Not even 4 minutes long but holy shit this was such a sophisticated song. Key changes, tempo changes, multiple solos, chromaticism, there’s a reason why Dave stood out, his musicianship at that age was already phenomenal

When I wss a teen, both Metallica and Megadeth were at the top of my listening pile. Now as a man pushing his 50's, I tend ro rank Megadeth just a little higher on the riffs alone, and it makes me realize who really was the driving force behind early Metallica. I now know who the inspiration truly was behind Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning and Master. The riffs don't lie.

soundtrack of my youth still one of my favorite songs to this day🎸

[@The_Crow78.]

and one of the best video clips too 🎥🎬✔️

[@davidesquivel5194]

Yeah, to me too, dude!!

[@wallbrown1876]

One of the best songs ever made and that’s it.

[@poooooooooop3322]

Id do just about anything to be Dave for a day in the 80s.

[@sweetmelody4610]

+poooooooooop you mean a guy who had a serious drug problem?

[@poooooooooop3322]

The Chratheostic Yes.

[@nickfanzo]

3:31 right side, a guy with a "Metallica" shirt in a "Megadeth" video xD

[@METALLVIXLUN]

+Caco Iglesias Dave actualy played on "no life til leather"

[@gilsaraiva2830]

+Metall Dave didn´t play shit for Metallica. Hetfield did everything and his name is there cause he did some noise stuff he called solos, the drug addict loser

[@butterfly0277]

+Caco Iglesias Maybe he liked Dave Mustaine better than Metallica?

[@EricJaegerMusic]

+Gil Saraiva ok dude, even Metallica would call you a fruit bag

[@gilsaraiva2830]

+Br Valio Why?

[@Freelight000005]

This is Megadeth classic, but everytime I listened to the lyrics, I can't help but to smile & laugh, because I imagined it in a funny way.

[@ascendancy4900]

Legendary. Megadeth was the sole reason i picked up a guitar and started playing.

[@KeremcanBuyuktaskin]

This is like progressive metal, when it wasn't invented yet. Pure musical genius!

[@osiruskat]

Iron Maiden, Fates Warning, Rush etc.

@@todessehnsucht Yeah I loved Watchtower with Billy White.

[@DiceStrike]

That has to be one of the sickest riffs.. still get goosebumps everytime!!

[@maxim54321]

Crazy to think this was released in 1986!. I think i first heard it around 89 when I was 14 .The Album is a classic and holds so many memories of that time.

[@sdthor27]

When I was a senior in high school, this video was the absolute wildest thing out there. It still holds its own after all those years.

[@juliotironi7694]

3:32 Dude in metallica shirt

[@abhineetkakati366]

Sus

[@gregvannoy]

One of the best Megadeth songs of all time.

[@tonymaurice4157]

Dave is a genius

[@johnnyfountainS]

It's a hit.

[@linkincode]

Still listening to Megadeth

[@fin78_]

2:49 I fucking love the way it speeds up again just to go straight to the breakdown.

[@dman1737]

Love the guy getting thrown on stage at 3:07!

[@saliimOu]

dave killed em all with this song, so many riffs that could creat easily 5 songs

[@Love-Sensibility]

3:00 This right here, is why its called "Wake Up Dead"

[@tyrannosaurusinf1488]

There's so much metal in this song they could not fit in any more lyrics.

[@MrBibbityBop]

This music vid is metal as fuck. The 80s through 90s were golden.

[@iemandanders2577]

+MrBibbityBop some times i wish i was there :(

[@markcheetah4960]

Man, this song has the best "groove" in it

[@ianlongshore]

This song is so killer! I love the spider chord technique!

[@symbiotesam3562]

This is one of those songs you could literally play on repeat for hours. It’s short, heavy, and the riffs are catchy as hell. Such an awesome song!

[@ElMamuco]

3:35 its Vic rattlehead

[@sapere_aude525]

Yes.

[@yearginclarke]

Why does no one mention how badass the solos are? The first two solos are what you call "face melting" quality solos, I love how he uses the pinch harmonic whammy bar on the first one. Just instantly melts you into another realm, simply phenomenal.

[@anaflaviaramos2076]

“So how much chaos do you want in the video?” *Yes*

[@Fishbone77]

Best video era ever. Was born in 77 and had this in VHS. Awesomeness at it’s very finest

[@whereisevan]

The original version of this song was about people who sleepwalk and raid the refrigerator. It was called Wake Up Fed.

[@chadlexmark4595]

+Evan S Let me guess?.... A Weird Al Yankovic song.

[@lukenotskywalker2957]

+Chad Lexmark No.... But it should be.. He might actual do a pretty good Megadeth parody.

[@whereisevan]

+nate brooks hahaha yes!

[@jphillips8247]

I think it was about his uncle that had sleep apnea name Fred

[@titantron5840]

@N8 The Gr8 Nah i always crept into other peoples' fridges.

[@joeyharris3951]

The 3:00 min mark is the best time of the song. Bar none!!!!!!

[@rajdeepganguli2274]

Joey Harris I broke my neck twice last year headbanging to that shit.

[@far2d28]

Hands down probably still my favorite song by these stellar members of the big 4

[@JujuMujuTv]

"Wake up Dead" is not a song, it's a manifestation of The Metal itself!

[@LANGI902]

Easily in the top 50 metal songs ever recorded.

[@cowboygeorge5056]

[@RombusEvilBones]

1:24 best riff of all time

[@machello9]

Dave confessed that everyone in this video couldn't even speak because of cocaine, 'cause they were so high that they were ready to destroy everything

[@nuhakaze689]

At least four of them had no coke whatsoever. Dave is the hyped out cokehead.

[@mikemcfatridge5295]

Exellent

[@pauliescott]

I never understood people that did coke coke for energy or whatever. It immediately socks your personality out then 20 minutes later your just fiending for more. Horrible shit. Don't do drugs kids. Actual really sound advice.
