Is there ANY Deth fan that DOESN'T want to hear this live???? IS THERE??????

Yess this and bad omen

Yeah got to see them 2 times. No such luck. Same with five magics. And warhorse. But dint expect hed play poison was the cure that was sweet

[@wraydenmartin3385]

@@Bpm_2300 I would love to hear them play some songs live again, but, with Dave having an operation on his throat, I am afraid that is not going to happen... :(

[@alexroyster182]

Luckily i got to hear the Rust in Peace lineup play it in 94. It was the highlight of the night I was 😲🤘

[@paulamaceio]

We must confess: this song is the first thing that comes to mind when we think of Black Friday. 😁

[@fedora997]

Probably why he did it lol

[@Baldur1975]

It's Black Friday . . . paint the Devil on the Wall!

[@Westy111]

They should play this on a loop in Walmarts across the country on Black Friday. It’s very fitting for Black Friday brawls.

[@andym28]

Steely Dans tune and this.

[@unkind78]

it's coming again

[@sputhoor96]

The best Megadeth song. Unless there's something in the new album that can top this.

[@huffingfarts]

By far their best song, I think its widdly-widdlies are better than Holy Wars and Tornado's widdly-widdlies, too. Suck it.

[@vardengutierrez108]

This song is the perfect description of what Thrash Metal is supposed to be. Holy Wars and other RIP are good but this song alone is mega.

[@paulburke2270]

Might be my fav as well

[@Buraz93]

Totally agree! Their perfect song!

[@casetheace8494]

Great thrash but I wouldn't call it their best.

[@CamiloSalvadorMP]

RIP Gar Samuelson

[@thelastwildcolonialboy3667]

Of all the Deth drummers he was the octopus.

[@tricky92x]

Absolute beast of a drummer. This song as heavy as it is really swings because of his playing.

[@vicrattlehead6386]

His drumming style is similar to Gar but his body movement reminds me Menza. Now that just perfect combo, he got both elements of Megadeth two best drummers.

[@Mechanix360]

Couldn’t agree more !

[@Darylrb1983]

Ah! Good point

[@viprdude]

Agreed.

[@Lulustucru2393]

Dick and Kiko are the best thing that happened in Megadeth for a long time... No disrespect for Drover and Broderick tho...

[@user-el6lt8fr3x]

@@Lulustucru2393 eh, I couldn’t care less for Drover and Broderick. Those dudes were super boring. They did their jobs, sure, but man they are not very interesting to listen to (though I will give an extra point to Broderick cause his technical skill is absolutely bonkers. Dude is a wizard)

[@shanegriffin2215]

As a drummer who is a huge fan of the Gar period of the band, Dirk is the only drummer Dave has ever had that does Gars playing complete justice.

[@tricky92x]

Totally agreed.

[@35327290]

Gar has the best drum style for me

[@krafgeetar4013]

To be honest Chuck was pretty darn close, especially since he was Gars tech for a while so he learned a lot I’m sure. Nick was a fantastic drummer but he had a very different style. Dirk is pretty close to Gar so I’d say you’re mostly right

[@DreDawg3000]

@@krafgeetar4013 Chuck was amazing live, and unfortunately doesn't get the accolades that he should. Very under-rated drummer.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I liked chucks playing , I do think nick menza was the drummer they needed back in the late 80s ,he was experienced and had a groove that embellished the guitars and bass very well ,especially when it came down to them writing new material , rust in peace has some of the grooviest thrash metal drumming in the world .

[@jedward5155]

As a non-drummer, this seems like it would be a fun song to play, especially building the atmosphere in the beginning.

[@jacksonsmetalcollection]

its fun when youre good. ive been drumming for five years and playing this song for probably 1 or 2 and im still learning about it. gar is one of the best drummers of all time. dirk is the only drummer ive ever seen cover gar and play close to his playing.

