Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due Guitar Cover (Original Drum & Bass Used)

why do so good covers get so less views? youtube algorithm is really weird

Between you and I we can do it.

[@mprogger5476]

[@phil5569]

As someone who's listened to Holy Wars literally a million times, I can honestly say that this cover was almost PERFECT!!!! Dave Mustaine couldn't do a better job. F**KING BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Septicshites]

at least he coulndt now lol

[@ESPSJ]

the riff that starts at 1:32 is arguably Dave's best riff in my opinion.

[@JT-jb7ux]

ESPSJ That's bold.

[@Keykey70]

It's definitely one of my favorites, but I think there's too much good shit Megadeth's made to say anything in particular is the best

[@windyr]

Poison Was The Cure... The riff at 2:05

[@LennyD10]

Give the riff from good mourning/black friday from 2:58 a listen. But yeah this one from holy wars is nice too not to mention he sings while playing this.

[@nickgivent3157]

ESPSJ I totally agree. So often he is singing over the baddest riffs 😁 I also like Bite the Hand while he's singing the verse... Pretty badass!!!

[@osmiloe2776]

I just don’t get how Dave can sing and play like this at the same time...

[@wayneleone]

@@JCDenton95 it got to the stage that he couldn't. E.g No More Mr Nice Guy video - no shots of him singing and playing. He couldn't do it as he was stoned out of his head. No loss though, it was a crap song/video anyway :)

[@arthurf.h.1023]

5:30 it looks like his leg has an arm that plays the guitar hahahah! Amazing cover bro!

[@chasevids14]

2:48 is my favorite part of the song even though this one has a lot of memorable parts. Great playing man and keep on shredding🤟🏻

[@joshuadearing4190]

Hands down the best cover I've seen of Holy Wars. Great job brother!

[@incredulouskirk]

Wow. Who knew Holy wars made such a good instrumental?

[@Jes9119]

I did. I've been listening to thrash for decades and I honestly cannot tell you what 90% of the lyrics to any song are. I listen for the instruments and music. The vocals are just background noise to me.

It would be concerning if was music to your nose or something

[@MrVepe47]

You should definitely cover some Death

[@Odie50000]

Vəıuı For sure. Chuck and Death are basically just a happier Dave and a heavier Megadeth.

[@TheWojtek619]

I really appreciate how tight your playing is. I don't want to be accuesed of blasphemy but it is possible that you play even more tightly than Dave and Marty. And you do it in one take. I've been playing long enough to know how hard it is what you achieved. Fantastic

[@LambChopper678]

Thanks for the support but I assure you Dave and Marty are so far beyond my capacity to play. Those guys are amazing and pull this off every single show flawlessly. I've been front row at Megadeth right in front of Dave. People are yelling right in his face screaming all sorts of crap and he plays on perfectly without missing a beat while singing over rhythms I'm flat out keeping up with. Absolute pro...

[@RudyAyoub]

He for sure is tight as hell.

This dude always does kickass work on these vids... one of my favorite channels on KZbin, by far!

[@JHMBB2]

Whoa okay, I know I just commented during the video, now I'm commenting afterwards. I'm here at work, my jaw is on the floor (I'm not sure this has ever happened before), the solo, the riffs, all of it I can't believe how perfect it was. In fact better than perfect, if anything it gave me even more appreciation for this song. Holy crap dude, I'm nearly in tears at how beautiful that was, bravo man, bravo.

[@Is308enough]

I can’t play that, and likely never will be able to play that, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching that: GREAT JOB! Ear to ear grin to start my day.

[@morphine0000]

Sir Lambchopper, I only came across your channel recently, and I have to say that you are THE BEST thrash tone chaser and cover maker on the whole KZbin, bar none. If there was justice in the world, each of your videos would have millions of views. If someone handed me this cover sight unseen and told me it's a pre-release version of the album without vocals, I would have 101% believed them.

[@LambChopper678]

Thanks mate, really appreciated 🙏🏻

[@TheMinnickFamily]

THANK YOU for panning the audio starting at the 5:03 mark; I grew up in radio stations, literally, and I speak from authority when I say that you’ve mastered your craft! LOVE your work!! 👊🏻😎

yeah I love the versions with the panned bends, awesome stuff they did

3:33-3:54 this section was tough asf bro everything was on point shit sounded majestic

[@iamlato]

probably my favourite dave mustaine solo is in this song, and honestly i think it's the absolute epitome of his playing style

[@TROOP3RAK47]

Thank you this exhibition of talent. And for the acoustic one too! In an interview, Mustaine had mentioned his solo on this track was a single take effort. He said; it just simply sprung up in my mind!

[@LambChopper678]

Yeah I’ve seen many interviews with Dave about it. Apparently he just dimed an 800 and let loose. I don’t have reason to doubt it, he’s got crazy talent and was top of his game

[@davidchludzinski3817]

Perhaps the best metal song ever produced and this chap plays it to perfection. Amazing.

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

You played tighter, more on tempo and accurately in this new version, but I can't hide that I liked the old version's tone more.
