Pitrelli is really underrated just because he isn't as technical as the others, but come on, the guy played the solo on a Gibson Explorer hanging as low as his knees, I give him credit for shredding on that kind of guitar

[@AlenMecan]

Yes, I admire Pitrelli´s playing my entire life, but seeing this comparison is a bit dehumanizing. 5 guys playing Marty´s solo. Still love them all.

yep i agree hes my third favorite guitar player they've had

[@redberrydhaka8636]

He tried but in vain.

[@kgunitkeese17]

Which was not a good idea in the first place. Having it that low may look cool to some, but it reduces your playing ability and maneuverability. If it was higher it would’ve given him more freedom for his arm to move. I’m not saying it was bad, but I think it could’ve been better.

I'm not sure... Kiko is just a beast, one of the beast guitar players out there for sure!

[@pagejamesuk]

Zé Pereira Dude.. You are right. Kiko plays those key notes that define and separate each run in the solo, the carefully placed single bend transition notes that Marty talks about which makes his playing stand out. Marty has played it much better live. Marty timing most consistent followed by Kiko for me. Kiko seems to be late on the chromatic descending section but overall the better performance

[@tasrex]

Everyone of them gave nice interpretations of it, some closer to the original than others. But we just got to give Marty credit for creating one of the most beautiful solos in heavy metal history. Absolutely genius!

Extra points to Marty for actually writing the fucking thing

[@SimBol1216]

Props to Kiko and Al (and to a lesser degree, Glen) for adding their own special touches to the solo. The song is about a breakup, and in my view, the solo should reflect that. Everyone has a different breakup experience, a different story or set of stories. Playing this solo the way Marty plays it is like trying to feel his emotions rather than adapt the solo to reflect your own. I would encourage anyone learning this solo on their own to first get the original down, but then to add their own touches to make it emotionally honest and reflective of their own style, personality, and experiences.

[@danielmrtns]

Broderick is a flamenco guitar player doing metal. Pretty impressive. Kiko did well too, although he clearly f’ed up a piece there. Marty has to be the best of them all, because he freaking wrote the piece. Genius.

Being in a band myself, playing some songs originated and composed by several guitarists before me entering the band, I could understand how it feels to be these dudes. Filling and standing in other's shoes yet you know you unconsciously share your own tone and color, so the song and melody lines must have changed somehow. In this case of Tornado of Souls, gotta say I like them all, each one had been able to perform in their own uniqueness. If I were forced to rank them, I'd go with this order: Marty, Broderick, Loureiro, Pitrelli, and Drover. Nice post by the way.

Pitrelli just looked like badass hard rocker, he played so many gibson les paul on stage with Megadeth or using Explorer model just like James Hetfield on this video which is kind of type of rhythm guitarists selection for metal band. And what I really loved about this guy is his solo is look so pentatonic compared to the rest of Megadeth's lead guitar. Sorry for bad English, not my first or second language 😁

But I think the best guitar player Megadeth ever had was Chris Broderick. The guy may be cold as a refrigerator but his technique and general quallity are perfect.

[@deadontimemovie8757]

Marty was a beast onstage. I saw one of his last shows and i had no idea he was unhappy and fixing to leave. He was rocking and smiling that night. The next time i saw them with Pitrelli, i remember Dave telling him to move around more and Al did not like that.

[@sofcard]

Easy to play the solo. But difficult to create it. FRIEDMAN is the best EVER.

[@jackkeaveny2762]

sofcard gonna have to disagree on the easy to play part

[@rickfeith6372]

Especially with the attitude, feel, and raw power of Marty...dude plays HARD...and his vibrato and inverted right arm...the stuff of legends

[@felsgamer]

0:42 is the only hard thing if u play it as fast as he does imo. The rest is not that hard actually. I mean, Friedman didnt even play it like in the original

[@blitzkrieg7896]

sofcard Apparently not for All and Glen, their performances where not even close.

