  • Yes very good but why would he choose to play another guitarists licks/song/solo. Surely he'd play his own?

  • was this post Megadeth?

  • great this guitar player is just great

  • hehe i just want to Thank my Mom to giving me such a very COOL name GLEN! my real name is Alfred Glen Mercado.... my nick name is GLEN hhehe too many COOL metal name same as my name like---- GLEN BENTON(DEICIDE), GLEN DANZIG(MISFITS, GLEN TIPTON(JUDAS PRIEST), GLEN DROVER (ex MEGADETH). FUCKING KICKASS MY NAME!

  • @GlenGrunge I gotta agree since i TOO am a Glenn, with 2 n's!!

  • @GlenGrunge My dads name IS Glen

  • @GlenGrunge then why is your last name grunge? fail ;-)

  • wicked 

  • he's very talented guitarist !!! 

  • FUCKING BADASS SOLO

  • whatever you guys say i must imply that poland's the best guitarist megadeth has got so far.

  • too bad he couldnt play this in buenos aires...

  • Always liked Glen. Hope he has a good career and solo album.

  • 20 glen's haters

  • wow the solo is amazing(and the rest of the song too) ... it sounds just like the original song :D

  • @Mr666669 i mean the studio recorded one ._.

  • no one can do this solo beter than chris !

  • @TornadoOfMegadeth Yeah i agree with you. chris is the best...

  • @TornadoOfMegadeth than marty man

  • @TornadoOfMegadeth did you mean Marty? NOBODY can bend like Marty

  • @Nikomegadeth LOL what do you mean?

  • @Nikomegadeth ı am better than him ı can easily say it

  • People are surprised because this guy plays tornado of souls...IN A FUCKING STUDIO!!anyone with some good guitar skill can do that at home.just search youtube for example.This guys ruins every Solo when playing live....

  • @ozzymustaine

    He played it in front of an audience.

  • GR8

  • This is pretty good...

  • im sure everebody sees that for the solo :P

  • Glen does not suck, sorry to be that guy going against others but his soloing is dmn near flawless and SMOOOOOTH and his personal tone is amazing. Glen Drover is definatly up there in the greatest guitarists

  • this is the proof that he is playing on playback drover sucks...marty is god !

  • shawn drover remind me of chuck behler... both suck

  • @skaterobban its glen, shawn its de drummer. :D

  • @alan6333 i know i must of been completely stoned off my mind writing that on this video like wtf lol.

  • He's good but he wasn't good enough for MEGADETH :)

  • Glen's a terrific player and he was a great addition to Megadeth. His new Metalusion album with Jim Gilmour (Saga) and Chris Sutherland (Kim Mitchell) is AWESOME. Buy it if you dig crazy instrumental jamming on music that is like a metal-fusion-prog combination.

    I hope one day him and his brother record another Eidolon album. I own all the CDs and think the band is TOTALLY underrated.

  • This guy and his brother were the worst thing to ever play on Megadeth...they suck!

    Serioulsy...and this guy was the reason why Nick Menza didn't continued on Megadeth.what an asshole.

  • @ozzymustaine Is this a personal thing against the Drovers or what? Glen was (and Shawn is) a terrific asset to Megadeth.

  • @Sandy5Magics Glenn was the worst guitarist Megadeth ever had.he ruins all the solos and didn't offered anything new to the band.Shawn is without any doubt the worst drummer Megadeth ever had.hes SO slow and cant improve.This what happens when we mix friends with work.they can be nice persons but as musicians they are not.at least for Megadeth.

  • @ozzymustaine i have to agreee wiith sandy5 cause musically Glen is WAYY better than a lot of your guitarists out here now aday. and Shawn has been with Megadeth for a very very long time and has improved emensly as you can see on Endgame album. As far as Glen goes, his soloing is extremly smooth, probably some of the smoothest soloing i've seen and its not all legato. and as musicians Shawn and Glen are great musicians hands down

  • @ozzymustaine The reason Menza didnt continue was because Menza had sum issues that Dave didnt like.

  • @Riffguylbmetal91 Because Nick didnt wanted Shawn drover as his technician...and Glen was "offended" because of that.Yes, it seems Nick still was a drug addicted but the great reason was because Nick refused to accept Shawn as his technician and that generated the issues with Mustaine again,because Glen went crying to Mustaine about it.

  • @ozzymustaine Really?? damn i didnt knw that whole thing..sucks,,,wouldve been way better to have menza as the main drummer..

  • UA is one of my favorite Megadeth records. I know that most of you will disagree with me, but whatever. Glen is my second favorite Deth guitarist next to Marty. Love this dude.

    1. Rust in Peace

    2. Youthanasia

    3. United Abominations

    4. The System Has Failed

  • my dad is friends with him :)

  • Oh and

    1- Marty

    2- Chris

    3- Pitrelli

    4- Broderick

    5-Jeff

    6- Glen

  • do you like dean guitars better than esp?. YEAH!!!!!

