alot of the bands at that time would have pretty much the same formula. every song would have a middle part where a solo would be put. was never a huge fan. but with megadeth, their solos were such a big part of every one of their songs

I think both of them are unhinged

Hot take but Peace Sells had the best guitar solos of Megadeths career.

Dave's solos are highly thematic and varied while Chris' are kinda chop show off shredding. it has always been more or less like that regardless of the current lead guitarist, each in his own style, and this is incredibly similar to what happened with Chuck and his lead players in Death from Spiritual Healing onwards.

какая красота, елки палки, могу вечно слушать

I love how raw the guitars sound in this album.

I wish dave would release the original drum tracks from kimb.

Dave’s sloppiness (literally matches his look) and Chris’ cleanliness is just an awesome contrast. Dave makes you want to punch the wall and break stuff and Chris makes you close your eyes and just feel the music. F*****g legendary.

sick...

It's really amazing how much these solos are seared in my brain. 🤘

chris poland's legato technique should be studied in universities because holy fuck

can you please do one sfsgsw and rip?

I do have to say that Chris solos are greatly crafted and well put together i don't think that he ever got the credit he deserves on this album very talented

Love seeing metal drummers with jazz influences, really shows at places like 3:11, with the snare rolls. Gar had dynamic, which is what made him so unique. Don't do drugs.

La version de Dave suena sucia, a lo Kirk. La de Chris suena muy limpia.

As good as Mustaine is, Poland's playing really stands out as pristine. Damn incredible! I'm going to learn this album.

So sexy love this album turns me on!!!!

Love Dave but man he doesn't stack up to CP in any way. So much slop and noise, missed picks, open strings, etc

Wow

These are some of the most beautiful 80's solos.

Poland is so tasteful. The legato is so clean and the bends are so epic/unique. Dave getting two lead players as unique as Poland and Marty is like 1/1,000,000,000 chance.

when Chris came in wake up dead i just started laughing bro, that tone along with the lick is so good

To me, it seems like he's swinging the entire time in a metal song.

2:09 that's not Chris' solo, that's Dave's. At 2:15 yes that's Chris, but before it's Dave. You gotta know the differences between Mustaine and Poland's tone.

Some of Dave's best solos are on this album and Killing..while Poland is clean and has phenomenal legato, the solos sound very improvised and don't have a hell of a lot of melodic phrasing.They are all pretty samey but still killer. I prefer Mustaine's leads mostly because in the mix they sound great and his solos have a lot of cool phrasing...isolated they are quite noisy.

5:25 love this solo so much, easily my fav dave solo

That harmonic at the end of the run at 4:50 is so damn tasteful

Would have been extremely interesting if Chris Poland got to say on and do one or 2 more albums with megadeth an extremely under rated guitarist

6:00 underrated

1:05

Love Poland’s outra solo for “Peace Sells” it’s so fluid with amazing and unique tone.

I prefer Chris Polands sound over any other Megadeth guitarist including Dave Mustaine.

2:09 is Dave’s but I could see where people would think it’s Poland’s

Chris Poland has that Jeff beck type of feel as well as jazz and those bends and stretch

1:55

Chris Poland is a great player

That Snare 8s Heaven 🙏🤘👍

Poland is another level

That outro solo by Mustaine on Wake Up Dead is one of my favorite solos ever

One of my favorite instrumental albums is Chris Poland return to metalopolis....kicks ass!

Dave's last solo in Wake up dead kinda sounds reversed, or is that just buggy audio in the background?

Chris was so under appreciated. Phenomenal guitarist, and sounds so clean in his playing. I wish I could’ve seen him play back in the 80’s.

I love Marty and Broderick but Chris Poland is so crisp and has so much feeling.

Fuck. Yeah. <3 Gar

R.I.P legend

Mustaine : Shred Demon Marty : Shred Angel Poland : Shred Alien 😂🤣

You don’t really understand how hard this shit is until you here just them isolated

Crazy to think Chris Poland used a Rockman x100 for these leads

Mustaine's solos aim for a kind of "evil" sound hence the lack of melody. However barring the solo at 1:19 most of them indeed sound very sloppy while using the same kind of scale and trying to shred every time instead of letting it ring. Although Mustaine's solo at 0:44 is fitting for the song. Intro solos at 1:19, 1:47 and 3:02 also fits the songs. At 3:28 you have some Van Halen influence. Poland's solos OTOH sound melodic, diverse and he's capable of reaching the same evil atmospheric (e.g.: 4:33) while he uses a lot more scales than Mustaine not to mention his playing is very clean in comparison. Also Mustaine and Poland are using different effects in their guitars.
