My dad would have been cool with it as he’s a rocker at heart. His childhood favorite bands were King Crimson and Pink Floyd. My mom was a hippie and actually went to an Alice Cooper concert when she was 16, but as a mom she was a super strict conservative Christian and I literally was unable to listen to “secular” music growing up (anything not labeled Christian) until I got my own job at 16 and could buy whatever cds I wanted. I had the worst music exposure a child could have with that awful radio friendly Christian gospel soft rock I was basically forced to listen to for 16 years lol Edit: i need to find out if my mom knows Alive Cooper is actually a Christian but I do know she had to lie to her mom in order to go see him lol

Lex is beginning to intuitively comprehend music theory by ear. Guitar solos are played to a musical scale. Long story short, each scale has seven notes, and can be repeated in rising and falling octaves. So the guitarist will play a bunch of sequential notes in a particular scale up and down over and over again for the solo. Sticking to the scale means that every note they strike will sound good played sequentially. I'm drastically oversimplifying here, but Lex is picking this up simply by ear. You rock!!

The song is about the story of the guy that blamed the devil for his killings it happened in 1984 I think. Basically when Dave sings the part of what the fuck is this, and screamed is the moment that happened and the devil took over and started hammering 😆. Really dark lyrics.

@@uslegions2619 Mustaine was such a strong songwriter, and really had a grasp of the craft for arrangement and whatnot.. but I have to say one of his strongest suits was the ability to pick guitar players who were very different from him. As much of a control freak and whatnot if he can obviously be, he knew a good thing when he saw it and both those guys.. well come on.. all his choices in their own way have been spectacular. But I do miss the Chris Poland years the most I think.

One of my favorite Metal songs. In My Darkest Hour is another song of Megadeths that is killer.

Yaaaaaassss! Best Megadeth. Love the intro, Chris Poland worked this

“Bloodbaths are my way of getting clean” Best most intense kickass lyric ever!

Lately you guys have been hitting a ton of music I grew up listening to , this being a prime example. Thank you and please keep it up!

3:17 She's really observant! I have never heard a non-musician have such a detailed understanding of how the instrument is played without having lessons or someone showing you how it's done. I never would have known that's what they were doing if I was just listening to the music without knowing an instrument.

Lex has a fantastic grasp of guitar, she is a natural and has a good ear and follows the the scales/patterns. Enjoy the journey the guitar takes you on!

This whole album is pure Legendary Thrash Goodness. The killer guitar riffage at 6:04 (on this reaction vid) got me hooked on Thrash Metal when I was a wee lil fella back in the day

'Rust in Peace... Polaris' by Megadeth would be a great reaction🤘🤘🤘

This album was my first introduction to Megadeth. I instantly fell in love! I know have all their albums!

This Album is simply a MASTERPIECE

This is a banger...my last words always makes me crank the volume too

lol..I love this reaction. Brad looks confused and concerned and Lex looks like shes having the time of her life...just awesome

'In my darkest hour' was written after Cliff Burton died in 1986 and 'Rust in peace' was demoed in 1989 w/ Chris Poland on guitar. Mustaine wrote music between Megadeth tours, but was too broke & too high to write 4 albums worth of music in 1983.

it is about waiting in line during a black friday sale, and what dave wanted to do to the ppl in line… he says it in an interview

I've watched so many reactions to this song and I've never seen anyone try to explain guitar scales like this. Hell, I don't think many people even comment on the guitars themselves and mostly just talk about the song in general amd the lyrics. This was a great video and yes, guitar (and music) is based on "repeats" of note groupings. Essentially if you're in a certain key and you play on a certain scale, every note you play will sound good. Sometimes people play "wrong" notes to achieve dissonance to create certain moods too

Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson took Megadeth to a completely new level

Peace sells .. but who´s buying should be the motto for the UN xD.. This is about a man who is possessed by a demon and goes on a gruesome killing spree, which becomes known as "Black Friday." btw despite Kirk (replaced Mustaine in Metallica) being taught by Satriani, Dave Mustaine is on a level of his own, he is a METAL god, even more considering how he learned to play the guitar.

You cannot teach ears and taste. There are players that feel the music, and players that know the music. Feeling is more Universal, as it comes out as genuine and original.

I love how she's all about it. Megadeth is amazing

The lead guitarist on this, accompanying Dave Mustaine, is Chris Poland. He is a jazz fusion player with a finger injury that allows him to do wide stretches on the fretboard. A few years after this, he released his first solo album, which unfortunately for Brad is instrumental. I'd strongly suggest doing some instrumental tracks though, even if Lex just does them by herself. Best tracks by Chris Poland: Alexandria Row Of Crows Club Ded

Wow I missed a great stream...was at a Jinjer concert. My favorite Megadeth song!

