  • this song isn't actually that bad

  • This is the only good song on Risk

  • 0:56 James Hetfield's voice

  • Comment removed

  • Total crap

  • I can't sleep right now :S

  • I remember first hearing this song. i used to sleep to songs i hadn't heard -this being one. the rift was soo good it woke me up and im not even kidding. Must have been 14years old and i actually got out of bed to read the track name. ironically insomnia. It has for ever been my favorite megadeath song despite the albums general low rating.

  • The difference between Metallicas shitty stuff and Megadeth's shitty stuff, is that megadeths shitty stuff still isnt that bad, while metallicas shitty stuff.....god...is just too fucking horrible to listen to.

    Shows how much more fucking amazing megadeth is.

  • Risk is a risk. Megadeth saw it coming. I wouldn't put this against Megadeth because they called it. Metallica Loaded shit and then reloaded it. St. Anger sucked too. How long did it take them to realize that they sucked?

  • @austin2460 omg St anger was sooo shit wasnt it. Yeh we get it HE CAN PLAY THE DRUMS!

  • @gregvok He can't*

  • @austin2460

    Let's face it. St. Anger was an experiment that should have never left the studio.

  • whats wrong with this album? its not the best megadeth balbum but its still cool

    prince of darknes is cool 2

    Metal 4 life

    MegadetH 4 life

  • They copied the song title Insomnia from Defiance

  • you know im a metalhead like the rest of the family below me but i actually like this album it wasn´t ¨Megadeth¨ material as we know thats why it sucked but you know it was a well made experiment on this style of hard and soft rock

  • its different from their other stuff...

    but it aint bad music

  • The best of this shit album

  • Aside from the people that come to a video of a song they don't like and comment on how much they hate it just to start an argument... I wonder how many dislikes are actually people who never heard of the song until they came here.

  • i dont really like the album. i only take out a few songs (ill be there, seven, wanderlust and of course insomnia). the rest sucks.

  • I don't what Megadeth fans say. This was a good album.

  • @thespiralgoeson no its was very good album xP

  • @BYWVMF totally agreed! loved DM, but Thirteen is fuckin MINDBLOWING!

  • Risk is Megadeth's worst album... that's not to say it's bad though. Megadeth has no bad albums. \m/

  • At least it has Prince of Darkness (: like that song, hate me if you want idc

  • Thats your point of view...doesnt mean that your right...but who's right anyway?...its all about the feeling...what you feel when you listen a song...personnaly i dont feel anything fresh or new in Insomnia so thats why i said that...i love Megadeth...I became a better guitarist and Marty friedman was a revelation for me..it was a point of view...Im not god...im not always right...

  • OMG what did they do??

    they start to dying in during cryptic writing!

  • @TheKandjar you need to learn to type before your learn to diss

  • @FieldswordShinobi English is not my first language....at least i try....useless comment anyway...we talk about Megadeth...not a random guy like me who makes mistakes in english.

  • @TheKandjar Either way, how well you speak or type English matters not, Megadeth is still more talented now, then, and in any of their other albums than anyone you know personally, so why say such a useless comment?

  • Horrible.

  • The difference between Metallica's shitty stuff and Megadeth's shitty stuff is when Megadeth made a shitty album, they realized how shitty it was and stopped making shitty music. Metallica couldn't stop

  • @wattsta07 yeah, ever since Endgame Megadeth's been sick again

  • @wattsta07 Even megadeth at it's shittiest it still comes nowhere close to metallica. Invisible kid, Invisible kid.

  • @wattsta07 gee, fuck you much? gtfo poser boy

  • @kyussfan6 what are you, 14? who uses "poser" anymore? "poser" is such a meaningless word. what a douche

  • @wattsta07 at least i respect good music. go fuckin kill yourself like kurt cobain. we dont need "metalheads" like you dissing what music is.

  • @kyussfan6 i respect good music, this is not good music. "Insomni omni omni omni omnia"? really? and anyone who is a true fan of metal will tell you anything after the black album (ill at least grant that) was garbage "Fran tick tick tick tick tock" come on now, a child could write these lyrics

  • @kyussfan6 and do you feel better now that you told me to kill myself? quit being a keyboard warrior and quit showin your "cyber cajones"

  • @wattsta07 then stop bashing Metallca and Megadeth.

