Megadeth, Tornado of Souls, live at Budokan, feat Marty Friedman (2023)

[@late6295]

You know You are an ultimate guitar god when You got Dave and Kiko playing rhythm while you play the best solo in the world

[@chriss11499]

Yeah he sucks now coz he is doing nothing productive or worth listening to.

​@muzallisam5068 meanwhile they released their softest album of all time "Risk" and then Marty left. I don't really buy that story about Marty leaving because Megadeth was trying to be heavier, it was actually the complete opposite.

[@KitWriter]

@@AcidWords1maybe, in this scenario, he didn’t die dead enough? Ayyy. For real though, Nick’s death at such a young age (51, I believe??) is just a total bummer. Dave was trying to talk him into coming back in 2014 and 2015. Nick was like, “I’ll think about it but I need to finish these tours first. I’m loyal dude,” and then he died on stage. It sucks. Dude was a great drummer. Very underrated, and very consistent. Dystopia really needed Chris Adler to work, and Dirk does an amazing job playing Adler’s parts and he did great on their latest album, but I’ll always miss Nick’s straight forward punch style of playing.

[@TheyCallMeMrMaybe]

It's not like Marty ever left on bad terms, he was feeling creatively unfulfilled when he left Megadeth and despite Dave's resistance to the idea of letting Marty go, it was for the best (for Marty's sake, at least). But now we get to enjoy moments like these.

[@ashleywoolnough4884]

Shame Ellefson’s not there

[@joeyvanostrand3655]

@@ashleywoolnough4884 very, very good point . I've been following his solo work. Really good stuff! I was actually quite disappointed at the way Mustaine handled the whole ordeal. In an act of what was seemingly moral and virtuistic hogshitttery, fighting the battle of preserving the pristine image and following yett never, ever deviating from, the path of purity, honesty, restraint, chastity, and sobriety he himself and many other band mates have had since anyone anywhere can remember, his only choice was evident. Backed into a corner was he. Horseshit. That was the last time he would EVER pay another MEGADETH "bandmate" that sort of money. Dave was the last bandmate. Temp labor on the books from here on out and the savings will be enormous! Mustaine cared not one iota that David was ZOOMflappin' pappy to a legal, above the age of consent young lady whilst married to another woman who remained, until she didn't, unaware of the ongoing papflappery. Pissed she was when she found out. Rightfully so. Sticks with David. He didn't carry through with a physical slammhogging of the aforementioned young lady, just a bit of peek and furious waggle. Forgiveness is a powerful tool built solely from honest, genuine love. But, forgiveness only goes so far towards the mortgage, braces, school shoes and septic system treatments. It actually does NOTHING now those checks stop being deposited. Wishing she hadn't made such a spectacle about the discovery of the GoOgLeMeAtBeAtS meetings, especially within earshot or email to Mustaine . That was his ticket to ride solo. The albatross of friendship and what he referred to as "Brotherhood" was no longer around his wallet chains. That born again shit is for the media articles and the last few moments of life. That's when your hail Mary pass means the most. Dethbed 180° - Mustaine 101. Sneaky, slimy mothafuggga. But wholly expected.

[@catsooey]

I really miss those days. It was such a great time to be alive. I feel like the advent of technology has done a lot of damage to the arts because there’s just too much going on, constantly. There’s no time to stop and think about what’s going on and then create something, because people have already forgotten whatever it was that you’re writing about. And even if they haven’t, there’s no time to stop and listen to whatever you created. It’s great for revisiting where we were, but sometimes it makes me realize that we took a wrong turn somewhere, whether it was avoidable or not.

Megadeth was suppose to playing in Budokan when Marty was in the band, but it did not happen and Marty was super sad...now Dave made it happen after 23years...he wanted Marty to get that budokan show.

Amazing response from the crowd when marty was shining. You can feel that energy❤️

[@leosheridan2636]

yesss! back in 96 I heard this masterpiece for the first time on a sony walkman in a old, mouldy, dilapidated house and it filled me with excitement and such awe of Marty Friedman's Solo skills and use of colour, hitting those magic notes, that most metal guitarists bypass at 200 mph those sweet plump Purple notes!

The show Marty always wanted to do with Megadeth. His appearance was probably bigger than Megadeth itself in Japan. He is larger than life there.

My favorite Megadeth song🎶🌪

Моя тоже. Очень классная песня)

[@nmbr1slayer]

I would have killed to see Marty play this live! Many can play the solo...only one can do it with the style it was designed to be played in! It sounded so good with a phone recording...can't imagine how awesome it sounded in person!

This is the video right here, that turned me into a Megadeth fan. I'm very proud of myself, and Marty has inspired me greatly in many ways.

A M A Z I N G ! Marty playng the solo at 3:06 is totally awesome!

[@randysmith9841]

Never thought I would see Marty Friedman in Megadeth again.

[@mr.timebombman2230]

Dirk is fucking incredible

[@nildoherrera4607]

Uno de los solos mas epicos en las manos de su creador...

[@agendragurung5313]

No one can play this solo like Marty - the vibrato, tone and feel - the bends a little behind the beat so perfect. Respect.

[@DaleBouwman]

Listening to Marty play his solo gives me chills every time. Truly an epic lineup.

[@Delirio92]

Han pasado 24 años para que podamos ver esto. Gracias chicos!

[@sbrave]

We all waited ages for this, and Marty did not disappoint!

[@kgcane5195]

Favorite solo of all time! Marty is perfection!
