The drums on these albums were also very enjoyable. Not very much like modern tight metal drums, more like old school rock with a lot of reverb and mushiness, but it still works well for the songs.

God I miss the ball lol. Those were truly classic days for metal. Even if we had to put up with rachtman. It did tickle me how over him a lot of the bands seemed when they did interviews.

My favorite tune of Megadeth is on this same album "Wake up Dead" a must listen. The epitome of a metal song. So good in all respects.

Megadeath really is like: "I hate the government" *15 minute guitar solo*

It's cool. I actually know Chris Poland. He has a fusion power trio that regularly plays at this little place near me called the Baked Potato. The place is so small it's like a living room and everyone, guests and performers hang out in the back between sets as there's no back stage. I have a CD of stuff I wrote when I was studying music theory and he actually really likes it. Every few months he tells me he was cleaning his house and he came across it and listened to it again and he still likes it. Very flattering

If he does it I hope he reacts to the original version and not to the awful 2004 remaster

My first Megadeth album and one of my favorites. Frontman Dave Mustaine recalled the writing of this song to Rolling Stone: "I was homeless at the time, and I was living in a rehearsal place in Vernon, California. I was seeing a girl, Diana - there were a lot of songs I wrote about her. I actually wrote the lyrics to that song on the wall, in that building. I didn't have any paper in the studio, but I had a Sharpie, so I just wrote on the wall. Whoever inherited our rehearsal room after I moved out, saw the original lyrics to 'Peace Sells' on the wall. They probably painted right over it and didn't even know it." According to former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland, Dave Mustaine originally conceived this as an 8-minute piece before drummer and close friend Gar Samuelson talked him out of it. Poland told Xtreme Metal Radio: "I think originally it was eight minutes long, and Gar said, 'You know what? This is too good a song to drag it out like this. Let's shorten the arrangement, cut it down to size and make it a single.' Dave said, 'Yeah, let's do that.' I honestly think Dave respected Gar's opinion on stuff - he was the only guy in the band Dave wouldn't mess with. He totally respected Gar, and thank God he did, If Gar hadn't talked Dave into shortening the song." Mustaine also penned the opening bassline, which became famous for being used as the theme for MTV News.

this is one of my favorite albums of all time. I'm a 56 year little "old" lady and I still listen to it regularly (though usually in the car, as I don't want to disturb my neighbors - I did grow up a little bit ;) I remember seeing Megadeth on several occasions at both L'Amour and the Ritz in NY. Quality of the performance was always iffy as no joke, those guys were hell bent on self destruction with booze and heroin among other things, but when they were good....omg it was just beautiful blazing raw thrashing power. So glad you reviewed this one, and enjoyed it!

Inspiring!

Is there anything better than watching classically trained musicians turn into full pledge Metal Heads? Maybe the rap and hip hop dudes turning into Metal Heads. But in either case, it's just such a joy to witness people click with the genre and start to get the whole attitude; when they start headbanging naturally because they are so into the music, that's just cool to see -- it's like YES! YOU GOT IT! The Metal community is so in love with their music and just want to share the experience they have with everyone they can. Doug, you're a blessing. I love learning the details of all of my favorite songs, and you've hit so many that I adore. Appreciate ya! I remember in high school 1999 I had just become a metal head via Metallica, and a friend of mine showed me the Peace Sells album cover, and I thought it was so cool I was like "one of these days I know that's going to be one of my favorite albums." When I had finally listened through the entire Metallica catalogue, I bought Rust in Peace and was like '....oh.....my......God!' It remains one of my fav albums some 20+ years later. Same with Peace Sells. The FIRST concert I saw was Megadeth and they closed on Peace Sells as the encore. It was freaking AWESOME! Peace!

The first two Megadeth albums were really special because Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson came from a Jazz/Fusion background (They previously played together in a Fusion band) and their musical influence combined with Dave's riffs really set Megadeth apart. "Good Mourning/Black Friday" is another song from this album worth checking out (the whole album is a masterpiece), Chris Poland's guitar solos are incredible and the lyrics are really dark and gruesome.

