PURE MASTERPIECE of musicianship and songwriting. It boggles my mind how well this song was put together. Particularly the gradual build up of tempo. Uhhh...i meant intensity. Tempo started off at 220 mph. Lol

[@BigFrankieC]

You're correct. This is actually two songs smushed together. Dave had the song Holy Wars, about well, religious war, and a second song about the comic book character The Punisher. …but he didn't think either was a complete song, so they combined them and added the last bit to it. So it ended up being three partial songs combined into one masterpiece.

Then listen to killing is business and you will hear note for note, the same guitar riffs, just faster. Four horsemen and Mechanix for example.

[@59thfsaviation79]

@@musicointempero2256 Dave is only credited on 6 Metallica songs. 4 of which are on Kill em All.

Dave has a longer, better career than Metallica in my opinion, but I think this story has grown is all.

[@musicointempero2256]

@@59thfsaviation79 not really. Four horsemen was essentially the most well received song off their first album, jump in the fire as well. Metallica got their initial fame for their early thrash sound, which those two songs were amongst the most quintessential to that sound. Had he not influenced them early with what is essentially his sound, they likely (not that I can say necessarily) would not have been as well received as they were. Then after kicking him out, they still used those songs (an odd choice for a band that kicked the writer of them out), very likely because they understood their value and didn't think they would be able to replace them for something better. I mean, the four horsemen riff is still one of the most recognised thrash riffs ever. He may not have written their whole catalogue, but his influence definitely shaped their success initially and without that, they wouldn't have had an audience to sell their later era dad-metal-garage-rock music to.

[@johnnordman8248]

Dave Mustaine is a lyrical genius. He first entered the music scene as the lead guitarist for none other than METALICA! After being let go in a not so nice way he formed MEGADETH and became a bigger star as well as influence on the genre than he ever would have been had he stayed in Metalica! When I compare the lyrical content between his old band and what was presented to the world through his band Megadeth. Dave's lyrics are 100 times more impactful and aggressive. In other words more METAL if you will. I mean if you play some of the most aggressive music in the world why would you want to write some of the most "please be nice to me, I'm sorry for offending you" style lyrics! This is what drove a huge divide in the Metal crowd during the early years of METALICA AND MEGADETH!!! They have since buried the hatchet between them but I'm still a Megadeth fan over Metalica, not that Metalica doesn't have a good sound or good songs but after the "Black" album I lost all interest in them. While Megadeth just kept kicking my ass over and over!!!

[@kurtemus]

Agreed. And hes just as good at writing riffs and leads and songs as lyrics

[@plantdesigns7889]

There's 2 thrash bands that have benefited directly from Metallica. Obviously Megadeth, because it wouldn't be a thing if they hadn't kicked Dave out. And Exodus, because Kirk Hammett went to Metallica and Gary Holt is a better guitar player in my opinion. I'm not knocking on Metallica. They've had some good stuff. Ride The Lightning was my intro to Thrash. I even didn't mind Load even though it was total detour from Thrash and almost metal as a whole. And who can deny Cliff Burton. But Megadeth, from the first time I heard them, hit that sweet spot for me. Especially with this line up.

[@musicointempero2256]

He also wrote a lot of, if not most of kill em all. Metallica's most metal album.

[@PhantomDeth]

Megadeth are an incredible band.. I would recommend their entire discography.. But if you want to start somewhere there no better place the start than the album Rust in Peace.. Pick any song you want they are all 10/10.. This isn't all the band does.. They are a very varied band they are very fast, groovy, mid-tempo, radio friendly even at points.. A band with a lot to offer a listener. Deeper messages.. Worth having a once over and thought on them.

"The next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away" ~ Dave Mustaine from "Holy Wars". Hmm, kinda sounds like what we are living through today (1984). Mega-Dave was pretty prophetic, eh?

[@43captrexkramer]

That was preceded by Peace Sells which Dave talks about the uselessness of the United Nations, and also Dystopia from 2016 which again he clearly is a visionary in how lyrically that album applies to current day society. Mr. Mustaine has ALWAYS been ahead of the curve and musically a premier songwriter.

