Cliff was Dave's friend from Metallica days and this song is written and dedicated to Cliff. ​@@MetalGodOfLegend

@@milanbursac8286 yeah i found out. The song was also about Dave girlfriend. Im not sure if the song is for both or only a section is dedicated to Cliff.

I mean it's his solo so it makes sense

[@bensroom]

well... yeah

[@michaelgraham9774]

Benjamín Ignacio Bruna I kinda like Marty's live rendition of it better than the original. Jeff's solo on set the world afire is better than this one imo.

[@Korawitbeam12]

Yep.I felt sad when he said that 🥲

[@codebabe]

He really is. The most underrated guitarist to play in megadeth.

[@ZydarCalh]

Haha, Dave was 27 years old at the time and he looked like he was 17 or 18

[@vicrattlehead6386]

He's still looked young in big 4 tour, I mean the other guys on that tour looks much older than him lol. He started to look old around Super collider era, most likely due to neck surgery and lyme disease.

well, they were all better technically, absolutely. however I love dave's nasty-mean phrasing and intensity. Dave has more balls than anyone as a lead player imo.

Dave's biceps has greatly improved since back then, other skills and talent remain unchanged at a sky high level! Megadeth forever!

I saw them in 88 open for DIO.....awesome show!!

[@bonusduckmann9997]

Tight performance. Daves parts are actually really fun to play and Jeffs solo was really quite good

[@mikeortiz9664]

3:12 is honestly my favorite riff it's soo fun

[@MatheusHenrique-dl8bb]

Everyone talks about marty, but man o man, Jeff Young is a beast this solo is so fucking badass

[@rambobrown9661]

you know, in my darkest opinion, maybe only jeff that could nailed that solo really good, but still... its just in my opinion

[@Michael-uw3lk]

Well I think he did write it haha. So yes, I agree

[@MrMetalclay]

Its kind of the same with every other band member that's been in Megadeth and gone. They get a couple years of playing the song in its best form, then the line up changes and the song kinda sucks live, it's almost like groove juice for Dave's vocals. This is the best performance I've found of this song, I checked out one from 92 and from 2010, not even close to this.

[@Hdo30H]

*-The Most Important Contribution James And Lars Made Was Infuriating The Crazy Redhead And Making Him Create Megadeth, Thank You.*

[@mattlocked]

They were clearly in their prime here. Although it took Marty and Nick to bring their best incarnation. Awesome show anyway, one of their best for sure.

[@rogerparsons2474]

Chris and Gar all the way bud! They were more unique players then Marty and Nick.

[@Leatherface123.]

@@rogerparsons2474 considering Chris & Gar had played together for years before, they had a special chemistry seen in no other lineup

[@yaqubebased1961]

Gar would've given Dave Lombardo a serious run for his money had he sobered up. He knew improv, and had swing.

[@LS-oq3qh]

The person who wrote that Megadeth was playing Devil's Island was probably much more drunk that Dave Mustaine playing at this concert.

[@ChristianSchuhan]

One of the most interesting metal songs ever. Highly sophisticated rhythm changes and tonality. Never been that much of a Megadeth fan but this song always gave me the goose bumps. Exceptional lyrics, which is also highly unusual for a metal song.

This is their best performance of this song that I've found so far on KZbin. I think it has to do with the line up changes.

Come here to remember cliffs death we lost a legend on this day

[@BAKERXVIII]

The "time has a way of taking time" section is seriously one of Mustaines most impressive rhythm sections and I've been listening for a too long... He is playing a line that has around 12 different power chords change around the whole fretboard, and his singing is NOT keeping rhythm with the guitar which is seriously hard to do if you aren't proficient especially in this situation. Many people pay their respects to Holy Wars, saying how impossibly impressive it is to sing and play his guitar work but I beg to differ. Holy Wars is managable, it's a bitch but THIS is a whole 'nother beast.

[@kevinryan6366]

MEGADETH Devils Island 😂🤦

[@LucasBortoliniKuhn]

Yeah, sorry, but I'm not much familiar with Megadeth's early members. I mean, all the other solos, Chris Broderick nails every single solo, but this one is tricky because of the 'scream' with the floyd rose bridge. No one seems to do that like Jeff did.

[@krafgeetar4013]

Because Jeff Young is freakin amazing! Legend!

[@LucasBortoliniKuhn]

@@krafgeetar4013 he surely did an amazing job! Chris did play it very well in his last tours and it seems like the secret is to try and play the harmonics in a simpler, direct way. It was the way I found to play Jeff's solos.
