(Thoughtful Reaction To) Megadeth- In My Darkest Hour

[@dannyjoe3343]

Alot of metalheads don't like Dave's voice. I think it's perfect for metal and Megadeth. He's one of the few who can make ME feel the grief, the anger, or any altered emotional state HE'S putting into the music.

[@stephanea5364]

This song is amazing and the part where Dave make his guitar laugh when he sings «you just laugh, bitch» is a touch of magic.

[@landoakechi9406]

The Adventures of TNT Well, it’s not about Cliff, but it’s about how whoever he was in a relationship wasn’t there to help him get through the grief of finding out Cliff dying

[@trewan1519]

Dave has said in many interviews the make up of the song is the music is for Cliff and the lyrics come from his ex gf Diane I believe her name was. Which that break up has given us many great Megadeth songs.

[@EvilForgemaster]

yes, he must. after all, it's the first megadeth song ever. Dave wrote it on his way back after Metallica kicked him

[@lCREEPINGDEATH1]

One thing I always say is that getting kicked out of Metallica was the best thing for Dave, and Thrash, because after all when he dropped Killing Is My Business, nobody was playing that fast or technical not even Slayer at the time... so much aggression and virtuosity on Set The World Afire!!

[@aaronmargerum5745]

[@JoseRodriguez-eh5pc]

This song is in memory of Cliff Burton, a former band mate when Dave was in Metallica. Cliff passed away on a car accident while touring with the band in Europe. Not only Dave but the metal community in general were shocked, so he wrote this beautiful masterpiece

[@grahf9436]

Wrote the music after Cliff died but lyrically it has to do with his Ex that many of early tunes came from. Dave accused then guitarist Jeff young of sleeping with her.

[@stephanea5364]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT Yep, even in the slightest details, there are always something, like a counterpoint, a slower part of a quarter bar (sometimes just the time of a sixteenth note) just to give the kick on the ass to what come next, a change of tone in the voice, in the pronunciation of a single word, an unexpected drum pattern, and the bass in Megadeth is easy to hear.

[@Infinitah]

My eyes water when I listen to this song

[@rofyle]

The song is about the death of Cliff Burton, Metallica's original bassist. Dave and Cliff were friends back when Dave was in Metallica. Dave was already pretty deep into heroin at that time, and an incident happened with some dogs that led Dave to whooping Hetfield's ass. He was thrown out of the band immediately after, and he's harbored both regret and anger against Metallica ever since. He said he wrote this song the night word reached him that Cliff had been killed after Metallica's bus flipped

[@stephanea5364]

It's not about Cliff, it is inspired by the sadness after learning his death, and he wasn't fired immediately after kicking James ass.

I love the way you pay attention to the song and not interrupt by stopping the song to say your thoughts. Please hear 'Foreclosure of a Dream' from Countdown to Extinction.

I seen Megadeth on this tour in Miami at a cameo theater by the 3000 seat arena it was mind-blowing I was right in front of mustang and they bought all the beer for the concession stand chords regular to sell so the band can make more money does how early in the career it was and it was the best show I think I've ever seen Megadeth was so good I forgot who opened up for them they sound exactly the same live as on the album is which why I love Megadeth

[@craighenry2351]

Well, I read about this song in Dave’s autobiography (Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir) and, although the song seems pretty straightforward, he confirmed in that book, pretty much, your interpretation of the song. This cd, although heavily underrated, came during a transitional period for the band. They had just replaced the drummer and one of the guitarists from their first two recordings and would replace those replacements for Rust in Peace, which followed this cd. That Rust in Peace lineup became their classic Megadeth lineup and it lasted for 10 years. As for the song, underrated as it is, this is one of their top five alltime songs. If you like this, you may love the stuff from their previous cd, Peace Sells……But Who’s Buying. Two great songs to listen to are Wake Up Dead and Peace Sells (Their best song.).

As indicated below the song takes on multiple reasons and rational. Everybody needs to remember that Dave had A LOT going on in life. He never did get over his being fired from Metallica, Girlfriend left him and musically Megadeath was always over shadowed and compared to Metallica. Basically put, The 80's and 90's were always a struggle for him! Not sure what Cliffs death had on him but yeah sure... They were once brothers so I can see some emotions tied to it! Sadly back in the 80's I was more on the Iron Maiden and Metallica bus than on Megadeath but I knew they were a great band back then. In my opinion I didn't really jump on the Megadeath bus until Peace sells album! But hey, I was a kid in the 80's with the entire world in front of me!

[@crhawkins859]

this album was what got me heavly into thrash . love it.

[@jimlewis4853]

#RIPJelle My understanding of this song is that it briefly shows us the life of Job. When faced with the demand from God that he raise his eyes and face to reflect his own glory back at God...man wisely chose to cover his fatal wound and succumb to the patience of his Lord God to grant his death. The heavy torment after that was simply the depth of shame Job felt for whining. HAHAHA

[@amipro380]

Yea the beauty of song is the interpretation of it...especially in lhis one! On the surface it does seem to imply that it's about a relationship to a woman like a girlfriend or something but I actually have always interpreted it that it's a relationship with God.. or some other spiritual entity of sorts. It can even be interchangeable to make it even more confusing. This is one of the beauties of songs is the interpretation and either it's deliberate or unintentional.
