Megadeth - The Conjuring (REACTION!!!) (THRASH WEEK!!) 

Lost in vegas starter pack: 'Yeah that's hot' 'That transition was fire' 'Who is the drummer!?' Love you guys haha

Y’all geeking off on this song makes me so happy

People can say whatever they want about Dave Mustaine, his voice, his attitude, etc, but there is NO denying his talent as a songwriter and guitarist is in the top tier level of the metal world. Fuel that with Chris Poland, Ellefson, Marty, Gar, Nick, Kiko, etc over the years... love this band, seen them 4 times live and look forward to my 5th. Get well, Dave, we need you to continue to melt our metal souls!

This song scared the crap out of me in 5th grade when my friend lent me the cassette. I literally played Stryper afterward just to appease jesus.

MAD props for picking up on the Jazz overtones in this song. Chris Poland & Gar Samuelson, the Lead guitarist & drummer of this lineup, were both Jazz musicians who'd played in a Jazz-Fusion band called The New Yorkers. Mustaine recruited them for their virtuoso playing, which, combined with the Thrash, was something no one had ever heard before.

I was screaming ELLEFSON everytime they asked who on bass hahaha

These guys are amazing with their perception of Megadeth music. They actually listen not just hear. I love their reactions. LONG LIVE MEGADETH AND LOST IN VEGAS

11:35 I've heard this song a thousand times, and I still have the same reaction to that part

Megadeth - Good Mourning/Black Friday

Please do Wake Up Dead!!!

I like the fact that they knew the song was so good that they had to repeat the intro 3 times lol

It’s funny that George said that they have a jazzy element in the beginning because the drummer (Gar Samuelson) and the other guitarist (Chris Poland) were jazz fusion players that really brought those groovy dynamics in the early days of Megadeth.

Alright, Wake Up Dead from the same album. Should have a similar reaction as this one.

“That was Nasty” should be on a T-shirt. Lol

OMG, I actually never had a full appreciation of this song until now. You just schooled a Megadeth fan, love it!

Devil's Island!!! Every song on this album is ridiculous in their perfection. One of my all-time favorites!!!

I hope Dave sees this reaction. I think it would put a much deserved smile on his face.

Jesus, the fact that y’all picked up on the jazz is great. This Era of megadeth had a jazz fusion drummer and guitarist.

The abrupt transitions in Megadeth’s music fit perfectly once you know the song. They catch you off guard at first, then when they become familiar, they make perfect sense.

this is one of megadeth's finest moments imo....amazingly, as they were all junkies at the time...rip gar samuelson...incredible drums here...this whole album was just incredible and influencial...

In my darkest hour, is one of their best.

Megadeth has always been respected for the musicianship from the beginning to even now.

I was 15 when Peace Sells came out. Nothing compares to the heady days of the mid to late 80s for metal and the excitement us fans had.

Chris Poland, lead on this album...Dave said himself that Chris could play circles around him. I know all the talent Megadeth has had over the many years with Marty and Nick and all but my favorite lineup has always been Dave, Junior, Gar and Chris.

Dave Ellefson is on the Bass! The absolute coolest musician I've ever had the pleasure of meeting!

Waited for THAT riff to hit, and their reaction didn't disappoint! 11:36

After 30 plus years of listening to these bands, it is so wonderful to listen to this music through fresh ears. Your approach is so open and honest. I can't wipe the smile from my face watching you both. NASTY!

Seeing your reaction reminds me how much I take these songs for granted. I heard this for the first time 25+ years ago. Familiarity breeds contempt. Or at least lack of appreciation . Thanks.

I have heard this song tons of times, but nothing compares to the ability to hear it again for the first time through you guys ears. Makes the song brand new for me. And that is a gift I thank you both for. Thank you sincerely. Keep on rocking guys.

David “Junior” Ellefson played bass on this album, he co-founded Megadeth with Dave Mustaine and plays bass on 13 of their albums, dudes a beast on bass

I really appreciate Lost in Vegas. This song has been near and dear to me since i was around 8. But after hearing them really break it down, I began to really hear it a little different and break it down in my own ears. I like that. I don't find that too often. LIV is down to earth and they have my respect for sure. Very entertaining channel guys! Thank you.

This album has some of the greatest riffs ever. How fun would it be to hang with these guys and listen to Megadeth all day?

just spent half an hour watching 2 guys listen to a 5 min song...i love this channel. you can never go wrong with Megadeth

"Dude over there shooting off fireworks!" That has got to be the best, most accurate of those type of Guitar Solos! lmao!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I wish I could hear these songs again for the first time like you two are doing. The best part of watching your videos is seeing you two discover the greatest metal music ever created (as we watch), it brings back great memories. I've even gotten the hair standing on the back of my neck excitement, seeing you guys "get" the music, I love it. Welcome to the brotherhood of metalheads. Please do Peace Sells, or at least listen to it at the gym, you'll lose it!

I keep coming back to this reaction. It is, in all honesty, the greatest reaction to any metal song ever. I usually hate it when people "pause" during reaction, but every single time you pause I'm like "no no, we need to talk about this again, GO!" Just infectious delight.

