00:00Alexa, play Megadeth, Ride the Lightning.
00:07Playing Ride the Lightning by Metallica on Amazon Music.
00:11Jesus Christ.
00:12Alexa, Alexa, stop.
00:15Here we go, Megadeth, Ride the Lightning.
00:27I like how the bass is hitting on that.
00:30Definitely a faster tempo.
00:37Just by a hair.
00:43I love that breakdown right there.
00:48Verse 1.
00:49What do y'all think?
01:02What do y'all think?
01:16Let me know in the comments.
01:18Someone was saying he's using auto-tunes.
01:26I don't hear that.
01:28Is he?
01:29Let me know.
01:29I'm liking it.
01:48As before my eyes.
01:51Now it's time to die.
01:57Burning in my brain.
02:00I feel the way.
02:05So heavy.
02:07This is the first time hearing it loud.
02:14We listened to it last night quickly.
02:28That scream.
02:28I hope that's Lars.
02:32That would be incredible if that was actually Lars screaming, like on the original.
02:39One of my favorite riffs right here, in general.
02:42Loved.
02:51Such a tough riff.
03:05Kept it OG.
03:06Kept it original.
03:07Original.
03:07Kept it OG.
03:07Kept it original.
03:08Kept it OG.
03:09Kept it OG.
03:11Kept it OG.
03:12Definitely added some Mustaine seasoning, right here.
03:31Incredible.
03:36This part.
03:51Woo!
03:52Cooking!
03:55Look at this part.
04:02Incredible, man.
04:03Salute to Kirk Hammett.
04:06It's crazy how the tables have turned.
04:11Now Dave is playing a Kirk piece right here, right?
04:16I think it's awesome.
04:23The ultimate olive branch this song is, I think.
04:30And they definitely sped it up after the solo, 100%.
04:35It's a lot faster now.
04:37Drums are insane, man.
04:44Now the original, this part, the sound is so crazy on that part.
04:50Which is missing on this?
04:51The way it's mixed and the effect they added on there?
05:00We got verse three coming in.
05:01Bang.
05:02Bang.
05:03Bang.
05:04Bang.
05:05Bang.
05:06Bang.
05:07Bang.
05:08Bang.
05:09Bang.
05:10Bang.
05:11Bang.
05:12Bang.
05:13Bang.
05:14Bang.
05:15Bang.
05:16Bang.
05:18Bang.
05:19I can't wait until I see
05:21How true is this
05:24Just get over with
05:25Invest in should we just let it be
05:28Take it by a real dream
05:31Scream from this frightening dream
05:33The last before my eyes
05:37Now it's time to die
05:44Burning in my brain
05:47I just feel
05:49I'm really diggin'.
05:54I mean is it better than the original? No.
05:58But they did a great job.
06:02And I absolutely love that he did not change Kirk's solo.
06:07He just made a statement recently saying that he wants there to be a Metallica Megulet tour.
06:13And him showing respect to Kirk
06:15actually playing his solo, his rendition of it.
06:20It's a great start of making that happen in the future.
06:25Alexa, stop.
06:26And I wish they added that effect at the end on that last note.
06:31How they did on the original.
06:32Just because that reverb echoing at the end of the song is just so incredible.
06:40My dog's going crazy.
06:41Always adopt dogs too, by the way.
06:45Let's put a positive message out there.
06:47This dog I adopted is out of her mind.
06:49But you know, especially right now, it's very cold out.
06:52We're about to get a winter storm.
06:53So let's adopt.
06:55Very important.
06:56Adopt cats too.
06:57A lot of cats need homes too.
06:59But getting back to the music.
07:01We did a reaction last night on my cell phone.
07:04I was listening to it because I was so excited.
07:06It was midnight.
07:07I'm a dad.
07:08It's a school night though.
07:09I can't blast the music.
07:10Now I can.
07:11So you know, these kids are getting up, getting ready.
07:13And now I can listen to it loud.
07:15So if you want to hear my original first time hearing it, reaction review in depth.
07:21I stop.
07:22I'm going through it.
07:23I'm picking it apart.
07:24I'll put a box somewhere on the screen.
07:26There'll be a box.
07:27Definitely check it out.
07:28Or a link pinned in the chat or in the comments or in the description.
07:31But the new album is out now.
07:34And I have not listened to it.
07:36I did also give my take on all the songs that I did hear, all the singles.
07:41But if you guys want me to actually go through the whole album, I will just let me know that in the comments.
07:46Anything you guys want, I'm going to do my best to react to it.
07:49But as far as my expectations on Ride the Lightning by Megadeth, Dave Mustaine, it exceeded my expectations to another level.
08:01I thought that Dave was going to really make it different at times during the solo.
08:08I knew he was going to keep the same structure.
08:10You would have to be a madman to change the actual structure of the song.
08:15But the actual solo, and I'm madman in a bad way.
08:19Dave is an effing madman in an amazing way, right?
08:23But I was a little bit concerned that he was going to switch up the solo.
08:27Because I was listening to Ride the Lightning all week.
08:30And I'm like, why would he change the solo?
08:34The solo is perfect.
08:37It's a masterpiece.
08:38If he changes it, there may be a real negative reaction to it.
08:43So I'm glad he didn't do that.
08:45I'm glad he kept it OG.
08:47And as I said, sprinkled and seasoned it up Mustaine style.
08:51You know what I mean?
08:52But yeah, man, two thumbs ups.
08:55I'm going to give it a 10 as far as, you know, what he did as far as the cover.
09:01Of course, I love the original more.
09:03And cover is a weird thing to say because he co-wrote the song.
09:07So like, we'll scratch that.
09:08His take on Ride the Lightning, we'll say that.
09:11I thought the vocals were fine.
09:13I've had people on the live saying that he's using auto tunes.
09:17I didn't really hear that.
09:19It sounded like there was like a flange kind of effect to it.
09:23But I don't, I'm not listening to it and thinking like auto tunes T-Pain.
09:27So like, I'm fine with it.
09:29Let me know your thoughts so I can't wait to read them.
09:32And be safe out there.
09:33We're supposed to get a lot of snow.
09:34You may be watching this and it already happened.
09:36You may be watching this five years from now.
09:37Let me know what your thoughts are on the album and this Ride the Lightning version from
09:43Mr. Dave Mustaine.
09:47Watch more.
09:48Yeah.
09:48And subscribe.
09:49Why not?
09:50And bong, bong.
09:51Thank you, y'all.
09:53See you soon.
