Replicating such an iconic tone from Rust in Peace was harder than I thought it was going to be. It had to be aggressive and articulate without losing the mid focussed snarl. I actually just got the remastered album on vinyl last week and I'm hearing elements of the guitars that I've never heard before. It seems to have clearer separation between the instruments and all in all sounds much better than I've ever heard it. I was hoping the book would have more nerd info in it about the recording sessions but it was more to do with the personal struggles that Megadeth had to go through making the album. It wasn't just Dave's story, it was like a group discussion with everyone involved having input throughout. It was definitely appreciated and I'm glad Dave took the time for the fans...
@@Twobarpsi I’m super on the fence about it, I don’t like how the gain breathes. If I find a head for like $500 then I’d probs do it, I just have a feeling that the gain tone won’t *do it* for me.
@@kidder83 a DSL100 sounds so much better than a TSL 100. My friend has one, and the DSL just sounds better. Less ear piercing treble. If that helps you decide. I can get a great clean sound a great classic sound and a great modern sound it's a great amp!
I feel like "the opening to Holy Wars gets me excited" is not something anyone says. It's like saying "I like breathing" or "I like food", it's so universal and obvious that it doesn't need to be said anymore.
@@GrumsIncantation he's saying that no one dislikes the opening of holy wars, I.e. no one says "I don't like food", no one says that because that's just how good holy wars is
brother you should have played a medley.... pretty crazy an enthusiast can replicate such a guitar tone. i thought all of todays metals tones sucked ass due to refined production/engineering. hats off
@@GoodForNothingDrums I’m just not a fan of modern metal anyway, just don’t like the style and like you said the tones, it all sounds the same with modern engineering.
@@abrupt512 everyone is too concerned with getting the most aggressive and perfect sound that no one even tries to coming up with an original sound anymore. Everyone uses the same EQ, the same boost pedals, the same amp modellers, the same drum samples (gotta get that gunshot snare bro), everything. Metal is an industry nowadays and industrial products tend to become standardised. Only ones using interesting/different tones are underground BM and DM bands who are actively trying to sound like early 90s acts.
@@RafaelCDet kempers/modeling amps and computer drums have ruined metal for me only a few good bands around that still sound like they have edge otherwise most of it now is just a screaming or guttural vocal guy over some distorted guitars with the same double drum beat
Developed a skin condition a few years ago and can barely play anymore. Loved this album to death and watching you play brought back some good memories. One thing I did not see was in your playing style. Mustaine used a technique called spider fingering which enables him to play those E to F or F# changes lightning fast. It's a pretty cool party trick and relatively easy to learn. Keep it up!
Great video mate, loved it. Megadeth's rhythm riffs for solo's are so interesting and unique. Really takes the solo's to another level and I'm glad you showcased some of that. Cheers
You absolutely nailed it, closer than I've heard anyone get. You consistently have the best Megadeth guitar vids there are and I really appreciate it man, thank you.
Fuck yeah right. That's literally what I'm doing. I tried to learn the main riff from Psychotron and I was like Fuck that's how he plays it fuck I can't do that yet. Shortest Straw it is then.
Thats a bit of hyperbole there. Rust in peace sounded dated and passe in 1990... It sounds awfully corny now.. Didn't hold up at all... Countdown was far superior to rust imo
These videos are easily my favourite thing to watch guitar content wise. So much fun and invaluable for people like myself who doesn't have a developed ear to be able to replicate the tones at this point in my guitar journey.
Love the tone and love Ollie's contribution! He might not always be right, but the little guy putting in his two cents definitely lifts all our spirits!
This kinda thing I’ve always liked trying because it’s like a really interesting mid-point between art and science, where even though it’s an art like music and also requires musical skill, it requires a ton of the science of signal processing and sonic analysis and trial and error
Hi there from a half a world away! This is a great tone - spot on WOW. I wish I lived next door so we could both jam those awesome RIP songs together. So excited to try and nail these songs after hearing your tone and guitar technique. A big thumbs up and keep rocking mate!
