Well shes wrong XD

Sure she said that

she never said that

fucking lier

@@superdavey69 You're acting like the elderly wouldn't of questioned the music? It's possible this happened.

Now it's almost 40.

i was 6 years old thou

LMAO

😆

Mustang?

Mustaine ***

@@Appalachianhorrorshow0428 r/wooosh

Believe its Mustane singing on that song. Its his song. On Kill 'Em All they changed the lyrics and name to 4 Horseman and Mustane kept it The Mechanix on Killings my Business.

@@mikemartin8432 it actually is James. Dave never sung in the demos

It's dave

@@metalhed3314 It's James

funnily enough, after this demo, he sounds more like Gary Lettice from the band Holocaust (also NWOBHM)

Crossing the streams .... The whole good bad thing ,

Could rupture the space/time continuum.

Crossing what? Swords? Now that’s kinda gay.

@@kushcraft9914 I feel like that's a reference to something but I cant conjure it up

hahahahaha thats great

I thought the same thing myself. Dave and James sang well together, I think. I used to have this tape back in the day. It was groundbreaking for sure.

He only did backing vocals on one track apparently most is just James doing overdubs

@@deletedhero5579 what track

@@adrianserrano7599 Killing time the cover song. Apparently that's the only one he sang backing for the rest is James overdubbing

@@deletedhero5579 oh OK- thx' .... I was always unsure about any "backing" vocals [I assumed it was Dave

Lol

0:52 *

First recorded maybe. I'm sure the few individuals in the hospital room at his conception will have something to say.

Ravenwing baby steps for James

That would be Dave dumbfuck

it is James but his voice was more higher than he sings now

its dave.

atrum wut? Hahahaha

atrum no it's definitely james

Aarhg nope that's Dave mustain

@@christopherdiaz9262 cállate aweonao

Roh Man Where’s he now?

look at him twitter

He didn’t even want to be in the band, he didn’t wanna be in the fohken ban

@@avocadodip2157 The only reason why Ron McGovney was kicked out is because Lars and James really wanted Cliff Burton in the band. They literally used Ron's garage and equipment to rehearse, and Ron was actually incredibly enthusiastic about the band. Stories go that Ron could keep timing on the rhythm better than James, but they let him go after they started to make the rounds in clubs and needed a showman who'll walk around the stage and look relaxed and confident while playing, because apparently Ron and Dave did nothing but stand in one place and headbang.

@@punkrockjoanofarc he also has a RU-vid Channel ru-vid.com/show-UCQX0EUx89jQSiF2R6EvjGGA

He was clearly listening to a ton of Diamond Head

@@phillip8429 lol true diamond head was an inspiration for him

I think it's Mustaine singing.

@@chrisd913 nope

It sucks in my opinion. Weak. Glad he manned it up and got it right for KIll 'em All

Tsar Boris III Lars did say their balls hadn't dropped yet for that recording

@@davemustaine6694 Saying that James says they'd not dropped for the Kill Em All version either

Werent they teenagers at this point or like just out of high school?

@@mintybacon8260 Probably, I think so at least in the demo

That's Dave

IMO 6:54 is better, I respect your opinion though

Undeniable! Too bad cuz all the drama had me looking for the next level,more pissed tunes,riffs that make you wanna steal cars to crash em into walls and other dumb shit that we thought was fun at the time. And by the time Nocturnal Breed came out!!!!

Pretty sure its dave in hit lights, or at least both of them ✌️

Mgee Inc. Nope

All the bands had the high note vocals in that era. Nothing surprising there.

Ron sang...

Мартин Живков definitly no

NWOBHM

Nwobhm and speed metal!

🤘

Wtf are let it loose and killing time??

@@prophetsnow5193 covers

@@prophetsnow5193 you have to study man 💥

The last 2 songs are covers - from the 'Whiskey Audition Tape'

Like he did here

James' 1985 Voice the diamond head singer is amazing

And King Diamond was his name

check out Gary Lettice from Holocaust's first album if you think he switched to his own style. James's style is basically Glenn Danzig + Gary Lettice. Not a bad thing though, I love Metallica

This should be on Spotify. Best Metallica line up

Hey Thanks! :)

Innsmouth44 a vos man ! ;D

Thank you!!!

It's says all that in the description

+Angel Vigo Thanks ¡

He didn't copy it completely. He added a certain musicality to it. He played for the song rather than look at me I can play a lot of notes and over power the song

@@renatus6883 they both shred

I don't think Kirk is bitter that many think Dave is better than him. He said that he was very happy when Metallica and dave played together on stage and that it didn't feel akward or anything like that

Ride the lightning was he's time to shine and he did.

