My mind is fucking blown to shreds. I can't believe how solid his technique is- and I've been seeing them live since 86'. Must have well over a dozen ticket stubs with them on the bill.
Of course they're Guitar Center employees. Really aren't much of a help and never seem happy or enthusiastic about music, yet alone know what they're actually talking about.
I worked at guitar center for a short while and they hated it when I would grab a v off the wall and start playing thrash riffs. They would say "but can you play hendrix or nirvana" my response was always "why the fuck would I want to play that shit".
Junior is such a genuine person. So glad he rejoined the band. Also my favorite drummer Mr. Menza was still alive when this was recorded. I really wish I could’ve got to meet him.
dunno way back in the heavy use period, but meet dave a couple times on the basstory shows and is one laid back dude and talks with you for a bit overall nice guy after all this covid crap is over hope I get to see him and Frank on tour 🤘
I'm confused now. Kiko Loureio says that this riff isn't downpicked (it's both alternate and down he says) but here David Ellefson plays all downpicking. Help!
I saw that video of Kiko, the riff is all downpicked according to Mustaine, but Kiko likes to play it half downpicked half alternate, he joked about doing it when Dave isn't looking haha xD
Those GC employees seem a bit jealous of david haha, maybe they too were in a band once, but that more than likely flopped so they're stuck selling cheap guitars hating on everbody else living in their own self pity.
Ummm. Check your research there bud many times David rips it almost as much as the others. Check other metal bands like death, he may be following the guitar but God is there a lot of speed and agility to get through that. Also take in how much thicker and heavier the bass is, also the frets size and etc.
@@Mcrclerk its thicker and heavier because he uses a pick. The riff he is playing in this particular song during the solo is cake. Every bass player I ever played with were failed ex guitar players who gave up the instrument.
@@robroblox8844 not all bassist use a pick. Geddy Lee (I know he isn't metal) but he keeps up if not outshines the guitar, Les Claypool from Primus, in blind illusions the sane asylum, is a metal band and les keeps up and puts a funky twist. Not all bassist are root note keepers.
@@robroblox8844 thats true a lot of the time in metal, but bass can be as simple or as technical as you want it to be. It is its own instrument and the assumption that all bass players are failed guitarists has always been very irritating to me. I know thats not what you said but a lot of people (especially people who dont even play anything) have this opinion
It's amazing watching seasoned performers, especially when they're playing with other seasoned musicians, because they're so ready to play anything on the fly, and still be 100% in the pocket, even if they've never played with each other before. ..he's playing with the recording here, but it's the same thing. no skips, no pauses to jump in, no flubs, just lays it down right on top.
My first concert as well. Probably what ruined my hearing, haha. Megadeth with the low tones, and Dio with the high tones (like during the keyboard solo). I think it was around Feb 88 in Las Vegas.
Hahaha typical salty Guitar Center employees. Upstaged by a real "Mega" star. They're little licks, fills, and local band status hubris is Null and Void!!!!
@@Jakevoss96 you're entitled to your opinion. I have not had good experiences there. The people that work here where I live ..are assholes. Nobody goes there. Just being 💯 with you.
I think he's worried about sth else or this doesn't do anything to him after listening to the damn song hundreds and thousands of times or maybe you're right
@@nisinduperera7130 like come on, I'm sure if I wasn't a metalhead I'd still bob my head hard enough than be still like these employees. Maybe it's good we don't have Guitar Center in India.
saw megadeth live in uk 95.... the music was note perfect, i didnt hear one fluff note which is very unusual for live bands.... i kinda wish they could have improvised a few bits just to switch it up and make it a more unique concert, but playing that fast theres not much room to play i suppose.... great gig...pantera supporting with dimebag... an yas he was also superb
I've heard the isolated tracks (drum and bass) and Dave Ellefson's playing there is Stellar, so clean and precise, definitely keeps the band together sonically, RIP Mr. Nick Menza, who also played his ass off, such a great line up :).
That moment when you think you have this song figured out, only to figure out Ellefson does downpicking in the verse. What a sucker punch to the pride.
@@adityapai4613 I know! Shawn had no soul to play. I think Dirk plays great, and he really seems to be enjoying it, I saw this MegadetH live and the sound better than in 10 or more years
I know i'm gonna piss everyone off..but he is better than Cliff Burton.. Dave Ellefson is way underrated... just watch and listen to his Riffs and the stuff he plays...

Did your cat walk out midway through the set looking unimpressed? Mine did, he even went downstairs and asked for his money back
@@restojon1 our cats must have been at the same show haha
These in-store appearances are awesome but also awkward as hell. If I were Dave I'd demand stage lighting and booze for everyone in the crowd. ;)
LOL like my cooment
Omg lol, right? The crowd was like 😐
I guess this showed up on everyone's recomendation
Dont forget lazers and a fog machine
He is clean and sober
I was there. Got to talk with him a bit afterwards and he signed a shirt for me. Great guy; really fucking nice.
I’m here to say fuck you to the people that will say “this aged like milk.”

