I agree. Dave, Junior, Marty, and Nick was indeed the golden age for Megadeth. Shit, those four made Rust In Peace, their best album IMO. But you have to admit, this lineup in 2020 is pretty damn good. Kiko and Dirk fit right in. MEGADETH FOREVER!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I think the killing and peace sells era is amazing as well. But I did the exact thing with the guitars! Got the Jackson V. Marty and Dave just look so signature on stage with those Jacksons
I think the question is what's wrong with everyone else's hand? Clearly Marty is playing the right way and all the rest of us are playing wrong. Marty is legendary.
RIP Nick Menza. A giant personality behind the kit... The black 'MEGADETH' guitar that became the silver guitar on Countdown. I remember when that was auctioned off... If only I had 30 grand.
Nick recorded my band back in 2010 at his house in his home studio I think in Burbank.., his son was literally crawling on the mixing desk lol it was a real chill guy. I spent about an hour in his drum room which didn't even have any kids set up they were all in different massive drawers. I think I counted just under 50 full drum kits. I was one of half a million people that told him that rest in peace made me want to start playing. It was definitely not the first time he had heard it. I was playing bass on that recording for that band. We never released it. We did that a lot
Marshall stacks with a Marshall preamp rack unit and old Jackson guitars (pre fender) is the tone. I can't tell if Dave is using a Duncan jb or stock Jackson pickup in the bridge but he does have a bill lawrence l500xl in the neck
I was there Birmingham N.E.C arena UK it was Clash of the Titans Tour,absolutely Outstanding show Megadeth / Slayer / Anthrax / Testament / Suicidal Tendencies damn the decades just fly I was only 21 I'm now 49 year's old Metalhead to the grave Bang your head til it bleeds Rattlehead! 🤔 🤙👍🤘☺
JohnnyV Val what? Hahaahaha just go fuck your self everyone is seeing the monster ellefson was and comenting, i mention it in a funny way but theres always that virgin guy like you
I was at this gig as a mullet haired 10 year old Brummie with my brother and my old man and it really was an awesome night with chairs and all sorts being thrown into the mosh pit.
I was there as a 13 year old. My mum took me and we were at the back of the mosh pit. Don't remember any chairs being thrown. This was the NEC right? How many nights did they play there? Alice in Chains were support.
Darn! I thought Jr was gonna start playing "Dawn Patrol" 3:11. I wish they played it more often live. It would sound perfect as an intro to tornado of souls or polaris.
I caught them on tour in the late 80s. For one song Dave played a chrome Flying V. It was dark in a fairly small venue and they put a spotlight on Dave and the light reflected off the chome guitar like a spotlight itself, the reflected beam of light shining every which way as the guitar moved as he played the song. Great experience for my teenage self.
Just realised it was the Apollo gig I went to, with Alice In Chains supporting - thought it was the same leg of that tour, sorry. So we were both there lol. Cheers
I love Dave’s rhythm tone very tight and crunchy. Stock Marshall with a bogner preamp rack unit and Jackson king v with a stock Jackson pickup I believe
AWESOME video!!!! Dude the audio from that camera is WAAAAY better than most of todays consumer cams. The stereo separation is unbelievable. Thanx for this post. shotgunn
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW LOVE YOU GUYS TILL THE END OF TIME!!!!! Just magnificent musicians that are so down to earth.........or.........if they weren't then they sure are now.......SUPERB!
1, nick will not re join. Dave doesn't want him. It's not personal. Dave is all business. He does not want to base megadeth off nostalgia. He's been an unstoppable kinetic force since the second he got on that bus in NYC. he will never go backwards. Any rumors of nick or Marty ever re joining are just rumors to generate publicity. 2, gar was megadeths best drummer
It is amazing what people on the internet can provide for one another. Which makes me wonder what happened to all the old posts Megadeth did back in 1997 on their official website.
This guys were my familly back to the 90s...music was everything for me , music saved my life when i was teenager , this guys saved my fuckin life , Megadeth and Metallica , the fondations of thrash métal , the triple M. Beautiful letter
Is increíble fun what exist in thqt moments fr all those guys my nick neza RIP marty, david and dave never will be the same without this music . i love it the best edges 1980 to 1990
Filip Osmól I'd say "I'm afraid, so", but then I'm not afraid to disappoint you. There isn't a mythical place called Heaven, or Hell, dude. Nick will pick up a body; probably already has. It's like riding a bike. It's as familiar as changing socks.
simon pigg Who do I think, or who do I KNOW? LOL. You're free to believe what you want. When you drop that body you have.....at that very moment, you'll remember my words. Stay out of the light and get your bearings. You'll see. There is no "peaceful place" where all relatives meet and there are angels flying around and shit. Doesn't work that way. I wish I had better news for you, but you simply do it all over again.