@Wyatt Eberlin If it wasn't for grung, metal would've kept it's pace and Metallica had not needed to change their sound.

Kirk doesn't seem like the bitter type.

Poor wittle kirk

Became more badass!

💀💀

It's because it's Lloyd Grant

​@AdenplaysguitarI recorded this demo... Haha

The album that started America thrash because overkill from Motörhead was the first thrash sound my man .. even Metallica knows that ,,,

while metallica "started" trash in america hellhammer and bathory started BlackMetal in Europe!

Yea it was Lars'knowledge of underground European metal that influenced the thrash movement in America

@@h1n1worm Wouldn’t it be Venom and Bathory who started it?

@@200pumb You forgot to throw venom in there.

Oh... ok i thought he was like backup vocals or something

I mean, he never sang in Metallica, don't know what is this comment for

@@franekpyzel6943 it's cause there comments of people saying that's Dave singing

Cliff was singing backing vocals

@@voice_of_g Cliff isn't on the demo. It's Ron McGovney.

this is only the most well known drama in all of metal and pop culture. imagine how much money they would make if they remastered it and released it on TAPE and CD only. package it with a usb tape player in the package for 60 bucks - BRAND TWO VERSIONS, A METALLICA AND MEGADETH VERSION - watch both fly like f HOT F CAKES! id buy 2 of each. 4 sets. 2 to open and 2 to preserve.

This would be bad ass on vinyl.

Even the Mona Lisa is getting old

Why did he get fed up

Awesome

yeah you cant just leave that out there. a pussy over what? Not giving in to mediocrity?

Typical dave 😂

​@@shred9475 it's a young Dave mustaine that's why lol. Dude is a monster player, but he only seemed to turn into an approachable fellow with old age. I wouldn't want to be around a 20 year old Dave mustaine

🤘😝

James was actually still 18 cause this was recorded in July

Thank Mustaine for most of it.

@@animalsarefood Thank James and Lars for most it you mean

@ChristIsKing Well if you think 4 cowrites on a 10 song album is most then I can't help you im afraid haha. James wrote most of kill em all not Dave. And you saying it's their best album is just your opinion, not a fact. And I can personally easily choose top 5 albums from megadeth, their first five before they sold out and then went to rehashing old ideas and Daves voice sounding like an old angry grandma. Peace sells is amazing but I'd put master of puppets and ride the lightning above It...again opinion.

@@deletedhero5579I like both bands but rust in peace is the best thrash metal album ever (just my opinion)

Damn!

😂

jump in the fire... now it makes sense lol

That was a complete Muistane song, They all changed the lyrics later.

Gustavo Lourenço more like jump on the fire ;)

AMEN

I mean St. Anger was pretty raw and angry too

I feel like that could’ve been a Megadeth album title. So Raw, So Angry…So Good!

Ya except lars wanted everyone to turn the bass down when listening to it lol. He's a prick.

Whole lot louder than Newstead.

@@73xlhThat’s cause Newsted’s bass was turned down during the mixing process

@@OnTheEdgex23 You're sure quick on the draw..

kinda? i wish they realzied what they had, even dave. rage was flowing their young veins, which enabled this creativity but acted as a doubled edged sword, fueling their appetites for desctruction (see what i did there?)

@@samuraikyokkan you went full gay no one goes full gay

​@@Jakevoss96 😂😂😂😂

And it certainly wouldn’t be the last, yeah yeah!!

@@goldenwolf8081 Especially his Load era 'yeahs' he supplied them with great dedication haha

Thats Ron McGovney on Bass not Cliff

@@utubehound69well Dave and cliff did play together

​@@Possiblyclinicallyinsane17not on this video they didnt

i think dave mustaine was right about the band having too much talent in all members for it to ever last. dave sure didn't help by being a looney drunk, but he had that leader mentality that probably would never have lasted anyway.

haha Cliff didnt play on this. Poser

I love how Dave used those lyrics in his own band since Metallica changed the lyrics

@@lan_havez4110 Mustaine used those lyrics because the song was wrote entirely by him so Metallica was forced to change it when Dave was fired as he forbid them to use his music.... which Metallica did used anyway in some way.

"Originated" bro... they're the same...

No cap...Mechanix on Megadeths "Last Rites" demo from 1984 hit a lot harder than this

@@Max-eg7nx Truth

Everyone was pentatonic then lol

@bhauger1 adding the single chromatic note onto the pentatonic minor to make the Blues scale does not make him a chromatic player lmao.

@@dudeman5303 Maybe not, but this does: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S6LL5iA6y9o.html

bhauger1 lol thats one of the funniest things ive ever heard.

