Sloppy yet stylish as fuck. That's the style of Dave Mustaine and it's wonderful \m/
It's always been that way. On Peace Sells, Dave was the chaotic, lightning fast soloist, while Poland brought feels and smooth delivery.
@@11DNA11 perfect description.... magneto static chaos mixed with jazz silk. Peace Sells is a fusion love letter written in thrash.
The only thing sloppy is yo mama Nerd.
@@arcadeslum5882Cringe as fuck
It's interesting how his solos rhythmically rely largely on repeating patterns whereas his rhythmic playing is far more varied.
I've always thought of him as a "lead" rhythm player.
Yeah man he truely is
Can you describe how those solos rely on repeating patterns? Thanks
pentatonic licks
It's very interesting. I play in a Megadeth tribute band so I've studied the styles of all the guitar players pretty closely (and wow they are ALL good). Dave is a great player and it's like he has that special quality to be a virtuoso player but I don't know if he has the personality to just sit there and devote the hours needed to achieve that. I'm not saying Dave isn't disciplined and that he didn't devote time to his craft, he clearly did. You really hear it in the songwriting. But personality wise, and uh, extra-curricular wise :) he's more the rockstar/frontman type. I don't see him as the guy that just sat in his room for hours on end putting in the endless and tedious repetition needed to become a super clean player. That's usually the other guitarist in Megadeth's role. Dave has the talent, but I think being the frontman, songwriter, singer, party animal just took to much of his focus. All good though! Megadeth are a one of a kind band, one of my favorites, and one of the truly great guitar bands in rock/metal. In fact I can't see how they are not in everyone's top 5 list for metal guitar bands.
the look on his face is awsome in this after watching the chris poland solo video
+Nicholas Norway same :)
+Nicholas Norway Look at the pic at 7:25 My Last Words solo xD
LOL priceless!
Nicholas Norway - Guitarist that’s the look of heroine. And he was only 22. WOW
Crystal Davis 25 but trve
*HIGH SPEED DERP*
😂😂😂
at 1.20 Dave pulls off this Egyptian sounding lick that just leaves me in awe.
actually starts at 1.15
Auggy Bendoggy dude right it sounds so bad ass!
harmonic minor is fucking awesome
@@davidgarcia6796 fifth mode of harmonic minor
@@Jaimealonsoreyes phrygian
he's like the jimmy page of fast shredders! a lot of it is on the sloppy side, but it still manages to enhance the quality of the song, and doesnt make you question his ability or technical skill as a guitarist. He thinks about the feel of the song before the cleanliness of each individual note and it works perfectly for the music!
You read my mind, he didn't try to outplay the other guitarist, he just played what was needed (chaotic and sloppy leads which contrast with the silky smooth soloing of Poland).
A lot of Dave's music, just sounds eerie as hell!
Walamonga 1313
That's the feel i get from this album. Dave's chaotic leads balance out the smooth Poland leads :) Nice little balance needed :)
Jimmy Page was Dave's idol
The song is the only important thing.
I would argue that 'the slop' is part of what makes his solos (and older music in general) so interesting.
He's a phenomenal guitarist, and he's the most important musician in the thrash genre by far.
Most influential guitarist in thrash tied with the legendary H-team
Thrash is probably the only metal genre where you're able to get away with being sloppy since it adds to the street-edge vibe
@@meatjuice9081 That's not really true overall. If you have sloppy rhythm parts, it just sounds crap.
The Best, or definitely one of..
Well...At least it is obvious who is doing what & when!
Some guys (like Ronnie Wood/Keith Richards)blend & mesh their riffs so smoothly...you can't really tell if it's Ronnie or Keith
To all the people complaining his playing is sloppy, you do realise it's music right? Not maths. Man made music, not computer made music. The imperfections make it sound human
In 2021 people can only criticize..these solos made the history of metal!we are so lucky to listen to all of these isolated.Brilliant solos,the bad omen one sound like an evil laugh!
My last words is the best solo from dave in my opinion, it's simply awesome
^
06:35
When I listened to the record, this was so unpredictable that it sounded like the Gates of Hell opening.
That solo sounds like a broken ambulance/vehicle siren but it sounds amazing
1:09 - 1:44 from Wake up Dead one of my favorite solos ever.
1:17 oh my fucking GOOOOOOOOOOD
Dave said that this was his personal favorite solo
Dave's genius on full display, there's nobody that plays like him, he has unique style.
And they accomplished all this being around 22 years old and on heroine.
Chris Poland destroys him as a lead player, but I actually prefer Dave's solos on this album. His creative genius is the driving force behind Megadeth, and it shows in his solos. They are not as technical and a little sloppy, but he plays with great feel and they ALWAYS enhance the song.
Poland destroys anyone. He's the most skilled Megadeth guitarist of all time and takes massive dumps on anyone in the Big 4 alone.
