Is Megadeth's, "Symphony Of Destruction" the best song Dave Mustaine will ever write? Megadeth's new record, "The Sick, The Dying And The Dead" is coming out this spring....so we'll find out. In this video I'll break down the music theory behind Symphony Of Destruction and address Kiko Loureiro's recent statement about Dave Mustaine not knowing any music theory at all. I disagree with Kiko....I suspect Dave understands what he's doing very well, he just doesn't have any formal training. Similar to James Hetfield of Metallica. They've both written so many songs at this point, they deserve an honorary doctorate in song writing muhahaha. Now, who's better Megadeth or Metallica?

When you've been playing as long as someone like Dave Mustain has, you can't help but pick up some theory along the way. Knowledge of how specific chords work together for example, or, how certain scales fit with certain chord progressions. Even if you don't want to learn theory, it can't be avoided.

@joaovalenteaguiar1361 2 года назад

The question is as following: knowing music theory is very important, of course, but doesn't write songs in itself. So, that is why Dave Mustaine's musical and songwriting contributions to the development of the genre largely supersedes Kiko. Kiko is a great guitarist, is talented and he shredds as fuck, but apart from Conquer or die and a few Angra songs, his legacy to metal is much smaller than Dave's. All this to conclude that the nerd (in music theory) does not necessarily brings more creative output than a self-taught musician. I am not downgrading Kiko's hability but just using him as an example to show that formal training does not equate automativally with best achievements in the songwriting process, most notably when we speak about rock and metal.

Yeah, I remember freaking-out on that song when the CD came-out and it became real popular, real quick with even radio runs (Montréal and Québec), but about 1 month later, I preferred ''Addicted to Chaos'', which is more complex and pretty much the peak of Dave Mustaine's snarly voice.

It’s popular because: - It’s good - It’s popular And yes, the second point there is intentional. It is the whole reason “influencers” are a thing. And they are not a new thing. The right person likes something at the right time and has the right crowd paying attention and it can go viral. People tend to like things that other people like. None of this meant to take anything away from the phenomenal talent of Mustsine. But it does explain Metallica a bit more.

First Megadeth song I ever heard was In My Darkest Hour. It was at that point when I understood Megadeth was better than Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament combined.

@lokitus 2 года назад

Testament can be pretty complex, but yeah, Megadeth >> Testament

What about Overkill? They are as prolific as Megadeth. And Anthrax gets better with age.

@dr.kennethspeers8014 2 года назад

Seems like Kiko would know. I'm pretty sure Dave himself has admitted to really only understanding simple pentatonic box stuff. You can be a brilliant writer and not know a lick about theory. Its about having a good ear, and fucking around enough to find interesting sounds. At least thats how I interpret it having done years of writing without theory, and then learning theory later on.

@ObsidianLife 2 года назад

Cool vid… I wish people (in general, not meaning you per se) would recognize that Music doesn’t come from theory, theory comes from music. Music theory is just a faster way to understand how to get to the sound you want. Knowing that a minor third tends to sound “sadder” or that it’s easy to compose around fourths and fifths isn’t something that’s hard to understand intuitively and repeat. If you understand Theory then you can understand that within your first few weeks of playing guitar… If you don’t it’s just gonna take you longer to figure it out. I think Kiko is right that Mustaine doesn’t know about Chord construction and modes, but that does mean he can’t alter basic rock chords like he did in Holy Wars or solo in Phrygian… Also, my vote for one of the best Megadeth songs that’s super underrated is “My last words/Next Victim” (the original title). I definitely think that’s one of the best songs Megadeth has done…

@crescendo5594 2 года назад

Symphony of Destruction is by far their best tune, imo. It’s a great, melodic tune that deserves the popularity. I don’t have anything against Megadeth, but I was never that crazy about their music outside of this tune. Did have the pleasure of seeing them live once, and they sound great live. Definitely sets them apart from a lot of other groups.

One thing about Megadeath their music is always stayed consistent in sound. I can’t say the same for Metallica. At one time Metallica was my favorite band but as time went on I grew to enjoy Megadeath much more.

You can say that Dave didn’t learn theory is the reason he was able to think out of the box. Many times people who are too stuck on theory are not that great of a composers in metal. Chris Broderick for instance

Brian Wilson had no musical training but even Classical composers Revere him greatly. Genius can't be explained. Either you are or you aren't.

This is one of my favorite songs by Megadeth to play !! Simply because it's so fun to just jam on live !! Dave may not have formal theory training but he definitely has a firm grasp on writing songs using his ear & experience that make it all work perfectly !!!