  • @kyussfan6 why are u getting all bent outta shape? its an OPINION! music is subjective, which means i can give my opinion whether or not you agree with it. no1 is asking you to pay attention to me or act like an asshole in the process. and knock off the veiled threats, its so stupid. dont like what i say? ignore me. but im not gonna stop giving my opinion

  • @wattsta07 well its best to keep your opinions in your brain or else someone like me will come and getcha!

  • @kyussfan6 ROTFLMFAO! oh shit, you people trip me out! the typical "if i knew where you lived, id kick your ass" idiot.

  • @wattsta07 did i say i was gonna kick your ass??

  • @kyussfan6 veiled threats, dude. veiled threats

  • @wattsta07 you know i meant trollers, right? not ass kickers -_-

  • @kyussfan6 trollers lead the saddest existence of all. simply pathetic how they get their kicks from being parasitic losers

  • @wattsta07 you trolles Metallica when you posted this. and yes, i will speak like a 14 year old. youre a fucking poser. what are you gonna do about it huh? threaten me over the internet?

  • @kyussfan6 i didnt troll tallica, im a huge metallica fan. i simply stated that everything after the black album (except death magnetic, i liked that album) was shitty hard rock, not metal. and only dipshits like you would use the term "poser" because you have no idea what the real meaning of a poser is. and why would i threaten you? what good is it gonna do? you're wherever you are and i'm where i am. you'll still be retarded no matter what i say or what violence is inflicted upon you

  • @wattsta07 you just said that Metallica couldent stop sucking. thats a troll. stop fucking putting words in my mouth.

  • @kyussfan6 a troll is someone who says shit with the purpose of pissing people off. just because you're the only one i pissed off doesnt make me a troll. yeah, metallica sucks compared to what they used to be (although seeing them live is still one of the best shows ive ever been to) megadeth has always maintained awesomeness (second best show ive seen) i just dont know why you're getting so defensive about something you have nothing invested in

  • @wattsta07  cool story bro

  • @wattsta07 Shhhhhhhh

  • @wattsta07 thats your opinion,music is subjective

  • @wattsta07 That and Megadeths shittest isn't even all that bad.

  • @wattsta07 this isnt a shitty album but people like u are sure shitty people I dont know why people dont like this album ...

  • @Z3RK777 Mmmmm, nope. It's a shitty album. Shitty by comparison to their other stuff. Shitty by comparison to other thrash albums. Just plain shitty.

  • @wattsta07 O.o I like this album a lot, dont know why do you think this album is shit, Insomnia, Crush Em, Prince Of Darkness, Breadline, I'll Be There, Doctor Is Calling, Wanderlust, Ectasy, Seven, Time The Beginning and Time The End really AWESOME music it love then allllll, but its weird people dont like it o.o but well everyone can have their opinion, I dont really care xD I like it so ... ^^

  • @wattsta07 Are you calling this album bad?

    I think it's fucking original and amazing.

  • @JediArroN Yup, this album is bad. Maybe if it wasn't a Megadeth album it would be subpar at best, but compared to the great albums they've done, it's shit.

  • @wattsta07 Shut your fucking mouth.

  • @wattsta07

    Exactly. That's why Risk was mediocre and The World Needs A Hero was great.

    Metallica put out the self titled album and hasn't had anything to the calibur of their 80s stuff since. They just don't seem to get the picture that all the people that praised the shit out of Death Magnetic are 14 year old kids who haven't heard good metal yet.

    Don't believe me? Go to ANY Metallica video, say "Death Magnetic wasn't good", and watch all the little kids call you a "fag".

  • @justforthelulzzz

    Any musician can tell Death Magnetic was just as good as anything they did in the 80's. They even said they went back to their roots. Dumbass. I guess you're not a musician, or maybe just not a good one.

  • @wattsta07

    That's why Load and Reload destroy anything Megadeth ever created, right?

  • @FadeToPuppets yeah, because "Mama Said" and "Where the Wild Things Are" are WAY better than Holy Wars, Symphony of Destruction, Head Crusher, Mechanix, Rattlehead, Go To Hell, Reckoning Day, The Conjuring, etc... dumbass

  • @wattsta07

    Oh yeah asshole? Those are damn good songs and their record sales prove it. Anyway, how about Fuel, Memory Remains, Unforgiven 2, Aint my Bitch, Until it Sleeps, Outlaw torn, King Nothing, Wasting My Hate, Hero of the Day, Fixxxer, Devil's Dance, and Bleeding Me. I'm pretty sure the world agrees those songs are better than the ones of Megadeth you listed, and they're all off Load and Reload. You lost.

