I was fortunate to see Chris Poland play live in Megadeth back on the Peace Sells tour. That was also with Gar. Incredible band.
Brilliant guitarist!!! It’s a shame he only played on that one album. Dave treated him pretty unfairly back in that 1988 period he was in the band.
The story i heard was Jeff was screwing around with Diana," Dave's " girl at the time and thats why he was on 1 album. But the 1 he was on is in my top 3 Megadeth albums
@@jkbearhunterJeff has always unequivocally said it's not true
@@emt5330 I read that Dave was simply jealous of Jeff's charm and looks, and afraid that he might get into Dave's gilrfriend's pants.
Amazing how many brilliant musicians have been in Megadeth, Jeff Young included
yeah people forget that al pitrelli was in the band, his playing is crazy.
On THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO? ( Al Pitrelli).
I think that is the name of it, I had bounced on Megadeth at that point, saw them in the late 90's with Marty and just wasnt feeling the material at that point. It was UNITED ABOMINATIONS that had me do a huge head turn, " oh my God that's good! Megadeth is back!"
Thank goodness fate stepped in to let me hear that album or I would have never given them the thought to check it out.
@@saltpeter7429 13 is also great
IN MY DARKEST HOUR 에서 JEFF YOUNG의 솔로 연주는 최고입니다.
Saw them live on “So far so good..” opening for DIO in Phoenix and Dave would just go backstage mid song and then come back, obviously doing drugs and obviously High AF! It was a trip watching it. Surprised Dave and David even survived that tour.
I knew Dave was lying. I loved So Far... Jeff kicked ass all over that LP. I saw them open for Dio with Jeff Young and he kicked ass live. I'm was was happy to see him in the comment section on Ola Englund goes over Megadeth's work and got to thank Jeff for that night that steered me towards playing music. So glad to find all this out. Thanks Jeff Young & Full In Bloom.
I saw that tour too. When they opened for Dio. In fact, if I remember correctly it was on New Years Eve 1987 going into 1988. At Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in New York.
It was sold out! And the crowd was loud!
@@frankferriolo9212 That must've been cool on New Year's Eve! I saw them at The San Diego Sports Arena and you're right; that was my 87-88 9th grade school year. I'm almost sure it was in 87'(show I saw). I saw Dio again on the 2nd leg of Sacred Heart with Accept. This time Craig Goldy(San Diego native too)was on guitar for Dio & it was like a homecoming for Craig. Accept was great, vintage Accept with Udo supporting Russian Roulette(I dig that LP). Dio sure picked some winners with the support slot.
Knew how? Jeff could be right, but acting like you knew anything when you're not in the band is funny. Two sides to every story.
@@GL.Sorrell educated guess. "I knew it" is just a saying. Being a longtime fan and hearing the same ol' shite from Dave made me come to my educated guess as well as having a new lead guitarist every 2-5 years and it always being the departeds fault. You can believe what you want.
@@roymartin500 I don't believe anything really, not even Dave 😂 Again, I wasn't there and sure as hell not gonna believe anyone who still has a stick up their bum like Jeff, there's no objectivity there
Poland has one of the hardest styles to copy. His bending is in a realm of it's own and his note choices are unique for what he's playing over. If you can copy him and sound good you are good.. Jeff is great too, would have liked to hear more of him with Megadeth.
Jeff wrote great columns in Guitar For The Practicing Musician and other magazines
I remember that, I've still got most of my gftpm copies, it was a great magazine.
@@aquabot I had like 8 years worth of em but I left em in my dad's basement for 6 months and they got ruined in a flood
@@bobowrathsovine. Sorry to read that. They were so good.
Full In Bloom crushing it as always. Can’t wait to hear the entire interview.
I love Dave Mustaine but he should really make peace with all of these guys that played in the band. He wanted Metallica to make amends with him for so long yet he hasn't done it with his own old bandmates, and he's the one that's supposedly a Christian.
Mustaine isn't anything great at all.
