That's true, he does write very honest lyrics. I never really cared too much about his voice because megadeth is an instrumental band. He sings because a singer is needed, but the vocals aren't the point of their music.

About a failed relationship, but the mood was inspired by Burton’s untimely death. It’s both in one. Confusing, I know, but Mustaine did mention this in his autobiography.

Dave mustaine is militaristic with the music. That’s what makes megadeth who they are. No mistakes and the music is on point every single note. I have been listening to them since 1987-88 can’t exactly remember because it’s a long time ago but I was a young teenager and pissed at the world and these guys made life so much better. Love megadeth!!!

The "transitions" you love so much are a result of the songwriters use of phrasing. They construct a "phrase", the chorus, verse, section of a solo, whatever, and those are tied together through modulation, dynamics, time signature and other musical tools. Just giving you another piece of terminology to use. Black Sabbath, Van Halen....part of why they're so great is their great phrasing. It's awesome to see people experience and enjoy music! P.S. The drummer on this track, Chuck Behler, was a family friend when I was a kid. The first drumset I ever played was his.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, but this is the re-recorded version of the album made in the 2000s. They cut down the reverb in the sound, completely redid the guitars and also re-recorded the drum tracks. It may technically sound better, but the over the top 80s reverb of the original will always be my fave. If you guys have time off camera, have a listen to both versions. I think this one sounds more precise, but a little lifeless in comparison to the original.

I prefer melodic, melancholic metal songs like this, and this is probably the best of them. Its full of emotion, but it has faster, rougher parts too, with perfect transitions between them, and perfect solos. Its a symphony. A lot of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden songs are like this, maybe Rammstein to some extent, but Megadeth is something else. This song probably sounds best if listened too multiple times, while feeling down a bit.

In My Darkest Hour is definitely a slower burn. I always liked it but it never topped my lists until probably ten years after first hearing it. It's one of my favorites now but if music isn't a 'grower' for you then you may never think highly of it. It is definitely a slow burn.

For a “Free Thinkers” extra credit assignment you should watch the 1988 documentary “Decline of Western Civilization: part 2”. It explores the LA Metal scene of the 80s. Megadeth is prominently featured, as well as KISS, Poison, the late/great Lenny, Aerosmith, and many of the LA bands on the scene in that era. It’s very eye opening. You’ll also see the highs and lows of the rock & roll lifestyle.

Rust in Peace is easily my favorite Megadeth album... but this is my absolute favorite megadeth song. Probably a controversial opinion but IMO this is daves magnum opus. As Ryan touched on, this song has everything in it. its proggy. the emotions change throughout the song. and the lyrics are S tier.

I second that- it's magnificent

This album is my personal favorite when it comes to Daves voice. Set The World Afire is a must listen imo

You guys GOT to do LIAR. No Liar No Balls. lolol You will LOVE IT.

You guys would love "Victory" off Youthanasia. Its a great call back to past songs and has a ton of great guitar solo work from Dave and Marty. Keep rocking guys!!!🤟

They just need to do whole youthanasia album review lol My fav that one

Having heard all megadeth songs and all your megadeth reactions, i think you would really enjoy the following ones. In no particular order: Take no prisoners, hook in mouth, Mary Jane, set the world afire, skull beneath the skin.

Would certainly be interesting to see Ryan and George react to Set The World Afire if nothing else.

I personally think they should hit some Countdown to Extinction. They haven't touched a song off that yet. Such a classic album.

Countdown to Extinction is one y'all haven't even touched yet! Symphony of Destruction is one of their classics as is Sweating Bullets. I'll be waiting....

In My Darkest Hour - helped me thru rough times numerous times. Great song. Ty for the video

The first song on So Far, the instrumental, Into The Lungs Of Hell, that is a musical masterpiece that exemplifies the late '80s shred / thrash dynamic. Guitar virtuosity and flashy playing was huge, especially since EVH changed the guitar world for awhile. Those that were their will remember.

i still get goosebumps when i hear this song 10 years later

In My Darkest Hour is a masterpiece. It's literally one of their best songs, I don't know what George it's talking about. Just because he likes certain elements from other songs doesn't mean that anything else can be less impressive or enjoyable. This song has some of the best riffs in their entire discography. Watching Ryan get hyped was great though!! Love this song.

