One guy who didn't want to be in Megadeth, one who auditioned for Megadeth and failed due to age and the other who's dream is to be in Megadeth... good mix
Dude, each of these men have exerted a huge influence, and inspiration on me for decades but if there's one band that I am entirely and wholly unable to enjoy it would be ABBA. Alot has to do with negative associations that music can't be separated from, but yeah. I fuckin hate ABBA.
Megadeth in late 80s, Loomis dodged a big drug infused bullet there. A 16 year old would have been very impressionable and kinda glad they didnt let him do the same mistakes.
Its very simple guys. We want a Cacophony tour with Jeff playing in the shoes of Jason and also covering some Perpetual burn songs and some Marty's solo songs as well as the cacophony stuff. And some money should go to Jason as well. MAKE IT DONE!!!!
Daaaaammnnnn... I was at that show in Chicago Loomis is talking about !! SO not only did I meet Marty and Jason, but I was rubbing shoulders with Jeff. sheesh !!
i've watched this interview 4 times and every time i heard the Jeff Loomis - Megadeth story i said to myself that Megadeth lost a huge opportunity when they turned down Jeff. But after thinking of this a few times I came to the conclusion that it really was for the best because Jeff really walked around the pothole of drugs that Megadeth was. Basically keeping Jeff away from drugs.
Carp Tiberiu It really was for the best. Though I do like to imagine how Megadeth would have been with Jeff, or Dimebag, or even Jeff Waters from Annihilator.
You think that's crazy? Imagine if they would have got Criss Oliva from Savatage. Every record would have been untouchable with him. Guy was a monster and probably would have even been a better fit than Marty. Exuded excellence in every way.
+nblax41 Chris Adler is the drummer of Megadeth now lol. Jeff and Chris would have annihilated together. Always thought Willie Adler and Jeff would mesh well too.
I like that they used the title "virtuoso" instead of shredder. That implies that they're actually musicians/artists and not just a track runner running a race with his fingers on the guitar. I love the fast stuff, but if you listen with an open mind to the album "Introduction" by Marty, you'll hear what I'm talking about. I also dig Carcass and Conquering Dystopia. So, this was a fun video. Thanks!
Michael Amott no es un guitarrista tan rápido y veloz como Jeff Loomis y Marty, pero es un guitarrista con un estilo único, y gracias a eso es que Michael es un talentoso gran guitarrista.
Amott seems like a very soft-spoken guy. I feel like Jeff and Michael have complimentary personalities. This collaboration is going to be so sick. I can't wait to see you guys in Germany!
I see people in comments blaming amott... emm guys, maybe he dont do 20 notes per second, but he has a great feeling, maybe the guitarist with more feeling in death metal
Dear audio engineer, next time throw a HPF on the mains to cut the band rehearsing in the background. I thought I was having a brain hemorrhage for a sec.
@@ermguitar2052 Well yeah but it's more important to jeff than it was to marty. He was just some random kid to marty, can't expect him to remember it as some pivotal moment
+VoyagerAbove guys comin up into certain businesses, think they need to be fucked up constantly because those around them are and they perceive their idols to do the same too. it seems like if they can escape that train of thought before they reach 30, they can get away with health longer but most seem to already be perma-fucked by the time they're 30 and start realizing better ways of living. these are just thoughts of course, not conclusions.
Agree about the lack of booze and other drugs, but also Marty lived in Japan for quite a while, where the food is generally healthier and the portion size is better (i.e. much smaller) than in the US. That would have helped probably.
Michael Amott just has that Murtough, Lethal Weapon, "I'm too old for this shit." attitude throughout this interview. It's really cool though, Loomis and Friedman add incredibly detailed accounts and really make the interview feel more informal and casual. Hearing all three of their opinions on Metal and the contemporary scene regarding guitarists is a nice insight too. Plus, I didn't even know that Marty has or had worked with Shining, considering that I've been an immense fan of Jørgen Munkeby's style and playing since I heard his saxophone pieces on Ihshan's After.
I really love their thoughts about playing fast. I am really impressed with how they explained how the speed can never be the basis of being a good guitarist.. Now , I am not pressured to play fast, :)
It truly breaks my heart to watch this video, Ive always loved his voice and understood the darkness of his lyrics ,Your in Metal heaven with all the other greats jamming out RIP
Love everything that Michael & Jeff said. Love them two. Humility & respect is an attribute - Being jealous & cutting down what others love is just pathetic. It is a self reflecting mirror of what you wish you were.
