Then there's Dave, still writing and performing those hard and fast rhythm parts and face melting solos. They are a band that keep getting better with age. Long live the Deth \m/

[@innawoodsman]

Dave's got a thrashier, self taught, more aggressive style than Kiko, who's got a very professional, 'proper' technique. Either way, both seem to work for their respective guitarists. Super cool to watch

[@DiegoEzequielGuitar]

Don't forget that Dave sings while playing that, truly insane

[@swat1710]

The best ssss

[@mhmendes]

01:35 In this riff we can see Kiko's fingers moving as less as possible while Mustaine move a lot his fingers, that's interesting see the way each one play.

[@trutimanzz]

+MHMendes Nice observation dude.

[@zonk834]

I think it's because Mustaine is really into it, just anecdotal but I find myself exaggerating my movements if I'm really digging the song I'm playing.

[@jnws30]

+MHMendes Kiko is classically trained. He has better economy of motion.

[@MrDR7no]

+MHMendes That's because Kiko plays more correctly with his thumb under the fretboard in a steady position while Dave has his thumb in the upper position and moves it with every note he changes, which is partly false, but it doesnt really affect the sound, it's more of a matter of stamina and correct stage positioning, especially as far as classical guitar is concerned, and it comes down to the fact that Kiko is a classicaly trained guitarist while Dave is self taught.

[@DomicidalCovers]

+MHMendes Definitely an interesting point. As a guitar player, I've noticed it's easier to play faster and especially when changing strings when you keep to shorter motions in between notes, it works wonders when doing a fast alternate picking run, basically the closer your fingers stay to the fretboard even when not on a string, the faster you'l be able to move onto the next note, depending on how sync'd both hands are of course. Logical I guess, but it's also fun to play rhythms with a slamming motion when that sort of technique isn't needed :) As Jim Smith put it so perfectly: "Better economy of motion"

[@donfryedontlie]

Kikos technique is very relaxed, both hands are very efficient.

[@antoniohenrique1119]

Kiko is left-handed! Impressive!

[@c5-085]

don FRYE I noticed this too, his picking is so amazing , such swift and little movements, a shame that non guitarists won't appreciate the difficulty , if he was tapping the non guitarists would be all over him, hope you like my little rant which no one asked for lol

[@andyk9735]

@@lidokork technically I think it's very close between them, maybe Chris wins it by a shade. BUT, I think Kiko's playing is far more musical. He has a more melodic approach and superior phrasing. Broderick just sounded like he was ripping through scale exercises every solo - which I found pretty robotic and boring to listen to. So IMO Kiko is already a far better guitarist than Chris, and much better fit for Megadeth.

Just noticed something. From 1:35 to 1:50, while Dave and Kiko are playing the same riff, Dave's moves are wide and seem struggled while Kiko's moves are short, fluid and seem almost effortless. That's why those annoying technique lessons are so important.

I forget sometimes how good Dave is until I watch him solo in a video like this and think "wow, in any other band he'd EASILY be the primary lead guitarist." But Kiko...omg, seriously, it's a morale crusher watching how he has practiced to the point of making what he does look like a 0-effort endeavor. I thought when Marty left the band that they'd never find anyone as good as him, let alone better. Broderick was probably Marty's equal in his own way, but Kiko...I mean, Marty is still my favorite Megadeth guitarist other than that Dave, but my God Kiko is something else entirely skill-wise. Even with my personal bias I'd feel foolish denying that Kiko is better (at the least, better from a technical standpoint).

That's pretty much due to his accident a little over a decade ago. Screwed up his nerve in one of his arms after falling asleep on a chair wrong, and had to go to therapy and relearn how to play. If this is how he plays now because of that, imagine if his accident never happened?

[@MrEerieEyes]

Believe it or not, this was the first time i was genuinely excited to hear new music from Megadeth since the last century (since that much maligned Risk album). It's been a long wait haha!

[@lancewilson3293]

I honestly thought fatal illusion was about singing in different keys not knowing which one was gonna kill you. And those changes, man I respect Dave, he is totally a thrash jazz master. Kiko, I can tell he's very knowledgeable in the musical field, it's amazing how he adapts to both worlds in Dave's crazy mastery ha.

[@palix5925]

Dave with Kiko is a great combo.

[@hellfire8883]

The beginning has a real old school death metal feel to it before evolving into a more recognizable style of technical thrash we know so well from megadeth. I actually did like the new album upon first listen though I've currently only listened to it 2 times. But so far.... so good....so what. 🤘 🤘🤘

[@budaroddy]

i dont want to scary anyone... but Dave looks like my mom...

[@marcosgoncalves8726]

budaroddy you better be scary

[@royyulianto2912]

😂😂

[@andrewsmith9923]

Is that a bigger insult to your Mom or to Dave.

[@olimpicus]

Lucky guy

[@korushjl2787]

And my aunt is too

[@OndskapensHersker]

I'm glad Dave found someone who actually drives the bad in a direction that is out of Dave's control. His strong side from the very beginning was finding good players to execute his visions and make them better. When Marty quit he's had a long period where he's had a hard time finding "that one guy" to really drive the band like Marty did. Kiko is truly the first one to really fill Marty's shoes in this band. They just need that "one" drummer to push the band like Nick did (with soul), and Megadeth can truly become great again. Much love

[@joepope5793]

I know dave isn't in his prime anymore but his ability to play the riffs that he does while singing will never not totally blow my mind.

