NEVER HEARD THESE GUYS BEFORE! | Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due | FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@leftinashes]

In certain circles "Rust in Peace" is considered the holy grail of thrash metal albums!

[@palskee]

I'll definitely have to react to those!

[@Fawkes318]

It should be in all circles. This is the best thrash album, top to bottom. It's not close.

I saw the world premiere of this video on Headbangers Ball in 1990 when I was 18. When Marty starting soloing it was quite a game changer. Nobody else sounded like that he brought a whole new lead guitar language to metal table

Ah, yes, my favorite Megadeth song- =D Glad you enjoyed it! They're quite a bit lighter, but have you heard of Def Leppard? Rick Allen, The Thunder God is my favorite drummer. Dude is an absolute inspiration.

[@theslay66]

These are the bare essentials from the 80-90's era, you can't claim you're a metalhead if you don't know at least those albums : Metallica : Ride the lightning, Master of puppets. Slayer : Reign in blood, Season in the abyss. Megadeth : Rust in peace. Judas Priest : Painkiller. Iron maiden : Number of the beast. Also, my personal pick of other albums to check : Sepultura : Arise, Chaos A.D, Roots. Iron maiden : Seventh son of a seventh son, Somewhere in time, Powerslave. Metallica : And justice for all... Pantera : Cowboys from hell. Helloween : Keeper of the seven keys part II, Time of the oath. Another band to check, not really metal (more like hard rock) but still absolutely essential old-timer to know : AC/DC (but you certainly already have heard some of it, at least Back in black or Thunderstruck). And finaly, not metal at all but essential for any guitar lover : Pink floyd.

[@bluwlvrine]

Go listen to this entire album straight through right now

[@palskee]

I would but I like the suspense of doing them one by one lol. I'll eventually get through the album. I think I'll do separate reactions but go the whole way through.

As a youngster in the 1980s I loved Twisted Sister and would watch MTV for hours on end waiting for one of their videos to play. About 40 years later I discovered their live at North Stage concert on KZbin and was absolutely blown away by how well they performed on stage. At least check out the opening song of that show called “What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You”

Rust in Peace is without doubt a top-10 metal album.

[@hangar1876]

In my opinion Holy Wars, Hangar18 and Wake Up Dead are the three best Megadeth songs. Wake Up Dead has an absolutely amazing transition in it that you are not expecting at all, kind of like Holy Wars. Hangar 18 has some of the most insane dueling guitar solos you will ever hear. Born in 73’ and have loved metal my whole life. Saw KISS for my first concert lol…

[@Not_Of_This_World868]

Back in the 90's, Al Gore's wife and the P.M.R.C. were trying to ban swearing in music, but all they got was the "Parental Advisory" labels. Megadeth singer Dave Mustaine, Twisted Sister singer Dee Snyder and John Denver testified before Congress on behalf of free speech. John Denver's testimony was the most powerful because he HATED swearing and vulgar lyrics, but he loved free speech and didn't think that music should be censored or labeled.

I discovered this song at the age of 20 in 2002. I immediately printed out the guitar tabs and purchased an 8ball of cocaine with the intention of learning this song. After about four hours I gave up, stated drinking beers and playing Tony Hawk and decided I probably wasn’t gonna be able to learn this song.

[@King_V2]

Dave Mustaine was the Original guitarist for Metallica, then got Fired. Rest is history

If you like those squealy’s you should check out some Shadows Fall. My Demise is a good one!

[@daved4120]

I know Dave Mustaine claims Holy wars was written about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which was a war between Catholics and Protestants, but the symbolism in the music video is a soldier running through a desert (no deserts in Ireland), the U.S. had just taken part in Operation Desert Storm (August 1990, this CD was released September 1990) you hear the sitar Arabic themed guitar from Marty Friedman, and then the lyric of "don't look now to Israel, it might be your homeland"(Israel is the only American ally in the middle east), all of that to me defines the wars in the middle east.

Just a heads up if you choose to explore the rust in peace album, the remastered versions of the songs are way way worse. The original versions are leaps beyond better. (Megadeth is my favorite band)

[@mrsoupstain9840]

Also my personal favorite and recommendation from the album would be five magics. But in all honesty it’s just the greatest metal album of all time imo. Not a bad song on it.

[@MrAnon73]

Enjoyable. Its weird being an older dude watching younger dudes jam to stuff you dig. Or people from alien (cultural) backgrounds, but its strangely satisfying. Anything from Peace Sells, Rust in Peace, Pantera or Slayer (especially the obscure tracks on Reign in Blood like Jesus Saves) I'll watch. In Fact there's a lot of unmined songs on all those big albums. Reactors seem to go for the already trodden ground. Where as there's so much left virtually untouched.

[@palskee]

On the positive side, I get to watch you react to a lot more songs by Megadeth (hopefully). Megadeth my all time favorite band. Song suggestions,....lemme see,.....well, the entire album Rust in Peace is a must listen. Classic/fan favorites include Symphony of Destruction, Sweating Bullets, In My Darkest Hour, Peace Sells,....But Who's Buying?, Wake Up Dead, Angry Again. Additionally, I suggest the song that finally won a Grammy for Dave, Dystopia. There are more for sure but that should get you started.

[@lauriegardner7324]

[@metaltildeth6783]

When you take a trip down the Megadeth rabbit hole, you will never be the same again. Megadeth has put out both great Thrash and Heavy Metal. If you like 'Holy Wars...' then check out 'Hangar 18' with more solos than most bands put on an entire album, 'Take No Prisoner', Thrash which doesn't quit or 'Lucretia', the riffs laid out with a killer groove feel then ends with two great solos. With older Megadeth from the 80's, the songs are rawer and they grab you by the short hairs and kick you in the ass. 'Wake Up Dead' , 'Devil's Island', 'Good Mourning/Black Friday' and 'My Last Words' off the second album are musts to listen to eventually. One thing to remember when pulling up Megadeth, most of the Remastered versions are not as good as the original albums, so try to stay away from those.

[@light-bearer-1]

I have listened to Megadeth since enteering my early teens, I am now in my mid thirties but, I get ear fatigue and burn out after listening to a few songs, with the one exception of being United Abominations - that album I can listen all the way through. I think there are better examples of 'short-hairs gripping bands', for example: Toranaga, Myramainz, Fallen Angel, Forced Entry etc. That is just me though