  • @FadeToPuppets Maybe as rock songs, but thrash it aint. And just because it sells well doesn't mean shit. St Anger sold a shitload and everyone can agree that was garbage. And really? You came to a Megadeth video to say that Metallica's worst shit is better than Megadeth's greatest? Obvious troll is obvious

  • @wattsta07

    Worst to you. Not to everyone else. Also, I came here to hear the only good song off Risk, (which is far worse than St Anger, at least Anger had like 5 good songs) and then I see your comment and how you came to this video to bitch because you cant handle that Metallica makes better songs than Megadave. Because genre really matters right? Metallica can make rock songs that are better than any of the thrash Megadave puts out. Load and Reload arent even Rock, they're metal.

  • @FadeToPuppets Big Four of THRASH mean anything to you? Load/Reload are hard rock at best with a few metal songs amongst them. Metallica's first 5 albums were straight up metal (people shit on Black for some unknown reason, I liked it) but from Load on up was just bad (except DM which was decent, but long winded) Megadeth stayed true to their roots. Metallica didn't. Simple as that.

  • @wattsta07

    That's why Megadave got boring. It's fucking dumb as hell to not like a record cause of the genre too. Metallica's the most thrashy band out of the Big 4 too, Slayer sucks, Anthrax sucks, and Megadave have slowed down and they play the same setlist every time. At least James and Kirk can play better than Dave too, Lars is better than Shawn and Menza, Cliff was better than Eleffson, Jason was better, Rob IS better. St Anger is god compared to risk, Loads too.

  • @FadeToPuppets Metallica WAS the most thrashy. Now they're barely even metal. Never got into Anthrax and Slayer can do no wrong (and is the most thrash of any of them) Kirk is only relavent because Dave was kicked out and they let him copy all Dave's solos. Cliff was hands down the greatest bassist ever and Jason was CRIMINALLY underutilized, but Lars aint shit against Dave Lombardo. And I don't like the later tallica not cuz of genre, but because they plain sucked.

  • @wattsta07

    Thats why Death Magnetic is more heavy than anything Megadeth has ever done, right? It sure as hell sounds better since, James can actually sing, Lars can actually drum, Kirk can actually play guitar, and Rob can actually play bass, unlike all the members of megadave.

  • @FadeToPuppets You're either the worst troll or the most ignorant metal fan in the world. Obviously, you know nothing of even what mediocre metal is and are no longer worthy of my time.

  • @wattsta07We

    Well, if facts have no time in your schedule, you're labeled as a dumb ass. =)

  • @FadeToPuppets fanboy

    

  • Wow that's terrible

  • I love this fucking song. All you bitches that said they sold out can eat dick and die. You wouldn't know good music if it kicked you in your nonexistent nuts, which this album does. Can you play any of this? Every night for as many tours as they did? And still play all the classics? No....I thought not.

  • I only listen to metal for the kick ass guitar solos! <~~~

  • this song is so boring it could almost be medicine against insomnia...

    I liked them better when they were singing about butchering people and feeling bad on black fridays and conjuring evil powers and stuff....not that Megadeth was ever serious about its lyrics (well there are exceptions) or I ever cared for, but this is just really embarrassing.

  • A true Megadeth fan would like this Album and this Song.

  • @pinguincool No, actually I don't think so. Just because you are a fan of a band's work, doesn't mean you have to like every single thing they produce... I think only someone with blind devotion would say something like that.

    I mean, I love Megadeth, and Metallica, like crazy, but I don't enjoy every single album they produced. I just don't care much for Risk, or Load/Reload. They're not gods, and they're not perfect. I think a true fan of a band should be willing to admit that.

  • MEGADETH IS THE BEST, PERIOD.

  • @Wensleydayle ''just listen to the guitar in their songs, it requires more skilled guitar playing'' You just defined yourself as one who doesn't know what good music is about. It doesn't matter how hard it is to play the damn riffs, its how good they sound. Personally I prefer Death Magnetic over Endgame (still love them both though), but thats a different story. Endgame is actually really REALLY simple in guitar standards, even though Broderick's solos are hard as hell.

  • MEGADETH ETERNAL MASTERS!!!

  • I like the original version, mix = is horrible!!!

  • cross breed from thrash and pop

  • @333Salvador333 you really want to call this pop? you dont hear something near in the raido today

  • @mankei13 thats wat megadeth was going 4. but its still fucking thrash......a tiny bit and no i dont listen 2 any FUCKING pop EVER!!!

