Nick Menza - Megadeth

[navymusician822]

His dad is my HERO!!!

[gypssyychild31]

best mega drummer

[KilltheLightofMaster]

nick, niCK!, NICK!!!!

[danybast2009]

La mejor formacion del thrash metal de toda la historia para mi gusto!!!

[juliaanrock]

LEJOS, PERO LEJOOOOOOSS, EL MEJOR BATERISTA DE MEGADETH!

[bonesfelipe93]

0:35 probably the only picture where Dave is smiling.

[ivemetthedevil88]

Fucking loved Menza and Friedman era ! Best Megadeth years. Menza for sure was the best drummer theyve ever had .

[Jakub1471]

Thank you, God. Kill/f*** em'all (choose what You want) from Wikipedia!

[Jakub1471]

Is he still alive?

[LyricsArFun]

whats the song?

[thefallenone95]

@LyricsArFun O_O. It's fucking Paranoid by Black Sabbath, mate.

[Brutalyeah]

@LyricsArFun

Yeah man, get yer facts straight, you're not even allowed to listen to any metal if you don't know one of the most popular songs by Black Sabbath!

[danybast2009]

ESTA BUENISIMO EL VIDEO!

[ConnorEdge]

NIck > Lars

[MarcoMetal79]

It's a cover song from Black Sabbath and called Paranoid

[Yossupdude91]

@MarcoMetal79 i think we figured that out allready.

[PanosGuitarHero]

can somebody tell me where can i find the picture from 0:11?

[TrymMenza]

thats some awsome stuff man!

[Dimebag001]

Nick!..Nick!!..NICK!!!!!!!

[chrisx8x23x95]

0:33 I FUCKING LOVE THE CYMBAL RACK HE HAS! WHEN IM ALL UP THERE IN TEH METAL INDUSTRY IMA HAVE THAT

[BoundInChains]

One reason why I listen to Megadeth

[Thepussfagslut]

the first part, when he screams nick, is it from a video?

[nuttheadsimebag]

@Thepussfagslut

It's actually from the end of the song.

[Thepussfagslut]

@nuttheadsimebag what song?

[nuttheadsimebag]

@Thepussfagslut

Megadeth cover of 'Paranoid'..

[mitchwheelz]

Where did you find the picture at 0:12 - I looked all over the Megadeth.com gallery and couldn't find it.

[nuttheadsimebag]

@mitchwheelz Megadeth.com dude.. Don't know where exactly but I'm pretty sure it was there..

[mitchwheelz]

@nuttheadsimebag

Yeah shorty after i went through the Rust in Peace gallery and found it. It was just such a small image before you click on it.

[Jackstock500]

idk why everyone hates on drover i think hes a good drummer of course hes not the best but he is good

[uofm97]

@Jackstock500 I think he matches Menza's peak abilities and then exceeds them, ever so slightly. The guy is computer-like in his playing, right on the nose. I have yet to hear anything he's recorded that sounds even slightly out of time, that includes his Eidolon career as well..

[RockMago0]

Un monstruo en la bateria sin duda NIck Menzaa

[Movanz]

@Studas2006 a biased opinion my friend :)

[DETHFAN18ALL]

@sexymanjdj ya like i said. Dave is a very protective person... you don't fuck with his dog/ friends

[Chester1004]

I want Megadeth to replace Drower he is the worst drummer the band had if you skip Behler.

Nick Menza is the god

[HolyDeth]

I think it's (from best to worst) DeGrasso > Nick > Gar > Shawn > Chuck.

And I LOLED so hard at the beginning. Nick... NICK!

[2125540]

@HolyDeth Just quit DeGrasso form the beginning and you're right

[malakian99]

*flap*..*flap*..*flap*.. ;]

[TheSugarFreedom]

fuck hes so ugly now...

[halonerd04]

wasnt he the one that did good morning black friday i dont really know anything about megadeth i like metallica better

[wagimawrpf5692]

it was gar samuelson actually

[ELGRANBAUTISTA]

nick was the best drummer megadeth has ever had!!! we all know that, or get to see the rust in peace that's trash of the best ever done hell yeah!!!