Amott doesnt shred, marty did 20 years ago, Loomis can shred. My highlight was friedman surprised about Loomis playing direct, new school bruh. Props on ammot , always sourounded by better guitar lead players in Arch Enemy, just as Mustaine did, nothing wrong.
I was at the (PINKs Garage) MEGADETH show in Honolulu, saw Marty & Dave walk right passed me, I met Dave in like 2011 in Temecula at the Apple store, I was trying to let him see my guitar 🎸 videos😁 he was like hold on just a min.. Lol
gained so much more respect from Marty after seeing this and everyone else as well, very influential people great compassion for what they do and a seemingly wonderful respect for new artist also
Imagine being with other two guitar gods, followed by thousands... If I were one of them, I would be shitting my pants and thinking "Holy fuck, what else I'll say next that won't tear shit down?" They even tried to break the ice with some jokes and stuff. But honestly, if the atmosphere was already bad, just take a look again at the place for the interview: I think it'd have been better to record this at the bathroom.
lam neth Amott is highly underrated. I wouldn't base judgment on his High speed shred ability or any lack thereof (not saying you're doing that necessarily) but rather on his tonality and composition skills. He is one of the great metal players out there for a lot of reasons.
Matt Adams yea hes a great player, i enjoyed his work in carcass although i much prefer bills leads, but hes in the company of two of the best guitarists in metal
Geezus, imagine if Marty and Jeff were in a band together😳 Two of the most insanely talented guitarists of all time...and thats saying something, Metal music is crammed FULL of incredible guitarists
That's right, it's about the music and how you express yourself not about speed soloing which is cool, but it's about creating those cool memorable riffs 🤘
I agree, the best. Michael said way back he was sick of hearing how great Heartwork was, because he still puts out new stuff, and all anyone can rave about is his old stuff.
Love his work with Carcass! :D And the 1st 3 Arch Enemy albums . . . And Kim, youre into Western Action Films, Video Games AND Metal as well? You need to be friendly to your own people and your neighbors and bring metal to the people :p.

After a few years, jeff loomis was asked to join Megadeth, but this time he didn't want to be in Megadeth:)
Megadeth in late 80s, Loomis dodged a big drug infused bullet there. A 16 year old would have been very impressionable and kinda glad they didnt let him do the same mistakes.
¿Marty being 52 years old?
This guy never ages.
***** he's gotten that Japanese never aging thing goin for him
Wow! Thank you, Jeff!! :o
Nick you are an amazing guitar player, you are now one of my favorite guitar players, and I know about just you two weeks ago.
Nick Johnston I looked you up on facebook after watching this interview ! You're a great guitar player man ! Keep it up !
Awesome video!!!
Wow..Didn't expect Rob to show up :D
Fancy seeing you here, Rob
Rob Chapman It's Rob!
HI ROB
+Rob Chapman the legend himself!
They can shred but... they can also do a Maybelline commercial.
Loomis, looks like a young Hetfield here especially from a distance
yea he is.when you look side of it xD
First thing I've noticed lmao
Ryan Day92 he sometimes looks like a middle age Jeff hanneman too
@@dadiopimp and Chris Broderick too
His face reminds me of the Leprechaun movies lol
Its very simple guys. We want a Cacophony tour with Jeff playing in the shoes of Jason and also covering some Perpetual burn songs and some Marty's solo songs as well as the cacophony stuff. And some money should go to Jason as well. MAKE IT DONE!!!!
irmasil3 Great Idea! Now if we can only convince Marty and Jeff!
You might as well ask Marty to play Megadeth songs lmao
Dude yes!
Highly Recommened Petrucci Cooley
PLEASE!!!
I love when the people being interviewed are just left to talk and not be interrupted by the interviewer. Well done Amit!
Daaaaammnnnn... I was at that show in Chicago Loomis is talking about !! SO not only did I meet Marty and Jason, but I was rubbing shoulders with Jeff. sheesh !!
really ? that`s awesome
What jason Becker was there?