Man your video quality and content has improved leaps recently you deserve way more subs. Spot on tone amazing, this is the best video on the RIP tone. This album is my all time favourite album not just favorite metal album. FWIW Megadeth used Hafler triple giant and Bogner Fish preamps through VHT 2150 during this era but I’m not sure this is what they used in the studio. Like you said the yellow Tortex pick helps to get that bitey, scratchy and aggressive pick attack, something the thicker picks fail to provide. The usage of thicker strings is also a very nice match to the relatively flexible pick. Like George Benson once said thin pick for thick strings and thick pick for thin strings. Thanks
Than you, appreciate it. I searched for that info on what amps were used. Turns out you’re on the money. I went back down the rabbit hole searching threads and it’s all there. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Dude i love how well u do getting close to iconic band/album sounds without using or telling people they need 10's of thousands of $'s in rack mount gear or walls of amps but still get near dead on with decent tone sculpting, a good ear and more so precise technique (cause after all majority of the "tone" is in the fingers/execution of the riff) AND ur cover vids are awesome too, well done 🎸🤘🤘
Really enjoying these tone videos! Especially enjoy seeing videos on dialing in the DSL20. It's a killer amp, especially when paired with a good cabinet as demonstrated in your videos.
Great video as usual man. The tone and playing are fantastic, love seeing some appreciation for Polaris, my favorite track off of the album, and one that I wish they would play live! Loved hearing Ollie's take too!
I got to see Megadeth play Rust in Peace in it's entirety about 7 or 8 years ago I think. Chris Broderick made an eensy weensy tiny flub and Dave gave a death glare like none I've seen before XD
Brilliant.. thank you so much for sharing. I had rust in peace tape signed by the band back in the day in HMV music store in Newcastle, England. I’m 48 and have dusted my Jackson’s down and my Marshall head serviced today 🤘🏼
I've been using the Dunlop 0.73 picks for years. I've found them to be the most comfortable and versatile thrash pick out there. I occasionally have a delve with the 2.0 metal TeckPick or the 1.0 Pickboy gripped plectrum. Another one that gives quite an interesting sound (for Big Jim Faith No More stuff) is the Dunlop Big Stubby 3.0mm, you can get some really good pick noise from them, from general picking, harmonics and even muting with the pick itself. Thanks for the great video mate, really appreciate your work on this. I've just finished putting my old Jackson Randy Rhoads JRR-94 back together after 6 years apart. New SS frets, EMG 89 in the bridge and EMG 85 in the neck, knocking out some Megadeth is pretty high on my list of things to do right now. Happy New Year mate
Great work to start off the year, man!! Rust tops my metal album list and has some of the best riffs, some of them not for beginners, and, like you, I love the guitar tones in there! Awesome stuff!
This was fantastic! Great job, brother! I don’t know who the 17 morons are that disliked this, but IGNORE them because they OBVIOUSLY don’t know what they are talking about. Keep up the great work- I totally dig your videos.
The Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor kicks serious ass; I don’t have it personally installed, I only knew that it was installed in a geet in guitar center and it definitely felt like there was something boosted that the JB inherently lacked I like the JB, it can do anything, but I like how the thrash factor does the same just way more pissed off
By far one of my favorite albums and I love playing that Holy Wars main verse riff. So fun. So many great songs and riffs on that album though You did a killer job on the video brudda. Get cha pull!!! Threeeeeeeeee
Excellent job as always! My DSL20H is so fizzy on lower volumes. It has very annoying high and mid high frequencies that I couldn't handle even with a 10 EQ pedal. I bought a Harley Benton power attenuator, set amp volume on 4, high power mode on, changed EQ a bit and now it sounds great.
I seem to remember reading that he used an ADA preamp through an EL34 Marshall power unit, but it's been so long, that I can't say for sure. Good job on the video.

i think he used a SD DDJ in the bridge (sd distortion custom)
in this album (pre kv1 era and the rail pickup one (a guy made holy wars solo with that exact guitar)).
What kind of V is that? I know it's a Jackson but what's the model... the thing sound killer!

That tone is closer to Dave mustaines tone than Dave mustaine can get it.
He forgot the unbearable nasally singing
Doesn't help they play in D standard now. Hopefully his new alleged Gibson deal, his new guitars will sound better than the deans.

Probably. My argument to people that think Metallica is better is “probably, but Metallica doesn’t have Rust in Peace”.
