Megadeth - Rude Awakening - In My Darkest Hour

[thebig4bass]

OMG 3:50 .... Daves Brain EXPLODES !!!!!!!!!

[Maviedeo]

Georgous, it is exactly the same for me. I discover not so long ago the song Trust and was wondering why i didn't pay attention to this fabulous band. Now this is a band that i listen to almost every day

[vivelehardcore]

guys realy stop saying this im tired of reading that

what am i talking about? this;

omg guys stop with the metallica vs megadeth think!!

LET PEOPLE TELL WHAT THEY THINK FOR GOD SAKE

omg i wish youtube was comment less. we cant tell our opinion without being called names.. GOD!

[ATY9Productions]

wow this is AMAZING.... sounds almost identical to the studio version... I can't wait to see them at the Yankee Stadium

[Tobinator127]

I'd like to see Puff Daddy or Jay-Z or whatever shit rappers try (and fail) to write a song with this much feeling, emotion and talent....

[Milovk]

3:38 !

[lpu127]

Does anyone know what pick ups Al used in this concert? Or are they original Gibson Explorer pickups?

[blazko82]

I thing Megadeth and Metallic should record an Album together

[kadsonnick]

simply the best dvd megadeth finish

[FELCHERtheBELCHER]

Rip cliff

[10Juani]

THERE'S A BETTER PLACES FOR ME BUT IS FAR FAR AWAY!

[pwnagexe]

great song, shitty album.

[lisandroaguantlakd]

@pwnagexe Wtf?! So far, so good... so what?! is a master pieces

[woodpekkerfrommars]

@pwnagexe when I first started listening to Megadeth, this was my least favourite album (I think back then it was the recording quality of the original release that put me off). It then grew on me and has been by far my favourite album for the past 5+ years. Masterpiece.

[Tobinator127]

@pwnagexe WTF! set the world afire, Liar, 502, Mary jane, HOOK IN MOUTH!!

[hugozzv]

by cliff burton..=(

[dbstevie]

raise your face!

[ReichsrockerSS]

This song is the shit man

[jRockaX]

really*

[jRockaX]

Degrasso was the BEST drummer in Megadeth from a technical standpoint - that plus he could play great live. Gar and Nick were great too, but i raelly think if they brought Degrasso back then the band would sound way better - sorry Drover.

[weirdalyankosin]

@jRockaX IMO (and i'm a drummer) Gar was the most technical, Jimmy had the best technique and Nick had the most energy and was the most wild. I must say I do like drover though, he plays a good heavy beat, and for chuck, well he was good but average overall.

[arnometallica]

@weirdalyankosin And Shawn is the best

[weirdalyankosin]

@arnometallica I wouldn't say that, don't get me wrong i think he is a brilliant drummer, i mean sleepwalker is one of my favourite drum tracks, but, he is not the best. The thing is with megadeth is that almost every member they've ever had is amazing which means that great people are looked down upon as they are replacing people that are one of if not the best... just bad luck really

[DarrenHinesley]

R.I.P. Cliff you shall never be forgotten! R.I.P.

[Sarentor]

What is this Metallica bashing everywhere? Aren't we in the same Thrash-Family? Shouldn't we bash Hip-Hop and Rap and this commercial shit? It pisses me off. In Metallica Video, Megadeth sucks, here, Metallica sucks. Can't we just get Friends? Metallica and Megadeth did it too.

[rocafella142]

@Sarentor We shouldn't be bashing any genre of music whether it's rap, pop, country or wtfever. we should worry about our own damn genre. That's what seperated the original metalheads from the ones today. the ones back in the day only worried about their own. the ones today are too worried about bashing other genres of music that they make themselves look like douchebags

[349red4]

@Sarentor i no right hasent they the big four tour taght us anything

[FieldswordShinobi]

@Sarentor I have no problem it's just Tallica fans that bash on us man we got nothing against ya

[Sarentor]

@FieldswordShinobi

No, almost every Megadeth Video has shitty tallica bash comments too.

[FieldswordShinobi]

@Sarentor It's still stupid. I love 'em both I just really don't give a shit anymore. It's not like they really make a difference. Let people say what they want, I'm gonna get my headbang on.

[helsinginiholla]

DeGrasso back to megadeth!

