Return to Metalopolis (Chris Poland)

[Pfletch83]

Dave said that chris was a way better player on behind the music so he gets respect from Dave.

[malvern666]

This is awesome

[xoxgodofgodsgodxx]

This entire song sounds like any one piece can belong in one of Megadeth's funky breaks.

The riffs are amazing, and definitely can fit it with Dave's style, meanwhile holding up as a great song on its own.

Great job Mr. Poland. Fuck yeah

[swordcollection]

Me: These fucking fucking figures from these fucking piano pieces for guitars are an impossible streach!

Chris Poland: Lol, the fucker doesn't have a severed tendon ;)

[Videostar1another1fa]

OMG this is heavy!

[LipstickFlash]

chris poland should have made more albums like this. some of the other stuff is a bit to jazz fusion for me.

[coolprsn86]

The main riff reminds me of Megadeth

[Videostar1another1fa]

@coolprsn86 Of course.

[EddieVH666]

Chris is an amazing player and after I heard what he was doing with his new band ohm I had to check this out. Definetely reminiscent of his megadeth days which I loved as megadeth are one of my favorite bands and what he added to that band was something very unique

[JDanK45]

hah its funny cus even the most underground underatted ppl are better than alot of metallica songs..lol its just hillarious to me that ppl are so ignorant and dedicated to lameness

[Videostar1another1fa]

@JDanK45 Chris Poland aint that undergorund and he isnt better than Kirk anyway,he is great but he wasnt the best in his own band.

[svenzia]

@Videostar1another1fa Its amatter of taste i suppose. Poland is far superior in my book.But thats me.

[Tarkess]

@Videostar1another1fa Kirk is great and all, but he has absolutely NOTHING on Poland. He wouldn't be able to play half the stuff on PSBWB.

[Videostar1another1fa]

@Tarkess Haha,nobody can play some of those bends besides Poland,he has a broken tendon on his index that allows him to stretch in weird ways.

[completebastard]

One of the greatest (and most underrated) guitar albums ever. I've played the hell out of this and it never gets old.

Little known fact: Chris actually intended this album to have vocals, but after hearing the demo the record execs insisted on releasing it as is because it was so good. :)

[worldalvin]

BADASS

[nikitas007metal]

This guy was on megadeth right?

[Videostar1another1fa]

@nikitas007metal Yerah,from 84 to 86

[Studas2006]

His Brother is one hell of a drummer

[Videostar1another1fa]

@Studas2006 Wait,isnt Gar Samuelson playing here?

[gnsumas]

@Videostar1another1fa It's Chris' brother I think

[svenzia]

@Videostar1another1fa I really hope so. Awesome drummer.

[Studas2006]

fucking tight and also hazy in a good way. Chris, you legend you.

[MegaDave77]

6,666 views :O

[BurningYourSkinOff]

holy shit thumbs up

[narfire214]

i will give anybody ten bucks (not really) if they could cover this song because if tried tabing it myself but the part at 0:36-0:41 requires freakishly long stretch with the 1st finger and its nearly impossible do that unless your like chris and have a severed tendon in that finger

[DimitriVHefley]

@narfire214 Check out my page, I covered the song...not completely accurately, but decent.

[narfire214]

@DimitriVHefley just posted my own version, i saw yours and it was good

[6396Harry]

what scales are used on this album?

[alsharpton666]

@6396Harry approximately 894394732067848959732657360682­957846375329568070964 different ones.

[98DESTRUCTION]

@6396Harry alot haha sorry bro kind of a dumb question what does it matter anyway?

[SuperWyatt14]

love the guitar sound at 1:13

[sexymanjdj]

Can you say "Bark at the Moon'?

[98DESTRUCTION]

@sexymanjdj can you not say anything?

[xXxBuLLeTxXx1]

@98DESTRUCTION his name is sexymanjdj haha hes prolly gay

[uhokstupid]

@sexymanjdj can you say no.

[vboy13]

i would have liked to have seen mustaine's face after listening to this the first time

[Threemicsrecords]

@vboy13 me too.

[Megadedly]

@vboy13 Mustaine held him back I think, as much as I like Megadeth...I mean look at my name.

[extrm12323]

@vboy13 I love mustaines work, but i hoped he crapped his pants!