  • I have heard every Megadeth album,but i never bothered to give a listen to Risk,guided byt the reviews that say its shit...but judging by this song and Prince of Darkness i find out its a great album!It has a more light attitude,but some of the riffs,and the solos are great,I really like this song

  • I think this may be the only song I love off of risk.

  • @TheDaveDaveDave100 omg only song? you've not heard breadline or prince of darkness if you comment that

  • DAMN MAN.. I LET THE DANDRUFF FLY WITH THIS SONG.. HAHAHAHAA

  • awesome i let the dandruff with this tune... hahahaha

  • metallica is my favourite band. believe it or not i am listening to megadeth, yeah,some guys dont know thats possible judging by the comments. and yes, metallica did sell out, and i fucking hate that, they could' ve made some fucking awesome albums instead of load and re - load. but that DOESNT mean that you can't enjoy ride the lightning and stuff like that.

  • @matija191 OMG what you like MEtallica? haha just kidding. also metallica brought me to megadeth and i am happy about it

  • wow, this band lost testicles

  • That is the only song I like from there Risk album

  • @resdsox1 prince of darkness, wanderlust, dr calling?

  • @mankei13 Nah, Risk was it my favorite Megadeth album its like the only album that I was it crazy about

  • I believe this was the beginning of the "nom, nom, nom" internet meme...had to say that...

  • this was my song on adderall

  • Risk had a couple songs on it I liked, but I do agree it was Megadeth's worst album.

    As for the Risk vs And Justice For All debate. AJFA wins hands down, one of Metallica's best albums even with the turned down Newstead bass. Though I still think Master is the best 'Tallica album. My fave 'Deth album has to be Youthanasia (gonna catch flack for that, but whatever).

  • @GenTechJ for me The World Needs a Hero is their worst. This one is actually good in my opinon( It's just different from their normal style that's all). Youthanasia sure is top notch but for me there is no heavy metal album that comes even close to Rust In Peace.

  • INSOMNEYUMNEYUMNEYUMNEYUMNIA!

  • This song = my life's story...

  • @Megadude12345 that pretty much sucks

  • @XxdatxchronicxX You don't have to tell me lol xD

  • I LOVE THIS SONG. :D

  • risk was good. end of story.

  • sound too*

    than metallica's*

    And what are you talking about? Risk was a great album!

  • I will say this album was blah but this song is pretty good.

  • holy fuck the remastered sucks

  • I love both Metallica and Megadeth, and infact a lot more metal bands too. I don't compare them or join in with these petty battles because it's childish. If you don't like Megadeth, fuck off. If you don't like Metallica, stay here... Y'know. It's pathetic...

  • megadeth's worst is still better then metallicas best

  • @michael70c10 u think this is better than AJFA?

  • @BallonkaSwe it's just my opinion, i'm not saying you have to like megadeth more then metallica...

  • @michael70c10 i like MD more than metallica but seriously... Risk vs AJFA? Risk doesnt have a shit of a chance

  • @BallonkaSwe Who the fuck though this was Better than AJFA? REALLY? This album isn't as bad as they say, but damn--better than AJFA? That's like Metallica's best record form the 80s. People might say that's a stretch, but that album is fucking sick compared to this.

  • @Darkit2099 he did

  • @michael70c10 i hold them pretty much even myself

  • MEGADETH is far superior to Metallica... Period.

  • i love the way 'insomnia' i said during the chorus...its almost arousing

  • This song gets stuck in my head all the time. And I think, why can't it be Holy Wars or Peace Sells?

  • last night i couldnt get to sleep because this song was stuck in my head

  • This is probably the only song that I prefer the original unremastered version of on this album.

  • Dave Mustaine wrote this song when he was laying in bed at 3 in the morning and couldn't sleep because he had pancakes on his mind.

  • @ThuXthetrooper okay, that was stupid.

  • Great pop-rock-metal album

  • Love this album!! :D very underrated song!!!!!!!

    a love every album of Megadeth!!!!

  • I hate Marty Friedman

  • @MrCobain94

    me too !!!!

  • @BarabaChaos93 He fucked this album

  • @MrCobain94 Listen to Speed Metal Symphony.

  • @MrCobain94 oh ok, so you hate Friedman, but Cobain is cool? Not that I have anything against Kurt or Nirvana but seriously WTF?

  • @DarkRetroFan64 My thinking was diffrent when I made this account, I love all guys from Nirvana, all Nirvana.