Damn this Thrash week is everything I hoped it would be, so enjoyable to watch. Great song choices aswell. By the way it’s funny that you mention that jazz aspect in the beginning: the drummer and guitarist on this record were in a jazz-fusion band before joining Megadeth. Peace.

Wake Up Dead and this song are my all-time favorites from Megadeth.

I didn't expect this one to grab you like it did, but I am glad it did! This is great live song because they slow down the groove parts and speed up the thrash parts, so the transitions are even more accentuated. I am rediscovering all of these songs because of you two! I love it! All the best Rich in Sweden.

I heard this first in 88, it sounds better every time I hear it, the drummer is an animal, guitars scream and vocals are out on their own

It's been a long time since I've heard this song, I'd almost forgotten how aggressively uncompromising early thrash metal was. It's glorious. They weren't interested in making it more palatable for more people, they played what they wanted and bowed to no market pressures.

Gotta react to "My last words". Game changer for me.

As you metal heads know, yes, you George and Ryan, Dave was a member of Metallica. On both first albums of Megadeth and Metallica they have versions of that song. Mechanix by Megadeth. The Four Horsemen by Metallica. It would be awesome to see you contrast them.

There was actually a very subtle shift a measure before that "abrupt" transition that you loved (go back and listen for it and you'll catch it 14:10-14:12, they break the galloping riff to give you a touch of the transition). It sets your brain up so subtly that you really need to be listening for it to realize what it's doing. After that, your ear has been trained to anticipate the transition, so they can just hit you with it, and you know it's there. It's ridiculously meticulous attention to detail.

Power Trip- Executioner's Tax (Swing of the Axe)

“Megadeth is really no joke” 9:39 Correct

“They murdered that shit” lmao. No truer words ever spoken!!!

Guys, I've seen tons of reaction videos from other channels, and I have to say it. There's a reason ya'll have 1.1 million subscribers. Your reactions aren't fake. They're straight from the heart, real reactions to this music. I love it. Even if you don't like some songs that I like, it's always refreshing to see you react. Keep up the great work.

This is why I love these videos! when y'all find a badass metal song you can get into. Puts a big smile on my face! Especially when it's songs I'm really familiar like this one!

This early Megadeth was so young and drunk and high AF...yet produced several metal masterpieces.

Megadeth has been described as a jazz band playing metal by a lot of people including other bands within the genre. So much instrument talent and how they incorporate their style throughout their albums.

Id love to see a good mourning black friday review. Pretty thrashy the second half, but you have to appreciate how hard that riff is to play while singing. Its truly amazing how good they are as musicians.

The coolest thing about this channel is when I get to relisten to bands/songs in a new light that I heard years ago and wasn't too impressed by for whatever reason. I've heard this song before but I somehow missed so many cool parts of it that I might've never caught without a video like this. Same with Blackwater Park, which I heard years ago and remember thinking it was an okay song but not too special. How wrong I was

WHATS UP MY BROTHERS I REMEMBER THIS WAY BACK IN THE DAY I WAS A WEIRD BLACK BROTHA WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH METAL!!!!!

Ryan, we love you! Your unabashed reactions to songs are so enrolling. Thanks for reviewing this song, I really enjoyed your take!

My absolute FAVORITE Megadeth jam! This song is beyond amazing!

Megadeth is my all time favorite metal band. They're the ones that sent me down the rabbit hole. Its great to see you guys appreciate them so much Fun fact, the drummer and lead guitarist, Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland, respectively, were jazz trained musicians. Its awesome that you can hear that influence in there

When the song's so bad-ass, you have to restart it 3 times just to take it all in!!! Lol, keep up the great work, guys!

Fly is the perfect way to describe this band, especially in the albums through rust in piece. The guitarist and the drummer in this line up were mostly versed in jazz, and it makes it both progressive and swaggy. Nice work, gents.

This song has been giving me riff-gasms since I was 14 when it hit the shelves.

I love how Dave literally laid out instructions on how to conduct black magic

How does anyone dislike this video? My favorite Megadeth album ever. Dave was so damn hungry to prove himself. Masterpiece!

You guys seem so honest and likable

Some of the best moments on this channel is when the music is going, and you two are talking among yourselves, not even audible, but you can tell that you all are impressed. And where you say "Jazzy?" That's perfect. Chris Poland, the real bad ass lead player you were praising, is a huge jazz guy. Another fine reaction.

David "Junior" Elefson on bass, Gar Samuelson( R.I.P.) on drums, Chris Poland lead guitar, Dave Mustaine lead guitar. Gents this is the world's state of the art speed metal band. Most leads are Dave Mustaine.

I love when you call Metal “fly.” It’s dope.

Best megadeth album ever imo

love your reaction videos. i just love that someone appreciates my favourites as much as i do!! you really point out things i didn't even noticed before and i'm like WOOOOOOWWW NOOO WAAY it makes me love this music even more

Chris Poland and Dave Mustaine trading off solos and the late and often overlooked Gar Samuelson 🥁

I know you guys would love “in my darkest hour,” and I’d love to see your reaction.

