Theatre Kid Reacts to MEGADETH: Sweating Bullets 

Dave, like many metal personalities, definitely has a bit of theater kid in him.

Love your take on this. Music videos aside, this whole album (Countdown to Extinction) is 🔥

Love that you reacted to this. Love this video Megadeth - Angry Again Megadeth - Go To Hell

Thanks God, he was fired from Metallica so he could make Megadeth which is more enjoyable for my personal taste. Cool reaction Charis.

I nearly spit out my drink when you said what in the beetle juice I knew exactly what you meant instantly

You would probably really like "A tout le monde" the story I heard was the song was originally completely in English and like he tested it at a French show and they sung the chorus in French and he was hooked by it and made it permanent

If I remember there is a video somewhere of Alex Brightman singing a Megadeth song. I know he was on School of Rock and in an interview he said how much he loved Megadeth so there is that at least.

The Warning's first video for the song XXI Century Blood is one of the best I've ever seen and has won several awards for good reason. I highly recommend it. Megadeth A Tout Le Monde either the original or the new (set me free) version featuring Cristina Scabbia both are great songs with music videos that you really like.

Megadeth has a great catalog. As metal goes their lyrics are more cerebral than most other metal bands in my opinion. Mustaine is also one of my favorite guitarists of that genre.

This song comes out of left field. That’s what I love about MEGADETH. Thank you for the reaction.🤘🏻👍🏻 Hopefully more MEGADETH is coming. Just subbed!

I really think "A Tout la Monde" would be your vibe. Also quite different!

Loving the videos 🤘🏻❤️

Hangar 18! It’s the song right after Holy Wars. How convenient 😆

-The director of the video was Wayne Isham, who had done work with Metallica, Motley Crüe, Bon Jovi, and Janet Jackson. -I had bought the album when it came out.I slowly fell out of love for it because it had been a departure from their 1st four albums. However, I redeveloped my love for it a few years back and this song was one of my major reasons. While the musical approach was very different from their previous work, the lyrical content and themes were very much Megadeth. -Something I realized recently is that some of the most fun songs to listen to deal with poor mental health issues. *”Sweating Bullets” by Megadeth *”Paranoid” by Black Sabbath *”Falling To Pieces” by Faith No More *”Scissors” and “Perennial” by Jinjer *”Institutionalized” by Suicidal Tendencies *”Mr. Brownstone” by Guns N Roses *”Master of Puppets” by Metallica *”Little Crazy” by Fight

Great reaction Charis, be well young lady.

Love this song, love this album. This song isn't typical thrash, it's slowed down thrash.

This album, “Countdown to Extinction” was Megadeth’s first album moving out of Thrash and into a more mainstream Metal. It is, I believe, their highest selling album. There are some more Thrash element songs off this album, just as there are some more radio friendly song as well. I believe you would enjoy ‘Ashes in Your Mouth’. Not ‘Holy Wars…’ but more musically pleasing than ‘Sweating Bullets’.

Thanks to Dave for naming it - I've had many a Black Tooth in my day. ;) Getcha pull.

An ode to psychosis by Dave Mustaine... this was from 1992 and strangely, he was clean & sober when he wrote this track (Dave Mustaine has a history of drug & alcohol abuse) ... For reference: Dave Mustaine's vocal style was inspired by the original theatrical shock rocker - Alice Cooper, the guy who created the anti-hero rock star onstage (Check out "School's out" by Alice Cooper)... and punk rock singer Johnny Rotten of The Sex Pistols (Check out 'God save the Queen' by The Sex Pistols) 'Beetlejuice' came out in 1988, long after Alice Cooper, The Sex Pistols and Megadeth 😈 Megadeth was a lot more technical as a thrash/ speed metal band in the years 1985 to 1991... and that put them ahead of their peers like Exodus, Death Angel, Suicidal Tendencies, etc... Dave Mustaine was Metallica's original lead guitarist and he was fired in 1983 just before their first album "Kill 'em all" was recorded... Mustaine vowed revenge and formed Megadeth; he wanted to obliterate his former band... but as Megadeth grew in popularity, Metallica became superstars over time and it was a tough pill for him to swallow. In 1991, Mustaine heard about Metallica's 'black' album being recorded and it would be a departure from thrash metal to cross over into a streamlined metal sound... So, Mustaine opted to do the same w/ Megadeth's '92 album 'Countdown to extinction'... The tempos were slower, the attitude was still mean, and the songs were much more diverse & melodic w/ tracks like - "Symphony of destruction" ... 'Foreclosure of a dream' ... 'Ashes in your mouth'... 'Countdown to extinction'... 'Sweating bullets'...🤘🤘🔥🔥 Sadly, Megadeth's 'Countdown to extinction' only made it to #2 on the US charts in '92 (Metallica's 'black' album went to #1 in '91) and even though it sold 2x platinum, Metallica sold about 9 million copies (16 million to date) in the US... Dave Mustaine could not eclipse the popularity of his former band.

