1:14 if he sounded like that his entire career, he would go down as one of the greatest metal singers. This era Mustaine is my favorite voice in metal.

[@papuhdave9643]

It's a shame, he lost that amazing voice because alcohol, drugs and refusing to take vocal coaching...

[@thegamingfish547]

XxShenLonGxX It sucks. His voice in this even with the alright quality blew me away. Sounds better than the studio version which was never the case with 90s Dave. I wish he kept this power in his voice

[@H.E.M.]

What’s crazy is people say his vocal sucks when is metal as hell. I don’t listen to thrash for Mariah Carey vocals.

[@nima665]

Exactly! His voice was soooo unique! :/

[@Dylanjames3679]

Dave was the best vocalist in metal during his prime. Perfect for Megadeth in every way. Good mourning Black Friday or Looking Down The Cross are great examples \m/

Yeah. He can't play solos at all.

It's such a shame that nowadays we have tons of high quality Megadeth live shows online, but don't have just about any decent quality footage from these good old days. Amazing performance from the whole band, and Mustaine is such a beast here!

at least we have decent footage of the 90s.

[@traviscerwin7616]

It really sucks that nowadays Megadeth has to tour constantly for income. They do so many shows that after the first week, Dave's voice gets shot and he sounds like he's dying. Because they play that many shows. Back then he was so young, high as fuck on coke and heroin, and yet a GOD OF THRASH. The music has energy that gives life, His voice sounds angry and powerful, it's like it's the sound of the emotion to fight the world. His solo is GODLY. We will never get this again, because we will Never have another Dave Mustaine. At least they still make the best Studio albums. But man... I'll be sad when he dies. He gave birth to the band that made the music that harnessed the will to rebel against defeat, to understand your own demons, and to Survive through itall. Thank you Dave Mustaine, for making the best metal there ever was, and ever will be.

Kirk is a more complete player, to be honest.

[@grahfkarate1799]

[@anish3183]

@@grahfkarate1799 Actually, I have the reverse opinion. Dave sounds like he's stuck in thrash mode of peace Sells/RIP while Kirk sounds like he's actually progressed since the 80s. Not by much, but he's got his 90s, 2000s, mixed with his 80s style. Not saying I don't like Dave's style, but still.

[@grahfkarate1799]

point the camera at Gar dammit

[@ESP500]

For real though, fucking camera man. I wish i could have seen that guy live in action

[@coleremple1428]

+ESP500 no doubt. its unfortunate we barely get to see Gar in Megadeth, the only time ive even heard him talk was in a band interview and all he said was his name. No drum footage, (expect a little in the Peace Sells music video) no interviews or anything. Unless you were lucky enough to have attended some of Megadeth's shows with this particular line up, it blows.

[@exangue]

I was thinking exaclty the same, man!, Gar deserves as much attenttion as Dave, even more, the guy was a beats on the drums

[@butterman2205]

Everytime I watch this I shake, this song is epic, quite epic that should be more known. So great writen, take a listen to the original and will feel the strength it gets till the solo, where your head will explode. You can feel how badass and raw is Mustaine. Such an inspiration for all the upcoming bands like mine. Hands down.

[@antialti295]

Most people think that the real Megadeth is the line-up with Friedman and Menza and I used to think it also but after reading the book of Dave Mustaine I think that THIS is the REAL MEGADETH !! I love this song !

That bc rich, rich bich is so cool and strange at the same time, is it really a ten string? it seems as so, how is it possible to solo on this

Dave only used 6 even though his guitar could support 10.

I've had the Honor of playing drums on that stage 3 times. Knowing the killers that had been in that spot was SUPER COOL.

Chris Vejar *B.C. Rich Bich Perfect 10*. It’s a ten string but with the 4 octave strings cut, allowing it to play like a normal 6 string. Custom black paint job by the man Dave himself.

You can't say shit when you can't spell "bitch"

[@GanjaPharmzor]

The trick is to position your fingers in the correct way. Normally your fingers are pointed upwards, but when you play that part you have to position them so that they are pointing towards you, like some sort of diagonal shape. For the speed, it's just like everything else, practice slow, use alternate picking.