The dude likes skull smashing fire breathing speed metal Megadeth. Nothing wrong with that. This is a good song but it’s pretty tame for Megadeth (at least at the time) until the last minute or two.

@@Wanderlust073 it's tame for megadeth and it's tame as far as any isolated song goes by itself. But placed in between a bunch of other great songs it fits perfectly. I think context is important sometimes and isolated songs don't bring that.

@@Wanderlust073 hahaha "perpetual musical blue balls" yeah I agree.. often I have to go listen to the song after watching the guys because I feel frustrated. But I get why they stop it, not hating on that. I think they also listen to the songs in full afterwards too, probably before the closing statements.

I'm probably the odd man out, but this is my favorite Megadeth album. Rust in Peace is perfection, but I groove to this album more.

You said it... Nasty and beautiful. That's what makes good heavy music memorable

Ya the ending solo was like 3 or 4 solos over top of eachother, but intermixed with eachother and layered. The emotional breakdown one goes through. Happy, Sad, Anger, Angst< Love, Hate...all at once.

Hey guys. I’m a huge fan of yours. I appreciate everything you do for the music community. Today (3/29) is my dad’s birthday. We lost him almost ten years ago. He was a great man. He’s one of the biggest reasons why I love music so much. One artist he loved is Santana. He saw him live twenty-five times. If it’s possible, would you guys be able to react to a Santana song, maybe Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen ? I think you guys would really enjoy it. I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you, have a great day, & be safe

Early Megadeth is my favorite! Please do “Hook In Mouth”…you’ll both dig that one!!!

30 minute reaction. Y’all gave it the respect this masterpiece deserves 🤘

This album needs more love, its their best one.

One of the songs that helped me through my first breakup was this. And it honestly is a song I'd sing for her just so she could know how I feel

It was written straight after Cliff died, that’s where the mistake comes from. Lyrics aren’t directly about it, the emotion is 🤘🏻RIP Cliff

I sure hope to see you guys at the Megadeth concert in Vegas this weekend.

I really, really love Megadeth.

I highly suggest Mary Jane, or Set the World Afire from this album. My personal favorite might be hook in mouth, but I don't think you guys will like that one 😆

Luke is right. Mary Jane, Hook in Mouth, and Darkest Hour are absolutely top notch on SFSGSW - up to the Megadeth standard. The album needed just a little bit more to rank up there with Peace Sells and Rust in Peace.

I want you to do "Good Mourning / Black Friday"... for the intro, cause it is incredible, and then to see if you can dig the thrashiness after...

Just stumbled across this channel from Derek Brooks compilations. Huge Megadeth fan, so awesome to see someone finally do a reaction to my favorite Megadeth song! Thank you! The way it builds and builds as you see the anger at the betrayal come more in focus is just epic.

The instrumental or the music piece is for cliff burton. He wrote the opening riff after he received the news cliff died. The lyrics were about a girlfriend.

The version you are playing almost sounds like a demo compared to the one on the album I have. A song you should really listen to is "The scorpion". It's a kick ass song with awesome lyrics!

Actually, the Melody of the song was written by Dave when Cliff passed away. The lyrics are another story. I think this song echoes on a lot of us may be because a lot of us can relate to the lyrics and be identified with them, due to a bad relationship or something like that.

HEY, George!!! You love Megadeth doing their thing, You will Love MY LAST WORDS, from Peace Sells!!!

One of thee all time greats of 80s thrash!

They should react to 'Liar' from the same album. Probably the closest metal ever got to a diss-track.

Nice video guys! Real reactions once again. Megadeth has a unique discography with interesting songs. If you listen to Dystopia, a song on their latest album also called Dystopia, you can hear that despite the unique discography they have always remained consistent with the technique, transitions etc. One of their more melodic songs is Breadline from the album Risk. Might be worth a listen to capture the diversity of the band.

"Beautiful can be nasty." Well said, man! :)

CARCASS !!!!BURIED DREAMS !!!MELODIC, GROOVY,BRUTAL ,YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

Still my favorite Megadeth album. Wore the fk out of the cassette back in the day 😝🤘

I have one suggestion to you guys,if you really want to enjoy and feel some fresh impression from another GREAT MEGADETH song wich is not so popular but it's goin to drive you high,than try to do ASHES IN YOUR MOUTH from Countdown to Extinction album.It will rip your hats off.... And also HIGH SPEED DIRTH of course