[@unoriginal_name7091]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate just how fucking sexy Kiko's axe is? That red is absolutely beautiful.

[@HedOnFire]

That whole riff from 1:04 to when the vocals start reminds me so much of symphony x!

[@efxnews4776]

Kiko power metal background with Angra... You should listen Angra to see his previous work, i recomend the album Rebirth.

[@anonymousprime1738]

Dave's hair is so fabulous

[@complexitysimple1769]

Amazing Guitarists! Dave Mustane is amazing playing that guitar.

[@stevewilson9778]

It's always great to hear Megadeth riffs that call back to the Killing is My Business album.

[@rpascon]

1:35 Dave's left hand has os much more movement than Kiko's, yet they're doing the same thing.

[@jadepayne5447]

Shows that Dave plays each note making sure not to hit a different string then what is to be touched in my feeling

[@naachoriv]

kiko says that he touches each string with the least amount of force needed for it to sound, which helps him to get less tired while playing

[@Maggiethegsd]

@Cohen Gillis oh my god really emotion in how a person plays?

[@herr.schaeffer]

@@Maggiethegsd Agreed. Whoever says Dave's got more emotion is not a guitar player and is not familiar with the minor effort concept of playing. It's not a coincidence that Kiko was chosen to be the lead guitarist for Megadeth, he is one of the best and most experienced guitar player alive and he does whatever he does with mastery and impeccable technique.

[@Qthetar]

@@herr.schaeffer 😂 Dave playing has way more emotion, and rhythmically way better.

[@cleopetrucci1560]

The geat fact: Kiko Loureiro is the best guitarrist that played in Megadeth since Marty Friedman !

[@DudaCanal]

Deram foco na hora que o kiko tava de boca aberta kkkkk que mancada kkkkk kiko BR 🎶✌

[@Master5]

slc, o Kiko tem down ( to zoando)

[@desviadorprudente678]

Master KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK mds

[@silasalmeida4982]

Ele tava de boca aberta mas não tava bocejando

[@mitchcomment6669]

Umma delizia kkkkk

[@tulasigopinath]

ele tava relaxaaaaaaaando

[@metallicsavage788]

Will Dave ever run out of riffs and solos - This is awesome - really on top of his game. And as always he throws in a sarcastic funny remark at the end of explaining the track. "Practice hard. I don't" Lol. Superb!👍🤘

[@KAMISEYE]

You guys have profoundly changed, thank you so much for all you guys have done and Dave hang in there man life ain't over yet, but if it is May you rest in peace, for if it's your time to go then we'll hold a candle to the seeds that you sewed, but still you're not dead yet so live it up while you can for tomorrow is never certain but only today exist in the now.

[@GUR-ARYEA]

Try my channel andrew

[@A6warzone]

look at Dave's arms! not gym, just riffin' n soloin'

[@albertvankrieg5548]

And martial arts. He has been training for years, you know.

[@zhafirful]

He is a karate guy .

[@LeandroRamos42]

He is a black belt karate and taekwondo martial artist. He practices brazilian jiu-jitsu too.

[@Mikemike-gr6xt]

@@LeandroRamos42 to kill lars someday.. Just in case 😂😂

[@dcs2690]

And tendonitis

[@Diggerdog2nd]

Cool. I hear some elements of my favorite album Peace Sells.

[@GoDDamnHosTile]

+Diggerdog2nd Me too. For instance that riff at 2:36 really reminds me of black friday

[@IvanVallebona]

+Diggerdog2nd do you even rust bro?

[@jakesharp7945]

+GoDDamnHosTile Because they use the same thing. Black friday just does the whole pull off thing more than this song. It's literally the same notes. very fun to play though

[@danoliveira46]

Fico bobo de ver a técnica e a segurança na palhetada do Kiko. Parece um robô de tão perfeito que é.

[@tavicotavio]

Can you imagine playing with Brazil's best guitarrist and you do the solos and lead fills, Dave did

[@joerutzer2704]

Rule no. 1 , dont even fucking doubt Mustaine for a second. That man breathes sulfur, shreds like lightning and probably shits the heaviest of metals. Oh yeah , and he's obviously a legend.

[@druidofthefang]

the start is so diabolical. sounds like something you get combining Doom and Diablo

[@felipewozniak]

3:49 What is the meaning of life? Why am I here? Did I lock the door of my car? 3:58 Ooooops, they are recording, I'm gonna make a badass face.

[@druidofthefang]

3:57 yesterdays bad taco about to emerge

[@ermguitar2052]

I would always be making the face at 3:58 if I was in Megadeth.

[@tagima]

brazilian talent, my friend kiko loureiro.

[@urgenyonzon3822]

2:55 Look at those nerves of steel ... Dang it takes a lifetime of playing at the face sick and mystic riffs to attain them

[@gustavegiacopelli7974]

Wow Kiko is so smooth and has that rythem return that megadeth needed that none of the other guitarists of megadeth has before.