[dharcoon]

@helsinginiholla yeah!! pls! back to megadeth! drover suck!

[icee562]

@helsinginiholla Yeah!! DeGrasso is way better than Shawn, but bringing Nick back would been even better :D

[sonnic1995]

they dont play the acoustic intro here? or you put the video like this

[konejo197666]

@sonnic1995 they play wake up dead and inmediatly they start with this part of the song, in the sonisphere they did the same but with head crusher/in my darkest hour

[Jcnukestar4821]

dyuuum everytime isee megadeth play in my darkest hour in the solo part he goes crazy men

proably headbanging for his brother cliff

[a2gomes]

if only cliff was alive and mustaine was part of metallica...it would fuckin rule

[JMnDC4eva]

Just for this song, Ellefson should play with his fingers and not a pick :D

[crook5090]

the trick is to go to tubifier.com to get the 256k version of this mp3.

[codeman11845]

*sigh* He wrote the music for Cliff. But the lyrics for Diana. Seriously people =P lol

[lost123456789231]

Thi's LOL! LONG LIVE MUSTA! :D

[jollikaapo123]

POandD, You Rule!!

Best videos ever!!!

[TheMexicano55]

R.I.P cliff

[heavy2oo2]

CLIFF R.I.P.

[HY2THA4TH]

Whats the odds of a guitar player getting kicked out of the what came to be know the most know metal band in history.........But still forming his own band that at atleast 2nd in the world of true roots metal from that time in music......love both bands and have seen both atleast 10x live Long live Metal!!!!

[mardemex2012]

this song is about clifford RIP

[razorslice17]

No it's not. It's about Dave's ex girlfriend.

[YekAdameRadif]

@razorslice17 FUCKING IDIOT its about Cliff

[razorslice17]

FUCKING IDIOT it's about Dave's ex girlfriend. Dave simply dedicated the song to Cliff, the lyrics have nothing to do with him.

[sonnic1995]

@razorslice17 yes, lyrics to dave exgirlfriend, music to cliff

R.I.P Cliff

[hxcmexi]

@YekAdameRadif

Musically it is. Not lyrically. dumbass

[hxcmexi]

@razorslice17

Musically its about Cliff. Lyrically its about his Ex Gf. idiot!!

[tkenny59]

4:16 epic

[macwelk]

Go on Dave!

[Wildrestorm]

Fu**ing awesome!!! I love Megadeth

It's funny to see people that says Metallica it's better than Megadeth, but still Metallica it's good. And also the drums solo in She wolf...

__________

__________D--------------

Insane XD

[brownsINtown]

this song and tornado of souls are my favorites

[yoonks9306]

look at jimmy at 4:40

fckin insane drummer. the best live version ever man.

[vindarm]

Totally agree he was the best for Megadeth.

[TheAbcd1978]

Is it me or does Al have almost no stage presention?

[vindarm]

Don't matter he doesn't miss a single note he is very awsome. And he's better then what they have now.

[TheAbcd1978]

He is very good dont get me wrong there

idk shawn drover is reallllllly good

[BurdenOfCompetence]

@TheAbcd1978 he's a studio/jazz god, not a rock one - still great regardless imo

[KVX10]

@TheAbcd1978

Not at all, in fact he has more stage presence than Broderick.

He doesn't really move but he just looks badass, brodreick looks fake on stage

[TheAbcd1978]

hes like a machine. Arnold Schwarzenegger with a guitar lol

[frindle8]

2:06 on... whats up with the hand movements Dave?

[TheAbcd1978]

its just his thing for this song, it kinda goes with what hes saying lol

Like watch holy wars and during the breakdown in the middle he does alot of hand moments too

[danyzul]

What about Gar Samuelson?.... such a killer jazz drummer....!

[Georgeous129]

i must be honest, about 3 years ago I hated Megadeth, i gave them a chance by buying this DVD, my mind has been considerably changed since

[FantasmaFunebre]

Yes. Cuz you was blinded for commercial shit like Metallica. And the fact is Megadeth is sooo much better....the best of the big four.

[rendel000]

big four?? megadeth, metallica and????