[@benjilee329]

Prophetic perhaps. But don't forget in the early nineties there was an awareness of the "thought police" going on with Leftist politics. The late great Rush Limbaugh was talking about it around the same time. It also tied in with the first Gulf War

This song comes from the best Thrash album of all time. Yes I’m saying Rust in Peace is better than my #2 album Master of Puppets. Megadeth is one of those 80s bands that still hits now. A lot of 80s bands and songs we’re formulaic for the time but Megadeth was on some other level shit with Good Morning Black Friday, Peace Sells, and my favorite off the Peace Sells album The Conjuring. Dave’s. Vocals have been criticized and bashed mostly by Mettwlixa fans but also by metal fans in general, but I disagree because his vocals are the reason they are different and have their own sound and in my opinion for their songs and style his voice fits like a glove. Can you imagine hearing Peace Sells or 5 Magics with James Hetfield singing and shredding? I don’t think he can but Dave most definitely can. Great reaction 👍

Fun reaction to watch and it is very refreshing to know that young adults including yourself have taken a great liking in heavier music and music that required an insurmountable block of time to create. Despite being a major music lover, player and critic, I actually heard elements of "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" that I hadn't picked up on before (I've listened to this song and the rest of the Rust In Peace record dozens of times and yet still discover the little music nuances that are intentional). As for other Megadeth records, try out Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?, So Far, So Good...So What?, Countdown To Extinction, Youthanasia, The System Has Failed, United Abominations, Endgame and Dystopia. Imo, Megadeth has been pretty consistent regarding solid quality material, but have made a couple of fluke records and some decent records in b/t the aforementioned ones. I absolutely love Megadeth AND Metallica (do not read deeply into the Metallica vs Megadeth feud that is fueled by internet trolls and insecure jerks out there!) They are both awesome bands in there own rights, plus they are very different musically! While I'm on the subject of Metallica, check out there first 5 albums at least. I also think Load & Reload have a good amount of solid tracks though those records are a bit bloated and stray away from their thrash metal style imo. Then there are Death Magnetic (a return to form) and Hardwired to Self Destruct (a little better production and more balanced but bloated), which I really enjoy as well despite some production quality flaws.

First time viewer I loved your reaction to this I listened all kinds of music play music Steely Dan's a great man and I like a lot of other mellow stuff too but I've been listening to metal since the eighties I was there for the invention of thrash metal which is what you're listening to and been listening to Megadeth since the '80s so it's really fun to watch somebody else's reaction to the music

[@DavideOrlando1969]

Bought vinyl in 90's, listened to, soloed and played live multiple times, never grateful enough to Megadeth.

[@kronok5591]

Me and my buds in Junior High (mid 80's) were into Megadeth and Iron Maiden. More so than Metallica but liked them also. From what's been mentioned, can't go wrong with "Hangar 18" or "Tornado of Souls". Of those 2 I'd prolly go with Tornado 🎸

[@farn451]

This is the opening track of one of the greatest albums ever written in metal. This, Master of Puppets by Metallica and Reign in Blood by Slayer are eseentially masterpieces and genre defiining works. Dave's voice has never really about the melody, it's about his delivery, his snarl, the venom, the contempt, the rage that he pours into every syllable.

[@skinnyb8230]

I saw Megadeth on American Carnage. Dave walked out on stage, leaned into the mic, said "We all know why we're here tonight. Here we go...." then started Holy Wars.... They played Rust in Peace cover to cover. Slayer played Seasons cover to cover after a couple songs from World Painted Blood.

[@farn451]

@@skinnyb8230 Similar experience with them years back when Dave had recovered the use of his hand after that nerve damage. Came on stage, played 3 songs, said, "Doctors said I'd never play again... Well..." and launched into a 1.5 hr brutality session with no chat between songs. Literally melted my face off!

[@skinnyb8230]

@@farn451 Yep Dave didn't say anything else during their set until they were finished with Rust in Peace. I met him earlier that day at his book signing so I have a signed copy of his autobiography.

[@TheeMissingLinc]

Reigning Blood was meh, they just found a good catchy quick tempo that the lesser musical intellects liked. South of Heaven was their masterpiece in my opinion.

[@farn451]

@@TheeMissingLinc not snobby at all... 😂 lesser musical intellects: some of us like Reign in Blood (which, for a towering intellectual such as yourself, you didn't even spell correctly) and Tool and Meshuggah... lesser musical intellects my arse.

[@joeballs6447]

I love these. I grew up with that shit, playing guitar, playing this kind of music. It's beautiful seeing others discover it for the first time. Those thrash metal bands were FUCKING TALENTED!

