Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour (Official Music Video) 

Metallica 1988 - One Megadeth 1988 - In My Darkest Hour

One of the greatest metal songs ever written and recorded, in my humble opinion. When a song can make you headbang, get pissed, and want to cry and tell your family how much you love them all at the same time....you got something special.

This song is the emblem of every loner, every drug addict, every desperate and abandoned person on this world. It is the mirror of the soul of every being on the planet

This song got me through the darkest hour

It's a young man's game. Megadeth were so young, the audience was so young. The energy was over the top. What a time.

Some crazy stage diving in this video, if this video was recorded today every fucker would be just standing there with their mobile phone filming, how i miss the old thrash days.

Vocal/Guitar - Dave Mustaine Bass - David Ellefson Guitarist - Jeff Young Drummer - Dave Mustaine

1:28 "You'll never know how hard I tried. To find Myspace and satisfy RU-vid." - Dave Mustaine

Thank you Lars and James for Megadeth

REST IN PEACE CLIFF BURTON 1962 - 1986

3:41 he made the guitar laugh

Imagine all the people who could have Dave’s hair, but they keep it short.

Only 3 millions views? I've lost the faith in humanity. Megadeth deserves so much more.

For me, this ranks as Megadeths greatest ever composition. It may not have the aggressiveness of other Megadeth songs from Rust In Peace/Peace Sells but its unrivalled imo in the way its layered and structured from its Hard Rock opening to its Thrash Metal ending after the 'I walk alone into the promised land' lyrics. Its a gem of a track in what is a really underappreciated album.

In my hour of need Ha, no, you're not there And though I reached out for you Wouldn't lend a hand Through the darkest hour Your grace did not shine on me Feels so cold, very cold No one cares for me Did you ever think I get lonely? Did you ever think that I needed love? Did you ever think, stop thinking You're the only one that I'm thinking of? You'll never know how hard I tried To find my space and satisfy you, too Things will be better (better) when I'm dead and gone Don't try to understand Knowing you, I'm probably wrong But oh, how I lived my life for you Till you'd turn away Now as I die for you My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name All there years, thought I was wrong Now I know it was you Raise your head, raise your face, your eyes Tell me who you think you are? I walk, I walk alone to the promised land There's a better place for me But it's far, far away Everlasting life for me In a perfect world But I got to die first Please God send me on my way Time has a way of taking time Loneliness is not only felt by fools Alone, I call to ease the pain Yearning to be held by you Alone, so alone, I'm lost Consumed by the pain The pain, the pain, the pain Won't you hold me again? You just laughed, ha ha, you bitch! My whole life is work built on the past The time has come when all things shall pass This good thing passed away

4:56 HOLY SHIT HE DID NOT SURVIVED THAT

Dave was just diagnosed with throat cancer, we need to keep him in our thoughts and prayers as he goes through yet another dark hour.

Seeing this videos with Ellefson makes difficult believing that he is out 😞

Mustaine's voice is one of a kind. No one will ever could sing like him

dude who jumped at 2:15 certainly is still in that place to this day

Best Megadeth song in history.

The best way of knowing if I'm in my darkest hour is if I'm listening to this song.

This has got to be a record for most stage dives in one song

My favorite Megadeth song

underrated masterpiece, his finest hour

That head banging at the end solo is just amazing

This masterpiece only 10 million views?,this need more views.

I saw Megadeth in concert for the first time in February 2016 at the Warfield in San Francisco. The reaction they get from the crowd when they play this song is just unreal. It's an amazing song in its original studio format but it's on a completely different level when they perform it live.

This part of The Metal Years was worn out on my VHS of it. Best part of the movie.

Listening this as I’m in a Very dark place in my life right now sorrounded very huge debt and no money still trying to do something for my family I hope everything will be fine soon Thank you Dave for your music You saved a soul

My all time favorite song from Megadeth

2:14 i think that guy dieded

Beautiful, a hurricane of energy, and great Jeff Young's solo on 3:52 !

