Soultone Cymbals with Nick Menza

[MEGADAVEFTW]

He looks a lot like Bobby Blitz from Overkill.

[satanburn6661]

Man he looks so sad ever since he got kicked from MEGADETH, Nick! if you see this! i hope you go and grow your hair long again, get your goatee back and most importantly, go and have fun!

[MsDiego200]

wow this is Nick Menza is so different

[valthejazzymetalhead]

Don't do heroin, kids.

[jw5y66]

Damn he is so skinny here and I'm pretty sure he's still on drugs.

Nick lay of drugs an please come back to Megadeth!

[monsterdrumworks]

thank you Tarkess ! Best Tracks ever laid down where with Marty & Nick ! Shawn Dover Sucks !

[Tarkess]

He's still a great player. Look at Dave and Junior, you can tell they suffered pretty bad from the drugs, too. Only guy who seems to not be influenced by them is Marty, haha.

[XJosephReyesX]

Cool

[XJosephReyesX]

Cool

[MrFoomonkey69]

zildijian

[longodave45]

He was always my favorite drummer in megadeth, but it is so sad to see him now. He is just a fraction of what he used to be.

[turgutkarahan]

"Handmade TURKISH Cymbals". Greetings from Istanbul ;)

[samaelfan]

Best drummer that ever plays in Megadeth !

[borisinin]

my favorite drum ever whit all of yours albums

[gruszkos666]

I bet he was thinkin about the Megadeth while playing...

[XJosephReyesX]

I don't care if he looks all diffrent he's still awesome to me just because of all the influencing he has done for me before I saw this video :D

[ter50]

Nick is 47 now, that's why he looks different from the Megadeth years.

[TheLawliet08]

@ter50 yeah, but you could hardly recognize the man.

[jonnocrap]

c'mon kids. he's rocking back and forth. dont even think he has his top teeth. sunken eyes and cheeks. he's wrecked out of his face. he can still play like a monster but there's a reason mustaine didn't let him back into megadeth during the reformation.

what is is vinnie C said some time back "dont do drugs while the kids are in the house nick" on his public site. yeah, nick's done, he blew his chance. great player but sorry bud. one of my heroes, take it easy.

[shadow80194]

holy fucking drugs! Nick looks like a completely different person. Damn he is one of my favourite drummers and looking at him now just makes me feel sorry

[vivelehardcore]

come back in megadeth NOW!!!

[laibw]

NIKE RETURN TO MEGADETH

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

@laibw Nike? What the fuck has Nike got to do with Megadeth?

[laibw]

@CloggedLacrimalGland upsss sorry

I meant NICK

sorry, sorry sorry bro

[FANTOMAX1974]

nick omg you are very different ,

[greatxssassin1]

This bitch bieber fan said no one can beat justin bieber in a drumming contest i told her nick menza can beat bieber just using the sticks...

[believin13]

wow, he's changed as far as his personality. he's calmed down and mellowed out

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

@believin13 Why? What was his personality like before?

[believin13]

@CloggedLacrimalGland he seemed argent, pissed off @ the world. u have to read between the lines. look up Megadeth on here. there r sume vidoes that follows them around. then u can see wut im talking abut. he still great.

[2309davidobando]

wait wait wait... nick menza is addict to cristal meth?

[ShivaTheAuspicious]

@2309davidobando so its been said, at least. I've heard a lot about Jake E. Lee also being a huge meth addict not too long ago. 

[remoman]

that is some farty ass bass.

[69stringibanez]

glad to see he is still an amazing drummer

[JGuitarCovers]

he only looks different cause he cut his hair, shaved, and got older

[MrRocketSkates]

oh man nick, you look like a completely different person

[GianniStunato]

Well, hey Nick really did himself in. I feel what others are saying. I hope he feels good. I say this because he is also a July 23 baby just like me! Us Leos always have the fire in life!

[syafiqare]

Nick kinda looks like Gar now

[TheCastroson]

aww man..watching this makes me fucking sad...he doesnt even have the same attitude he used to have :(...he used to be soo alive and now he doesnt even belive he plays any good :/ hes still my all time favorite and hope to god i meet him one day

[MrMarkpark]

He looks and sounds way burnt. "is that freedom rock, well turn it up man''

[Wrathmont313]

@MrMarkpark

Hahaha, he was always like that. Watch the "Evolver" Megadeth documentary and he seems so burnt there.

[mcufre]

Yeah they're like the best cymbals dude, yeah....*drops dead*

[elBatako777]

@mcufre LMFAO! xD

[grastproductions]

I don't think he's drugged out, he's just old :P

[succu666]

He just looks dead cause he's like 45 and he used to drink a lot when he played in megadeth...Thats it

[TheDaveDaveDave100]

Damn, he used to look a lot better.