My absolute favorite band all through High School!! The guitar player and drummer? They grew up in my small town. My father played guitar with Chris Poland, the lead guitarist. That's not bragging it's just pretty cool LOL

That's exactly how they play that particular lick on the guitar lol seriously

My favorite Megadeth song You guys are awesome Keep it up

*Lex* It’s seriously a shame that you’re not a musician, because you definitely have the instinct. Playing a solo is exactly like playing a piano. In Rock, it’s pretty typical to play three notes at a time... especially the faster you play. Great ear. I’ve been playing since I was 11, & am now 48, btw... Major props for your ear, & instinct.

I was 13 when this came out and I saw the Exploited at my first concert! This was always my favorite song on the tape. Oh shit! I mean the C.D., Ummm.. I mean my phone. lol. I would rewind and go back and back to this song.

Lex is a Metal Goddess and Brad is there because he has no choice.🤘🤘🤘

YESSSSS!! One of the GREATEST THRASH METAL SONGS EVER!!!! All about a serial killer on a rampage!! This album is seriously a Masterpiece!! You guys need to checkout "My Last Words" next!! From the same album and my favorite track from it!!

This woman's a keeper... Keep her

Lex asked about the guitarist being cyclical when playing and she is absolutely right. It is a scale that the notes come from and the scale is played in a certain key and the scale can be repositioned up and down the neck as long as it is in the same key. ANNNNDDD that is how solos are created….. for the most part!!!

I’ve seen so few reviews for this tune. It’s amazing guitar work

If you wanna' see Megadeth's current lead guitarist actually practicing a blistering solo, there is a video on KZread where Kiko Laureiro plays his guitar parts from, "Tornado Of Souls", which includes the solo. It was written by Megadeth's former lead guitarist, Marty Friedman and it is widely considered one of the finest solos of the genre. You'll get an idea just how talented these players actually are.

Damn Lex you really know how to pick a song to ask about riffs lol. Megadeth are known for their intricate riffing, what you were describing in the end seems to me to be basically what’s called triplets (dividing a beat into 3 equal parts) typically played in a sequence, and in this case played over in same and different positions related to the key of the song. Hope that makes sense

The Guitar sound you are hearing is called "Triplets"......Basically, 3 notes in the space of 1 note (this can go WAY higher than 3 notes) One way too make the "Triplet" sound is a technique called "Hammer on/Pull Offs", this is where the sound is made by the impact of the finger on the neck and not "picking" of the string. This can make for some very quick notes, as you heard :)

Brad is stone cold with rhythm and lyrics, Lex goes wild hopping like a bunny not listening to words

That was str8 fire!

Megadeth "sweating bullets" is a must. Very creative, funny awesomeness

i used to own this album on tape back when it was new. Its good all the way through.

So much beautiful noise!!

When people mention Megadeth, this is the song i think about, this album is ridiculous, but this song is even a notch higher. Good shit

Man y'all are giving me whiplash going from Brandy to Megadeth.

my most favorite song and this song was originally supposed to be a instrumental but the record company wanted it to be a song so Dave added these lyrics

That scream Dave makes in the intro is such a great expression of the lyric.

Check out "My Last Words" from this album, it is one of my favorite Megadeth songs. Supposedly Lars from Metallica says the same thing. I can see Lex wants to shred some guitar, love it! :) I've been playing since the early 80s when I was kid, and I know a lot of Megadeth songs. I would say in general the songs are on the more difficult end of the spectrum in terms of heavy metal stuff. Most of the riffs aren't hard to play for a decent player per se, but they often contain lots of notes, nuance, and speed, so precision is required to get them to sound right. Guitar solos are often hard to learn because the original players usually put a lot of personality in them, even if not on purpose. Many people can technically learn to play the solos, but getting them to sound exactly right is often not that easy. That is one of the cool things about the guitar though! Anyway, I also really like "Mary Jane" off the "So Far So Good So What" Megadeth album. That is one of their most fun songs to play for me, it just has these kick-ass guitar hero style riffs. Great channel BTW!

Great classic song by MEGADETH love it🤘🤘

She’s definitely a metal head at heart you go girl \m/

Lex, you’re 💯 percent correct about the guitar. Most folks play in triplets up down the neck. The lower down the neck, the higher the scale. You go low enough, and you’ll reach the next octave. Great observation.

Love all the Megadeth!😁

Yes, much lead playing is thought of in triplets, which are repetitive patterns from a fingering perspective but move the cycle through the notes within the scale to move up and down. Doesn't always have to be 3s, can be 4s, 5s, whatever, as long as you wrap up at funinsh on the root at the right time

hes talking about the day after thanksgiving sales how people kill each other....lol

My daily shout out for Roads or Glory Box by Portishead live from Roseland NYC ✌️

We were all big fans of the slasher flicks of the 70's and 80's. And it was reflected in the music that us metal heads were into. The band Rigor Mortis is a great example of that.

Thrash in its infancy, strong message leading to powerful release of anger and rage. Mostly in a crowd of the like minded and fury of a mosh pit.

Great pick! This is one of their best

What you are describing is a galloping rhythm . It’s pretty much the basis of all thrash metal sounds

One of my favorite songs ever.