Your point being.......? That ur a 2 digs guitar player and can't make a pentatonic minor scale do magical things? I need to find a new mode dude!

+Brett Wodon that being said, Kill Em All as a whole was better than these early demos. James' vocals became harsher and screamier.

+Brett Wodon Mostly written by Mustaine? The thing is that Dave - being the insecure narcissist he is - always overexaggerated his importance as well as songwriting contributions in Metallica. Just like he regularly downplays the talents or contributions of ex-Megadeth musicians or attributes their accomplishments to himself. That's just standard Dave, spinning his stories, craving for validation and trying to make himself look grand. Dude co-wrote 4 songs on Kill 'Em All. That's it... Megadeth rocks, but Dave has always been a windbag and a mess.

You obviously have a bad ear. Dave wrote other songs that he never got credit for. He got ripped off big time. Do you think he cares at this point? Why should he? He gets royalties from Metallica and always will. Doesn't go vice-versa. Dave owes Metallica nothing. Dave's not credited for Hit the Lights. Think he cares? No. He just put out New World Order. Ending sound familiar? Did Metallica dare sue? Nope. They just shut their pieholes because they don't have anything against him, especially after the catalogs of music Metallica & Megadeth have put out over the years. Dave's songwriting style and arrangements are IMMEDIATELY recognizable. It was easy for Metallica to deny Dave's contributions early on, but time tells all. Metallica got a big royalty from 20th Century Fox for X-Men: Apocalypse... and so did Dave. Do you even business bro? Do you even compose bro? You're ragging on a guy who influenced 3/4 of the Big 4. Of any SOLE INDIVIDUAL that's influenced thrash, it's single-handedly Dave Mustaine. I'm no blindly loyal fanboy -- Dave says some dumb shit from time to time, and I pretend Risk doesn't exist, but talent is talent. He made something of himself... TWICE. How about you make something of yourself ONCE before you go bashing an elite musician.

Mustaine fanboys are a special breed - neurotic by proxy.

Didn't have a sound? They fucking defined thrash metal. They WERE the sound.

Kirk Hammett had to study what Mustaine did to try and copy him lol. There's no competition at all. Mustaine made metallica what it became along with Cliff Burton. Kirk Hammett just happened to be there.

Killing is My Business still had half-assed sounding solos.

Fabrice Bacquart James and Lars have always been the reason for the bands success. Mustaine was their in the early days but they did fine without him while Cliff just introduced the band to the basics of music theory but in terms of songwriting still James and Lars.

Mustaine was not the man who defines the sound of Metallica. Metallica's sound was set after Kirk and Cliff. Without Kirk's signagure solos, you cannot say it Metallica

Exactly. also this was 1 year prior everyone else on here is much sloppier too!

Fellow বাঙালি metalhead \m/

Megatallica/Metaldeth

if dave hadnt been kicked out they would have been bigger than the beatles

ONESTEPAHEAD In Yu Yu Hakusho, there’s this band called Megallica

It's amazing how well Dave performed on this album considering he was such a drunk that they kicked him out of the band. (sarcasm)😂

We all know Lars wanted Dave gone because Dave didn't listen to Lars' bullshit.

Same here. It's an epic anthem, timeless. And funny that it's Lars only uncredited song. Hoe fitting lol

but from the version final of kill em all are from Kirk?

+TheMaverick13 the solos on Kill Em All, although played by kirk are pretty much the same solos that Dave and James wrote for the demos

The only thing kirk did with the final version of Kill Em All is change the solos.

James didn't write solos on this album. Dave was and still is quite capable of figuring out his own solos.

i think the solo in Hit the Lights is play by Lloyd Grant tho

Ikr it’s James but he was trying to sing like the singer from diamond head. They were big influences and they did many diamond head covers

Dave sings on this too. It's very apparent when it's him.

R.I.P Johnny Z

who knows, they might even become the biggest band in the world

Will Arterberry The bass sounded good nothing spectacular though. The drums were really solid and the guitars were great. The vocalist gotta go but his rhythm playing was great. Maybe he should stay for an album or two.

:No:

Lol. Yes

Hell Yeah! \m/

Raven is part of the NWOBHM, sure they were influential for the genre, but they are not pure thrash in that sense.

Gabriel Maco They're not Thrash Metal at all, and yes they are influence to thrash metal how ever/

Awesome! And likewise, Metallica was the first thrash band I heard For whom the bell tolls. But Magedeth Peace Sells was my fav!

Yeah indeed

That's james trying to copy the diamond head singer. Idk why people keep thinking it's dave when it's easy to tell it's james and all sources say james sang. Edit: are you referring to back vocals? That might be Dave but no credits ever say that
