Megadeth - Soundcheck in Birmingham (1990)

[NewGamer101]

I find it facinating that I enjoy watching soundcheck videos.

[NewGamer101]

Too slow... lol

[KITTYLICKLICK94]

they have the best live sound ever.

daves bass si so great through my headphones. fucking amazing.

[dflp2024]

[OspaJe]

[Esau2507]

@OspaJe Tornado of Souls

[OspaJe]

@Esau2507 gracias pero no es tornado es diferente :)

[Esau2507]

@OspaJe Entonces creo que escuche mal y es el solo de Lucretia

[pancrasio666]

Lucretia c:

[iDOMAXVLOG]

lo que me gusta es que a Elefson le encantan las letras de las canciones y aunque no le toque cantar lo hace mientras toca

[AldridgeHalenFreak]

Oh...Interesting..

I saw some videos of them on that TV show in Japan with that cute japanise girl. They were playing guitar games "Play that tune"? Sure seemed like Paul spoke Japanise pretty well. Then that cute Japanise girl speaks english real straight as well. Interesting.....Was the Kelly Jackson explorers a Marty Friedman model?

[MrMethadrine]

i noticed that this is their favorite soundcheck song...

[knikk77]

I wish Lady Gaga etc could make a video of her sound check... Bet you there is none... playback...

[olaf94NL]

the thing they're playing at 2:18 -- 2:56, is that from a song? it sounds so great!

[altumpaul]

cool a video with marty friedman before he became a megadeth denying pussy

[vivelehardcore]

@altumpaul i dont even what happend with nick and marty can you tell me if you know

[NotoriousYeshi]

@vivelehardcore Long story short, Marty quit Megadeth, and now has a decent solo career and lives in Japan.Menza, well he was fired, rehired when Dave was putting Megadeth back together, and then replaced for Shawn Drover because according to Mustaine he wasnt prepared to drum for megadeth, wasnt in playing shape, so he was replaced..word out there is Menza was a Meth head, and by the recent looks of it, its might be true, video of Menza from a year or two ago he looks unrecognizable

[vivelehardcore]

@NotoriousYeshi thanks apreciate the time you put to tell me

THRASH FOR LIFE

[NotoriousYeshi]

@vivelehardcore ur Welcome

[AldridgeHalenFreak]

@NotoriousYeshi I wonder if Marty had radiation problems within the last year in Japan. Interesting how he and Paul Gilbert speak Japanise fluently.

Nice country unless your sick from radiation within an area.

[ausdrifter]

@AldridgeHalenFreak

Id hardly call Paul Gilbert fluent, Marty speaks it much better

[childofthegrave100]

nick menza looks like a blind man in these glasses!!!!!!!!!!!

[imakazero]

hey what song was this?

[alanguadarrama95]

@imakazero Five magics

[alanguadarrama95]

@imakazero Sorry never mind its lucretia ^.^

[thespleenfiend]

Marty's face at: 0:31 is fucking amazing.

[x16CloUd16x]

Why did Nick really have to leave =(

[lovestospooge646]

was nick at one point playing Criminally Insane by slayer? o.O

[ronniea7x]

shit THAT speeddddddddd marty :D AWESOme

[parafleet]

I don't get off at all. Everything is dull to me. One.

I respect this music. I respect all music..even flatulence. Two.

My expressed-opinion was a momentary emotionally dramatic rise in temper. It wasn't meant to humiliate this music, these musicians, or its/their admirers. Three.

Your use of the word "fag" makes me wonder if you have ever been to Australia or carried a bundle of sticks on your back in Elizabethan England.

[larsdermeta]

in Minute 4 : 16

what group is the t-shirt??

it's thrash?

[dusted04]

@larsdermeta who gives a fuck what they wear its about the music

[larsdermeta]

@dusted04 Man! I love thrash metal and i love music

i'm interesting in all about megadeth and if elfellferson have got a strange t-shirt of a rare group, i want to know and listen it

Not is a problem man!

Have you got any problem?

[PureFuckinHeavyMetal]

@larsdermeta i think it says Insanity, but i cant find any videos of them :/ but it certainly looks like a thrash metal style logo

[larsdermeta]

@PureFuckinHeavyMetal Yeah man! the t-shirt its atomica!

Thanxs A lot!

[luisjosito95]

0:43 nick is doing criminally insane by slayer

[MetalMarvels]

did marty try to do a dave mustaine snarl at 1:58?

[9erMatthew]

@MetalMarvels Yu know....He probably did! XD

[kaliaev]

Thx for this vid ! I love Ellefson's sound.This was their best lineup ever !

