Whoa. Waters & Mustaine write a song would equal Thrash heaven.

Jeff is definitely ranked with Friedman, skolnick Hammett and Gary holt
@@williamdon3442Только Хэммет с Фридманом и рядом не стоят. И Марти, и Джефф в разы техничнее гитаристы 🤷♂️
Cool guy, well spoken, but he has manners and not an egotistical duchebag. Proof you can still be a great guy and a great musician
at the same time

i love that Jeff is still such a fan of metal, he seems as enthusiastic about others as he does about Annihilator, a true ambassador.

Jeff said "the best man for the job got it, Marty Friedman".
That was a very honest opinion! :-)
Amazing album
Glad you stuck to your guts to say "no"
Very glad annihilators where they're at
Yeah well as awesome of a guitarist as Jeff is I love what Marty did with the Rust in Peace solos. I'm sure Jeff would've written great leads for that album as would Dime but Marty......I don't know. I'm probably biased because his solos from Rust are stuck in my head but they're just such classics. I like the way things turned out in this timeline. I guess somewhere in the parallel Universe there's a Rust in Peace album with Dime and in another with Jeff and they sound awesome :D
Huh, Jeff apparently lives in a fun palace, considering the background.
Welcome.. to the fun palace!
Jeff certainly had the talent and style for Megadeth, though I think working with Mustaine would've challenged him to be an even better player and would have pushed him creatively. On the flipside, Dave would've been challenged too, as Jeff is more rhythm guitar oriented than most Megadeth players have been.
It would've been an ego contest and I think Mustaine has never liked anyone interfering with the songwriting process.
@thedddemon
He stayed with Annihilator to make the biggest-selling Annihilator record titled "Never, Neverland" in 1990. Set the World on Fire was an Annihilator record released in 1993.
In case you need a reminder that he's Canadian 4:08

Thanks, Jeff, you were crucial and extremely helpful getting Me and 3 kids backstage to meet Mr. Mustaine in Calgary 10 years ago, Dave told us about when he met you and he spoke highly of you. I told him it was an honour meeting him and I owe you for arranging a meeting of such magnitude. All while Dave is showing us his socks and underwear backstage, (one of the boys asked about travelling and clothing) Funny side note.. we met Alexi backstage that day, he saw me with 3, 8 year old boys and came up and talked with us. My son and his two friends were over the moon about Alexi...(and still are) RIP Alexi \m/__@__\m/
I absolutly love Megadeth's lineup and what they're doing. Love Thirteen and Super Colider. They have like 20 albums now, they can't always sound like Rust in Peace or Countdown, they're evolving and I love it.
Love how he brought of Cacophony. Marty and Jason Becker were such an insane duo.
jeff is such a good person. and one of the best metal guitar players EVER!

Never Neverland is the best album!
Agreed, I like it a lot better than Alice In Hell. There's not a day that goes by when I'm not blasting "Fun Palace"
@@thelonglakerockstar Yeah man I was blasting that shit today
I even have a story about that your saying, the "most of you would remember every word Dave Mustaine said to you, if you were a Megadeth fan".
I happen to be both die-hard Annihilator and Megadeth fan, and when Dave was signing books in Helsinki, I had my Annihilator trucker cap on. Dave looked up to it and said "Is that Annihilators'? I know Jeff Waters, he's a crazy cool guy." Most awesome thing that has happened in my life. + I got a handshake from him.

No wonder I like Rust in Peace so much and still listen to it along with Alice and Neverland, but "Metal" has stuck in my stereo for a few years too. I love these stories of great metal bands listenning and being inspired by each other. Metallica was also secretly listenning to Megadeth. LOL We are the "ARMY OF ONE" song, says it all.
I'm agree with Waters, Marty was the man for the Megadeth Job
Yes, we have Jeff Waters, Jeff Loomis and Dimebag Darrell... Such Guitar Monsters, but nowdays we have Monster bands thanks that this 3 Guys never came to Megadeth (that it wouldn't be Bad too)
Megadeth, Annihilator, Nevermore and Pantera
Yeah, Megadeth with 3 of This Guys can Sound awesome
I'm glad you didn't end up in Megadeth, Jeff. No disrespect to the other bands but you're easily my favourite thrash guitarist and Annihilator will always be the best thrash band in my opinion.
With you there. Annihilator got me into thrash
Dude I saw you at the Testament Exodus Death Angel gig in Manchester England. You said hi and Alex Skolnik threw me a pick. Love all you guys. Peace
I originally always thought that the Alice In Hell album had a Rust In Peace vibe big time, but than some time later I found out that Rust In Peace had a Alice In Hell vibe. I can't remember why I thought Rust In Peace came out before Alice In Hell did. I love both albums alot and both are easily in my top ten favorite Thrash Metal albums of all time.
This is one of those "What if's" that people are going to look back on in 20 years and wonder with amazement.
For sure, Jeff's my favorite of them all. I sure do miss Mike Mangini though. I listen to Annihilator's Metal album almost everyday since I got it last July. I don't blame Mangini for going to Dream Theater though, he's a really good fit for them. Annihilator is one of the biggest under rated bands ever. I wish they would tour Canada, I would travel to a big city to see them.
My goodness.... if Dimebag had joined Megadeth... Game over.
I think I heard the reason Dime didn't go was because Dave wouldn't take Vinnie along with him.
+rwoods2k I remember hearing that too. If dave had taken them both.. good grief. That would have been the band of the era.
marty is better than dimebag, i said it
agreed...
it would have been shit tbh.... dimebag's style doesn't fit with megadeth AT ALL, the way things went down are ideal.
What was the song at the end? Fantastic story. Loved this!
The guy is so humble and cool
The Song in the End of the Video is called "Ambush" from Album "Annihilator"
Can't wait for the new record in the next few months.
Love you Jeff! Just heard crystal ann/alison in hell and dude you are a guitar God!

