Interview by Pierre Gutiérrez
Video editor: Renzo Gutiérrez
WAS IT FAIR TO FIRE ELLEFSON???: ua-cam.com/video/IlydcuzMUQw/v-deo.html
No Dave is not fair. He is just being Dave.
Most hypocritical douche move in human history
Chris' work on The System Has Failed was phenomenal.
It really was!
kick the chair solo’s from chris are pretty unique
honestly I can't believe more people aren't talking about it!
You could have just stopped at "Chris's work"
Their best post Rust album in my opinion
Chris and Gar are part of my favorite Megadeth line-up. Peace Sells is their best album. People tend to praise Friedman and Menza more, but after Rust in Peace I feel Megadeth left the raw aggressiveness behind. Those early Megadeth albums are so raw, added with the jazz influence from Chris and Gar it was the perfect blend.
You got a point there, sir.
Period!!!!!!!
The greatest speed metal band from america, best line up chris and gar. Period!!!!!!!
yes, RIP is great but has a very shiny production job, i know what you are saying i love the motor head type sound on killing is my business even, too, it's so rough and raw!
You can’t get any better than the first four Megadeth or Metallica for that matter
What's great about Chris Poland's style is that you never know what's coming next but it's immediately recognizable as him.
Yes sir!
Chris Poland saying Master of Puppets was one of his favourite records ever made = mindblown
Thanks for watching!
The best guitarist Megadeth ever had and ever will have. No one came close in my opinion. Chris has that X factor which puts him in the arena of the greatest players on earth. He’s that good in my opinion, just listen to his other work for proof of this. He is a musical genius.
He really is that good
Same with gar
Oh yeah his work with Megadeth was amazing
@@rocktalks5706 Check out his band after that, Damn The Machine. Seriously underrated
Right!!! I think Megadeth always has had great guitarist. But ya Chris is my favorite too. I saw an old interview with Marty Friedman and he said the guitarist before him were just average guitarist. I laughed at that. Marty's really good everyone loves tornado and many others but if Chris is an average guitarist than Marty is well below average haha
Chris Poland: best Megadeth guitarist ever, and one of the greatest guitarists ever.
He gave us some great records for sure!
dave mustaine is the best megadeth guitarist but friedman, poland, and loreiro are all valid seconds
Chris is an unsung legend who deserves way more credit and recognition than he's gotten. _Metalopolis_ is a masterpiece, and _Ohm_ is so innovative.
I used to play sax from 4th grade to 10th grade ...when I started learning guitar I wanted it to sound like the sax .... Chris Poland took it right out of my soul and put it on Megadeth albums ...his solo on tears in a vial is his best piece of work imho
Cool story! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the good interview guys. This is Andy from Fatal Opera. It was pretty awesome to have Chris and David play on The Raven. It is a great tribute to Gar and all of the old fans, including me. It's also cool that I was there when Gar recorded his drum tracks a few years ago. We actually considered several songs for the trio to play on but decided on The Raven. Mustaine was asked to contribute, but generously declined, it's all cool. As for a Fatal Opera tour, who knows. I'm up for it. I feel sorry for whoever has to play Gar's parts though. By the way, Chris also plays on another track with Gar called The Mask of Time that is on the Fatal Opera 3 album. For those who may not know, I put together a compilation of unreleased tracks with Gar playing drums earlier this year. Some of the songs are straight up demos and some are more produced. It is the last recordings of Gar Samuelson. David Ellefson and Chris Poland put the icing on the cake. It's good to be part of this history. I can attest to the fact that David and Chris are great musicians and good men. Peace.
Wow! That's amazing. I'm such a huge fan of gar, I uploaded his drum tracks from killing is my business, he's my favorite drummer, let me know if you ever release more stuff, I also have a discord I made for Megadeth community fans
Rip gar, the best!
I hung out with Chris a couple of times between sets (OHM) at the Baked Potato in Studio City. My buddy was talking to him about mixing a live recording they were planning, so I tagged along being a huge fan of his work in Megadeth. Chris was just the nicest guy ever, and his playing was insane! I had no idea he was that level of player, his sound was unique and the fusion/metal/rock/jazz style was really another level above what I knew of him.
I also got to talk to Chris a few times, he's cool as fuck
This is the best Chris Poland interview I ever saw! Especially when he talks about the RIP demos. Great job guys!
Thanks man please Subscribe and share!
I saw the original Megadeth, Miami Beach in May 1987 with Overkill and The Necros, Peace Sells tour. Someone hit a light pole up the street from the Cameo and Megadeth lost power about 5 times and had to keep running off the stage.