[weightsRUS]

0:35 "should i start trying now?"

[PlayableJackson]

the vocals are to low same thing happen 20 years later when i saw them for the redo of this tour haha

[OosGuitar]

what is the very first song?

[SIZZLEBIZZLE1982]

Menza's wearing a Misfits shirt! My 1st concert was Megadeth and the Misfits on the Cryptic Writings tour!!

[tomdanx]

Go Junior with that tapping!

[xSnoweyexp]

Marty's hair can kill a man !!

[Stojan75]

Marty is a mean guitar player, but he looks like a sheep...

[nothinghappens1]

@Stojan75 I was thinking that he looks more like a french poodle, but now that you say it is true, he looks more like a sheep ha ha.

[IronGaz]

Lol Marty makes playing the guitar so fucking easy. He could be sherdding and have this boring look on his face like " so yeah...whts going on? Oh this? ahh this nothing Im just sherdding" Hahaha.

[southparkfan432]

I don't like the sound of marty's guitar, it's weird, but don't get me wrong, marty is one of the best guitarists i've seen in my life

[qaz121212]

2:38 Fuck yes the bass tapping part from Take No Prisoners!

[Statiknull]

marty is a showoff

[CaitlynU]

@Statiknull

If you could play guitar like he does, of course you would be !

[xk1994]

@Statiknull You wouldnt have it any other way.

[TheSuperLTD]

Love this lineup \m/ David Ellefson is god ]\/[EGADET]-[

[MetalDrummer665]

0:47 Nick starts playing playing Criminally Insane by Slayer!

[crazyerko]

I wish I could play like nick or marty

[theplayboy85]

5:52 that tall guy was the only person working there!!!

the rest were just listening Megadeth! lol

[metalliclark86]

nick menza best megadeth drums!!

[Deathwish874]

1) See a Megadeth/Dave Mustaine video.

2) Check it out.

3) Scroll down.

4) 8 comments about Metallica.

5) *facepalm*

[MaggotSoldier666]

@Deathwish874

Sad but true.

Ahhh, shit.

[loco4201]

i miss this old line-up *sniff* im glad i got to see them when i did, general admission right up on the guard rail between marty and dave it was the best shit ever!! watching marty play all those awesome solos standing like 5 feet away from him... good times...

[davinic94]

which song is marty friedman playing?

[hoang1428]

@davinic94 he was improvising

[rockermetalhead1200]

1:48 What is that Marty and Nick are playing? Or are they are just messin around

[Morrito4ever]

@rockermetalhead1200 Just messin around is a improvisation marty knows how to improvise good

[Kidnapper89]

It's a shame that so big band like megadeth sounded... quite cheap. Guitars are dry and bass drum sounds like paper box. This is fucking 4000$ yamaha kit! WTF?

[Schpudd]

@Kidnapper89 that's because its 1990 and compressed... not overly processed bs these days. it's raw

[Baugin1]

@Schpudd Right, maybe thats why I like it. I like this raw sound..and I´m an old rocker...

[rockermetalhead1200]

1:34 Sounds like Marty was shredding Tornado of Souls

[gnrfan098]

@rockermetalhead1200 lucretia

[rockermetalhead1200]

@gnrfan098 Oh, thank you for correcting me. I sometimes get those two solos a little mixed because they almost in the same key

[suBwaH]

@rockermetalhead1200 its lucretia!

[DJey29]

3 Days after i was born!!!

[xXxBuLLeTxXx1]

lmao at 1:55-2:05 marty looks pissed haha hes like "STOP CHANGING THE BEAT" ha

[DinoScalese]

1:34 :)

[domlikesmegadeth]

1:16 almost sounds like Addicted to Chaos

[martinfavento]

13.10.1990..that was my birth date! :)

[mtincho08]

marty is the best

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

Marty is a shredder, so he wails

[Dazsturbed]

Marty fuckin' rips!

[aligatorsandwitch72]

And dave is off consuming copious amounts of heroin.

[9erMatthew]

0:16 - Ready?...

0:18 - Set?!...

0:20- GOOOO!!! I love how Marty totally kicks on like super speed there.

[travnic11]

ughhh damn marty's picking hand is insane!!!

[cnarro890]

marty is the happiest guy on earth

[manancikkt]

allthough jacksons are fairly small guitars they look so big on marty

[Budokid]

@manancikkt the kelly is not really a small guitar

[manancikkt]

@Budokid i tried one...and for me it was kinda small

[AlwaysSomething]

You Faux fans suck ass! While most of you dropped off after CTE, real fans enjoyed all the great music Megadeth kept making. And only recently have you fucks come back bec Megadeth is trashing it up again.You have no say, no rights to your shitty opinions. When you go and buy all those albums that weren't "thrashy" enough, when you think they "sucked", bec it wasn't RIP again, then have a say. Till then, go be fake fans with some other band.

