What a fantastic interview. So honest and open about what it's really like. I believe that you two guys are the best that has happened to Megadeth in a long time. I love your positive attitude and that you are 100% down to earth while playing in one of the greatest metal bands in history. Dystopia was a killer album and I know that the next one is going to be awesome. \m/
Kiko, do a vídeo with the roadies. Do a interview with the crew asking how they get a job at Megadeth or how they develop their careear at music bussines. Great job!
Dirk is such a charismatic and likeable guy. I'm sure you guys will be able to outdo the glorious previous album. Don't stop believing, hold on to your feelings!
FANTASTIC ADVICE. I feel my drawings aren't any good. I do enjoy them but not everyone does. The power to express yourself should be enough. The rest is a bonus. Thank you ;)
You two guys make it even easier being a Megadeth fan. I have been a huge fan for over thirty years, but since Dystopia came out I became a bigger fan than before. I am really loving this current lineup and in my opinion Dystopia is the best Megadeth album since Rust In Peace and this is this best lineup since the Rust In Peace lineup. I really look forward to the new Megadeth album.
The worst part of writing a song is to convince yourself that you wrote a good song. Sometimes, you're playing and you think the song you wrote is bad. Nice Video. It's good to know that we have tha same doubts, insecurities and fears.
Dirk has definitely one of the best feelings ever around. Such a nice and humble guy. Btw i loce his playing and absolutely miss him playing some heavy stuff.
The red light of paralysis is so true. When I record bands.. Sometimes I just tell the musician doing their part that we're just doing a warm up but I'm not recording. Sometimes magic can be caught this way. But it only works a few times then they catch on haha.
Thanks Kiko, Thanks Dirk. This record is like a son from 4 people, 4 fathers. All of you want the best. I understand you. It isnot easy. But this récord will awesome.
Is inspiring to see how the 1st guitarrist of megadeath can have insecurities about his own music.. Important thing is expresing yourself. Thanks kiko!
Una de las cosas que mas admiro de ustedes, ademas de ser grandes músicos, es que muestran cuales son sus errores, sus miedos, etc. Me encanta estos videos con Dirk, y sus reflexiones acerca de la vida en general. Se los quiere y extraña!
Thanks so much you two. Im a bedroom guitarist and have been playing for a long time now, but whenever i listen to some people on the internet or in music in general, i always think im not good enough to show someone my stuff, even though i enjoy what i play. To know that such great players still feel the same as me has made me feel better about my playing. So thank you :) Ive been a big fan of yours for a while now and what impresses me about you other than your beautiful guitar playing, is the humility you show, not a trace of im a big rock star Lol. Dont change Kiko and thanks for everything you do for your fans and for taking the time to help other people become better musicians.
Megadeth is always be Mustaine's band. So, every riff or melody must sound good to him before it is put on a song. Maybe Kiko will feel more relaxed when composing song when he is in his own band. Anyway, I love this Q&A because Kiko and Dirk are really cool. Their chemistry is also great.
Very good content, can you show on some level how the creative process works for you to compose? I am a composer, for example I always create a melody first and then start to fit a lyric on top finding words that translate the feeling that the harmonies of guitar are screaming
Dave Mustaine is Megadeth's main composer. It has always been the case. He writes the lyrics & the main riffs (some solos too). Kiko is the current 2nd guitarist in this band. His job is to echo/amplify/emphasize/respond to the rhythm parts and add solos parts. Not that it's easy...
The fact that these guys can make it in todays day and age, is awesome!!! Keep on keepin' on! Thick skin helps, everybody has an opinion, it's music!!!!!
Muito legal... coincidência que seu vídeo veio num momento em que estou escrevendo músicas e todos esses pensamentos e medo passam pela cabeça... deu um ar fresco de encorajamento... obrigado! PS: meu like foi o de número 1000...qual é o prêmio? kkk
Very good and interresting interview. I've found also difficult to sell and distribute the record when it is done, when you are an independant artist. If you have any tips on that it will be great. Many thanks guys and especially @Kiko Loureiro for all your refreshing and inspiring videos.
Kiko is the only Megadeth guitarist that has a (instrumental) song with just his solos, as opposed to trading off with Dave. That is how highly Dave thinks of him. And what a glorious track it is. (Conquer or Die). I can't wait to hear the new album.
AlwaysSomething I don’t think that’s the only song without a solo from Mustaine. If I remember correctly, symphony of destruction only has Friedman’s solos. And that’s just the one I remember now, there might be more songs that Dave doesn’t solo. But Kiko is immensely talented nonetheless, we Brazilians are really proud of him!
esse video foi otimo! mostra um pouco da realidade de vcs no estudio, certos dilemas no processo de criação/gravação, etc. fez com q eu me identificasse mto e de certa forma ajuda a nós, musicos, nos mantermos estimulados.
Kiko, thanks for the great video and for such a honest and open- hearted answer. This is something that we "mere mortals" can learn a lot from. I wish you and megadeth lots of success with this new album.
Creating songs can take me forever, so many different possibilities and ways to attack things, eventually I just have to be happy with something. It's hard to compete with legendary Guitar Hero's. Composing a masterpiece is hard work but playing it live is the fun stuff.
Dystopia foi uma surpresa pra mim, na minha opinião é o melhor trabalho do Megadeth até hoje. As composições ficaram ótimas, a voz do Mustaine em um tom menos agudo ficou muito melhor, os solos não preciso comentar (fantásticos), partes no violão ficaram muito boas, e a bateria destruidora.
Entrevistas com o Dave e com o Dirk: feitas! Já que seria estranho (e engraçado) tentar entrevistar você mesmo, só falta um integrante do Megadeth (se ele estiver bem de saúde, que é o que todos esperamos)... :) (plot twist: ele entrevista toda a equipe envolvida diretamente com a banda (roadies, técnicos, produtores etc.), só pra deixar com mais expectativa)
Please guys, the next has to be a least as good as Dystopia. (no pressure) We need many mean solos and heavy and aggressive riffs. I feel like this album could turn out to be within the best 5 albums of the discography with the current terrific line-up. Good work guys, I'm looking forward to hearing at least a song soon. Thanks!
Oq vcs falaram sobre a sociedade levar um tempo para admirar o artista aconteceu comigo e o Angra. Passei anos achando o Aurora e o Aqua ruins. Agora curto muito os 2 e acho que precisei amadurecer para apreciar a música. Muito louco isso.
Kiko, as a fellow lefty playing right handed guitars, could you talk about the problems you encountered while learning guitar, and how you approached both right hand and left hand development ( what you focused on, or what you wish you focused on more )? Thanks in advance, and good luck with new Megadeth album! :)
I am a lefty too on a right handed guitar. During my early days learning the guitar, I also taught my right hand to write in cursive. It helped my playing a lot.
Legendas a caminho... Aproveita e me fala aqui o que vc consegue entender do inglês. Aproveita e treina!! : )
Um dia quero conhecer você :)
Mano, vc fala inglês bem pra cacete dá pra entender perfeitamente
BOA! hahaha
Consigo entender 😁
Consigo entender tranquilo