[Novalogicss]

u must of not heard peace sells but who's buying album ...nick menza is extremely talented but will never compare to the Gar Samuelson in my opinion of course

[2125540]

@ELGRANBAUTISTA Listen carefully to Peace Sells, it has some awesome drumming in it.

[Alex11710]

Megadeth never was really about drums... But Gar and Nick were fantastic! What about Vince Coliuta?

[mmdus76]

nothing against Shawn, but at this point in Megadeth's career , Nick Menza should back in Megadeth... also Marty Friedman...i don't belive Marty's could back but i still belive one day Nick will rejoin Megadeth.

[11DNA11]

@mmdus76 Nick can't join. He's pretty fucked up all around nowadays. Can't play like before etc.

[metalpriest420]

what about worst guitar players in megadeth....jeff young

[iloveskate1995]

Worst Megadeth drummer: Chuck best:Nick

[bloodshot111]

I dunno Gar was pretty sick

[ideadonei]

Nick or Jimmy

[6393dude]

Megadeths worst drummer was chuck the rest are equal

[acdc1981]

Nick eats the fucking Lars with potatoes!

[KyleJPie10]

@acdc1981 He would like that...

[ultimatefighter187]

@acdc1981 theyre both awesome.

[childrenofblackwidow]

@acdc1981 weird that nick was behlers drum roadie, although i think hes drum parts are far more difficult than behlers, right :D

[persopower]

@acdc1981 Lars never has been a player, he is just a showman, most untalented musician I've ever seen!!

[ridethelightning64]

Nick Menza needs to go back to megadeth, because it would probably stop dave from retiring and in my opinion would probably bring back old megadeth sounds too, although I doubt that would happen... :(

[SolidGoldEliteODST]

DAVE IS NOT GOING TO RETIRE! They stille have the Rust in Peace concert! THE BIG FOUR ARE GOING TO PLAY A CONCERT TOGETHER ON JUNE 16 THIS YEAR! (MEGADETH, METALLICA, SLAYER AND ANTHRAX!). AND DAVID ELLEFSON IS BACK IN MEGADETH TOO!

[ridethelightning64]

@SolidGoldEliteODST so what? if you read guitar world they quoted him saying he has one album left and then he's done, although now that David Ellefson is back (which I think is a huge marketing joke, but it is awesome) that may stop Dave from retiring just because of all the money on ticket sales etc. he can make if he doesn't.

[CHICKMAGNET66666]

ctually in a interview i read dave said and i quote"ive got two more contracts under my belt and after that im done" so guess we got two more albums of aswomeness

[mirikam8]

Unfortunately, they didn't get on very well with each other. Remember?

[ridethelightning64]

@mirikam8 So? In 2004 when Dave decided not to make "The System has Failed" A solo album, he was going to try and reunite the "Rust in Piece" line-up and Nick was the first to agree to come back, they didn't get along in the 90's because Dave was still on drugs at the time, and besides Dave wanted to get david ellefson back in the back because he's trying to live life differently so, I'm sure he's changed his opinion on Nick too.

[mirikam8]

Well then, that settles it.

[ridethelightning64]

@mirikam8 Yea man, I'd agree that it does haha

[clauxd93]

Nick Nick Nick... The best drummer that megadeth ever had...

[JagGruppen1]

for me is Jimmy DeGrasso

[ReverendNegar]

lol at the beginning.

"Nick...Nick...NICK!"

[munnybunny666]

your mama cant play either...

[camaxer]

Nick is amazing!

he has a nice tone and

he drums pretty solid!

the best!

[SultanChase]

Nick Menza - wicked!

But who was better, Nick or Gar? Tough to say, especially since Gar contributed significantly to the evolution of Megadeth's original sound.

Would be great to see the classic line-up of Dave, Junior, Marty, and Nick re-unite. But seeing as Dave hates everyone who isn't Dave (especially Junior right now), it looks as unlikely as Dio and Blackmore re-forming Rainbow.