38:48 Michael is peering straight into your soul!
i've watched this interview 4 times and every time i heard the Jeff Loomis - Megadeth story i said to myself that Megadeth lost a huge opportunity when they turned down Jeff. But after thinking of this a few times I came to the conclusion that it really was for the best because Jeff really walked around the pothole of drugs that Megadeth was. Basically keeping Jeff away from drugs.
Carp Tiberiu It really was for the best. Though I do like to imagine how Megadeth would have been with Jeff, or Dimebag, or even Jeff Waters from Annihilator.
Carp Tiberiu when Marty started they had slowed down
They got Marty, that's enough
Loomis is too good for megadeth, so is kiko and broderick.
You think that's crazy? Imagine if they would have got Criss Oliva from Savatage. Every record would have been untouchable with him. Guy was a monster and probably would have even been a better fit than Marty. Exuded excellence in every way.
By the end of August, I will have seen all 3 perform live. Can't wait.
Marty looks the same as he did in the early 1990s good to see !!!!!!!
8:11 to 8:22 , Amott is tripping balls
Burned Priest hahahahahaha fuckkk
I believed Marty knew all those things about Jeff lol
marty you sly curly headed bastard
😂
1:31 marty asking jeff "you auditioned for megadeth?" hahaha his facial reaction tho
+patrick cruz I was surprised by that too. Wonder if he knows Jeff turned them down a few years back too.
+patrick cruz Jeff loomis got the audition for megadeth when he was 16 y.o. Holyshit...
+nblax41 Chris Adler is the drummer of Megadeth now lol. Jeff and Chris would have annihilated together. Always thought Willie Adler and Jeff would mesh well too.
+Gregory Aliano not as much as marty and nick though!
+nblax41 Jeff was about to write/record his solo record thats what he said
Mike Amott doesn't get enough props for having some of the best sounding vibrato ever
100% Agree ! His intonation is amazing !
Very melodic as well.
Hats off to Amott, "Neil Young, natural expression." Embraces ALL, period. Gotta respect it.
I like that they used the title "virtuoso" instead of shredder. That implies that they're actually musicians/artists and not just a track runner running a race with his fingers on the guitar.

Jeff looks so stoked to be in the same room with Marty Friedman
lol @ Amott at 26:00. He's like, "Who the hell is Marty even talking about?"
Me too.
That's fucking hilarious.
Ahahahahhaha XD
Amott seems like a very soft-spoken guy. I feel like Jeff and Michael have complimentary personalities. This collaboration is going to be so sick. I can't wait to see you guys in Germany!
It´s the Charlie´s Angels of guitar playing:)
See martys face change when michael brought up perpetual burn and Jason becker.
Could you explain what happened? Why did his face change
Arshad A Jason has ALS and now he can't even move a finger...Fucking shame because he's probably one of the best guitarists that ever lived.
Marty Friedman is like master jedi!
Yoda he is
It’s Jedi Master
I see people in comments blaming amott... emm guys, maybe he dont do 20 notes per second, but he has a great feeling, maybe the guitarist with more feeling in death metal
Absolutely. Very melodic. And those vibrato bends of his!...
Dear audio engineer, next time throw a HPF on the mains to cut the band rehearsing in the background. I thought I was having a brain hemorrhage for a sec.
I was searching for this comment. Lol
@@mateogutierrezsalinas1831 im so high and felt like i was gonna die cus of it
Jeff, you're the melting faces shredder
Skyharbor/Keshav Dhar mentioned at 26:00 :D
1:31 Now Kiko Loureiro Is In. Proud to Brazil!
That was so great!! Huge fan of all 3 of them. A long-form interview like this with 3 guitar gods is a dream come true.
What a great interview. I always marvel at how universal music is and how it brings such diverse players together.
Awkward how Marty doesn't remember anything Jeff tells him lol.
Peter Sorensen Guitar yeah it's so awkward that Marty doesn't remember a conversation he had one night 30+ years ago
Daniel Johnstone i can’t even remember what I ate yesterday
Hahahahaha
That's gotta sting.
@@ermguitar2052 Well yeah but it's more important to jeff than it was to marty. He was just some random kid to marty, can't expect him to remember it as some pivotal moment
Marty is the oldest guy there by like 6 years. Why does he look a decade younger than everyone else?
