"Can Megadeth do this live?" Yes. I went to a concert and Megadeth played the entire Rust in Peace album. They were fantastic.

Fun fact about Nick Menza: his dad was the guy who played saxophone on The Pink Panther theme.

This whole album was Dave taking the rest of the industry to school. A technical marvel.

One of my favorite concerts ever was getting to see Megadeth do the entire Rust in Peace album. Perfection.

The Polaris was never used outside of testing So in the end the warheads are in fact rusting in peace

When Megadeth recorded RIP, Guns n Roses was recording in the studio down the hall, and Slash kept swinging by and bringing clips to the band, going 'you guys are not going to believe what they are doing over there!'. One listen and this became my favorite album. 25 years later, it remains one of my favorites. It never gets old. I still love playing along with all these songs on guitar. It's an absolute masterpiece that will endure for eternity. Probably the single best lead guitar showcase of all time between Marty and Dave (who deserves way more credit than he gets as a lead guitarist). Can't say enough about the greatness of RIP.

Symphony Of Destruction is an absolute groove monster that you two will definitely love.

"Ashes in your mouth" should also be big request for you.

A lot of people refer to Megadeth as "technical" like that's the main thing that someone would listen to them for. I'm a massive Megadeth fan and I tell you I don't give a fck about the fact that something is technical or not, I love Megadeth for their super nasty riffage, jazzy-swing-fast grooves, adrenaline pumping drums and beautiful melodies.

Rust in Peace Polaris is the epilogue of this masterpiece. Is Mustaine and the band doing the heaviest song (lyrically and musically) of the record to give us a last shot of what the world could actually look like if a nuclear war happens and talking in the perspective of the missile. For me, everytime I see in the news some nuclear test from some country, this song comes to mind. It's totally dark and heavy. Dave on a genius songwriting level on this one. And yes, they've played this live. A lot of times.

The UGM-27 Polaris was a submarine-launched nuclear ballistic missile (SLBM) used by the US & UK navies between 1961 and 1996. It was the first American SLBM, and carried 3 reentry vehicles (bombs) of 200 kilotons yield each. That's what Dave is talking about.

And this was Nick Menza’s first album behind the kit. He was a roadie up until this point. Marty walked in off the street and laid down some crazy stuff. A little note - Dave and Dave had most of this written before Nick and Marty came in and gave it their touches. Chris Poland - the original guitar player - played a lot of the solos in pre-production. All that said, easily the original release is probably one of the top 5 greatest metal albums ever. Master of Puppets, South of Heaven, Black Sabbath, Rust in Peace, and add another record of your liking. And Rust in Peace is probably the technically proficient. Bye the way, they can definitely do this live. They could do it then and can still do it now. Absolutely badass record!!!

The UGM-27 Polaris was a nuclear missile system used on U.S. submarines from the 1960s and 1970s. What's funny (or maybe "interesting" is a more accurate word than "funny") is that when the album came out (in 1990), the Polaris missile had been retired for 10 years (U.S. submarines have carried variants of the Trident missile system since 1979). This song is a great example of how many thrash musicians in the United States, like their punk counterparts in the United Kingdom in the 1970s, were heavily influenced by the Cold War doomsday that hung over their heads as kids and teenagers.

RIP was a snapshot of a band of virtuosos at their absolute peak.

Ive seen Megadeth live around 20 times. They are super professional and always bring it!

You should really do Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia - two killer albums.

It's been said a million times, but Rust In Peace changed the game and it had even the hardest metal and even the hardcore technical metal heads taken a back by what Megadeth did. It is meant to be heard a lot and to discover more each time it's heard. And yes, Megadeth can and did do this live. When they were on, untouchable. The following tour on Countdown to Extinction was arguably one of their most consistent and best live show tours. They were playing at a very high level and I saw it live. Thanks for a great reaction again guys!

You guys have taken me back. This album and Countdown To Extinction were in my regular rotation in my high school days. I'd love to see you do Countdown if you haven't already.

I saw them play this whole album live...they are amazing to see live.

Fun fact:Dave didn't perform this liver until 25 anniversary for the album. The reason: it's highly difficult to sing and play the guitar because how different the used chores are to Dave's voice notes. He finally learned how to do it just so they could play the whole album.

