“Slow and Low” groovy album for Ryan and George is the “Youthanasia” album - Addicted to Chaos - Reckoning Day - A Tout Le Monde - Killing Road - I thought I knew it All Great album! And Daves best vocal performance

When it comes time to do 'Dawn Patrol', you may as well let it lead into 'Rust in Peace... Polaris' as it is considered a lead-in. The track 'Rust in Peace... Polaris' was written from the perspective of a nuclear warhead carrying ballistic missile called 'Polaris'

Lucretia is (in my opinion) the most underrated song on the album. Hope you guys enjoy it!

These guys doing the entire Rust In Peace album is my early Christmas gift.

Slow and Low: Addicted to Chaos and Angry Again. Promise.

When I learned guitar in middle school I had some Metallica tab books and was feeling pretty good about my ability. One Christmas I got the Rust in Peace tab book and after an hour I put it down and got out the Metallica book again. I wasn't ready yet😂

This song's main riff and its variations are practically a banjo bluegrass riff which is crazy to pull off in a distorted electric guitar

Megadeths ability to play at a high level is amplified in their live performances. To sing and riff at the same time the way Mustaine does is outrageous talent

I’ve been playing guitar for over 15 years and this song hard as hell to play

This is insane to play on guitar , Megadeth always has top tier guitarists and Marty and Dave's pinnacle album is Rust in Peace

I met Dave Mustane, founder of Megadeth. Met him at a charity event in NYC! Super nice guy, extremely respectful and humble. He interacted with the charity staff like we were very cool and very important.. and he was nothing, just a rocker. I was very impressed. He clearly had great respect for the charity work.

Not a highlight of the album but still awesome... Megadeth had a way of dragging ultra proficient hard to play thrash metal into something that competes with the punk immediacy and scrappiness. Mustaine's snarl pushes it even further into the punk sphere. I fn love Megadeth for being able to do that balancing act.

This song is s good example of why they're considered one of the Big 4 of thrash/speed metal.🤘 The groove also makes me think of Motorhead

As a guitar player, yes it is more than difficult, the riff is insane to play, i really don't know how Dave plays and sings this song live. It took me way more time to learn to play the verse riff correctly than the actual solo, which is hard on itself

Hook in Mouth is one of their most underrated songs in my opinion. Please do it.

Lucretia is THE SONG!

'Poison was the cure'... is a rager when Megadeth plays it in concert 🤘🤘🔥🔥 I recall going to Megadeth shows and when the drums kicked into gear, the room started spinning w/ the pit... It's a great track to mosh to... 😈

I think Set the World Afire is the greatest Megadeth song. Right there with Holy Wars.

I always thought of this song as Megadeth doing a Motorhead song, even though it is an original composition

Yall got to do Countdown to Extinction guys very good groove on that albums and you guys just need to listen to music doesn't have to always be a Playlist I never use Playlist I just listen js I've been with you guys since the beginning

you're not ready guys! ahahaha one of the most complicated song to play on guitars!

Lucrecia is about a ghost that haunted Dave after he put salt on his grits

I was waiting for you all to review this one. The solo break down with the descending guitar part is so fire.

Great Megadeth songs to cover would be "dread and the fugitive mind" and "trust." Both off albums you may not have done so far too

Lucretia has, IMO, the best solo in the entire album

Between Rust & Youth (90 to 95ish) - they were at the top of their game imo The line-up, the speed, the riffs, the aggression. Thrash legends

loved your first review of them, I have been hooked since. When I listen to your reviews, you point out things I missed in songs I love and then I go back and relisten.

I believe this song and 5 Magics were actually written during previous albums, which makes them even more impressive; they were the "didn't make the cut" songs. (!!!)

This guitar riff always reminds me of back in the village by Iron Maiden. Nick’s drumming also reminds me of old Clive Burr from early maiden days in this track as well.

I think you guys would really like a straight forward Megadeth song like Angry Again or even Symphony of Destruction.

The slowed down groove of Addicted to Chaos off Youthanasia (1994) would be playlist for you guys.

I think you should react to the more comercial side of Megadeth. Songs like Trust, A Tout Le Monde, Symphony of Destruction, Angry Again etc... I think you would enjoy that music more.

Would love you guys to also do Countdown to Extinction And Youthanasia LPs

The ending is where that song really shines...