IMO I like Poland’s solos better than Dave’s on peace sells but yeah I think these are his most creative solos
@@11DNA11 Dave's solos are far more creative than Poland... Poland is Megadeth's most skillful after "Friedman". And he could be the Big Four's most killer guitarist behind "Chris Broderick" and "Kiko Loureiro".
@@11DNA11 Marty destroys Chris. And Rust in peace is the best.
@Potato Man I agree. Imo Broderick is technically better but the stuff that he makes up doesn't sound as good. It's impressive but not better. Broderick can solo all day but the music he makes up doesn't sound as good. It sounds telegraphed like a scale study book or something. Friedman and Poland are more creative and sound more pleasing to the ear.
7:57 I just now noticed the eyes. Holy zucc the eyes
HIGH SPEED DERP
1:58 i cannot stop listening this
Ripped straight from Uli's solo in Scorpions "Catch Your Train"
Such a sick solo. Stopped counting the times I've listened to The Conjuring, lol.
Gonna have to check that song but probably my favorite lead in the album by far
@@towernewyorkcity3127 whoah that's quite true
Dave was just a genius, Chris was just skillful.
Holy fuck that riff at 0:59 just knocks brick walls down. Fucking adore his Rhythm playing lol
6:35 that solo blow my head, dave is badass
I love how Dave is like, “I paid for the whole mf ing fret board, and I’m gonna use the whole mf ing fret board.” It gives it a lot of energy for real, he’s really the best at mixing everything aspect up. Like he’s not the very best at any one thing, but he’s really good at every little thing. Like the ultimate multi purpose or “Swiss Army” guitarist. His solos are fun as Hell to play and hear.
He actually had a pretty good metal tone on these albums. Always found the Metallica tone too muddy and scooped. Megadeth always had a nice tight sound.
He used little gain from the Marshalls.gives a nice tight pick response
Metallica has always had a great studio sound even with the mids scooped, their albums still sound really tight
Isaac White not on hardwire their guitar tone sounds weird they should of stocked to the tone they had on the black album or ...and justice for all that would of been kick ass
Maruchan Chiken Nah man. The nice thing about Metallica is that the guitar tone always changes and it keeps things fresh.
Isaac White I don’t mind constant change if it improves the tone, many bands if not all bands do that lmao but tbh that hasn’t been the case for Metallica especially with their live tone, it’s muddy and really annoying IMO.
Ironic how the rhythm guitarist gets more lead time on this album than the lead guitarist.
+Guillermo Molina Woah man, spamming comments? Just kidding. This happens in most bands that are basically just one person (the mastermind), for example Death and Annihilator.
+Guillermo Molina
I wouldn't call Dave the rhythm guitarist. He has solos in almost every song Megadeth has done, especially on this album and Rust in Peace.
+Guillermo Molina Dave has always been a lead/rhythm guitarist. Plus you`re too young to be ironic, lighten up.
I prefer Marty Friedman over Dave
SativaSunday dave mustaine is a literal guitar god
This is truly the lead guitar playing of a rhythm guitar playing. You compare that to any other guitarist that's been on Megadeth: Chris, Marty, Kiko - Dave's playing is very much pattern-based and aggressive. It's a unique sound.
Death had almost the same chemistry, rough leads from the front man rhythm guitarist with smooth leads from a strict lead
Dave is all Fire, Piss, Vinegar with a linear approach to scales
0:16-0:19 Dimebag Darrell perfected this
The whammy bar part?... Dave Mustaine just did a pinch harmonic on it.. Dimebag can do much better, he does a natural haromic, and all he does is whammy the shit out of his guitar to where it sounds like somebody screaming
Dave is pure attack on every note. His looseness adds great feel to the song. He just flat out tears it up
This Man Has The Greatest Hair in Metal and some of the Greatest Solos Ever. Can We Give Dave Props??
Devils island intro is so amazo
4:18 probably my favorite lick on the record.
4:55 best lick of Dave for me
agreed
@@saredodevil oh shit that one’s good too sounds like a reving engine or something
@@gbirdo4718 that's right
Don't know why but on 3:00 is my fav guitar solo lick
In a lot of ways, he is the Jimmy Page of Western metal - 'Organized chaos'. Fairly sloppy soloing at times due to minimal emphasis on technique that works out just fine in the mix and surprisingly doesn't diminish his stature as a guitar hero. Shreddsville mayor or not, his rhythm playing on the other hand, is out of this world.
6:35 is so fucking sick!!!!