These guys are the reason why i bought jackson guitars. this lineup is the golden age of megadeth
Chris Poland put MEGADEATH on the map as musical juggernauts not ur average thrash band.
But I love all of Dave's lead guitarists over the years
I agree. Dave, Junior, Marty, and Nick was indeed the golden age for Megadeth. Shit, those four made Rust In Peace, their best album IMO. But you have to admit, this lineup in 2020 is pretty damn good. Kiko and Dirk fit right in. MEGADETH FOREVER!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Same goes to me 👍

Firedman plays so fucking well you can't never say when is he improvising or playing a real song...fuck!
Like all Masters, he makes it look easy!
Did you just make a sneaky joke with his name or is it just mispelling?
@@javiergutierrez4733 LMAO it was misspell but I see why you'd think otherwise
@@Peashant2142 bro tf 12 year old comment yet you still replied hahhaahha
@@clavicol6875 damn!
I love Nick's drum kit sound. So much punch. RIP :'(
Drum kit is nice and all, but those sweet sounds are probably mostly derived from his killer playing.
Phenomenal drummer!!
@@jonatanhedlin3992He’s a jazz drummer, it mixes in perfectly
That's the way drums should sound great drummer miss Nick
David Ellefson: Don't mind me, just casually tapping
He was actually playing the little solo from "take no prisoners"
Q
This aged very well
THE LINE UP!!!
+Shinra Kazuya it really is the best lineup but lets see what the new guitarist has to bring to the table hes pretty good
Hell YES!!!
Yep... probably the best, although the current line up is up there too.
@@90lxfox3 kiko is a beast, listen those hybrid picking
2:11-2:15 - these few seconds show Marty's real genius. He is a natural born lead guitarist.
God, I love the bassline in Lucretia. It's like a complete song of it's own. Ellefson
Wow that Marty's lick at 2:12 is genius.
Same thought here.
Still the best line up, best chemistry, best period.
david ellefson is underrated.
+The Chratheostic he's one of the best bassists of all times!
+Julien Verveer he always does sound great and he's mixed properly on the albums (unlike bassists from some other bands ;))
+vibonacci And he makes it a much easier job due to how evenly he plays
fuck is this comment how long ago i first watched this video? shit i'm getting old.
ELLEFSON IS GOD!!!!
3:30 Turn Down for What-Nick Menza
Underatted comment
3:48 The greatest guitar tone of all time.
Wish they make an entirely new song with that riff aside from lucretia.
@@dannelleabajar4703is that from Lucretia? That sound different
@@ConanObrien22it is from Lucretia, played slower and heavier in this vid.
Lol….no
Beste Megadeth line up to date:
Dave Mustaine
Marty Friedman
David Ellefson
Nick Menza
Kiko is AMAZING!
Of course
Holy crap, he is the mr obvious
2nd best lineup: Mustaine, Poland, Ellefson, Samuelson.
Tied for best.
4:40 sounds so jazzy and salsa-ish if that makes any sense, the way the hi hat comes in after that first breakdown 👌🏼🔥🔥🔥Nick Menza was so special man
in 1:48 is a birth of Ashes In Your Mouth
the first version
1:15 It's a kind of Addicted to Chaos.
I think the question is what's wrong with everyone else's hand? Clearly Marty is playing the right way and all the rest of us are playing wrong. Marty is legendary.
14 years and this still holds true 🤣
Amazing comment !
Marty is as good as the band he plays in
@@goosefukulardeath7300fucking legendary and top of the top?
Marty, just too good. Too too good.
He is awesome. Just like your pic🙋♂️😜
@@gtrriffs great move, guy.
@@gtrriffs the super simp is here ma friends
RIP NICK MENZA
A MUSICAL GENIUS
Marty's technique was razor fucking sharp here
RIP Nick Menza. A giant personality behind the kit... The black 'MEGADETH' guitar that became the silver guitar on Countdown. I remember when that was auctioned off... If only I had 30 grand.

David Grohl before he became The David Grohl.
Amazing Guitars tunes
and amazing guitar tones!