  • everyone are making list about the best guitarrists that Megadeth had, so...

    1-Marty

    2-Poland

    3-Broderick

    4-Jeff

    5-Glen

    6-Pritelli

  • @pchermidafilho97 Jeff sucks

  • WTF, did he just improvise something awesome into Dawn Patrol?!

  • hahaha, him playing tornado of souls really shows his lack of creative input in the band, that solo was made by marty. Al pitrelli is an excellent guitar player, his bends, reach the magnitude of feeling that Dave has. I've seen Glen play alot, and he over bends notes, even now that he's with testament! I was expecting alex skolnick, and then i see glen drover come in and kill alex's solo's.

  • Why is he playing this? It's a Marty Friedman solo not his. Definitely his best cover of it though. If he's gonna play by himself shouldn't play some of HIS music or something? Like Eidolon

  • chris>mart>glen>poland>anybody­ else

  • @zetanbow16

    I like Poland very much, as he has his very own distinctive style.

    Listen to his instrumental album "Return to Metalopolis"

  • @ulizinho yeah i know hes good but how can he be better than the machine anima demigod beast chris broderick

  • @zetanbow16

    OK, I checked some of his videos here. Excellent.

    Even better then Yngwie Malmsteen as he can also do classical guitar with finger picking. Excellent man.

  • @zetanbow16 because Drover has a open invitation to rejoin Megadeth anytime he wants too, according to Dave!

  • @beano1eye No he doesnt. he wouldnt kick broderick for drover. he left to be with his family.

  • @skaterobban so you are disagreeing with what Dave Mustaine has been quoted saying himself? do you even know his brother is in Megadeth, and Dave has said he would like to play with them both in Megadeth again, you need a copy of Megadeth for dummies dude!

  • @beano1eye Tss anyone with half a brain knows he wouldnt. hes even said broderick is the best guitarist megadeth has ever had. do u think with all this success with their best guitar player theyre gonna step back to a shittier? hard to think for yourself is it dumb fuck.

  • @zetanbow16 I'd rank Marty over Chris.

    Not because of the technique, because Chris have better technique...

    But Marty can actually compose real guitar solos with both technique and soul.

  • Hes my Guitar teacher

  • @TheBreezyjackson your fucking lucky then

  • Comment removed

  • @s1r0tt iknoe :)

  • @TheBreezyjackson

    Funny because as soon as Glen Drover left Megadeth, Dave went to Musicians Institute in Hollywood and took Chris Brodrick. He was my buddies private lessons teacher! He was a rad dude!

  • @MetalRevolver2007 yes he is!! :)

  • damn, this guy does martys solo better than chris broderick. chris is too fast and robotic. glen puts some feel into it. something chris lacks. too much concentration on his mass "technical" skills maybe? technical skill verses raw talent... I'd take raw talent anyday and thats why marty is the only guitar player I recognize as megadeth. poland got it started but screwed up. glen was just a filler unfortunately, broderick just sticks out like a big sore thumb.

  • why the heck didnt he play the solo close to the studio version even though when he could , damn that got him negative reviews

  • very polandish guitar player

  • you set up his gear? what was his set up? i see the marshall in the back, what model?

    Cheers

  • nailed it 

  • Forget not Eidolon! \m/

  • why so serious face man

  • why did he left megadeth?

  • In January 2008 Glen Drover left Megadeth to focus on family life and the constant touring was starting to have a negative effect on him, his last show with them was on November 18, 2007 in Brisbane, Australia.

  • he doesn't look happy...

  • glen drover es uno de los mejores q paso por megadeth!!

    sos un capo loco, me gustas mas q broderick me parece man!

    sos unico gordo!

  • i love glen´s Deans

  • Marty> Glen> Poland > al pitrelli > boderick

  • @fckugler no, thats wrong, in order, marty, broderick, glen. poland. pritrelli, thats right.

  • @fckugler Pretty much that. I'd only swap Drover with Poland.

  • @fckugler CHRIS BRODERICK > Marty >Glen > Poland > Al Pitrelli

    THIS IS CORRECT, CHRIS IS BETTER, HE PLAYS ALL MEGADETH'S SOLOS TOTALLY PERFECT, THE SAME SOUNDS ALL IT'S FUCKING GREAT, MARTY, GLEN, PPOLAND AND AL PLAY SOME PARTS WRONG, ALWAYS PLAY THE SOLOS INCOMPLETE AND WITH SOME IMPROVISATION, THIS IS NOS GOOD FOR ME !!

  • @darktony8 Wtf are u talking? 80% of all megadeths solos are created by marty riedman. Broderick is a robot. His solos dont have feeling. Broderick has the best technique. But nobody can play it better than the one who invented all those great solos(friedman).

