]

Nicki Collis also MACHİNE HEAD!!!!

[@brandondeas1798]

Oyunların Adamı he needs to get to the pocket of the really good machine head albums. I'm not sure he'll wait that long starting from the beginning

[@supergta128]

Brandon Deas he would definitely wait the long intros but i'm not really sure too so we'll see.

[@brandondeas1798]

Oyunların Adamı if he doesn't like a band he'll stop the marathon after 3 albums. I'd rather him start at through the ashes of empires

[@supergta128]

Brandon Deas i think he will like it the first 2 or 3 albums because they are groovy and crunchy like pantera but maybe the really hardcore sound would cut him off but i don't think he will doesn't like it.

[@MetalHead-vw5mz]

Check this one out, Rob Halford with Bruce Dickinson. The one you love to hate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYuvammmadiNras

[@SouthernCross_]

this album is really underrated

[@andrewcrawford4611]

Bruce Dickinson and rob halford did a song together

[@alejandro_ramirezSB]

Do Halford or Bruce Dickinson solo career, pure heavy metal (except for the 3 first Dickinson albums that are like rock, hard rock and things like that)

[@TheHeadhunter85]

Time to react to Black Sabbath!! ;)

[@VictoryBibleBaptist]

The feature is the girl from Lacuna Coil I believe. She did a good job it makes that track much better imo than the original. And to answer your question I'm not sure why there's not more features in metal, it just hardly ever happens. Next album will blow your sox off! Let's keep it going baby

[@VictoryBibleBaptist]

It's funny everytime a thrashier song comes on you always say "yall know how I feel about thrash metal". However u LOVED Rust in Peace which is pure thrash, all the songs. Lol

[@supergta128]

Trey yeah thats weird everytime i see when he dances to thrashy songs i was like "yeah he's finally learn how to dance to this songs" but then another thrashy songs comes on boom! He's like "you guys know how i feel about this thrash metal stuff"... And i don't understand...

[@seanwechsler6783]

The instrumentation on Endgame is mind blowing. I just hope Dave's old man vocals don't ruin it for him.

[@supergta128]

Sean Wechsler dave mustaine always mediocre on vocals but after this album it shows much more.

[@seanwechsler6783]

Oyunların Adamı I disagree on that first statement. Dave has excellent vocals in the first half of their catolog. I'd say Dave Mustaine and Joey Beladonna are the best vocalists of the thrash generation....and Overkill's vocalists is amazing too.

[@supergta128]

Sean Wechsler i mean he's great in the earlier albums but he has that weird high pitched rat like voice that is little irritating sometimes and now he's just medicre really but he's so great on countdown to extinction and youthanasia so i'll give it that.

[@seanwechsler6783]

Oyunların Adamı all in the eye of the beholder I guess. I enjoy the highs. His age shows terrible too much these days. I do wish they would hire a vocalist for the sake of sounding great in all aspects again. But I do understand it wouldn't be Megadeth without Dave as front man.

[@juankserrano968]

10 .09 LUCRETIA

[@boazbaruchin9085]

It was a feature :P

[@philipb3030]

A toute le mond ft Christina from lacuna coil

[@adityag.shandhilya1427]

The bass and drums will kill ...

[@Matkramer4]

Do protest the hero next please

[@thrashrattlehead4548]

you cant leave Drover out of a majority of those azz kickin riffs...it's not always just Dave

[@harrycook9041]

The problem with doing features in Metal is the actual sonic space required. You can't do this entire band featuring this entire band because it's hard enough to mix metal as it is, if you have a guitarist or a singer, like Know Your Enemy feat. Maynard James Kennan (the singer of Tool) by RATM, you can do it, but mixing possibly 4 guitars, 2 basses, 2 drums and 2 singers and it sound clear is basically impossible.

[@Tarkess]

This is probably why most "features" in metal are just guest guitar solos. Instead of the lead guitarists playing a solo they'll sometimes get a guest to lay down a solo without it really messing with anything the band has going.

[@Drescher1984]

Volbeat has a shit ton of feature artists.

[@nickp3949]

You skipped Blessed Are the Dead, one of Megadeth's most underrated songs and a true gem. Glad you liked the album though. This album is my #6 Megadeth album.

[@calvinlalremsanga2777]

Washington is next!!! I wish Dave would play this again live but I also wish he doesn't go back to his occult days again🤦
