Still my favorite album... from Skin of my teeth to Ashes in the mouth 🔥🤘🏽🔥

[@romanoperelli7018]

Dave Mustaine's voice is an acquired taste but he wasn't born a singer. He was the original lead guitarist in the original Metallica line-up at the beginning of the 80's and he was fired just before the band entered the studio to record their debut album because of drug abuse and constant fights with the other members of the band. So he essentially said: f++k off you idiots I will create my own band. Megadeth was born and his unique blend of speed and thrash metal, enriched with meaningful lyrics and crazy guitar solos*, conquered the hearts of many metal aficionados of that golden era including the young myself who always cherished Megadeth above Metallica. Over the years Mustaine became more conservative even though he confessed that he often found himself voting for the lesser of two evils. He appeared quite a few times as a guest in Alex Jones' "Info Wars" podcast and while I don't necessarily agree with everything he says I recognize him to be much more based than the vast majority of his colleagues. *The "Tornado of souls" solo played by Marty Friedman is considered by many worthy a spot in the top three most iconic guitar solos in metal history (together with Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption" and Randy Rhoads' "Crazy Train".

[@jaredheynig197]

And he still picks fights with people

[@locoloboxiii]

I know it's opinion, but one of my favorite questions to ask someone I don't know well is "What singular event was both the best and worst moment in metal music?" My response after I let them ponder for a moment... "Metallica fires Dave Mustane." With him fired, we got Megadeth. Without his firing, we would have had Metallica with Mustane on guitar. Again, personal opinion and very specific question. It's fun to hear the response to said though.

[@reginafromtexas2314]

Dave Mustaine is a born-again Christian. He's a real sweetheart in my book. Two years ago, a few months after my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer, my husband received a personal video birthday message (like from right in Dave's house!). It was somehow arranged by our nephew. Anyway, Dave wished my Johnny a happy birthday and gave him words of encouragement regarding his cancer fight. The video was several minutes long. My husband was blown away as he had been a Megadeth fan for many years. My Johnny passed away on July 17th and I recently found the video saved on his computer. It meant so much to both of us.

[@OlySasquatch78]

So sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.

[@V3v15c3r8]

RIP Johnny. Much love to yall

[@KalElvis]

I've met Dave in person, he is a great person. Very humble and kind

[@halftag15]

Thank you for sharing you story. I'm sorry for your loss, but maybe you should think about posting that video, because Dave himself just went through chemo last year, for throat cancer, and immediately after finishing, he recorded the sick, the dying and the dead. His vocals are horrible, but the reason he did his own vocals, is so he could never be kicked out of the band again. Infact, he made it so every other piece of the band could be changed and replaced, but not his part. Dave also owns a brewery and a winery down in Nashville. When he's not on tour, he will grab the guys and stop in really small bars and perform under the name Vic and the rattleheads!

[@richierifenburg6475]

I'm so happy that you're giving Megadeth some play. There is a video of this song played live in Argentina. The crowd goes crazy and I think we all agree that you'd enjoy it

[@DavidMArmbruster]

For those of us who have listened to this since the early 90's....WE STILL THE REBEL MO FO'S TO THIS DAY!!!! If this song does not wake up your mind...nothin will!

[@hafadude69]

Holy Wars from Megadeth is still a relevant song today. Watch it with lyrics and you'll understand. Gears of war and Amerikhastan are also really good songs.

[@darrenmerritt2243]

Dave Mustane was originally a member of Metalica . But was literally kicked out right as they made it . So he has a style more like James Hetfeild .

[@neillenet291]

You mean, james has a style more like Dave.

[@1majorasshole]

James copied Dave's style

[@nikihemmer1142]

Dave was a drunk back then and couldn't get along with anyone is why he was kicked out.

[@jeffspangler2367]

And Dave has always said he’s still the best guitar player in Metallica, and I agree

[@MatthewC137]

@@nikihemmer1142 They were all drunks and aholes back then. James and Lars just couldn't handle Dave. Dave is 2 years older (which means something when you're 19 or 20) and had more talent. James and Lars were the "mean girls" of the band.

[@samsonjpedroza]

LYRICS ...."JUST LIKE THE PIED PIPER LED RATS THRU THE STREETS , WE DANCE LIKE MARIONETTES, SWAYING TO THE SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION" ...GENIUS !