Gar Samuelson was a Jazz drummer, the whole album is magnificent!!!

Absolute Classic metal song

They've played it for 40 years, but the message is as true now as any other time in the last 4 decades. If that angst is from a place of truth, I doubt it's hard to muster the energy to perform, for this track at least.

Doug, this was one of the first songs by them that I had ever heard. It was the Summer of my 16th year and I had been listening to ragae when this cassette crossed my path and opened up a new world for me. I am glad you enjoyed it!

This song hits you like a tidal wave of energy and aggression.

You got that classical composer hair and I love it! Yes, this was the second song I ever heard from Megadeth and I still love it to this day. Great riffs!

Glad you reacted to this song, it's one of my favorite ones too. Hope you put "A Tout Le Monde" later down the line, great song too.

Never seen you headbang before, and I'm here for it!

As much as I enjoyed your reaction to the music, your lyrically analysis and appreciation of the song is what really stood out to me. Great video!

Pretty cool! I didn't dig to deep into their catalog but I did get their 1990 album "Rust In Peace" back in the day and was really impressed! A couple favorite cuts are "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" and "Take No Prisoners"!

Hell yeah! Dude, this was awesome!

Black Friday!!!!!!!!!! A monsterous song!

That song is badass!

The song isn't long, or overly complex. It just drives forward and sends its message... but that drive is impressive and engaging, and the message is universally true and deserves saying. Great song. I've loved since I heard it. The song came out when I was in grade 5 or 6, with the video on MuchMusic.

The video is sooooooooo worth watching, especially for the father-son "I want to watch the news!" scene they added into the song

Doug! This was my favorite of your reviews! I Really connected with the energy of hearing this song for the first time. Mine of course was when the album came out. Great insight and commentary. Keep headbanging! By the end your hair was very Wolverine looking. Peace. What a concept. 🤓

This was the album that connected me with Megadeth. Has changed, evolved but this will always be my reference point on this band. Not just the song, the whole album.

You were banging your head just as hard as I was the first time I heard it. You have to react to this whole album.

Doug Ive been in many bands playing drums and bass. I can honestly say that you've helped me learn my notes 😅.. because I can't read music , learned only by ear..Thanks

bought this album when it was released and still one of my favorite albums of all time. fav track good mourning / black friday which i play every friday 13th to this day

The entire album is a banger. I had the album cover poster in my room. Drove my mother insane. Mission accomplished.

This is my teen years lol. I dunno if they came out the same year, but I bought this and Anthrax persistance of time, and the same time, and loved them both as much!

I remember when this came out, and I've been hooked since.

You should do Holy Wars next. It's mind-blowing.

Doug automatically headbanging to thrash with enjoyment.. I especially enjoyed when Doug said, " need to back up," Doug, love all your Metal reactions. Would like to see more Queensryche reaction videos...

I heard them live for the first time last summer. And of all their raging songs, Peace Sells was by far the best for me, even though I've listened to it 100 times. The progression in this song is incredible.

This came out for me in 9th grade. It blew us away ❤

This song is a HYMN... The músic and the lyrics are great

Listen to the whole album!!! Start to finish, it will blow your face off!!!

Without a doubt my favorite Megadeath album by far still to this day, every single song is different from the next.

Still one of my favorite metal albums. Just incredible.

You mean you show them the lies. The Next Megadeth song you should jam to is " A Tout Le Monde " This song will be very different from what you would expect from Megadeth.

