I'm not a Megadeth fan but I'm a fan of Van and his LFR family channel. Thanks for always being entertaining.

R.I.P. to Megadeth's original drummer Gar Samuelson, who played on the first 2 Megadeth records (this was the 2nd) before he was fired in 1987. He passed away in 1999, and Dave Mustaine credited Samuelson for his role in defining Megadeth's early sound. Dave Mustaine did most of the guitars, and one brief solo section in the middle was guitarist Chris Poland (who was also fired in '87, but played solos on a 2004 Megadeth record) Dave had written a few songs about Diana, his GF at the time, and she also inspired this song... 'Last rites/ Loved to death'.... Their breakup also inspired the Megadeth songs 'Trust' and 'Almost honest'... Mustaine married his wife Pam back in 1991 and has 2 children w/ her - son Justis and daughter Electra Mustaine... Their relationship was a rocky one, but they r still together.

Dave is a composer of the best Thrash ever. Guitar Supremacy. That's the name of the game. I'm with ya all the way with any Megadeth.

Gar Samuelson!! He was a Jazz inspired Metal drummer that had a style all his own!! One of the greatest drummers ever IMO. Gone way too soon. RIP Gar!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

This is my absolute favorite by Megadeth. What more could you need/want in a metal song. That galloping heavy riff, time changes, tempo changes, many amazing solos and the drums yeah.

Gar Samuelson was a great jazz drummer and one of the best drum breakdowns ever.

The drummer was Gar Samuelson. He and Chris Poland (the other guitarist) played together in a fusion jazz band prior to joining Megadeth. There may be some drummer's as good as Gar but nobody can put him on the shelf.

This song was crazy as hell. LOL Fun joint

This whole song is a musical masterpiece! I’d love to head bang to just the instrumental version!

I heard in a documentary once other drummers from that era talking about the drummer here, Gar Samuelson, and said he was like a praying mantis behind the drums, everything was so smooth and effortless. They said they used to watch him from the side of the stage.

That riff after the intro was used for the original season of Headbanger’s Ball on MTV

Love the whiskey face and chest rub. I learned in Scotland that if it burns, you need to drink more. "A dram a day keeps the burn away." Also, the whiskey face is perfect for the breakdown part of this song. Always a great reaction!

Sweet reaction video. The official video of this song is absolutely crazy. The band is playing onstage, encased in a cage of chain link fencing. This extends some twenty feet or more into the air, right? You got guys halfway up, thrashing about as well as MANY fans doing stage dives (remember those?) Pure mayhem and good fun,...you really should check it out.

Dave mustang is one of the best most precise guitar players I've ever listened to other than dimebag Darrel from Pantera.. You should listen to Cemetery Gates from PanterA..one of the best n saddest songs ever in my book

502 from So far, So good, So what! album, amazing song from Megadeth

Thank you for all of your honest feedback and great content! I grew up in the 80’s and on heavy metal! One love!

This was the first Megadeth song I ever heard. It was on MTVs HeadBangers Ball. Been a fan ever since.

I kind of liked this song when this album first came out, then forgot about it (This album is fantastic, but it also contains their best song, Peace Sells, which tends to overshadow even great songs like this one.).Then, about 17 years later, I saw a Megadeth concert with a live version of this song and thought I should revisit it. Now, I put it in their top ten songs. This song is a perfect example of what differentiates Megadeth from all other Thrash bands, the complex song structure Metallica does this some, but nowhere near as frequently as Megadeth does and nowhere near as quickly. Those changes, as well as key and chord changes, can make even short songs seem like they are 5 or 6 minutes long (Which is a good thing.). This song is only about 3 1/2 minutes long, but there are at least 4 tempo changes, plus multiple key changes as well. Many people who dislike metal don’t want to admit this. but these guys know their stuff (Especially this band). They aren’t just playing fast and loud. There is an art to it and a reason for everything they do. This song is a perfect example of that.

👏 the like! This is a clinic! Great song 🎵

Great song. RIP Gar. You gotta watch the video for this!

Saw them in concert in 1988. Didn’t always know the lyrics back then. No Internet.

I think you're ready for the band "Death".. they have 7 incredible albums and the possible founders of Death Metal. Check out the title track "Symbolic"... with lyrics.. you're welcome

Megadeth is one of my favorite bands! You need to see them in concert 🤘🖤🤘

Love how you list the lyrics as they come up. Really helps people follow along without giving too much away. Thanks for the extra work!

I'm really glad you are going down this path!!! Tornado of souls!!!

My Favorite from this album. A blast to watch you react to it. Love you dude.

*Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour"*

You should just react to " I aint superstitious." Please. You'll love it. It's got some blues to it and its not even 3 minutes long.

thanks more early megadeth, cheers bloke from Australia

😎👍 Please check out their song Hook In Mouth

I have been following you for your view on politics and whatever but didn’t know you did music reviews, love that you can objectively listen and appreciate what i grew up listening to my whole life.👊👍 I’m a 53 year old male BTW.

Hahahha best reaction. One of the hardest tracks ive heard, Megadeth is serious business

Liar is a good one from Megadeth. If you want a goofy song check out Don't Call Me Dude by Scatterbrain

Loved the reaction, great seeing people reacting to multiple genres of music. There is too much out there to be closed minded! Subbed and Subscribed!

there is something magical about someone discovering music you have loved for decades and seeing that reaction.

Cincinnati Reds dope hat. I'm a Rockies fan myself.

This is one of songs from megadeth I like, RIP Gar samuelson

I hit the like .

You need to go back to the beginning and listen to a few songs off Megadeth's first album, Killing is My Business... Any of these three songs would be a good jumping in point, 'Last Rites/ Love to Death', 'Rattlehead' or 'Looking Down the Cross'. There's not a bad song on this album so any of the original eight songs off the original mix would be great. There are two remastered versions. While both remastered versions make up for the less than stellar sounds of the original, I prefer the original as many others do to. Megadeth!

I laugh out loud when u play that solo and look at your watch😂😂👍🏼

To piggyback on my previous comment, it is amazing to watch Megadeth after the early years. Metal is a chaotic musical form, but through all that chaos and histrionics, Dave maintains the most orderly metal concert I have every seen. I don’t know how he stays so calm playing the blistering solos he does (Quite honestly, most of his guitar work is blistering, solos or not.). Even his body language is calm, despite the speed and volume at which Megadeth plays.

Actually a pretty funny take on Diana's name check! Never thought of it that way. HA

Hell yeah. 3:12 on Van's face was like all of ours in the 80's when this shit dropped. It's a fuckin masterpiece.

I heard this song live it was awesome

They sound like a lovely couple.

it was the checking the watch for me haha good vid man. definitely a good soon song to listen to for anyone getting onto metal

Due at 3:23 is chris poland. check his album return to metalopolis out.

This song...the best transition of metal music history💪🤘

Hey Van! Glad you got to this. Gar was on another level

Megadeth - Holy wars bro!!!

RIP GAR

BEST HEAD BANGING SONG OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, listen to peace sells but who's buying by megadeth... on youthinasia is an awesome song.. Dave mustang was one of the original Metalica band members

The song came out when I was 16 and I think I played wake up dead on the guitar for 3 months straight.

Gar samuelson and chris poland excelent

Lamb of god just covered this and it's even heavier now

Two guitar player's, always with Megadeth! Diana was Dave Mustaines ex -Girlfriend....................Singer and Guitar player!

Makes you wonder if it was the same Dianna Michael Jackson sang about? Dirty Dianna? 🤔

“Why’d you have to say my name, Charles?” - Diana

You must check out Dave mustaine and lamb of God remake it's amazing

Man are we on the same psych level swear I was talking I this very phrase today on waking up dead. Weird vibes today that deja Vu thang

I'm clapping I'm clapping my feet are clapping my shoes are clapping my potato chips are clapping my popcorns clapping Clapper de clap de clap clap

I need a laugh emoji. Funny I was just listening to this and you popped up. Hey I love metal and rap,the only two music's saying anything thats even relevant . I mean even new country music is stuck on the same 5 subjects.

2 Guitarists doing all that,,,,,,along with a bass of course

This is the most hardcore song about cheating ever made.

Chris Poland is crazily under-rated, but his work on this album is amazing

Only about three minutes, but dang

Megadeth's members were like 20 years here; you cannot take the lyrics 100% serious. It is halfway cool/good, halvway serious.

Hi

Crown?

2 records and I’m out. Dave played more riffs in one song than most bands played on their entire record. Gar was a beast on the kit! RIP.

Haha. Fucking awesome. Loved this tune since 87

I'm happy you recognized the play of the drummer, Gar was super talented! Drugs ended his career

I always think because he doesn't say "My other lover", instead he says "the other, other lover". It makes me think he has 3 girls. Maybe he just repeats other for artistic purposes, but if I was talking to a guy and he said his other, other lover, I'm gonna think he's got 3 girls.

Lol it’s only 2 guitarists and a bassist but it’s all good

Don't worry...Diana don't listen to metal

you need to check out some Clutch!! ;)

Megadeth- peace sells Do yourself a favor and pull up lyrics.