[@arndttt]

Gars drumming lives through dirk! 2 amazing drummers! Respect Dirk

[@yungbusiness]

You can tell Dirk is a FAN of the band and has amazing energy, so glad he is in the band

[@jesusbruschi9579]

Dirk, Kiko...I can't ask for anything else. Megadeth sounds incredible! Can't wait for their new release

[@roberthugill2260]

Dirk you are the only Megadeth drummer that comes close to Gar and you play his parts perfectly with his swing.

[@jonnytonto5298]

Damn dude KILLED IT

[@chrisquinn9104]

Chris and Gar were ludicrous. Gar seemed to keep a certain amount of air in his playing. Kept it from getting claustrophobic. His snare sound!

[@tricky92x]

But, he filled up the room with his ghost notes, especially in songs like Wake up Dead.

[@HeavyMetalSonicRM]

Meanwhile, Shawn Drover is sitting calmly, barely moving and has a fan blowing on him.

[@user-el6lt8fr3x]

LMFAO drover’s probably my least favorite Megadeth drummer as well

[@alexroyster182]

🤣😂🤣 I never really liked Drover in the band. I never understood why Dave kept him so damn long. Dave kept him in and gave him his shot because before Megadeth he hadn't played anything of significance live and after all the money and fame Drover got from being Megadeths drummer he leaves Mustaine hanging, and just left the band with Dave going WTF. This guy Dirk is the best drummer I seen in the band since Menza. Holyshit he might be the best I've ever seen in the band. So glad Adler left the band because this guy is a bad man. Perfect for Megadeth and I hope he gets to open up the throttle on this new album.

[@sandoramix9466]

@@alexroyster182 1- Dave kicked Drover himself, 2- why is Adler a bad man?

This is my favorite song about the busiest shopping day of the year.

[@B9Robot]

R.I.P. Gar Samuelson.... you got a great cover here with Dirk the Dragon Slayer!

[@gabrielvides8697]

Congratulations Dirk!! This is Megadeth...

[@emirsekercioglu217]

Great ! In my opinion, one of the most difficult and complicated songs of Megadeth to play on drums... I think, it's time to see the legendary "My Last Words" from you, Dirk. I don't think that any fan of this band would deny to see this song with your performance.

[@paindude69]

My last words is my favourite song. Fully agree to seeing that video. Happy new years

[@realmusiciswithinstruments9915]

They played it all Hellfest 2018 with Dirk. You can watch it.

[@jobmarquez8757]

This is the closest way to watch how Gar play this on live😢 Thank you so much to care about your fans and their answers Dirk❤ As a last wish, please do, Bad omen, or These Boots in this style of video, please🙁🙏🏻

[@huffingfarts]

Bad omen for sure

[@jacksonsmetalcollection]

its weird because yes, this is how gar played but its not how gar looked when he played it. ive seen videos of gar drumming it is very odd. gar is huge, approx. 6'2 with really long arms. hes super calm in his playing, his size makes the drums look like a toy and he plays them like theyre toys. he used to be called "praying mantis" because of his size and playing style

[@dj8]

I think Dirk is very much the same body size and height as Gar and he towers above the kit when he stands. He has long legs and arms and is over 6' tall also.

[@PeterDiktakis]

When Dirk does the doubles with a single pedal just like Gar it makes me so happy. ❤ Dirk is basically Menza + Gar and it’s everything I’ve wanted being a drummer myself heavily influenced by Nick and Gar.

[@PauleraCast]

Dirk is a true gentleman and a beast on drums 🇧🇷

[@shanegriffin2215]

It's really refreshing to see Gars parts played the way he played them. Dirk is the only drummer that plays them as they were recorded by Gar. Great job.

[@StateCollapse]

Gar would've been proud!

[@javicvic6626]

the best fit to megadeth. by technique, attitude, personality, look, every little and big things. i couldn't imagine someone better to be behind megadeth's drum kit. tighter eye of chris adler to build that bridge. Dirk, i f...love you man...