[ryankazm]

@vboy13 I think his face would have reflected the though "rust in peace is so much better than this" although this is still an awesome album

[bkr1997]

@vboy13 maybe he'll say ''he's good,but he's still a liar,liar,a fucking liar '' ;d

[vboy13]

a benchmark in guitar playing

his vibrato/legato/blues feel is unfuckwithable

[DimitriVHefley]

@vboy13 Definitely, so fuckin underrated, check out Wendellis Place...man... Chris Poland is so fuckin amazing... it makes me sad to think how underrated he is but to me he is the best there is.

[MrStephenTaylor]

even though gar isn't drumming i can still hear his music

Poland once said "everythiny i do in music is what i've learned from Gar"

[DimitriVHefley]

@MrStephenTaylor Gar and Chris..an unbeatable underrated duo. So talented.

[98DESTRUCTION]

@DimitriVHefley amen.

[twojemytoes]

Mark Poland is an awesome drummer but it just makes me sad when i hear him with chris cause all i think of is My main man The FUCKING king Gar Samuelson 

[ecxpac]

I was recently fortunate enough to grab myself the original Enigma release (unremastered, the way it should be) of this CD for a cheap price, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made--this BADASS song alone makes the album worth any price, and that's not even disregarding the 9 other awesome tracks on it.

Poland is a beast.

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

You guys could probably get this cd on ebay

[BogdanKGB]

hello. his ex band new yorkers has relased something because i'd love to hear gar robert and chris together.

[Power2theFlyingV]

\m/ Chris Poland is the best. Awesome riffage.

[ultimatemegadeath]

i envy the people who got the reissue. "30 Day Due" and "The Heavy Guitar Jam" are on it. I'm goin to have to go listen to them now!

[TestAmenT12341]

I met Chris last Saturday. He was such a cool dude and one phenominal guitar player. i was sooo start struck

[NinjaRunningWild]

Best Megadeth guitarist.

[EvanMcMillan]

@NinjaRunningWild for sure, i'd say one of the best, but the new chris is a master and cant be beat, i love poland feel and emotion and style though

[NinjaRunningWild]

@EvanMcMillan Can't be beat in what way? He may be more technically proficient, but music isn't about how many notes you can play in any given span of time. It's about the subtleties in timing and notes that give music it's feel. Chris Poland has that in spades beyond what any other Megadeth guitarist, with the very close (obvious) second being Marty Friedman, has.

[Metal1ap]

This is a pretty heavy song. CHRIS POLAND RULEZ!!!!!

[Megathrax84]

who wants to get a petition or something to get this re released?

[MercutioUK2006]

@Megathrax84

You can still get the CD from Lion music. I thought it was out of print but happily I was wrong about that :)

[ProphetDavidicus]

Thanks alot for uploadin man it means alot

it makes a bad day feel real cool

[Megathrax84]

thanks for the info.

[ultimatemegadeath]

@MercutioUK2006 , there are several copies for sale on amazon too!

[angsdad]

[metalh3dd]

[JonRattlehead]

@Megathrax84 Im with ya lets do it.

[98DESTRUCTION]

@Megathrax84 god yer a fucking idiot! Do u know how fucking stupid u sound

[Studas2006]

Great tune and artist!

[johnh32156]

I hit the jackpot on this one. It sounds great! I had this on tape years ago and I played that thing until it was kaput. This sure brings back memories. Thankyou very much for posting!

[MercutioUK2006]

You're welcome! Chris is still one of my favourite players and I keep listening to this even now :)

[MercutioUK2006]

@johnh32156

No worries! Check out Lion Music as I just told Megathraz - you can still get this album apparently!

[biostar111]

awsome man

[MercutioUK2006]

The CD has been out of print for a while so its probably going to be hard to track down I'm afraid - you could try second hand record dealers.

I bought it when it was released in 2002(I also have the original Vinyl from 1992) so I just uploaded these few files.

[Orbit91]

Much better quality than the other ones uploaded on YouTube, good job =)

[MercutioUK2006]

Yeah, that was the idea - thanks for noticing :)

[relicpwn]

Whered you get the CD? Or files?

I tried to look for em on the internet but couldnt find
