True also the sign of a really good drummer I think is marking all the riffs and changes - probably not correct drum theory, I play guitar but how it seems to me
Dave created an another epic combo Dave + Elefson + Dirk Verburen + the legend KIKO LOUREIRO. They already created a comeback album as "dystopia" the next album will be more fire than dystopia
As a huge Metallica fan, when I think about the best heavy metal formation I always think in 90's Megadeth. What a beast they were... Dave Mustaine, Dave Ellefson, Marty Friedman and Nick Menza. Dream team for sure!
You know what the crazy thing is? Soultone made this to sell some cymbals but instead wound up with the best video of Nick Menza doing his song. What a treasure you have here. I love this video. Watched this so many times.
The song comes along naturally in my mind... and that is what the best drummer of Megadeth gave me.... memories of my schools days.... Nick - best drummer of Megadeth in my opinion.... RIP.....
Am I the only one who got my guitar and jammed with this and felt absolutely magical afterwards because I just jammed to Holy Wars...The Punishment due, with Nick Menza!
There is something so signature about how he hit the drums. No other Megadeth drummer has ever captured it. He had his own sound or tone about him that was unmistakable.
Cliff plus Nick would be so amazing, and I was JUST thinking the same when I saw this. W/ Chuck S, even, though my dream lineup has Jimi w/ Chuck on guitars ;)
OH MY GOD. This is a PERFECT lineup. However, can we just have CO main leads with Chuck and Dime? And Chuck doing harmonizing vocals? His talent feels under utilized XD Thanks for this comment though, what a GREAT idea!
Who can ever forget seeing that video for this song the first time...and Nick doing his cross armed cymbals..epic. Nick made alot of people want to become drummers..RIP
Damn straight he did. I was playing in bands on drums in the late 90s when cryptic writings came out and I was a menza fan to the max. Still my all time favorite drummer ! I wish he was still alive and knew how many people he inspired. Rust In peace nick
Pretty cool that Dave has said there's going to be a benefit concert to Nick's family coming. All former Megadeth members are welcome so hopefully we see Marty up there.
Alfonso Salgado yes when i knew he got the idea of the intro on trust and when you listen to the drum part of addicted to chaos , you feel that guy was heavy underretted
@@johnkratos4313 wait wait huh? It's the opposite, Gar was a jazz drummer lol. I actually like Nick more personally but Gar was anything but a prototypical thrash drummer, leave that to Lars
nigel fairweather Oh i miss him, i got into Death Metal cuz of Death (Kind of ironic,cuz two years ago I used to think that Death Metal was just noise)
Incredible writing skills, the drum is literally singing, I can click on the video randomly and I always know which part of the song is just by listen to a couple of seconds.
Menza gets nowhere near enough credit. His playing is slick, tight, precise and to the point. His sound is thick and meaty, and his stamina is beyond what Lars (great drummer, don't misunderstand) could do anymore. Rock on, Nick!
@@russell2890 Think about it: In the annals of the most talked about drummers in rock and metal. who except the diehard fans thinks of Menza when pressed to name names? You have Lombardo, Ulrich, Portnoy, Bill Ward, Vinnie Paul...but does anyone automatically think of Menza? This is why I say he's so underrated.
Nick Menza... One day i'm gonna use this track, and cover Holy Wars just to pay my respects to an amazing drummer and human being. May your soul rest in peace, and keep rocking in heaven.
exactly what I was thinking here they are tweeting about how they love and miss him. They didn't care about him multiple occasions ignored and kicked him out.
+Anthony Avila idk, i think they did love him to some degree. Jr sure did. Dave i think likes to kind of throw dirt on old babd mates, but they did jam earlier in the year (or maybe it was on like christmas) and they kind of got back together as friends, just not as a band. And i think that was the first time since he left that Dave allowed himself to think about how good the band was with Nick and Marty
+Johnny Mickem Dude what the fuck?! regardless of the genre she sang it was still the passion that drove her to sing and she died a violent unjust death at an extremely young age. Both deaths were extremely sad.
Best concert of my life was when I was 17 years old. They came and played a small club (that alone blew my mind) on Dec. 14, 1999. I still have the ticket stub. It was at Ground Zero in Spartanburg SC. Lineup was Dave and David obviously, but Marty was still with them, and so was Menza. To this day I have never heard a louder concert. There are no words for being less than 6 feet away from these four icons of metal. I caught a pick from Dave as well I still have. I mean... I was still in high school when I went to that show. That astounds me to this day how lucky I was. *Note - I may have inaccurate memories. 20+ years is hard to remember. :/ It seems it was Jimmy at my show and I just have an awful memory. My bad guys.
@@nikitamyvenomchernyavskiy6470 Well it has been over 20 years. I could have the details fuzzy but I don't recall a replacement drummer whatsoever that night. Of course, it's possible. I was 17, stoned as hell, and can't remember as well as I thought it seems. Either way was still an amazing night. *Shit it was Jimmy that night!! I did some digging just now and yeah you're right I had simply gotten the dates mixed up after all these years. Thanks for not being a dick thinking I was trying to spin a big impressive story.
