I find Dave's commentary about that being their best lineup so far really like if he's just saying that to motivate the fans and his bandmembers, 'cause everybody fuckin' knows Dave-Marty-Dave-Nick was their best lineup ever, and as far as I'm concerned, it will be forever.
"This is by far the best Megadeth line-up I think we've ever had" Dave, you should quit being a guitar player and become a comedian. IMO, the Marty Friedman and Nick Menza line-up will always be the best.
just PR excercise, if you ask him now, he'll tell you the actual line-up is the best ever. Friedman and Broderick are uncomparable; guess Broderick is much more technical than marty, but basically lacks of any creativity
2009 : "Chris is by far the best guitar player Megadeth has ever had..." 2018: "Kiko is by far the best guitar player Megadeth has ever had..." Oh Dave......
I'm sure that if Chris Broderick wanted to exit the legendary Megadeth, he could. Fact of the matter is, he joined a band that was established on Dave's work, Dave's sound, Dave's songs, like it or not. Chris is a world-class musician, but so is Dave. I'm sure Broderick can deal with an amp change. I played in a band that endorsed ENGL. However, the Soldano SLO is my amp of choice, and my sound. Would I play Marshall? No. Would I play Marshall if I were in Megadeth? Absolutely.
That is the coolest I have ever seen Dave Mustaine in an interview. Not hating on the guy, but he really seems to have finally excepted where he is in life. I always wondered why he was so angry. This is definitely a more mature Dave Mustaine in this interview.
i noticed that too lol. he tilts his head a little now and again. the most he moved was when he tried to demonstrate that floyd trick dave didnt like. hes a pretty chill dude
Yes, I know; & he's another one of my favorites as well. Marty's style is very exotic & free flowing, So I don't blame him for leaving...He resides in Japan now I believe:-)
Chris' rig has changed a lot since this video. He is using an AxeFx into the Marshall power amps, he runs the Energyball model...which is an ENGL Powerball.
Everyone bashing on what Dave said about Chris' playing... He obviously knows Chris is better, he's said that in interviews. But Megadeth is Dave's band, if he wants a solo to sound a certain way he's going to make sure it does. Chris is an amazing player, but he's part of Megadeth...Dave IS megadeth.
I agree. I don't think people realize that Chris is very professional and has very little ego. He took a job he wanted knowing that he was joining an established band. With that comes following a certain status quo. He seems to be doing well and I don't think it's a huge compromise. I think the only people losing in this deal are Engl.
i see what you mean, but i all also see Dave's point, it's true that a lot of musicians give very positive comments about their new lineup, but the last word goes to the audience/fans. and i agree with Dave,now they have a great line up, i sure as hell want Nick to be part of this new Megadeth, he's alive, he's active, he must be part of it, the rest of the line up is awesome.Ellefson is here, Broderick is da bomb.he has something in common with Friedman, both are advanced melodic shredders.
I love how honest Dave is about endorsements, like, "Endorsements are a minefield; I'm now just going to cover my ass like so..." Very NOT "rock 'n' roll," but again, the honesty of it is really refreshing! :S
I was at the show in Davenport! So awesome to not have to travel for a great show. But why did they have 16 amp heads on the stage if they're just running a preamp into a 100/100? They didn't even mention the 16 heads! Hey...
@sfh113 steve vai's signature dimarzio evolutions are actually really hot pickups so they can definitely pull off a metal tone. i'm a huge seymour duncan guy but the dimarzio d activators are probably something you should look into. they are supposed to be a mix of an active sound and a passive sound but they don't require a battery like other active pickups. if you want a full on active sound id say blackouts. they sound very full and the sound has more emphasis on the low end frequencies
@bigcatroberts it doesnt really, just a matter of person preference, tunings a bit faster if they are all on one side, opposed to then tuning 3 and flipping your hand around the head and twisting the opposite direction.
@howgoyoufar If you meant me, I really would never bash Dave. I know that Megadeth is his vision, and the other guys (as amazing as they are) are just along for his ideas because it is his band
@Guitarism21 I do sort of agree. That was the golden era of megadeth IMO. Although after seeing chris brodrick play, I have to say the guy is absolute class!
