Megadeth - High Speed Dirt (Live In Roskilde 1992)

[@MECHANOSAURUS]

That clean blues solo is great beyond belief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The god of guitar Marty Friedman!

[@kratos6211]

Can I just say that that riff is absolutely nuts?

[@gmss0253]

Recently learned it. And it's bananas!

[@samschossig334]

@@gmss0253 same. It’s very fun and even more complex to play than it sounds!

[@H.E.M.]

@@samschossig334 for sure. Took me a bit to get it down.

[@captaincapitalism264]

I'll allow it. 😁🤘

[@ElvisPriceless]

And singing while playing it is even more insane to me.

[@SongWhittler]

Marty slaying that solo even faster than the record. That guy is unreal.

[@dehypnotizerz]

Absolutely. They've played it way faster than originally recorded, yet Marty, with his insane solo, didn't make a single mistake. Guy's insane.

[@captaincapitalism264]

Probably my favorite track of theirs of all time. Killer riffs, awesome drumming, amazing solos, and perfect lyrical material for a speedmetal song: no politics, just the adrenaline of skydiving.

[@kpec3]

They were so exceptional, it sounds right off the record, but you can still tell it's live. Also, the drummer is just ahead of the beat, which is perfect. I don't know how he does it at this tempo with all the breaks, but it and they are amazing.

[@kratos6211]

especially when he literally plays it in 1.25x speed

[@kpec3]

@@kratos6211 Haha!

thats called good old cocaine, my friend...

[@brandonjackson5865]

This is way faster than the record but Nick was always jacked up on the first few Megadeth tours he was on , I love his energy there’s footage of him playing Rust in Peace and he’s standing up every chance he got. Also check out their Woodstock 99 performance they sound incredible there and Dave’s voice is good. They were so tight even by Megadeth standards they never had any slouches but this version right here will always be my favorite. Dirk and Kiko are incredible and the best Megadeth line up we will ever get again they are the only players that are up there with Nick, Gar, Poland, and Friedman. Marty will always be my second favorite Megadeth guitarist next to Dave but damn Kiko is good. Dirk is probably a better technical drummer than Nick ever was but the RIP line up just hit at the right time at the peak of Dave’s songwriting. I have a hard time getting into some of the new stuff even though it’s some of the best modern thrash out there.

[@kpec3]

@@brandonjackson5865 Probably anybody who even auditions for Megadeth are elite level.

[@andresmurga2783]

Dave can sing,play guitar,and writte great lyrics......Marty can just play ......both are Amazing....!!!!

[@baroqueguitarist5673]

I remember well as a teenager in high school playing lead guitar in my first real band just how heartbroken I was hearing Marty left. We were even covering Megadeth songs at the time and Marty was my absolute favorite guitarist. I personally was devastated. I know it sounds ridiculous but Megadeth and Marty were a big part of the driving force I had to play and practice like an animal. The guys in my band who we all pretty much started playing music at the same time turned me on to Megadeth and were absolute diehard fans. Even to the point of rejecting Metallica lol... I remember the inspiration I had learning I was going to play lead guitar and had Marty to study. Magical time in my life I will never forget. That first influence or spark that really drives you to not only play but devote practically all your time to it is something you never forget. Worst of all we had tickets to finally see Megadeth on tour together. I actually like Petrelli a lot and I have nothing but good things to say about him. But I badly wanted to see a Megadeth live show with Marty there. At least nowadays great live clips of that era are everywhere. Back in the late 90s before Napster Kazaa etc coming across good footage of live performances were a rare occurrence. I remember going to Sam goody and buying some Megadeth concert on tape but other than that you had to go to live shows to see something like this.

Another of my superbike pre race motivational songs!!! Puts you into the perfect frame of mind to race.