Wowww I'm so jealous! What was if like to see gar play drums? Chuck behler told me it was insanely mind blowing and I don't doubt it at all
Fantastic player. Love the first two Megadeth albums.
Oh yeah, Peace sells is a classic!
Cool interview guys. OHM is rad! Poland, a unique and distinctive cat.
I was a forum member of the Megadeth discussion boards around '04 - '05, Circa whole catalog Remasters & The System has Failed era. Man, it was full drama, as well as fun.
Poland is talking about being screwed over the Rust In Peace demos and not about his work on TSHF.
I love Risk and Cryptic Writings too.
Saludos de un paisano 🇵🇪
Muchas gracias, amigo!
Great interview. Huge Megadeth fan from the beginning. Much respect for Chris Poland
Thanks a lot Korky!! Please share!
Best player him and Marty.
Chris Poland and Kiko
Ohm's Icarus Falls off of the Amino Acid Flashback album is mind blowing. Dude is so good, it's ridiculous. Good interview.
Thanks a lot bro! Please share and subscribe :)
Chris should post those Megadeth demos, can only find three on here, plus any other rare stuff or put out an ep with everything
It's not up to him because of coypright issues. Ask Mustaine XD
@@rocktalks5706 Guess it will never happen then, He got religious and is still a dick, lol
At 29:00 Chris is talking about Rust in Peace, but the interviewer thinks he's talking about System Has Failed, an important distinction to make. Basically what happened was Dave re-released Rust in Peace with demos as bonus tracks and Chris played on the demos before Marty Friedman was hired, so some of the bonus material had Chris Polands playing from like 1989. Chris assumed he was going to get royalties for the demos when they were released and then got mad when he didn't. I'm sure Chris got paid for System Has Failed the way he was supposed to.
Megadeth ain't a Band, it's a one man's project with hired musicians.
Pretty much!
Megadeth is Dave's band, and it's always been Dave's band.
All the HS crap Re Dave vs Kirk etc is so embarassing. Lame for HS kids, let alone grown men. All from Dave and MD camp. Great musician, shitheel human being. The bully who claims victim status.
Outstanding interview.
Thanks a lot!! Please share! 🐱
So, Chris played on the “Rust In Peace” demos for all songs except “Dawn Patrol” and “Hangar 18”. Man, I’d love to hear those tracks that weren’t on the “Rust” reissue.
Awesome interview
Thanks a lot! Please share 😁
Did Chris said that he recorded demos on MOST songs in RIP?!
I would actually pay to listen to those
I was shocked too!
@@rocktalks5706 The demos for Holy Wars, Take no prisoners and Rust in Peace are widely available since the remastered albums...but do you know if the rest of the demos(Hangar 18, Poison was the cure, Five magics, lucretia, tornado of souls) are available somewhere??
@@javiermedina6303 I dont think so man.
@@javiermedina6303 Sadly no. I hope we can hear those gems some day. Btw a little correction "Hangar 18" was written when Marty joined.
@@themechanix8804 I never said it was written before, i was just wondering if Chris had made any solos on demos of it...... how are you sure it was composed when Marty joined?
Poland's leads on peace sells are some of the best guitar work ever, just listen to the isolated tracks of it from him, no one plays like that, I don't know why he feels inferior to metallica, he's Not.
Did he really say he feels inferior to Metallica??
@@rocktalks5706 didn't exactly say those words, but it kinda felt like he was going in that direction
I love the video here on youtube with Chris's solos, the guy is a magician.
@@squiddad1528 he is beyond this world, way to good for megadeth and metal in general
@@CordPower I think your referring to Chris being dissapointed in Peace Sells production quality as MOP came out the same year with superior production
Chris Poland forever! The real axe
yeah he was great with Megadeth!
Awesome interview guys! If you talk to Chris again, we have to hear about Damn The Machine. One of the best albums ever made if you ask me. I’m lucky Music Warehouse put the three song promo cassette in my bag when I got Alive III in 1993.
Those are the three best songs on there but so many others were great as well. The Mission, Lonesome God, On With The Dream, among the finest Metal out there. Can’t believe those guys weren’t considered a bigger deal. At the time every kid was obsessed with Vulgar. That was a history-changing album, so, not even Countdown or The Black Album was considered the big deal once Vulgar hit.
Hopefully Damn The Machine gets the recognition they deserve one of these days.