Fans or not they should be sacrificed or fired for being sooo fing lame

Same, I don’t even play bass
4:44 When you really need to pee but David Fucking Ellefson is playing Tornado of Souls right in front of you
No. Tornado of Souls is getting her wet, really.
right now. .I'm bursting.
Haven’t listened to the song in weeks. I forgot how badass Dave’s voice was on this song.
Well somebody has to think so
His voice is actually bad as ass
@@peachpie7849 try again

@@morteparla6926 That's the problem when you hate any job that means a passion for others.
my bro got a bass, they put a battery backwards and said okay, we left, plugged it in, bass ruined, we got refunded tho.
LMAO look at those employees
i think Dave is too scary for them with all his talent xD
Piirakka Liisa fuck yeah
DAVE IS SUCH A NICE GUY !! WE LOVE YOU DAVE !
Tornado of souls is my fav Megadeth song!
I met Dave a few years ago. He’s a hell of a nice guy
Jr. Nailed it as Usual.
This comment made me wake up my mom. This is one loud basement.
He’s nailing everything nowadays. Young girls, his coffin.
All jokes aside I love Junior and wish he was still in Megadeth.
I always admired the way David operated his bass and how it added so much colour to Megadeth's music.
Glad this finally showed itself on my reccomended, way too late though I shop at that GC :'(
I just dig that very metal looking bass guitar. Very cool and awesome \m/
Employees are Lars' paid actors.
Lol they get orders to earphone "try to look even more bored"
Dave Ellefson is standing 3 feet away from the crowd. Crowd just stares at their phones! :P
Really! It would be hard for me to contain myself from throwing chairs.... People around... Starting with the emps in the background!!!
Bass line looks epic
David Ellefson is great !!! 🤟
Junior is such a genuine person. So glad he rejoined the band. Also my favorite drummer Mr. Menza was still alive when this was recorded. I really wish I could’ve got to meet him.
One of the mellowest chaps in Metal. 👍
What a bass master 🎸🤘❤️
just pure metal

overall nice guy
after all this covid crap is over hope I get to see him and Frank on tour 🤘
Last time I saw Megadeth was on the United Abomination tour they had. In This moment open for them. At the 9:30 Club in D.C
Great show
Anyone noticed how high the action is? Strings seem way up!
Obviously a guitar at the Guitar Center - their guitars are never set up right
@@BorisRDeyanov That's his bass.
Self-Righteous Asshole they literally have the same bass on sale behind him
@@BorisRDeyanov guitars are set up for the user boy... none of the guitars in a show room are set up as they should.

kiko says it sounds too mechanical with only downpicking
Kiko is a p o s
And David E
En ese momento David todavia no habia vuelto a Megadeth, asique tocaba en cualquier lado
No es así, David volvió a Megadeth el año 2010, y este video es de 2013.
Those GC employees seem a bit jealous of david haha, maybe they too were in a band once, but that more than likely flopped so they're stuck selling cheap guitars hating on everbody else living in their own self pity.
Bruh the employes look so sad if i was working there i would be watching and headbanging
La rubia que estaba sentada mirando ❤
Holy jeezus that downpicking is monstrous... absolute legend and an inspiration.
The employee with Opeth shirt is not excited beacuse his taste of music is beyond Megadeth's music. Dave is a beast though.
Mastah!
MEGALIFE!!!!!
Slapaa da basssaa

These legs in front of Dave... Gosh!*_*

Super bajista la esa guitarra de megadeth x siempre

Bro these guitar center employees do not give a single fuck LMAO
employees are always unhappy at work
I spy that D.R.I shirt.
Employees dont look like music lovers at all. Its fucking Dave Ellison, but I'm willing bet they have no clue who Dave is.
everyone filming on therir phones ... srsly
I feel like I'm watching a parody documentary
His amp was too damn low. Crank it up to 11
the employees in the back are un interested in anything thats going on,lol
David kinda looks like Axl Rose nowadays lol
And this my friends is why the lead guitar player is more popular than the bassist
Everyone’s complaining about the employees lack of enthusiasm, but why would they be excited to see a BASSIST? 😂
MEGADETH IS GOD
More and less...
Bass players have it so easy. Dave basically playing a 1st year student riff, relaxing while that brutal Marty solo is ripping across the fretboard.
Ummm. Check your research there bud many times David rips it almost as much as the others.

Get out kid
Mitchell Groat awful
Just joking uno Davie 504 plus I'm way old man
I'm not the biggest Megadeth fan out there, but if Dave Ellefson came to talk and perform at my store I'd be grinning from ear to ear the whole time.
He played performed at a music store were I lived at in Waldorf MD and he was awesome. It was one of the best days of my life. I'll never forget it.
i belive that David is such a nice guy

Wish Marty popped out from behind the counter just before the solo

Wish I was smarter so I could read sheet music.
I wish the musical chairs with musicians would stop. Get Marty back make metal good again.
Ellefson is a great bassist guy!!!! All there were fortunate people! 👏
If this was just audio, I could convince myself Owen Wilson joined Megadeth.
Opeth fans have no idea what the fuck thrash metal is, they even took a Celtic frost and made it into some kinda melodic crap.
