Day Off in Chicago and Memphis + Jam Room in Denver - Kiko Loureiro

[@v12kid]

Kiko and Dirk's warmup is better than 99% of other bands actual songs lol

[@mikica473]

Agree!

[@superblondeDotOrg]

Very embarrassing isnt it..

[@tun-tunninc.6492]

And have u written any hits lately? No?? That's what I thought. Shut up.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

@@tun-tunninc.6492 Kiko never wrote any hits either. So you "shut up".

[@TheCyberMantis]

Because those dudes are wizards. And let's not forget Dirk is also in a DEATH cover band.

[@ibanez7815]

The way Kiko is holding his plectrum is just baffling to me. Dang thing looks like its gonna fall out any time, yet his control and clarity of every single note on any speed is just amazing.

[@Crovax]

Pat Metheny style

[@ibanez7815]

@@Crovax Nah man, Pat uses two fingers under (point and ring finger) extended and thumb over the plectrum, slightly recessed. Its perfect for crosspicking, which Pat uses almost always. Kiko on the other hand uses something i dont think i ever saw anyone else use. I, myself use all kinds of different way to hold my pick depending on what i actually play at that moment. Its kinda cool tho, since Marty is a "weird" picker as well , I guess Megadeth has special place for weird pickers :))))

[@andrewwhitaker2238]

Same.

[@Jordanguitar]

Yeah this annoys me, he’s too damn good.

[@minkorrh]

Def noticed that a few videos ago.

[@yzettasmith4194]

I could listen to you and Dirk jam all day! Glad to see Dave in a video, too. Thanks for showing some of the history of the civil rights struggle in Memphis, too.

[@megaboombox1]

Yes please have Dave in more videos.

[@treadgold69]

If you and dirk, James ever decided to take your jams on the road, I would definitely go see that. Keep those jam room snippets coming

[@MarcDevero]

So cool you do this for your fans on your day off, Kiko! I like the warm-ups you go through with Dirk! 🎸🔥🥁

[@darknessviking]

Kiko should release all the jam videos in a big dvd when the tour is over im constantly baffled to how fast dirk can play xD xD

[@leeejohn214]

That Reflective Jam with that drum play gives another vibe.

[@mmike9288]

6:38-6:40 you see myself, my best friend, and my girlfriend! Can’t wait to see you again Kiko! Thanks for the sweatband!! More eye contact next time!!!

[@joaojacomin8446]

I love the fact Dirk always practice death metal before playing a Megadeth show

[@mauriciocmarinho]

Death metal before, and then he rest during the show 😄

[@PatrickGoddard]

Your behind the scenes are immensely addicting and fascinating. The scope and size of production that goes into these tours is mind boggling. Great to learn about how everything is run through your perspective, though. I can't quite get grasp how everything is sync'd during a show with tracks, automatic switching of presets, etc. I would be so afraid of losing time. In any case, can't stop watching! :)

[@DanaMedic77]

I believe Kiko said they use Digital Performer, which is a Digital Audio Workstation. Everything is programmed in to DP and the band plays along to a click track. That track is how everything is synced. Instead of the engineers and techs having to manually activate cues/patch changes, most things are running automatically during the show.

[@RosiOliveira71]

Dirk & Kiko = magic 💫💥 love the jam

[@XingFisher666]

That riff at 9:05 has such a cool groove!

[@claudeman]

When I watched the part at 2:22, I never realized you held your guitar pick like that. That is wild.

[@esteves2099]

11:30 Slayer!!! 🤘🤘🔥🔥

[@Geovanna2k]

Como uma grande fã dessa incrível banda, esses vídeos são uma obra prima, conhecer vocês atrás do inimaginável Megadeth, obrigada por esse canal🇧🇷🇧🇷💚

[@teddymilan]

I was at the chicago show, guys were great, liked dave calling someone a mofo

[@mmike9288]

Kiko, I think that sweatband you had on is the one you threw to me!! It’s framed with the shirts you signed!! Can’t wait to see you in Denver next time! More eye contact!!

[@VegasLoungeAct]

Story time: Born & raised in Chicago. Back in 1994, when I was in high school (I'm old), Megadeth was coming to do a show in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom. I heard on the radio that they were doing a giveaway for passes to meet Megadeth after the show and only the first 50 people to show up could get them. The giveaway was happening as a music store. Two friends and I wanted to make sure we were first in line, so we drove to the music store the night before and stayed in my car all night waiting for the store to open. This was in January, in Chicago. It must've been 15 degrees F that night, but we sat in my car and waited all night. Needless to say, we were first in line. Almost froze to death, but we were first. 🤣

[@krisstieghorst7415]

Thank you for the practice clips, always a pleasure to watch & listen. Congratulations on new album and very successful tour. Happy Holidays guy's 😊 really happy to have caught a couple of these shows🦋🖤🦋

[@velosouk]

Jam room, oh yeah baby!