  • @MrCobain94 Marty is amazing composer and beast of guitar player, cobain is emo which is totally shit =/

  • @ThuXthetrooper I think you're just a dumbass. That's okay, everyobdy can be idiots.

  • why are we talking about metallica on this video? have you tryed going to there videos, im not saying there bad i just dont see the relevence of them here

  • im doing the solo

    

  • I love this album because its ]V[egadet]-[s worst album and its still good...besides this album isnt thrash metal because it wasnt meant to be...Dave Mustaine just wanted to experiment with the rock genre...he still came back to his metal roots though,listen to Endgame and MetallicA attempted to come back to their roots after...ugh...St.Anger...but death magnetics still awesome but not compared to Endgame...

    

  • in zombie ia

    in zombie ia

    in zombie ia

  • fatality!!!!

  • THEY are some special sleeps about insomnia dave :)

  • looks like dave tried to make his own chinese democracy lol

  • @1kydde2 haha rofl! xD!

    no get out

  • i love this song so much...and i know how it feels, insomnia sucks. i take pills but still wake up all time =(

  • what people don't seem to understand is that the producer and marty freidman wrote most of the album, this song rules

  • Seasons in the abyss > Rust in peace > Master of puppets, kill'em all, whateva.

  • black is not heavy ! the black album is one fucking shit !!

    Youthanasia is modern heavy metal .

    Black album not.

    And Rust in Peace kick Master of Puppets' ass

  • @alexceltic755502 LOL your so funny!!!!!!

  • Amazing!!!

  • album sucks but this is a great song

  • imagine sleeping to this song

    or trying to lol

  • Is this the album they used the Rocktron on? I was about to get one but I just don't know now lol. I liked this album but didn't make me want to listen to it more than a few times.

  • wtf is this shit? ... I WANT MEGADETH!!

  • i really like some risk's songs such as,insomnia,crush'em,wanderlus­t

    risk is not an "amazing album",but is very cool :D

  • Risk is a exellent ROCK album haters fuck off!!

  • @TheCore1994 like Load and Reload

  • @DinZg4ever maybe...

  • is this original or remaster?

  • @Cyvil remaster the original is better.

  • Still a better record than metallicas load AND reload combined

  • @J03SA oh dont start...

  • @LeftosDoussis do you say that in a good way or bad way? :P but honestly, spare a few songs, load and reload werent that good. and i actually BOUGHT reload. still King Nothing was a killer track.

  • @J03SA in a bad way. im sick of people dissing load and reload. they re not bad, they re DIFFERENT. so its not 100% thrash, big deal. load and reload have some very mature songs and metallica showed they themselves had matured. its people like you who say its shit that are responsible for st. anger. its tallica's way of saying "you want thrash? here bitches" and the result was that... noise. so then "oh you dont like that either huh? so STFU. its our band we make the music."

  • @LeftosDoussis load and reload are still better than any crap that plays on the radio (and st anger LOL). im just saying, that risk was even better than those two :) load and reload both have great songs like king nothing, aint my bitch, until it sleeps, the memory remains and such. and ASIDE from that risk is better. + its personal opinion. btw i mustve been 10 or something at the turn of the century, so NO im not responisble for metallicas descision to make st anger T_T.

  • @J03SA lol point taken. and yes risk is definitely better than load and reload. but as i said metallica have an astonishing variation in their style.

    kill em all: speed/thrash metal

    ride: heavy/thrash metal

    master: full-on thrash metal

    justice: darker thrash metal

    black: modern heavy metal

    load & reload: hard rock

    anger: alternative metal

    magnetic: speed of old days + heavy characteristics

    how do they change style from album to album? theyre so fucking amazing!

  • @LeftosDoussis tbh,,,youve got a damn good point :P and when you look at it that way it makes sense. anger wasnt bad, just wish lars didnt disengage his snare :/ sounded like a trash can. but yeah again, i agree with what you just said xD

    +they are fucking amazing, esp compared to the stuff on the radio nowdays

  • @LeftosDoussis ...metalica has bin dead a long while now...load was nice...but i believe reload was them just trying extend the load albem and exploit it for all they could...st anger was also a good albem to me....now, i dont really care about metalica so lets just try and keep the megadeth comments about...oh i dont know....MEGADETH...thanks for listening........>_>

  • this is what it would sound like if Dave Mustaine was in the place of Rob Zombie...

  • this album is not bad, but their other stuff is way better :D

  • People need to stop bi
