To me this really is Megadeth's 'Black Album'; great songs, great production, top performances, less speed and more melody

@chris5386 Год назад

@melchior2678 Год назад

WTF? Black Album doesn't even compare to Youthanasia. Every song from Youthanasia is memorable and HEAVY AF whereas the Black Album was mostly a bunch of songs that were totally forgettable plus a few played-out radio hits. I would rather listen to Load (which is actually very underrated) than the Black Album.

@LeftEyeless Год назад

@@melchior2678 lol you're nuts. Black albums deep cuts are the best partof it. Through the Never, Of Wolf and Man, God that Failed, Misery, Struggle within. The opposite of forgettable.

Youthanasia came out during a dark time in my life. I love it because it was like a friend during hard times. I did hear though that Dave M. had some idea that songs had to be 120bpm to be hits so he did this a ton on this album. I think I read that somewhere.

10:59 Dave straight up pilfered that one straight from the George Lynch handbook. That one is almost identical to that unison riff from “In My Dreams”. Not surprised either since all those 80s thrash guys were closet Dokken and Ratt fans but their fans would have probably disowned them had they known that lol. As always Uncle Ben, all killer no filler when it comes to the content. I Would love to see a Riff Retrospective on some more of the heavies from the 90s like Fear Factory & Nevermore or some At the Gates or In Flames if that’s more your cup of tea. Again, great video as always man.

@paulmiller1803 Год назад

I’ve recently rediscovered this album myself. Somehow I slept on it when it came out… for whatever reason, it seemed “less than” when it first came out, so I passed it by. Now as Megadeth’s entire body of work so clearly stands the test of time, I’ve really come to appreciate this album. It’s among my favorites.

@NelderGuitar Год назад

The solo section for victory is so killer too. What a fantastic album

@TheBeadleMachine Год назад

Uncle Ben, regarding the tuning - the original version was in Eb, but when it came to the remasters some (if not all?) songs were pitched shifted ever so slightly, and speeds adjusted. I remember when I got the remasters not being able to play along anymore because of the pitch difference. I just did this on Spotify. If you load up the Killing Road intro on the original version and then immediately play the remaster you'll hear the pitch difference. I think Blood of Heroes is another obvious one. Thanks for the awesome video!

@SxTxD_KY Месяц назад

RIP is Dave's Magnum Opus. Sorry, it just is. But what I love about Youthanasia is how listenable it is. The choruses especially were earworms for me. I vividly remember walking the halls freshman year of high school, a year before I ever got an iPod, hearing, "Still aaaalive...blood of heroes...neverrrrr die, etc." in my head. That was a rough year for me, and Megadeth helped propel me through it.

Countdown and Youthanasia are the only two Megadeth albums that I really come back to.

Speaking of underrated Marty Friedman solos, I think vortex is definitely one of them. I'm kinda surprised nobody ever talks about that one

The whole vortex is a really good song, is I think the most thrashier song in the album

Oh yes, I just recently came back to this album after a good while. There really isn't a weak link on the album, just a lot of good ol' simple but effective s o n g s. They ain't technical, they ain't complicated, but my gawd are they good.