TranceSFX I never liked the Drover brothers in the band...idk, they just never fit in my opinion, it's like Dave was in such a rush to get somethin' going so he just grabbed those 2 an got back to business...but he already said he would never work with Nick again so that dream is about as dead as my dream of Dave rejoining Slayer
rust in peace was the masterpiece that it wus cus of menza, don't get me wrong, guitars and bass were amazing, but damnit if the drum tracks on RIP aren't the best in thrash history
Sad he passed being so young... We're gonna missing so badly! :( BTW, I did read that he was the 1st artist/drummer who was sponsored by this brand (Soultone) which is relatively new.
When I was just beginning to delve into Metal, I listened to this song, and way before I would want to start drum set again, I just got this feeling and sense of amazement, and knew that somehow without listening and hearing all the finest details as I do now, that this guy was something special. R.I.P Nick Menza
Lars could play it, being able is not his problem. Playing it and staying on the beat is his problem. When Master of Puppets came out I thought Lars was the best drummer in the world. I played battery to my instructor at school. He said "go home and put a metronome to that, then come talk to me tomorrow." Next day he saw me come in heart broken, he said "and that is the best take they kept on the album". As I was walking away, he handed me a tape and said, now go home and try to play this." IT was Slayer "Rein in Blood".
I got to play on this giant orange kit that was Nick's touring one back in the day, it was up on this riser thing with a cage type rack and the cymbals hanging down from the arms. HUGE. Lol. Rock on man.
It’s amazing how even with just the drum track that so many can hear the entire band almost at full volume :) Nick is the man... Such a huge inspiration to myself and so many others. Love and miss you much man..
Such a great musician taken far too soon. This song had a huge impact on my play style in my earlier years. Watching Nick in the actual video was astounding to see as he moved on his cage kit. True master gone to grass. R.I.P Nick Menza.
Hellwyck you're the one who is stupid. He said "too bad they didn't rejoin megadeth". What do you mean you "have to rejoin once"? No you don't. You'd have to just joined one time initially, then leave. Any time they come in after that is a rejoin. You are so fucking stupid you can't even admit when you're wrong you just argue like a dumbass when all the proof you were wrong was right there.
RIP Nick - great way to watch him break down this iconic song. The drum part isn't particularly difficult but his playing is so in the pocket on this song. Without Nick coming along it would have been a lot harder for me to learn how to play double bass.
yes and Vinnie didn't give me satisfaction when he played with Mustaine : maybe Dave asked him to play very regulars drumming parts .....( i'm a huge fan of Vinnie but he exploses when he plays fusion jazz stuff i think )
This is just beautiful. Thank you for this. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest songs ever played on drums. It's tight as hell but so rough and furious. I feel this on a different level to most songs.
Nick Menza had the coolest drumsound of all Megadeth drummers. As a kid, his heavy pounding but yet swinging playing style got me by the balls big time even before hairs grew on them.
One of the hardest drum beats to play in thrash metal, END! RIP Nick. I am glad I had the chance to chat with you and tell you that my son is named after you.
I listened to "Holy Wars" today while I was setting my kit after playing Saturday and Sunday. This song, particularly Nick's drumming is so kick ass. I don't think Megadeath realize how much this song means to us Iraq veterans.
An awesome play through that rewards knowledge of the source material. Any of thumbs pointed the wrong way probably shouldn't have even watched. Thanks Nick (forever) and thanks for posting this amazing display.

RIP my idol drummer.
Nick Menza had the coolest drumsound of all Megadeth drummers. As a kid, his heavy pounding but yet swinging playing style got me by the balls big time even before hairs grew on them.
holy! sounds great
Menza, great drummer, very talented🤘🥁 always a pleasure to watch him play👍🏻
One of the hardest drum beats to play in thrash metal, END! RIP Nick. I am glad I had the chance to chat with you and tell you that my son is named after you.
When John Wick wants a break from being a Cyberpunk in the year 2077, he chills out by drumming to some Megadeth.
A true Wild Stallion!
Actually its wild with a y. Wyld Stallions
@@lisagarcia6601 WOAH
rip lovely and talent Nick!
The crashes are so brilliant that Nick has to wear crappy sunglasses?
He does what he wants.
"look at my horse" horse's glasses
He´s hiding he is actually Ace Frehley...
Thank you soultone cymbals for this magic moment. Miss you Nick!!!!!
Great to hear just the raw drums. No music just Nick and his kit.
2:25 sounds a lot like the intro to Trust. Never noticed before.
I listened to "Holy Wars" today while I was setting my kit after playing Saturday and Sunday. This song, particularly Nick's drumming is so kick ass. I don't think Megadeath realize how much this song means to us Iraq veterans.
lars must be looking for tabs
Raffie Quler He absolutely can play Octavarium, or The Sound of Muzak...goddamnit
We won't really know. He's stopped playing fast in late 80s early 90s when he didn't need to. The Black album really did change the band for a while
Lars drumming in hardwired was pretty good
Ege Batur tabs lol...
I could watch him play drums for hours, he was amazing. Rip
An awesome play through that rewards knowledge of the source material. Any of thumbs pointed the wrong way probably shouldn't have even watched. Thanks Nick (forever) and thanks for posting this amazing display.