  • @fckugler 1 THING IS PLAY, THE OTHER IS CREATE, AND BRODERICK HAVE FEELING, SO DON'T SAY THAT, I AGREE THAT MARTY IS THE BEST IN CREATION, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MARTY CAN'T PLAY HIS OWN SOLOS PERFECT AS CHRIS, FOR ME CHRIS IS THE BEST PLAYING, MARTY CREATING lml

  • @darktony8 take of the fucking caps dude

  • @4everRock666 JAJAJAJAJAJA, FUCK OFF JAJA

  • @darktony8 lol tard.

  • @4everRock666 lol stupid

  • @darktony8 sweet you took off the caps! :D

  • @4everRock666 ...

  • @darktony8 playing solos is like playing jazz..they're not meant to be played the same way twice

  • @darktony8

    Glen and Broderick better then Poland?!

    Broderick better then Marty?!

    You obviously dont play guitar, Broderick is what you called a"guitar nerd" he plays the solos by a book and his solos are nothing else but shredding, Marty sometimes did improve his solos but it sounded awesome. Glen was the worst guitarist ever, he improvised every fucking solo except songs from UA album Jeff Young was alot better . As much as Broderick plays perfect solos, Poland and Marty pwn him both.

  • @Chester1004 I obviously guitar jaja

  • @Chester1004

    The worst? What about Al Pitrelli?

  • @basslf7

    I dont know i prefer United Abominations more than The World Needs a Hero

  • @Chester1004 Broderick is a better player in the sense he plays everything exactly perfect, Marty and Poland are better composers, they both made memorable solos, the likes of which I am certain Broderick will never obtain. I agree though, Glen wasn't as good as any of the previous players except Kerry King back in like 84 hahaha.

  • @Death8498 yeah, Broderick is not a good composer, in this case I miss Marty....where is Marty, Japan?....

  • @johannardox Yes, he resides in Japan now, hes on a Japanese music show where he plays guitar, or talks about rock and metal music. I can't remember the name of the show though, it might simply be Rock Japan, but I'm not sure.

  • @Death8498 Rock Fujiyama!

  • @4everRock666 Thats it! Thanks man! I totally forgot it hahaha, they have clips of the show on youtube, it actually looks like a pretty rad show.

  • @johannardox broderick isn't as good at composing as marty but i wouldnt say he's a bad composer. the solo in How the Story Ends is sick

  • he kinda looks like bob rock

  • @hotdoggravy agree

  • He is a master dudes... !!!!!

  • i hope you people know that this was playback

  • @bergAgreb He actually played on top of the solo playback

  • he didn't play there . this solo is playback.

  • this is the proof that glen is the great guitarist and can play that damned solo

    in your face haters!

  • @davemurray16 yeah yeah..great he can play the solo...IN A FUCKING A STUDIO!!! any kid with some experience can do that!Youtube is full of people playing that solo....

  • Comment removed

  • I have nothing against Glen ... but to me, when I you play other people's stuff, you have to play it right. It's not the time for improv ... There's part he just can't play ... in this video and here (HRQmvRW5sCM) ...

    #1 : Marty Friedman (nobody can play it better than the one who invented all those great solos)

    #2 : Broderick Played very close to Marty and very smoothly

    #3 : Pitrelli ... a lot of energy !

  • but i thing that marty sometimes lose it at the fast part, Broderick can play this solo and drink coffe at the same time

  • I actually think Broderick handles the solo better then Marty himself. Live I mean. Marty couldn't really play it as well live in my opinion.

  • PS: Sorry for the mistakes that may have to write... even in this comment hahaha

  • 0:00 - 7:50 Fantastic 3:08 - 4:11 Soooooo EPIC!!! Glen FTW!!!

    The only reason because him didn't play this solo exactly on a live performance, it's beacuse HE IS NOT a IMITATOR!!! He had/put his own feeling in everything that he did on megadeth, even live performances... AND that's it!!! AMEN XDXD

  • Granted, he shows more expressions when playing, but he decided to leave and personally suggested Chris for the job. Chris is doing an excellent job as lead, so did Al Pitrelli and Chris Poland back in their days.. not to mention Marty... they all had their run and were all Gods at it. Except for Jeff, he can suck d|ck for all I care...

  • did u read the interview where he slammed mustaine

  • @lavarium well along with chris brod jeff is graduated in music . hes the most underrated guitarrist that was in megadeth.. the trth is that marty while he did all those great solos he never played them very well live ... just loolk at his work now he plays pop crap in japan and cant play like he did in RIP days... and take a look to jeffs work now he has lots of projects from hard rock to classical music so give some credit to jeff he did an amazing job in megadeth...