Ive only ever heard the one song" the mission" but that was a killer track 🤘
Great interview
Thanks a lot! Please share! :)
Could anyone PLEASE link me the Chris Poland Lucretia and Tornado demos....
OK bro, I won’t skip it. In fact, your like the only person ever that has mentioned it. Instead of just asking to help your channel with money. Your doing it the right way and I like that. So please everybody let that commercial go through come on man help this brother out. ROBERT 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼TYRANNY 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks a Lot, Robert. Cheers!
Peace Sells is my all time Fave
Legendary album for sure!
I can't believe you're here LOL
@@themechanix8804 I love Megadeth!
Thanks!
You are welcome, José!
Dave on the Gong Show Chris you made my day Thank you MEGADETH
Awesome stuff cheers
Thanks a lot! Please subscribe and share :)
The interviewers are missing / not following up on so many interesting things Poland throws at them. The response to everything is “Uh hum. Okay.”
Would you guys like to interview andy freeman from gar's band fatal opera? I can set it up. I am chris poland's mgr
I would love to interview Chris Poland ;)
34:22 Thank you for saying this btw
Right on, man. Thanks for watching!
Great video🤘🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a lot man! Please share, help me grow :)
@@rocktalks5706 anytime we get something from Poland is amazing🤘 i look forward to your videos!
Thanks for this. Is there any social media information for Chris so we can follow his new project? Discogs didn’t have much.
You are welcome man. Here you go: facebook.com/officialchrispoland
System Has Failed is one of the top Megadeth albums
It’s a great one. I’m glad Poland played on it.
Totally!
I love KIMB and Peace Sells more than Kill em All and Ride the Lightning, and KIMB might be the best thrash debut record of them all.
They were so raw and aggressive. Those guys were all just ripping, it’s so hard to
Flemming Rasmussen was also producer on ...And Justice For All. Metallica's album after Master Of Puppets.
Actually was the producer on Ride the lightning master of puppets and and justice for all
@@deletedhero5579 yeah I know. I just made that statement because in the interview Chris Poland stated that Master Of Puppets was the last album Flemming produced for Metallica.
@@nathaniellinsz9682 Ah that makes sense, my bad!
I wanna ask was there a pressure to kinda out perform Metallica and Ive learned alot about Chris latley and hes just one scary guy on guitar for sure some say he is still to this day one of the baddest around but I just wonderd if that was a hard push for them in those early days ?
I think all those bands had a healthy competition in those days. Megadeth started with slower more Sabbath style but fanmail asked them to be faster than Metallica and they increased the tempo to ridiculous speeds for their debut!
Metallica's and justice was them trying to be as progressive as possible for comepetion and holy wars was Dave trying to make a riff epic like master of puppets. The healthy competition is what made those bands deliver their best music!
Did Poland play live with them on the system has failed tour ????
I dont think so.
No
Chris is so awesome. There’s no such thing as the best guitarist ever, but he’s definitely the most underrated guitarist the world has ever seen!
Hey guys, this was great. Dipped into areas never discussed. Christ, Dave can be such a douche but fuck, Megadeth absolutely kills it. Thx again.
Glad you liked it bro. Cheers!
If he was paid for the session work itself, I don't think Dave is obligated to pay him any more. Fair or not. I think he could've thrown him a little more since the demos prob increase sales, but legally...I don't see it.
Be interested to find out how much guys like Chris get paid
But remember that those were just demos and weren't meant for release. When the remaster was released those 3 demos essentially became 3 new songs, so Chris deserved his part.
@@frankusyoung4198 i wouldn't say so, because it's a matter of who has publishing/writing/royalty credits on the content of the song. That's why bands always fight in the first place. When one guy does most of the writing that guy gets richer than the rest of them. So, if Poland had any claim to being a part of new content he would have been able to successfully negotiate or litigate.
Return to Metalopolis is real nice work 🛸🎸🌠🌎🤘👅💛🦋🎱🥇
También es típico que cuando participas de una super banda (sea cual sea esta) quieran sacar más dinero del que le toca.
A veces, las bandas tienen que cuidarse demasiado en esos temas, aunque creo que la peor era Slayer con Lombardo !
What? Lombardo was a founding member.... so he deserves his piece. Plus Kerry King sucks and was ripping off the rest of the band.
Sid Vicious was just the MAN!! He did it all!!
So glad Chris Poland was able to clean himself and continue to do his thing in the industry.
If chris stayed in Megadeth he became THE ULTIMATE guitar legend in the Metal world.His tone is so sick.What n player beast
Even better than Mustaine?