Been wit ya homies for a while now, glad to see you wrap up this albums gifts to metal! I know we had our differences, but glad to see yall still here and still not aged!? Cheers! \m/

I was going to comment how Megadeth is the Eminem of Rap but you guys mentioned it WHILE I was typing it. 🤘

Yall gotta check out “The Shortest Straw”

The style of this song is quite jazzy, like the original Megadeth style ("Killing is My Business" album)

Tried to learn this song on guitar in my early teens, not only does it sound hard because of the speed it's difficult to get down properly due to insane rhythm skills that Mustaine has.. Nuances and small but important details make the all the difference

I cannot wait for you guys to get the last track... omg.

What blows my mind is that Dave is able to play that monster of a riff AND sing at the same time!

I am repeating what millions say and that is the entire album is a game changer. 🤘🤘 NOT one bad song, NOT one filler. The whole package deal here.

Even when I don't like your reviews, I do appreciate 'em 'cause they're authentic! :D And you're fun to watch.

Can't wait for you blokes to review Lucretia! Amazing song and solos!

And Justice For All really should be the next album y'all do in its entirety. Ryan will flip out on the drumming!

My favourite metal song of all time!

Love what you guys do!!! 🤘😈

You guys would love Countdown and Youthanasia. As awesome as their early stuff is, their first batch of albums are their least digestible to the average ear. Countdown has a good mix of some thrash stuff with some commercial stuff and Youthanasia is heavy, dark and has a lot of groove.

One of the best metal albums of all time! You guys need to PLEASE do all of And Justice next. Fast, slow, vocals, tone, riffs, solos... literally a masterpiece

I'd be curious of your take on some some songs from the Youthanasia album. A Tout le Monde would be a good one since it's a popular track and definitely way off from the normal thrashy Megadeth.

You guys need to react to architecture of aggression. Honestly anything off of countdown to extinction you guys will like since it’s mostly mid tempo stuff👍

awesome guys!

Please when you’re done do one bonus song and do Ashes in Your Mouth from Countdown to Extinction! It’s heavy, catchy, hooky, and shreddy. Best composed song in their catalogue in my opinion! You wouldn’t great it!

When I was a middle school kid in the 1990’s learning to play guitar and drums there were a few albums I would listen to on repeat and stand in awe at what the album represented. One such album was And Justice For All. I listened to that over and over and over on repeat, and grew a deep appreciation for the message the album conveyed. It even reinforced the spirit of independence that my parents installed in me from a young age. But the one that you would most likely find in my CD player in the mid 90’s was Rust in Peace. No other album comes close to the absolute technical masterpiece those guys created. Every sound on that album was developed and executed with such intention and precision, in my opinion. Combined with the overall theme of the album, makes this one virtually untouchable. Some bands are coming close to returning to that style of album composition, rather than focusing on “hit singles” and a bunch of filler. But so far I have yet to see anything quite like it.

This is such an iconic album now. I can remember my teenage years listening to this album and for me it’s as good now as it was then. I love this track it’s mental… Lucretia “rocks away “

The intensity of the chords and strings be struck lighter or stronger is called "dynamics" at least in the guitar world. People underestimate how those settle changes can influence the mood of the music and how you perceive it.

Megadeth.......Cure what Ails Ya!!!! ❤🤘🙏

Every song on this album is great.

I was just looking at my KZfaq subscription history when I realized that I've subscribed to this channel since 2017, and just where the f'ck have the last seven years of my life gone? It doesn't feel like 7 years. *Coincidentally, it was the reaction to Holy Wars that first brought me here, I saw it mentioned on online guitar magazine article. There's some strange serendipity in today's video being another song from that album. And you should do Lucretia.

I love the speed man. Megadeth crushes.

This absolutely was a technical all star cast of players on this album, (and Countdown to Extinction, Youthanasia and Hidden Treasures). But you seriously said it best when you said this was a lineup of all stars because it was

This song always reminded me a bit of Iron Maiden's "Back in the Village"

I'd love to hear your reaction to "Good Mourning/Black Friday" from peace sells...it's so raw and sloppy and crazy but I think it's their magnum opus...

Ive seen Megadeth live six times and they never disappoint.

If yall want a Megadeth song that is just straight forward with a simple groove with catchy hooks on the vocals , check Symphony of Destruction . Its a mid paced solid and easy to just bob your head to type of banger . Thanx guys !