[@warningchimes24]

the 0:53 part is the hardest

[@KlumSyTurtl3]

Why is everyone talking about Shawn? It's Glen who plays the solo, not Shawn.

[@nds84]

Rude awakening best concert ever

[@lafera310]

Yeah. Marty is Legend. It will be forever

[@luizim_11]

They're all great!

[@lucianoferreiradebrito9145]

Caramba, Kiko Loureiro arrebentou, sem tirar os créditos do Fridman mas Kiko é cara, além da técnica apurada passa toda a emoção.

[@TheUnderlost]

1:54 até o Nando Moura foi apreciar a performance

[@EduardoSantos-fp2wu]

Kkkkk

[@RiveN15_]

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@etube25]

😂😂😂 Igualzinho

[@rafaelmotta8352]

E o Ozielzinho tava do lado

[@yancesar3961]

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@LUCASLIMA-ul5ki]

Enquanto os outros se concentram pra fazer o solo o Kiko o faz zuando com técnica e precisão absoluta. Os outros são bons, mas o Kiko é fora da curva. Sem dúvida o mais técnico de todos.

[@leonardocardoso9594]

O feeling do Kiko é coisa de outro mundo todos os sons que ele executa tem alta precisão técnicas incrivelmente extremas , e o incrível de tudo que ele faz soar natural , e não parece esta fazendo esforço algum para isso, cara eu o considero um guitarrista de todos os tempos dessa geração, nivel de caras como satriane, van Haley , Steve vai

[@markoa.180]

Megadeth finil...o kiko

[@beefcake0354]

I love the solo and how it was composed. and all these pros are a million light years better than me, so I like 'em all \m/

[@6stringstorulethemall967]

I too hope that one day I play a solo nobody else could play right

[@willzdevil]

Only Kiko fits in Marty's boots.

[@_Chipster]

It's too bad the solos aren't played with Marty's boots instead of a guitar

[@alexandrecardoso7735]

Vai, tesouro! \m/

[@dwnmss6675]

Marty: more punch Kiko: much more precision and definition.

[@RockShowsVynils]

wtf dude no one plays it better than Marty.

[@SnipinG1337]

How is 4:56 precise exactly?

[@adiloudghiri1331]

2:03 those bends and slides of Glen are a pur eargasm

[@iliketurtles999]

4:19 is something to replay. The way he bends and the whole "theatricality" in the moment is chillingly good

[@HitTheSnake]

I think Broderick is such a good player that playing Tornado of Souls is easy for him.. that’s why it sounds lifeless, cause it sounds as if he is barely trying, cause he is just technically too good. He doesn’t have to work for it, so there is no “feel”

[@vlcheish]

Not thats not the reason lmao. What makes the solo is Friedman's melodic bending which is what goes over the head of most players. You could play solo note for note and you won't sound as good as Marty. Thats the difference between Marty and someone playing a Megadeth cover.

[@seanmatthewking]

I get what you’re saying. Some people who can just play really fast are almost impatient to play the next note and rush through it because they’re bored. There is something about being at brink of your abilities that gives a solo an edge. Maybe Marty was really pushing himself with this one.

[@AnabolicFarmer]

He's good but have no charisma just like John Petrucci. Technical freaks but zero entertainment and connection with the crowd.

[@vlcheish]

@@AnabolicFarmer Thats the other thing that gets overlooked....Marty had the most stage presence of any guitar player in Megadeth

[@sakurasfish2115]

Bro fr Broderick played it PERFECT, i appreciate hearing all the notes clearly like he did and bends are right too. I don't get all the no feeling thing ppl think a guitarist is better if they make dorky faces and moves

[@jdmetallica1265]

Kiko perfect performace, fist Guitarrist!!!! \m/

[@Macsk8ing]

Imagine the mess Kirk Hammett would have made.

[@kenshin5150]

I don't get why people dislike Brod because hes playing it perfectly without emotion. He doesnt meed to show off by playing/ adding any unnecessary bending/notes.

[@manurivera94]

All of them did that solo really good!!!
