Holy Wars My Audition For Megadeth #3 (Legendado)

[@kikoloureiroofficial]

Equipment used.: Ibanez KIKO100 D'Addario NYXL 10-46 Bogner Atma no pedals ( no booster, delays or reverb) Nikon 70D audio from the camera. Very simple and direct. My idea was not to fake a perfect performance. Any comments?

[@gabeaton8236]

Fantástico Kiko. O excelente músico é monstro até com os pequenos equipamentos. Se eu tivesse estes que vc tem aí já seria maravilhoso rsrs. Vc merece estar no Mega.

[@alxpt78]

It was so perfect !!¡

[@atilondon]

I started to learn tornado of souls because of you!!!you played it in a studio,years ago.BUT! l bet lots of us would be very interested how was on that day,when you met Dave in Nashville,where did you go,what was the conversation,what was in your mind,your reaction,next after this meeting,and a bit of preparing to join Megadeth.Thanks Kiko.

[@gaelbgalbar9307]

Yea incredible. I started to play it and I guess this song is really difficult (I started "Tornado" n for me it is easier). Kiko you can play it with a really pretty fluidity, and I 'll have to work a lot again to get it as you do lol. I work on my Ty Tabor Yamaha lol. Thanks to share, hope to see you one day on stage. Or masterclass... Who know? Cheers from France.

[@churi24]

Kiko, you are a great guitar player and a great teacher. I learned a lot from your videos when you were in Angra. 11 years ago with a band we played "Spread your fire", I have the videos in my channel. Man the best for you from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thank you very much for your videos! =)

Nice playing. I remember auditioning for Megadeth before Rust In Peace. Once I pulled out my 12 string electric guitar they told me to leave. Dave did buy me a burger though

[@Mysterio-Solar]

That's typical Mustaine BS Hypocracy . Dave played his 10 string BC Rich Bich from 1981 - 1983 in Metallica . He played it also in early Megadeth from 1983 - 1985 . He played his signature custom Jackson / ESP 10 string Double Neck guitars in the late 80's all through the 90's .

​@emceesmith6665 yes, but make no mistake: all of this is Dave's brainchild, his creativity, his soundscape, riffs and so on. This is Dave Mustaine. Doesnt take away from Marty, Kiko and the others. They are pretty much guitar gods; but Dave is an amazing character, an amazing mind. For someone with no musical education, and with his background and personality, i think he created something incredible.
