Megadeth Ballads Be Like

[@frankusyoung4198]

MegaDiana: Loved to Deth Wake up Dead IMDH Tornado of Souls This was my life Reckoning Day Trust Almost Honest 1000 Times Goodbye Maybe even more unconfirmed... Meanwhile MegaPam: Hardest of part of letting go... All I Want Just 2 🤣

[@theguyof360]

Oh yeahhhhh!!!! That's right!!!!

[@bubblyproduction9809]

Keeping this list down lol

[@oleksandrshkiliuk7786]

what about Killing Time from The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead?

[@holy2413]

Tears In A Vial too maybe?

[@ManiacsSon]

In my darkest hour. Raise your head, raise your face, oh tell me who do you think you are!!!

[@DanielHuman1996]

"In My Darkest Hour" is definitely Megadeth's best power ballad! It also borrows Cliff Burton's triplet feel on "For Whom The Bell Tolls."

[@andhedrewbees]

1:50 - Tornado of Souls (Campfire Song Edition)

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Indeed

[@97salti]

One overlooked song that could be a Megadeth power ballad is Forget to Remember from Super Collider. It's a very pop sounding song with its structure and vocal melodies.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

And it’s about Dave’s mother-in-law, who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s.

[@AngeloTheGreat1]

I always thought of Tears In A Vial as the ballad for The System Has Failed. It doesnt have any clean guitar, but it's melodic and has great lyrics. Promises is the only Megadeth song to make me cry and I am so glad it got a mention here since for some reason i see it excluded from the best ballad talk when it is easily one of the best.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Both albums are so underrated. We should talk about them more.

[@AngeloTheGreat1]

@AndriyVasylenko I just had a thought, The System Has Failed was supposed to be a Dave solo album, but was switched to have the megadeth name. If dave Mustaine did release it solo, what makes it different from Megadeth? It sounds like megadeth to me, just with more personal lyrics I guess. Would probably be a good excuse to talk about songwriting credits in Megadeth songs.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Gotta think about it. To me it sits fairly natural in the discography. I’d even say it the closest Mustaine came to his own Black album, it’s just happened not in the right decade. Scorpion, Kick the Chair… Awesome stuff. Anyway, the video will come as soon as I come up with a hook and cool title for it :)

[@wowaka0]

@@AngeloTheGreat1 It has some chris poland's lead work in it, and lot of producer work. It definetly counts as a solo album but there's so much work has been done besides Dave's.

[@AngeloTheGreat1]

@@wowaka0 Chris Poland returning was fantastic, and I wish he at least reconvened to play 1 show live with the band back then, and this further muddies the waters of how this meant to be solo album is different from Megadeth.

[@wowaka0]

Last rites / Loved to Deth Good mourning / Black Friday Holy wars... The Punishment Due Rust in peace... Polaris(? it has 2 parts but idk it counts) Recipe for Hate... Warhorse Time:The beginning - The end(?) Tears in a Vial(Basically has 2 parts which divides on min 3:50 to 4 but idk it counts) Never Walk Alone.. A Call to Arms The Hardest Part of Letting Go... Sealed with a Kiss I only remember these, lmk if anything I forgot plz

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Thanks! “Sick Dying… Dead” has the dots, but it’s not the function. And I find it confusing they didn’t go with dots on Rites and Friday. Plus, technically Dialectic Chaos and This Day We Fight are a double song, but separated, as well as Psychopathy and Killing Time from latest.

[@Steinwelt]

A Tout Le Monde?!

[@wowaka0]

Dave has perfected the heartbreak feeling in song form how can you forget "I'll get even"

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Yeah, forgot a bunch of songs worth mentioning

[@BrandonLeeBach]

ANDRIY! This made me laugh more than any of your other videos 😂

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Glad to know that 😆

[@snacktime2497]

This makes me think of a Woody Harrelson line from a sitcom he guest starred in: "What do you think is the most romantic Megadeth song?"

