Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour (cover)

Finally, my new cover of this masterpiece is up! My old cover had some bad syncronization and, obviously, not fully nailed. So I needed to re-cover this one too. This song might just be my favourite Megadeth song together with "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" and "Good Mourning/Black Friday", it really gives you the goosebumps, or like Dave himself says in this song: "My flesh still crawls..." It has a beautiful solo by Young, some very simple but memorable riffing and a nice mix of melancholy and aggression. I used my Small Clone for the cleans and my Boss DD-7 for the chromatic riff in the beginning and Young's solo.

Really good job mate, I'm sure Dave has watched it

[@metalkicker23]

Would of had to. How could he not search a cover of his song like this. Btw sorry for 9 years too late but still

[@glenndaly3975]

So many great covers by Hagroth....502 has got to be my all time favourite of anything on KZbin

[@PocketRobotSid]

Chuck schuldiner playing a Megadeth song

[@jaysdethh6282]

Haha it's true xd

[@sergioponce1317]

I ask god for someone to play this solo just like the record, and god send him, OMFG, you nailed it. Not even Young does these nuances anymore. Tov!

[@Hagroth]

Thanks mate :)

[@kitten-whisperer]

It was very good but damn, dude. Calm down lol. Talking about god and shit.

[@axelchuecaleon177]

Jaime Chagoya he is weat

[@shredwithdignity1378]

Best cover of this song anyone will ever see! Dang, man! You are a legend! And I'm glad you chose to cover this! This, in my opinion, is the greatest Megadeth song! Keep on rocking, man!

[@Hagroth]

Thanks mate :) Yeah, it's definitely one of their best!

[@kevinstout6988]

Dave would be proud. Great cover \m/

[@stealthkori]

I'm right there with you Hagroth! This has been on constant repeat for weeks since recently discovering this hidden gem, This is some TRUE ATTITUDE, I'm slowly beginning to learn this and even with the sloppy rendition I show others, I feel for a moment while playing the chorus that I'm transpired back to the thrash era! Rock on man, Subbed for the mad talent

[@Hagroth]

Haha hell yeah, thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@BerserkersBattle-816]

I'm a guitarist can play anything and I'm telling you to never stop keep playing along with songs you'll be a professional. Flawless execution 🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@drcks]

There's only a handful of good Megadeth Covers, and you sir, make up a lot of those good covers. You are a gift to those who want to learn the song, and how to get the tone.

[@Hagroth]

Thank you, I really appreciate it :)

[@giangnr]

Perfecto, impecable, sos una bestia!!! :D Traduction (Sorry I'm from Argentina): Perfect!! You are a beast! !

[@imalexbojorquez]

Dude this is a most excellent cover! And it happens to be my favorite Megadeth song! You got yourself a subscriber and a fan! Cheers mate!

[@Hagroth]

+Alex Bojorquez Awesome to hear mate, thanks!

[@adarthvinvader]

Mate, are You self-learned, by any chance? *You're Good!* Hands down, IF you're self-learned...

[@Hagroth]

Well yeah, mostly. I started out taking lessons for a year or so, until I was at the level of my first cover pretty much. Cheers!

[@adarthvinvader]

***** well, mate... I envy You, either way! Keep up the good work. Slante!

[@LucasBortoliniKuhn]

I'm not the master of the guitars, but I have to say that you nailed the solo, congratulations. I always thought that the part with the 'scream' of the solo was with the Floyd Rose bridge working, but you nailed it. Congratulations.

[@PGB55]

Great execution my friend. This song has that magical progression where Dave's musical genius shines. I've been trying to cover this song for a long time, but nowhere near to the standard you have achieved so far ;) . Carry on the good work.