I will always love Megadeth as long as I live I'm 51 and still a Metal Head my dad he is 77 and still loves Heavy Metal also me and my brother is listening to are dad lives with us and are Wife's he loves them like they are his kids we agree with that he also is a Vietnam veteran God bless him he still alive he had the coronavirus and he got overhe wanted us to put him in a hotel and we did and we checked on him a lot of times and he got over it hallelujah praise God he's been over the coronavirus for 2 weeks he lost his taste buds the first week he got them back the second week

Important fact: The melody was for Cliff and the lyrics for Dave’s ex girlfriend :)

The breakdown is just wild. This is probably one of the best songs on one of the best albums. Definitely my favorite metal band.

*-Who Listening MEGADETH In 2024.?*

always loved the "wouldn't lend a hand" moment

Such a deep song. RIP Cliff wish music today had this much style

Watching this feels like a window to my high school years, the hair, clothes, the attitude.

Man i just gotta say no one sounded as good as megadeth did back then. There so young here and full of so much energy. In my opinion the best metal band ever. No one can write metal songs and music like Dave mustaine pure genius. Long live MEGADETH.

Rock/Metal kept me going through my darkest hours. It’s been a long long road but finally there is hope. God bless guys, a million thanks

1:23 Marty Friedman in the crowd looking at the camera. Hahah

One of the best songs ever written.

I got hit by a car while listen to this song, I got hit by the car at around 3:35 so I didn’t get to hear Dave say “bitch”

Anyone else notice that nobody caught the guy stage diving at 2:14? That must've fucking hurt haha!

Dude that jacket, that solo, Dave Ellefson's shirt, Batman, all those people firing themselves onto the floor... Best Megadeth video ever!

“I’m in this business for the reason Megadeth’s in this business: Attitude, Integrity, and MUSIC.” ENOUGH SAID.

Song saved my life when I was in my darkest hour

So thrash, so good...so Megadeth!

Cliff Burton was one of Dave's best friends even after Dave got kicked out of Metallica.

This is the true Megadeth, amazing song in the 80s!

Greatest music ever made....pure talent on all instrument plus vocals

This is how I discovered Megadeth. The documentary was called "Decline of Western Civilization Part 2" In my darkest hour, was featured on the soundtrack and movie. It had people like Ozzy, W.A.S.P. etc. and it was this song, that got me interested in Megadeth.

Guys, it's really not rocket science. The MUSIC (the riffs, solos, etc) were written because of Cliff's death. The LYRICS are about Mustaine's at the time girlfriend

One of my fav songs of all time of Megadeth !

My favorite Megadeth song.

R.I.P cliff burton

people here are forgetting the fact that Dave wrote this song for Cliff when he died

2:55 - WOOOHHHH!!!!! 🤘🤘 FULL BLAST!!!!!!!

Can’t stop watching this video. Man I wish I lived during this period, the crowd is INSANE!

that riff still gives me goosebumps, especially at 1:21 with Dave pouring his heart out

La mejor banda de la historia.

That's Some jacket Dave is rocking

Great song! R.I.P. Cliff Burton, gone but not forgotten

I'm listening this song in my darkest hours of life.

Quite simply my favorite song from Dave.

Celebrando 33 años de este hermoso álbum my favorite song... IN MY DARKEST HOUR 😁💝💀

Man, im sure in this video many people died.

If you ever wanted a lesson in stage diving watch this video 4:42 the security have just giving up lol

4:19 Forever a legend.

1992, entered the talent contest in our high school. They wouldn't accept any song we proposed playing. Finally settled on a Beach Boy's song for our our submission. Played this. It was fucking glorious.

I like how Mustaine says "wouldn't lend a hand."

some of Dave's best vocal work. He was better when he was high.

1984 - Metallica - Fade to Black. 1988 - Megadeth - In my darkest hour.

