Chris Poland - Return to Metalopolis (live)

[bittersylence1]

Sweet.

[turboneger]

I have to say, Chris is a very complete guitarist to me. He has it! Technical skills like his amazing legato runs, but also alot of control over the instrument...

[emosucks89]

I think the most impressive thing is that he was able to pull this off with only one guitar! Metalopolis was very layered, but this proves the core of the material is strong enough to stand on its own without all of the studio bullshit, and that's hard to do.

[2309davidobando]

if this album sells in colombia i will the first person who bought it

[MessiahForce]

poland sux boring riffs =P

[narfire214]

@MessiahForce shows how little you know about music, poland's riffs here are flat out epic

[uhokstupid]

@MessiahForce dumbass. seeing you cant even spell "sucks" correctly. that means your opinions are complete utter shit and have no meaning at all. to say chris poland sucks is like saying your mom has never been touched by a man in her life.

[austin2460]

@MessiahForce Enter sandman has a boring riff.

[MessiahForce]

@austin2460 true xd

[EVEROSFP1]

This is a fine example of playing the guitar with loads of personality...God bless you Chris.

[crabclaw333]

Poland kicks ass.

[twojemytoes]

chris souns so lazy when he plays like hes just kinda fooling around but somehow manages to make it AMAZING one of my favorite guitar players ever

[DimitriVHefley]

I wish I could find tabs for the solos, fuckin sweet.

[FromParadiseCity]

2:30 - 2:37= best guitar ever!

[thinkgeek0101]

@FromParadiseCity yeah i love how he finishes that solo up.. no one shares his style.. he is so fluid.. i dont know anyone that sounds remotely like him

[moonsault2506123]

chris boots buttocks!.

[kingv911]

it's too bad there's no rythem guitarist here to back him up.  Still awesome, but less punch than the album without rythem backing him up during solos.

[goestovalium11]

GD amn, Dave needs to wake up and get Chris back in MEGADETH.

[narfire214]

@goestovalium11 he's tried to get chris back like 3 times but chris never stayed, remember the system has failed, chris was lead guitar in studio ther but didn't tour for the cd

[Megadedly]

@goestovalium11 Too late for that.

[jonesey5168]

@goestovalium11 Don't worry, he'll be there when Megadeth is finally inducted into the RRHOF

[uofm97]

Chris looks like a chemistry professor and yet shreds with the best of them. That's what I like about him; he seems so unassuming and ordinary when he speaks that it really surprises you when he pulls off what seems like the impossible.

[606thecliff]

Chris Poland > Every other lead guitarist that has been in Megadeth

[ToaJoe]

@606thecliff Poland and Friedman are the two best, but it's too difficult to compare Poland and Friedman.

[amerahk]

man this gives me goosebumps every time

[MrOrange121]

Return to Metalopolis has got to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Great songs, great riffs, GODLY solos.

[Dolenza]

Why doesn't everybody know about this??? I saw ohm at a clinic in anneheim last year, and it was fucking brilliant! Chris deserves so much more!!!

[DimitriVHefley]

if you dont like this, youre a douche bag

[ChrisY2JJ]

WOW. Where did you find this live version? I would love to hear/see some live Chris Poland stuff from the early 90s. I saw Damn The Machine twice in 1993, and they were great. Sadly, I've never seen a bootleg pop up anywhere.

[Studas2006]

sounds almost like the record. Top stuff. Did you guys hear Poland's contribution to The System Has Failed? pretty good

[caravanrocker69]

sound fuckin ace 2 me!!!!!!

[MrThrashZone]

Dude he was not refering to broderick.. I've seen it... the clip where he says it.. I says Chris poland.

[emosucks89]

It's amazing that he was able to pull this off live, especially with only one guitar!

[guitarclaydo]

its hard to believe that poland was a junkie and a liar as they say, in his interviews he seems so nice and chill...

[cinae20]

I think when he (Dave) said that he was refering to Chris Broderick when he said that

[yookoke112]

Chris vs marty.....

well i don't know but

dave mustaine said chris has been the best guitarist so far in megadeth history.

[Conor311]

guys a fuckin legend man....quite possibly my favorite guitarist of all time...the solo he laid down in ashes of the wake might be the best metal solo of all time.... Morton and Willie Adler are pretty damn good though

[aleemr]

morton and adler may be good for log, but lead wise not a patch on mr poland

[renDerde]

Sounds like Gar drumming..

[racer500gp]

It's Mark Poland, Chris' little brother on drums.

[underoath115]

dude what software u use to make photos as video??

[kirsh]

windows movie maker. but first you have to delete your system32 folder or you'll get a lot of latency

[heresyisprogress]

kirsh said: "but first you have to delete your system32 folder"

haha.... what a dick move, brah...

[queteimportaguey]

i hate clips w/no live imiges....

[Toxisist]

can someone tell me what band chris poland is from?

megadeth?

[s15specs]

yes, from around 1985

[mtfr]

He's been in Megadeth for just a few years. Dunno what he did since, but I think I read he's in a band Ohm now.

Damn he's good.

[KillForPleasure666]

Dave said he sold all the bands equipment for drug money like heroin

and that he lied about doing all of that

later dave made the song"Liar" directed to him

[erasmation]

this is chris .. of megadeth?

[Zusik12900]

yes, the one and the same, this is his first solo album he released about 19 years ago, geez hhh

[Samthemuffinman]

Where can you find this stuff? Anywhere?

[lazychump]

are you new to the internet? :D

[AntarcticanCommunist]

Support Poland, he deserves to have millions buy his albums!

[megadeth439]

[megadeth439]

idk i am trying to figure out the same thing this song is amazing

[megadeth439]

wow i repyed my own comment the tuning is 1/4 step if ne 1 cares

[demberywea]

i thinnk is 1 and half tune step down

[megadeth439]

i am pritty shure its 1/4 tuning i tried every other tuning

[hosto]

the drummer sounds a little bit like gar.. kind of

[AndreasLuna]

Agreed, they (OHM) play the same type of music that Chris and Gar used to play together.

Fun Fact; the drummer, Kofi Baker, is the son of legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker:)

[SCGuitarGuy34]

Great song... Chris has such a great unorthodox style. Love it!

[invertedchords]

its a shame he used to be a smack head

[Marzafiry]

no u

[guitarman324]

He's a great guitar player, way underated, but this drummer sucks balls.

[Marzafiry]

no u

[JohnReleased]

i have this album in vynil!It is kickass!

[emosucks89]

I can't believe that he pulled this song off live... Most underrated guitar player EVER!

[romaneberle]

support chris poland! buy his albums! :)

[BeyondTheGates87]

yeah, this is definately a guy whose music should be BOUGHT.

[pf008]

Yeah, thanks for posting. I've been searching Youtube for CP stuff too. Not a whole lot. I did RE-buy the metalopolis CD off Ebay like a month ago and maybe I can post all the songs off it? Can I do that without getting locked up and fucked by 10 horny prisoners?

[zmov1]

Awesome dude! TY for posting!

[BlooBeluga]

man, he kills that solo! i gotta buy that album again

[BernietheShredder]

Classic Chris Poland right there!

Woulda killed for a video tho...