[thejack1212]

actually dave wanted to reunite the Rust in Peace line up for the system has failed, Junior said no, marty doesnt want to play metal and stay in japan, and nick said yes and even had a few rehersals with him but got fired cause apparantly he was not physically prepared

[Shuwiy]

I would say gar cuse he invented the first beats for megadeth :O too bad he died :(

RIP Gar!  \,,/ u_u

But Nick is sick!!!! no one like him in live!

[Caayaaa]

@SultanChase Nick is awesome, but Gar (RIP) is the best drummer that megadeth ever had! Listen to Killing is my Bussines (song) or Bad Omen, BADASS! I dont think that Nick sucks, but Gar is THE drummer of Megadeth, I say it cuz Im a drummer man and I know what im saying :)

[MetalSwitch95]

@SultanChase Heeeee's baaaaack! :D

[leifericson923]

what i can respect about nick (besides the fact that he's megadeth's best drummer) is that he wore compression shorts. idk why, but a drummer who's semi smart about the health of his muscles is cool.

[secondsonn]

A great video mate. Great collection of stills and vids, really well made. Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed it :-D

[laihoz]

0:49 fuckin epic

[diltirey]

menza-friedman best era, and ironic, this song is a three piece release, cause here plays just mustaine menza and ellefson. awesome quartet. MEGADETH

[ruffles272]

are you kidding? He's just as good as neil pert! Except he doesn't have that huge fucking drum set...

[Bugze90]

true that :D

[krillhead]

what song is it with the nick nick nick init cos i have all their songs but cant find which one has that init

help ps?

[elm3100]

Megadeth's cover of "Paranoid" from Nativity in Black.

[listentostrick9]

It's at the very end of paranoid cover.

[dkargento]

Paranoid...

[blade4657]

nick...Nick...NICK!!!!! best part of that besides that nick was to busy rocking out to realize the song had an end was that dave didn't exit his singing voice while yelling

[sergiCHI09]

betteeer!

[niugsoggoth]

YEAH...!!!!! great song.!!! great drummer....!!! o yeah mustaine is also fine, yep.

[megadethorelse03]

Nicks the Best!!outside of his drumming hes a comedian:P jokes

[jayakishore1234]

nick...nick.....NICK..........­.....LOL :-)

[Xenithrawxx]

OMG they made a cover of Paranoid?! Sweeeet!! Go Nick!!

[aassyr1111]

WHAT SONG IS THAT>?

[S7evieRay]

Paranoid. It's a cover of a Black Sabbath song.

[ThrashDeth17]

He was part of the best Megadeth lineup EVER.

Dave Mustaine, Dave Elefson, MARTY MUTHA FUCKIN FRIEDMAN, and Nick Menza!!!!!

]v[EGADET|-| RULES!

[Peashant2142]

I lol'd

[ThrashDeth17]

At what?

[Peashant2142]

MARTY MUTHA FUCKIN FRIEDMAN

that made my day

[ThrashDeth17]

Oh, lol. XD

[MORC3G0]

the drummers of megadeth were good, but Nick is Megadeth! the best! Great Menza!!!

[mcconnachiea]

Proabably.

But then dave would knock his teeth out

[KE3user]

I was obviously saying that Dave could kick James's ass. Have you see Hetfield? Dave kicked his ass once he can do it again.

[ThrashDeth17]

Dave has a black belt in some form of martial arts.

[KE3user]

Look at James... Look at Dave... Now think about what you just said.

[PinkPantherPunk]

yeah right dave knows karate he would fuckin kill james

[Rockkaholic666]

why does everybody turn every single megadeth video into an argument between dave and james

or kirk.. this is NICK MENZA, the drummer!!

[0intelligence0]

@Rockkaholic666 That's because it's stupid to compare nick to lars.

[USEH567]

lol As memory serves me correctly, it was Dave who beat James up ;)

[DETHFAN18ALL]

@USEH567 lol you mean when James kicked his dog?

[h3ktor92]

Great Vid!!

