Megadeth Guitarist Audition.avi

[Crazytjeuh]

Can't believe how incredible it must feel to play with megadeth for one of the first times :D

[believer06]

Marty was initially declined the position by Mustaine.... because of Marty's multi colored hair. But after Marty got rid of the streaks, he got the job.

[electriceye53]

And the rest was history

[wpmtpm]

Marty no doubt an excellent player but his picking/playing style is by far the worse in rock/metal history

[DethThrasher1]

@wpmtpm why

[wpmtpm]

@DethThrasher1 Look at his picking hand how it is bent.... very uncomfortable looking and he mutes with his right forearm very unorthodox... although he sounds magnificent ..look at some other guitarists in the same way and you will notice how they pick and mute with the same hand and their wrist is not cocked like his they look so much more comfortable.

[DethThrasher1]

@wpmtpm hmm maybe but maybe hes actually more comfortable this way

[metalobsessedl]

@TheLegatoMan ya, I know, but he refused the spot cause Dave didn't want Vinnie, and Dime wouldn't join without Vin...........

[TheLegatoMan]

3 people auditioned for Megadeth and got told no cause of Friedman.

[metalobsessedl]

and to think this is the spot Dimebag was offered............

[Bradicide]

marty has the best hair in metal!! ...and japanese pop

[saznrai]

Who else auditioned?

[ctjoao]

3:55 marty fucked up. and silence struck the room

[CrispyGrease]

@ctjoao wasn't that just the last chord of the song as it ends? "wake up deaad "bang"

[roeris01]

emmm did you mean guitar player??



[MinecraftJT]

@roeris01 Shut the fuck up

[RattleheadMoney95]

Surely seeing as Dave plays the majoirty of the solo's in this it's not really a very good song to auditon the lead guitarist.

[TheAlexanderBlues]

what song did they play?

[ricochetlaugh]

@TheAlexanderBlues wake up dead!!! from peace sellsss!!

[ctjoao]

@TheAlexanderBlues Wake up Dead

[mralexforbes]

Marty probs thought Dave was crap after just having played with Jason Becker... not saying dave is bad but jason is THE MAN!

[pollitomeister]

"Easter egg" .1990. Arsenal of Megadeth



[HarvesterofSorrow316]

srry but which song is it?

[alconsirra]

@HarvesterofSorrow316 wake up dead

[fearview]

cool RIP Tshirt Dave!

[k0sta5]

I agree...this is incredible footage!

I can't believe it hasn't surfaced all this time until now.

Marty's hair is not as bad as Dave describes it.

The one thing about this video is that it proves without a shadow of a doubt that Chris Poland's other-worldly style is inimitable...PERIOD! I've never seen anyone acurately duplicate it.

[drumster626]

no doubt that Friedman had to go through Dave's personal "school of rock"

[SayGoodnightBitches]

Go Marty!

[Lunatic29hd]

marty was great, but i never liked his poland leads,never sounded right.

[vhEDDIEvh]

@Lunatic29hd thats cause no one can sound like chris poland :P

[m169marroquin]

he forearm mutes

[luigisbrother100]

No dislikes? Because only a true Megadeth fan would manage to find this.

[evilpancakeman]

@luigisbrother100 Or you could just type megadeth guitar into youtube and find it :P

[stevai6732]

@luigisbrother100 I just disliked it. Mad?

[literallarry2011]

@luigisbrother100 No cause the Metallica fans watching aren't little bitches like that

[luigisbrother100]

@literallarry2011 Way I know, many Metallica fans are not prone to look up stuff like this. I didn't know this until I was well into my fandom of megadeth.

[flipsy87]

its a shame Marty only auditioned this song on tape, they should've done an entire set and released it!

[metalhead9211]

marty looks nervous

[RustInPeace97]

the ones who disliked this will wake up de... wait, there are no dislikes!

[12yea122]

@RustInPeace97 is he doing jaming or doing a cast for the group¿?

[tsd380]

@12yea122 cast

[RustInPeace97]

@12yea122 i think its a cast for the group:)

[FilGee100]

Marty Friedman is an awsome guitarists but i find it really weird that in his own words he does'nt even like the Heavy Metal Guitar sound. He actually prefers Classical Guitar and a clean guitar sound :) for a man who does'nt like Metal he's a damn fine guitarist.

