Toxik - 47 Seconds Of Sanity/Count Your Blessings

[MetallumSecrets]

Pure goosebumps

[JeffWithAnF]

His voice definitely takes some time to get used to but an awesome album nonetheless.

And yea the part around 0:51 sounds like The Call Of Ktulu which I still can't play, lol.

[ElvisBluntman777]

Epic fucking track though... criminally underrated band. This song is a Thrash masterpiece without a doubt.

[ElvisBluntman777]

even Nuclear Assault has the Mustaine arpeggio tune on one of their tracks..

[KillerRat666]

PUTA MADRE this is awesome!!

[420kushblunt]

Josh Christian destroys!

[Megathrax84]

Thought this was just a great form of real metal.

[MrGamotinpaok]

this is REALprog metal

[masterofmetallica09]

@MrGamotinpaok Watchtower etc. are real Progmetal. This is real Progressive/Technical Thrash Metal!

[ADeadHeaDz]

I would hardly call 0:34 sanity.

[Bobslayer75]

Provavelmente a melhora faixa do disco, animal! Solos extraordinários!

[Ryogaboyzo10000]

Thrash metal hell fucking yeahhh

[T3HM3T4L]

Everyone here who talks about rip-off and such, I dare you to listen to

Heathen - Heathen's Song

Cyclone Temple - I Hate Therefor I Am

Just the intro's will do...

[ShreddinThrash]

@T3HM3T4L haha i was gonna bring up heathens song :P. its just the first chord though, the rest of the riffs are different. But what do you expect. It sounds fucking awesome. I doubt the bands heard eachother(these bists in the songs) back then so whats stopping them from copying.

[T3HM3T4L]

@ShreddinThrash I know, but I just found it funny, I was listening to the songs and all of a sudden "Wait, wasn't that the same one?" O-o

[OxidadoEnPaz]

@T3HM3T4L Indeed, I have heard that riff in many songs.

1. Toxik - 47 Seconds Of Sanity/Count Your Blessings

2. Metallica - The Call of Ktulu

3. Heathen - Heathen's Song

4. Cyclone Temple - I Hate Therefore I Am

5. and what about the "inventor" of that riff, Mustaine --> Megadeth - When

[T3HM3T4L]

@OxidadoEnPaz As much as I like Dave Mustaine, I don't believe he's capable of bending space and time just yet. When is off The World Needs A Hero, which came out in 2001 while all the other songs came out in the 80's if I'm not mistaken. Also, could you tell me where you can hear that riff in When? I never noticed it :D

[OxidadoEnPaz]

@T3HM3T4L well, Mustaine claims to had written that riff back in the years when he was in Metallica. If you see the credits for "The call of Ktulu", you would find Mustaine's name. He composed "When" with that riff intentionally... of course that's a long after all these songs. You can hear that riff in "When" at the beginning of the song, but it is much slower than all of these versions.

[T3HM3T4L]

@OxidadoEnPaz Right, that intro! It's been so long since I've listenend to When decently XD Yeah, I know dave wrote that intro to The Call Of Ktulu, because you referenced it in such a way I just now thought you were talking about Hangar 18 and how Dave used that same thing there as well.

[jumpfart666]

JOSH CHRISTIAN IS GODDDDLLLYYY!!!!!!!!!!

[strangersound]

Everybody gets into these "they ripped off so and so" debates, but the truth is back in the day the whole scene was working COLLECTIVELY to take the music to a higher level. Each band took everything the bands before did and built on it. And everybody was always looking for the next level...the bands, the fans...the scene used to have unity into it splintered into the typical genre division and such. :)

[urbexxx77]

Great Record and a great Ed Repka Cover!!!

[Passion4Thrashin]

What a band, these guys write masterpieces. I wish I could write riffs like this. Toxik is so complex and beautiful, yet brutal and true.

[MrAug2694]

Epic bad ass!!!!! IT sucks that it is very underrated :(

[eliot1006]

OMFG!

[razieltwiggy]

This songs just got an arpeggio in common, who goes ups and down two times, How could you think that is a rip off? I really like both songs, and the controversy here is senseless.

[SuperRockinMuffin10]

@razieltwiggy I'm with you on that.

