Megadeth's soundcheck in Birmingham, England where the band plays a bit of Lucretia (October 13th, 1990). More footage from the same soundcheck: • Megadeth - Five magics...
I agree. Dave, Junior, Marty, and Nick was indeed the golden age for Megadeth. Shit, those four made Rust In Peace, their best album IMO. But you have to admit, this lineup in 2020 is pretty damn good. Kiko and Dirk fit right in. MEGADETH FOREVER!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I think the killing and peace sells era is amazing as well. But I did the exact thing with the guitars! Got the Jackson V. Marty and Dave just look so signature on stage with those Jacksons
I think the question is what's wrong with everyone else's hand? Clearly Marty is playing the right way and all the rest of us are playing wrong. Marty is legendary.
Marshall stacks with a Marshall preamp rack unit and old Jackson guitars (pre fender) is the tone. I can't tell if Dave is using a Duncan jb or stock Jackson pickup in the bridge but he does have a bill lawrence l500xl in the neck
RIP Nick Menza. A giant personality behind the kit... The black 'MEGADETH' guitar that became the silver guitar on Countdown. I remember when that was auctioned off... If only I had 30 grand.
Nick recorded my band back in 2010 at his house in his home studio I think in Burbank.., his son was literally crawling on the mixing desk lol it was a real chill guy. I spent about an hour in his drum room which didn't even have any kids set up they were all in different massive drawers. I think I counted just under 50 full drum kits. I was one of half a million people that told him that rest in peace made me want to start playing. It was definitely not the first time he had heard it. I was playing bass on that recording for that band. We never released it. We did that a lot
JohnnyV Val what? Hahaahaha just go fuck your self everyone is seeing the monster ellefson was and comenting, i mention it in a funny way but theres always that virgin guy like you
I was there Birmingham N.E.C arena UK it was Clash of the Titans Tour,absolutely Outstanding show Megadeth / Slayer / Anthrax / Testament / Suicidal Tendencies damn the decades just fly I was only 21 I'm now 49 year's old Metalhead to the grave Bang your head til it bleeds Rattlehead! 🤔 🤙👍🤘☺
Darn! I thought Jr was gonna start playing "Dawn Patrol" 3:11. I wish they played it more often live. It would sound perfect as an intro to tornado of souls or polaris.
I was at this gig as a mullet haired 10 year old Brummie with my brother and my old man and it really was an awesome night with chairs and all sorts being thrown into the mosh pit.
I was there as a 13 year old. My mum took me and we were at the back of the mosh pit. Don't remember any chairs being thrown. This was the NEC right? How many nights did they play there? Alice in Chains were support.
I caught them on tour in the late 80s. For one song Dave played a chrome Flying V. It was dark in a fairly small venue and they put a spotlight on Dave and the light reflected off the chome guitar like a spotlight itself, the reflected beam of light shining every which way as the guitar moved as he played the song. Great experience for my teenage self.
Just realised it was the Apollo gig I went to, with Alice In Chains supporting - thought it was the same leg of that tour, sorry. So we were both there lol. Cheers
I love Dave’s rhythm tone very tight and crunchy. Stock Marshall with a bogner preamp rack unit and Jackson king v with a stock Jackson pickup I believe
AWESOME video!!!! Dude the audio from that camera is WAAAAY better than most of todays consumer cams. The stereo separation is unbelievable. Thanx for this post. shotgunn
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW LOVE YOU GUYS TILL THE END OF TIME!!!!! Just magnificent musicians that are so down to earth.........or.........if they weren't then they sure are now.......SUPERB!
It is amazing what people on the internet can provide for one another. Which makes me wonder what happened to all the old posts Megadeth did back in 1997 on their official website.
These guys are the reason why i bought jackson guitars. this lineup is the golden age of megadeth
Chris Poland put MEGADEATH on the map as musical juggernauts not ur average thrash band.