YES YES Jeff and Dave combined.... hopefully it would lean far towards the older stuff and not be a creation of the newer music. Nothing worse waiting for "it" and then being let down in such a way!!!
Thank the heavens for that decision ... as a result, we received twice as many kick-ass metal albums over the years.
4:07 the Canadian 'sorry' lol
Great story. Love Testament, and always been a huge megadeth fan. Thanks Jeff.
Hahahaha ... Jeff is such a great guy !!!
AMAZING guitarist and funny as f**k !!! I'd love to have been in Annihilator, just to work with, Jeff !!!
Same kinda story with myself and Extreme Noise Terror ... great guys, great band, just wanted to do my thing, so 100% understand Jeff's decision.

how do you get a house like that playing in annihilator.
You sell more than 3 million albums in Europe and Japan.
On one hand, RIP with Jeff would be amazing. On the other, I wouldn't like to live in a world where Never Neverland does not exist!

Yeah; Marty is a god in my world haha. Chris Poland has a very metal-jazz style. Jeff is amazing in his band!
Jeff is a real musician not just a thrash guy like others... His songs speaks it all
@thedddemon whats wrong with Set the World on Fire, have you listened to the guitar work at all on it. Pretty amazing!!!!!!!, Drums was amazing and tasty as well. But you wouldnt know since you did not know that Never, Neverland was the second album.
I was talking about Chris Broderick, but they're all good in their own ways. I absolutly love their lineup now. We can try to compare them to each other, but we must keep in mind Chris Broderick plays a 7 string. Maybe Marty does now though. I agree that Jeff is also amazing in Annihilator. I love them all. Cant wait to see Megadeth live now. Take care.
reminds me to explore the lyrics again :D
Jeff is King!!!!

HOLY FUCK here i am typing annihilator metal.com and seeing jeff talking about mustaine and megadeth, these two bands are my favorite bands of all time this was such a shock to see this.. iv heard dimebag was auditiond and so was loomis.. and i didnt realy care for them.. why ? becuase they never had the DETH sound thats inside jeff ! those technical unobvious chord changes. aw man im is shock and awe here, if mustaine and waters do a song together i might shit my pants its 1 of my dreams.
Allison hell stands up to ANY Megadeth or Metallica song. Even Wake up dead and The Conjuring. Jeff's the man.
why was metallica included in the title when clearly nothing was said about them
God I know and I agree that you should keep things as a band apart but you should do a Collab I will Jizz for the rest of my life you're the two best guitar players I listened to
Ya, I think a Waters/Mustaine song is in order. Come on Dave you're in the studio as we speak. It'll take about 2 hrs.
Dave should do a song with jeff, maybe an album! It will be awesome, much more awesome than doing it with those metallica guys!
Yes, but who's gonna do it? Jeff or Dave? :D
Annihilator - Ambush off their self-titled release that came out in 2010.
It is crediting Mustaine, who was in Metallica. That's why it says Megadeth and Metallica
I'm not sure I got this. Mustaine wanted Jeff to learn and record the B-side of Peace Sells... send the recording to him and if he had liked it, Mustaine might have considered re-recording an Annihilator song???? I don't understand. If Mustaine wanted to record an Annihilator song, why didn't he just ask Jeff "Can I record one of your songs?"? Why should Jeff have had to record a Megadeth song for that?
That is the only question I have in mind as well
anyone know the song thats at the end? TELL ME!
Yea the "Fun Palace" lol
For an underrated band...ya know he has a nice fuckin house