He is a beast doing killer riffs
I see you everywhere on Megadeth videos lol
whats great about dave's playing is that even though its quite sloppy, both his feel and rhythmic choices are absolutely brilliant. all the spontanious polymeters are just rad. there are certainly players who can play a lot more impressive parts, but no one can beat his feel and certainly not his rhythmic choices. plus he was high on every drug for most of this. pure heavy metal spirit.
i thought the outro to the conjuring was a chris solo for so long, but now that it isn’t kinda buried in the mix i can tell it’s dave
anadraps - He uses a similar idea on other solos, for example Lucretia's.
i’ve always loved The conjuring solo.
Love his style!
1:56 best solo
Really messy, in a glorious way! 🤘🤘👍
4:39 there is someone whispering "flawless"
Dave`s focus is amazing @ 7:26 !
my fav dave solos are my last words and the conjuring and black friday
the second Peace Sells solo is actually one of his best
2:47 wait a minute... I just watched a 1986 live video of Megadeth playing this song, and in that exact solo there it was Chris Poland playing it... can we have 100% certainty of these solos here in these two videos? but yeah, it's pretty insane how Poland's solos are way more "clean", you can tell them apart from that aspect alone, not better or worse, just clean as heck
ua-cam.com/video/NN6qXEzRnf4/v-deo.html
That's Dave playing it
I'm curious about the guitar Dave was using to do the solo on wake up dead. His BC Rich Bich didn't have a tremolo and you can clearly hear him using one. I know Chris's BC Rich bich had a tremolo so it's a possibility that he might have been using Chris's guitar for that solo. There are also pictures of Dave back then with a red warlock that had a kahler. So Yeah. interesting.
Ok.. Yeah just my point was he solos in wake up dead. I hear a trem dive and a guitar he had been playing for 6 years publicly didn't have a trem. Just something i thought was interesting.
He had a B.C. Rich strat when Megadeth was first starting out too. If you go to his facebook page and look at his album from 1985 there's a picture of him playing it.
John Barnhart what's REALLY funny is dave said whammy bars are for people who can't solo, yet i hear him using the whammy bar in the wake up dead solo
dave already had his king v by the time md recorded peace sells, he was probably using it on wake up dead. but you can tell from the tone that he was clearly using the rich bich on my last words.
then he was probably using chris’ bc rich
7:26...damn.
Dave has such a kill em all sound or should i say kill em all has a dave sound
Didn't know devils island was that sloppy. Sounds amazing in the mix
He plays kinda sloppy to me, but pulls it off so well
That's his style. Frantic.
Bad Omen Mustaine is a god... so is Jimmy Page. Both known for not being technical. I remember the first time I saw Chris Zoupa give the look of “fuck this is hard” in a solo teach video and it was re a Mustaine solo.
Sloppy. Hell no.
Far from sloppy. He never misses a note. Chaotic is the correct word.
Yeah it is haha, and it does work! I dunno how. Slayer is KIND OF similar, but IMO nowhere near the same league as Megadeth.
Go back to listening to kirk hammet
Wow The return to Hangar solo is pretty much a modified version of the solo on "The conjuring"
Thanks for these dude, its a pleasure to be able to hear both Dave and Chris's solo. My personal favorite is 7.24 to 8.07
Some of the isolated stuff sounds great. Some of it sounds like a trainwreck isolated. Drugs man. They can make you erratic and inconsistent. Glad to see he got himself more on track over the years.
Excellent
The conjuring...obey!
All played on a BC Rich Bich.
I thought it was Jackson at the time.
he switched to jacksons during rust in peace
The Jackson switch was made in 1987 if anyone is interested
In an interview from the 90's he said his silver Jackson v was his number one and had been used to record everything since peace sells
He got his first jackson after Peace Sells was recorded. There's an avid Jackson collector who documented this on jacksonguitarpalace.com, even with pics of the order form.
There's a massive change in guitar tone after Peace Sells, and having played a vintage BC Rich, I can confirm those are the way to go in order to get the sound from KimB and Peace Sells. Vintage Jacksons are amazing, but they don't bend towards that sound.
He did very well considering he had three things he was doing. Singing, rhythm, and lead. It's kinda like if you were doing brick laying all by yourself. You usually got one guy placing the brick, one guy spreading the mud, and another guy hoisting up bricks. Now if you had to do all three jobs your in for a hard days work. It takes work to be Dave.
These are really good!
Dave’s solos are good but Chris Poland’s sound crazy man.
I know Dave said he didn't like Kirk's solos but I find them to be pretty similar in the early albums. They both use the same pentatonic scale patterns, at least in the 80s. Kirk has devolved into Wah pedal abuse now though
Chris Poland: *impossibly melodic and tight solo*
Dave: (weeeley- wheedly-weedly weedly-waaaa-- neeneeener-neeenerenerr-neeeener-kneee..)
should that be the 3rd solo of wake up dead?
@@thrashislife2654 whatever fan boy, Dave sucks at soloing.
