RAP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due | MEGADETH REACTION

Hey everyone! 🎧👋 Today, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and diving into the world of thrash metal with Megadeth's epic track "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due." As a die-hard rap fan, this is my very first time listening to Megadeth, and I can't wait to share my raw, unfiltered reaction with you all!
In this video, you'll see me experiencing the powerful riffs, intense lyrics, and complex compositions that Megadeth is famous for. Will this legendary metal band win over a rap enthusiast? Stick around to find out!
Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy the video, and let me know in the comments what other metal songs I should react to next. Your suggestions are always appreciated!
"Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" is a song by the American thrash metal band Megadeth. It was released as the opening track and lead single from their fourth studio album, "Rust in Peace," which came out in 1990. The song was written by Megadeth's lead vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine.
"Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" is known for its complex structure, intricate guitar work, and thought-provoking lyrics. The song is divided into two parts: "Holy Wars" and "The Punishment Due." The first part, "Holy Wars," deals with religious conflict, while the second part, "The Punishment Due," explores themes of justice and retribution.
The song has become one of Megadeth's signature tracks and is often regarded as one of the greatest thrash metal songs of all time. It showcases the technical prowess of the band's musicians and has been praised for its intense and dynamic musical composition.
I hope you all like this one. The first Megadeth video on the channel. I really didn't know what song to react to first but I ended up choosing this one. I have no idea who this band are and I'm looking forward to hearing more from them. Here's my reaction to hearing Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due for the first time.

Its just a banger, one of THE thrash songs ever produced. Not more, not less

[@BS0000]

This was my first ever concert back in 1992 at age 18. Opening band was Suicidal Tendencies opening with You Can' Bring Me Down.... then Megadeth opened with Holy Wars... Holy Shit!

[@SideShowDisaSter]

One of the best thrash metal songs EVER written 😁

AMAZING

But saidly, they never came up with those songs in that time

[@Heathanee]

he is a god and a prophet. love him

[@glennbarry1315]

I'm a 52 year old metalhead who grew up on these guys, still my favorite metal band. Love the reaction, man. Keep it up! I'd recommend, from the same album as Holy Wars, Tornado of Souls, Five Magicks, and Lucretia. From one of their earlier albums (Peace Sells...But Who's Buying), i'd say check out Wake Up Dead, Peace Sells, Good Mourning/Black Friday, and My Last Words. Great stuff!

[@marksmith7096]

Agree strongly with all those recommendations.

[@91GT347]

Hangar 18 also. The whole album. ...ànd all the others too.

[@TempleOfShadowsTOS]

OMG! Good Mourning/Black Friday is the best song on the Peace Sells album! And let me explain something... The ENTIRE Rust In Piece album is a masterpiece! Wait till you hear the Dawn Patrol!

[@jumpbootsjamstrang]

Theres no one else like them. When I was a kid I found metallica n got a tattoo when I was a teenager, then I listened to megadeth for the first time after and felt like a dolt hahaha! I'm not gonna cover the first one but its fading. Ill get megadeth on my other and I'll let metallica continue to fade. They're my absolute favorite as well brother, got my cousin into megadeth and he can play their songs on electric like no tomorrow. He even bought a megadeth guitar, which sounds exemplary I might add and it has the rust in peice album cover on it.

[@jumpbootsjamstrang]

Im going on 27 this year. Rip, thrash and kick some ass brother.

[@whamsie4022]

When you loved “First Mistake,” I was just waiting for your reaction to “Last Mistake,” and you did not disappoint.

[@ijustreallylikesymphonyX]

its so wholesome to see a guy just vibing the hell out of his mind to some of the underrated masterpieces that are forgotten now since the main genre is rap and trap. all of this songs carry huge meanings, megadeth talks a lot about political things, check out metallica too, some of their songs just slap hard and have meaningful lyrics, like one of their most underrated songs called dyers eve, talking about the past of james hetfield (lead vocalist and rythm guitarist), not gonna say any more stuff, check out everything yourself. its always nice to see some new people join the metal world, love this song.

[@metaltildeth6783]

Megadeth is Dave Mustaine, lead singer, rhythm and lead guitarist. Over the last 40 years, all of the other band positions have had multiple musicians fill them. If you like this song, let me suggest ‘Good Mourning/Black Friday’. Recorded 4 years earlier, ‘Good Mourning…’ has a rawer feel. There is a different drummer and second guitarist as well. The song begins slowly with a more melodic sound. It then kicks into 2nd gear and never slows until the end. The drummer you watched is the current Megadeth drummer, Dirk Verbeuren. On this song the drummer was Nick Menza, rip. In the song I have suggested, the drummer is another great, Gar Samuelson, rip. The first four Megadeth albums are all classic Thrash Metal. After this album, Megadeth albums became more radio friendly with a mix of heavier and light metal.