Marshall stacks with a Marshall preamp rack unit and old Jackson guitars (pre fender) is the tone. I can't tell if Dave is using a Duncan jb or stock Jackson pickup in the bridge but he does have a bill lawrence l500xl in the neck
Holy shit. The way Marty picks...
I miss that line up so much!
6:30 the way he says hey reminds me of James mocking Kirk when he said “fighting” when they were practicing Seek & Destroy.
I was there Birmingham N.E.C arena UK it was Clash of the Titans Tour,absolutely Outstanding show Megadeth / Slayer / Anthrax / Testament / Suicidal Tendencies damn the decades just fly I was only 21 I'm now 49 year's old Metalhead to the grave Bang your head til it bleeds Rattlehead! 🤔 🤙👍🤘☺
i was there too, anthax didnt play on this tour in the uk.
Hell yes I was there, 45 years old now, hell of a gig but sorry Anthrax weren't there, they didn't do the European leg of the tour..... 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was there as well it was an awesome gig
Dave's vocals were vicious back then!
Agreed he had a great voice during the 90s too bad in the lives you can hardly here it because the instruments are so loud
Check out Marty's right hand gallop at 1:50 ... jaw dropping!!
Its a normal galloping lol
Motter 6667 yea lmao I can do that I’m a drummer who fucks around with his band mates guitars.
@@gbirdo4718 but can play like Marty.
We guitar players gallop all time
I always love to see professional band sound check...because sometimes they play a full song better than the concert it self...
R.I.P, Nick Menza. Gone, but never forgotten.
RIP Nick. Will always be missed 😢
1:43 that tone
6:30 "and your friends all say dave your mental anyway " ... "hey." "dundendunle"
Nick with a Misfits T-shirt, cool.
Do you know what band the t-shirt that Dave Ellefson had was from?
Martys rythm tone is so godlike. And this is like the one of the only two clips of him playing five magics.
This is the best line up! Not just of MD but of all the thrash bands at that time!
Unfortunately I only have 3/9 parts... would love to get my hands on the rest some day.
insert David ellefson is underated coment here--------->
You 1 of those guys that nobody ever reads or answers your lame comments. So you put crap like that up "fishing for comment" truly SAD
JohnnyV Val what? Hahaahaha just go fuck your self everyone is seeing the monster ellefson was and comenting, i mention it in a funny way but theres always that virgin guy like you

This whole soundcheck could be a song, it's incredible!!
Mustaine is incredible...his riffs are intricate as hell! \m/
Best megadeth lineup in my opinion. I respect all musicians who has played with megadeth, but I would like to see the old crew play again.
Darn! I thought Jr was gonna start playing "Dawn Patrol" 3:11. I wish they played it more often live. It would sound perfect as an intro to tornado of souls or polaris.

Menza never stops, even playing in bed.As Dave said at the end of Paranoid;"Nick.. Nick.. Niiick" RIP
Fuck me runnin!
Ya that always irritated me. Dave yelling at nick
such a giant line up. there's nothing like the touch of Marty
I went to this concert as a 13yro. My mum took me and we were at the back of the mosh pit. Great gig. Alice in Chains was one of the supports.
The best era of Megadeth caught on tape!!
I got to see them play in a really small old theatre - we were about 10 feet back from the front… it was something i will always remember
ellefson is hilarious at the end..."dave your mental anyway, hey"
Looking at Mustaine’s arm at 4:56 you’ll notice how really he feels playing guitar, moving at the rhythm of those fast riffs.
Dave has the best right hand in thrash if you look past just how fast you can downpick shit
Name of the song?
@@miktamis175Lucretia
Crazy rhythms!!
they have the best live sound ever.
daves bass si so great through my headphones. fucking amazing.
Wow watching Marty play makes me feel so discouraged to continue playing guitar.
IT should encourage you to play better.
Watching Dave play and sing at the same time should’ve discouraged you lmao
3:15 pink panther theme
0:16 - Ready?...
0:18 - Set?!...
0:20- GOOOO!!!
I love how Marty totally kicks on like super speed there.
I went to the Manchester gig of this tour. It was amazing. Great to be reminded, thanks
I went to the Apollo gig slightly later in March '91. Can't believe it was so long ago.
Just realised it was the Apollo gig I went to, with Alice In Chains supporting - thought it was the same leg of that tour, sorry. So we were both there lol. Cheers
Thanks Disposabledeth! This is awesome! Haha, David Ellefson is so cool. "HEY!"
