Megadeth - Five Magics (Live at the Hollywood Palladium 2010)

Megadeth performs their song "Five Magics" from the platinum album "Rust In Peace" live at the Hollywood Palladium in Hollywood, CA during their Rust In Peace tour in 2010. This clip is taken from the live concert DVD "Rust In Peace Live" released by Shout! Factory. Get the DVD here: www.shoutfactory.com/?q=node/...
Rust in Peace was very well received by both critics and fans and was responsible for bringing Megadeth to the attention of a mainstream metal audience, and it is considered one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time. The album was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 33rd Grammy Awards, and "Hangar 18" was nominated for the same award at the 34th Grammy Awards. Allmusic described the record as "easily Megadeth's strongest musical effort", and it was noted as one of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Lyrics:
[Solo: Mustaine]
Bestow upon me Knowledge
Wizard, all knowing, all wise
[Solo: Friedman]
I want to rule this kingdom
Make sweet the breeze now defiled
[Solo: Friedman]
Dethrone the evil prince's iron fists
In velvet gloves of sin
[Solo: Friedman]
Parade the grey robed monks
The vestal virgins, wheel the wyvern's in
[Solo: Friedman]
[Solo: Friedman]
Let the ceremony consecrate marriage
Let me be the protege of Five Magics
Give me alchemy, give me wizardry,
Give me sorcery, thermatology
Electricity, Magic if you please,
Master all of these, Bring him to his knees
I master five magics, I master five magics
I master five magics, I master five magics
Possessed with hellish torment, possessed with hellish torment
I master magics five, I master magics five
Hunting the abyss lord, hunting the abyss lord
Only one will stay alive, only one will stay alive
He who lives by the sword, he who lives by the sword
Will surely also die, will surely also die
He who lives in sin, he who lives in sin
Will surely live the lie
[Solo: Mustaine]

i just wish they played this song more live

[@theextinctsurgeon310]

+Dave Mustaine this is one of megadeths best. instead they play the same old songs every fucking concert. its holy wars, hangar 18, peace sells, wake up dead, hook in mouth, in my darkest hour, a tout le monde and so on

I dont think it actually sounds like that live, probably just another overdub added in post production, you can hear tons in this video, especially with Daves vocals.

Askel Sæbø Is that you Nick?

[@FreakingCrazyMan]

Im not defending Drover, but that was just shitty drum triggering.

[@armandousmaximus4738]

The technicality of the drumming is what makes this song a gem to most drummers, Drover doesn't deliver what the song requires, it's too bad Mustaine won't upgrade. I've been to 14 Megadeth concerts since 1990 and Drover always disappoints. Menza & Degrasso always kicked ass live.

[@ianphillip2658]

Favorite Megadeth song, in the midst of seeing the whole album being performed live, so grateful I was there!

[@eccehomer8182]

One of mine as well... Marty's fifth solo over Dave's intricate yet kick-ass riff is musical genius up there with the great composers.

3:05 I just love that part its sounds like some Chuck Schuldiner (Death) stuff right there...

[@dangerpowers4582]

It's in 5/4 time, definitely something Chuck would have utilized. What I like about Dave's incorpation of odd-time is that he doesn't try to be as technical as possible. He just writes what sounds good. I'm not alluding to Chuck overusing odd-time. Chuck was a brilliant player as well.

[@tristanhavrilak6048]

[@rustyshackleford5668]

@Eddie The Head Lol Shawn Drover has no creativity in his entire body. Guy can't go off the path even if his life depended on it.

[@fried2styles]

This may not be the "best" metal song ever, but it is almost perfect: 1) Thrashy opening to get your attention 2) Moody build up with lots of contrasts: hard/soft, fast/slow 3) Great topic and opening line:A magician's apprentice saying: Bestow upon me knowledge, wizard, all-knowing, all-wise" 4) Awesome, jazzy interlude with psycho drums and guitar parts. 5) Amazing climax with a chant-able chorus. 6) Use of "Olde Englsihe" grammar: "magic" ir rarely used in the plural form in modern American English. 7) Just a carnivorous riff throughout that really gallops along. 8) and finall, a return to the opening motif, higher and higher. Like I said, just about the perfect metal song...
