@@mikerauter1859 the closest to the rip era (in my opinion) is Dystopia, I mean Kiko's solos on that album are really good and Chris Adler gave life to the drums of megadeth again (not that Shawn was a bad drummer, but besides a few songs like kingmaker or sudden death, he sounded like a drum program or a souless robot in the albums he's in)
Thanks Bro for playing my FAVORITE Band🤘Skeletons of Society my Favorite song🤘Thrash Metal Never died in my life..🤘Long Live THRAH/ EXTREME Metal🤘 ⚰RIP Hanneman & Menza ⚰ 🤘🤘🖤From Meghalaya 🇮🇳🖤🤘🤘
Not just that album. I like 'system has failed' and 'countdown to extinction' a lot too. Some of their best songs are on there. I'm a huge Megadeth fan, so consider me biased. But I genuinely think they've made some of the best metal.
@@moscovciucartemie6019 Dude, you've commented on EVERY comment here that they prefer Megadeth than Slayer. Whoa, we have a keyboard warrior here that had a shitty day and now he's angry at some angry people because they prefer something else than his preferences!
@@yannickfillon3851 agree, Rust in Peace is their masterpiece. Nevertheless, there are other albums that are metal gems, Peace Sells…but Who’s Buying is also a great album
That's precisely what I was going to comment. Mustaine is a great guitar player but Hannemann was by far a better songwriter. And I say this while I'm a huge fan of Rust In Peace.
@@SpeedwayIncahaha nice joke, Hanneman can’t play Dave Mustaine riffs even if his life depends on it. Also no one is better than Dave Mustaine in songwriting in thrash metal, this guy still going strong since the band was born.
@Misanthrope agreed, those Slayer voals are so intense and full of aggression while Megadeth vocals have always been the weakest part of the band. Thats coming from a huge Megadeth fan
My father passed away in 2016 when I was 8. As I’ve grown up I’ve always loved metal, Megadeth was his favourite band.. i have so many good memories of listening to metal with him.. whenever I have a bad day I always listen to some Megadeth and it cheers me right up. Awesome playing by the way!
I went to see MEGADETH and SLAYER back in 2010 where they both played their albums "Rust In Peace" and "Seasons In The Abyss" from start to finish. Awesome show!!
These are both great albums but Rust in peace is insane. Tornado of souls has one of the best metal solos. Then there's killer riffs in Five magics, Rust in peace polaris and holy wars. That lineup in Rust in peace was amazing.
There was a single golden year in heavy metal, that would be 1990! Megadeth’s Rust in Peace is 100% masterpiece, the state-of-the-art thrash metal. Slayer’s 5th studio album is surely one of their finest! Thank you for your great performance.
@@livinglikelarry5056 That's true! 1986 was the golden year of thrash metal. I was an infant back then and I wish I would have experienced that era as an adult, better yet, as a teenager. Thank you for your reply.
There is no "Versus" between these two albums, as far as I'm concerned. They kept me company as I flew to, during my time at, and the flight home from Desert Shield and Desert Storm. If I remember correctly, Seasons came out about a month before I left, and I think Rust was only out for about a week. Thank you much for what you do. I love watching your videos, especially when one band is having a go and the other mime-riffs :)
Thank you for your service, I just missed Desert Storm as I wasn't old enough to "take the shilling" as we say this side of the pond. I joined in early 93 and it was still, let's say "open wounds" even when I did get in. Those upstairs had a lot to answer for by all accounts. Hope your knees and back made it out OK 😊
The best riff in RIP is the one in Holy Wars. Not the introductory one, which is the most popular, but rather the one that is played right after Mustaine starts singing. It heavy, melodic and extremely kickass. The absolute combination.
Season in the abyss album has good riffs..but I'd go with RIP.. Dave riffs are insane.. when you can play the whole RIP riffs along with the solos .. you've mastered Guitar upto some point.
It's difficult for any good metalhead to have a favorite between these two historical pieces of art, so let me just say that each of them has my favorite song from each band, namely "Tornado of Souls" and "Dead Skin Mask". You rule, dude. Keep it up!
Huge, huge Slayer fan here. So yeah, Seasons. I'm more into the aggressive style Slayer always brings to the table. But Holy Wars IMO is one of the top 3 thrash songs ever written. But both albums are complete masterpieces.
I've been a Slayer fan for over 30 years, but I've also been a fan of Rust in Peace for just as long... but I gotta say that album will kick the crap out of almost anything you put up against it!
