Shout out to our Patron Evyatar for this awesome request. In his video I react to this awesome Masterpiece by Megadeth. The song is called my last words.
I know I'm wearing a Metallica shirt in a Megadeth reaction but I don't give a fuck. I love and respect both bands. They both make good-ass music. I do enjoy Megadeth more though. :)
This is the 2nd song I ever heard from Megadeth and have been a stan ever since...and that was 1986. I bleed Vic Rattlehead for the last 34 years! I highly recommend "44 Minutes", "KingMaker", "Hook In Mouth", "High Speed Dirt", "Paranoid", "99 Ways To Die", "Family Tree", "Elysian Fields", "FFF"....all are 1st class ass kicking bangers!
@@jasonthetapersonal Again, I would have to agree. It seems like an outlier on the album, and I often skip it. To me some of Peace sounds like early proto blackened thrash at times.
My all time favorite Megadeth song. Bar none. Nothing comes even close. The aggression is through the roof. Dave telling a story of a game of russian roulette. Ellefson's absolutely crazy bassline whenever the guitars aren't flying. That bassline made me quit bass many times. And last, but certainly not least. The guitarsolo is the apex Mustaine solo. Speedy, accurate and extremely cool. For girlfriend Megadeth reactions.. I'd say go with an easier song. Symphony of Destruction Trust A Tout Le Monde In My Darkest Hour Those are the easy listening songs, although cool songs, but not in my top end for Megadeth, except In My Darkest Hour, which is amazing.
I would also for your lady recommend "Crush 'Em" or "A Tout Le Monde". They are "lighter" songs from 'Deth and are still serious bangers. From there she could start dipping into the catalog and find MANY gems that will make her a stan like me!!
This song still gives me chills man! Awesome video! Don't forget the other songs from this album! (Good Mourning/Black Friday, Devils Island, Bad Omen) They are all masterpieces!
Oh, Mr. Ellefson, what an incredible bass line, and the rest of this amazing song. I enjoy so much your rection videos,. greetings from Spain, un saludo amigos.
I always liked how the main guitar riff is cyclical in nature, much like a spinning bullet chamber before it stops. I wonder if Dave did that on purpose? If so...genius.
Megadeth songs for girls - I'll Be There - A Tout Le Monde - Coming Home - I Thought I Knew It All - I'll Get Even - Promises - The Hardest Part of Letting Go... - Wanderlust
Some other calmer songs that are better to start of with if you are not familiar with heavy music and want to get in to Megadeth Time: The Beginning (criminally underrated ballad) Countdown To Extinction (a good political message also) Captive Honour (first half anyway) Family Tree (heavy but melodic and slow tempo) Angry Again (slow heavy song, one of my favorite choruses ever) as well as almost all songs of Cryptic Writings
That's what I like about you, bro you always seem to actually enjoy what you're doing. Plus it helps you're a fan like me. Yes, I prefer Megadeth over the more Pop-sounding Metallica.
By far, my favorite MegADetH album of all time! Every single song on there is one of the most rocking MegADetH records ever! You still have "Wake Up Dead", "Devils Island" about Alcatraz. Have you heard "The Conjuring" off of it yet? I know you did "Peace Sells".
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Yeah I like that break in the middle of the song, them power chord riffs are just insane & Dave unlike James was the guitarist to do that. James & Kirk had to break up the riffs & recorded them separately & dubbed them together.
@@45scienceproject It's about a movie called Papillon. Check out Devil's Island live from Rude Awakening. It's on my channel. He says that before the song.
I probably commented a long time ago, I'm revisiting the Megadeth reactions. This was one of their hardest albums. This album proved they were far far beyond Metallica
I know this is an old video and you probably won't see this, but I got to tell you . I watch you react to Megadeth every once in a while when I'm feeling low. Thanks for the great reactions!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Yes! They are amazing. I did high school from 88-91, basically the best years for metal and it was a blessing! For the life of me, I still can't decide who's better, Metallica or Megadeth. Can they really be tied for #1?
The music of this song also has a rotating, swirling sound, like the gun spinning on the table, or the spinning cylinder of the revolver. It’s cool you noticed that; it was one of the first things I noticed when I first heard it in my early teens, back in the early-mid 1990s.
Love love love that song!!!! Everytime I hear, I'm helpless to do anything but spin the whole album.... Most badass lyrics ever. When I was a kid, I always mentally tied this tune to the Russian roulette scenes from The Deer Hunter, and Everytime I hear it, I see that movie.
For your lady's 1st Megadeth experience, definitely " a tout le monde" it's a very deep meaning song based on a dream Dave had of his dead Mother who was & did speak French. She'll like it!
This album shaped my youth and attitude towards life. I love Dave because of his take no shit attitude. My father was absent like a lot of kids in my generation and the music was my only friend at times.
