He's not playing the main riffs correctly. Also he upstrokes a lot when he should be sticking to downstrokes. But fuck he can solo well. The solos weren't exactly like the album, but damn close, and well played too.
@MrWholewheat Wasnt it dave himself that said he DISLIKED upstroke picking? and ill agree... solos do sound were a bit off but i dont think it matters... it was almost perfectly clean..
@fishinandjeepin Not sure what you mean about Dave disliking "upstroke" picking. If you mean alternate (up/down) instead of straight downstrokes, then... must have been an old quote. Watch Mustaine the last few years and he's THE laziest guitarist in metal. Where he used to all down picking chugs, he's slacking off and alternate picking everything. Watch the Metallica 30th stuff with him. Lazy.
As for Andy, the guy is a BEAST, but yea, he's not playing the rhythm right at all.
@MultiBadboy666 Not in a major way, no, but it did feature on some songs pre-Black (Battery is the first that comes to mind but there are other songs).
I probably should have mentioned talent wise. In performance Kirk is sloppy and below average at best. He basically hides every solo he used to be able to do behind wah. Yeah, they're getting old, but I mean age doesn't excuse laziness.
Sorry for the paragraph. BTW: Metallica is actually my favorite band.
I think holy wars is one of the most difficult songs to play on a guitar. I haven't heard a single video on youtube which even comes close to the original. Even Dave Mustaine and gang is not so accurate when playing it live.
@jacksonhammy dissing Andy James is like smacking the devil himself in the face. The day of judgement will come my friend.... and you shall be first on his list.
Bleh. The guy's got technical skill, but it feels like he just looked up some bad tabs online, and then went, "Ok, let me see how I can simultaneously suck all the character out of the solos, and play the rhythm badly."
@drewswing of course, I'm only commenting on the first bit, where he's going down to the 12th fret for stuff on the E string, when he should be going for the 7th on the A string.... I can't comment on the rest of the vid cos I haven't watched it... but the first bit is wrong unfortunately
@rmcguss Well you expect this guy to have feeling when he plays this when he does for a living? I would be bored of doing covers all the time too.and of course its not gonna be exact unless he got lessons from Dave or Marty on how to play this.
@CrackinCrew why should i? any person with a brain and whos seen megadeth live and has seen dave mustaine play this solo live would know hes playing it wrong. suck my dick and fuck off douche bag
@Miittle Nope man, it is minor chord. The clean solo part is in the key of E minor (or at least something close to it...). You can hear it in the beginning of the solo where he plays the tonic (E) the minor third (G) and the fifth (B). Hope this helps. And sorry for my bad english :S.
@rourke069 I don't know, dude, it just really seems to me that he changes the key in the middle of that clean part from E minor to E major (or something close to it xD). Don't worry about your english, it's fine. ;)
@frifasS at playin other peoples stuff its harder to write your own music so he might not be able to make a song for his life. we dont kno but just sayin
He's not playing it wrong you dumbass -.- i don't know if you know this, but you can find the notes in different places in the guitar's arm (for example, you can find an A in the 5th freth of the E string, OR you go 1 string below, and voilá you got another A). That's what he's doing
He's making the omg i jizzed my pants facial expressions! Other than that ugly mug it was flawless! Bravo *clapping*