[VoltronLadiesMan]

Crystal Meth will fuck you up lol

[StallionTTT]

Nick used to be the funniest guy but now hes boring

[CherubicGuardian]

Nick Menza is a baller!

[MassMetalMurder]

What the fucj happened to NICK!!!

[erkjan]

Nick is a master

[lolyourreallygay]

shit, he's a hollow shell from what he was with Megadeth

[Gunman94]

This is your brain on drugs! happy 420

[VoltronLadiesMan]

@Gunman94

thats not what pot does to you. he was hooked on meth lol

[feedback094]

shiit...nick is so fucked up

[TheCastroson]

man menza was such a handsome guy back in his megadeth days...god dammit drugs. why cant you leave and go away

[xMegadethFTWx]

Why does he look like Marty Friedman? LOL

[TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa]

@LAYUCHEBI Nope he doesn't anymore he is a cancer surviver nothing can take down the mighty Nick Menza !

[metlica12]

Who cares about how he looks? He is not 20 anymore... Im just glad that he still has his awesome drumming skills despite he had some drug issues.

[lolztillirolz47]

why the hell is everyone talking about nicks looks?? the vid isnt called, "Nick Menza drops out of the drumming business to persue his modeling career" THIS IS A DRUM VIDEO ABOUT HIS CYMBALS

[chaviscolotico]

@lolztillirolz47:- moron, so his health is not important!¡? intelligent guy!! He cant sell cymbals if he's dead!! right!?

[lolztillirolz47]

@chaviscolotico Yea but hes not dead yet, is he ;)

[drumdemon3]

@lolztillirolz47 because when one of ur idols who used to look awesome suddenly looks like a skeleton junkie ur obviously gonna comment!

[rocafella142]

@lolztillirolz47 Maybe because people have the right to wonder what the hell happened to the awesome drummer that was once in Megadeth. Drugs are the reason he's not in Megadeth anymore and now it shows on his face.

[bleedfingerz]

@lolztillirolz47 Most of us are only concerned because apart from the cymbals, he is also a very talented individual who was once in a famous heavy thrash metal band.

and now he looks beyond recognition.

[lewisl1394]

Damn, I didn't know what Nick did with himself after Megadeth, but after finding out he had been abusing drugs i thought it coulden't be as bad as what had happened to Dave in Megadeth, but then i saw this.... Man he used to look badass in the 90's, now he looks like a baked Marty Friedman

[TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa]

@darktitan3025 Nick found out he had cancer around the time he was kicked out Dave went to see him and tell him to fuck off when he saw Nick sitting there crying Dave said he almost started crying when he found out his buddy might die but Dave had to do it he was sober and Nick was still on drugs so Dave had to do the right thing

[LAYUCHEBI]

@TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa nick has cancer?

[blsftw666]

the guys older now, i dont look the same when i was 22, especially when i smoked and partied for the last twenty years!!

[AnnihilatorLt]

He looks liek a fuckin Michaael Jackson all skiny and stuff.. He looked pretty bad ass back in 1990-1992

[stonemaster234]

@AnnihilatorLt 1990-1997 sir haha

[manemustaine]

hes still got the chops

[LarsUlrichFan07]

@MrStoneddanny Nah, he's goddamn awesomw maaan! :D

[MrGokhan451]

Those are made by Masterwork cymbals. Iki has no business in Turkey. High priced and you get to hear IKI's BS! Nick's first sets say MASTERWORK on the metal permenantly!

[darktitan3025]

Short hair ... no moustache ... no beard ... I'm sorry, that's not the Nick Menza from Megadeth I know and love ... that's just an awesome drummer who kinda reminds me of Marty ... and sounds kinda depressed ...

[killerscorpion0]

hes almost like depressing to listen 2... i think hes an epic drummer but he sounds kinda boring

[ColtinNotChicken]

Barely even recognize Nick

[HolyDiver1]

I prefer smaller toms, but holy crap. Might as well use roto-toms.

[GrandRiffAuto73]

poor nick man.... it's like a combo of Friedman and Bobby Blitz... it's scary man..

we want you back Menza :/

[rhythm78]

it's strange how much Nick looks almost exactly like Marty... especially now that Nick is older. Back in the day, everyone used to get them both mixed up in Megadeth

[restpack]

RUST IN PIECE NICK!! =((

[mitchwheelz]

Don't do drugs kids.

[Nightwishfann]

Nick may seem older and depressed. But you can still clearly hear his ability to drum, that is not been killed by drugs, Nick Menza is still a great drummer. Just listen to his sound ... and if you look at his body languege he isn't even realy trying thrash metal in this vid. Nick's still Nick.