[ridethelightning64]

@AlwaysSomething Dude...I love Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings, but Risk sucked dick, and then all the albums after that were good, and most of the fans here, I'm guessing their opinions will match mine, so, how is it "Faux"?

[hyper12233]

If I had all that all that equipment, I'd be jamming like them with my friends everyday. =D

[tozkan98]

What's the song from 1:50 ?

[cdrpnt2007]

@tozkan98 502 from so far so good so what album i think

[DethKlokateer]

6:30 "and your friends all say dave your mental anyway " ... "hey." "dundendunle"

[anchorman632]

Its amazing how they even managed to play so well as this was at the height of their drug usage.

[hoang1428]

@anchorman632 actually i think around this time Mustaine experienced alot of near death experiences so they lowered down on drug usage ALOT.

[JonArcher1113]

Menza's wearin' a Misfits shirt!! awesome =D

[guysofhell]

Go DAVE!!

[mikem376]

1:59 pause.

A Friedman snarl lol

[dirdydraws]

Mustaine has his cock in YOUR mouth asshole!

[Peashant2142]

Firedman plays so fucking well you can't never say when is he improvising or playing a real song...fuck!

[fullmetaldg]

Nick Menza es el mejor baterista de la historia....

[CodyKillz15]

Friedman's picking hand looks so frickin weird.. He plays good tho

[wisesatyr72]

Sweet ass Jacksons..still too expensive for me

[Somis54]

dave your mental anyways

HEYYY

[Nightwishfann]

Beste Megadeth line up to date:

Dave Mustaine

Marty Friedman

David Ellefson

Nick Menza

[slayer1587]

Marty's guitar tones are like sex........

[aallee6]

i would pay 10 000 dollars for a ticket to a megadeth concert..but with marty. i know pay like 200 :)

[avalosthrashin]

damn when marty plays it looks like the vid is sped up!!

[Fendershred50]

lol marty's solos are incredible but a bit ignorant of the drums haha

[zhn0k]

i wonder how much coke they snorted that day

[joeymvanostrand]

@zhn0k - Heroin homie.  Straight in the veins. Hate to say it, but THIS was their heyday! All junkied up. And I am a HUGE Megadeth fan! I got to see them on this tour in Syracuse NY and Holy Dogshit!! There were f%*&#$g AWESOME!

[napalman21]

el mejor baterista de megadeth fue nick menza. solo el le pone ese "sabor" a la bateria............la verdad el estilo de shawn drover no me gusta, demasiado....simple

[martinkenadams]

@napalman21 es verdad......no le pone garra drover.....hace todo re simple, sin corazon, sin esfuerzo, y uno lo ve en vivo y dice "para que toca entonces? no le gusta?".......menza al tope...y desp de grasso la rompia tamb

[Morain42]

yea for sure the best album ever made

[Blinkitiboop]

Rust In Peace Just The Best Disc And Line Up!

[bukofezra]

this was the best lineup ever for megadeth....marty freak'n rocks.....

[oscar1901]

sounds better than studio

[mattman1127]

Okay, I'm not gay, but Dave and.. Dave have beautiful hair.

[FreakofFury]

@mattman1127 LOL....Well you know they been farming that hair since the early 80's.But look at Friedmans rats nest...lol

[Vestu]

Marty <3 best metal guitarist and has a great life in japan. I envy him.

[fckugler]

what is the first song?

[watt3256]

ELLEFSON IS A BEAST!!!!!!

[uhokstupid]

voyager71390 its because hes palm muting.

[jonesey5168]

@4:23 - tasty

[suzuki15]

hey!

[anahowana]

2:00:dry dynamic tight distortion!!!!

[PearlJammer07]

Never seen a sound check by this band. Man they kicked ass back in the old days. The later Megadeth catalog is good. Dave stayed true to the bands roots for the most part. He did not ratically change the sound of the band like James and Bob Rock with Metallica.

[RFB480]

Even you liked this one, then you neeed to check out the Five Magics soundcheck video. It's awesome

[PearlJammer07]

@RFB480 Will do. Thank you for the advice!

[mikem376]

Shut it, both of them have.

Poser.

[PearlJammer07]

@mikem376 Wow, you are a moron if you think Metallica has stayed true to their roots. You must have a low IQ. If anything it is you who is the poser. I know what good music is. Megadeth and Metallica 4 life!