I grew up with Dave M. And I'm now 50 and I'm still loyal and dedicated to Megadeth and they still are One of the best heaviest bands Ever. Thanks Dave.

This is my favorite song by them. Its heavy and melodic at the right places.

Dave Mustaine wrote this song to cliff burton when he passed away. Megadeth and Metallica are two great bands Just stop fighting a war between them🤫🤫

Tomorrow it's been 35 years since Cliff Burton death. Rest in power.

I am 45 and my husband is growing his hair!! I think I will be 85 an still remember how much I love my long hair Rockers!!! Rock on!!!! Love this song!!!!

In my hour of need Ha! No, you're not there... And though I reached out for you Wouldn't lend a hand.

The best song of Megadeth!

This and To Live Is To Die are the best Cliff tributes. RIP Cliff

my favorite Megadeth track and my favorite Megadeth music video. I love watching everyone push and shove and dive going absolutely mental!

lyrics - In my hour of need Ha you're not there And though I reached out for you Wouldn't lend a hand Through the darkest hour Grace did not shine on me It feels so cold, very cold No one cares for me Did you ever think I get lonely Did you ever think that I needed love Did you ever think to stop thinking You're the only one that I'm thinking of You'll never know how hard I tried To find my space and satisfy you too Things will be better when I'm dead and gone Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong But oh how I lived my life for you Still you'd turn away Now as I die for you My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name All these years I thought I was wrong Now I know it was you Raise your head raise your face your eyes Tell me who you think you are, who ? I walk, I walk alone Into the promised land There's a better place for me But it's far, far away Everlasting life for me In a perfect world But I gotta die first Please God send me on my way Time has a way of taking time Loneliness is not only felt by fools Alone I call to ease the pain Yearning to be held by you, alone, so alone, I'm lost Consumed by the pain The pain, the pain, the pain Won't you hold me again You just laughed, ha, ha, bitch My whole life is work built on the past But the time has come when all things shall pass This good thing passed away In my darkest hour

...In my hour of *WEED*... ----- 1988 Dave Mustaine.

man I still remember the first time my older sister showed me this song she handed me my very first drink I still remember it was jack Daniel’s and some vodka and man we just listened to a bunch of metal that night and this was the same year this song same out she said hey there’s this new song out called in my darkest hour you’ve gotta listen to this and I was like fuck yeah I was 18 years old what a time

The fact this sounds so much like a Metallica song is proof of Dave’s impact on Metallica when he was a member. Dave is truly a great musician.

It's very hard to find concert like this nowadays. Where everybody is crowd surfing

For Cliff R.I.P

Old school Megadeth

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG

drummer looked like a future Dave Mustaine

Mid 40's and went to Megadeth here in Dublin few years back. Thought the crowd would be all 30 and 40 somethings reliving our youth but no, good 60% of the crowd were teenagers and 20 somethings. Can't think of genre other than metal where old bands still attract a young audience, but anyway, time has taken it's toll on me, my days of stage diving and moshing I left back in the late 80's and early 90's, so I was just chillin on the precipice of the crowd, enjoying the young crowd go nuts to In My Darkest Hour's gear change mid song, wishing I was young again so I could join them when a bunch of young scamps shoved a bunch of us 40 somethings right into the thick of things... and there was there was no escape. It was either join with the mosh pit shenanigans or dislocate a hip... so for one last time I joined in and for 90 seconds or so I almost felt young again.

One of my favorite megadeth song! Always surprised how well written the lyrics are when I read them

“So far so good so what” is the best, most cohesive Megadeth album

ATTITUDE, INTEGRITY, AND MUSIC!! MEGADETH RULES!🤘

One of my favorite Megadeth songs, RIP Cliff burton we love you,miss you brother,gone but never forgotten😢🎸😎😍🤘🤘🤘

Здоровья и долгих лет Дэйву!