Well looks like I'm going to be blasting these two albums for the next couple weeks. I always love watching these, gets me in the mood to go back and listen to some of the classics. Keep doing your thing man! You're great.
They sound equal , those riffs could be on the same album . But Megadeth has that extra bit of musicality to it where it's not just about head banging , it's like Mozart .
War Ensemble is one of the greatest metal songs of all time, but speaking of albums, Rust in Peace is stronger overall. Well, that's just like my opinion, man.
I can never decide between albums like these. They're both their own masterpieces. I love both and I'll (hopefully) never be in a place where I *have* to pick which is the better one.
I think Seasons was when we really saw what Slayer's potential was outside of their classics, which showed why they were equally part of the big 4, and Rust is just self explanatory, it's arguably the best line up, and album in their discography.
Damn riff fest going on in here!! I’ve always been more of a Megadeth fan but definitely appreciate Slayer and this album. It’s a lot closer than people think! Cheers to a great video man!
Exactly, before I start watching this video in automatic Rust was the winner, but slayer really killed it with seasons, one if not theirs best work. Both great records indeed, a very close call.
These are the 2 of the first 3 albums that I ever bought, when I was a 14-year-old kid, back in 1992, after I decided that heavy metal would be the only genre for me. I bought them all from a guy, not a store. (third one as king diamond's "them") I did not choose them. The guy (from high school) told me that he had heard that I was into metal and said he could sell me those 3 albums at half price. I owe a lot to him! And finally, I definitely had no idea that I was about to buy 3 heavy metal masterpieces of all time, at once!
I like Seasons, but it's got to be RIP for me, every time. Classic, classic album. Now, Rust In Peace vs Ride the Lightning - that's one that would leave me undecided.
When it comes to the technical sound of Thrash Metal, Megadeth can be said for sure. When it comes to blunt battle hymns, in this case only SLAYER !!! Greetings from Poland
"Dawn Patrol" was funny! Great riff battle! Killer riffs from both of those bands. Megadeth is more technical, but they had Marty back then. NEXT: Do riff battle between LOVEBITES and HELLOWEEN/IRON MAIDEN ! Hehehe!
1990 was a hell of a year for metal. Pantera: Cowboys from Hell, Judas Priest: Pain Killer, Megadeth: Rust in Peace, Slayer: Seasons in the Abyss, Obituary: Cause of Death, Death: Spiritual Healing. Bought most of them day one. Hey kiddies, this is the real metal!🤘
All these vids are fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to figure them all out and then put them in order by year/album release. Shows how epic these riffs weere/are. Great playing too!
Rust in Peace sits at the top for me. It's too good, too perfect. It's such an onslaught of creativity and originality for thrash. It is the crowned jewel IMO
Most intersting aspect of slayer is that they never seem to over do a riff or any groove, so that it may not lose it's impact on repeat listens... This may sound gibberish but it's the best i can explain
Yeah that was a good one my late friend enjoyed that tune too taught me how to play it on the drums first and then on the guitar and then dancing by the light of the Moon Mr gean . Hallowed be. I scream. Slayer.
Too good to be true. I pretty much enjoy all of your videos but this one might be my favorite so far, probably because the two albums you have covered are up there in my top 10 list of favorite metal albums, with Rust in Peace being #1 probably, but regardless, thanks for the awesome experience. You Rock! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
A real tough battle!!! Both records are literal Riff Factories!!! That being said, Rust In Peace is in a class of its own for riff creativity, complexity and overall musicality.
It's just sped-up rock riffs with a heavier lean on pentatonic blues licks for flair/filler. If that's your thing, fine, but as far as riffing goes, objectively speaking it's not thrash or hardly metal especially when compared to Slayer.
@@DeTriomfvandeDood There's nothing objective whatsoever about what you just said. Slow down most thrash songs to half tempo and you'd end up with rock riffs: that's what thrash stems from. One of the most ridiculous comments I've seen in a while.
I was that you about 20 years ago in Melbourne I jump the fence and you stop me from getting kicked out he gave the nod it was wasn’t it cheers for that I appreciate it you know I didn’t mean to do any trouble just trying A bit of fun 👍🤟 Thanks for keeping me had the best night thanks so much
Was never a huge metal guy, but was really into thrash and hardcore as a teen, but had both of these albums in HS. I love this slayer album and still listen to it when I’m working out or mowing the grass ha. Head banging riffs. Great RU-vid video 👍🏼🎸
