Partying on tour, stacks of pizza & new solo album - Q&A #39

[@domainjester]

"Ice bucket of loneliness" is poetic and deep. I felt that. All the best to you Kiko, thanks again for the videos.

[@kamaboko1]

New solo album? Awesome!!❤‍🔥

[@user-im9fd4ri5w]

Kiko big love from Russia! there are a lot of fans of your music in our country, we will be so happy if you come to us with a show!

[@merthocanndinlendiricigozl224]

HELL YEAAH!

[@larswalther1902]

@@user-im9fd4ri5w get out of Ukraine first.....

[@Isabella_31]

Love your music Kiko! My first introduction was Sounds of Innocence and I was hooked. Open Source is amazing and remains a favourite instrumental album of mine. Always looking forward to a new solo record and hearing your writing influence with Megadeth! 🤘

[@lefthandedfork3337]

Nightstalkers is so badass! Amazing work Kiko !

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Remember all those freaking awesome band VHS movies in the 80's and 90's? I seen them with Kiss, Motley Crue and some others, this was a common thing back then... I find Kiko's content like that. Like being a spectator in the band-life and behind the scenes, but with guitar instructions too! This channel itches a spot for me

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Sorry for you, but I was born with a brain

[@krisstieghorst7415]

Thanks Kiko! Looking forward to hearing the new album in full.... & I think we're all curious about your next solo album. Guitar very SWEET! 🦋🖤🦋

[@mykelgreene911]

Bravo kiko 👏 blessed with all good things! 👍 thank you for sharing youre thoughts and answers to the questions!

[@davidp6007]

Thank you and really looking forward to the new album!

[@chosenone7584]

Thank you sir, awesome person

[@bloosunbrightjr.2381]

Wow! Im so shocked Kiko. Thanks for choosing my question! Youre the man as usual :D \m/

[@matthewsuess682]

This guy is bad ass.

[@Batapotamus]

Love how you bring a human side to things Kiko! As someone who travels a lot for work also I totally understand the loneliness of hotels rooms night after night. After the adrenaline of a show and then going to the quiet of a hotel room must be a drastic contrast. Love these videos and please keep them going.

[@stevegt2682]

I've been listening to the first two tracks released so much they are stuck in my head 24/7 😂

[@mattvideoeditor]

Damn you are a machine!

[@franciscolopezpadilla7610]

VERY......INTERSTING....KIKO...!!!........Tastuan...México

[@syonys6222]

Hi Kiko longtime fan here My question is do you ever go exploring for Music/Guitar shops on your day's off? Also If so what has been your favorite find?

[@mruncletheredge]

Hey Kiko... Glad to see the Q and A's are back.... Got a guitar question for you... What's your preferred neck profile? (For six string) Thanks.

[@mkivy]

Thank you for taking the time for us…i so enjoy ur music, capabilities, talent, and discipline….

[@EdwinCombs]

I'm so glad Dave brought you onto Megadeth. Kiko, you are an awesome player and I love your attitude. I got tickets to your show in Virginia Beach and I can't wait to see you all there.

[@curtwehrmeyer124]

Ive been writing in comment sections that Megadeth is unrivaled with the new album from the singles we have heard. So many times I write Kiko is the perfect guitar player for Megadeth and so many people agree. Thought you should know that seeing the comment sections are for other bands yet Megadeth crushes them all !! Cheers to you Kiko !!

[@ankedevyver9749]

Hi Kiko, thank you for continuing to answer questions! This is one I have had for a long time: Is it not super weird or awkward to regularly meet people who know who you are, maybe even know a lot about you - personal history, career, your answers in random Q&A's - but of whom you know absolutely nothing, not even the name? Do you have a way to describe this experience? I think this is part of the experience of a famous person that non-famous people can hardly imagine (and that fascinates me) - we always know someone else more or less to the same extent as they know us.

[@duodontousp1]

Good question.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

the bigger problem is more like, how to keep the weirdos away because a lot of metalheads are completely whacky in the head, while these nutty people still 'know so much personal information about you'...

[@johnstie3331]

Thank you Kiko! These Q&A videos as well as the backstage videos, you share, give us fans real enjoyment. You are an amazing person. Keep on rocking!

[@calvertphoto]

Hi Kiko - love your vids, especially the on tour vlogs. My question is, what is the thing you least like about touring?

[@dirktucker77]

I will be seeing you in Auburn WA. on the 20th!!

[@martymooney8099]

Keep up the great work Sir... 🤘🤘✌🖖

[@edoardo7ed88]

Grande Kiko Loureiro. Have a beautiful day! Cheers from Italy.

[@conamanona]

Anxiously waiting for your commentary video on Night Stalkers

[@DeathMetalGuitar]

Thank you Kiko!! Love the new songs and your new Kiko200

[@TheWarningRockBand]

Hahaha, dave with that slick hair looks awesome!

[@user-ql2sq2cn3x]

I LOVE Kiko SO MUCH, I LOVE MEGADETH. I wish you more inspiration in your creativity.

