Why Megadeth keep ignoring them?

Megadeth has always been a band which tries to find a balance at their live concerts, play both most popular tunes, such as Symphony of Destruction, Peace Sells and A Tout le Monde, while still managing to play at least some tracks from their newest albums live. And yet with more than 170 songs in Megadeth catalogue, there are still quite a bunch of songs that the Metal legends have never played live, and if in case of some of them it's pretty understandable, others remain a hidden gem of the Megadeth catalog… so let's take a look at all of them!

We will discuss the songs Megadeth never played or rarely played from each of their albums, starting with Killing is My Business... and Business is Good! and up until The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead!, talking about the songs The Blackest Crow and The Conjuring, and songs from Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings and Dystopia that the band has never performed on stage, counting them all.

And which song out of the ones Megadeth never played live do you think the band should perform some time soon?

00:00 - Intro
00:31 - The journey begins
02:11 - Black magic
04:42 - More classics
08:43 - First conclusions
10:22 - Pattern changes
13:33 - Well, that's awkward
17:24 - The crow's flight
20:04 - The newest history
22:58 - Total

    Have you ever seen Megadeth live? And do you plan to see the band on the upcoming 2024 tour?
  • @tinytim71301
    “Washington is Next” is Phenomenal and would love to see it played live.
  • Good Mourning/Black Friday is probably my favorite Megadeth song and it's sad that they hardly played that song live.
  • @yobgodababua1862
    Damn, I'm shocked that 502 has shown up so few times live. It's such a good track. Into the lungs of hell is also excellent.
  • @MrKSGrundy
    As much as I love all the Maiden and Priest videos, it's great to have these videos about other bands. I've seen Megadeth 5 times. They never disappoint. Dave sounded great on the last tour.
  • 5 Megadeth songs that would be fun to hear live: Crush'em. Ashes In Your Mouth Vortex Addicted to Chaos Never Walk Alone...A Call To Arms
  • Looking Down the Cross; My Last Words; Mary Jane; Five Magics; This Was My Life; Addicted to Chaos (it's one of the most underrated tracks ever); Wanderlust; Disconnect; Tears in a Vial; The Hardest Part of Letting Go;...
  • @troycleek7394
    I met Dave at Frugal McDougal liquor store in Nashville, Tn. A really friendly and gracious person, also with a sense of humor. Glad to see some Megadeth content. I saw them open for Dio for the first time in 80s. Hellyeah!!!
  • @jude-fr4431
    I'd love to hear "i thought i knew it all" live
  • @ryj44
    Believe I saw an interview recently where Dave says “If I can still sing it, we try to play it” Feel for the guy, even playing in D standard and singing gets tough depending on the track. I’m grateful we still have Megadeth at all.
  • @CualaLompor
    Megadeth have just started performing the title track to The Sick, the Dying, and the Dead at their recent shows.
  • @Nickster_28
    I agree that Dave Mustaine and Megadeth should definitely perform "Into the Lungs of Hell" as an intro for their live shows!
  • @heathens3098
    I know that song is way out of Dave's current vocal range, but I would really like to see Foreclosure of a Dream live
  • @MrJoeandJenn
    Five Magics is still one of my favorite songs, period...
  • @MarcosKtulu
    Oh nice surprise, a video not about iron maiden or Judas priest. You have a point with Megadeth live wise, so little diversity.
  • @paulwellnitz5798
    Guns Drugs and Money was played in Milwaukee during the 13 tour...I was there.
  • @wildcalcats
    Yes i have seen Megadeth 3 times in the last 24 months with the last time being in Louisville Kentucky at Louder Than Life and yes i will see them on their upcoming tour again. As a matter of fact i will not miss another show of theirs within a 300 mile radius of my home. Dave broke out the ole “Hook In Mouth”tune that he hadn’t played live in over 10 years. What a treat that was. I have a pretty bangin video of it on my youtube channel if you’re ever bored and wanna check it out.
  • @chrisconny2285
    Dave doing a "Solo" album is kind of an oxymoron 🤘😎🤘🍻
  • @m00k61
    Psychotron and Captive Honor are 2 of my favorite Megadeth tracks.