As a HUGE Megadeth fan, seeing these 2 guys having fun, appreciating the music I love is a total blast. I love hearing it be called fly!! YOU guys are fly! lol

Really insightful self-aware commentary at the end. You help me find new ways of appreciating songs I've known for years.

Love how you guys appreciate the musicianship of megadeth. When I first heard this song in 1987 I was blown away. Still blown away to this day. When you noticed the jazz feel you were absolutely correct. Gar Samuelson was a classically trained jazz fusion drummer. He passed away way too young. This is my first comment but I love what you both are doing in getting metal music out to some that might not be into it. Keep up the great work

This whole album is a masterpiece. Devil's Island and Good Mourning/Black Friday are a must.

This music was a huge rebellious form of music for kids growing up in the 1980s. I use to buy albums because of the art work. I struck out with many and grown to love others. Killer music that is being lost. Young people don’t have the attention span to like music that has more then 3 changes.

Glad you liked this one, always found it underrated! You guys should do “In My Darkest Hour” also from Megadeth.

"THE CONJURING" Lyrics and Music by Dave Mustaine Dave Mustaine: lead vocals/guitar David Ellefson: bass/backing vocals Gar Samuelson: drums Chris Poland: guitar (All guitar solos by Mustaine) Welcome to our sanguinary sect of worship Feel at home in our black conventicle As we anathematise All those who oppose us Don't summon the devil Don't call the priests If you need the strength The conjuring Obey! Behold, the flames rise From the compass's cardinal points Burn the sacred oil And with the ashes you'll annoint Arrange the symbols Of the wizard and magician Light the candles Place the parchment paper in position Between its leaves place The lash from a black cat's eye A straw of a broom Fold and burn and centralize Don't summon the devil Don't call the priests If you need the strength Then conjure me I am the devil's advocate A salesman, if you will You know my name You know my name I met your father years ago Gave him what he'd please He called my name And you'll do the same I'm claiming what is mine by right It's time to close the deal You're bought and sold Bought and sold Come join me in my infernal depths Mephisto's Hall of Fame I've got your soul I've got your soul The conjuring Obey!

Rust In Peace is a shred masterpiece, and Countdown To Extinction may be their commercial high point, but Peace Sells to me IS Megadeth.

Thanks for letting me re-experience these for the first time all over again.

2 yrs later and I still come back to this reaction. You 2 are funny as hell. Keep kicking ass

Megadeth absolutely is, and has always been, an "all-star" team. Love em or hate em, every lineup has had A-tier musicians 🤘

David “Junior” Ellefson. Bass player extraordinaire

Dave Mustaine is THE best song composer, the way the music flows is all Dave....No one even close.

It's so good to watch you analysing and appreciating the detail to this song. Really great channel you created .

You should def check out Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour. One of their finest songs in that era.

Ryan, if you like those buildups, “Ashes in Your Mouth” off Countdown to Extinction will be your jam. It’s REAL nasty!

My favourite song of all time, it was awesome to see you guys really enjoy it for how good it really is! You guys really nailed it!

I absolutely love your reviews! You guys have an incredibly contagious love for music.

Lost in Vegas bingo. Take a card we will play it in the next video! Card 1: - Fire - Transition - Crazy - Golly - Groove Card 2: - That was Nasty - They are going off - Dope - Destruction - So fly

I've heard this song countless times over the course of 30 years. And it STILL hits me, each time i hear it.

'The Conjuring' is a great song off an album that truly has no bad songs. Dave has always kept the best in his rhythm section at the time during Megadeth's tenure. But there was something truly unique about that original lineup that was hard to beat, in my view. Anyway, if I was going to recommend a song off this album to display the greatness of Megadeth, though all the songs are killer, I would have chose 'My Last Words'. That intro and outro, especially the intro though, sounds like something from an old NES Castlevania game. KILLER! 'My Last Words' is criminally underrated as one of Megadeth's finest songs in the studio from any era of their existence. \mm/

I've qa you do this reaction 20 times in the last year and still love it. Great job!

Come on guys.... do “wake up dead...” Classic, obligatory.

I wanted you guys to react to "Good Mourning/black friday", but hell, this is a beautiful gem.

This is why Dave Mustaine is the riff master! Love your reactions! Megadeth is definitely something special. My favorite of all time actually.🤘🏼

What most people don't realize Megadeth at this stage was only in their early twenties. And they still had that musical talent at such an early age. Makes it even more mind-boggling when you think about it. They were in their early twenties

You'd love the breakdown in the opening track "wake up dead"

Peace Sells is a Masterpiece! My Last Words is a must hear track!

I love how you guys enjoyed reviewing this song!! Great vibes!

The groove in this song is so awesome, I have been listening to it since the day the album came out and I have no clue what Dave is saying...lol.....Ryan and George you guys are so much fun...and yes Ryan that sh!t is FLY!!!!