[@Baraka_Obama_]

I would love to see you and Chris Poland do a collaboration 🎸🎸🎸

[@aaron.6923]

Night stalkers goes hard

[@gldi8hr]

I’ve always been a big fan and consumer of guitar instrumental albums, Kiko’s are definitely within my favorite ones ever. Mainly when he challenges himself by making music out of his comfort zone(metal related) and circules between jazz, Latin/Brazilian music. Universo Paralelo is by far my favorite album of his and I call it “heavy jazz”, would be great if he came up with another jazz music type of album. Already feeling anxious and looking forward for the next release ⚠️🤞

[@firdeye2681]

One of my biggest inspirations… maybe my biggest

[@joaojosedasilva8548]

Cara sou sempre seu fan sem sombra de dúvidas 😀✌

[@MusicesunVoyage]

awesome video Kiko!!! You're amazing!

[@MyDeepGuide]

Yay, Q&A's are back! Apropos the new solo album, I love it when you do softer and Latino side of music as it allows for your amazing expressivity. As for the question, which Ibanez AZ (or AZS) model do you like the best, and why? Thanks for being awesome and as inspiration! 🌞

[@m.g9507]

Hey Kiko! Thanks for another cool video👌always great to hear some news! Open source was already amazing and i am looking foreward to youre new solo album. Do you plan a solo tour again? would be great🙏! Greetings michael

[@liliepepe65]

done album with yamandú costa and Hamilton de holanda

[@dingao000]

A careta da capa tá massa

[@321novrain]

Loving your videos Kiko!!! IMO, you are No doubt the best guitar player out there !!

[@thutaaung3394]

What's your favorite thrash bands not in big 4?

[@thevindicator557]

Entrando de férias agora do curso de biologia, talvez se o album sair antes de setembro eu pegue todas as musicas na guitarra e largue a faculdade tbm. E aí o destino se repete hahahah 🤘🏼

[@hyrulelink16]

Hey Kiko. Awesome content as always. What are your guilty pleasure bands/performers?

[@avisionofsorrow]

I'm not even a Megadeth fan but what you are doing with this channel is trailblazing - watch every other touring musician copy your template. It is great, cheers!

[@MadMax-oh4yw]

Kiko i think your guitar playing sounds awesome so far on the 2 new album songs, speed and range baby!

[@daniel_naaden]

Hello, Mr. Loureiro! I have a question.. What would be your wise words to someone who feels like the dream of being a musician is almost impossible and so far out of reach, but they love it with all their heart?

[@valerialuisa3215]

Sou fã incondicional do seu trabalho. Imprescindível na minha playlist. MASTERPIECE🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤💚💚💚💛💛💛👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💜💜💜💜💜💜😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@Wanshankupardiengdoh]

Kiko my question for today is " Do you prefer Legato playing or Alternate Picking ( picking every note)" If yes, why? Huge fan Kiko.. You're my Idol and i watched every single one of your videos, Vlogs.. Love from India🇮🇳, Meghalaya, Shillong.

[@lukewalden3350]

great question

[@Crovax]

Do you have a metric ton of black jeans and black shirts or just the same every concert? thanks for always taking the time for us kiko!!!

[@jeppej4265]

Would be cool to see a collab with you and Stam1na! They are a finnish trash metal band and you might enjoy the approach they have to their music.

[@grogu1986]

The new album will crush everything in its path! So excited!!! Q/A - what country you’ve toured in has the best food? Thanks Kiko! 🤘

[@priscillaoreilly1673]

Awesome 💯👍

[@ayumiateneaacosta27]

ayy ese besitoo que tiro el dave 😍

[@ninabiryukova6020]

Q&A 40: Kiko, hello from Russia, Ryazan! Have you ever used simulation of someone's behaviour to become as successful in YOUR field as this person is in his own? It 's great to learn something more about such people (for instance, about their convictions) than just being inspired by them =)

[@mht525]

Exileration and deprivation, the extremes of. Familiarity helps, yeah Pizza 🍕 lol confined cow 🤣 Thanks the content and insights. Stay safe stay metal ✌️🖖🏴☠️🇦🇺

[@simonedavanco497]

kIKO PODCAST

[@thesabbath483]

Your face on the thumbnail 🤣

[@marioemboque]

Hi Kiko. I've seen that you collaborated on a Paco Ventura album. Do you like other Spanish guitarists? Jorge Salán, Alberto Cereijo... I love your videos, thanks a lot. Saludos desde España 🤘🏼

[@gemini1567]

Pizza, lucky charms.😊

[@Plymouthmusicschool]

I have never been on tour but think that i would be eating clean, exercising a lot and focusing on sleep. Great video thank you

[@Thrash155]

Thanks for answering my Question Kiko.. :) Take Care and Be Safe..

[@fraydiethemachine7541]

Kikokaine!

[@siddhantbhardwaj6338]

Kiko, you’re amazing! I’ve been playing the guitar for about a year and a half, and you’ve been a huge inspiration to me! I love talking about the construction of guitars and their different playability, so what do you prefer: the Kiko-100 or the Kiko-200?

[@superblondeDotOrg]

If you have a new solo album like Open Source in the future, then publish the full transcriptions as sheet music also, it would be very good educationally and will draw composers like myself into the mix..