@@jesse_cole thanks for the useful opinion random internet stranger, I don't know what would be of us without it
@@leonardo9259 that was stupid
@@jesse_cole I could say the same
2:32 I always thought that solo was by chris
It does sound like Chris, doesn't it? Some people also think that the one at 2:58 is Chris' too and I can see why.
Me too
Where are Jeff Young's Solos from SFSGSW ?
MegaDave! Forever!
4:12 five magics solo!!!!
Haha yeah same lick
5:07 🤘
7:30 GAMAZ
Even though Chris Poland is so much better technically honestly I don't find them very memorable outside of that first Good Mourning and I think My Last Words while a lot of these here are burned in my mind.
To be fair I feel like Dave cleaned up the sloppiness in RIP.
And thinking about it I would kinda like to hear Poland cover these toget a smoother and cleaner version of these hahaha.
Dave Mustaine. Take all the fancy Shredders he's had #davestheboss #Mustaineforever #Megadeth
metallica should have never let this dude go
they would have still sounded like this today
6:30 !!!!!!
Best solo with my last words
Some fun with A minor!!
Dave beast mustaine!!!!
It’s hilarious. It takes 2 guitar players in Metallica to do what Dave can do by himself and he doesn’t use a ton a distortion.
Well considering one of the guitar players in Metallica is a lackey that only ever got 64 bars a song to abuse his wah pedal and not much else it's still right to give James most of the credit for that band
1:08 is it me or is this solo double tracked??
Phrygian!!
I`m actually surprised that all his stuff sounds good on albums
When you mix all the instruments and enhance the sound in a studio, most imperfections go unnoticed.
I know, I also record and mix, still...)
Anti Phase
Cool man!
Walamonga 1313 thanks)
I had a bc rich rich bich to be like Dave. Then when I got a Jackson power V with just 22 frets I grew into more than just a Dave clone.
a credit to dementia
El dave
I think the first good mourning Black Friday solo is the best mustaine solo
What about My Last Words?
+Walamonga 1313 I'm just using the one that gives me chills and goosebumps lol
+Termo VOLTAGE Good Mourning/Black Friday is by far the best Megadeth song but I think Poland has better solos than Dave in it.
+Walamonga 1313 yea Poland is a very good guitar player/composer, that's why the album was so good. Two great composers, Him and Mustaine.
duh, he's Poland
Dave viendo como lo mueve esa muchachota
y do people think it has to be perfectly technical to be good. its the groovy imperfections that make it awesome. go listen to a piano then.
That's why he's the master? Chuck from death,maybe a tie?
I love that song "Disconnect" and how it has an extended solo section in a "duel" format. Is Mustaine playing that entire solo? Which part of it is Mustaine? The 1st part, right?
Take into account he was out of his mind on heroin at the time too
0:57 .....diana diana ....
Is there no isolated track for Bad Omen?
Kill em all era Metallica is my favorite, and even though they were in a weird flux, Dave is all over that album, and they changed when they replaced him with Kirk
Easily the best Metallica album
2:48 ..?? Come on dude 🤣
4:44
If you can't picture Dave's grinding face while he's laying these down . You're no fan
Eres una bestia tocando la guitarra, pero tan no es del estilo de Poland el solo de Tornado of Souls que definitivamente no encajó. Es de esos solos que se crearon para ser tocados por una sola persona (Marty).
Dave is a beast but Chris Poland's solos were much cleaner.
WAYYY cleaner
Cleaner doesn’t mean better
@@Qthetar Preach a little louder, the choir can't hear you.
The reason you think Dave's solos are sloppy,Is because some are double tracked solos blended together in the studio.Your ears are playing tricks on you.It is actually impossible to play the same solo twice, exactly the same.But doing double tracked solos is indeed a very 70's tactic & is cool.Mustaine's style is more like Ace Frehley than Jimmy Paige.Poland is much like Jeff Beck,but is more based on a flat bar with index finger, because Chris poland can't bend his index finger.
Rubbish hes just an aggressive unpollisged player with attitude.. watch any video of him playing or isolated track hes always using a nail bomb when he plays 😂😂😂😂😂
Are those original tracks?
If there ever was a rhythmic, song writing guitarist to attempt and do lead he's it. Lead "requires" a fluid approach with a focus on phrasing. Basically, he's old school before there was school...
I don't want to bring a Chuck Berry into this but honestly it's a similar thing.
Rhythmic leads with some attention to phrases. Basically lick or riff based leads. Dave's solos are hard to mimic but easy to understand. Usually.
1:58
Are those scooped mids I hear?
Warhead yes a little. The mids are on 2
I thought this was a recording of me playing the solos but is Dave Mustaine himself. Self taught has it cons 😂
It'd be worth listening to other solo tracks by many other guitar players from the time before you open your mouth on this at all.
For real...hahaha