[@chrismark5405]

It’s a damn shame Dave won’t play this live!! I mean I understand his position but man it rips!! Dirk is so good!!

[@11DNA11]

I thought i'd never hear anyone play the older songs like they used to be played... But you.. You sir.. You're a master at imitating the great Gar Samuelson. Hats off to you. Phenomenal job.

[@j-venom616]

Grooves like Gar back in the day! Damn!

[@hybris159]

Dirk is precise as a machine, awesome! 🔥🔥

[@DulKrowak]

Dirk, just tell Dave to more often include this great song to MEGADETH play list. 🤟🤟

[@truth-or-nothing]

Oh wow oh wow after listening to Megadeth for over 35 years 😳 i must say Dirk did Gar a major most excellent rendition of Good Morning/Black Friday.i approve of this with my life........

[@bpr154]

Holy shit this is super good. Shame there's not much good footage of gar playing these songs, but dirk does it perfectly here

[@JBBRAD9267]

Dave wrote 5 songs and stitched them together and created this "song" It is just 8 minutes of jamming. Its amazing. I dont even know how this song sounds good. It shouldn't sound good but it does

[@matthewbailey8588]

Mustaine is a riff machine

[@Mayhemzz]

This has to be one of the greatest thrash songs ever, 4:10 onwards has to be some of the best metal of all time. It's impossible not to headbang to it.

[@gabrieltellez8657]

Best drummer ever in Megadeth, love you Dirk, i cant wait to hear your sound in the new álbum

[@christrattlehead9841]

The same

[@agustintoro8080]

I expect them to get even heavier now that Dirk is on drums.

[@camhanes946]

This may be a controversial opinion, but it seems to me that no matter who plays drums in Megadeth, they get throttled by Dave, almost as if he wants to keep it simple and not let anyone personality overtake his. Look at Shawn Drover, he legitimately sounded like a drum machine in Megadeth, but in Act of Defiance he actually sounds great. Same with Chris Adler, I was very underwhelmed at his playing knowing what he was capable with in Lamb of God. I hope I'm wrong

[@RaaZVan99]

@@camhanes946 Drover is bad dude, always has been

[@robertahlin1602]

He fucking did it again. Dirk is just a monster! Megadeth have not had this perfection in a long time when it comes to the drums. Cant wait too hear Dirk crushing it on the new album

[@jakedemetrius_official]

Funny enough, they’ll never play this song and he still bothered to learn it lol

[@danielpaez4210]

I used to give a lot of credit to Kiko for Megadeth’s reborn, but Dirk is something special, he is a mixture of the best two drummers Megadeth has had,.

[@MissAzul2]

Flawless drumming 🔥

[@darklordlc]

Incredible. We have not heard these songs played like this in a very long time.

[@andresfelipeurregollanos5633]

Sería increíble escuchar esto en el mes de abril que regresa MEGADETH a Colombia ❤😊 Stay Heavy 🤘

[@Vorhees75]

Gar and Dirk are my favorite Megadeth drummers. Much respect to Nick and all the others,who have been with the Megadeth thrash machine,throughout the years.

[@ironz18]

Gar and Nick absolutely nailed this song. Dirk has like 98% of it down,it's super fine details that's missing. It's a suuuuper hard song to nail tho. PLAY THIS LIVE AGAIN!!!!

[@andym28]

Weird tip if you want more of Gars swing hold the sticks right at the end.

[@drumsmetalheavy11]

Check out Dirk’s drumming in the band Soilwork. One of the best drummers ever. IMO.

[@birolungelin4543]

with all due to respect the previous legends, perfect Megadeth drummer in all time 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@chrisnizer5702]

You played the WHEELS off that song my friend, smashed it, tore the fur off it. I think I saw it wobbling down the road on bare rims, not an ounce of fur, and absolutely crushed to beejeezus...and back again.

Maybe Yes but my favorite Megadeth drummers will always be Gar and Nick. Peace Sells and Rust in Peace are two of the greatest Thrash Metal albums ever released.