But I love all of Dave's lead guitarists over the years
I agree. Dave, Junior, Marty, and Nick was indeed the golden age for Megadeth. Shit, those four made Rust In Peace, their best album IMO. But you have to admit, this lineup in 2020 is pretty damn good. Kiko and Dirk fit right in. MEGADETH FOREVER!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Same goes to me 👍

Firedman plays so fucking well you can't never say when is he improvising or playing a real song...fuck!
Like all Masters, he makes it look easy!
Did you just make a sneaky joke with his name or is it just mispelling?
@@javiergutierrez4733 LMAO it was misspell but I see why you'd think otherwise
@@Peashant2142 bro tf 12 year old comment yet you still replied hahhaahha
@@clavicol6875 damn!
David Ellefson: Don't mind me, just casually tapping
He was actually playing the little solo from "take no prisoners"
Q
This aged very well
I love Nick's drum kit sound. So much punch. RIP :'(
Drum kit is nice and all, but those sweet sounds are probably mostly derived from his killer playing.
Phenomenal drummer!!
@@jonatanhedlin3992He’s a jazz drummer, it mixes in perfectly
That's the way drums should sound great drummer miss Nick
THE LINE UP!!!
+Shinra Kazuya it really is the best lineup but lets see what the new guitarist has to bring to the table hes pretty good
Hell YES!!!
Yep... probably the best, although the current line up is up there too.
@@90lxfox3 kiko is a beast, listen those hybrid picking
2:11-2:15 - these few seconds show Marty's real genius. He is a natural born lead guitarist.
I think the question is what's wrong with everyone else's hand? Clearly Marty is playing the right way and all the rest of us are playing wrong. Marty is legendary.
14 years and this still holds true 🤣
Amazing comment !
Marty is as good as the band he plays in
@@goosefukulardeath7300fucking legendary and top of the top?
Wow that Marty's lick at 2:12 is genius.
Same thought here.
God, I love the bassline in Lucretia. It's like a complete song of it's own. Ellefson
Still the best line up, best chemistry, best period.
Beste Megadeth line up to date:
Dave Mustaine
Marty Friedman
David Ellefson
Nick Menza
Kiko is AMAZING!
Of course
Holy crap, he is the mr obvious
2nd best lineup: Mustaine, Poland, Ellefson, Samuelson.
Tied for best.
david ellefson is underrated.
+The Chratheostic he's one of the best bassists of all times!
+Julien Verveer he always does sound great and he's mixed properly on the albums (unlike bassists from some other bands ;))
+vibonacci And he makes it a much easier job due to how evenly he plays
fuck is this comment how long ago i first watched this video? shit i'm getting old.
ELLEFSON IS GOD!!!!
Marty's technique was razor fucking sharp here
Holy shit. The way Marty picks...
3:48 The greatest guitar tone of all time.
Wish they make an entirely new song with that riff aside from lucretia.
@@dannelleabajar4703is that from Lucretia? That sound different
@@ConanObrien22it is from Lucretia, played slower and heavier in this vid.
in 1:48 is a birth of Ashes In Your Mouth
the first version
1:15 It's a kind of Addicted to Chaos.
3:30 Turn Down for What-Nick Menza
Underatted comment
Marty, just too good. Too too good.
He is awesome. Just like your pic🙋♂️😜
@@gtrriffs great move, guy.
@@gtrriffs the super simp is here ma friends
4:40 sounds so jazzy and salsa-ish if that makes any sense, the way the hi hat comes in after that first breakdown 👌🏼🔥🔥🔥Nick Menza was so special man
I always love to see professional band sound check...because sometimes they play a full song better than the concert it self...
RIP NICK MENZA
A MUSICAL GENIUS
R.I.P, Nick Menza. Gone, but never forgotten.
I miss that line up so much!
Dave's vocals were vicious back then!
Agreed he had a great voice during the 90s too bad in the lives you can hardly here it because the instruments are so loud
Amazing Guitars tunes
and amazing guitar tones!
