Poland is quite possibly the best thrash metal guitarist ever..but on accident. He set the bar for individuality in the genre. Poland plays the guitar in metal like Kenny G plays the flute in Jazz. Fn Perfection !
memory failed ... Megadeth's second album came out in 1986. So Poland joined in 1983 or 1984. On another note I would have loved to hear something with Chris, Gar and Stu.
MrEyebrowz It's always you *3* in every Chris Poland video XD In fact whenever I click on one I just know there'll be some of your comments. Edit: Whoops I meant to type 3, corrected.
yeah man dave talks a lot about him in his biography! it's impressive how many times dave Mustaine & Chris got into a fistfight, Poland was apparently very annoying sometimes
Best guitarist Deth ever had. Probably the best jazz fusion and thrash metal guitarist ever. Apart from Holdsworth no one touches this guy. His runs are clear out of this world.
There is also Gambale, Shawn Lane and Gunthrie. I love all these guys including Poland and Holdsworth. I will say Polan's OHM is the most listenable of them all. My gaad that band is just so tight and so great.
This guy has the right mix of technique, invention , styles to make metal music that isn’t stale and generic. The word fusion was made for the likes of him.
Man he has a horrible sense of time lol but he’s sharp everywhere else. His timing on guitar is great tho and that’s all that really matters. One of my favorite guitarists ever.
Strange question does he get paid for these interviews? I'd like Chris to get his due. Wish him the Best THANK YOU CHRIS for creating MEGADETH Not only Dave ok
Don't let his looks fool you that's a heavy metal genius right there.

I think he's like John Coltrane of saxophone

Megathrax84 Nice profile pic
No late 1984 .
Before it was Kerry king .
Before It was Greg .
There is a recording by Gar, and Stu, no Chris, though. Can't remember the name of the group, Wiki will tell you.
Fatal Opera !
@@mattevans923 Was a great band! Gar himself told me about it and sent me a CD (their debut CD) and poster. I really miss the guy!
Guitar wizard. Such a killer player!
Didn't expect to see you here !!
Always a good day when I see another Chris Poland interview uploaded onto TH-cam! Thanks for this, Chris Poland is a genius!
Well well well... We meet again :D

ÁUß Code Yo.
Having a "Birds of Fire" avatar shows a bit of genius also :)
@@Walamonga1313 fuck yeah best megatarist ever
"Like 7 years ago I did The System Has Failed", that was funny if you remember that the album was released on 2004. Time flies!
might be the trade-off for remembering what to play ... lol
What seemed like last week was 2 years ago.
Greatest guitar in Megadeth ever.
Mr.Poland is a guitar genius and virtuoso. He is the Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and John McLaughlin of speed metal and thrash metal.
After reading mustaine's book, cant believe he s still alive!
yeah man dave talks a lot about him in his biography!
it's impressive how many times dave Mustaine & Chris got into a fistfight, Poland was apparently very annoying sometimes
@@lucb404 i m sure they were a really funny bunch, atleast from the outside 🤣
Chris joined in 1984, not 86.
My true, humble and wonderful hero. Beautiful interview. Thank you.

so chris and dave both got a guitar broke over their head by their sister
That’s a prerequisite to join megadeth.
That’s what I was thinking lol
I absolutely LOVE Poland, but "late 86?" Hahaha. Not quite lol
4:10 He made a mistake it was late 84 not 86
Chris was I 😆 a Blurr
Rip Gar
"Late 86" lol, someone else must've recorded KIMB and PSBWB then 😂
hes old af now. plus shredded his brain cells to deth.
i think he meant late 83...
@@codyharrison8913 wow chris was 61 when you commented this. that is hardly "old AF"
system has failed was a great megadeth album
One of the bests
yes is really great, but i think its great as a dave mustaine solo album, not megadeth album
You know you're getting old when your rock heroes look and dress like grandfathers going to the track

Good interviewer. It works.
Legend
SOSOSO Happy for him he looks good. Dave's got All the money But Chris has inner peace. You can see it
Heavy Metal Legend
I came to watch this, but when I saw the name of the channel I didn't feel welcomed here so I left.
louis borselio yuk yuk

Wait didn't Chris play on KILLING IS MY BIZ
He recorded the album, but didn't do the tour.
Likes to work with his hands … so does ellefson 😜
RIP Nick and Gar
He's a brilliant guitarist but omg
He's aged so much
LifeGoes On dude he's 61...add the years of drugs and booze....taking it's toll
LifeGoes On he looks fine. Dave M on the other hand looks like the skin on your hand when you have been in the bath too long.
Hey Life Goes On, life goes on!
he is older than dave and david.
and dave aged so much in the last 3 years
Strange question does he get paid for these interviews? I'd like Chris to get his due. Wish him the Best THANK YOU CHRIS for creating MEGADETH Not only Dave ok