[Masterrese]

no more hanging cymbals or huge kit, sold it all for meth. how did he crush his megadeth money?

[SMITHAIA]

.....Geezuz....I met Nick in 1994, and 1995 in Houston, TX. He was a very nice guy, and looked completely different. Now, he looks like he has some serious health issues. Glad to know he is still playing drums

[ablaaa]

Definitely not the next Billy Mays...

[PattyWhomperOFFICIAL]

he lieks Quaaludes, om nom nom nom...

[rockmetal1989]

We want more from Nick !!!!!

[Droogie128]

Drugs morphed him into Marty Friedman? Wtf Nick.

[hardmember]

SHABU SHABU SHABU SHABU....BATAK PA PARENG NICK \M/\M/\M/

[zetanbow16]

need you back in megadeth if david came back you can do it

[metalwarrior1990]

@zetanbow16 Dude, I am tired of saying this to so many Megadeth fans who whine about the classic lineup. Nick is not coming back, and you know it. In case you don't know, he insulted Shawn when Shawn was asked to be his drum tech when Megadeth reformed, plus Nick wasn't prepared. All I'm asking of you is to accept the fact that Shawn is in Megadeth right now, and it's going to stay that way.

[evilchimp95]

:( this put a downer on my day

[xxmlhedxx]

Nick Buddy megadeth needs you!!

[ElvisBluntman777]

Holy fucking monkey shit on a stick....that seriously can't be him!!!!!

[ezraholmes01]

He's just older and depressed, I would guess.

[christschinwon]

Megadeth sanitised Nick's true sound. He's no Lombardo by miles but true respect to a drum dude!

[MarkHarrellJr]

Folks, he may not be ravaged by drugs.

I mean look, we all probably remember what he looked like during the Rust In Piece days and that was over 2 decades ago. C'mon, give him a break. Not everyone ages the same.

And then maybe he's a druggy burn out...I don't know, just wanted to put out another possibility. And I actually dig the sound of this gig here...and the cymbals sound dope!

[gwb911]

i think he looks good.

[MyTony40]

DAMMM NICK WHAT HAPPENED TO U..MAN U FELL OFF..DUDE GET BACK ON TRACK..CRACK KILLS DUDE!!!

[jaxpower1]

heroin is bad kids.

[IronCobra95]

from megadeth to that band

[muelastube]

WHAT HAPPENED TO NIIICKKKK¿¿¿¿ MALDITAS DROGAS,

[Tobben94Norway]

People, don't use drugs! 

[SENATORPAIN1]

he sounds completly different.

[1madaboutguitar]

2:12 ROFL

[dantheman8yo]

Anyone who can play like this on drums 16-19 years old, living in Toronto, private message me.

[NotoriousYeshi]

and now everyone can see why Nick Menza is not in Megadeth no more...dude looks like a skeleton...fuck Meth has kicked his ass big time....what a shame, he can still drum but he looks like hell..

[zackattack94]

dont do drugs kids

[outlaw6066]

He looks so bummed. Nick needs to go back to Megadeth.

[KISSAceGenePaulPete1]

Alright, You can bring out Nick now. I know this isn't Nick. Or..Oh my god...That's NICK MENZA?!

[dreadss64]

Wow does he look fucked...compare what he looks like here from his days in the early 90's

WOW

[TheBLOODLINEmusic]

Nick and Marty aged...... Dave and David stayed the same. I guess being in Megadeth makes you look younger

[supperunknown]

@TheBLOODLINEmusic

well Dave looks like he is 65 these days :/

David stayed the same, though :)

[biiiiirdman]

@TheBLOODLINEmusic bullshit, I saw Megadeth in '08 and was really close to Mustaine, he looked like Ozzy back then, the blowing wind could take him down dude. And that was 2 years ago...

[lifedrumsmusic]

his roll at 1:06 is off beat at the end.

[PAPASPIDERMAN]

@lifedrumsmusic Nope :-)

[biiiiirdman]

@lifedrumsmusic no it isnt... bpms are around 180, he played every 16th note... count them dude

[kekecom]

this is not menza ¬¬

[Dimebag001]

I hope Nick gets a chance to be back in Megadeth i have a strange feeling that it might happen somewhere in the future, I have nothing against Shawn Drover he's a great drummer but come on man Menza is the guy you wanna have behind a drumkit. So pull your shit together bro, we Megadeth droogies miss you

[silvertempest]

A lot of the Megadeth "fans" suck Dave's dick and eat his words like gospel. I wouldn't know the truth, but it was said that Menza had a tumor in his knee and had to get it removed. Then Dave told him to not come back and later said that Nick lied about having the tumor. Whether it's true or not, I couldn't say, but that probably was the point where Nick just fell off. I'm sorry, but I can't believe Dave because of all the shit he talks about former bandmates.