Love it, classic video and song.

Need the video of their cover of No More Mr Nice Guy, where Mustaine was so strung out he couldn't manage to sing and play guitar at the same time.

Nick Menza makes me laugh in this video. The dude is just having fun with it.

One of the coolest music videos ever made. I love it!

Dave is a true redhead...🤣🤣🤣 And Charis?...🤔Only temporarily...🤣🤣🤣

Megadeth Rules

So, just some info on what a Megadeath is Megadeath - A unit used in quantifying the casualties of nuclear war, equal to the deaths of one million people.

This is a super cool video from the early 90's

If I heard Alex Brightman singing that clip from Beatlejuice live and in person, I absolutely would have thought, “he must be a big Sweating Bullets fan.” Oh, and I love going to Broadway shows in NY too.

Go To Hell by Megadeth is a personal favorite with a very theatrical music video, check it out

If you haven't done "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies please do. It's a similar energy, but maybe even more crazy.

Never really thought about how Tim burtonesque the music video was lol

We all have been at least once in our life in a constant battle with our own minds. The song and the video reflects that. It is genious video very unique.

Check out their song Victory. The lyrics reference several of their songs up to the time (1995). Now one day I started telling everyone that killing is my business, and I was hung like a martyr From looking down the cross, my skull beneath the skin prophesized last rites, loved to death my friends Then I started seeing bad omens in my head, good mourning black Friday, will I wake up dead If I aint superstitious, then this won't mean a thing, but some crazy sh*t has happened since the conjuring - Killing Is My Business - Looking Down The Cross - Skull Beneath The Skin - Last Rites / Loved To Deth - Bad Omens - Good Mourning / Black Friday - Wake Up Dead - I Aint Superstitious - The Conjuring Came anarchy to set the world afire, pain of hook in mouth in my darkest hour Corruption of the world, peace sells but nobody's buying, ignorant religion, holy wars and the dying Tornado nearly got me by the skin of my teeth, this was my life, foreclosure of my dreams May the past rust in peace in hangar 18, and countdown to extinction just be a bad dream... Lucretia said *cackle* - Anarchy In The UK - Set The World Afire - Hook In Mouth - In My Darkest Hour - Peace Sells - Holy Wars - Tornado Of Souls - Skin Of My Teeth - This Was My Life - Foreclosure Of A Dream - Rust In Peace - Hangar 18 - Countdown To Extinction - Lucretia Not even close Not even close Not even close To overdose Had fingers in my eyes Had needles in my veins A knife right through my heart I am a victory

Slayer guitarist Kerry King played with Megadeth during their first 5 shows on 1984. He then quit & went back to Slayer. Kerry has said Dave Mustaine is nuts & doesn't understand how anyone can be a member of Megadeth for more than 5 minutes. As I'm sure you can imagine, a rift existed between Dave Mustaine and Kerry King for quite some time.

Forever Megadeth will always be the most METAL metal band of all time IMO. This album holds a special place in my heart.

Dave was on tour and his wife was pregnant with their son Justis around the time this was written. That life inspired some of the lyrics. btw, the video came out in early '93. I remember because I was in 9th grade and we were doing mid terms. I was on the way to school and my buddy told me to go home because midterms got postponed due to a teacher passing away. I went home, turned on MTV and this came on. It was either the world premiere or maybe the second or 3rd time they played it.

If you want theatrical you cannot go wrong with Alice Cooper, especially his live shows. Also Ghost for a modern take on the whole theatrical rock.

Charis, might I suggest Psychoton from the Countdown To Extinction album

Hey Charis, great reaction. Try... peace sells but who's buying. Its a catchy little tune. Have a great weekend!!