@@rocktalks5706kidding me? Poland plays circles around Dave. Dave makes good riffs but Poland is light years better than Mustaine. Mustaine is pretty mediocre lead guitarist.
Kinda sucks how you couldn't get the guy on camera for a face to face interview.
We were told by the PR he didnt want to turn on the cam. Sorry.
Why would Dave call
I have to say that Chris is spot on!! Look we do everything for the fans however we have to get paid. And for Dave to say something like that to Chris! Is one of the stupidest fucking things he could’ve done because if it was him we all know how he would’ve acted. Unbelievable
Yeah man, hard to believe.
Interview starts at 1:55
Anxiety problems?? Lol
Question.. Your riifs and solos didn't end up on Rip?...
Stupid question, of course they didn't, dave, marty did...
We asked about the solos Chris wrote not the ones recorded on the actual album. Thanks for watching.
11:28 The Vaudeville hook! 😆 🤣 👍
🤣🤣🤣
Chris was awesome 👌
Still is.
Absolutely 🎸
Ohm!!
Mustain drama baby.what ashame
Well Chris, Flemming did And Justice For All too...
dave is a stinging lord goddamn does he ever pay anyone lmao
Of course not he's jewish
Great to hear Chris Poland comments, but come on guys, your interview technique sucks..
You can't see Chris, and when he gives you indepth answers, you just say mm, mm, mm.
Like you can't be bothered or really interested
15:02
Well who would've been better for 1989 Poland or Friedman
Met Chris dont know if ive met a nicer guy...and then just played the shit out of the guitar, fantasitic
Lucky you! He seems to be a cool guy indeed.
When he started talking about master of puppets you should have let him keep going
He must always think how different it would have been if he'd acted right & stayed in the band?.
They were all dealing with substance abuse at the time.
How TF was Chris Poland going to rejoin Megadeth in 1989 ? Dave Mustaine was recruiting Jeff Waters from Annihilator , and Dimebag Darrell from Pantera about that time . Marty Friedman was auditioning as well . 🙄🤔😳🙈🙉🙊💥🔥
Thank fucking god Dimebag didn't join Megadeth! As a songwriter he was at least on par with Dave, as a guitarist he was better, and in Pantera he got to record with Anselmo who was and always will be a far superior singer than Mustaine. The metal world dodged a bullet in 1989.
@@marcingolab6227 I'm kind of bummed that Dave didn't pair with Jeff Waters in 1989 . Their sense of humour and Musical Influences would have been very similar . Their Riffs woud have been unbelievably complex . Jeff's solos would have been Phenominal paired with Dave's in Megadeth . Dave wanted bad asses in his band ? Jeff Waters was that .
You know, sometimes people like to have more than just 3 options for somethig that BIG.
@@rocktalks5706 Hmm , are your talking about Ozzy having Brad Gillis , George Lynch , Jake E Lee to Potentially replace Randy Rhoads in 1982 ?
Starts at 1.50
Chris seems like a really cool dude. No wonder he's not getting along with Mustaine. He should've been paid. Dave owes it to all those men who helped shape his band over the years. Those first two Megadeth albums were vital to the bands success, and they would be nowhere near as good without Chris. I find the guitar playing on Peace more interesting than Rust.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
all hear say
?
Mustaine mines guitarists for new material then dumps them when they are out of ideas- he's a musical vampire. What happened to him? He's becoming quite the disappointment. He treated Junior like he was trash, when his friend needed him the most. Recording over his bass parts? Really?!! Dave's greedy.
He has a personality disorder, he blames other people all the time
Metallica kicked Mustaine out for a reason, over the last 35 plus years we are seeing what they did in 1983. I respect Mustaine and love his music but other than the hat he is a tool . There’s a reason also the former members of Megadeth including Poland are now touring as kings of thrash, even chuck the drummer joined for a night or two. Megadeth lost me after youth album, peace sells is
Their
Best in my opinion
This interview is a bit awkward.
How come?
I agree, this interview fucking sucks. Everyone needs to know it jajajaja
It was amazing
Yeah yeah, how dis u meat ellufson in studio? Hmm, hmm, yop aight.
Hahaha got em
'We did the best we could with the budgets we had' - convenient that he forgets that they blew half the recording budget for Killing Is My Business on drugs, leaving them with much less to record it - which is why the production is so shit.
Sonk😅
These guys interviewing Chris are horrible at elaborating with Chris when hes dropping jems.
Great interview.