You guys gotta do some songs off youthanasia. A lot more mainstream and traditionally structured songs you guys would probably like more. Blood of heroes, killing road, and addicted to chaos are a few you should check out.

List of Megadeth songs i think yall would like to react to: -Dread And The Fugitive Mind - A Tout Le Monde - Good Mourning Black Friday - She Wolf (Rude Awakening live version) - Skin O' My Teeth - Angry Again - Addicted To Chaos - Trust - Killing Is My Business And Business Is Good - Dystopia - Fatal Illusion - The Sick, The Dying And The Dead - Celebutante - Rattlehead - FFF

Time to do a live megadeth song. “She wolf” live from the rude awakening Dvd will melt your faces.

I got introduced to you guys through the Holy Wars (and so did a lot of other people, I’d wager) video, so it’s fun to see it come full circle. I’m happy to see how successful you guys have been and that you’ve been able to grow your channel nicely. Looking forward to what’s next!

Was really cool to see you guys finish out this legendary album. Based off of what you've liked about Megadeth so far I think you should check out some tracks from Youthanasia, much more groove and melody focused and almost no thrash. I also think Dave's voice sounds the best on that album. (I always like his voice though lol)

If you like Megadeth's technical virtuosity you must check up the band Coroner. The Best technnical thrash band ever. Reborn Through Hate, Skeleton on your shoulder, Why it Hurts, About Life, Serpent Moves are some of their songs of their flawess discography

Great channel guys! I just discovered a couple days ago and have been binging. You guys bring a big smile on this old metalhead/Drummer s face and heart ❤️🤘. 🤘😎🖖🇨🇦

Polaris rewards repeat listens, took me like 3-5 attempts now it’s my favourite on the album. Love that they drill the riffs into your head.

If you have any doubts about whether Megadeth can play live... they play all of it and never miss a note. If you still have doubts... watch any performance on the Hammersmith Apollo show in 1992. My personal favourite is their performance of Ashes in Your Mouth during that show.

Have you guys done Good Mourning/Black Friday yet? That's the best Megadeth joint..

Next full album should be So Far, So Good, So What... I really think the rhythm section will pull you guys in.

George saying “whew,” and shaking his head at that bridge part says it all.

Been subbed for over 6 years, you guys are still the best at it.

Just finished your DMX review when I got the notif for this, lets goo

Can they do it live? Check out the live version of She Wolf. It's kinda tame on the album, but the live version is a real showcase of Dave's talent.

Its time. Rust in Peace, polaris. Cant wait

And not to mention dave singing the entire time while he’s shredding faces

I saw Megadeth on this tour and they killed it!!

You guys both really liked The Conjuring by them as well, off of Peace Sells. Understandably, because it's one of their best.

Every now and then an album comes along that stands above the rest, all the right people at the height of their powers, in the right frame of mind come together at the right time to create something will be looked back on as a seminal moment in music history.... this album is one of those albums. Masterpiece from start to finish!

You guys talk about songs that have more of a groove feel by them. Addicted to Chaos and Of Mice and Men have that and they both tell very personal stories.

Polaris was a missile system, the first ballistic missile launched from a sub. The payload could be a 1 megaton warhead, the other was 3, 200 kiloton warheads. 1 megaton is equivalent to 1 million tons of TNT, the Hiroshima bomb was equal to about 15 tons of TNT. (edit) it;s actually 15 thousand tons

When I first heard the "Rust In Peace" album when it came out, I knew I was listening to something special. Now, over 30 years later, it is still just SCORCHING hot. A landmark metal album that stands out even among great albums. Megadeth might not be my favorite metal band, but "Rust In Peace" is one of my all time favorite albums and always will be.

Yes. They do it live.

I saw Megadeth on this tour. They sounded just like the album live. I stood in front of Marty as he hit every note of the Tornado Of Souls solo. Masters of their trade.

There's another end of the world megadeth song with an intro as well from the 3rd record . into the lungs of hell / Set the world a fire . Dave actually wrote set the world afire on the bus from ny to cali after getting fired from metallica . Originally he called the song megadeth instead of set the world afire . Later someone said megadeth was a cooler band name .

im glad you're going back to some metal. i remember you started long ago maybe 2017 or 2018 im glad you got bigger and have a solid channel. you deserve it

Metallica , in their first bassists garage 1982 , kept a tape ready in a tape deck to hit record on to save riffs and ideas in case they forget and at one point to hear Dave hit record and since he didn't have a guitar handy he just starts humming the riffs to this song , rust in peace .

