  • Dave is an awsome lyrics writer ^^

    Do not compare Megadeth with Metallica, Each of these two groups has took differents ways...

    Compare John Abercrombie with Dimebag Darell if u want x)

  • love this song!! megadeths awesome.. best band ever

  • I would give you a high five for that comment, I agree

  • Dave Mustaine is christian and republican, so i don't think this is a song claiming that Bush is making a New World Order. New World Order... Eighth False King... seven years of famine, this song is about tProxy-Connection: keep-alive

    Cache-Control: max-age=0 antichrist.

  • he is not a republican, he says that he's an american

    this interview was 5yrs go tho so u cud b right

  • i dont speak good english but

    THE BEST FUCKING BAND EVER. this is not st. anger or death magnetic. THIS IS MEGADETH

  • this is not kill 'em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, ...and justice for all and black either............i like megadeth but i hate when idiots like you talk shit they don't know........

  • idiots like me... whats the mather from black album to here with metallica?¿ tell me a good album since black album. Metallica made 5 perfect albums but they didnt make nothin more. megadeth hasnt got any bad album,yes i think metallica is better band because megadeth is only mustaine. but megadeth is not in decadence. i repeat: my english is very bad but i thing that you will understand it.

  • well, i think metallica is better too but, united abobinations fuck death magnetic...

    And megadeth have also: rust in peace, peace sells, killing is my business...

  • TUUU JULAI COBEST666 SOI YO EL 2u XDDDD

  • well sorry but metallica (songs) haves enter sandman, nothing else matters, the unforgiven, Wherever I may roam, master of puppets, battery, blackened, ride the lightning, no remorse, jump in the fire, creeping death, sanitarium, orion, sad but true, harvester of sorrow, one, fade to black, for whom the bell tolls, the call of ktulu, the four horsemen, seek & destroy, and many many MANY more...

  • Do any of you guys actually get any of the lyrics that Megadeth puts out through the years? Specially this one...

    They are talking about what has happened, what is happening now, and what will happen.

    Do some research about the New World Order, ancient secret societies and the new ones. Also research about who controls this world currently. Forget about getting this info in school. Dave is telling you it in this song and in other past songs. They also have a song called New World Order.

  • Ahh, this song is so kickass! Not to mention the whole album! Dave Mustaine is a fucking genius!

  • I Love both Death Magnetic and United Abominations. Goddamn, They still got it!!!!!! d:

  • unleashed2rage... did u just speak of Death Magnetic as a Megadeth album? lol

    DM is Metallica.. but it dose kick ass =D

  • Not on the same level as Peace Sells, but still kickass :)

  • el meio solo wn D:!!!!

  • Another consistently good album by Megadeath. I am blown away by Dave's ability to produce good music. I really wish Metallica could play like they used to. Death Magnetic is a step in the right direction, but anything after St. Anger would be an improvement.

  • hahaha thats so true

  • OK but neither Death Magnetic is like Metallica as they where used to....!

  • I agree, that's why I think Megadeth is better than Metallica, and are my favorite band, they happen to produce awesome music, while still at least remembering and keeping to their roots. This album is the closest Megadeth got to their pure roots, which makes it a great one too.

  • As the guy above me said; that's so true!

  • blame parents and teachers... is THEIR FAULT!

  • one of the best megadeth songs

  • daaaam str8!!

  • i think megadeth returns to the thrash with the last album (but i think this song is more heavy )

  • The System Has Failed was pretty badass, but United Abominations is even better.

  • i detect a little bit of iron maiden's wasted years in this song

  • yes your crrect i also detected it :) im more fan o metallica tan megadeth but this is great

  • wasted years is like really popular in a lot of songs. for example, u can hear that in Nightmare by Crooked X. dosen't it sound like a news report?

  • xKillZone99 you are the FUCKING SHIT not being a jackass or a faggot im being completely serious your the BALLS

  • yeah metallica in my eyes is like shit now they used to be so sick, but now there in it for the money when did they stop making art and now start making money thats all they want so they didnt really sell out, they just did what they wanted same as the police there last show they didnt do shit no drum solo guitar solo they mailed it in BIG TIME

  • yes, wasted years was one of the first songs i learned, they are similar in on riff only, apart from that they are 2 COMPLETELY differnt songs

  • May not be stolen from Maiden(big Maiden fan here) but the 3:00+ solo part is defenitely looks Metallica (One solo).GOGOGO DAVE!

  • Dave for President!

    lol XD

  • yes, lol

  • dude, no its not, they sound nothing alike. Go your just a metallica fanboy and think ur cool by repeating that, they arnt similar.

  • You fool.have you even heard the song.....the riff is a ripoff.......

  • it DOES sound like Wasted Years...