Marshall stacks with a Marshall preamp rack unit and old Jackson guitars (pre fender) is the tone. I can't tell if Dave is using a Duncan jb or stock Jackson pickup in the bridge but he does have a bill lawrence l500xl in the neck

David Grohl before he became The David Grohl.
insert David ellefson is underated coment here--------->
You 1 of those guys that nobody ever reads or answers your lame comments. So you put crap like that up "fishing for comment" truly SAD
JohnnyV Val what? Hahaahaha just go fuck your self everyone is seeing the monster ellefson was and comenting, i mention it in a funny way but theres always that virgin guy like you
@@johnnyvval4719 wow you're stupid
1:43 that tone
Unfortunately I only have 3/9 parts... would love to get my hands on the rest some day.
Martys rythm tone is so godlike. And this is like the one of the only two clips of him playing five magics.
RIP Nick. Will always be missed 😢
I was there Birmingham N.E.C arena UK it was Clash of the Titans Tour,absolutely Outstanding show Megadeth / Slayer / Anthrax / Testament / Suicidal Tendencies damn the decades just fly I was only 21 I'm now 49 year's old Metalhead to the grave Bang your head til it bleeds Rattlehead! 🤔 🤙👍🤘☺
i was there too, anthax didnt play on this tour in the uk.
Hell yes I was there, 45 years old now, hell of a gig but sorry Anthrax weren't there, they didn't do the European leg of the tour..... 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was there as well it was an awesome gig
This whole soundcheck could be a song, it's incredible!!
6:30 the way he says hey reminds me of James mocking Kirk when he said “fighting” when they were practicing Seek & Destroy.
Nick with a Misfits T-shirt, cool.
Do you know what band the t-shirt that Dave Ellefson had was from?
Check out Marty's right hand gallop at 1:50 ... jaw dropping!!
Its a normal galloping lol
Motter 6667 yea lmao I can do that I’m a drummer who fucks around with his band mates guitars.
@@gbirdo4718 but can play like Marty.
We guitar players gallop all time
Darn! I thought Jr was gonna start playing "Dawn Patrol" 3:11. I wish they played it more often live. It would sound perfect as an intro to tornado of souls or polaris.
6:30 "and your friends all say dave your mental anyway " ... "hey." "dundendunle"
such a giant line up. there's nothing like the touch of Marty
This is the best line up! Not just of MD but of all the thrash bands at that time!
The best era of Megadeth caught on tape!!
It's scary how good they are.
Best megadeth lineup in my opinion. I respect all musicians who has played with megadeth, but I would like to see the old crew play again.
they have the best live sound ever.
daves bass si so great through my headphones. fucking amazing.
Mustaine is incredible...his riffs are intricate as hell! \m/
I was at this gig as a mullet haired 10 year old Brummie with my brother and my old man and it really was an awesome night with chairs and all sorts being thrown into the mosh pit.
I was there as a 13 year old. My mum took me and we were at the back of the mosh pit. Don't remember any chairs being thrown. This was the NEC right? How many nights did they play there? Alice in Chains were support.
This lineup was Truly Amazing. At the peak of their prime ❤
Wow watching Marty play makes me feel so discouraged to continue playing guitar.
IT should encourage you to play better.
Watching Dave play and sing at the same time should’ve discouraged you lmao
I went to this concert as a 13yro. My mum took me and we were at the back of the mosh pit. Great gig. Alice in Chains was one of the supports.
Menza never stops, even playing in bed.As Dave said at the end of Paranoid;"Nick.. Nick.. Niiick" RIP
Fuck me runnin!
Ya that always irritated me. Dave yelling at nick
0:16 - Ready?...
0:18 - Set?!...
0:20- GOOOO!!!
I love how Marty totally kicks on like super speed there.
I find it facinating that I enjoy watching soundcheck videos.
