Every clip I've seen of this Essen show, Megadeth was in full tilt - this was when they were still dangerous and had a lot to prove. Glad this was all caught on film - excellent footage & performance!
+BuggritHall Ha! A Time Machine , for me , would be like me having a pussy - I'd never leave it alone! Seriously - what I've noticed about most bands (AC/DC, probably one of the few exceptions) is that in their younger days, they're more in the spirit of the performance vs as they get older they become more critical of their playing and try to perfect everything, and it loses that spontaneous , "off the cuff" attitude .
This is a killer version of this song! Dave is on fire. I wish he would play more solos these days because no matter what anybody says he will always be the best guitarist in Megadeth!
@@isaact.5136 Marty is truly amazing to say the least, but Dave has this frenetic/psychotic yet controlled fury to his playing that I've never quite heard elsewhere.
Thrash in the 80s... Very impressive! You die, wake up dead! Great line-up for Megadeth... Plus my better half would kill me if they thought I was sleeping around... LOL.
Yeah Jeff Young does play (What looks like) uncomfortably high up with the neck held way up probably like 45 degrees. He can shred though, shit, like really good. He sure is no Chris Poland though, my gawd that guy can play like a select few. My guitar posture is very similar to Mustaine, but I dont play Flying V guitars though. Nor can I shred like him OR Jeff Young. I play a standard ESP Ltd guitar. Novice level of course. But I wanna get this good someday. Megadeth is my favorite of all!
It means if his girlfriend has found out about the other lovers he will wake up dead. If you say to someone "your dead" when you are pissed off it doesn't literally mean that you will kill them. Either that or she would actually kill him if she had found out.
@4everliam u just don't understand heavier music than thrash. it's ok. I didn't a year ago. And then I listened to two bands called Death and Atheist....
Some humourous comments lol..bottom line is Dave invented Thrash/Speed single handedly..like him or loath him, that's the facts..personally, in this form they're pretty much untouchable, even without Chris & Gar \m/
![Megadeth - Wake Up Dead (Live, Sofia 2010) [HD]](/img/n.gif)
I wish I had Dave's hair. And his playing skills. Good Lord he can fucking shred
Yeah me too. He's amazingly talented. A god.
Underrated
Practice practice!
Agreed
A hell of a tight rhythm player too
The last lead on this song is one of the greatest in metal history.
Albee213 The first one is the greatest!
Albee213 The first one is the greatest!
not only the last one, also the first one and all the rest of them.
The whole song is great, but I know what you mean. That ending riff is heavy as fuck.
The whole album is a masterpiece of insane solos.
2:38 holy crap dave
It's awesome, how Dave can still play like the way he did 30 years ago.
Also the fact he had to relearn guitar because he smashed his hand up some point before the system has failed
When thrash meets groove...
or when thrash meets jazz
@@absolutedeafness1173 and funk
@FiftyCaliberTV this is a very unpopular opinion, but Contradictions Collapse from Meshuggah had songs from 89-90 and its hella groovy
@Mechanix groove has been around on metal before Pantera
There's been allot of groovey riffs
Pantera only made it popular
@@Gabobow it was released in 1991 though?
This is probably my favorite Megadeth concert ever, it just has a vibe to it that I can't describe, it's just kickass
Good god that tone
the sound of Dave's guitar is amazing. 3:15 is like a spaceship with some heavy ass distortion. Just perfect
Best live version of this song.
The ending lead is one of the best I've ever heard. It's so tasty and skillful at the same time
Every clip I've seen of this Essen show, Megadeth was in full tilt - this was when they were still dangerous and had a lot to prove.
Glad this was all caught on film - excellent footage & performance!
+hazor777 I really need to build a time machine to go back and get to see this gig. As you said this is a monster of a Megadeth show.
+BuggritHall
Ha! A Time Machine , for me , would be like me having a pussy - I'd never leave it alone!

Once again wise words there
Chuck was a absolute beast
No one better as this was his time....didn't last long but he was amazing.
Kirk wishes she wrote this solo
Which one exactly? there are 4 solos indeed.
the best one
no need to bring the ladies down with Kirk in your comment lol. yuck.
and dave wishes he wrote the jump in the fire solo! Oh, wait...
Kirk in those days himself wrote some memorable solos... Fade to Black, One, MOP...etc !
Dave's hair is killer in this
one of the greatest riffs in metal history. FACT CHECK THAT.
This is the coolest live performance ever
that outro.. fuckn epicest of all outros
This is a killer version of this song! Dave is on fire. I wish he would play more solos these days because no matter what anybody says he will always be the best guitarist in Megadeth!
Marty Friedman has entered the chat
@@isaact.5136 Marty is truly amazing to say the least, but Dave has this frenetic/psychotic yet controlled fury to his playing that I've never quite heard elsewhere.