[masterofmetallica09]

haha lol this metallica toxik comparison is funny. Josh Christian is like 5000 times more superior to Kirk. I think Kirks head will blow into pieces when he'd hear this guitar.

[metalisbetter1o00]

I've watched this video at least 10 times now. This song rules

[ADeadHeaDz]

It's kind of weird how that riff comes up in so many songs. I don't really think anyone stole it, but this, Call of Ktulu, Heathen Song. Eh.

[urbexxx77]

Absolutely great stuff!!!

[GRILLBUOY101]

great acoustic playing! see yngwie for that

[ForneusDdr]

FUCKKKK !!! \m/

[TheGuerrillaWarfare]

This song is so badass that it gives me chills!

[corpsepiler]

Omfg, best intro ever...i think my ears just jizzed.

[gokux2006]

0:49 THE CALL OF KTULU!

[megadethendgame]

it doesn't sound like it

[BBFOXHOUND]

true thrash , good thing i have this album

[Megathrax84]

you guys make sure to rate all these kick ass metal videos!

[spxcmiler]

this obliterates the call of ktulu!

[GrowlMaster666]

Hah , you're rihgt , the firts part of the song is very similar to the Call of Ktulu ;]

[J05HDA]

@spxcmiler yeah, like, totally! opinions!

[Sanotaru92]

@spxcmiler Chutlhu is Fiction.... World Circus is Real...

[MetalMilitia0101]

It's also the same melody as Heathen's "Heathen's Song"

[petewentzisafaggot]

this was released before heathen's song. in other words heathen ripped off toxik whom ripped off metallica. they're all good bands though (except new metallica).

[Kaenanthebarbarian]

@petewentzisafaggot

whom ripped off flotsam and jetsam, whom ripped off motley cure, LOL.

[GaaraEvil]

@petewentzisafaggot I can't hear any sign of influence from Metallica in ANY of their songs.

[Clamfyre]

@petewentzisafaggot They ripped off Metallica because it's thrash metal? Because it's progressive? That's not really a ripoff. If you want to think of it like that, Metallica was a ripoff of punk and heavy metal bands. I'm pretty sure Metallica wasn't the first thrash metal band either.

[ThatThrashKid]

@Clamfyre Then who was?

[Clamfyre]

@ThatThrashKid Well, the influences of thrash can be heard in stuff from the late 70s like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, but the first true mainstream thrash band was probably Venom, which cam two years before Metallica even formed.

[Bordichimaera]

@Clamfyre Venom really had alot of firsts :p

[ironmaiden0510]

@Clamfyre Youre right sir, people says its overkil and/or metal church! And this song is a masterpiece!

[agent012]

so..im guessing its called 47 seconds of sanity because of the 47 sec acoustic?....epic! =D thrash till death!!

[MisterMacbell]

@agent012 Thanks capitan obvious.

[CristopherBecker]

@agent012 Epic???? this isn't power metal, poser

[MrOvipare]

@CristopherBecker Yeah, act like you didn't knew "epic" was a popular expression for describing the grandiosity of someting (or whatever your definition is).

[CristopherBecker]

@MrOvipare gay expression

[MrOvipare]

@CristopherBecker How sad. That much homoerostism in such a small word must be painful and heartbreaking for you to have to read it on the internet. Don't give up!

[MrOvipare]

@CristopherBecker Also, calling somebody a poser does not make you a non-poser. How old are you anyway?

[xxxsfu420xxx]

0:50 the riff from Metallica's "Call of Ktulu" is starting

[alreadytaken4536]

Call of Ktulu?

[coua78]

ja call of ktulu is shit compared to this

[alreadytaken4536]

Why'd I get a thumbs down? ThrashHard sent me this in a message and said "what does this sound like".

And yeah. Call of Ktulu is the same two phrases back and forth for fucking 9 minutes; with a few exceptions.

[Thrasher502]

thank god someone is making sense around here

[super7fanboy]

everybody knows about how this sounds alike so relax and enjoy the song.

[alreadytaken4536]

"ThrashHard sent me this in a message and said "what does this sound like"."

[lessonsandtears]

bloody epic