Young metallers, so much energy flowing on that album. Dave snaring and spitting, as he does... Almost no metal lyrics should be taken 100% seriously, then the magic vanishes. It's more like serious + silly. \m/

The main riff in this song is SO bluesy and groovy, but it's also fast AF. If you played that half speed, it would sound like any blues riff.

You’re not tripping, those fast guitar riffs are hard as hell to play

You guys would like Angry Again the song. As far as albums, i think you would enjoy Youthanasia or Countdown to Extinction

You guys need to hear Megadeths Peace Sells for the rhythm. That's one you can groove to.

Rust in Peace is a masterpiece, Holy Wars is the best album opener of all time in any genre ever! I had this CD and we'd blast it every morning on the way to school! 🤘

Well you're in for a treat on this one... because this is one of the fastest Megadeth songs ever lol. Can't wait for you guys to do "Rust In Peace... Polaris". Insanely groovy and catchy sounding song.

Before watching this reaction, I'm guessing they're both not going to like this one. It's very straightforward thrash, which tends to not go over well. The intro will probably grab them, cause it's interesting, but then, after the drum fill, which I think they'll love, it'll go into that sound they just don't care for. Let's see.... After watching the reaction, Ryan NAILED the comparison about playing guitar and speaking. Yes, articulating at such a high level of speed is nuts. One thing that surprises me is how both Ryan and George are able to see past their personal taste, and just be impressed by what's going on. This song is probably my least liked on the album, but it's still an impressive listen. I'm anxious to see what they think of Lucretia, one of my favorites, and probably one of the most 'song'-like off the album. The one I'm really waiting for is Polaris, since that's actually got a groove. Also, if you guys read this - you really NEED to do Dawn Patrol and Polaris together, as Dawn Patrol is kind of a segue into Polaris. Cheers.

This song is fantastic and part of the best album of all times !

I covered every song on this album on guitar in the past, and this was the hardest song to get down, at least for me.

I just wish this had come out in 1988. The black album sadly slowed down metal and outshined this piece of art.

That was highly entertaining, Wow! Great job guys If you're looking for a groove, look into Wake up Dead, Symphony of Destruction (not sure if you did that one) or The Killing Road. Those would give you a good groove. Cheers

It doesn't just sound difficult... It *IS* difficult ...and thats a huge understatement!!

You guys have to do something from Countdown to Extinction or Youthanasia. Those albums are their slow and low material. Also it should be noted Dave Mustaine plays and sings these songs at the same time and that's just absolutely wild.

To me, this song always sounds like a pirate one. I can imagine like pirates shout arremba! and turn on this composition while robbing a ship ))

Thank you

They really need to review the full Youthanasia album, they'll be hooked on some of those songs for life

Best solo on the album. Very underrated song

Rust in Peace polaris has my fav Megadeth guitar riff or probably just my fav riff im general.

if you like some slow stuff, listen to Strange World by Iron Maiden. Their first two albums are my favorites.

Yeah this riff is like some classic blues rock on speed times a million, so much so it sounds like chicken picken' metal. Absolutely wild because there are string skips and I have been playing for decades and cant play this that fast clean. Than again I haven't practiced it or "Woodsheeded" the song for days on end but still. its a wild song.

This is one of the sickest riffs ever.

The crazy thing is Dave Mustaine plays this stuff while singing. You guys should do some of their early 90s live stuff, it's awesome.

You should listen to Frayed ends of sanity by Metallica. It's from And justice for all album and it's an underrated gem.

This is an amazing album.

this riff, is beyond difficult. i can play a lot of megadeth on guitar, and this song is EVIL to try and pull off as you say, at speed with zero mistakes

this song its craaazy hard to play... its one of the hardest on the album... this song, rust in peace, take no prisoners and overall the whole album for me its a testament on why dave's rhythm skills are higher than james are...

You should check out 'Looking Down the Cross' off their debut album.

5 times I have seen the fellas, Professional!

Please add Return to serenity by Testament to your list. I promise you’ll be blown away.

I suspect you guys would love most of the album Cryptic Writings, try « Almost Honest »

Want slow and low Megadeth? Check out "Angry Again." Groove central.

That solo is killer!

If anyone's into Guitar Hero games, this song is BY FAR the most fun guitar track to play. Rock Band 2 released the full Rust in Peace album as playable tracks and all of them are fun, but the nonstop note stream of this one is just crazy satisfying to pull off and not *too* hard to play compared to other crazy difficult songs in the series.

Can't wait for Lucretia!!
