Chris Poland Eminence Speaker demo NAMM 2010

[haggismuncher]

Couldn't have said it any better my friend!!!:)

[Sythofin]

00:40 when he comes down on that run and finishes with that bend... so fucking cool. such a great musician too

[MrEyebrowz]

i love how half the time when hes shredding hes not even looking at his guitar, hes like talking or hes looking somewhere else. XD

[Sythofin]

his bends are beautiful

[TheFlyers09]

the gum chewing cameraman is beyond irritating wtf?

[DeviliX1]

Poor amp guy.... Any other guitarist would have been in heaven.... But mr. Poland knows what he wants (btw the pedal/amp guy isn't an idiot.. he sees the talent, and responds 100% proff. to everything)

[minddistortionTM]

I think most part of Poland unique tone comes from his playing, not just the amp.

[Panthur]

Is the camera guy chewing gum ?. Video is ruined because that is one disgusting sound !.

[Panthur]

3:55 .. is the camera operator chewing gum ? Disgusting !

[Lewphil]

When I hear Chris play I feel like I did when I was first blown away by rock when I was a kid; I just want to put up posters of Lamborghini's and semi naked women on my wall. He is a true guitar hero

[Sythofin]

i have to change my boxers every time i watch this

[daw162]

OK, completely confirmed - every member of megadeth (ever) is better than any member of metallica (ever).

I never followed where poland went after megadeth, but he's sure as hell good!

[kytrev27]

@daw162 Your soo true friend.Every memeber of Megadeth is,was and will always be better than every memeber of Metallica.

[Heineken1712]

@kytrev27 lol but if you measure it with money i would say metallica are way better in earning money :P

[kytrev27]

@Heineken1712 Yeah Commercilisation bro your right.Earning Money Metallica but Gods of Thrash Metal MEGADETH.

[zzzhuh]

at 7:55 there is a second where it mutes because even the camera has to jizz

[christopheryou]

wow gotta love those bends

[bloodthirst72]

I don't think I've ever heard any one quite so smooth. Even when he speedpicks it somehow sounds very fluid.

[pennekre]

6:20 is what happened to my hair the first time I heard Chris Poland shred. :D

[MrEyebrowz]

@pennekre your comment made me laugh haha XD loll

[MarshallVamp]

Poland FUCKING RULES !!! I could listen to him fiddling around like that all day. \m/

[zzzhuh]

at 6:44 he was looking at the girl's hair and was still playing....fucking master!

[alienlawenforcer]

He is the best and most humble person you could ever meet. He has been to hell and back. Known him for over 20 years, he never ceases to amaze me

[rockermetalhead1200]

Man, Chris puts so much emotion and melody into his shredding, just listen to that sound man, sounds really bluesy too

[1madaboutguitar]

6:42 Melt your fuckin face off soloing. So ridiculously clean...

[ciaran3707]

I've never heard any one smoother than Chris. He makes it sound so natural

[clovis2012]

I don't anyone realizes just how far ahead of the pack Chris Poland is. No one else combines the techniques he does and creates such an original sound out of his improvisations. Chris Poland FTW

[nbcviper]

Fuck can he SHRED!

[alexpns]

It's incredible, he uses like 15 different sounds and yet you can immediately tell it's him.

[Composer19691]

Chris's technique mystifies me. Sweep picking and legato? Alt picking? He's vastly under appreciated.

[ChoppaHed760]

Chris Poland > Marty Friedman

[cooliovasquez]

@ChoppaHed760 more like > every megadeth guitarist

[MrEyebrowz]

@cooliovasquez more like > every guitarist in the world ;)

[seaman1737]

was he self taught or was he taught when he started playing? please reply back. Thanks you.

[ezequieldavid]

LoL when they all look at the girl with that hair. Holy shit I've never seen any hairstyle like that before.

[clikityclak]

I dont really give a shit about the amp i just came here to hear poland shred!

[xXxBuLLeTxXx1]

@clikityclak haha same dude i love poland, i wish gar never died so they could jam together

[theripper013ok]

@clikityclak

exactly...

and watching him play

[Alejandro4891]

chris poland is a bad-ass. i love his playing with megadeth, ohm and his solo shit. my guitar instructor had the pleasure of seeing him live at the 40th anniversary of the baked potato and go to meet him.

[jabladav]

somebody is wearing some gum out in the background! Chris is the man. I wish I could hear the comments to Chris about the details of the speakers better. Thanks for posting.

[etzelgame]

any idea what amp was used here?

[texassurfer]

@etzelgame its the amp right in front of the camera view with the Blue Light on. I cant recall but I think it may have been a VHT. Its not Chris' normal amp but he seemed to really like the sustain and lead sound on it. He just walked in and thats what they had set up for him

[haggismuncher]

Chris is one of the most unique players around in the metal genre, i love his phrasing!!!

[RevilationGuitar91]

@haggismuncher he's not actually metal man, i can hear that he plays more like blues and jazz music.

[guitarsehole]

@haggismuncher Fuck yeah! And not a harmonic minor scale in sight!! Just freefalling.

His playing MADE those first two Megadeth albums! His solo album Chasing The Sun is awesome...kinda like Joe Satriani but with a jazzy alien vibe.

[EthnHayabusa]

I don't know how I missed this video for 4 months. Thanks for posting it.

[gunsproof]

Chris burned one of his fingers but i dind't know wich xD

That's the reason why he play like that with his left hand

[elegyrulz]

he looka like a Gambale! lol

[cbfeeling]

To whom ever filmed this, the speaker picked up your obnoxious gum chewing.

[JerichBlakk]

chris is an...awesome player and....what a well rounded player...does he use Eminence speakers usually? and what ones?

[dreg691]

What a great player. I was lucky enough to be in the room when this was shot (the orange shirt you see at 4:19 is me). Chris is a monster.

[assholefuckerjackass]

The secret to tone: ... Hair that could withstand a hurricane.

[TheDistortionist]

Ingenious.
