Megadeth In My Darkest Hour Reaction!!! 

I love Dave’s voice...can’t imagine someone else signing for Megadeth.

As far as early thrash goes, I think that Mustaine is the most important guitarist of all. He’s technically amazing, and he directly influenced the guys in Metallica and Slayer.

I cannot imagine anyone singing Megadeth besides Mustaine. I love his voice.

I actually like Dave's voice.

Dave's unique vocals is one of the reasons I love Megadeth. The Outro of good Mourning/Black Friday where he says "It's black Friday, paint the devil on the wall!" on repeat was one of my greatest moments in listening to metal

Megadeth - A Tout le Monde.

This song is dedecated to Cliff Burton... Show him the respect... R.I.P. CLIFF

"We lost something"? No!... Metallica lost something, the rest of the world won Megadeth!

Megadeth- Into The Lungs of Hell (Instrumental)

mustaine getting booted out of metallica was the best thing to ever happen to music!!!

Dave’s voice is perfect. It’s what separates Megadeth from all the others. No band sounds like them they are unique and amazing!

Singing skill isin't everything in metal...it's feel, aggression, attitude. I don't care if a vocalist is classically good or not as long as it sounds good

Mustaine has more political, religious lyrics than Het. Also, his voice is better in the 90s when he really found his niche in relation to his voice. Songs like, Sweating Bullets, Symphony of Destruction, A Tout Le Monde, Trust....

Highly underrated album. You really need to check out Liar & Hook In Mouth.

This has been my go to song for 30 years whenever I have felt depressed. From my heinous childhood, the military, to losing my wife. Megadeth forever 🤘🤘🤘

0:46 Yes, we do, Dave Mustaine is a legend & I couldn't imagine anyone else signing for Megadeth.

if you want a megadeth instrumental, you should do conquer or die from their latest album! poisonous shadows is another great one from the new album:)

This song was written right after Dave found out of the death of cliff burton....btw nonpoint the truth please bruah help me out

This song always makes me tear up man. Especially the live version in buenos aires. That's an example of megadeth killing it live for sure

Dave has a good mind. Srsly. He's not uninformed nor unopinionated. This song is sad. Poor Dave.

Megadeth - The Conjuring

Yes one of my favorite Megadeth songs!

He wrote this when Cliff died, it's about Dave's girlfriend, but when hearing of Cliff Burton's death, wrote this. After Megadeth's second album, "Peace Sells" that was the first of theirs on a major label, they would release this album, "So far... so good... so what?" The 8 song LP would start with a great instrumental, yet the album was nowhere near as great as "Peace Sells" which i think is the "ideological metal album. Mustaine was going through a rough time, as he was an equestrian enthusiast, but I feel that in the 80s, in a time with great heavy metal ballads - one's such as Metallica's, "Fade to Black" or Overkills', "The Years of Decay" ect ect - I think the best "Heavy Metal" ballad there is, by far, "In My Darkest Hour." Director Penelope Spheeris (spelling?) would make a documentary, "The Western Decline of Civilization 2 - The Metal Years" (Many make it as a point of reference for the death of Glam Rock hair bands) The film would make everyone look horrible except for Megadeth, IMO - who were in the last segment. A young Mustaine seems composed, witty, and sharp as Ellefson speaks on how they are anti- drugs (they both went to rehab soon after, or is this after Ellefson got out? Is Mustaine really sober? lol) Spheeris was so taken with the song she documented the recording of - "In My Darkest Hour." Mustaine exhales smoke before singing, "In my hour of need..." At that time with Glam on the outs, and heavier stuff being more popular this particular time these lyrics were very intimate and rare for metal. Most were trying to sound as tough as they can, have as many morbid outlooks as they can, as Megadeth does , yet on this track i like a lot of it. Some of the lines are easy, yet when you have quotables like, "All these years I thought I was wrong, Now I know it was you", and, "Time has a way of taking time," along with, "My whole life is work built on the past" by a band called "Megadeth" you can't go wrong. If you like lyrics, check out the song, "Static" by the band, "Barkmarket" ---- also, something by Dillinger Escape Plan yet it can only be from the album, "Calculating Infinity" - Peace

"Let's just assume these vocals are going to suck." (listens to song) "Oh..."

Addicted to chaos by megadeth has solid riffs and Dave sounds more like he does in this song. It seems to me Dave changes his voice to fit the vibe and darkness of a certain song. Part of his genius I guess.

Megadeth - Into The Lungs Of Hell ( instrumental)

I've heard these songs hundreds of times and love them but watching you guys react and talk about them give me a whole new perspective and appreciation for them. Love you guys!

11:28 yes they did. “Into the Lungs of Hell” from the same album as this song.

Next Megadeth song - Good Mourning/Black Friday

Megadeth - Ashes your Mouth

MY FAVORITE RU-vid COUPLE!!!!!!!....much love for the props too..lol..you both kick ass.

5:51 that descending scale with that tone gives you the feeling of falling down a deep dark hole. Dave has always made his music reflect the lyrics.