Oh dear, fun or funny that is the question? I’m not in the least surprised that Metallica got shut, this was like he did it while he wasn’t all there! The video was a bit of a cliche, and frankly a bit naff. Your reaction on the other hand was fun and your reference to Beetlejuice was very clever, and very apt. Great as comedy but not in terms of music 😆 The theatrical performance I would suggest is XXIst Century blood by The Warning, it received several awards for the visuals, lyrics and performance. It’s about the impact of technology on society. Very dark and interesting, and when you bear in mind the age of the songwriters and performers at the time it’s truly remarkable! For your interest the band have recently performed at the MTV VMAs and rocked the house down and toured Europe, north and south America doing their own headlining performances including the Pepsi center (who are using them in their advertising campaign).

Next from Megadeath you should do "Symphony Of Destruction "

Highly intelligent and inspiring music.

Hes a Natural Red head

Awesome song .. this channel needs a Tool playlist also

i remember Dave talking about the producer Max Norman the only problem with Max Daves own words: he dosen´t have red hair lol....oh this video NOT the 80´s but 1992

Suicidal Tendencies bending James Hetfield & Hammett over & doing them raw, 9 months later Lars has the kid and it is this. Remember, the odd is never the popular, even when the odd is normal and it is the popular that is ducked up.

So Far, So Good , So what! Listen to that album and youll learn some more Megadeth.

🤘🤘

ANGRY GINGER 😂, DAVE IS A METAL GOD!!!!

I love this song. Hello me its me agian always gets me.

Thank You ! X211

You need to do hangar 18

🤘🤘🤘💯

I think you would like the songs in helluva boss and Hazbin Hotel

what was the song you used in the intro? I know I've heard it before and it's driving me crazy lol edit: I remember where I heard it from now lol the Hydraulic Press Channel.

8:57 Look. I've been a Megadeth fan since _Peace Sells_ was a late night MTV staple. _Into the Lungs of Hell/Set the World Afire_ is great for my mood pretty much any time, and _Symphony of Destruction_ is better than JBO's parody of it ( _Symphonie der Verstopfung_ ), but it's only half as funny. So. Yes. Dave Mustaine has a great voice, but that word 'great' needs some qualifications to explain all the invisible asterisks connected to it. Like, 'Once you get used to it.' And, 'No, not in that way.' And, 'Under no circumstances, _ever,_ say the word "muppet" within earshot of the six-foot martial artist recovering addict with deeply seated anger management issues and a violently unjustified inferiority complex.' I'm on record saying, 'Hetfield's voice is metal incarnate. Mustaine's voice is he's _such_ a good guitarist.' Uncharitable, but undeniable. Mustaine's voice is great in that he's found its limits, and does all that he can with it, to most often devastating effect, he's always on pitch, his harmonies are solid, he knows what he's doing. The _emotional_ context - what he's feeling, what he wants us to feel, and what we actually feel - is always on point despite his limited instrument. It's an acquired taste, though.

listen to "SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION" Dave's voice is the same....🔥🔥

Awesome reaction!!!! My fav band. Maybe react to Go to hell. By Megadeth. Awesome video.

Check out 99 Ways to Die

Unpopular opinion. “Countdown to Extinction” is Megadeth’s best album. I would recommend you continue to check out this album. You can literally start on track 1 and play the first four leading up to “Sweating Bullets”. It’s so good

This was my first view of your channel. If you want a real theatrical performance of a heavy metal band. Go wath Iron Maiden on qny show after 2005. Songs like Paschendale. Dance of death. The trooper. The book of souls. Let us know

Ðave was originally the lead guitarist for Metallica, he was kicked of for being drunk and fights all the time. He started Megadeth to beat Metallica. When he realized he could he made his peace.

My fav Megadeth song!

love megadeth but his voice is a cheese grader on my brain not quite axl rose level but close

Hey beautiful , can you do some MANOWAR reactions ? ; )) Cheers ! : )

First!!! It is high time one reacts to The Gerbil King song (Lemmywinks)😇

Second ! Hello Me😅🎉❤

The best thing that Metallica ever released was Dave Mustaine.

It's not in the 80s.

Marty > Dave

Finally off the rush and on to.. crap.. this song.. I am not a fan of this song because it is soo dang cheesy.. and I love cheese typically. However, that being said your personality makes it all very tolerable.. lol

Watching you and the others Gen Z/Alpha generations, this country is doomed. Your kids will probably chew grass.