[yiommi]

Nick is a friend of a friend of mine so i got to go to a 4th of july party at his house a few yrs back and in one of his bathrooms theres a picture of dave mustaine in the toilet!!

[ChocolateThunderRick]

Hahaha no way!!! Hahaha I love Dave but that's hilarious! Nick is so damn funny hahaha greatest guy on Earth!

[megadethrulez1]

is his house big? haha

[yiommi]

Not really he has a huge backyard if it wasnt for the little recording studio built into it youd never know a rock star lived there

[rogerklotz8]

Great video!! Nick Menza is a kickass drummer!!

[youarenottheparty]

right on ...

this wasn't what I expected, but pretty cool nonetheless :)

[chmybrain]

ExileCanadaMetal Won Yaaaay :D ... ExileCanadaMetal all the Way !!! , Seriously a Note to:- BlessureK Idont even know him . : )

[chmybrain]

OH !!! Its True , Its True Dave Knocked him out , No Lemme Rephrase Dave knocked james on his Ass ... hahahahahah , No wait again knocked him like Hell .lolx ... Its true Its Really True Dave knocked the Shit out o James .... :D , N Then he went Crying to Lars for what Dave had Done .... Hahahahahahahhhahahah

[megadethnumber11]

YEAH I KNOW I WAS RIGHT

[mjsrpv]

HO YEAH!!!!!!!!! The best of the best!!!!!

[Vincentdeep]

Fuck who he worhips, he's a kick-ass drummer and his kit is outta control. Rock on nick!

[mbm13213]

I heard Nick Menza worships the dark Lord.

[BlessureK]

yeah but i dont think dave "kicked" james's arse. i'm pretty sure they got into a scuffle. but, i mean, james is a pretty big guy. i reckon he would roll dave

[ExileCanadaMetal]

one size has nothing to do with a fight and two mustiane is a black belt in a martial art, and then im pretty sure dave could have fucked james up with his rage.

[BlessureK]

yeah but he didnt have a black belt in 1982 did he? also, i fought a kid or two who did karate n shit, and really, it doesnt do alot for you unless you convert what you were taught into a real fight. i honestly dont give a shit who won the fight. because i love both bands and their music, probs metallica more but eh. who cares really. that was the past, the bands have sorta moved on from it. i think the fans should too

[ExileCanadaMetal]

haha he did punch hetfield in the face and knocked him on his ass though, and he also tossed Ron McGovney into a wall.

and btw i dont really care who you fought because quite honestly you probably got your ass kicked or your making this up if not good for you.

[BlessureK]

1) were you there? no, how do you know what happened? dave said it? well dave isnt going to say "i punched him and he just took it" hes going to say he got him good, after all, hhe does/did hate them alot at the time of the interview. of course hes going to try to make them look like a mob of pussy's.

2) being a good fighter is a skill you are born with. you can train someone to fight as much as you like, but in the end, it comes down to their natural ability to fight. not a black belt

[ExileCanadaMetal]

actually buddy it was Ron McGovney who said what happened not dave.

[ExileCanadaMetal]

also judging by your comment it comes down to natural ability to fight im guessing youve never been trained in anything. myself i havent i have friends who have trained in boxing and couldnt fight worth a shit who can now do alot of damage.

its has nothing to do with Natural fighting ability. and i didnt even bring up the black belt thing after the first comment. stop acting like you know it all my friend its childish.

i simply stated a fact you make an excuse. i said i dont blieve you btw.

[BlessureK]

how long you going to keep this up?

[ExileCanadaMetal]

i dont really need to keep it up since i shut you up with the randy mcgovin thing.

its true what happened and theres no need for excuses like the ones you made up. who gives a shit like you said. i simply said mustiane knocked james on his ass. and you start writing a book of excuses.

[BlessureK]

i'm pretty sure we have moved on from the metallica/megadeth thing man, i cant get over how much of a fucking kid you are acting man. considering i am the "child" 18 year old.

[ExileCanadaMetal]

youre write especially with the post im replying to you about.

get over it and end it. i am now. respond if you want but im not going to respond back.