[@Marcus8201]

I race to buddy same for me

[@charliechaplin852]

I race go-karts and I thought this song was about dirt racing at first, still really cool man

[@willjones7128]

One of the best metal riffs ever imo

[@MajorTomMusic]

Excellent performance. Great to realize they play very close to album version. Vocals a bit out of tune at the very start -- probably due to bad monitors: Dave couldn't hear himself well. Overall almost a perfect live rendition of the studio recording. I mean, I don't like hearing some random solos at gigs -- I wanna hear the stuff I'm used to. Maybe it's just me.

[@Tonydodd1962]

And the blues quick solo proves we can play without effects fckn rockin

[@dehypnotizerz]

Flawless Marty, flawless Nick. That was THE lineup. Gee, I miss the *proper* Megadeth so much 😢

[@marcelobelmonte3728]

La era dorada de Megadeth The golden age of Megadeth

[@Ledmetacdc]

Wow, I always thought the first solo was Marty's, not Dave.

[@NucleaPowerIsTheShit]

Yeah, me too. I didn't know Dave could play solos this "organically".

[@bliss_gore5194]

Yeah, was actually surprised, the i remembered his wake up dead and my last words solos

[@felipeneira8814]

I wish they still played this song

[@Gonecheenin]

Only thing disappointing about that blues solo is how short it is!

[@justinohea6086]

Megadeth's best era

[@musicM0VESme]

My favorite too. Edited to add this is one of my favorite Megadeth songs too.

[@ebalim]

that solo was daves??? I learn a new thing))

[@samschossig334]

ebalim a lot of people think Dave can’t play very good and don’t know a lot of solos he does. He might not be as technical as Marty but that man can shred his ass off. I personally love his playing style and the sick, RAW sounding solos he does. He’s a badass

[@edorissen]

@@samschossig334 He used to be good, especially at this time, when Friedman taught him some technique. Now, due to age and drugs he is neither good at singing or playing, which is really sad. He still plays okay, but compared to previous playing it is not even funny.. And playing doesn't have anything to do with age, Friedman and Poland still rock. But no matter, if he still plays well, because he was able to, is able to and will be able to write the most kick ass songs in history of metal.

[@boovol]

Dave's solo is okay but it is actually much easier to play than Marty's

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

same here.. one of the few times if not the only time in which Daves solo is tastier than Marty`s

[@lemir8577]

@@edorissen He stopped drugs in that time. He was never a singer we all know that in 84 or 85 they couldn't find a singer bcs of that mustaine started singing. Junior told to him im sure u can do it. On some albums he sing good and play its ridiculous to talk about his playing. Now he sing bad bcs he is old and etc.

High "very" Speed Dirt! 😀 👆 👍 👏 🙌

[@TheBoss_4151]

Insane. A most excellent metal song.

[@julienverveer748]

nearly no david on the video :( like the bassist isnt as important or something

[@kratos6211]

well, now he isn't

[@mirkotasso]

Great performance!!!

[@SaucisseMerguez]

The way Friedman places his pick is so odd, awesome song!

[@mepopo]

@ebalim Yeah some of the runs are very Marty-esque, however it becomes apparent that it was Dave's once Marty's actual solo starts. It slays Daves.

[@FeelingShred]

Dave's and Marty's guitar styles sound similar at times because both of them were heavily inspired by UFO's guitarist Michael Schenker, who was already playing MAD shit in 1974 at age 17. The album is aptly titled "Phenomenon"

[@forsain4533]

No, Marty's solos never slay Dave's, Dave's never slay Marty's. Marty plays with love and feel, with melody and care, so is better in that way. Dave plays with hate and anger and will just set fire to his neck as he shreds. It depends on if you prefer pure shred or melody. But both are very very very very very very talented either way

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

@@forsain4533 xactly , great guitar duos complement each other

[@samschossig334]

@@forsain4533 honestly, I like Dave’s solo better in this song. Marty’s solo is absolutely amazing but Dave’s is just straight raw and badass

Every second comment on here‘s like „Marty‘s solo is better than Dave‘s, d‘uh 🤪“. I love Marty‘s playing as much as the next guy but try playing these riffs without fault while simultaneously sing. That‘s badass skill right there.