[Vash101235]

how do you not know the Big Four??? you find out, your on the internet

[WorlddestroyGuy]

@rendel000 megadeth, metallica, SLAYER and anthrax

[CaptMorgan1st]

@Georgeous129 You probably hated them because the first song you heard was sweating bullets, just like my buddy, haha.

[Georgeous129]

@CaptMorgan1st haha you'd think wouldn't ya! haha na i think the first megadeth song i heard was peace sells, don't get me wrong i liked it but at the time, considering i was 17, well maybe i was a metallica fanboy at the time, but i guess i'm living proof that anyone can be cured and i love both bands now. this along with Iced Earth in Athens (Alive in Athens) and Metallica in Seattle 1989 are my three favourite live performances

[twoo57]

@Georgeous129 Yeah same here, like two years ago. Now I'm hooked...

[nibowill]

these are good performances, great concert.. but the sound mix really sucks!

[areejpeeran08]

it's soo ironic that most of the ppl are sayin that they liked Marty the best and in real Marty didnt really like metal he was a pop fan!!!!!!

an i love Marty too he was awesome!!!!

[PrehistoricPinup]

Best live version ever

[93bass]

Dont agree. Menza was without a doubt the best. Degrasso is ok though but i dont really like his style with his typical hi- hat licks . He uses those alot, especially in the small pauses in the songs on this dvd. But Al Patrelli is awesome, much better than Chris Poland or Jeff Young. Hes close to Marty!

[Megatallica1821]

Maybe as good as Jeff, but In all honesty, Chris was one of there best guitarist they had

[Samoriah]

Jeff Young is my favorite. Him and Marty are what made the band awesome. I don't really like Al Patrelli.

[TwiGGSTicK]

same with me

[clem070605]

hmm...chris broderick is very good technically, but i still think marty is megadeth's best

[BarbequeBoys]

i say marty and chris poland are megadeth's best

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

Fuck yeah, Marty is one of the best in metal generally!!! \m/ ( '_' ) \m/

[cadavercanibal]

I agree!

[LordVicRattlehead]

Pitrelli was one of the best

[OpethToolMetallica]

Great song!

And yeah Friedman is one of my favourite guitarists.

[ariesrising1975]

Ok, Chris Broderick will kill the others technically. KILL THEM! Chris can play all of the others shit flawlessly and Dave has said that Chris is the best guitarist he has ever played with. He even went as far as saying that Chris is so good that Dave considered not playing any solo's on the new shit. So all the haters need to do some research of the musicians careers as a whole not just what they did in Megadeth. Then you will know that Chris Broderick owns. Wait and see on the new album!

[Fabio9x]

I know he does KILL technically probably all of megadeth's former guitar players. But you do have to remember that Friedman in his best years did played with Becker in Cacophony. He WAS reeeeally good. Obviously now he is into the bluesy rock stuff, which I also love, but dunno, just felt like making a point there.

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

It's not all about the technique, it's about a feel, emotions in playing, Friedman have more emotions and feel in playing, Broderick is AMAZING, but he plays like machine, with no feelings!!!

[BxT4POUTxP]

i really didn't like Glen Drover. He didn't seem to fit the band

[cliffthelightning]

yeah true ... he didnt look metal

[razorslice17]

Glen definitely didn't belong. He always tried to change the solos and they always ended up sounding like shit

[maty250395]

For me , So far so Good and Peace Sells are the best albums,, The best leads guitars are Chris poland>Friedman>Jeff>Al>Boedri­ck

[MetallThrasher]

The best MEGADETH song ...only awesome

[greg29ny]

fucken awsome

[NoSurvivorskillemall]

For best Megadeth lead guitarist

1st Friedman of course lots of feeling there

2nd Pitrelli creative very creative

3rd Poland amazing player

everyone else a little to technical, not enough feeling and only speed to many notes hardly any harmonies!!!

[MasterShoo5]

Friedman is really good, but broderick is truly impressive

[ablaaa]

Of course, they all come after Broderick. :D

[braddudeguy]

except Friedman. He is a god.

[prayerofthemantis]

yeh Friedman then Pitrelli, the others were trying to be too fast even when it didnt suit the song like washington is next! awesome song tho

For those who say broderick is best, your just going wiht the hype... he ain't even played on an album yet?! so i don't know what basis your going on.. Marty had the sound n i just hope broderick gets somewhere near but i got a feeling its going to be more of the same as united..