Thank you for hitting the complete album.

Now you known why Dawn Patrol is the intro, not the outro ! Polaris destroys EVERYTHING. It's freaking shred fest, and so groovy, perfect ending of an incredible album (maybe give it a listen start to finish on your own time, you'll appreciate it even more, i think). Please, can you finish Fear Inoculum ? There's a couple song missing if i recall that are insane (Descending & Culling Voices). edit : Megadeth did a tour for the Nth anniversary of this album, playing it live back to back, so yeah... Megadeth live would blow your mind !

You ask “can they do this live”? Yes they can. Over and over again.

They play it live like the album.. incredible artists.

Polaris was the previous generation of Submarine-launched Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles used by the USA and UK. Polaris was often in the news when I was growing up with debates about whether to upgrade or replace them at vast expense, or do unilateral nuclear disarmament which was the peace cause in the UK promoted by CND, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. They were replaced with the Trident Sub-launched ICBMs, which allows multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicle (MIRV) payloads, which also required the UK to invest in a new generation of nuclear missile submarines. They depend on the US satellite network for GPS targeting, so in fact the UK's "Independent Nuclear Deterrent" has to ask for US permission to be re-targeted or used, so there's no independence about it at all.

Yeah, they've done several tours where they did this album night in, night out.

Dave is a genius for sure. From writing the music to all the lyrics he's virtually untouched in the genre. Amazing musician. Incredible lyricist.

I saw them live in 91 for this album in a small venue in New Orleans. YES!!! They bring the 🔥 in concert.. I was in the balcony with my jaw dropped and watching the floor of people moshing like a blender it was crazy cool!!

Glad you guys mostly enjoyed this. My favorite Megadeth album. Now if only you could give some love to Tool’s first album, Undertow. It’s not as prog as their later albums but it’s still great.

Should definitely do more Bolt Thrower. One of the most unique sounds ever.

appreciate you guys......love you guys🤘 I remember when you stumbled on holy wars and realized the metal community was here to take this ride with you. Metallica, tool, and Megadeth hopefully got . love the way you guys put a bow on it

Five magics, lucretia, holy wars, and hangar 18 are my favorites from this album

Megadeth's Masterpiece . Seen the 3 times , once with Dio and Savatage .

oh if you dudes are doing whole albums I'd love to see Opeth get a shot. Maybe Blackwater Park Album since since you liked the title track so much.

You hit the nail on the head, there will never be another album like this again, it was dam near perfection for this genre of Music at the time and still blows most things away to this day.

🎶Killing Floor🎶 Slash & Brian Johnson & Steven Tyler (New 2024 Song)

another great one to finish up: Metal Church - Metal Church :)

It would be interesting for you to revisit holy wars, I believe it was your first introduction to Megadeth and you really didnt know what you were getting into. As your knowledge of music has grown over the years, it would be cool to see what you think of an og song

Rage against the machine debut album, one of the greatest debut album of all time

Time to finish up "Moving Pictures" by Rush. "Red Barchetta" is next? Let's go! 🤟😜

In 2010 I saw Megadeth play this Rust in Peace live from start to finish to celebrate the 20th anniversary. So yes, they can do it live and it was amazing!

I would love for you guys to watch Megadeth live with Marty. I think it’d be cool to see your reaction as they play.

Easily my favorite Megadeth album. Very technical and good from start to finish. Other megadeth songs to consider in the future: Good morning/Black Friday, hook in mouth, ashes in your mouth, train of consequences. Thanks for this. Nice to see reactions when hearing this for the first time, even if you don’t like all of it.

The POLARIS, is an SLBM (Submarine Launch Ballistic Missile) The MINUTE MAN, is the POLARIS’ twin brother, an ICBM, land launched.

Thank you for making the Eminem comparison! It’s these connections that I would not otherwise ever think of that I appreciate the most. I get the technical mastery you are alluding to. Thank you!

15:26 Even with all the line up changes in the band, Dave and his surrounding cohorts have always played at a superior level.

Polaris was the Ballistic Nuclear Missile used by the US Navy Boomer Submarines during the Cold War. These days its the Titan missile. (Navy Vet here)

You guys doing my favorite Megadeth song? Instalike!