[@elmitchification]

So far… Reaction of the year 🏆

[@theneverenderreacts]

means alot!! thank you

[@thrashersheaf7440]

Apart from the drummer they are Still alive and still touring man... they've been going since 1983.

[@Hoscitt]

But with only one member of this lineup in the band 😁

[@waryou303]

rip nick menza

[@markwilliams6394]

Yes, but last time I saw Megadeth, they sounded as good as ever even with only Mustaine left. I saw this tour in San Antonio, they were with Testament and Judas Priest. It was a great show.

[@michaeldinsen7641]

This Lp stacks up to anything. Legendary

[@danbardos3498]

What this guy lacks is actual criticism, he makes up in real emotion. As a band member, that's all I ask. Just worship the band.

[@rperez949]

Not only are they still around, but they're still putting out killer tracks. Check out "We'll Be Back" from their most recent album "The Sick, The Dying...and The Dead".

[@ttmaiden75]

One of my favorite songs of all time!

[@squidly2112]

Try out songs like "Sweating Bullets'" (one of my all time favorite music videos), "Tornado of Souls", "Symphony of Destruction", "A Tout le Monde", "Hanger 18", "Peace Sells" .. and more .. all absolutely fantastic pieces of music. You will love them!

[@ftldelay]

Next up should be "Tornado Of Souls" - from the same album - "Rust In Peace", which is widely considered to be one of the greatest metal albums of all time.

[@theneverenderreacts]

thak you for your comment. this songs reaction is uploaded now

[@firemonkey1015]

Tornado of souls is too overplayed and radio friendly, it’s a good song but idk it’s pretty tame compared to the rest and doesn’t show off all of their skills. Five Magics and Take No Prisoners are my favorites.

[@stecumo6459]

this was the best line up they had with drummer the mighty nick menza who sadly passed,i saw them do this live on the clash of the titans tour back in the day in their prime.they were unreal live

The whole Rust In Peace album is a masterpiece. Holy Wars was the big single release but there is a lot to explore. My favorite is Lucretia, the solo is exquisite. Tornado Of Souls is pretty good too. 🤘

Love your reaction! This is a pinnacle, but their career span is truly an entire mountain range…. There is SO MUCH worthy material by this band.

Yes, my man, Megadeth are still alive though I am not sure if they are touring. I grew up with this music and remember when they showed this video on MTV for the first time. It rocked my face off!! Ran out to get the album as soon as I could!!! Your reaction just made me so happy!!!! To see you rocking out and being blown away by some of the greatest metal ever produced is such a treat. Keep it up, friend. Rock n roll.

[@dillonsronce2583]

They are still alive and I'm pretty sure they are still active.

[@marksmith7096]

Hey mun! Long time Megadeth fan here, and recipient of many concert ticket stubs for the same band. You only came up in my youtube feed because I watch a lot of Metal stuff here nowadays. But I gotta say, watching YOU "see" the beauty and execution of one of my favourite bands performing, gave me 'goosebumps' and I could see the band as they were for a brief moment. The drummer, Nick Menza, is no longer with us but Megadeth are still around and touring. If you liked that, try Coundown to Extinction by Megadeth. And after that maybe some Metallica, Disposable Heroes from the album Master of Puppets (you might want to just listen to that with headphones on and chill!) Cheers. It was really uplifting seeing your enjoyment. Be safe. Peace! (Liked and subscribed too).

[@carlosacunacastillo6227]

the first mistake last mistake part has always been my favorite

[@KabukiKid]

Yeah, back when this album came out, my friend bought it first... brought it to my house... we listened to it. I was beyond blown away. I already loved Megadeth, but this was truly next level for them. Needless to say, I went out and bought the album for myself, the next day. Truly a metal masterpiece.

[@DouglasDorner-I812]

This song still keeps me hangin on hy the skin of my teeth. Never gets old. They were amazing live performers also. I was blessed to see them in Dallas TX, at Bronco Bowl. "Yes that's a bowling alley". It remains my favorite concert to this day. I was within spitting distance of Dave most of most of the time. Crowd surfing or in the mosh pit the rest of the time. I left bruised and bleeding from a split eyebrow, 4 pounds lighter and in a state of Zen. Metal is healing brother and Metalheads therefore tend to be the most kind and openminded you could hope to meet. It seems brutal when you see a big mosh pit break out. It is kind of brutal. No one is trying to hurt anyone. Its the simultaneous release of anger and agression through rough and tumble. Theres nothin but love among Metal fans.

[@deweytarver8985]

Yes indeed, the band Megadeth is still shredding. They’ve lost a couple drummers sadly, and members have changed over the years. Dave Mustaine (founder, lead, and rhythm guitar and vocals and bassist David Ellefson) are there.
