Dave Mustaine, the singer and rhythm guitar player, was too crazy for Metallica and was kicked out of the band as they traveled across the country to record their first album in New York. He was a hell of a songwriter and guitar player, and his ability to play and sing these songs at the same time has always impressed me. And that solo that melted your face at 8:36, that was also Dave. He was a ferocious lead player, which was his role in Metallica. But the bulk of Megadeth's solos are by Marty Friedman on this album, and a variety of other guys over the years.

The reaction after that last solo of Dave's was the proper reaction. 🤘 You're truly doing the Lord's work, Dad.

Very cool your dad is introducing you to the hard stuff. You can’t go better than Megadeth!

One of the best songs to kill a young man's dreams in one stroke. Or make him a metalhead, of course.

Dad’s killin the lead vocals!

Dad has excellent taste in music!

This song is a masterpiece, but watching the official video does it more justice.

Hangar 18 off this album. Probably previously mentioned. Considered one of the best metal albums ever. The concert was great too.

If you're digging the Guitars then Megadeth is right up your ally. The Conjuring, Five Magics, Wake up Dead, Tornado of Souls < one of the greatest solos in Thrash, Lucretia < underrated song with an amazing solo. Combo songs must hear together ... Into the Lungs of Hell (instrumental) -with -Set the World Afire and then ... Dialectic Chaos (instrumental)- with- This Day We Fight!

Idk if you’ve reacted to their live performance in Hammersmith in ‘92, but it’s widely known as their greatest recorded live performance, ever. Highly suggest you react to it. Dave is demented, Nick couldn’t be more on point. You won’t be disappointed.

Great dad raising him right

Your Dad is so right!!! This IS the greatest metal song EVER WRITTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave played the first and last solos in this song. If you listen to the album enough, even a drummer can figure it out. It may, or may not, be the best thrash song ever written. But it's definitely the best ALBUM. Ironically, this was called speed metal back in the day.

That crazy ass solo at the end was Dave.

You hooked me with this one. Bring on some Pantera reactions, some Anthrax with John Bush, as well as more Megadeth!

Megadeth RULES! \m/

This is great! Great video

Dave Mustaine said in an interview that he was inspired to write the song in Northern Ireland, when he discovered bootlegged Megadeth T-shirts were on sale and was dissuaded from taking action to have them removed on the basis that they were part of fundraising activities for "The Cause" (i.e. the Provisional Irish Republican Army).He Proceeded to go up on stage and shout this is for the cause and a riot started in the crowd. Megadeth were then escorted out of Northern Ireland by police to the safety of the Republic of Ireland

Sorry, I just heard you say Pink Floyd is coming, while waiting , you should do Comfortably Numb Pulse concert, it's unbelievable to watch and listen and has what is considered the best guitar solo ever by many. They even sound better live, the guitar solo on album is about 1half minutes and in concert its 4minutes Thanks

2:01 i 2nd that

Daddy knows best 😜

Check out Washington's Next by Megadeth, Painkiller by Judas Priest, Master of Puppets or Damage Inc. by Metallica. There a lot of great metal out there! 🤘

I woke up today and looked to see what you did as I do everyday and am shocked you didn't do Pink floyd Pulse Concert anything, people have requesting like crazy

Great reaction great to spend time with your dad . Need to check out Prog Band Tool 🔧 they are top of there game 🎮 .

Dave is and was the 1 who played the last solo .everyone who plays they have their own sound some clean,screeching,some Crack on or at the end it's amazing how much Dave knows he don't like .mistakes.

I almost had a freakout when I heard your dad say that this was the best metal song ever written. But then I realized something: Hey, that's his opinion. I can't get mad at that, and then expect people to respectfully listen to my own opinion. So, I applaud that viewpoint while also having one of my own. I find it difficult to exalt any form of art from artists whom I don't respect. Dave Mustaine has always given me a bad vibe, and I can't really place why. I try to make my own opinions of people, rather than simply go along with the popular opinion of them. That being said I still can't really "get into" Megadeth. The first metal band I ever listened to of my own accord was Iron Maiden, and their discography, front to back, for me, is top-notch. I've heard some reactors say that they can't get into Maiden because of Bruce Dickinson's voice, and while I disagree, I say, hey, that's what the world's all about, having a difference of opinion. If you're looking for more metal, Silas, I'd suggest the Iron Maiden song "Run to the Hills." I believe you can't go wrong with anything in their catalogue, but I recognize that some of the lesser-known stuff may not be for everyone. Hope you and your family are well, Silas. Looking forward to the next one!

we need a Tornado of Souls reaction. That song will blow your mind!!

SILAS, watch the original video for Megadeth’s huge 1986 hit “Peace Sells But Who’s Buying”, that will blow you away.