+VoyagerAbove guys comin up into certain businesses, think they need to be fucked up constantly because those around them are and they perceive their idols to do the same too. it seems like if they can escape that train of thought before they reach 30, they can get away with health longer but most seem to already be perma-fucked by the time they're 30 and start realizing better ways of living. these are just thoughts of course, not conclusions.
Agree about the lack of booze and other drugs, but also Marty lived in Japan for quite a while, where the food is generally healthier and the portion size is better (i.e. much smaller) than in the US. That would have helped probably.
Plastic surgery
5’6” tall
Japanese skin care and food and probably an overall better lifestyle
Michael Amott just has that Murtough, Lethal Weapon, "I'm too old for this shit." attitude throughout this interview. It's really cool though, Loomis and Friedman add incredibly detailed accounts and really make the interview feel more informal and casual. Hearing all three of their opinions on Metal and the contemporary scene regarding guitarists is a nice insight too. Plus, I didn't even know that Marty has or had worked with Shining, considering that I've been an immense fan of Jørgen Munkeby's style and playing since I heard his saxophone pieces on Ihshan's After.
Every young musician should watch this. Wise words from wise men.
Such humble dudes.. If I ever make it to their status, I can only hope to obtain a *shred* of their enlightenment!
I really love their thoughts about playing fast. I am really impressed with how they explained how the speed can never be the basis of being a good guitarist.. Now , I am not pressured to play fast, :)
Yeah... Please...
It truly breaks my heart to watch this video, Ive always loved his voice and understood the darkness of his lyrics ,Your in Metal heaven with all the other greats jamming out RIP
Great interview, LUV these guys. Hats off to Amott for his kudos towards and not just Neil Young, gotta respect that.
What a great interview, lots of wisdom and insights on the music!
Jeff looks like James Hetfield young.
Love everything that Michael & Jeff said. Love them two. Humility & respect is an attribute - Being jealous & cutting down what others love is just pathetic. It is a self reflecting mirror of what you wish you were.
I really enjoy this interview Marty's answers are for me, very interesting, thanx total guitar!!
What is that fucking vibrational noise around 12:00? Sounds awful.
And nice to hear Marty give props to Republica. I loved that band.
yeah sounded like a bad trip
A Shining soundcheck
traxan650 i thought aliens were literally invading at that moment!! for that weird sound!
sLasher Rihan No they're here! Outside my house now, oh shit!!
hahaha!! invite them to ur place for some beer then! lol arrestedshrimp
Amott doesnt shred, marty did 20 years ago, Loomis can shred.
My highlight was friedman surprised about Loomis playing direct, new school bruh.
Props on ammot , always sourounded by better guitar lead players in Arch Enemy, just as Mustaine did, nothing wrong.
I wish I could hang out with guy's for just a day, These type of musicians are my favorite.
I was at the (PINKs Garage) MEGADETH show in Honolulu, saw Marty & Dave walk right passed me, I met Dave in like 2011 in Temecula at the Apple store, I was trying to let him see my guitar 🎸 videos😁 he was like hold on just a min.. Lol
I see two players of arch enemy here and the king of modern japan. Awesome vid
gained so much more respect from Marty after seeing this and everyone else as well, very influential people great compassion for what they do and a seemingly wonderful respect for new artist also
met all 3 of em, such cool guys and so talented
Great interview with three great musicians !
it's a weird atmosphere,they all seem uncomfortable.
Imagine being with other two guitar gods, followed by thousands... If I were one of them, I would be shitting my pants and thinking "Holy fuck, what else I'll say next that won't tear shit down?"
They even tried to break the ice with some jokes and stuff. But honestly, if the atmosphere was already bad, just take a look again at the place for the interview: I think it'd have been better to record this at the bathroom.
I only planned on skimming through this, but I watched it all. This was fantastic!
3 incredible guitarist... Absolute MOST RESPECT ✊ 🤘
3 beasts!!
amott much less so than the others tbh
Personaly amott is my favorite. Just cool to see them chill I guess.
lam neth Amott is highly underrated. I wouldn't base judgment on his High speed shred ability or any lack thereof (not saying you're doing that necessarily) but rather on his tonality and composition skills. He is one of the great metal players out there for a lot of reasons.

yea hes a great player, i enjoyed his work in carcass although i much prefer bills leads, but hes in the company of two of the best guitarists in metal
Devin Mccallum not sure what gave you the impression i wasnt calm but ok
damn,, it's very rare to see 3 virtuosos chill out together in interview and share their each other thoughts, really
Amott with a Sodom pin on his shirt!?!? \m/-_-\m/
thumbs up for skyharbor!!