[@darkriff777]

Any chance of you and Dirk working on an instrumental album together?

[@MegaAss00]

Kiko work with drummer Bruno Valverde(Angra).

[@nathantonning]

Such an inspiration for the rest of us.

[@katekrylov]

Really amazing! I can listen to those jams and guitar solos for hours! Thanks. The ending was awesome, ha!

[@euroryan]

The Dirk and Kiko jam in the 2nd half of this vid is insanely good. Incredible musicians.

[@MaxArch]

Kiko and Dirk playing Reflective from Kiko solo album during warm up, what a jam.

[@kingvkelly2313]

yous are the dudes best band ever

[@brunodimeo5417]

Kiko makes us feel like we're right there with him hanging out ✌️🙏..

[@pliniovalles3044]

Beautiful place is Memphis. My family now lives there, I really enjoy your experiences Kiko, thanks for sharing them... by the way, what a great song you open this video with, excellent!🎸

[@blamemyparents7566]

Kiko, Your audience demands more of this.

[@minkorrh]

The economy of movement in the playing is something I'm seeing develop in my own playing. It's awesome to watch such a talented player shred the crap out of something and barely move the fingers. That's the key to speed and accuracy after L/R sync is accomplished.

[@MYDOGSNAMEISTANNER1]

KIKO FOREVER 🎸✌️🎸✌️🎸✌️🎸✌️🎸

[@luizalmeida5398]

James, Dirk and you should record an album with all your jamming sessions and call it "three-quarter-deth"

[@Shred_Rocket]

Yep, Kiko and Dirk!

[@BhomiaG]

damn kiko and dirk going god lvl in jam room

[@Tony-ew3jp]

So cool that you put one of your songs at the beginning of the video.

[@MadMax-oh4yw]

Speed rules! You guys play very fast, love it.

[@jamesddubz]

Awesome as usual.Thank you for sharing and caring about your fans.Kiko you Rock!!!

[@MrClydie_Po_Po]

Great stuff chaps! Loved the vid AGAIN! Many thanks 💕💕

[@bubbie3533]

@6:44 the jam session with you and Dirk was awesome. 🤘🤘

[@mikemarshall2186]

Ahhhh the squeaking on the warm up kit still. 😂

[@josuevegalopez1159]

Mañana estaré viéndolos en el Hell and Heaven acá en México 🤘🤘

[@MikorOnTop]

Woo hoo! Any other memphians?

[@azharkhan8796]

Honestly, probably one of the funnest bands to be in right now, besides Angra and Steve Vai's.

[@cancelbubble6535]

Any other guitarists spend more time watching Dirk play than Kiko in these jams? I guess that's the universal sign of an amazing drummer.

[@jimjones6419]

The left foot action on double bass is crazy. Is that normal?

[@edusabino1985]

É um longo caminho entre mim vendo VHS de Aulas do Kiko nos anos 90 até aqui vendo esse vídeo com essa edição top e cenas que não rolavam naqueles tempos.... o tempo passa....

[@brucewood6126]

Very Cool!! Keep the videos coming!!! I enjoyed the walk through downtown Memphis, Tennessee past the Lorraine motel! Do you remember Ain't Talkin' About Love by Van Halen?

[@IVORY123100]

An awesome man with an awesome talent . True . Inspiration to me

[@namitarai5046]

Best band ever

[@gmotionedc5412]

Jammin🤛🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@turbiromi]

geniooo KIKOOO

[@Frank15672]

The chemistry between you three is real you guys should start a side project called tornado of shreds😆 . Seriously, have you ever talked about it ?

[@emersonvieira2533]

9:29 nuó fico muito massa,me lembrou muito o som da Bloodshot Dawn-Demons com o blast do Dirk

[@bjornleifeld4442]

I really Like the Attack of His guitar. Passive Pickups are always better. My opinion.

[@MelodyMaker218]

Looks like fun!

[@umyes5246]

One of my favourites vids. Great insight to you guys.

[@DiamonF]

Nossa , a edição está incrível!!

[@darklordlc]

Dirk is a beast

[@jasonyltan7672]

Megadeth plays Slayer! Don't let Dave hear any of that :O

[@SastroCTO]

cheers from Indonesia

[@onyx666.]

Love Dirk content!