Wrong time not to do the vocals though xD. One of the best Megadeth songs with good vocals and brilliant lyrics. Also, I'm a hard Megadeth fan and I just love his vocals. Most fans to do because of how well his voice fits the music.

I love the first 5 Metallica albums, but Megadeth is just better.

I liked your video because of all you two shared and discussed after the song review.. very honest and cool.. good to see real people real feelings expressed and respected.. :)

So glad you guys did this song! The album is one of my faves from Megadeth

This song was..is and will be perfect forever

Ghost - Body and blood

Bad voice!!! you smoking something dude..his voice is made for metal music SMH

This is thrash metal mate, not opera! Dave's voice fits perfectly with Megadeth's songs, so unique and expressive...

Video clip much better, and this song devoted to the dead bassist Cliff Burton from Metallica

I'm sure this song is a reference to many of his experiences.... he is quoted as talking about Cliff Burton while writing this. He was estranged for a time from his family over differences.... he struggled in many relationships... I'm sure it all was loaded into these lyrics.... It is worth noting that Dave focused equal energy into fixing his own outlook as he did writing about it.... He has been married to Pam for like almost 30 years... he has great, successful kids... he's a good man.... He's still a complete rebel but also the exact famous person who anyone would want as a neighbor.... which is manifestation of the Golden Rule... so, I love the guy. I'm a Dave Mustaine fan.

So Far. So Good, So What? is such an underrated gem of an album. I have been listening to it in my car for the last week or so.

good call on the writing riffs dude hell yeah !!!

If this is your favorite of the Megadeth you've reviewed so far, then I really think you two would like Angry Again. I hope you'll do that one. Great show

Dave makes angry lyrics, and we love how he spits out the words!

And yes, they do have instrumentals... and they are pretty cool. Check out "Into the Lungs of Hell" (which goes into "Set the World Afire") which is from this album. Also, "Dialectic Chaos" from Endgame.

Right in the feels maan 🔥💯

Kyuss - Demon Cleaner (or the Tool cover LIVE with the Kyuss bass player)

Steven Wilson - The Watchmaker

Hello Vin and Sori, you guys are So great to listen to. It's true you don't know all the facts about some of the groups and songs,but hey everyone is untitled to their own opinion. You two are So great to listen to. Keep it up, I'm a big fan of your show.

Hi guys...just found yourchannel and I liked your reaction. Bro, I can tell by your face reading the lyrics that they touched you in a personal way...Guessing you had an issue with abandonment in your distant past? I have myself as well and listening to this song always functioned as a release valve during my youth. Loved it...keep it up!!

answer to this question at 11:29: Yes, they have done instrumentals. 1. Into the Lungs Of Hell 2. Shadow of Death

Definitely one of my favorite songs by Megadeth. I kind of don't get the hate for Mustaines vocals...this is metal...no one is looking for clean perfectly sung vocals. I think his vocals are very appropriate to the style of music.

Nice vid guys! Probably the best reaction channel on YT due to no song stops (thank you for that)! But plllleeeeeeeaaaasssseeee you need to do more Devin Townsend (Deadhead live, for starters). Cheers all the way from Bulgaria!

Huge Suicidal Tendencies vibe going on this song. Good work on the channel!

One of the best Megadeth tracks there is!

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno or A Question of Heaven

I really enjoyed your reaction to this song. Please do more Megadeth \m/

You got that shit Sori , can even pinpoint the moment . Nice one 👍

Suicidal Tendencies "You can't bring me down"

Don’t be mad at me but Dave’s a better singer than Jonathan Davis😃

Good reaction/review! I saw that you did a few Megadeth songs and I'm gonna check'em out next. But there's one VERY OBVIOUS pick you haven't done yet! THAT MUST BE DONE!! : DDD Megadeth - Set the world afire!! YES BABY!! my all time favorite of theirs! And also 2-3 songs from their first (quite forgotten) album, Killing is my bussiness and bussiness is good!!

Glad to find some Megadeth reviews...was kinda curious. Lol

That's like complaining about Lemmy's vocals on MotorHead songs. The beauty of music is that it could have ingredients of limitless styles. Not all singers in bands have to be operatic. Dave's vocals will never be listed as top ten in metal music yes. But they aren't bad. They fit the aggressive music he plays. Now if you don't like them day let's go into this knowing we won't like the vocals. But to start with let's go into this accepting they are bad is premature bias. I personally can't stand any vocals on any Metallica song after and justice for all. But I listen to every song the first time hoping the vocals are better. They haven't been yet. But I start with let's see.

More Opeth please! The Leper Affinity or Ghost of Perdition (live).

This the best song put out by them. I remember listening to this and commiserating over lost love. This song is perfection.

Dave's voice is something amazing, i am in love with his voice

Megadeth - Train Of Consequences Megadeth - Trust Megadeth - Diadems Megadeth - Lucretia

Ok first of all, thanks for giving Dave credit where credit is due! But you said you lost something when Dave was kicked out of Metallica! Please we as fans got Megadeth due to that! And it's wasn't cuz of the dog that he got the boot, it was his drinking and his anger and I'm unpredictable Behavior.