The guys are pretty calm considering they can clearly hear there is a T-rex walking around in the next room
3 lovely people with outstanding talent.......Marty is my icon
Wait. Where's the table?
Singing in Metallica.
Damien Thornes James is the Table!
Dante Rayner I AM THE TABLE
Thank god!! I thought you were gone....
Val Rayner Jeff Loomis looks a bit like Hetfield. so he is the table we have now
wow, im glad i stumbled across this. great interview, great guys. marty has always been the man.
Geezus, imagine if Marty and Jeff were in a band together😳 Two of the most insanely talented guitarists of all time...and thats saying something, Metal music is crammed FULL of incredible guitarists
This interview is a "little" awkward". Jeff Loomis humble as always!
";-)
This is the most revealing interview I have ever seen. True professionals telling it like it is.
This interview was wonderful thanks!
am I the only one who thinks that Jeff looks like a blonde Chris Broderick
LMFFFFFFFFAO
I honestly thought they were the same person for a long time 😂
NOO...LMAO
They are twins.
This is a really lengthy and open interview. Enjoyed this a lot.
I just love the honesty and how clever marty friedman is.
All these three have a lot of Sageness! Great Musicians!
That's right, it's about the music and how you express yourself not about speed soloing which is cool, but it's about creating those cool memorable riffs 🤘
Excellent interview, I totally agree with practicing guitar for a purpose.
Unbelievable that Marty is already 53 on this video. He does not seem to age.
Marty: Once you play three years anyone can play fast. Ha! I wish that were true.
Olivia Edwards some can if u want to play 6 hours a day
Olivia Edwards it is true. If you practice 4 hours a day, and you have a good practice routine.
I wish I had Marty's hair
His photo on the Rust in Peace album is epic. So is Mustaine's. Megadeth had great hair....lol
Wig?
Umm, where was the round table?
Michael would hate to hear this, but Heartwork was an unforgettable masterpiece.
+capoman1 Heartwork was the best Carcass album. Why would he hate to hear that?
I agree, the best. Michael said way back he was sick of hearing how great Heartwork was, because he still puts out new stuff, and all anyone can rave about is his old stuff.
Few last Arch Enemy albums was so boring...always ended up listening to Heartwork again..lol😂
3 cool humble dudes in 1 camera.. classic!!
People hating Michael either are South Korean or haven't heard his songs
I love his work with Carnage.
Love his work with Carcass! :D And the 1st 3 Arch Enemy albums . . . And Kim, youre into Western Action Films, Video Games AND Metal as well? You need to be friendly to your own people and your neighbors and bring metal to the people :p.
36:00
Marty shows pure class..
Don't ever put anybody down...
Musicians don't hate each other
Watching this for the first time, I'm wondering if they'll mention carcass.
great interview
Wow, i know that Jeff Loomis auditioned to Megadeth and Marty didn't know...
G. Reis Even worse that Loomis recommended Marty for going to the Megadeth audition
@@Metaltuerke not true bro. Go watch an interview. Marty said Jeff didnt tip anything off about the audition to Marty
@@D-Khalid alright. Luv u ❤️❤️❤️

Jeff sounds like JP when talking. lol
This is so freakin' cool. Thanks total guitar!
Wow. 3 of my favorite guitarists all together... only Andy La Rocque missing. :-) and a few others... Great video.
I'm 27 and the older i get the less i find shredding interesting. Unless it complements a song, dont do it. "it" being any musical idea/section. That's how i feel now days.
At the end of the day it's not about you, its about the song.
WhyMeWhyYou22 Thats why a lot of people like Micheal's playing. He's not a technical player, but rather he focuses on the individual notes and showing why they matter which isn't always easy.
+WhyMeWhyYou22 that's why Ac/dc is popular simplicity is sometimes better!
What is the Japanese band/project they talk about at the very beginning? Sounds exciting !
36:00 More people need to listen to this
Where's part 2, 3, 4 , - 213432 and so on?.. I love this kind of stuff!
the mic feedback is deafening at times ...wha...wah wah...wha...wha wha around 13:00 mark. thanks for posting this awesome interview
