Byzantine - Tornado of Souls featuring Nick Menza

[@AlpcanAras]

I didn’t expect that vocal tone from that guy.

[@lordofthestrings212]

Give “Vile Maxim” a spin.

[@damonjohnson8337]

Yeah he nailed the vocals and that iconic solo. He has a good voice, love his vocals on Byzantines Justinian Code. The band as a whole are just damn good.

[@bruceyoon49]

저도 그럴줄 몰랐네요.. 그런데 잘하네요 데이브보다😂

[@Pr1me_Zer0]

Sounds like if Dave spent time learning to sing correctly... lol. Not that I dislike Dave's vocals, but it's got to hurt to sing like that.

[@weiner01103]

@@Pr1me_Zer0 dave's vocals fits perfectly

[@Noitavasara]

As if by magic, Nick's drumming just makes this song sound right... Great job on everything else too! Specially the vocals are amazing! Who ever is making up all this cool stuff here, its really nice. Nick is so badly missed, this kind of projects are so totally cool thing to get. I wish I had had the chance to meet him.... He's the very reason I picked up the sticks myself, my childhood drumming hero and one of the most kick ass mind blowing metal drummers to ever walk this planet. Long live Nick Menza!

[@Addam1978]

This is some friends of mine, they’re bands called Byzantine. They’re from WV. Check out they’re other stuff.

[@MrDemoncrusher]

Totally agree. Whoever is administrating Nicks account now is providing a warm legacy that hopefully will endure for many years to come.

[@sergioponti]

The testament to the awesome drummer Nick was is that with his timing, feel and sound, this sounds more Megadeth than any incarnation of Megadeth to ever play this song. And I mean this with the outmost respect to all of them. Great work, the whole band!!!

[@allanwilliams317]

🌬️🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁#Top 5 drummer to me 💯 most definitely ledgendary status he will be missed 😥

[@jean-noelcollard4583]

Vocals are amazing? where is the Mustaine's energy?

[@BogartedJoint696]

Those guys are great but my boy Nick belonged in MD. Period. Idk about Dave now but thanks Dave... RIP Nick M. ✌🏻❤️💨🤘🏻

[@Simon-T.]

Great job all. RIP an absolute drumming legend.

[@tdu5777]

Tuned in to watch Menza thinking it might be an ok cover. This might be one of the best covers I've ever heard. Great vocals.

[@GhostFacedrummer]

I’m a 15 year old drummer and Nick’s drumming inspired me to pick up the sticks! Just did a collab to celebrate Rust In Peace’s 30th anniversary. May Nick RIP 🤘🤘

[@TheNewBerser]

Beat the living crap of the drums like he did, and don't forget the attitude. That was one of the big things that made Nick, IMO, the Boham of thrash.

@@gamernickdev Gene is very underrated his playing on darkness descends is insane

[@Hellwyck]

Nick was power but he respected his instrument, he didn't just "beat the shit out of them". Nick is an inspiration to a lot of us - well done!

[@thrashmetalambassador]

Such a great cover! Byzantine is a hell of a band and criminally underrated. Love this video. RIP Nick Menza. 🤘🏼☢️❤️

[@metaldad1967]

Maybe by others, but not by fans like you and me! I actually thought Chris was gonna sing. He could nail the vocal part as well. Their cover of Servitude was awesome as well!

[@jessefoster8981]

@@metaldad1967 what about that cover of Pisschrist?!?! Holy hell, they nail it!!

[@csi2448]

Byzantine is easily one of the most underrated bands out there. They've put out some amazing music!! OJ is honestly one of the best rhythm guitarists in metal

[@stickfigure9138]

Fact

[@Addam1978]

The Byz kick Ass!

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

Undoubtedly ✌️

[@jessefoster8981]

Amen!!

[@damonjohnson8337]

No doubt. Killer band as a whole. OJ looks like a young Metal as f&$k version of Sean Connery.

[@galosilva9693]

☢NICK MENZA☢ se le extraña MAESTRO.....

[@Mouth4War88]

Wow!!! I wasn’t expecting that!!! Probably the best cover of this song i’ve heard

[@replicant8532]

Stellar performance. I really like the vocals too.