@charlieshreds You are high if you think bands were using any of that stuff, especially in the early 80s. What American metal bands were actually using Engl and Carvin? Scorpions used Engl in late 80s. Even Metallica was using Mesa's WITH MARSHALL POWER AMPS and Marshall Cabs. Every band in the 80s was using Marshall amps on their early stuff because there wasn't anything else. Go look at the first records from Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Exodus, Testament, Anthrax, etc. List goes on...
@guitarism21. you may think the old lineup is better. but mustaine said that the other guys had parts he didnt agree with and chris only had a quick tremelo thing he didnt agree with. not alot of stuff
ironbeast6 Yeah I stopped watching after that. I've noticed from the interviews In the last 10 years he became almost mentally unstable. Always "trying" to make people like him, insinuating to people to worship him, to hold him in highest regards.If no one tells him at least once a day "hey Dave you're legend", don't worry he will tell you. Fail.
220volt74 Sorry, but that arrogance that Dave has is not only earned, but justified. Eddie has referred to himself as a legend many times, but that does not change the fact that he is. Same here. It may sound cocky and arrogant, but it's also true. He's just being honest.
3:29 What does a preamp actually do? Cause, amplifiers have a preamp and a power amp, yeah? And afaik, the preamp will create some distortion and toanz. But what about when someone has a separate, standalone preamp - does that go into the head of an amp? (Into *that* amp's preamp + power amp?). Or, does it replace/bypass the preamp that's in the amp? Or, do you have a standalone preamp and a standalone power amp? I'm sure it goes before an amp - that much I know - the clue's in the name!! I just don't know about the how/why...
@jaydog664 when jackson was for sale dave wanted to buy it, then as dave was about to buy it they sold it to fender, that put dave off jackson so he wanted a change, he then changed from esp but because they were little girls about there designs being so close to jacksons, he left them for gibson and dean, dean however finished there prototype first and dave loved it and just forgot gibson and went straight to dean.
What makes Chris better than Marty is this.Marty tried to turn Dave onto pop and Chris just does his fucking job.Cant wait for their next cd.Chris will have a lot more input.
I need help determining a new set of pickups for my Jackson.. I like to play metal and i like that high gain sound but i also really like the steve vai sort of sound too. Can someone suggest pickups for me please?
@MOOGSTER66 i thought that too but there is a video of him explaining why he needed that change i dont remember the main reason i know one of the little reasons he said he has to change the tuning of the guitar himself a lot during shows and having the 6 in a row is easier but when he explains the main reason it makes a lot of since

"You can't get anymore legendary then being a legend" lol
Damn fuckin right.
Getcha pull
He actually gets to say that legitimately. It's just true lol
Lol Dave's pretty much like... "Dude, I don't know what the hell all this stuff does, I just play them" XD
Hah signs of getting old... "don't care what it is as long as it sounds right!"
@@ironbeast6that’s always how hee’s been
"I can't really play solos great"
-Dave Mustaine 2009
I find Dave's commentary about that being their best lineup so far really like if he's just saying that to motivate the fans and his bandmembers, 'cause everybody fuckin' knows Dave-Marty-Dave-Nick was their best lineup ever, and as far as I'm concerned, it will be forever.
"This is by far the best Megadeth line-up I think we've ever had" Dave, you should quit being a guitar player and become a comedian. IMO, the Marty Friedman and Nick Menza line-up will always be the best.
Noah Miller its out of either Broderick or Poland being megadeths best lead guitarist
You're entitled to your opinion, just like I'm entitled to mine lol. I think that Friedman or now Kiko is probably the best lineup they've had.
Marty was an awesome guitarist, some my favourite Megadeth albums are _Rust In Peace_, _Countdown to Extinction_ and _Youthanasia_
They're all "good" - some material is better than others . I really like the Freidman/Menza era but the first lineup kills too!
just PR excercise, if you ask him now, he'll tell you the actual line-up is the best ever. Friedman and Broderick are uncomparable; guess Broderick is much more technical than marty, but basically lacks of any creativity
2009 : "Chris is by far the best guitar player Megadeth has ever had..."
2018: "Kiko is by far the best guitar player Megadeth has ever had..."
Oh Dave......