[@sakidickerson]

"you try to take his baaaaalllss"

[@beekerzz86]

You mentioned Dave Mustane's voice... there is an old interview with him, when he built Megadeth after the separation from Metallica, he tried to find someone else to be the lead singer, stating he thought his voice was similar to "two cat's fighting in a burlap bag", ended up taking on the role when the band couldn't find someone else to do it.

[@wompa70]

"Countdown to Extinction" and "Youthanasia" are probably the two albums I've listened to more than any others. I think you would love the song "Sweating Bullets" from Countdown. The verses are almost spoken word rather than singing.

[@HedleyLamarr]

I would have been disappointed if I hadn't found this comment at least once

[@LeonardoPostacchini]

I was going to suggest those myself.

[@heatherwright3981]

Sweating Bullets is my favorite Megadeth song of all time, good call!

[@LeonardoPostacchini]

@@heatherwright3981 Me myself and I agree.

[@samsonjpedroza]

MEGADETH AND METALLICA WERE VERY POLITICAL IN THE EARLY DAYS... THIS IS 1991, DIRECTED AT PRES. BUSH #1 ...

[@ErikRye]

Yep for Bush, however any politician could fall in this category

[@elfdogre2181]

Yeah, Bush was an easy target for so many back in those days. Comedians, msm news, various bands: Megadeth, RATM for a couple of examples... and it was all good; no one shutting anyone else down over it! At least Mustane/Megadeth didn't jump on the Dem bandwagon like RATM did, at least not that I know of, or could find. If you're going to protest big gov/war policies, then protest all regimes that push them, otherwise you look like a hypocritical sellout... as Rage For the Machine looks.

[@hosermcmoose]

While Bush Sr. might have been the most immediate inspiration, I think the song is pretty clear that this is much more universal than just one man. In fact, while the imagery is all American, I don't think they're really even saying that this is a specifically American problem, but rather applies pretty globally. As BP notes, there are some elements of a cult of personality being referenced, something that tends to be more associated (perhaps incorrectly?) with dictatorships than democracies. Certainly, America in the early 1990's isn't the only time/place where people have "danced like marionettes, swaying to the symphony of destruction".

PEACE SELLS!! My Last Words is undeniably the most underrated track off that album.

[@BrandonStewart-x7y]

It's always amazed me how little that song is talked about. It's Sooooo good!

[@PhillipCanterbury]

Dave Mustain, lead singer and guitarist, is one of the founding members of Metallica.

[@CasperHaasnoot]

Well, not really a founding member, Lloyd Grant was their first lead guitarist. Though Mustaine definitely played a much bigger role during Metallica's early days than Lloyd did.

[@shmick6079]

Not a founding member, but he has writing credits on the first two albums.

[@allenruss2976]

Megadeth means one million deaths from a nuclear attack. Hence the mask on the mascot, Vic Rattlehead

[@johnfortney9933]

PEACE SELLS But WHO'S Buying Is one of my all-time favorite songs and a must hear They paved the way for a lot of bands

[@XGCPolaris]

Vic's mask represents See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil

[@ronparsons8786]

Wake Up Dead is my favorite Megadeth song This song is basically about the military industrial complex. You would also dig Iron maiden's "2 minutes to midnight" from around the same era. Similar subject matter

[@lesliebrown1517]

I'm not a Megadeath fan, but I'm glad you are giving them a listen. This particular song is very relevant today.

[@guystephens2881]

Funny it never sounds low at my house

[@erikaronska1096]

The fans in Argentina started to chant "Aguante Megadeth!" during the guitar riffs, and now fans all over the world do it! Check out the video "El Origen de Aguante Megadeth"

[@Rocker1983]

YES! I love Megadeth and this is one of my faves for sure! I used the guitar riffs in a project for school back in the day too.

[@seandobson6221]

You really need to do the live version of this song the crowd participation is amazing

[@Mudflap1974]

Over 30 years later, many of Dave's lyrics still stand the test of time. "Hook in Mouth" is another one that has very political lyrics that still apply today, even though it was specifically about the PMRC back in the day. Even Dave would tell you that he's not a great singer. His delivery of the messages is what makes it good, plus nobody else sounds like him.

[@romanoperelli7018]

Dave Mustaine, the singer, has a black belt in Karate, black belt in Taekwondo and purple belt in Ju-Jitsu. I thought it might interest you as you are into martial arts. He had a very interesting conversation with Joe Rogan where they talk a lot about martial arts (JRE #1861)

[@markwillis675]

Dave is credited with writing 4 songs on Metallicas first album and 2 on their second.