[MegaSham1234]

howd u get this

[skaterobban]

legendary history right here... i was born the same year rip was released.. wish i was born 15 years earlier....

[deadsmile06]

its really cool if they have done the same thing in dave auditioning for metallica, which i thought would've been great.

[ixcaliber]

@deadsmile06 Well Dave joined in the process of the band being formed. So if they taped it, it would just be an awkward 'what the fuck' moment.

[sm0kinstrat]

@ixcaliber which dave? ellefson and mustaine met prior to megadeth and formed it together.

[ixcaliber]

@sm0kinstrat I'm talking about Musatine joining Metallica.

[666shownomercy]

@deadsmile06 Actually Dave was just was just warming when they told him he got the position

[altumpaul]

you can only turn those knobs up up so much marty! lol

[imakazero]

@altumpaul he was just nervous haha

[altumpaul]

@imakazero lol id be nervous if i brought a pink starfish to a megadeth audition too

[imakazero]

@altumpaul haha!! i wish i could jam with megadeth!! that would be frekin awesome!!!!

[davidmst]

From Cacophony to Megadeth, this guy's fucking awesome!

[neazahmed]

marty an out of the world guitarist \m/

[sp4rtucus]

haha to think that he's probably prettyn nervous there and nowadays he jams with gilbert ALL the time :P MEGADETH!!!!!

[MaxTropicola]

@awesomepossum2244 HAHAHAHA you have to be kidding me

[lightsout434]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[brushedsquidAU]

friedman making plam mutes>ARM MUTES!

[invisibleblood100]

that guitar is fugly

[5henangn]

THIS FELLAS GOT TALENT MAN MAD SKILLS AND LOADS OF PERSONALITY N CONFIDENCE. HIS MOM MUST BE PROUD

[tsunami624]

Dave's thoughts as he sees marty: Why the FUCK does this guy have multicolored hair?

[awesomepossum2244]

Holy shit, he is amazing, now once im done learning how to play that im going to try to tackle the Hendrix guitar skills

[Hughesy16LFC]

@awesomepossum2244 Friedmans stuff is a lot harder to play than Hendrix you know. He doesnt even express his skills at all here really.

[awesomepossum2244]

@Hughesy16LFC no no, freidman is a great heavy metal guitarist, but jimi hendrix is harder for a reason, when ever he plays his songs, he plays them diffrently, he adds more parts into the song and puts diffrent notes and stuff. i dont really know what to say about that, cus i taught myself by ear to play.

[rocafella142]

@Hughesy16LFC Just because it's harder doesn't mean it's better. I'm sure Kerry King plays stuff Jimi Hendrix couldn't play on his best day, but he's not a better guitarist. It's about the motion of the ocean.

[TheSage666]

look at marty's arms, look at them a few years later!

[Beholder505]

Holy shit! I didn't really expect this to actually be the audition. Just another troll vid. Thanks for uploading!

[JonasBye123]

Can see that Mustaine hadn't gone through the song with him yet as he wouldn't let any of his guitarist play that "main" riff without using the spider chord.

[CHARMINOO]

@916Bone philistine

[Tinfoil93]

Does Dave play lead on wake up dead?

[mypearldrums]

@Tinfoil93 Just the first solo and the tapping in the tempo change

[imakazero]

@Tinfoil93 yes he does :D

[Sk8tboard123]

@Tinfoil93 Yes, he does.

[GSNikolay]

@Tinfoil93

Yes!

[Necrophagus12]

Very important moment in Megadeth history.

It´s nice can watch that!

[SnakeJab]

Marty regresa a Megadeth :'(

[U235kraine]

So very nice to see old vid.Pritty amazing.

[Kidnapper89]

HOW THE FUCK he does palm mutes with his elbow?!

[jbohler33]

@Kidnapper89 All proper metal guitarists do for the heavy chugs. It just looks more with him because of how high his guitar is in this vid and the way he positions his palm.

[jbohler33]

@Kidnapper89 looks more *obvious

[flyingsquirrel73]

Marty's the man...i betcha he showed Dave a thing or two, he's an incredible guitarist.

[Acces21]

awesome!

[jian2069]

so awesome that this amazing moment in history was recorded

[TheGIN1986]

daaaaaaaaamn

marty friedman fucking rewlz