  • Nobody plays this better than Marty

  • that's right!! marty friedman rules!!

  • @AnonymousXZX

    Broderick does )

  • @VitoZZZru No he doesn't

  • @AnonymousXZX Dave does!

  • One of the best guitarists around!

  • Comment removed

  • lol.. he looks the exact same. he was ym guitar teacher over the summer... dont believe me hes canadian... im in canada and he teaches...

  • He nailed it. His live performances are not very consistent, though.

  • Yer I agree, this was the only decent cover of this solo but I have seen him live and agree with you also

  • One thing I just noticed though,...I can hear the original solo in the background. This is not a backing track hes playing over its the actual song

  • Thats true.. I don't why you were thumbed down

  • Glen is very underrated, he did a great job in United Abominations, not only the soloing

  • @Mutahnt agreed

  • @Mutahnt agree with you entirely. Glen Drover is one heck of a guitar player.

  • @Mutahnt I honestly feel Glen was the best guitarist they've had since Marty. By best guitarist I don't mean technical skill (though he certainly has that, I must admit Chris and Al had him beat in those departments) I mean in terms of chemistry with the band, a fantastic sense of melody, atmosphere and stage presence, and just the ability to compliment Megadeth as effectively as he did. There's more to a great guitarist than just raw technical skill, and Glen definitely had those qualities.

  • @ShowNoMercy502 WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!? Marty, Doug and Chris broderick are the only ones that matter... the rest are nobodies...

  • @ShowNoMercy502

    I totally agree

  • Comment removed

  • @ShowNoMercy502 I think that he's better than Al at all!

  • @Xardian7 are you serious!

    i fear not!

  • @ShowNoMercy502 yes!

    you are right!

    glen presents himself beautifully

  • @Mutahnt yeah he's most definitely better than al pitrelli

  • @eroticblack

    WTF??? Pitrelli is way better than Glenn Drover

  • @matbeckeresurrected ok ok... but marty, or chris, or even dave, are all better than em both!!!

  • god he is good!! dude i mean its sounded just like martys solo!!

  • Jackson Guitars > Dean Guitars...

  • Anyone KNOW why they left Jackson and went to Dean?

  • Both Jackson and Charvel models are being produced at Corona. This had short term negative consequences, as much of the artists who were on the company's roster list in the 1980s and 1990s left to endorse other guitar companies.

  • dean is better i like jacksons and all but dean are better cause of what they have

  • what does Dean have that is better?

  • pick ups, woos the feel, how they're made just i cant name them all off the bat but i like ibanez guitars better

  • dave uses"live wire pickups"

  • i know i have one of his signature guitars

  • ive got emgs but my seymores sound just as good apart from the clean tone,ive heard dave say they make his sound which i cant get for shit,and ive got all thegear,are the live wires that good?

  • @domothemetalgod try a dimarzio dactivator, they give you more tone and amazing harmonics glens replacement uses them I also use one in my 7-string at the bridge trust me it will give you the sound you are looking for.

  • you sure man,i want to sound like mustaine,see his livewires on e bay are the deactivators active?cheers.

  • @domothemetalgod yes, the dactivator's were designed to fix any problems you have to sound like him and the reason you aren't sounding like mustaine isn't just the pickup you also have to understand his full custom rig that also gives him his sound but the sound he gets also comes from his custom rig.

  • @razoredv agreed...jacksons took a shit when Fender bought them out...but, the older versions beat Dean 2 to 1...

  • yea the old ones are better

  • @BubbaB666 because, Fender bought out Jackson Guitars, and turned all of their models to shit....

  • thnx guys. I didn't know Fender bought them.

  • I love his Dean Caddy!

  • People misunderstand and underestimate Glen. He was not trying to show off with his technique or replicate past players. He was playing old solos differently not because he couldn't do in the original way, but he was feeling more comfortable my making them his own, by bending them.

    I really liked his contribution, but he suffered from playing with Megadeth with the album that has the worst 6 songs to finish an album.

  • that's 'cause people have the idea that "MARTY OWNS MEGADETH" (lead guitar), people don't accept the idea of seeing another guitarist playing Marty's solos by their own way, and only expect to do the same (EXACT) sound as in the previous albums.

    and, of course, If they watch Marty's last works in Megadeth changing and improvising his solos, they say that it's better than the recorded versions..

    Yeah, and you finally read that comments saying: "WTF!!???"

  • every player that Dave has recruited has been excellent in his own way...above all, Marty Friedman was the best for Megadeth!

  • ye and then he said megadeth isnt aggressive enough for him and now hes doing japanese punk music ROFLMAO

  • @666Kaca i heard he went back to his original band...

  • talking about marty or glen?Glen never really left Eidolon but marty went to some japanese "hard rock" band and now hes producing japanese pop and punk.Talk about aggressivness DAMN