Well at the time Chris was the best
Than they got kiko and he's better
Add Marty, the other Chris, Jeff, etc😂😡
Marty: am I a joke to you?!?
"This is the best line-up Megadeth ever had" Correction - it reached the state of perfection when David Ellefson joined again.
Bet you regret that now lol
@@gavinmorgan8691 hahahahahaha
As much as I love Dave, he is always so hard on his other guitarist. I guess he just wants everything perfect
"You can't get any more legendary than be being a legend."
Chris is awesome, thank you for the ENGL support!
Dave is a legend
I love how Dave wiped his hand off before shaking the guys hand, thats respect right there.
I'm sure that if Chris Broderick wanted to exit the legendary Megadeth, he could. Fact of the matter is, he joined a band that was established on Dave's work, Dave's sound, Dave's songs, like it or not. Chris is a world-class musician, but so is Dave.

i noticed that too lol. he tilts his head a little now and again. the most he moved was when he tried to demonstrate that floyd trick dave didnt like. hes a pretty chill dude
4:00 All those amps. One microphone. x)
He uses the Energyball model in his AxeFX into Marshall power amps so, in a way, he has gone back to using ENGL amps in Megadeth
A lot of what Dave says is very tongue in cheek. He doesn't take himself too seriously. Been a fan of his since he was in Metallica.
He didn't title himself. The legend title was given to him for a reason.
They should've done another one of these for their _Dystopia_ tour and with their new guitarist
Great interview, wish the compression was better for the video. Maybe you all could re-compress it in with a better codec and repost.
I like that tone from Endgame. Had no idea that was derived from a Digitech 1101.
endgame was recorded with JVMs and I think the Randy Rhoads model. Live is a different beast
They were still doing 480p in 2009? wow.
Wonder how long it'll be until dave makes chris use DEAN guitars?
@Bart Lee I didn’t realise that 9 years ago. 🤣
@Bart Lee Yeah, don’t see Dave as a Gibson guy.
He wiped his hand so some of his "awesome" wouldn't contaminate the guy....
@spuogis It was shot on 12/7/09 in Davenport, IA.
it's still rendering,it'll take time before it shows in HQ.
Yes, I know; & he's another one of my favorites as well. Marty's style is very exotic & free flowing, So I don't blame him for leaving...He resides in Japan now I believe:-)

@DemantiaStudio no not any more, Dave uses his signature Marshall cabinates rigged up to the if i remember MG450FX pre-amp
" Like night ranger cacophony damnit" !!!!
LOL
Dave and Chris are sick dudes man
So you would rather have someone lie to you ? Rather than being straight forward with you and honest on how they feel and think.
@sfh113 steve vai's signature dimarzio evolutions are actually really hot pickups so they can definitely pull off a metal tone. i'm a huge seymour duncan guy but the dimarzio d activators are probably something you should look into. they are supposed to be a mix of an active sound and a passive sound but they don't require a battery like other active pickups. if you want a full on active sound id say blackouts. they sound very full and the sound has more emphasis on the low end frequencies
Awesome now I can sound like dave!
@mr4y Yes I know that, but dave is making him use marshall amps live, the same ones he uses, to get that "Megadeth sound"
5:48 - Sounded like Chris got beaked!
Great band, and Endgame kicks ass!
So...like what amps do they use ? They showed a stock pic of some Marshall rack mount power amps ?
@bigcatroberts it doesnt really, just a matter of person preference, tunings a bit faster if they are all on one side, opposed to then tuning 3 and flipping your hand around the head and twisting the opposite direction.
@charlieshreds
I can tell by your comments that you weren't actually around in the 80's.
Very true brother
My english is not good enough. What does Mustaine say about Night Ranger and Cacophony?
@nintendoguy300 I don't think that was wrong at all, thinking about how Mustaine says he's the best guitar player megadeth has ever said
sorry i thought Dave uses Line6 amp maybe i'm wrong
@snapascrew He was wiping the sweat off before he shook the interviewer's hand.
WHAT ABOUT JUNIORS BASS RIG?
Check out Jackson Guitars page. He rundowns his bass amd amp
Look at Dave he is such a gentleman, he wipes the sweat off his hand before he shakes the hosts hand. Classy guy :)
The bradshaw that dave used was a RSB - 12F Which i believe was also a rocktron.