Excellent oriental lick between 0:59 and 1:02 by the mighty Marty :)
Ellefson's bass tickles me in a naughty place and he told me he's glad he get to tickle me. Yes, my life was made that day.
Gets*
The fuck.
I spoke to him, thats how part of the conversation went.
Shahd Al Abdullah oh now i see
Gave u tha jimmies or what?
It's scary how good they are.
I love Dave’s rhythm tone very tight and crunchy. Stock Marshall with a bogner preamp rack unit and Jackson king v with a stock Jackson pickup I believe
AWESOME video!!!! Dude the audio from that camera is WAAAAY better than most of todays consumer cams. The stereo separation is unbelievable. Thanx for this post.
shotgunn
Must be one of the BEST music videos on the platform ..!
3:06 Ellefson plays the bass fill from Hook in Mouth.
3:15 Nick plays in my darkest hour as well...
dam' it, man; this kind of footage was so hard to get during the 80s and 90s; bloody Hel....cool stuff.
I find it facinating that I enjoy watching soundcheck videos.
Very cool and those Jackson guitars just rock. ♥️🤘
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW LOVE YOU GUYS TILL THE END OF TIME!!!!! Just magnificent musicians that are so down to earth.........or.........if they weren't then they sure are now.......SUPERB!
LOL David Ellefson at the end!!
Yamaha drums are one of the most underrated drums in the metal scene. This sound is over the top for playing thrash metal
1:53 that left hand movement tho and that Gallop
what is this song??
@@thaflowman1 idk
lol this is the best Megadeth line up. RIP Menza
3:50 Proof that Dave Mustaine is god. He can have a conversation with someone while playing Lucretia on guitar.
@Tal Cual Paraco fucking idiot, shut up!
@Tal Cual Paraco damn,what u have inside your brain dude?
proof that he's Satan, my friend.
Tal Cual Paraco ? Wow ha ha, so funny. Go fuck yourself dumbass
@Tal Cual Paraco You're a real piece of crap running down a great man who's accomplished more than you ever will.
the best drummer Megadeth's had so far hope Nick rejoin the band
1, nick will not re join. Dave doesn't want him. It's not personal. Dave is all business. He does not want to base megadeth off nostalgia. He's been an unstoppable kinetic force since the second he got on that bus in NYC. he will never go backwards. Any rumors of nick or Marty ever re joining are just rumors to generate publicity.
2, gar was megadeths best drummer
If only gar was alive.
Noah Stone And Poland was the best guitarist :D
Can't wait to hear from all the butt heart R.I.P. fanboys...
+zzzhuh indeed. he's STILL shredding too
Three letters
G.A.R
"the bassist" hes a very well respected bass player in the metal scene. You should know who Dave Ellefson is.
Hands down, the best iteration of this band!
1:15 out of nowhere a FUCKING AWESOME DRUM BEAT
Sound checks are like the morning routine of an athlete . Coffee,bowel movement ; stretch , flex, run , lift . Eat rest then play
It is amazing what people on the internet can provide for one another. Which makes me wonder what happened to all the old posts Megadeth did back in 1997 on their official website.
Tear😥 Nothing that's so perfect can last forever!!! I miss these days and Line-up!!!🤘☢️🤘
Love these guys!
The megadeth's golden epoch...
That was the first time I saw megadeth in 1990...with slayer. Anthrax and Alice in chains....damn good concert!!!!....
I can't even fathom that show with so much talent haha 😎
0:42-0:53 what a cool beat
0:52 hey let me kiss you dude
marty always played like that, for some reason he holds his pick in that weird way everytime he solos/shreds and plays chords normally.
Love it
This guys were my familly back to the 90s...music was everything for me , music saved my life when i was teenager , this guys saved my fuckin life , Megadeth and Metallica , the fondations of thrash métal , the triple M.
Beautiful letter
Wonderful sound checking.
Is increíble fun what exist in thqt moments fr all those guys my nick neza RIP marty, david and dave never will be the same without this music . i love it the best edges 1980 to 1990
Marty is heaven sent!!!
marty is the happiest guy on earth
Wow. I went to this clash of the titans gig. October 13,1990. Classic
Pure awesomeness.
Junior just jamming and right in it, & then Marty and Nick just jump in and it's magic...5 Magics to be exact!
"Lean and hungry."

hmm... No.
