      Allowing the musician to speak and lead the conversation is why Rick is a great interviewer. Same reason Kiko is a great Megadeath player. He understands that Dave leads the band and he follows along and expands and betters the music. Marty understood that as well.

    Kiko was one of my first guitar heroes and Angra were the first band I ever travelled abroad from Ireland to see. It was Paris 2007, and when I was queuing outside the venue that afternoon Kiko and the band were entering, and stopped for autographs and photos. I asked Kiko if he could give me a guitar pick, but after checking his pockets he apologised and said he didn't. During the show, he saw me in the front row and handed me a pick which I treasure to this day. I'm so glad he is experiencing so much success with Megadeth. BTW No Gravity and Universo Inverso are KILLER solo guitar albums! 👌

He's always been known in Europe and Japan too due to Angra, but I'm glad he's finally getting the recognition he's always deserved in North America as well. Great guy, who's always set great examples.

    If you guys watched Rick's interview with Mateus Asato, you will remember that Mateus commented that one of his biggest influences is brazilian guitarist Juninho Afram.
    So, Juninho was a student of master Mozart Mello.
    In addition to Kiko and Juninho, Mozart was also a teacher for Rafael Bittencourt, Edu Ardanuy and other great Brazilian guitarists. His a guitar legend! So happy to see that Kiko mentioning him to Rick.

    Kiko is a living testimony that BENDS MATTER!. Among his fantastic playing abilities, the one that I enjoy the most is the tension and feeling of his bends and vibratos that take each of his solos to whole new levels. Stating that guitar is one of the very few instruments that allow this kind of expression is spot on.

    • @luisnunes3863

      Sure. Bends got a bad reputation from a certain type of boomer guitarist bending the same string for half an hour and acting like that's some kind of awesome, other than awesomely poor taste. 😉😉 But a good vibrato is highly prized to this day in metal.
      Another master of vibratos and bends in metal is André Olbricht of Blind Guardian. You might want to check him out. Mirror, Mirror is a good start.

    Kiko Loureiro is top notch! Brazilian pride.
    His display of the Brazilian music elements and styles, especially Baião, was so accurate and satisfying that I replayed several times.