[@elidiotto8332]

It's gotta be something from Cryptic Writings or Risk

[@wayfaringman8418]

It's gotta be Look Who's Talking.

[@Boyerj87]

I quote that all the time! 😜

[@lstfnc667]

I would also consider The Dogs of Chernobyl as a ballad

[@Mete_corleone]

Megadeth contents are great man keep it up!!

[@eamonahern7495]

That little acoustic bit in the intro didn't make it to the original cut of the album. That's in the remastered early 2000s version. I got the album on cassette in the mid 1990s and that part isn't on the song. P.S. What about the classic Tears In A Vial?

[@AndriyVasylenko]

That’s my favourite change in all the remasters. Also, he’s been playing the extended intro live for a long time, maybe even since the beginning, gotta check

[@AndriyVasylenko]

And about Tears in Vial. Good one, just like the entire record. System is favourite Megadeth album.

[@eamonahern7495]

@AndriyVasylenko that's interesting. It's a good album but not usually mentioned in people's favourite megadeth albums. Tears in a vial is a great song and Chris Poland's solo is my favourite guitar solo on that album.

[@viniciusleaoa]

6:50 bro why do you keep ignoring Good Mourning my frrrriend??? 😭😭

[@shlumpusmostr]

In my personal opinion anything slower and cleaner than in my darkest hour does not work as well for megadeth. they are still great but imth is just peak

[@Hegder]

Dave is great at writing those metal power ballads. There’s a whole sub-category of Megadeth songs that fall into it: Almost Honest is one of my favourites.

[@trevorstevenson4038]

Wtf was Dave mustaine, once upon a time, a handsome man!?

[@AmirAli-iu7bn]

I personally think we should call songs like imdh metal ballads and songs like promise a power ballad. This way it's more obvious. If I remember correctly you mentioned this in a an old video about cemetery gates. Songs like cemetery, one and imdh.

[@Aris_M39]

4:26 oh yeahhh

[@AsaMorgan-jj2zq]

I was surprised no one mentioned when

[@GeniusCenaa]

Wait, yes technically "I'll be there" is not a ballad but then who did he wrote the song for if not for Pam? LOL

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Apparently, she didn’t know and Dave never bothered to tell her xD

[@GeniusCenaa]

@ That’s hilarious, but it’s something Dave would definitely forget XD

[@j.m.quinn465]

01:50 please do more vocal covers 😤😤😤

[@corplavilla]

Dave is more of a power anthem kinda guy(some of the music has dynamics) Not so much as ballads. His other big money maker, knee jerk pick me up songs. Train of Con.. Peice Sell, Angry Again and many more. His voice doesn’t really do it for the most part on ballads. He did a duet with one of his songs, it was really good. So I think he’s the ability to write a ballad. Not to sing one exactly. Thx

[@Hegder]

Angry Again totally. Love that song.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Agree. And still, that didn’t stop him from making ballads when he really felt like. Which makes them even more genuine, unlike those who just pump them out

[@sandman6651]

Andriy i can't find the metal breakdown video of yours, did you delete it?

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

Hello there ❤❤❤

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Hey! You’re like super early

[@insanemtl5890]

Good Mourning definitely counts as a ballad to me. Black Friday... not so much.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Considering that Good Mourning was, as Mustaine told, “an acoustic piece that I had”, it kind of qualifies as separate one.

[@shiffyrossell1228]

When Risk first came out I was like wtf is this crap. But now, in retrospect, what a great album.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Especially knowing that Megadeth have done a bunch of awesome thrash albums since. But back then it must’ve felt like that’s it.

[@z7846]

Megadeth 👍 🤘

[@CarRobots]

Am I crazy or has this video had like 4 titles

[@AndriyVasylenko]

You aren’t crazy. It started doing well, but then suddenly KZbin cut its exposure, so I tried a few different titles. But that “b*tch” won’t be changed 😆 at least now

[@infiction7651]

It's tolerable. In the early stuff you can barely hear it over the guitars anyways. So it works.