  • their new album is very traditional, but it draws heavily from modern elements and follows a unique take on a common theme. death magnetic is just random, but at least it has some good music.

  • Metallica definately made the right choice to base dm on their older style, like lets face it, no-one was impressed with st anger :D

    Megadeth havnt made a bad album in my eyes, metallica show weakness and recently a failure to impress, megadeth keep getting better and better.

  • St Anger was bad because the band was going through a lot of tough shit. they had to see a band counselor even, and dave talked to lars for one of the sessions

  • I thought all the Death Magnetic sounds were missing sound structure and emotion. It was just their hardest attempt at making purely good riffs and hard heavy solos. They succeeded in that, failed everything else.

  • Oh corrupt Government you are so easy to see...

    Fuck the elite scum bags,

  • a wasted years ripoff if ive ever heard one,megadeth still rox tho!

  • metallica=cheesy boy band

  • raise ur fists up in the air and shout"megadeth" while listening to their songs the everlasting sound of thrash

  • buy united abominations instead of death magnetic it costs u £9 whereas fucking death magnetic costs u fucking £12 at hmv and zavvi in the united kingdom by the way megadeth's albums are much more meaningful and so thrashy

  • Now this is what you get your kids to listen to lol...SOME REAL MUSIC!YA GO MEGADETH!!!

  • Dude... 1/5. Why do you keep fucking around with the volume of this song? Ruins it.

  • What the fuck are you talking about? The volume stays the same the whole time. And the video player on the screen stays at 50%. Why don't you know what your talking about before you rate a video.

  • Lol about that buddy... up to 1:04 its okay. But, right at 1:04 at "how can there be any logic", the volume changes, on "be" and becomes louder.. If you listen to the actual studio edit, it stays the same volume. And at the end, with the final riff, he boosts it from 50 to 100% which was quite unnecessary.

  • metallica and megadeth are the shit metallica rules yup but megadeth too

  • i want to let you people know that im a metallimaniac but metallica have no more fresh ideas since the 80s maybe 90s metallica defenitly better in 80s but megadeth also have peace sells so far so good and the masterpiece rust in peace metallica and megadeth equal in the 90s but in 2000s megadeth crush my metallica thats the truth death magnetic its a good work but we can compare to united abominations musicaly beceause united is way better.

  • DM >>> UA

  • metalica are for people recovering from heart surgery, especially death magnetic, United abominations is probably the greatest gutiar album ive heard in a long time, propper rip your heart out solos. And yeah, i have bought death magetic, it sucked.

  • WHAT?!? Washington is next is genius, like what is soo smart about cyanide or any other track from dm

  • Are you kidding me? You hate Death Magnetic just because Cyanide? What the fuck are you smoking?

    Sure, Cyanide might not be the best song, but you failed to listen to the GOOD songs, such as The Judas Kiss, Suicide & Redemption, and All Nightmare Long.

  • dave and hetfield was metallica in the 80s very good riffs great solos ( thanks to kirk very good shred )good lyrics two men same ideas same vision etc, metallica 90S diferent ideas james and lars one very good musician and one mmmm good drummer without ideas only thinking about succes but not about the music but still very good metallica.

  • the only thing i don't like about Megadeth is how fucking political their songs. I don't give a fuck about Mustaine's politics, i wanna hear more creative and inventive lyrics. Otherwise, this song is cool. Great guitars and drums

  • this song is cool.. and its message is deep.

    if the music is good, and the lyrics carry a more deeper meaning than some made up crap. than that makes a good song which is what this is.

  • yes this is megadeth, Dave = god

  • Im sorry to say this But Death magnetic is better than this. (JUST MY OPINION) SHit.(im so gunna get hate comments by fucking biased bitches)

  • Yeah, you are. It has nothing to do with being biased. Metallica fucking sold out. Thats the end of that. I bet you any money, if you downloaded a Megadeth song right in front of Mustaine, he wouldn't make any comments. If you did this in front of Lars, he'd beat your face in. I mean, come on. Metallica is on The Unforgiven III. Thats how played out they are, I mean, come the fuck on. They can't even think of new songs, so they take a hit and make 3 of em. Megadeth FTW.

  • true dat

  • agree with u man especially on that unforgiven 3 thing they need to end it dammit write a new song instead of making a third version of it

  • that was good though. It really is redundant, but they could have picked worse songs to make sequels for

  • thats your opinion. i mean i love megadeth way more than metallica and i think that megadeth is better. but then again this is my opinion. everyone's entittled to their own thoughts.

    although i think united abominations is better than death magnetic.

  • Yeah im a metallica fan-boy. While Death Magnetic was okay, it wasnt great. Kind of a let down almost. But wasnt totally bad.

  • Im a 'tallica fan, but this song is straight fire from the barrel! this is what megadeth should always sound like. His voice is even tolerable here!