Bravo...this is a MASTERPIECE!!! The pain in it...the freaking pain!!!

I totally understand where you're coming from Vin! I also enjoy being alone. Some people might think that i'm depressed or anti social, which is totally not the case. However, I do try to surround myself with friends or family once in a while, because I don't think it's totally healthy to be alone ALL the time. School also forces me to meet new people and be social, which isn't a bad thing. It's a balance for me. Cheers!

His voice ruled for years until just a couple of years back. Singing metal is not the same as singing any other genre. I love his voice from the first album til' like 2010.

MEGADETH KILLING IS MY BUSINESS .. AND BUSINESS IS GOOD LOOKING DOWN THE CROSS ( song)

That is such a heartbreaking song..... yup feels like that too sometimes.... but some cannot get over it, so heartbreaking.

Very interesting chat you two had after this reaction/review. I am glad you chose this Megadeth classic to listen to; I recommended it to you in the "Hangar 18" comments, so I am happy you gave this a spin. "In My Darkest Hour" is definitely one of the Top 10 songs Megadeth has ever done. A little bit of history: the music was inspired by the sorrow Dave Mustaine was feeling when he learned that his former bandmate in Metallica, Cliff Burton, had died. According to Mustaine (who was in the grips of drug addiction back then in 1986), when he heard the news of Cliff's death, he and his then-Megadeth bandmate Chris Poland drove downtown, bought a lot of heroin, and proceeded to get completely loaded. While under the influence of heroin and in tears over Cliff, Dave picked up a guitar and began playing. The result is the music for "In My Darkest Hour". The lyrics of "In My Darkest Hour" were not about Cliff, but rather were about the toxic relationship Dave had with is then-fiancee Diana Aragon. That relationship was extremely troubled, but as Dave once said, he got some amazing songs from it: "Last Rites/Loved To Death", "Wake Up Dead", "In My Darkest Hour", "Tornado Of Souls", and "This Was My Life". Keep up the reviews!

Also, 98 percent of metalheads are not satanic and are easygoing. Don't worry we appreciate you guys xD

Megadeth A Tout Le Monde and Sweating bullets .. lyrically brilliant songs! Please review them

I always love seeing Sori style

This might be my favorite song by them. Either this one, Holy Wars, Hook in Mouth, or High Speed Dirt.

To call Sori "fat" seems strange to me. I think, and I am sure Vin agrees, Sori is an adorable woman!

Keep laughing at the haters. You guys are doing great. Easily one of my new favorite channels.

Dave's voice is enigmatic and unique. No one else would ever sound right in Megadeth.

LOL that was a funny intro! 😂

I love Dave and his voice always have ,I don't feel anger towards either of you just cause you don't, at least your willing to give the music a chance that's the important part.

Opeth - To bid you farewell

This song has gotten me through a lot of hard times

One of my favorite albums aw man on a personal level. Into The Lungs Of Hell (there’s an instrumental) into Mary Jane is a treat everytime ❤️ Side note: Conquer Or Die is another instrumental from Dystopia 2016, must!

When u did that honest review for Mayham,it must of been that particular person's darkest hour lol...PLEEEEEEEEEEASE do some Yngwie Malmsteen... preferably "Brothers" or "Arpeggios from Hell"

Lyrical I think it's a question of preference. James writes in a strange way. He comes up with the melodies and riffs then writes the lyrics around them so sometimes his lyrics are a bit out there in later years. Obviously there is an influence on his lyrics but it's not always clear what. Dave has a completely different approach and writes from experience, belief and views on life and politics then the riffs come later. I love both bands but lyrically I'm with Dave every time. Megadeth vs Metallica has and always will be a thing. Even though they're all in their mid 50's now. Rivalry always makes great music though. Great reaction as always dudes. \m/_

I love your sense of humor guys. I love it, and i like Dave's voice but not qhen i first got into Megadeth. It took a while to get used to it.

Great song. Love this jam. Oldie but goodie. And a cool video. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

yasss! and btw , Dave Mustaine Wrote this song for Cliff , when he died in the accident

If you would like to react to a song from Metallica when Dave was in , "Jump in The Fire" would be the perfect choice

You guys hit the proverbial nail right on the head with your opening remarks. Everyone knows Dave does not have a good voice which is particularly noticeable live but on record, it fits the music perfectly especially on Megadeth's first 5 albums. If you liked the more mid-paced feel of this song then check out the whole Countdown to Extinction record, especially Captive Honour, Foreclosure of a Dream, Ashes in your mouth and Sweating Bullets.

Much Love for making light of the narrow minded comments and yes they have done instrumentals Love you guys, God bless

I really appreciate your honesty and self reflection. Vin and Sori keeping it real in an era of fakes and facades.

Riverside - Second life syndrome

IT'S ONE OF THE LOVEST SONGS!

It's one of my favorites of many Megadeth tunes!