[wildwyattswebshow]

See what drugs will do to you kids?

[nigsallaroundme]

Fucking picking the bass

[megadeth55555]

I want this guy back in MEGADETH!!!

look at his face! he looks like shit

damn! amazing drummer and what about his life????

[biqMAKnificent]

Somebody needs to help him get and Stay on track man!! It'll be too fucking tragic if he dies . Maybe Dave or Marty should help =[

[SpicyDragoon]

@biqMAKnificent Dave and Marty have better things to do. And I mean that in a factual way.

[higreatfrog82]

I mean, washed up or not, this guy can still keep one hell of a beat.

Around Rust In Peace time and the early 90's, Nick was one of the greatest metal drummers the world had ever seen.

When Nick Menza was at the top of his game, he was a match for Lombardo.

[1madaboutguitar]

@higreatfrog82 Yer the rust in peace drumming was incredible

[VicRattlehead425]

im also kind of shellshocked like everyone here wrote... he has been off the grid for years in metal scene... i mean he is one of the best drummers ever out there... but it doesnt feel right seeing this.. dont do drugs nick... ur the best we all love u . we support u all the way... plz get back in shape man...

[zetanbow16]

[zackattack94]

[dethclusion]

[zetanbow16]

[Anarchyffan]

@zetanbow16 I kinda.... uh.... like broderick..... better ^.^

[Rattlehead1818]

Ohhhhhh ,man Menza is a mess

[NoOida]

Man...he still is a awesome Drummer but he looks so Fucked up here. As he was in Megadeth he looked really cool but now.....

[apexpein39]

[1madaboutguitar]

Ha ha, my 3 yr old Nephew could give more sophisticated answers to those questions. Still...awesome drummer ...awesome musican. Marty and Menza gave Megadeth thier magic

[1chamberlain1]

[ZakumsMage11]

[chrisx8x23x95]

this is why nick menza is one of my all time favorite drummers

[mmim4]

[1chamberlain1]

@mmim4 Dude, what is gay about thinking someone looks cool? lol you a homophobe or something?

[Megadeth72]

@mmim4 well, Dave also look like that during peace sells and so far so good era, but now he's healthy.. we can only hope Nick can sort out his drug problem too

[TheMegamania]

@mmim4 he was strung out on meth in 2004

[VicRattlehead79]

He looks better in other videos of soul tone cymbals

watch?v=hzuyYjXmIB8&feature=re­lated

[massgilms]

if i had of seen menza only in this clip i would never be able to tell what a badass funny cunt he used to be in the days of rust in peace

[houseshoesbto]

He looks terrible its sad to see a great talent go down the drain

[adndan]

Man! No double bass, no long hair, no thrash, no METAL...

Fucking (chemical) drugs!!!! --> They DO change cool people.....

[0001sergioX]

WTF whit Menza?????? he needs more MEGADETH

[houseshoesbto]

Dude menza looks like a beyond burnt out bobby blitz

[Thepussfagslut]

he used to be so cute :(

[AdammTheDude]

Damn this dude just 41 but looks worse than his other former bandmates

[AdammTheDude]

Oh gosh what happened to this dude?

[veXomLee]

WHERE THE FUCK IS NICK MENZA????

[anchorman632]

He had everything and now he plugs shitty Turkish Cymbals he looks fucking suicidal.

[beetlesazer]

[MasterCamz]

[Fender0nfire]

Damn he looks horrible. I hate seeing Marty and Nick out of megadeth. Cause when they were together they were amazing and they still are but I'd rather have rust in peace's line up. Poor nick

[SpicyDragoon]

Dave's right he is a shell of his former self.

[apollo14444]

wow...drugs

[mqmqmwmw]

"He looks like shit"... Hahahahaha!!!

[ultimatefighter187]

while he look like shit his drumming has increaed.....nick your amazing...now learn how to feel again lol

[mingebag851]

Where has gone the funny, healthy looking great drummer Nick? =((

[imaginaryteaparty]

I met Nick in about '89 and he looked about the same. Chatted with him for a while and he just came across as an awesomely nice guy.

[shaboobo1988]

RUST IN PIECE!

[megadeath728]

Damn i did expected to so him look like that damn i think meth fried his brain like and egg

[dsordlyfolks666]

Damn he looks old.

[GarytheIrishDrummer]

Man what is up with Menza? He looks half dead

[mitchwheelz]

What a gross guitar riff lol.

[edge1000]

How come you guys are saying that he is doing drugs?

[mitchwheelz]

@edge1000 because he got into doing crystal meth towards the end of his career with Megadeth.