Met him at music live last year.. my mate asked him what it was like to sleep with Hammetts wife.. worlds most akward silence...
This is the best line up? The Dave, dave nick and marty combo was better than there current lineup in my opinion.
but Chris' RGA7 LACS have the ZR system, probably and old interview before his two LACS with the ZR
@jersey1979 daves voice is like a fine wine....gets better as he gets older
@howgoyoufar If you meant me, I really would never bash Dave. I know that Megadeth is his vision, and the other guys (as amazing as they are) are just along for his ideas because it is his band
imagine someone in your band telling you want amp to use
Where are the JVMs, Dave?
He keeps using them for sutdio purposes
@Guitarism21 I do sort of agree. That was the golden era of megadeth IMO. Although after seeing chris brodrick play, I have to say the guy is absolute class!
@Pallietime Careful there. Chris might be a better educated musician but Dave is Megadeth.
amen brotha!

Hey Chris, post your settings on digitech sound community please!!!
@guitarism21. you may think the old lineup is better. but mustaine said that the other guys had parts he didnt agree with and chris only had a quick tremelo thing he didnt agree with. not alot of stuff
Awesome!
If you have point out that you're a legend in every interview, guess what.. You're not a legend.
WHY did he have to throw that in! I love Megadeth's music and all but that sort of thing is disappointing.
ironbeast6
Yeah I stopped watching after that. I've noticed from the interviews In the last 10 years he became almost mentally unstable.

@Guitarism21 IMO, now that Junior is back with the band, the marty nick 2xDave is the only lineup that beats the current one
What makes Chris better than Marty is this.Marty tried to turn Dave onto pop and Chris just does his fucking job.Cant wait for their next cd.Chris will have a lot more input.
Too much awesomeness in this video for me to handle :D
@TheShepster80 Don't know if this will happen, now he has a Jackson Signature of his own.
Seems like Dave wants to burn less bridges with companies but still throws hissy fits when the lead guitarist has gear that THEY like
I need help determining a new set of pickups for my Jackson.. I like to play metal and i like that high gain sound but i also really like the steve vai sort of sound too. Can someone suggest pickups for me please?
i think this video is a little old
@Krzysmalaki74
EXACTLY. Chris is a hired hand....a damn fine one
@superjesus117 The lead guitarist says this exact same thing, Chris may be technically better but Marty's style is undeniable
Does anyone know what trick Dave and Chris is talking about around 5:45?
I dig Megadeth, but man I wish Chris stayed with Nevermore. the Loomis/Broderick combo was just so kick ass
5:46 Dave laugh is kickass!
5:46 even daves laugh is metal haha
@MOOGSTER66 i thought that too but there is a video of him explaining why he needed that change i dont remember the main reason i know one of the little reasons he said he has to change the tuning of the guitar himself a lot during shows and having the 6 in a row is easier but when he explains the main reason it makes a lot of since
@nintendoguy300 Megadeth is Dave Mustaine, anyone else plays guitar for Megadeth, not with Megadeth.
what did he mean about the FCC thing.
@jaydog664 At one point Jackson got overtaken by the Fender Corp. Loads of Jackson players switched to ESP in result of this aciton.
@EXPcustom no no , one time i saw a video where Mustaine had a signature line6
If you look at the video in the time thing (the grey line, whatever its called) Chris boderick stays still basically the entire time.
good ol Spinal Tap reference
this was before chris went to jackson
what did he mean by "the FCC coming down on endorsements?"
You obviously haven't read the lyrics to that song.
lmfao why does Dave get all jittery when he shakes the guys hand in the beginning?
GreekGuru74 He wipes the sweat off his hand on his leg before he shakes his hand.
Hey man. I do the same thing
HAHA it cracked me up when Dave wiped his hand to shake his hand. It happens to me all the time
"Can we take a look at your live rig?"
"Haha No!"
I don't think anyone explained to them that was the point of the interview.😒
@mr4y he talked about his rig.
Basically it means to give the wammy bar a little tap.
@Jlpme218 when he was STARTING metallica last time i checked it was lars that started metallica
@mr4y dave made chris used the same rig.
