The solo of this song is from another planet

Yep, that's Marty Friedman. 🤘🏻

There are two types of guitar solo; fast and emotional. Normally more fast it is, it gets less feeling, but somehow Marty managed to achieve both feeling and speed at the same time! Just unbelievable...

28 years later and I still get goosebumps listening to this

MEGADETH -Symphony of Destruction.That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires

One of the most iconic solos in the metal.

His face is like "I haven't been listening to 'music' in my life." lol

Marty Friedman's finest hour. A goddamn piece of art. And, excuse my french, a solo Kirk Hammett couldn't even think to play in his wildest dreams.

I like Alex, seems like a legit positive minded dude. Im a 15 plus year metal veteran (age 29), so seeing him geek out over old favorites of mine is alot of fun for my jaded ass. That said, I have learned of a few new bands through this channel and hearing something for the first time alongside the man is alot of fun. Thanks Alex

Megadeth - Peace sells!! please alex!

4:23 That face is definitely the one that anyone has when the riff of Tornado of Souls is being playing! And at this point 5:16 is when the best part of the video starts! Because the face this guys has after listening to the BEST GUITAR SOLO IN THE HEAVY METAL MUSIC HISTORY is quite obvious! Peace, a Braindead Metalhead! 👋

Nobody sings while playing incredibly difficult guitar licks like dave mustaine. Dude is a genius

That Marty Friedman solo is one of the most emotive metal solos of all time! The wailing and note bending is perfect with the concept of the song being about the death of a relationship. Kudos Hef!!! You just experienced a legendary song!

Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour PLEEEASE ALEX REACT TO IT!!!!

Angrier, grittier, thrashier is the word you are searching for. If Megadeth's music was a person, it would be a non-stop killing machine.

Lmao you should do a "metalhead reacts to hip hop" on april 1st.

Iron maiden fear - fear of the dark live at rock in rio...PLEASE

Megadeth has always been more focused on technical mastery in their music Edit: holy crap, almost 2 years later and I’m now seeing how many likes I’ve gotten on this comment

The word you are looking for is "Thrashier". We believe you meant to say "Megadeth is thrashier then Metallica." And you would be correct!

Us metalheads had the same reaction when listening to the solo for the 1st time.

Pantera-floods you can't ignore it forever xD

FINALLY! I had the biggest grin on my face seeing you react to the beginning of the solo, cause I knew you had no idea what was coming! Awesome reaction and awesome video. Other suggestions from Megadeth: Hangar 18, Rust in Peace, The Disintegrators, She-Wolf and Kill the King.

Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction honestly,you’re missing out big time if you don’t listen to this song,it’s one of the only Megadeth song that all metalheads can agree is kickass

And that is the GREATEST SOLO IN METAL HISTORY!!!!

Iron Maiden - Rime Of The Ancient Mariner next. It’s like 3 songs in one. I guarantee you’ll love it

That moment when the solo started. My thought: "Alex, shut up, you are listening FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME the BEST METAL SOLO EVER. And you shuted up and wowed it. Damn, I remembered my first hearing :'( It was soooo beautiful. Congratulations, Alex, you've just discovered the solo.

I've said this before, but I don't think Dave Mustaine gets enough credit as being one of the greatest rhythm guitarists of all time. The lead guitarists usually get all the glory/respect. But Dave's rhythm riffs are so bad-ass and sooo creative. His rhythms usually go way beyond the scope of other more simplistic rhythm guitar riffs, like most rhythm guitarists are basically just trying to be a "treble" version of a bassist.

One of the dirtiest riffs ever written

The face you made at the end of the solo... priceless :D

Tenacious D - Kickapoo

Rust in Peace was my very first thrash metal album. After that one I was blown away and instantly became a die hard Megadeth fan

It’s funny that sometimes you slow down Marty’s guitar solo you’ll find there’re some weird notes that doesn’t fit in the key but it works and sounded totally cool while he plays it. His exotic sound is so unique