[mikem376]

You said ]v[egadet]-[ have never changed anything.

RISK

THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO

So that tells me you dont know what youre talking about.

THRAAAAASHHHHED

[PearlJammer07]

@mikem376 Risk was a big change in Megadeths sound. It was an odd direction for the band to go. Marty had something to do witht that. Risk was an okay album. Def not my fav MD album. The first 4 albums were the band at their best.

[mikem376]

Same thing with MetallicA

But ]v[egadet]-[ and MetallicA both changed their sounds a bit

]v[egadet]-['s=5 and 6

MetallicA's=5

then they went a totally different direction

MetallicA's=6

]v[egadet]-['s=7

[woodlandmac]

@PearlJammer07 LOL at he did not change his sound radically, you obviously stopped listening to them after Rust In Peace

[jian2069]

@PearlJammer07 are you kidding me did you hear risk or cryptic writings? personally i like them but they definitely radically changed the sound

[PearlJammer07]

@jian2069 Cryptic and Risk was a change in sound for sure. I enjoy listening to Cryptic more than Risk.

[mikem376]

Ssshhh.

[meridiano976]

@PearlJammer07 Dave did not change?? WTF?!

Many albums during the last 15 years sounds POP!

IMHO the band Megadeth died with Countdown to Extinction... saving a couple of tracks from Youthanasia...

But it's easy to face the problem... I just consider 4 albums of them ;-)

[metalisawsom3]

@PearlJammer07 ever heard the album Trust? ya he changed the sound. metallica changed every album anyway so people should have expected change.

[skaterobban]

@PearlJammer07 dont blame the fuckin music change on bob rock hes just the producer. its all james and lars... and kirk coming out of the closet

[Ollmeister]

@PearlJammer07 metallica didn't have half the 'sound' of megadeth and i don't mind them changing theirs, i just don't listen to the new stuff, the only band that has put out an album (lately) that stays true to the original sound of the band is Testament

[JP10022]

what the fuck does he use at 0:21

[nibowill]

lol

the guy at 2:43 looks like gar samuelson

[mikem376]

Dude you should see Marty at the end of the Hangar 18 video in the cryogenic chamber.

It looks just like Gar.

[werbnnerf]

@nibowill

That guy is huge!! Did you see how much he towers over David ellefson??

[THEfender1998]

@nibowill Are you sure that he isn't Gar Samuelson :-D

[mitchwheelz]

God is Marty ever amazing!

[voyager71390]

hmm i notice that marty is strumming normally at 1:50 and when he goes into solo mode at 2:11 he changes his finger position

[jelloz]

marty always played like that, for some reason he holds his pick in that weird way everytime he solos/shreds and plays chords normally.

[voodooglowskull]

dam' it, man; this kind of footage was so hard to get during the 80s and 90s; bloody Hel....cool stuff.

[PearlJammer07]

It is amazing what people on the internet can provide for one another. Which makes me wonder what happened to all the old posts Megadeth did back in 1997 on their official website.

[nonbass]

Love these guys!

[TUCKERMCGRAW]

martys no longer in megadeth lol

[regan98]

Marty Friedman is a best quitarist on MEGADETH. JEBANY WIRTUOZ.

[zozoh]

guy sniffing coke 1:34 lol, an awesome jam by one of my favorite bands

[ToxikWaltz]

i wonder if he ever played some some cacophony stuff during their sound checks for a bit of craic

[ericmhanks]

I'm sure. It's not like Dave made him permanently erase any previous music he ever mad from his memory. As much as would have loved that, it just isn't possible.

[matias7anriquez]

men please dont missunderstood me

i LOOVE MEGADETH but damned i have to admit that the only gifted player on it was marty men, such a shame, and anyone that knows a bit bout music would know this

and yeah .. ellefson suck so bad at bass

[FemmePhatal]

i agree marty is good but he isnt the only one that was gifted

[matias7anriquez]

on megadeth? cmon duude tell who's else was then and why ? :S

and trust me i love the band ;)

[FemmePhatal]

Mustaine

well you just dont get that kind of music nowadays it was something that he did that made the music unique

[matias7anriquez]

allright but that doest make a musician gifted right ?

i mean he can has this charisma on his songs that come from his personality, i dont know if you get my idea, but i mean gifted talking bout talent, you know, i mean you never gonna watch mustaine nail a, i dont know, a zack wylde solo, but we know that marty can, anyways that special thing that mustaine has made the band great, so i agree in some part

take care and

metal up your ass!

[joeymann603]

i love nicks drum kit

[gunsproof]

1:37 - 1:48 Lucretia!!