I totally feel you. I was 15 when I first heard Megadeth. First song was "These Boots Are Made For Walking" which I was not all that hot about. The 2nd was "My Last Words" and I have been a stan ever since. I almost cried in '02 when they broke up. Up to that point, I had seen them live everytime in either Phoenix, Las Vegas or San Diego..or all three. I know that I personally help fund Dave's and David's kids college tuition with all of the merch and albums I have bought including all Japanese imports and European imports. I also kept all of my ticket stubs from those shows starting in 1988. I have close to 50 ticket stubs by now. My next big 'Deth purchase will be MegaCruise if they do that again.
The first movement of the dave solo is borrowed from Merlin castle by Yngwie malmsteen (1978) on Powerhouse and Birth of the sun (1980) demos that were tape traded in the bay aera , which would become the Rising force solo in Odyssey (1988) for thoses who wondered who took from who.
Actually when I first heard it many years ago I didn't bother looking at the lyrics an just viking into the music bcuz Im into music with great guitar harmonies an THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY MEGADETH
So many people speaks abut the Mustaine solo and the sensational speed and tempo of the song, but an that bassline of Ellefson is the best part of tis song for me, and I love all the song, my favourite Megadeth song by far
Megadeth is more of a Speed Metal band than a Thrash Metal band. They were always considered Thrash Metal, being part of the Big 4, but with almost 45 years worth of true heavy metal, and many sub genres clearly defined today, I think it would be safe to say that Megadeth falls more into that Speed Metal genre because their riffs are fast and melodic, but lack that chugging riff sound that thrash metal is best known for.
man, i find it funny how you react to songs which led me through my teens in your recent videos. as i've commented on your last reaction to judas priest, it was a song i listened to during my apprenticeship as a bricklayer, now this song here i had on my psp back in 2007/08 when i was in military service. listening to the whole album when i had the opportunity to do so, but my last words was my favourite of that record back then. by now, i think i like the song "black friday" the most from the peace sells album.
I think when it comes to listening to megadeth you should alway listen to the remasters. I remember walking to school everyday listening to them on cassette wishing the sound quality was better.
It is odd on some songs though. Because he re-recorded vocals, I can’t listen to the really low/demon voice on Five Magics. It’s singing now, instead of the original version, where it just repeats the words.
You gotta watch the movie Deer Hunter with Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken. I believe that was the inspiration for this song... And a nice easy Megadeth tune to introduce Tasha to might me something like Sweating Bullets, A Tout le Monde, or Promises. She might even cry for the last two.
Another great reaction T the music matchs the lyrics is prob one of your best quotes , if you want to do a Megadeth duet with Tasha then Countdown to Extinction is a great choice lyrically it's about his disgust of blood sports and animal hunting, musically matchs the song just like your view on "my last words" and a vocally his best
I agree with how immersive and intense this song is. It definitely draws you in to Dave's deranged world and makes you feel like you're actually playing or at least witnessing a game of Russian Roulette.
This is one of my personal favorite Megadeth songs. That guitar solo and at the end iver the furious 16th riffs is everything right about music! You really need to check out the song "Kick The Chair" off of The Systen Has Failed, it's a brilliant newer Megadeth song
A Tout Le Monde or Family Tree from their Youthanasia release would be an epic React! Family Tree: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e7HA3zPrQso.html A Tout Le Monde: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aU-dKoFZT0A.html
Song to recommend? You could try Countdown To Extinction, A Tout Le Monde, Train Of Consequences, Addicted To Chaos, Trust, Almost Honest, She Wolf. There are others, but you can't go wrong with those.
If your girl is first listening to Megadeth, and she's kind of a romantic type what's kind of a cool song and has somewhat of a deep meaning would be Promises by Megadeth. It was a huge hit form. It's a pretty cool video. Kind of like Twilight the movie. Or real catchy cool song that sounds like a locomotive in the beginning would be train of consequences. By Megadeth Or if she's a staunch supporter of our military, she has to hear Blood of Heroes. Me being ex-army that song. Got me pumped. And brought a tear to my eye when I thought about my friends.
Also Il see that you are doing lyrics reaction too, to understand better the song you're reacting. So I as a French metalhead I recommand you '' Gojira''. For me it's the best mix of greats riffs, rityms and greats lyrics. You really should check it out, also I think many of your subs know this band cause they are very popular in US.🤘🏻🇫🇷
Based on the Metallica songs she's done on this channel, and some of the other bands too.... I'd have no idea where to start someone from ground zero on Megadeth. I only own a Megadeth hits cd because it had so many songs I knew I liked from them that I thought it was worth the money LOL. I'd say my favorite Megadeth tunes are Peace Sells, Sweathing Bullets, and Symphony of Destruction. My next wave would be Prince of Darkness, Hangar 18, and Holy Wars.