I need a fucking time machine to go back to see this fucking gig!!!
I fucking love this tone. It could pierce through any metal.
The riff at 1:00 its just amazing.
Damn, that tone.
seriously, I want that tone
Riley Palmer hell yeah its badass
Dave had an awesome tone here
It's a thing called Rockman, used by JP too.
definitely one of the best live performances of this song
1988 - an ancient time where you could buy normal blue jeans with no holes in them or bleaching without checking every store in town.
Dude Dave Mustaine had ripped jeans.
Stfu boomer
replicant #85 yupp
1:45 coolest shot of Dave shredding
That ascending run up the fretboard he does right there is fucking amazing
Prob my fav live the way he just walks off like nothing happened after playing those heavy riffs and fast solos looks cool
This song is the best of the best
Wonder what drugs they were on that night
Panadol
Easier would be to answer, what they weren't on.
Goabnb94 Speedballs man. Coke and Heroin in one syringe.
Fredegunde Stratton nah they didn't mess with needles. Dave didn't pick up a needle till the mid 90's when he relapsed.
all of them
watched this video about a million times.. i grumble at the fact they spelled megadeth wrong
same here
But it's only 150k views 😂😂
I love this band, i love this band so much...
what a badass band
wake up dead men.. he was hyper active for this year.
I think dave got his revenge😂
the sound of the riff after the intro solo is amazing in this show
that solo is so amazing :D
one of my favvs for sure
3:14 i love how dave sings exactly like 2000 era
Badass. Man. Wish I could’ve been there to see !
Thrash in the 80s... Very impressive! You die, wake up dead! Great line-up for Megadeth... Plus my better half would kill me if they thought I was sleeping around... LOL.
I feel the power in this song OMG !
Amazing.
Best live performance of a metal song possibly ever
best version live
this is gold
1.00 one of the best metal riffs, its killing
That. Was. Awesome.
the thumbnail to this video is amazing
I'd do anything to have seen this concert.
wow. just...wow
I saw Megadeth in January 1988 at The Scope in Norfolk, VA. They, along with Savatage, opened for Ronnie James Dio.
dave's got a good tone here
Yeah Jeff Young does play (What looks like) uncomfortably high up with the neck held way up probably like 45 degrees. He can shred though, shit, like really good.

TEMAZO ESTA WEA , AWANTE MEGADETH......
This has to be the best version of this song.
God dammit this such a good song
Currently learning this song on guitar, and hopefully after my birthday, I have enough money to buy a Jackson rhoads
pura energiaaa locoo !!!!!
The most badass song fuck yeah
ame este video!
Would anyone else agree that this gtar sounds similar to a maiden tone?
Maiden doesn't have as much distortion tho
Killer 🤘
2:30 🔥
I have one!
hell yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!\m/
Metal na veia!!!
Fuck brazil!
dave mustaine you're the god of riffs! i fucking love all the riffs you're making!!
these guys are a level of cool i thought only existed in anime
Anyone else notice Dave actually missed count with his vocals so he has to say Diana twice and saves it lol
jeff youngs power stance!
Tight Pants!!! Yeahh!!!!!!
¿ha que demonio tengo que venderle el alma para tocar la guitarra de esta forma?
dave sos el mejor \m/
He's one of those dude who learned to play sitting down
We can see Jeff Young Jazz influence by how high his guitar straps.....
Watch Chris Broderick playing his guitar :) It's not that high up his neck, but it's still pretty high up there :)
Hey do you know where can I download the whole show???
Dave mustaine Is a genius
Dia... Diana
Hey can someone fix Cajun's name John Campbell ( Haussmann ) And His Brother's, Mom's. Did you put Kelly Look with her real Mother and fix that also.
Are they playing it faster?
see it :D
@Deathrash241 oh yeah
Thrashing version! Thanx for posting!
Best era of music period. The artist wrote, sang, performed not this auto tune bullshit of today's computer era
@guitarirltbh no its very well used in black metal example: look at Gorgoroth
@lleo11 you mean it's used in thrash metal mostly
DoppeeE
Jeff Young
@lleo11 example of thrash metal: look at metallica, megadeth, sepultura, warbringer, onslaught etc.
fuck that rift is amazing. duh duh..duh duh duh duh...
How hot Dave looks!! I wonder if Diana was in the audience or backstage....!
noob,just hit the like button
@MexicanTiger19 its used in black metal mostly :]
It means if his girlfriend has found out about the other lovers he will wake up dead. If you say to someone "your dead" when you are pissed off it doesn't literally mean that you will kill them. Either that or she would actually kill him if she had found out.
Damn...young mustaine is so angry!!
Fucking destroyed!