[BlessureK]

thank god. well, ive always lived by the motto: you start something you should always end it

[ExileCanadaMetal]

maybe you should end your life. =) you just cant take being wrong my friend now you have to get the last word in.

[BlessureK]

i thought you were over it and was going to end it? i thought you werent going to respond?

well that fucked up didnt it.hhahahahah

[ExileCanadaMetal]

i changed my mind it happens.

[walshy0001]

there's a fucking interview with both dave and james where they talk about it.

it started with ron mcgoveny was pissed off at dave and dave was pissed at ron, and james was like, well you'll have to go through me before you get to ron, and ron said the exact same thing except that he would have to go through him to get to james, and then dave turns to james and says, "you win" and knocked him the fuck out.

[BlessureK]

dude wheres this interview, i wanna watch it

[walshy0001]

behind the music: megadeth

there are like 11 parts which are seperate vids on youtube, and it talks about the whole history of megadeth, but in one of those parts it talks about it

[BlessureK]

watched it. doesnt say anything about knocking him out. says he hit him in the mouth when he wasnt expected it and then threw ron up against the wall and walked out

[walshy0001]

oh my bad...i didn't mean literally knocking him out, i meant just hitting hard straight in the jaw.....sorry for my wording.

[startrooper64]

gotta love the beginning. nick Nick NICK!

[dkbladi]

Rapes Lars as Marty does with Kirk

:D

[explosion6331]

you have very gay thoughts, although marty friedman is god and nick menza is damn good, lars and kirk would totally kick your ass

[Peashant2142]

why the fuck metallifag fans have to say about their band IN EACH FUCKING VID goddammitt

[megadethnumber11]

i know but they dont use the part when dave kicked james ass for kicking his dog

[BlessureK]

im pretty sure that didn't happen

[megadethnumber11]

i wonder what nick is doing now a days

[mjsrpv]

THE BEST DRUMMER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and i agree with 3xplosiv0

[3xplosiv0]

Menza+Friedman+The Davids=BEST BAND EVER!

[Shawnmichaels999]

indeed.

i love marty and nick :D

[ThrashOverKill]

nick menza = best damn drummer ive seen

[MORC3G0]

Kill =)

[enjoiCam]

nick.. u are missed bro. (being in the band)

to me he was one of if not the best drummer megadeth had

[catthtlndsonback]

if they took nick and gar's DNA

we would have the best drummer in the world without a doubt...

[SycRq]

lol

[MetalMessiah5]

Nick, ur a GOD !!!!!

[ThrashOverKill]

come back nick

and marty too

[MasterOfPuppets1000]

lol the bigging nick nick! NICK!! is that from when megadeth plays pariond live?

[s15specs]

from hidden treasures, nick kept playing after the band stopped and they kept that on the recording

[wated666]

that sucks dave kick him out and told him he couldnt play because he wasnt prepeard when he got a tumor on his knee..but he was fucking with dave and his family ..when yhe waas taking drugs

[mu0325]

I think Dave got some issues because see how many people he kicked out of his band and how many times he changed lineups... I think its all because he got kicked out of metallica or maybe he got some power and control issues... but he is a great musician songwriter, guitar player, and a very angry man and that's why his music is good..

[cocoabononohead]

It has nothing to do with a knee tumor. The knee injury issue was a media alternative excuse, when Nick and Dave were not getting along, and he was fired.

[albesky]

the best ever... and Lars sucks!

[MetallicaHeavyMetal]

One of the best drumers of all time, and obiously the best Trash Metal drummer"

[caldrumkit]

trash?..or thrash?

[DozaSlayer]

thrash. you would be an epic fail to call it trash

[PinkPantherPunk]

thrash*

[cocoabononohead]

Lombardo.

[alexxxex]

who gives the jonas, Mother F*CK*R

[2007kills2008]

Nick Menza and Gar Samuelson are the best Megadeth drummers IMO

[Metalmasterxxx]

One of my favorites and one of the best drummers ever!
