From The Vault - Lucretia Unplugged

Megadeth preparing to perform Lucretia live for the very first time...

[@jordiumethar4963]

Even with just the sticks he was a genius!!!. What a groove!!!!

[@AntonioFranco75]

Either with a full drum set or just a pair of sticks, your soul shined through. R.I.P. Nick Menza.

[@gregm90]

Lucretia and five magics are in my top 10 favorite Megadeth songs.

[@Kinger172]

Singing and playing technical riffs like this is impressive enough - but when Dave casually has a conversation with someone while rehearsing….. 🤯😂

[@megadethian]

Dave is the one with the hardest job...to play those riffs and sing at the same time...not sure how he does it!

[@vinaymulukutla358]

Plus writing virtually everything.

[@FMP177]

Guys Straight Badass!!!!

[@Jeannekm126]

@Michaelis ArcanjoI don't think James cares. He's busy counting his billions of dollars.

[@destroyerofkooda123]

@@michaelisarcanjo5146LMAO. you lost this argument when you mentioned rehab.. stay casual buddy. you know Mustaine has been to rehab as well. Mustaine and Megadeth don’t hold a candle to James and Metallica 🤪😂😂

[@stuartewoldt1513]

I so miss these days. Not sure how a band can have 2 line ups that are cherished but megadeth managed to do it. Rip Nick, you are in my memories

[@Luke_Stoltenberg]

Timeless song, historic moment caught on video!

[@titocapotito848]

1:07 “Welcome to Megadeth Unplugged” Ellefson: “STAAAAA”

[@oxouk]

One of the greatest metal albums ever. Not to mention the best line up.

[@vohnhooper9883]

Most fav song on my most fav album played by my most fav lineup... I do like the current line up too. Infectious smile you have there, Menza R.I.P.

[@achilles1977]

“My friends all say Dave you're mental anyway, hey!”

[@robdibenedetto4883]

That was magical. 😊 Too bad there isn’t a Time Machine to go back and see that in person

[@freddieg1095]

I was there for that gig..so that's the first time they performed it?! Cool!

[@venompunisher1717]

incredible that Nick alone with the sticks makes you shake your head

[@Shadow456376]

I wish they would play this again :(

[@ali965]

most underrated song on the album imo

[@Jimking666]

You wish Dave would play this again

[@leodamianf]

@Derek xPaPaDx Frampton Dirk can play everything...

[@timothyhetherington]

They did play this song in 2010 for the 20th anniversary of rust in peace. They played the whole album as well.

[@blahzay_]

@@timothyhetherington yes and it sounded dry as fvck with Drover the pub-drummer and Broderick the soulless robot

[@9388mike]

The Most Underrated Song Off Rust In Peace along with the title track but this is a great upload. i was only 2 when the album came out but got a chance to see the 20th anniversary tour for this album it was just as good thanks for putting this up.

[@whitakerwylde9108]

un-plugged or not the technicality and precision of each member shines through. The golden era for sure🎸

[@shiffyrossell1228]

Lucretia...definitely top 10 Meagadeth song.

[@JimiA]

Acoustic or amplified, it's such an awesome song!

[@CIRCLEOFTONE]

Amazing footage. By far the best drummer I've eve seen live.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

That kit , nick had some of the best kits going

[@zachary_attackery]

@Derek xPaPaDx Frampton Blas Elias was the drummer in Slaughter. Also, Tommy Aldridge had the exact same rack and setup, I think he even had it a couple years before Nick

[@tweevers2]

@Derek xPaPaDx Frampton Many drummers in the 80's-mid 90's had these double tier cages. Nick's was made by Gregg Voelker one of two main guys that made the custom cages. The other being a guy named Tom Falicon...These two guys made cages for Blas Elias of Slaughter, Rod Morgenstein of Winger (who had an identical Gregg Voelker rack as Nick's),Tommy Aldridge,Steve "Doc" Wacholz of Savatage. There was also drummers like Scott Rockenfield and Pete Sandoval, Randy Castillo with Ozzy.. that had custom double tier cages made with cymbals hanging down. Scott had his cymbals hanging from welded chains. Both Tom Falicon and Gregg Voelker racks were made to install into a custom drum riser base. Yahama Drums made a standard catalog double tier rack system that was used by the drummer for steelheart as well as it appearing in Waynes World for Garths drum solo in the music store

[@tweevers2]

@Derek xPaPaDx Frampton Such good times INdeed.I wish drum companies would start making and promoting there old lines/models of drums and kits again.Bring back the trend. When you think about it,in the mid 90's the trend came to have smaller kits and baby size drums. The drum companies jumped on the band wagon to start accommodating that. Out went the 'normal' size drums (meaning those lovely square size/power toms as standard sizes)...in came the baby/shallow depth size toms and kick drums. Then drummers started sitting higher,compacting in the small drums close,lowering the cymbals heights,having the large rack toms become the floor tom sizes,and turning the small rack toms to table top angles below chest level.Instead of facing the drummer angle and high up creating a wall of rack toms. Out went the massive thunderous thick drum shells with tank like hardware. In came the thin sounding, weaker sounding drums. To me those 80's- mid 90's kits are always standard in my eyes.

[@davidcurtis4478]

Love it! Wow that's awesome how Nick is playing the sticks like that, very cool 🤘🥁🤘

[@spearson103]

he's tapping them together....

[@зот]

@@spearson103 yeah? and he did a pretty good job of it too

[@amcavallaro]

Menza was a musical beast and master drummer. In my book, he is one of the greatest metal drummers!!!