[@hmpz36911]

If life went my way and I became a successful musician, my Behind The Music would be about how I went on a downward spiral with food, rather than the usual drug thing. 😆

[@GChris-ny8fp]

Now that Kiko is in Megadeth, I appreciate his work with Angra even more.

[@svsugvcarter]

How did you celebrate your 50th birthday, Kiko? What did your family and friends do to celebrate that milestone?

[@sahedahsanabir8520]

Why megadeth dont play washington is next, Head crusher, Never walk alone in the stage?? Even not after Lomenzo's entrance??

[@guitargod4697]

hows your fingers? are they in pain? what do you do to ease the pain? no pro seems to want to discuss this

[@slushbox3443]

Yeah I'm down with you doing a thrash melodic solo album

[@c.turbina.4987]

GENIOOOOOOO....

[@robtam7529]

Do you ever meet fans as they come in before the show? Hang out at the entrance and catch a few fans; the early bird arrivals? And the food stuff destroyed Axle Rose.

[@aadijain1609]

Hey Kiko!, I have a question for you. How are you able to follow and arpeggiate the chords in a chord progression so efficiently? I usually find it difficult to do consciously and just end up doing it subconsciously and not thinking about it, and it usually sounds good!.

[@car_daniel]

Eu acho que um álbum solo com pegada Thrash seria sensacional!

[@vberga]

Uma das músicas do próximo album poderia ser construída de maneira "open-source". Poderia montar o esqueleto da musica e fazer um concurso no youtube e as melhores partes seriam encaixadas na música final.

[@PastelComGini]

The 2 MD singles are awesome, but IMO maybe your solo work shouldn't go in the same direction of your MD work. Of course, having over or two songs in that general line wouldn't hurt, but I believe that solo albums are meant to bring both the artist and the public to new directions. Just my 2 cents.

[@Staypuft1981]

What a dude what a pro. So likable this wizard. Kiko if you’re lonely you could just pull a woman or four to go to the hotel right?

[@lucianoalves1878]

Any plans for a new signature guitar color or AZ model maybe? Please, Kiko!

[@ezraterry4219]

I was wondering why you play almost exclusively strat shaped guitars? I’ve noticed many players who are more technical like you use the the Stratocaster shape more often

[@hmpz36911]

Kiko, which previous guitarist for Megadeth was the best fit for the band overall, musically speaking?

[@granthelas4468]

question: how do you find a comfortable position for your guitar strap? maybe you have a good recommendation for the brand of strap, because I can't seem to find a comfortable way to stand and play.

Espero que algum dia você chame o Tosin Abasi ou que seja chamado (sei lá 😅) para fazer uma música. Sinto que a música seria muito boa, cheia de técnicas e toques filosóficos.

[@gianlucapolitano3228]

Maestro 🙏, what about writing process, how do you work on ideas?!? I know you got all those different skills, wich I love so much, guitar, piano, acoustic guitar (nylon primarily). How you develop your ideas (sorry for repetitions)?!?! Cheers from Italia!!! Ciao Kiko!!!

[@adamglegg7202]

Haha Vegan, Chris? 🤣😘

[@stanleyvasquez7110]

DEAR KIKO...would you mind if i do cry like a baby when i see you guys in the meet and greet session, for Albuquerque on August 27th, ???? Jus giving you a heads up cause i will cry no matter what....Greetings My friend....Orgullo Latino Kiko Siempre.

[@francismiller4723]

Kiko, have you read any Megadeth fanfiction with you in it? This is vital information for the new album. kikocaine

[@zombierritual]

They asked him about kikocaine on his story😭

[@MelodyMaker218]

Hi Kiko, you are so awesome. My question is about the melodic minor mode. Any tips or tricks about it? Do you even use it? Thanks so much!

[@cimob3935]

Explain collaborate ? And your part in that collaboration ? Which 8 songs? I hope you stay loyal to Megadeth and Dave. Dystopia and End game are my favorite albums to put in and listen to over and over. Even tho I love all albums by Megadeth.

[@aronbalkovics6598]

Hey Kiko! How did you feel before your first show with megadeth? Were you nervous or it was like any other shows?

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

got sounds of inosense cd !!!

Que ah pasado con todas tus guitarras tagima ? Las usas de vez en cuando ? Saludos desde Argentina

[@Thrasher-xe8zd]

When did James Hetfield start driving your bus ???????? hahaha

[@gaiustesla9324]

When you make music do you hear something in your mind then try to work it out or do you mess around and stumble upon something you like the sound of?

[@pikedylan2488]

Are you left handed playing right handed? It looked like you were signing the guitar with your left hand.

[@Thijscube]

yeah he is

[@darknessviking]

that is the reason so many famous people do d ru gs , beacuse they sit all alone with a high in the hotel room and they cant handle it mentally even blackie lawless write about this in the 80s not everyone is as smart as kiko with this, i mean even my big idol dave fell into the trap thank yu for the video

[@eprohoda]

hey,Liek, so breathtaking -

[@NoobOnATele]

Thoughts on Telecasters?

Kiko, do you prefer vibrato or bend?