I was 16 when Peace Sells came out and it was in the middle of the "hair/glam metal" era. It was interesting to watch MTV at the time and you would see Crue, Poison, Ratt, Bon Jovi videos and then this video was thrown in the mix and most people were like "WTF is this?". Definitely a great time to be alive and I still think the album Peace Sells is Megadeth's finest work

The album cover art is one of my favorites from this era ('Master of Puppets' was great, too), with Vic as a real estate agent in front of the bombed-out UN building. Dave's point about heavy metal stars not being stupid is driven home in an excruciating manner during his appearance on celebrity Rock n Roll Jeopardy! kzread.info/dash/bejne/lXWJqtWMc7m2h84.html The video quality is terrible, but it's still a must-see. Dave is such a monster.

Love this song

Sup Doug! Other than changing the scene of Thrash Metal, Megadeth has also brought you a new subscriber! Yea me! lol. When this song first came out, I bought the cassette because it had a really cool album cover. Little did I know the effect it would have on me and many teens I knew at the time. Being a rebellious kid, I had no real direction on where those feelings would lead to. Music like this and Metallica could channel our anger at society and whoever we felt was holding us back. We were looked down upon for our long hair, the way we dressed and the music we banged our heads to. lol. This music was so intense that listening to it would calm the anger and help us chill. Could have been the joints also. Haha. I can remember being so pissed off and feeling the rage. I'd put on some thrash metal and crank it as loud as it could go and let the intensity burn it out. Even to this day I find Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer and others so very calming. Given I have matured and my musical taste have broadened, it is still a blast to head bang to this, even if I can't grow the hair long anymore....WooHooo old age... Peace my friend, keep up the reactions

Excellent video : - ) They got a lot of other bangers and a lot to say, enjoy

Awesome

You're talking about the PMRC hearing and the "Filthy 15" which included artists like Twisted Sister, Madonna, ACDC, Prince, Motley Crue, Cyndi Lauper etc... but only 3 people out of the entire global music industry, took a stand against them on behalf of all artists worldwide, the recording industry and censorship. it was shocking how everyone was just willing to bend over and take. Everyone, but three people. Those three people were Frank Zappa, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister (who gave the most intelligent testimony) and John Denver who unquestionably gave the most damning testimony. Why? Because he was beloved, even though the pmrc thought his song Rocky Mountain High was about drugs (which it wasn't). John Denver compared the government before him to Nazi Germany in regards to Hitler burning books and taking away peoples rights. It shut the pmrc up real quick! Arguably the recording industry won because although the pmrc thought they won (and "technically did) by the creation of the "Parental Advisory" stickers that had to go on albums. All that did in the long run was boost those album sales. So it backfired bigtime! 🤣 If you haven't checked it out, there's a film called "Warning: Parental Advisory" that came out in 2002 about the hearing and it's great. Dee Snider plays himself, he reenacts a part of his actual speech (which is available on youtube for those interested; it's amazing!) I wish his entire testimony was in the film (all three of them really, but the cut it short for time). I remember watching the hearing live when I was 11.

Frank Zappa spent much of the last decade of his life fighting the PMRC's stupidity. He even turned parts of the senate hearing into a musical composition called "Porn Wars", included on the album FZ Meets The Mothers Of Prevention. A fascinating and disturbing piece of music. And he didn't testify before the Senate, but Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys later also became a strong voice against the push for rock censorship.

My favorite album. I love your reaction.

The older I get the more I see the genious in what Dave have done! Is is there with Chuck, Dimebag, Randy and Jimmy... The only differeces is that he is still here...

After you hear this for the first time, it will never leave you alone and haunts you forever. In a good way, you know ! Happened to me in 1986 and it´s still going on. Not that I´m complaining. One of THE riffs of all time and maybe Mustaine´s best vocal acting ever. Clever lyrics performed perfectly in your face.

Post American World, would be a great song of theirs for you to listen to. Dave has always written thought provoking lyrics

I humbly nominate "this was my life" for your next megadeath listen

I remember buying Judas Priest Unleashed in the East album...And I F#cking haaaaated it, I thought it sucked so bad, I didn't know it was a live album and I hate live albums. But I forced my self to listen to it again and again, after about 15 times listening to the album it clicked and now I think it's one of the greatest live metal albums hands down.