  • i hate ppl that bash at mustaines vocals. damn dude. hetfield is not better. they're just different. end of story

  • the riffs between the 2 songs r diffrent idiots i meen how many songs are there any way we are running out of riffs

  • lol stop whyning about the song looks like wasted years.. it is maybe kinda of the same riff but it's a totely different song..

    Megadeth owns and dave has enough insperation and he doesn't need to copie a band like iron maiden.. (not that iron maiden isn't good:p)

  • mustaine for president

  • awesome song but rofl video^^

  • it is like wasted years just faster and a bet different.

  • both maiden and megadeth fucking own. myself i prefer maiden but thats just me

    good song btw

  • I dont even see how this relates to wasted years, just enjoy the song people.

  • then your deaf listen at 0:36

  • So, your saying that one riff which he followed a scale on makes it such a big topic on how it sounds like wasted years? wow dude, like i said before just enjoy the song.

  • im not arguing but u really have to be deaf if u dont hear the wasted years riff a little. it isnt the exact riff only 3 notes are different apparantly u just lost ur hearing or u r being a dick.

  • I'm not arguing at all, I really dont see why everyone makes that such a big idea about this song. Im not deaf nor am i being a dick, obviously though i am making this topic an even more big thing, so this will be my last comment on this. Never tried to insult you

    P.S enjoy the song :D

  • cool song

  • 1:55 seconds sounds a lot like Mary Jane just a few notes added, but if you take those notes away it sounds like Mary Jane at 3:05 seconds. Thats just after the kick ass part.

  • its a good thing if the riff sounds similar to wasted years both great songs by great bands, not sure what everyone is so upset about.

    This is probably the best song by any of the old thrash bands to come out in a long time

  • Awesome song. Down with the NWO

  • excelente parcero...que poder tan hijueputa!!!

    de lo mejor de megadeth....y eso que tienen miles de canciones excelentes!!!!

  • Ha I think thats funny about the whole Wasted Years riff being ripped off. It really doesn't matter, because they did it in their own way and made it there own song. Maiden rules!!!

  • For hostel969....OBL and his ilk are hell bent on killing infidels. What should we do? Fight? or surrender? Megadeth's latest LP is about that very question....(and the complete failure of the UN of course).

  • Nor iron maidens cds.

  • Sorry to tell yo douglas dumbfuck megadeths and minutes to midnight was actually released the same date moronic fuck so they couldn't have ripped it.

    Release Date: 05/15/2007

  • United Abominations cool (H)

  • and besids iron maiden aint perfect they ripped of 2 minutes ot midnight

  • ur deaf

  • i was being biased...lol

  • 666blackened u suck

  • this song really shows what our world has become. with talks of WW3 we're all hell bent on killing eachother. who thinks that we should fight say I.

  • Wasted years is a great song

  • Megadeth rules.

    If you can't see that you're a fuckin' idiot.

  • i wish i could give u a high five

  • if you are against the new world order send me a friend request

  • Dave for president

  • 666blackened go fuck yourself, it aint a rip off of shit, u fucking flaming faggot, u put the same comment on multiple megadeth videos on here, shows what type of life u have u sad fuck.

    MEGADETH > IRON MAIDEN

  • You sir are a fucking dumbass. Maiden would own Megadeth ANY DAY. Doesn't change the fact that I fucking love BOTH bands. But seriously, if you think this is a ripoff of Wasted Years, listen to Nightmare by Crooked X. Enough said.

  • wow, how stupid are you?

    calling someone a dumbass for liking a band better than another band. what a fucking idiot.

    i truly think Megadeth is better than Iron Maiden.

  • I'm with you on this one Zone, most people probably don't even know that Mustaine used to play with Metallica.  Its just music, more rocking less talking!

    By the way, contemporary Megadeth is f'ing amazing.

  • actually its not i play gyuitar ther different notes

  • yes, it is it sounds IDENTICAL the last 3 notes are different thats it

  • its not the wasted years intro. its only similar

  • sound different than wasted years to me. I think how it harmonizes with the drum beat and chords make a difference in how the riff sounds. But even without those I don't think its exactly the same as wasted years.

  • i cant wait to see judas priest to

  • th riff at 00:56 is from judas priest's Painkiller

  • heyyy yeah!, haha it sounds very similar, but well, judas priest it's the band to look up

  • did anyone notice how it gets loud at the end when the beep sound comes on? that hurt my ears....oh well good song though

  • Yeah same here

  • go listen to something else then.. and btw, I bet you wont even live till 50 with that attitude.

  • Aye agree m8!

  • Well, come back and tell me what scale Dave uses for the intro, then I might consider your comment. Tell me exactly why it's gay. It's easy to say it's crap without justifying it.

  • This...doesn't seem all that great.