[@melissagrover9727]

Being Anti establishment is the X Gen theme- labels were not high corp business back then. They were record labels companies.

[@themightybuzzard3088]

No, they were absolutely ultra corporate assholes who cared nothing about the music. Have been since the 60s at the very least. A few artist-started labels aside.

[@eriklarson9137]

Yikes. Not even close to accurate. 1999 was the record labels peak profit year. It's been crashing since.

[@andrewstableford9781]

How many White Claws did you consume before typing that nonsense?

[@shmick6079]

Yeah they’ve always been jerks. That’s even highlighted for us at the time this album was made - via the Wayne’s World movies. A decade earlier, US record labels screwed Cold Chisel over because they wouldn’t change their style to suit the sunset strip vibe. The same people that kept the likes of Motley Crue and Ozzy hooked on drugs throughout the 80s. They did the same to the pop princesses in the late 90s, and have been the puppet masters of their clueless artists since at least the 60s. Ever seen the Elvis movie, or seen any Black Sabbath documentaries? The artist was ripped off so badly by their management back then because proper legal agreements were not in place. RATM weren’t silly, they knew this and used the industry to their advantage while simultaneously trashing it in their music.

[@christinaabair2971]

Such an amazing band, lifelong fan, worth a trip down their catalog!! 🤘🏼🔥

[@brucec4765]

Spot on! AND it f'ing ROCKS! Re: the vocal delivery - that's the beauty of it. Don't need amazing range, highs or lows, it just fits the song! We all can relate to that voice...

[@tamiramos5873]

Great songs came from this album. You should also do "Countdown to Extinction" and "High Speed Dirt." I believe you already did "Sweating Bullets." The other song from Megadeth you should do, which was the song that MTV used the beginning of to introduce MTV news. This song is "Peace Sells." Please try to do the original videos and not just audio. The video puts the lyrics into context.

[@annemaclean6634]

One of my favourite Megadeth songs, it's a banger! What a riff, it's fabulous and that guitar solo - absolutel fire! There is a live version of this song from Argentina, and the whole crowd chants Megadeth Megadeth, it's brilliant!!

[@debiw8599]

15:03 That is that separates metal from rock. Someone once said, "we can't all write about getting laid on the Sunset Strip." Bands that did, and I truly LOVE some of them, are hard rock bands. Bands that don't and won't are the metal bands. Musically, they're pretty similar. What separates them is the lyrics.

[@eriklarson9137]

That's like just yer opinion man.

I play in a band where I get to take center stage to sing this song every now and then, and I can tell you without a doubt that this song STILL gets a great reaction from the crowds

[@pauljacobi340]

Dave's vocals are often a cross between a snarl and a sneer. And I chuckled when you said you weren't sure when this came out only because the album/CD the track is from is "Countdown to Extinction" and I bought the disc right when it came out. And then in 2012 caught them live in Myrtle Beach on the 20th anniversary tour for it and they played it in its entirety. So yeah, that glorious music is 30+ years old. Horns up! :)

[@Britton_Thompson]

Actually, if you step back and look at it through the wider panorama view, the American public has overwhelmingly been an anti-war populace historically. In the 20th century, we didn't get involved in the two world wars until late. Until we absolutely had to. We didn't join WW1 until the last year (1918), and we repeated it in the European theater of WW2 by joining in June 1944 and completing it in May 1945. We were so anti-war afterwards that they had to implement the draft for Korea and Vietnam because nobody wanted to fight either war. It was presumed the draft would have to be reinstated in 1991 in Kuwait for Desert Storm, but the Air Force & the first armored USMC divisions kicked Iraq's ass so quickly that it wasn't needed. The only time you saw a genuine grassroots fervor for war was in the years following 9/11, but that quickly evaporated as soon as they bungled the 2003 invasion of Iraq searching for WMD. In the grand scheme of things, America has been a decidedly anti-war population. Which is typical of nations that flourish. You only hear the war drums beating in the nations that were defeated and want revenge, or struggling economies where you restore national pride through conquest. A la, what we're seeing with Russia presently. They want to regain the superpower status they had during the Cold War, and the economy is so stagnant that careers in the military become more attractive than mining coal and occupying assembly lines in old fashioned factories where automation doesn't exist and everything has to be assembled manually by hand.