[@JHMBB2]

Holy crap, I wish they did the entire RIP quietly like that as a bonus album. That was so cool, and Nick just tapping at those sticks, amazing.

[@MetaITurtle]

Wow that "lol unplugged" sounded so cool and unique

[@jasonwilcox6637]

That WHOLE ALBUM is contemporary metal. Way different than anything going at the time.

[@cedriccox8759]

This is the best thing ever. This is a credit the genre of Rock in rock and music general. Thanks for sharing. We'll Done!

[@ehoc42]

damn they played it perfectly in the dressing room lol

[@FFF502]

Amazing !

[@j-sin3344]

THANKS NICK!!!! Sending love from a higher place, still spreading his awesomeness!!! TY

[@selfoblivionalex6262]

Not many know but dave was clean during the rust in peace recording and tour while learning jujitsu and politics.

[@SpyneMetal]

Awesome! One of my favorites!!

[@matsnilson7727]

That was really awesome to see! 🙂

[@CECMUNJOHN]

Amazing, legendary.

[@dennisperin2989]

One of my favorite MD songs. Great tune. RIP Nick…

[@kubagg_3374]

Great footage, one of my favourite form rust in peace

[@vinaymulukutla358]

They sound like they're flying on board a helicopter in the opening moments. That was amazing how they pulled off Lucretia unplugged and Nick maintaining the groove with just the sticks.

[@slimgoodboogie2184]

“It’s time to play Lucretia.” 🤘🏻

[@fabianadirosa6949]

Eterno Nick. Te extraño

[@ploppyjeje8680]

:((((((

[@jackko21]

Coolest looking drum kit ever

[@wordzfailmebro]

BRILLIANT 👉🛸👽👍👍👍👍👍

[@marzbitenhaussen]

what a solid ensemble

[@vansimian]

Gem 🤩

[@pupushtin]

This song is so much fun to play

[@Jayteaseepiirturi]

Gotta say I liked the unplugged rehearsal there. :D

[@kiski1983]

Эх,шикарное было время!!!

[@xcesar4impx666]

MEGADEATH O.Gs of Metal !!!!

[@DP-ly3zx]

Menza was untouchable in the 90s

[@andidamm5273]

Cool!🤟👍

[@sunnys3325]

Menza was such a badass. These 4 were on fire

[@zAvAvAz]

YEEAAAHHHH unplugged! 🙂

[@j-sin3344]

Saw this tour in Worcesr Ma, could have been Lowell but its was incredible.

[@ridehead8771]

Probably the first unplugged done by a metal band

[@user-cp9ws8hx7m]

😊😊😊

[@Sxuk]

🔥

[@eberaliagahernandez2326]

the best era of metal

[@vidamendoza666]

This fucken slaps!

[@polarisrustinpeace1797]

Fucking amazing!

[@chargerdave2046]

I would actually like to hear an acoustic version of this!

[@zDialecticChaos]

This song is masterpiece, mustaine is a musical genius

[@68hoffman]

kool :)

[@jasonwillis4819]

Dave looks like an early 90's Axl Rose here!!

[@bradsmith2066]

I never knew I needed this entire album in an unplugged version, but apparently I do. Apparently I do really really bad..

[@chrisreynolds1980]

I Know this sucks for them but its actualy pretty cool for us to see even pros practice.

[@jackko21]

Jr is wearing a demented ted shirt

[@alihumayun8497]

I'm the 777th to Like the video!!!

[@NabilKarsheh]

I bet they played it next day ;)

[@ozlemelih]

Acoustic version

[@robertghanem1424]

Effortless = talent

[@ThormentorSDMF]

i cant hear the bass guitar

[@thewolf7119]

Back when Dave was the best there was!

[@mr.brenman2132]

He's still alive and kicking buddy.

[@Skoora]

God, this just shit’s all over what Metallica did with the Black Album. While Metallica raced to FM radio oblivion, Megadeth created a metal masterpiece.

[@gusgus1383]

When Megadeth was good

[@jackko21]

I miss when metal bands had huge drum kits with giant power toms it looks weird seeing a grown man playing a small kit cough cough lars ulrich

[@mr.brenman2132]

The shitting on Lars gets old.

[@ShrubPlays]

Lars' kit isn't even small? Judging based solely on aesthetic is silly regardless...

[@johnnyfountainS]

Dave crosses his legs like a woman.

[@elsebas7307]

LMAOOO

[@xtremeunderratedmusic]

Go tell him face to face.... hahaha

[@johnnyfountainS]

@@xtremeunderratedmusic I rather get Dave's autograph. I have a Dave Mustaine photo on my channel.

[@accountemail9712]

Thrash metal... trash commercials.

[@eldiablo3794]

I never got into Megadeth I actually think they're corny.. but I really like Dave as a guitarist lol. I appreciate and respect him as a guitarist businessman but I don't like his band or singing.. I have this love hate feeling about him and I've never felt this way about a guitarist but hated their band. I think it's more of I can't stand the members he puts around him because theyre always weird and corny. Their fans are cult like about the members they like especially with Marty Friedman and now Kiko.

[@Jeannekm126]

I think you are confusing them with Metallica.

[@patrickgarrett1734]

I wish their tour bus would have gone off a cliff after this album/tour so I could remember Megadeth in a good way.

[@marcschelz]

dont like megadeth at all but this song is really nice

[@megaslayer9279]

Wow. This is really fucking cool. I also realized that the live CD released with the warchest boxset (wembley stadium 1990) is the 2nd time Lucretia was ever played live. Really really cool!!!!! So I wonder was this footage from the premier night of this song ? Does anyone have an exact date this rehearsal footage was taken ??