  • that first solo is of Walter Giardino from Rata Blanca, "el sueño de la gitana" (1988)

  • this is very very iron maiden inspired stuff frm megadeth...

  • why did u guys thumb down this guy, he is actually telling the truth, the intro is from "wasted years" from iron maiden

  • No it's not, it sounds simular, but it's not

    if you watch all the "Metal That Sounds Like Other Metal" videos on here, you'll notice how Metal can be very simular, without being direct ripp-off's

    I'm sure Mustaine's got enough brains, not to ripp Maiden off, but hey; I made a guitar riff some weeks ago, and when I played it in dubble tempo, it was the intro riff from "Aggressive Perfector" that I'd "ripped-off". Shit happens, and If you ask the man, you can REALLY hear that he didn't

    Cheers!

  • im not saying its a rip off..bands use other bands material to make their own

    havent u heard the quote "great musicians steal others music"?

  • Steal from one, you're a thief. Steal from many, you're doing research.

    But, really, like n1ll3r said, that kind of shit happens. If we would start bitching, though, shouldn't we point at Maiden first for "stealing" Ozzy's I don't know riff in Ghost of the Navigator? I thought not.

    There's only so many notes, so many scales, so many chords, yet so many artists.

  • yeah there are so many bands that still other bands stuff that it is just regular to happen

  • megadeth owns

  • the harmony is not the same as wasted years man , just listen carefully , it the same technique but whit a megadeth taste , this song is great and glen´s solo is great too

  • that first solo is of Walter Giardino from Rata Blanca, "el sueño de la gitana" (1988)

  • cala essa tua boca, solo de rata blanca, nada a ver......vai dormir vai...

  • Yeah, some of that was a total rip off of a great Wasted Years song. But still this song is great

  • Yea, I really like megadeth, but it's really stupid to steal riffs from other bands.

  • This is because sacales. You can't except Dave composing a wrong riff just because a Maiden's song sounds similar. And it has differences, even if you cannot see them.

  • It's not stealing, it's inspired by, and i guess iron maidens majesty is enough to survive this "copy", after all it was iron maiden who took megadeth once as a pre band, not megadeth who took maiden as a pre band, was it? ;)

  • never though of saying this about megadeth but yes the opening riffs are very similar to a latin power metal band called rata blanca and yes the riff at .36 sec its very similar to that of wasted years, i know dave mustaine is a very big fan of iron maiden but... any way megadeth is still great and very pleasant to hear

  • come on.. megadeth steals riffs from iron maiden! 0.36 the riff is same as in iron maiden's wasted years. there are several riffs stolen from wasted years at this songs. that's stupid!!

  • its similar but definatly not the same, if u are a true metal fan u would know the difference

  • aye

  • This will be what happens if the libs win a seat in presidency right now nobody deserves to be president all that are running are liberal and Mc Cain is a RINO we need someone who's like Regan was there probably won't be another like him for awhile so Washington will be next if libs get elected still there's a time for negotiation and a time for war this is a time for war and nobody knows obviously

  • dont force your idea of what you think is right let people decide for themselfs

  • wow thats the best political song ive heard in a long time

  • "Great sound?" Stop fiddling with the volume you oaf!

  • ? the volume stays the same 50%

  • Listen to it from 00:57 through to 01:02. You muct have changed it on the PC lol. Great song though, thanks for posting!

  • he has a point

  • my new fav song =)

  • Megadeth la mera verga

  • Yeah... The New World Order.. 1984 is coming hehe!

  • yep it is hehe

  • sick guitar solo!

  • My favorite of the whole CD.

  • Same here.

  • I have a doubt about the lyrics:

    "nobody could intepret"

    "no prophet could interpret"

    I was about sure that is was the second... but live mustaine says the first option...

    oh damn.. whatever

  • There Was a King - No Prophet Could Interpret

    I'm a King - Nobody Could Interpret ;D

  • Great song, I was loving Metallica more than Megadeth in old years,but I understand now that I was wrong.

  • You werent wrong, only a case where Metallica lost the inspiration and melodic beauty that fueled them for the first 5 albums. Megadeth stayed true to the principles they were built on.

  • Loving a band is never wrong, even if they suck, and Megadeth and Metallica are both awesome bands

  • I'm confused by that comment, lmao. "Loving a band is never wrong, even if they suck. Megadeth and Metallica are awesome bands..."

    I read it like that and giggled... :D

  • good for you

  • igonrant people everywhere, who cant understand anything... lmao

  • Dave > Kirk

  • HELL YES!!!

  • definately!!

  • Different ways, not the same.

  • So to finish my last comment..

    No arguing about metallica or Megadeth being better. Either agree to disagree or like both as I do.

    And no "Megadeth sucks. They make no sense!" Go listen to your pussey garth brooks you faggot ass bitches.

  • agreed!
