@TKbassboomer On the contrary his latest work at guitar clinics is more jazzy than when he was in megadeth. The chords, the licks, all very John McLaughlin-esque. Don't know why you say he isn't jazz anymore. Every interview I've seen with him he's mentioned being influenced by jazz and fusion.
@TheWho58 well, Dave Gar and Junior were'nt. It's even funnier because when you read Daves book he says "no fucking eyeliner in this band, and hair down, not up"
@slantyrock lol maybe Dave let that slide because Chris is a jazz musician and he needed good musicians to play in his new band, but who cares what chris looked like he is an amazing guitarist check out Killing is my buisness and Peace Sells
If anyone is interested I uploaded the Good Mourning Black Friday Guitar track on my page, You can hear the difference between Dave and Chris see for yourself and enjoy mates.
Dave Mustaine still looks much the same today as he did back then, though I've noticed in recent interviews his face is a little droopy and he seems to have this "sour" kinda frown.
Gar brought an Element to megadeth that was like a freight train from hell barelling down a winding mountainside with no brakes . The best drummer in Megs . Peace sells album was awesome
Nah, no one hates you. I also agree with you. Marty and Nick are great musicians, and that was an amazing line-up as well as some others. But the Chris-Gar-Ellefson-Dave line up is simply the best. Gar is probably the best drummer Megadeth has ever had. Chris is just great and underrated. Good thing ellefson is back.
@Chester1004 actually... yeah i also think that the best lineup together with the Rust in peace... cause marty (before he became a pussy) and menza were also great artist!!!
@Chester1004 very true about Gar and i feel dave showed off everything he could and always had in that entire album specifically in looking down the cross from killing it was a Mustaine Master piece only this is i dont know if Chris brought enough to the table as Marty did but sure was a different look to megadeth which was fucking amazing
@Chester1004 I hate that people think the RiP lineup is best when this is clearly superior. If only Dave would drop Christianity and start doing drugs again... :(
@smsgrabber so you want dave to become really unhealthy and unstable again? that's really stupid. he seems like a happier person now than he did back then.
@Chester1004 Marty and Chris are the two greatest thrash lead players ever but in very different ways. Marty has the influences from Far Eastern music and Chris has the Jazz influences. You would think it shouldn't really work in a band like Megadeth but credit to Dave for spotting the potential in those styles because those two guys piss over everything else in that genre with ease.
@Chester1004 I agree man. To me those first two albums are the best. Nothing else compares to them. They're just so high energy. Gar was the best drummer for these guys he bought massive amounts of groove to Megadeth. Chris Poland best Megadeth lead guitarist. Ellefson and Mustaine just speak for them selfs. They're the best. I love the RIP line up but it doesn't compare to the first. I find myself listening to Killing is my Buisness and Peace Sells a hell of a lot more than Rust in Peace.
@Chester1004 FINALLY someone who agrees that the KIMB and PSBWB lineup is the best. Gar is easily better than any of the other drummers and Poland fits Mustaine more than any other guitarist.
@Chester1004 i agree everything they made with gar and chris was way better than what they made with marty and nick but gotta admit rust in peace was awesome
@Chester1004 i completly agree i think the first lineup was the best especially in those years you could hear the bass guitar more and rust in peace lineup was 2nd best shawn drover is a good drummer im kinda iffy on chris brodrick but megadeth is still best band ever!!!!!!
drugs kill so many musicians at such young ages. we should just be thankful for the ones still with us today. i remember this lineup very well. thanks so much for posting this!!
There's no way Megadeth was ever gonna keep member's because Dave Mustaine is such a dickhead,he said in the some kinda monster video doc crying at Lars it sucks to be second but they've never been second to me I always thought that that belonged to Slayer who should be first and 3rd would be Testament,4th Exodus 5th Overkill,6thMegadeth based not on record sales but for the die hard thrash fan and 7th Anthrax Metallica's slightly dimwitted brother.
Man Gar was a killer drummer. I quit using nearly a year ago. I was into one heavy substance. Then finally said man I cannot do this shit anymore. Gave it up for my santity and health. That shit was eating me alive so to speak. I would rather not die early. Just sayin.
I bet Gar, Cliff, and Dimebag have a band together in the afterlife in Valhalla playing metal for all the Vikings \m/