Not a big metal fan. Except for judas priest. But love your reactions. I'll keep watching. Stay true

I wish our paperboy was as cool as Jacob was, lol! 🤘🏻

Guys you need to do 'she wolf' live, you'll see exactly how good mustaine is as lead... one of the greatest solos ever ! No bs..

Hangar 18 and tornado of souls off that album are sick AF 🤘🔥🎶

This álbum the Best

I like the dad's style, but there is Pantera, as well...

Megadoogiewoogiepoogy!

This isn't for, me, I'll be back for the Floyd.

You should try out their song Ashes in Your mouth

If your father doesn't like Megadeth , wish him happy mother's day.

This is always a good starter for listening to megadeth, check out hangar 18 or tornadoe of souls from this same album they're also great

Makes more sense how much you love it since you were 15 ...it's emblazoned on your brain!

Muito bom very good

I thought you might not yet be ready for something like *Cardiacs* , but if you're sometimes up for a bit of Megadeth like this, maybe this is not a premature suggestion from me (even though you still have so many amazing recognized classics to get to know.) They're an obscure-ish band (not completely). Probably not good material to build up view counts on a reaction channel with, but in your own time you (and probably your dad, too) might just enjoy the music of the late great Tim Smith. (The Royal Conservatoire in Edinburgh like his music,for instance. They awarded him an honorary doctorate in music for his work in the last years of his life. They don't just give those things away. He was completely self-taught. Learnt how to read and write music by comparing the score of Quadrophenia to the record over and over again, for instance.) It's unpretentious music, but has some levels of depth beneath the surface. I just don't want to build up your expectations (although obviously I don't want to bring them down too low, either). Let's say there's more to this than meets the eye. It's difficult to suggest a "typical" song, because although he has his own unmistakable "sound signature", his music varies over a huge range. Tim said it was "just pop" - which is true, but only if you allow pop to be more than just something disposable to plaster a sonic background scene with. I"ll just give you a starting link to something that makes me silly and happy. *It's a Lovely Day* . It's a ridiculous song. "Circus music", I call it. But it's really good circus music. It's not just crazy and wild and absurd, just for absurdity's sake. (I just hope it's not exactly the right choice to put you off. Some of his songs take some adjusting to. This is its own genre of music. You start out sort of knowing how to listen to it, but not entirely. If the first impression is not your thing, I'd recommend looking for other songs of theirs till you find the one you like. Later on you'll come around to the others. I did, anyway, and this is what I hear from a lot of people.) It's the live version. (I like it best of all of them.) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nct3l7qYtZPLmWQ.html (Great thing about listening to it is afterwards you're allowed to join the Illuminati if you want. You'd be surprised at the Tim Smith fan base who's who. There are some who have heard it foretold that the first thing Jesus will do when he returns is get himself a vinyl copy of _Sing to God_ -- but that's another story for another day. Might just be a rumour, too.)

you are that dave is one of the best ever, but you are wrong about who played that part towards the nd I am pretty sure Dave played it. Watch the official video to see him play it.

Hi Silas. Love your PF music reactions, but if you want to see your subs go through the roof, try something completely different, like PTX. They have a massive following and have billions of KZfaq views. You mentioned in your PF DSM reaction about voice ranges and quality, and PENTATONIX will blow your mind. But don't expect heavy metal. They do a range of music genres and covers, as well as originals. I would suggest you start with Bohemian Rhapsody. I won't give away the surprise, but react with Olivia and watch your subs skyrocket. If you do a PTX vid be sure to stop regularly, discuss, back up a bit and repeat. Sony are very protective and will hit you with a copyright infringement if you don't. And I'll sub if you do. 😊Nah, I'll sub anyway. (In hope)

You’ve been fine dining your ears with steak and champagne (Pink Floyd and Zeppelin) Now your chomping cheap burgers!

Dave did the solo you guys lost it on.

Megadeth is fine but lets get some Metallica on this channel. The greatest thrash band of all time

You said you want to react to the worst metal song ever? RAIL - 1234 ROCK AND ROLL

Have never been a fan of heavy metal. I'm sure there are good HM songs out there, but I wouldn't know because I have never listened to HM. The minute or so of this song that I listened to was the same old thing -- loud and repetitive. Probably would be cool at a concert. Letting yourself go -- doing the headbanging thing. But it's like listening to rap music -- same beat over and over with anti-social lyrics. And again -- I have heard good rap songs, but the ones that are good are less rap-y than other rap songs -- that's why they are good. Less rap , less crap . I am not ridiculing HM or rap fans -- just the music. It is usually cheap music. Most mainstream music listeners feel this way. I am sure you HM fans are aware of this.
