My favorite Megadeth song. I'm kind of embarrassed to say my son told me, hey Dad I have a friend at school his name is Justis and his dad Dave Mustaine is a rockstar I had no idea who he was. Justis spent a lot of time over at our house playing music with my son and Dave and his wife Pam came over a couple times and they're very down-to-earth and super nice people. Dave is a very intelligent guy.

Megadeth were on top of their game back then, and Max Norman did a hell of a job on this record. It sounds A-MA-ZING One thing that is really unique is Marty Friedman's lead tone. It has that low end where only some pick attack and the small inconsistencies caused by his unusual technique ring out. It helps his solos sound more authentic, it makes them stand out more. Nowadays most people would filter that stuff out, which is a shame because in this case, that's exactly what reminds the listener he's listening to an actual performance. Granted it's also a production thing: Mustaine left tons of space in the songs for Friedman's solos to shine.

@@ryadachaibou8098 I’m actually really glad Mustaine was fired from Metallica. Megadeth brought a sense of progressive architecture to thrash metal song writing than no other band did, and Metallica never would have allowed, I don’t think. The Mustaine/Friedman duo was light years ahead of the music scene, even by today’s standards. The perfect soundtrack of a dystopian future.

I haven't actually listened to Megadeth for over a decade, this vid made me totally wanna go put an album on straight after, but before I got to that point and put an album on I was reading comments. This one made me go straight to ToS, as it sparked the reminder in me and was totally correct. 🤘🏻 One of the greatest of the whole era, and although I'd forgotten I knew from my teenage years it was a corker.... correct!!!

@@cotoxs123 That's because the more popular the song, the more there is of what makes it great. Of course that's not always true, but deeper cuts are too subjective.

Notice you won't find any unpopular songs by a band on "what makes this song great". .

Rick, I'm sure my comments will get buried in the mix, but I wanted to let you know that I discovered your publications over the COVID outbreak and very much appreciate all the great insights that you provide to hobby musicians and the general populace (both of which I consider myself a member). Your approach is reminiscent of the Leonard Bernstein classical music appreciation shows in the 1940s (or 50s) that my father grew up on, in terms of the depth that you add to the rock music experience. The fact that you blend music theory, general appreciation, and instrument technology is phenomenal. I never get bored with the variety of information that you share. And your enthusiasm is positively infectious! You are definitely someone I would add to my top ten list of people (living or dead) that I would want to grab a beer with. Thank you for what you do!

Great breakdown of this song. By far my favorite Megadeth album. Marty, and actually Dave's guitar playing were just awesome. Actually this version of Megadeth, with Mart and Nick was my favorite lineup. I was playing in a metal cover band in college when this album was released and I made it my mission to nail this album in its entirety so I could come to rehearsal and ask,"Anyone want to give any of the new Megadeth album a shot?" Marty has always been so unique. I heard a friend say, "If liquid butter could shred, THAT would be Marty Friedman." That's the best description I have heard in reference to how smooth Marty sounds.