What you just heard is heralded as one of the greatest guitar solos in metal of all time. This whole album is just a straight up masterpiece. Metallica was one of my first metal bands ever. I remember at age 13 hearing the song "Battery" for the first time when I picked up the Master of Puppets cd. It was love at first sight. However, Megadeth IN MY OPINION are more technical, nastier/grungier, have more studio albums, and a better catalogue. But I LOVE BOTH though! Megadeth is my #1 and Metallica is my #2. Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, and Avenged Sevenfold are my #3, 4, and 5. Alex, here are some Megadeth songs you MUST listen to! Symphony of Destruction Five Magics Take No Prisoners Washington is Next! Dystopia Conquer or Die Wake up Dead Peace Sells, but Who's Buying? In My Darkest Hour Trust Die Dead Enough Blackmail The Universe

I was SO hyped for you to hear that solo! That solo goes down as one of the band's most iconic solos ever.

That solo was pure Marty Friedman madness! So fucking good!

i love watching people reacting to this song. i wish i remember the first time i listened to this song. this song is an absolute masterpiece and watching people realize this makes my day, you can really see the light in their eyes glow up

Megadeth is like ..........going out in the rain an playing in the mud rockin some heavy thrash metal . Metallica .......is when to come back inside take a shower , put on some warm clean clothes and thrash out as heavy . :) It can go either way ......hense the hating . You can't please everyone :P Please react to .......... Slave Labor by Fear Factory :)

Hands down to the best Megadeth song ever and the best solo ever written

Every reaction video I see to this song, I die watching them react to the solo. They never see it coming.

I like all four of the big four now. However it wasn’t always like that. I started with Metallica (and liked them only) but eventually made my way all the way up to Slayer. Personally I respect all of them not only for their music n talent but also how each of them influenced so many musicians and genres in their own unique ways. They all are legends in my book.

Do “the big four” (Metallica, Megadeth. Anthrax, Slayer) covering am I evil.

Awesome reaction! I think everyone has the same reaction to the solo lol, you should definetly do Symphony of destruction, or Peace Sells! Rock on man!

Finally! I've been waiting for you to react to this one for almost as long as I know your channel.

"this is honestly too cool" *Coolest part kicks in*

Next Megadeth needs to be Hangar 18 (full studio album version, NOT music video), it'll blow your mind! :D

MEGADETH - HANGAR 18

I remember going to buy this album first thing in the morning on the day it came out. The goosebumps I got on that day on my first listen still come back all these years later. The whole thing is a masterpiece of music

I love watching these videos every morning before class with some coffee. Gets me pumped for the day!

Steve Vai - For The Love of God live with the Holland Metropole Orchestra

Megadeth = Banger solos! And hell-of-a-riffs! :D I mean, the "Rust In Peace" album is the best metal album there is (in my view anyway;))! Still pleading for Blind Guardian "Mirror Mirror" or "Nightfall" (recommend live from Wacken) =) Adding Insomnium "While We Sleep" :D

Love watching you react to my favorite song of all time. The guitar in this song is insanely gripping, intense and catchy. Love it!

I wish I could go back and listen to Metallica and megadeth for the first time again.

Easily one of the best solos ever made! The first time when i listened to this song, i was just mind-blown.

Dope ass video reaction before I go to sleep 😊😊 Megadeth - A tout le monde next alex ☺ plsss

It was about time! Great video man!

24 years ago today this album dropped. It's 2020 and this song is still my ringtone.

Ne Obliviscaris-Intra Venus 🤘

React to Mr. Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne If you thought that This solo was good (it is good), you gotta check that solo out. The best solo of all time imo!

Allegaeon “Proponent for Sentience III- The Extermination “ Two amazing lead guitarists and great lyrical content to react to

My lord the clips he’s throws in are on point 😂 this is quickly becoming my favorite reaction channel!

Rammstein - Engel

check out some of "Death"s stuff

I still get excited as it approaches the solo whenever I watch anyones reaction to this song

I saw your reaction to master of puppets and was pleased to see you gave this a go. It is pure pleasure to see someone hear and appreciate the fine artistry of this song, grungy melodic frantic and controlled chaos in the guitar parts. Your reaction videos rock

Helloween - If I could fly

Sabaton - Primo Victoria Powerwolf - Demons are a girls best friend Hammerfall - Bloodbound Gloryhammer - Uiverse on fire Band-Maid - Thrill

Marty Friedman is my guitar hero. Yet I still can't play any of his solos 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

The reason I love your channel is you try to get behind the music and understand the story. People dislike metal because they do not look beyond the surface. It takes something incredible to create a song like this. Awesome man... Cheers.