[thefallofideals11]

who played lead on Rust In Peace???

[NoSurvivorskillemall]

Of Course Friedman did thts wat really made the album seem

Different frm the first 3

but theyre all goo albums

[maty250395]

Marty Friedman

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

For me, this is the best song of MEGADETH, with so much emotions!!! \m/

[jm9295]

true is a great song but i have it number 3 just after holy wars and mechanix

[castiaul]

Fucking Megadeth !

Awesome !!!!

[juhaaan]

epic! rip cliff burton

[IntrepidMoocher]

The measure of any band is how well they can play live. Megadeth rocks.

[johnpetrucci2003]

the best ong of megadeth!!!!!!!!! awesome

[Petruccikakias]

god his voice sucks...

[blired90]

why did they fire DIgrasso he is not better than nick by far but he owns shawn drover.

shawn looks like a retard when he is playing

[aljones1966]

"Everlasting life for me

In a perfect world

But I gotta die first,

Please God send me on my way."!!!

\m/ Mother fuking yeah!! \m/

[LanciaTurbo]

no offence to Lomenzo, but Ellefson should be in this band.. too bad he fucked that up.

[patstar92]

agreed lol.

[TimTheInsane]

Ellefson is in the band, he's the bass player. I think you're talking about Friedman.

[jacksonKing27]

theyre talking about right not , james lomenzo is the current bass player, but alot of people feel it should be junior.

[Nunez87]

I wouldnt mind seeing Junior again, but he turned down dave's offer back then. Besides Lomenzo is a great bassist and very passionate about his playing. We'll see how he writes his bass lines next album. I like him so far.

[jacksonKing27]

yea id love to see him back, but im happy with james's playingg, he seems to love what he does,

[ferdia27]

Their best song.....Long live Megadeth...Can not wait to see them in Dublin with judas priest....

[howlingsin]

legend

[Aikonosscire]

r.i.p. Cliff.

[CruickshankEnny]

This song is incredible,and live is even better.

[wortti1]

dave is awesome songwriter, awesome player and a badass singer.

---

HE ROCKS

[jonsa3]

This was the first Megadeth show after Daves injury?

[meakmeakmeak]

no al petrelli came before daves injury, chris poland rejoined after daves injury but didnt tour with them, thats when glen drover came into the picture and after the first 2 tours for united abominations he left and chris broderick joined im going to see them with testament and judas priest in febuary, cant fucking wait

[felphero]

all pitrely playing that xplorer of his looks soo fukin cool! lol

[felphero]

yeah i know its "Al Pitrelli" dont give crap because of it

[Geologism1]

Is there anyone out there who thinks a significant portion of the song was doctored in the studios?  Dave's voice sounds overdubbed to me. I'm not saying Megadeth can't have a great night, but is there a recording engineer who can put in their two cents? This just doesn't sound like an authentic live performance to me.

[skezza]

Trust me, it was live, the mixing was very tinny. They didn't quite get the sound right.

[bararistheman]

there are slight differences in his voice between the recording and this live version. The accuracy is due to him only focusing on singing in several parts. This song is also very sensitive to dave, im pretty sure he wouldn't want to fuck it up.

[gmbde90]

That's the first time I see a whammy bar on a Mustaine's guitar...O.o

[brendanb1236]

i used back in early to mid 90's quite frequently. there is a vid on here from 94 when they playd reckoning day he used it.

[ZeroMurasame]

i think the only times he's used one was in reckoning day, holy wars, and wake up dead

[JuissiOlli]

R.I.P Cliff Burton We All Miss You So Munch That You Cant Believe

[diego553]

yes !

but marty is mi idol!yeah

and tornado of souls solo only marty can play this in your best performanse(sorry fot my bad english im argentinian :s)

[edjar10]

marty and dave are my idols boludo

[bre4dfish]

No one rips leads like mustaine, no one.

[invertedchords]

hendrix invented Ripping so a little credit to him too.

[perez88vr]

The best Megadeth' song

[diego553]

Friendman is the best!

friedman is a great tecnic guitar player!