Agree!
Dirk is really a nice dude!
He looks like a skinny cliff burton
Kiko, do a vídeo with the roadies. Do a interview with the crew asking how they get a job at Megadeth or how they develop their careear at music bussines.
Great job!
That'd be amazing
2:12 Kiko, oh Kiko. No, no, no. You are the best!
4:54 Yes you are good enough, Kiko. Yes, you are!
..and I love how Dirk is always smiling.
Dirk is such a charismatic and likeable guy. I'm sure you guys will be able to outdo the glorious previous album. Don't stop believing, hold on to your feelings!

Dancing With Your Fears... tá aí um bom título....
Achei a mesma coisa!!!!!!!!🤘🏻
Meu deus! Pensei isso hahhaah
Será esse o nome do próximo álbum solo do Kiko? 🤔
Nome fantástico
Dance of eternity this is a great name
It looks like you guys have a great relationship. This is why the band is so successful!
I don't know why but I feel some positive vibe everytime I do watch these guys talking.
Totally normal, down to earth rockers here. Very refreshing
Two of the most wholesome people in metal :)
o Dirk é um cara que cativou meu respeito e admiração! literalmente ele parece ser o cara mais legal do planeta, além de ser um monstro na batera!
The red light of paralysis is so true. When I record bands.. Sometimes I just tell the musician doing their part that we're just doing a warm up but I'm not recording. Sometimes magic can be caught this way. But it only works a few times then they catch on haha.
I made that question! I can’t believe you made an entire video talking about it! I’m in shock right now. I admire you guys sooooo muuuuuuch
Thanks Kiko, Thanks Dirk. This record is like a son from 4 people, 4 fathers. All of you want the best. I understand you. It isnot easy. But this récord will awesome.

Lead*
I'm just gonna say it. This is THE best lineup of Megadeth. Kiko and Dirk are such nice guys and talented musicians.
Marty and Nick are untouchable
I'm working on my first EP at the moment… so that's quite cool to hear your take on this !! Thanks !
Thanks. I hope little answer like this can make a good impact on your creative flow.
@@kikoloureiroofficial it does! keep 'em coming !
Dirk seems to be a great guy to have in a band, very talented and with a good vibe.
Una de las cosas que mas admiro de ustedes, ademas de ser grandes músicos, es que muestran cuales son sus errores, sus miedos, etc. Me encanta estos videos con Dirk, y sus reflexiones acerca de la vida en general. Se los quiere y extraña!
Dirk tinha que ter um canal de auto-ajuda. O cara consegue enxergar sempre o lado bom de tudo, invejável (de uma boa maneira).
Thanks so much you two. Im a bedroom guitarist and have been playing for a long time now, but whenever i listen to some people on the internet or in music in general, i always think im not good enough to show someone my stuff, even though i enjoy what i play.