I got to see them play in a really small old theatre - we were about 10 feet back from the front… it was something i will always remember
I caught them on tour in the late 80s. For one song Dave played a chrome Flying V. It was dark in a fairly small venue and they put a spotlight on Dave and the light reflected off the chome guitar like a spotlight itself, the reflected beam of light shining every which way as the guitar moved as he played the song.

ellefson is hilarious at the end..."dave your mental anyway, hey"
Yamaha drums are one of the most underrated drums in the metal scene. This sound is over the top for playing thrash metal
The megadeth's golden epoch...
I went to the Manchester gig of this tour. It was amazing. Great to be reminded, thanks
I went to the Apollo gig slightly later in March '91. Can't believe it was so long ago.
Just realised it was the Apollo gig I went to, with Alice In Chains supporting - thought it was the same leg of that tour, sorry. So we were both there lol. Cheers
I love Dave’s rhythm tone very tight and crunchy. Stock Marshall with a bogner preamp rack unit and Jackson king v with a stock Jackson pickup I believe
Love these guys!
AWESOME video!!!! Dude the audio from that camera is WAAAAY better than most of todays consumer cams. The stereo separation is unbelievable. Thanx for this post.

"the bassist" hes a very well respected bass player in the metal scene. You should know who Dave Ellefson is.
Very cool and those Jackson guitars just rock. ♥️🤘
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW LOVE YOU GUYS TILL THE END OF TIME!!!!! Just magnificent musicians that are so down to earth.........or.........if they weren't then they sure are now.......SUPERB!
Pure awesomeness.
Thanks Disposabledeth! This is awesome! Haha, David Ellefson is so cool. "HEY!"
Love it
Awesome video!
LOL David Ellefson at the end!!
dam' it, man; this kind of footage was so hard to get during the 80s and 90s; bloody Hel....cool stuff.
awesome video!
this is gold
Must be one of the BEST music videos on the platform ..!
marty always played like that, for some reason he holds his pick in that weird way everytime he solos/shreds and plays chords normally.
marty is the happiest guy on earth
really nice post!
Wonderful sound checking.
Ellefson's bass tickles me in a naughty place and he told me he's glad he get to tickle me. Yes, my life was made that day.
Gets*
The fuck.
I spoke to him, thats how part of the conversation went.
Shahd Al Abdullah oh now i see
Gave u tha jimmies or what?
"Lean and hungry."
General Maximus
Tear😥 Nothing that's so perfect can last forever!!! I miss these days and Line-up!!!🤘☢️🤘
Great stuff.
0:42-0:53 what a cool beat
Its really cool seeing them play stuff from countdown long before it was realesed.
Badass footage
It is amazing what people on the internet can provide for one another. Which makes me wonder what happened to all the old posts Megadeth did back in 1997 on their official website.
Hands down, the best iteration of this band!
1:53 that left hand movement tho and that Gallop
what is this song??
@@thaflowman1 idk
lol this is the best Megadeth line up. RIP Menza
3:06 Ellefson plays the bass fill from Hook in Mouth.
3:15 Nick plays in my darkest hour as well...
ha ha playing catch and megadeth live in the background
PRICELESS!!
Looking at Mustaine’s arm at 4:56 you’ll notice how really he feels playing guitar, moving at the rhythm of those fast riffs.
Dave has the best right hand in thrash if you look past just how fast you can downpick shit
Name of the song?
@@miktamis175Lucretia
Crazy rhythms!!
Went to this gig at the NEC ! Great day’s 👍
@NotoriousYeshi thanks apreciate the time you put to tell me
THRASH FOR LIFE
18 people accidentally hit the dislike button. Honest mistake.
Next mistake, no more mistakes
Lol, metallica fans left! MEGADETH RULES!!!🤘🤘🤘
@RFB480 Will do. Thank you for the advice!
That was the first time I saw megadeth in 1990...with slayer. Anthrax and Alice in chains....damn good concert!!!!....
I can't even fathom that show with so much talent haha 😎
That great Scatherwood thank you, I'll look them up.
Marty is heaven sent!!!
Amaizing