[@olderama]

Nailed that solo wow 😮 awesome 👏

[@luisderinger840]

This is probably one of the best covers I've ever seen and it helps that nick was on the drums! RIP nick menza gone to soon!

[@embatrion]

Dudes... This is the best "Megadeth" video I ever seen 🤣🤣👊🏽👊🏽

[@brendanjones528]

Awesome and powerful performance by all involved. Top notch. Byzantine are so underrated and Nick Menza is pure class and plays with passion, sorely missed but not forgotten...r.i.p...legend

[@blackmetalbreadstick]

Always a pleasure hearing Megadeth songs with a singer who can... sing.

[@adamwright9741]

A fantastic song from the one album I've ever said to everybody should be put into some time capsule for the future of the human race! And a cover of this magnitude with what was rightfully said is one of rocks top 5 drummers... Bravissimo!

[@stevefoley7109]

super bad ass..nailed Marty's solo....and the dude is wearing a Wrathchild America shirt too....saw those guys with Pantera back in the day

[@DushtYantr]

KZbin: Byzantine - The Agonies

[@jessefoster8981]

Also, the song Efficacy by Byzantine

[@deadndrumming5372]

Okay, that fucking rocked. Tight as hell, great solo and sweet Corrosion of Conformity shirt! I saw Megadeth three times with Menza. He's missed.

[@hyokkorichin]

I don't even listen to this kind of music, and I'm transfixed by this. This is amazing.

[@ericrojasvelez8891]

Oh god....megadeth best line up...nick and marty...broderick hell of a back up vocal....and kiko real great....bottom line...mustaine is blessed by amazing musicians

[@reybasister4422]

Only nick menza can do that fills, no one else...RIP Master

[@harveybeekerthegreysquirre8262]

One of my favorite Drummers of all time

[@cyrilstut]

RIP Nick, i have the chance to see you live in 91 👍

[@chris-thumper7205]

One of THE BEST renditions of this song I've ever heard!!!

[@johnthomas9430]

Goddammit... Nick, you were taken way too soon. You were my biggest influence, right there with Neil, and more so as your style really meshed with my minds ear. I hope one day I’ll be able to jam with you. R.I.P. Nick 🖤🖤

[@MishaHendrix]

Nailed it! Best version overall I heard anybody play in the last couple of years of this song. Nick Menza was such a great drummer! I was a kid when Rust in Peace came out but it absolutely blew me away, and was the best album for me for the next 5 years of my life, still top 10 of all time in my book.

[@daddysullivan87]

Best thing ive heard and watched in about 6 months

[@Swart781]

Thank you for releasing this, I am a all time NICK MENZA MEGADETH ABSOLUTELE 4 FAN DAVE&DAVE and NICK AND MARTY. this means a lot

[@djw2370]

This is fantastic! Byzantine is one of the most underrated metal bands. Somewhere they have a cover of Frayed Ends of Sanity by Metallica that is incredible as well. The metal world should give them their due!

[@mojorisin7371]

Is it sacrilege to say this is better then the original. The singer is amazing and did a great job on the solo. Nick was always amazing on the drums and definitely missed and the bass and rhythm was spot on. Great job guys ✌🏽❤

[@guitarabominations1266]

Nicks playing made Megadeth great

[@viprdude]

Legend at work. Thank you, sir.

[@lslsyt]

Congrats!!! Great Tornado cover! Menza was an absolute drumming god and his groove is noticeable here! Didn't know this band up until now, you guys are amazing! Great singing - it shows how hard it really is to reach Mustaine tone!!! Back to drumming and lineups: I absolutely love Mega in all lineups, but I always thought Menza/Friedman/Ellefson could hardly be replaced!!!

[@indian3750]

Ok so this guy does what marty and dave does both flawlessly. Just amazing

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Fantastic just fantastic, I have often played along to this song beat for beat perfect , yet still when I've listened to the recordings I've made I don't sound like nick ,even though I'm playing what he played , drums are very very personal and the way a drummer hits the drum,the type of stick , the personal energy and enthusiasm of each drummer is different and can be heard in their playing.