THANKS for the no. Never give up your dreams!
Jeff Waters - A Really SUPER Talented Guy - Killer Lead Playing 🤘🤘
the b side of PC is counjuring ,bad omen, wake up dead and my last words beTs fucking shit ever i wonder why they didnt audition so far so good so what songs ? like into the lungs or the cupcake song (set the word afire) OR the best album of all time KIMB perhaps rattlhead, looking down the cross CHOSEN ONES. man my wet dreams are mustaine doing an oldschool record with metallica (i know i know) and mabe a guitarist reionion record with poland(iknow he's in TSHF), friedman,and young LOVE U ALL
They should make at least one song for either of the bands.
You know, Dave should just stop waiting for an opportunity to record an album with shity Metallica and get in touch with Jeff...
I would love to see Megadeth and Annihilator in the same stage. Maybe Dave and Jeff should do a world tour together (yeah, Annihilator opening of course) and create an album too!!, and I as a fan, will keep kicking Mustaine's forums with the same idea
What's the name of the song at the end of the video?
I think king of the kill or off that CD. im not usre
I think it was Good marty joined Megadeth, BUT once he left in 2000 Jeff should have joined the band, but oh well he was more comfortable doing his own thing.
ambush is the song
Canadians I tell you!! can kill you with kindness XD
jeff and dave ! love from israel
When is no... is no!! but what if...?
Well, he is a smart guy, probably has some investments and I can imagine he paid the whole house, or he ...how do you say it... makes monthly payments for it.
Why is it so weird if a guy like Jeff has a nice house? That's a completely normal thing. And besides - we see only 3 walls of it, I don't think it's overdone like some houses we saw on MTV's Cribs...
Ambush - Annihilator. :)

@thedddemon Instead of having one epic thrash metal, we have two epic thrash metal bands.
It s ambush !
Jeff is irreplaceable as well, his career speaks for itself.
Oh haha, but all very true :) Im upset with Megadeth now; the way they are going :/ Annihilator is keeping it metal though! \m/
Ritz - food of the Gods.
I don't think Jeff and Dave would've made the best team in the long run. Jeff seems extraordinarily healthy for a metal musician who has been working for 30 years, having been sober for the most of it etc, whereas Dave Mustaine went totally nuts with drugs around 1990.
Jeff Waters seems pretty rich !!!

I’m not sure if it would of worked with Dave and Jeff?? Big egos? I also think Jeff is too good for Megadeth...He’s in a whole different world when it comes to Metal....Love both of them though 😎🤘🤘😎
imagine jeff waters with megadeth :D ...sounds good, but i rather jeff waters in ANNIHILATOR \m/
my mom?!
fuck sake
I hope y'all make a song together one day. Just put Dave on vocals. No offense but not the biggest fan of Jeff as the front man. Dudes got balls for stepping up though
Really Jeff has a decent voice king of the kill was jeff and that album is awesome.
i am an atheist but jeff waters is my god !!
if you don't respect Mustaine, your opinion about thrash guitar playing is basically invalid...... that is a fact
He is an egomanic. He should be, he is that good.
Yeah, but their stuff went from talking about conspiracies and government coverups, to talking about bad stuff you shouldnt do :/
I have been rocking the 6 string since the mid 80's myself and in my opinion Jeff is being quite humble here..Jeff far as I am concerned you are a much better player than Dave particularly in the area of lead.
Mustaine could not pull that lead off as you do here...not a chance!
I would not want to see Jeff in megadeth, two big egos clashing :D but a collab song would be nice. Think yo uguys would get a nice song out
I am kind of glad Jeff Waters did not join, or else Marty could not of showed his amazing talent. Jeff Waters is great, but probably not what Dave would be looking for. :)
i honestly thought he made an average amount of money per yer having that united states record companies suck shit. I was wrong.
Waters is too beast! Kill's them all! Haha! Jk

omg jeff is so much a more talented guitarist than dave but i like dave but as far as proffessionalism goes and guitar riffs and everything else guitar wise it has to be jeff
larry conti I AGREE JEFF IS BETTER GUITAR PLAYER TO ME. DAVE IS COOL TOO BUT NO BETTER THAN WATERS
Better riffs than Dave? Lol nobody has better riffs than dave
it's a good thing he never joined megadeth. his talents would never get along with mustaine's attitude.
A. Nilla-or
How do you know what Dave's like outside the public? You don't.
Sorry Jeff, but Marty and Chris are both irreplaceable.
Marty is super overrated, the solo scales are awful it sounds so cringy not thrash at all, Chris Poland on the other hand is amazing.
this guy seems super legit for a metal head. i like him.
I wonder if Jeff was able to buy that nice house just with royalty payments.