[chronohugo]

That's not Friedman, It's Al Pitrelli. You know i think friedman is better too, his chord arpeggiating style is great, but of all other megadeth guitarists, chris poland, jeff young, glen drover, etc., i like pitrelli best as second to friedman, his solos are very creatively composed. The others focused on speed and not harmony.

[kevinbarr3]

NO

friedman is so much better.

but al is purdy rape

[GoronMan92]

MUSTAINE IS BETTER!

END OF STORY!

[vybruss]

Al is better than Friedman..

[HouseofCards86]

He did better on the Young and Poland solos anyway. Friedman's studio work is so much better though.

[holycow512]

look at Al's bend at 4:11!!!

now that is massive finger strength

and that is followed by some sick headbanging from Dave

Nice performance...lots of energy

in other words...typical Megadeth

[wayofthekilling]

sure?

[nkelement19]

This song wasn't written about Cliff. It was inspired by him. When he died, Dave wrote this song. He said in an interview that the lyrics have nothing to do with him.

[chronohugo]

right, the lyrics are about an ex of his. The music was inspired by Cliff's death, but lyrics are not. If you have a doubt search it up on wikipedia, friends. ahaha

[GoronMan92]

wikipedia isn't the most reliable source.

[chronohugo]

haha sure but it's more reliable that some metalhead geek

[dariusb23]

yeah what is? the official megadeth site? wikipedia is not tied to any person or organisation, no one owns the rights to what is said.

[VelvetKevorkian]

No, but the countless interviews where Dave says that exact same thing are pretty reliable.

[Gravemaker90]

songs about him and an old girlfriend. songs inspired by cliff's death. mustaine said that when cliff died, he grabbed his guitar, cried, and wrote the song. but lyrically its about his girlfriend. not bashing cliff in any way just saying thats what its really about.

[Gogetahan]

^^ yep it true and such a great song.

[BlackDreamGuitar]

@Gravemaker90 I think that when Mustaine wrote this song he understood that a friend is ALWAYS better than a bitch

[dharcoon]

@Gravemaker90 hahaha... I can see that you'd watch MTV's behind the music with deth's history.

[BlackDreamGuitar]

@Gravemaker90 Cliff's death made Mustaine realize that a bitch is nothing compared to a friend's death....

And that's how "In My Darkest Hour" appeared.

[wayofthekilling]

The best song for Cliff. Dave and Al Pitrelli ruleeeeeeez

[juuse94]

i think that every1 doesnt even know (or remember) that this song is made for cliff burton

[Brownedright808]

Such an awesome song and connects on all levels of society. Made glam rock take a step back and access wtf they were doing... one of the greatest songs of the late 20th century.

[warcrychief]

R.I.P. Cliff Burton he is still missed

[FistFullOfEntrails]

Can you plz put up Sweating bullets?

[dariusb23]

if you think the sound on this video is awesome thank bill kennedy (he was the engineer, he did the morbid angel "domination" album too i know)

[FistFullOfEntrails]

Morbid Angel rules.

[ChrisVrulez]

Just to let you all know David Ellefson was the best bassist megadeth ever had and ever will have

[lever525]

fuckin yeah!

[SchecterWorshipper]

Agreed

[bodomfan1]

Wasn't he the only one too though? Until James came in, I think ex BLS shouldn't be mixed with Megadeth.

[ChrisVrulez]

The only true bassist's besides Ellefson were James Lomenzo and James MacDonough

[ShadowDarkest]

esta es la mejor in my darkest hour ke eh escuchado de megadeth en un concierto,lejos!!

YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! MEGADETH!!!!!!!!!

[ussj3trunks]

I miss Jeff Young or Chris Poland :(

[GlennTipton]

Al Pitreli was great in Megadeth. But Jimmy Degrasso.. he ain't got no rhythm. He is a skilled drummer, but he's missing rhythm. Nick Menza was the best drummer in Megadeth by far.

[minihats]

What do you mean, missing rhythm? I don't see anything wrong with his playing.

As for my favourite Megadeth drummer, I'm quite partial to Gar Samuelsson, although I'm not sure why. He just has a great feel on the Peace Sells album.

[dariusb23]

what?????? this performance in terms of time keeping and hitting things on the spot is great. i really admire the feel hes got. so spot on