Korn - falling away from me

megadeth - a tout le monde

How did this escape my radar? Was looking forward to this :) I feel the same every time for 20 years.

Watching them in concert was a real treat. One of the best concerts I've seen.

SLAYER - ANGEL OF DEATH

No Blind Guardian until now, please, do one reaction!!

Hello from France man. Megadeth is a bomb. But i'd like to see you react to my favorite group again. Really powerful music right there : - Machine Head - Halo (the album version of course) (personnal favorite) - Machine Head - Davidian - Machine Head - Darkness Within I'll just stop here for now. Continue the good work ;D Your journey has just begun !

Between this And your video of “what is a woman” (I’m learning tornado of souls on guitar) Officially subscribing

Pantera - Floods

At The Gates - Blinded By Fear Please.

Im not even kidding, this solo made me cry once

I just found you recently and I absolutely love your vids!!! You should do an ice nine kills reaction to communion of the cursed or thank god its Friday. If you liked motionless in white they kinda have the same type of sound. Keep up the good vids. :P

Megadeth - Dread and the Fugitive Mind

Megadeth - Looking down the cross Megadeth - Skull Beneath the Skin

I love reactions to this song! At 5:45 he gasps as if he has forgotten to breathe, and then the stunned and amazed look on his face says it all!

That reaction of the solo... That look you made... :D Spot on!

Blind Guardian - Imagination From The Other Side

Alice In Chains - Nutshell ERRA - Dementia Pantera - Floods

This is my fav megadeth cd Marty Friedman is an incredible guitarist his solos come at you and then take pin point turns on a dime his playing reminds me of something exotic middle eastern I don't know what it is but it just is not predictable his changes are fluid and his time is incredible I'm glad you liked it since Marty he has had Chris Broderick and now Kiko

Cheers from Paraguay dear Alex!!! My wife and I LOVE your channel.. PLEASE do Mr Crowley from Izzy,thank you and may you have a DOPEASSDAY !!!

React to Metallica - Damage inc.

For about 5 years as a child, all I listened to was Metallica. Then I bought the soundtrack to the movie Last Action Hero with Arnold Schwarzenegger and “Angry Again” by }{V}{EGADET}{=}{ was on there and for about 2 years, I was like Metallica who? Lol. That was 25 years ago. Now I love both bands equally, but Metallica’s first 4 albums always seemed to just be beefier than any of the other big 4 bands. Megadeth was more technical and had a sharper edge, Slayer was Evil and fast, and Anthrax was just fun to listen to. Exodus is another contender with the beefiness though. Gary Holt is a of a guitarist.

FUUUUCK YEEEEEAH!! Loved this reaction to an excellent tune! I especially loved when your jaw hit the table while Dave was shredding! LOL 🤘🤘🤘

OMG yes was waiting for this for such a long time AWESOME🔥🔥 Next megadeth song HANGAR 18😊😊

Megadeth-Wake Up Dead.

Amazing megadeth!!! Please do Meshuggah - Demiurge🤘🏻

Megadeth is a precious diamond that u can find on metal world...try to discover more of them song bro.. n u can feel the tornado of guitar melodies & sweet lyrics from there...Enjoy!!

Ive been listening to Megadeth for 25 years until now the excitement is still there... everytime I hear this song I was like "Fuucccckkkk!!!"

Dantes Inferno- Iced Earth

For next time: In my Darkest hour, Hangar 18, Peace sells. Great video Alex, love your reactions. Keep it going bro!

That fuckin solo give me goosebumps every time

The best solo I've ever heard from Megadeth. Comes in my top 5 favorites. Others are Mr Crowley (My absolute fav) by Ozzy Osbourne, Stream of Consciousness by Dream Theater, Hollow Years (Live at Budokan version) by Dream Theater (yes I'm a big-time fan of John Petrucci), For the Love of God by Steve Vai and Eruption (No details needed).