Kiko sempre trazendo conteúdos incríveis... Parabéns, mestre!
Obrigado!!
Só sinto arrependimento por não ter visto essa conversa antes haha papo sensacional!
E mano, não sabia que o Dirk era tão fofo! hahaha
These videos are legendary. Literally invaluable insight
Fantastic Kiko for sharing your experience through out the time and giving encouragement to the beginners musicians..Love ❤️ from MANIPUR 🙏
Kiko fala sobre quando você foi surfar com o Rafael Bitencourt e quebrou a clavícula e depois fez os ensaios só no tapping kkkkkk
Man, Dirk sounds a lot like Ray Romano, the comedian!
Great video, by the way!
Cheers from Brasil!
Kiko- love the humility you bring to your videos- great content, and advice!
Valeu por compartilhar essas dicas Kiko, o Dirk parece ser muito gente boa!
I love these 2 guys in Megadeth!!
They bring out the best in the 2 Daves!!
😍😍😍
Two very intelligent human beings. Hello from Australia !!
Great content, Kiko! Love these videos and your perspective. :-)
Megadeth is always be Mustaine's band. So, every riff or melody must sound good to him before it is put on a song. Maybe Kiko will feel more relaxed when composing song when he is in his own band.
Anyway, I love this Q&A because Kiko and Dirk are really cool. Their chemistry is also great.
You are my biggest inspiration at guitar and i hope to meet you someday.
É Isso aí tesouro . Bravo , bravo , bravicimo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Felicitaciones! Son grandes músicos!

Hi Kiko! I have a silly question: How do you know when a riff or theme or song is "Album worthy" ?? As always greetings from Argentina!
Fernando Angelico If *you* like it and think it’s good , then it’s good! :)
@@rodrigog5654 i guess so. But as Kiko said maybe your favorite and beat idea doesnt work for Megadeth. But i get your point. Cheers!
If Dave likes it then it's in, if he doesn't then it's not on the album

Thanks for the answer it will help me later!! 🔥🔥👍
Mdr
Nossa!!
Agradeço muito se tiver legendas.
Vai me ajudar pra caramba😉

Love when you upload! 🤘
Vraiment une excellente vidéo, très instructive et très intéressante et bien faite. Vous allez au fond des choses, c'est génial. Vivement la prochaine
Great video, nice fluid, honest conversation!
Thank you for sharing this. It’s good to know that even the bests have this kind of fear!
Thank you for doing this kiko!!
When can we expect a riff tease or drum fill? With both of you on this record there’s gonna be a real great sound, I need it.
Max Otto Yes I know! I mean besides that one :)
Kiko, thanks for the great video and for such a honest and open- hearted answer. This is something that we "mere mortals" can learn a lot from. I wish you and megadeth lots of success with this new album.
always great to hear from you guys... these answers always hit home to many of us. Thanks so much and I'm looking forward to the new album.
Love you guys!!!
Great video. Thanks Kiko your videos are an inspiration!
Great video guys! Love all your videos Kiko!

Valeu Kiko, abraço!
🇧🇷👍🍀👏☝👍❤
Creating songs can take me forever, so many different possibilities and ways to attack things, eventually I just have to be happy with something. It's hard to compete with legendary Guitar Hero's. Composing a masterpiece is hard work but playing it live is the fun stuff.
Vou esperar sair a legenda em português,assisti a primeira entrevista com ele e gostei muito...
Well said...great answers
greetings from Indonesia Kiko! and dirk too!
Dá pra entender de boa. Dirk parece ser um cara muito tranquilo :)
Guys, no need to worry. You got this!🥁🎸🎙
Manuel Garcia The metronone with long sticks?
enjoying your videos
Legend 🔥🔥

Los mejores músicos de sesión!
Kiko, your solo albums are all full of good ideas ;)
Kiko you are amazing!
Vídeo excelente!
Very helpful video. Thx!!! Im a home-producer and rockstar aspirant too xd

i think internet is full of great guys who can perform very well, execute very well, but to be an artist, is a completely different thing
You guys are the best !!
How is a song basically composed? Do you all guys share your ideas and do a mix of the best of them? Thanks for another great video Kiki and Dirk!🤘🏽🎶
Dirk is a beast drummer
Please guys, the next has to be a least as good as Dystopia. (no pressure) We need many mean solos and heavy and aggressive riffs. I feel like this album could turn out to be within the best 5 albums of the discography with the current terrific line-up. Good work guys, I'm looking forward to hearing at least a song soon. Thanks!

Waiting impatiently :)))
You rock, Kiko

Se é difícil pra vc, imagina para nós outros
The hardest thing is faze um esforço pra participar dos Angra fest com a galera!!!kkkkkk...like ;)

O baterista parece ser uma pessoa muito legal. Nos vídeos a gente tem outra impressão.