Rust in Peace Polaris was the song I liked least off the album when I first heard it... and then three days later it got stuck in my head hard 😅

I don't listen to these 2 often, but I'm glad they're on the album. It's a cool combo to end an epic album on.

Megadeth performs the entire Rust In Peace album live in 2010 and released it with several "Hits" at the end. Check it out and tell us what you think. Another great reaction. Peace!

Rust in peace was what Dave mustaine saw on a bumper sticker, imagining the warheads sitting somewhere covered in graffiti and rusting away forgotten... Polaris were the submarine lainched nuclear missiles of the 1980's

I was 16 when this album came out and there was nothing like it. I remember spending that winter walking around with my yellow Walkman blasting this non stop along with Metallica’s AJFA, and State of Euphoria by Anthrax. What a great time for metal music.

Dawn Patrol, coming to a venue near you soon. It's all cocked and loaded by all measure more than any time in history. An interesting fact. Dave has always said his main influences were always like old 60's soul or R and B, maybe before that term was really coined, due to an older sister ( as were mine exactly in the same way ) And that's why if you really are a multi generation consumer of music you will find a lot of funky grooves and even vocal lines. It's sped up and more hardcore, but it's definitely there. EDIT: Aww shit you ended it with Godzilla. Like one of my favorite jams of all time actually. >D That more recent era of Eminem is the best sht he ever did, and probably will never truly top it. Every artist has their very peak peak moment. Even if they ruled for decades and still rule, there is their what i call "Swan Song". Where it's like Yeah it's probably untoppable. Kamikaze specifically as n entire album, is his best sht by far. Music to get Murdered by was also good but this track is basically. Retire. It's peak and almost certainly a slow down hill from here on out.

A Megadeth song you guys should checkout “Liar”

Yes, they can do this live. You should do a video on Megadeth live in Italy 1992. The quality is surprisingly really good.

You have to do some Annihilator! MEGADETH's David Ellefson (and Nick Menza) stated that: "The Rust In Peace lineup would crank up the ALICE IN HELL cassette everyday, to and from our writing and recording sessions for (their classic) the Rust In Peace record."

I'm pretty sure you guys listened to the remastered version of Five Magics when you did your reaction vid. the demon voice at the end that goes back and forth with Dave sounds like fuckin Fat Albert in the remaster. you gotta get the original version lmao

Polaris is one of their best songs, Nick Meza was the perfect drummer for them. Lucretia is the best of all, glad you reacted to that.

Megadeth- Angry Again. Do it!!!!!!!

Lost in Vegas will love symphony of destruction

Thank you guys for finishing out another classic album. I watched testament open up for Megadeth and Slayer where they played RIP and Seasons all the way through. F***ing rocked. Do more off Seasons in the abyss by Slayer.

Megadeth - YOUTHANASIA - full album! The next "Rust In Peace" masterpiece from 1994 (imo).

Can they do this live? Yes. Consistenly?, Yes. On tour they played the entire album, front to back flawlessly.

First Megadeth album.. Looking Down the Cross. Bit raw mixing, but damn, the dynamics of this song.. You'll have a field day with the changes and progressions.. AND the um.. lightness of gain in the guitars but still heavy as hell.

I saw this tour as an 18 year old in a 1500 seat venue in OKC. They really could play this material live, even faster.

they do it live...at least since last concert....like 4 years ago

I was in the Army when this came out. When the video dropped on Headbangers Ball, the Enlisted club music shut off and the video was pumped through the feed. Infantry soldiers rejoiced and merrily drank.

Saw Megadeth live for the first time in 2017, they opened for Scorpions. I was blown away how good they are live. They sound like the albums, crazy good musicianship. Mustaine has to be one of the top frontmen in all of music. To carry on the lyrics of the song while playing such intricate, complex guitar is truly impressive.

Dave mustain has stated that these songs are perfection the way they were recorded in studio. So that's the way they are played live too. End of story.. this lineup was the most incredible group of musicians in heavy metal.

I can’t wait until yall do countdown to extinction, youthanasia, or cryptic writing albums. As a hip hop head myself i can appreciate the slower groovy stuff as well and that’s where it’s at

I totally respect how you acknowledge the technical proficiency of Megadeth's musicianship while acknowledging most of their stuff isn't up your alley. I would love to hear your take on some of their more radio friendly offerings.