[@MisfitMarauder]

That improvisation of tornado of souls is jaw dropping

[@Natureza4ever]

Kiko tesouro amazing guitar solo

[@natangoldbaum6335]

I love you kiko

[@fredepstein]

Bonita cidade Chicago Kiko. Mas deve estar bem frio aí agora. Enjoy!

[@eduardogarcia7259]

such a great talented you are kiko!!! mi respect for u

[@pascalmerschaudio]

As a Belgian, i must say i´m proud of Dirk cause the football did not work out this year for us BTW: Great jam Kiko

[@onethousandtwonortheast8848]

Used to be my favorite town because of the architecture and all the sweet people there. Now it’s just too dangerous.

[@DanaMedic77]

Yeah, I've spent a lot of time there when I was young. It's sad to see how bad crime has gotten there now. It's a great city and it hurts to see it like this.

[@Culwichrocha]

Rolou um Raining Blood ali no finalzinho?

[@Wyatth58]

Heard a little ‘Raining Blood’ at the end…

[@МихаилШабанов-ф7ю]

кико ты братко нереально cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DanLacroix]

Wow, I've never seen anyone hold the pick like that it's amazing to see. I'd give it a go but I feel like I'd lose a dozen pick inside my guitar, and I play a solid electric!! Thank you for sharing all of those videos.

[@rodrigofalln]

2:23 I can see a lot of the pick, why do you hold it like that? thank you kiko, you are the best.

[@lemon_curry_]

He has a video on that Plus, he's a Megadeth lead guitarist. You are required to hold your pick weird

[@superblondeDotOrg]

Kiko can you invite some of the members of other bands into the jam room and show some various random metalhead jamming with them also playing?

[@atomicpunkkk]

Saw you in denver!! ❤

[@bjornleifeld4442]

The Intro Song. Is it something New? Never Heard it before. I Like it. New Soloalbum?

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Where can I buy those Megadeth wristbands? I need them bad for jamming because I sweat like a wild beast. 😂 Kiko, you always motivate me to play and to learn sir. Please be safe and God speed kind sir. ♥️🤘♥️

[@tripxez8478]

9:24 so melodic holy shittttt 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@dustblowingman]

My whole body would be sore after only 30 seconds of Dirk's warm up let alone then going out for a 2 hour set.

[@klf9729]

Kiko! Love the Judas Priest Delivering the goods cover you guys did! Awesome!

[@mylogify]

Hahahah the way you hold the pick, is so funny :D. I am not sure how you can play like this and play great... :D

[@dreadvicious116]

que delicia de drummer, me dejo pensando en la bateria q no hace mucho ruido, y tener a loueiro para ensayar a voluntad o mientras dura el tour ha de ser algo para recordar de por vida y hacer historia

[@stefanandersson4402]

Great jamming

[@garymiller79]

Love the music, love the videos. I really want a Kiko sp2, but can't find one anywhere, what's the deal? I can't afford your other two signature models. Any suggestions or info on possible future budget models? Help me out here, I really love the look of the sp2 and it's killin' me that i can't get one. Thanks -G

[@car_daniel]

Obrigado por continuar nos motivando, Kiko!

[@jerryparisi6803]

great videos .... aamazing how you pick just barley holding the pick

[@emersonvieira2533]

2:23 O bicho segura na palheta no limite.Se eu segurar desse jeito aí não sai nem parabéns pra você kkkkkkkkkkkkk...💪🎸🇧🇷

[@cicerocustodio7026]

Essa Ibanez verde é linda demais moço

[@celsoneves2368]

Bom jewel.

[@IM-bp6uc]

Ñ sei se pros outros ocorre o msmo mas parece q aqueles q ñ falam ingles originalmente dá pra perceber, geralmente pessoal fala ingles mto rapido, quase ñ dá pra entender o q dizem... e o kiko quase soletra kkk

[@mordet.]

doideira isso, me sinto até mais entendido no inglês quando ouço ele falando.

[@danielsgrunge]

Imagine just going about your day and meeting the 4 of them walking by lol

[@DanaMedic77]

I'd probably think I was hallucinating! I wouldn't believe my eyes that Megadeth is before me.

[@Lidas8224]

KIKO

[@IM-bp6uc]

Eaí Dr. Kiko... foi mal ñ consigo acompanhar mto... a qntidade de shows funciona como? Pessoal q contrata ou vcs q promovem?

[@Piotr-gg9di]

[@syseu6522]

[@embracemydarkestfearband]

[@shaharbar]

The jam was so fucking awesome, should release it as an album. But please raise the volume of the drums.

[@fernandocano5643]

[@dv8r892]

[@teemlee51]