[@brownwestmoreland1077]

One word to describe this song would be perfection. It's almost like a rhapsody because of all the tempo changes a rhythm changes. I've seen Megadeth several times in concert and they're even better live.

[@retrobrw919]

Just saw Megadeth play live two weekends ago. They play this spot on perfect live as well. It's amazing what Dave can play and sing over. Some of their rhythm tracks are harder than some band's solos.

[@noam.yuvalor1381]

You *HAVE* to listen to tornado of souls, the solo is pretty much considered as the best metal solo *ever* Songs like Symphony of destruction, Lucretia and hanagr 18 are also classics, from the “new” 2016 album - dystopia they have grammy winning title track (dystopia) and they also have great instrumental featuring their new guitarist Kiko Louirero

[@charlesmoore6287]

Great pic, that one rocks!

[@tonytendencies4698]

While I understand Tornado of Souls getting so much praise I always thought the solo in Dread and the Fugitive Mind as being better

[@Walamonga1313]

Lucretia is the best song in RIP, definitely a must listen

[@tekawapangjamir4990]

As a boy from far unknown backward northeast of India after Black Sabbath my second fev was MegaDEth in early 2000 I guess was 14/15 years..' what to say DM is one awesome

[@joelboutier1736]

Yes… this is a classic metal song for a good reason. It has everything… instrumental intro, two solos, a bridge, shredding, and that drumming!!! He was so talented. And Dave Mustaine multitasks with the guitar and vocals. All of these guys were very talented musicians. It’s rare that musicians that are so good cross paths & collaborate. Many bands only one or two people stand out. All of these guys were good.

[@BILLEON2005]

30+ years after this song‘s creation every single bit of its subject matter has come true!! This song is a Masterpiece…

[@SonOfTheLion]

If you want something really crazy I would recommend "Angel Of Death by Slayer". As far as other Megadeath songs Hanger 18 is a great one.

[@JPWick]

you want angry, young Megadeth?: Last Rites/Loved to Deth. Was used in an Apple commercial 2-3 years ago, you KNOW that producer went out of their way to sneak some Megadeth into Apple, and something heavy af

[@robertwhitham5109]

One of the best metal songs by one of the best metal bands. Always thought they should have been bigger, and way bigger than metallica. My humble opinion.

[@jasonlmeadows]

There have been SO MANY different Megadeth line ups through the years but for me this is the absolute best of all, playing the best song from their best album. I was lucky enough to to see them on this tour and am so thankful for that experience. Metallica did the metal world a favor when they fired Dave Mustaine and he went on to form Megadeth.

[@realBkay]

If u react to Slayer - SEASONS IN THE ABYSS, make sure u have the lyrics nearby. If ur head was exploding for HOLY WARS ur body may spontaneously combust attempting to figure out the meaning of the lyrics while listening to its soothing melody’s.

[@maheralwan4115]

Love your energy to the music haha

[@rawtooth4704]

Im glad for you to hear one of the classic bests.

[@alexfilma16]

Me: How do I sing like Dave Mustaine? Vocal Coach: Well, to get an authentic first impression, throw your cat in the washing machine.

[@squarespongespider5656]

Megadeths greatest song, and 1 of metals all time greatest songs..think i was 12 when it came out and I still love it

[@Monyassertv]

Omg love your reactions 🤘🔥

[@MorbidThrasher666]

From beginning to end this is one of the greatests technical and melodic masterpiece of Megadeth songs written !

[@johnkieffer889]

A friend of mine took me to a Megedeth show in the early 90s. I'd never heard of the band walking into the building, and I left a fan.

[@eddiewayne9995]

First megadeth song I learned on guitar. Digging that shirt too

[@Thedesertguy75]

That record is gold man. Metal with intelligence and beauty in it

[@stianhelldiver3819]

Saw them back in 2017. One of the best concert in my life!

[@MrVegiita]

Yes! Keep rocking out with more metal song reviews 🤟🏻

[@ontu9358]

Great reaction I been a fan of Megadeth when the peace sells and wake up dead was on MTV in 1986 Holy wars was one one the best that the band made but, there are so many underrated songs that have been overlooked I hope your journey is continuous.

[@TheStarDeth]

Your reaction are so good haha !

[@leolovell6218]

That song is so powerful such incredibly musicianship and they're saying something. The song has substance.