@@elliotthalsey2810 you’re not being fair to Dave. He’s a brilliant guitarist and he was ahead of the curve in so many regards. When most guitarists of that genre were playing power chords, he was playing full bar chords. And if he didn’t invent the spider chord, he certainly put it on the map. He also got the Metallica gig while warming up. It didn’t even turn into a full audition. It may not seem like it now because of the progress made with the instrument but there’s a reason why he is still relevant today, 40 years later.
@@hypnagogicjerk seen him plenty of times, love the early stuff. He's gone through too many people, bands have to gel to survive the test of time
The music product suffers from too much turnover, eventually.
Dave is a narcissist he only makes peace with himself. He's also a born again hypocrite.
Christian my ass. He's a fake Christian like all the other Trump supporters. Hypocrites.
Jeff is a super cool guy doing his own thing. I played in a band in Vegas a few years ago it was a birthday gig for Dale Bazzio. Jeff was super nice and did his own set I would work with him without hesitation before I would Dave. Jeff is a great guitarist and deserves to be recognized for his talent.
Jeff Young is correct ! Mustaine has bad mouthed about every former member . It speaks volumes that the guy was kicked out out of Metallica , and then in Megadeth has gone threw at least 6 different lead guitarist , and can't get along with David Ellefeson . It's obvious it's not everyone else .. it's him .
No wonder Mustaine likes Donald Trump. smdh
Jeff is bad mouthing too, but you choose to ignore that 😂 Ironic how Jeff Young and his little fans like you still try throwing pebbles, Mustaine doesn't even talk about him anymore. Speaks volumes
@@GL.Sorrell You assume too much ... i'am not one of his little fans .. lol i haven't even been into Megadeth in 20 years . I just would trust Jeff Young over Mustaine in a heartbeat ! because Mustaine has been a double talker his whole career . He goes back and fourth on Marty Friedman , Al Pitrelli , Jimmy Degrasso , Ellfeson , Lars , and the late Nick Menza . One minute these guys are the best players he's ever worked with .. the next they were never that great for the band . The guy can't separate his "personal" feelings about them as people , from how talented they were as musicians . That's why nothing he says is worth anything ... because he lives on emotion like a child .
@@SJ-ty5rw Listen to yourself, you care too much 😂 find something better to do
@@GL.Sorrell What no second chance? Boo hoo, Dave is such a dick.
Another Epically Classic “Full In Bloom”
I love Jeff's work on sfsgsw and another thing to mention he was the only guitarist out of all megadeth guitarists he was the only one that could nail a chris poland solo and that alone speaks for itself
I have the word overrated, but when I think about Marty Friedman, I can't help to think about it lol.
Jeff has some Great Stories!
I really like Jeff Young. Fantastic player and he seems like a solid dude. I'm a huge Megadeth fan, hate hearing bad things about Dave because I love his songwriting and playing, but it does seem that he might be slightly toxic.
I love these interviews 👍🏻
did a talent show in 8th grade with Jeff Young . We did Black Diamond from Kiss. Full makeup , we made our own costumes , and used a aerosol can with a lighter to imitate Genes fire breathing. lmao just thinking about it now.
hey Jack! LOL nice to see you here!
Did you win or get suspended? Or BOTH haha.
good times Jeff. thinking back, you were the person who got me into Kiss , which lead to a love for guitar . thanks man🤘🏼🤘🏼 hope you are well
neither , but were strongly asked not to use the can of hairspray for our pyrotechnics again. lmfao
@@johnfinlay4963 As someone born in '73, I say this completely unironically: Rad!
You get the great interviewee's because your an awesome interviewer man, in a world of mundane rubbish you bring real entertainment to this stuff. Thanks for keeping it alive for us FIB
I appreciate that, Majin Blood.
It's a shame so many entertainers are messed up on drugs. 😔
THATS True ... But also dont forget a LOT of em get loads of inspiration because of it. Giving them a False Charismatic Energy too.... And THEN its a difficult road back. Verry Few manage ( i.e. Glenn Hughes)
I appreciate this clip, answers many unknown questions!!! Thanks🤘🤘🤘🤘
That's the thing: some comments are like "this happened XX years ago!" Yeah, but we didn't know about it, so it's revealing and interesting, and it's like putting the pieces together after the fact. Not like YT was a thing when SFSGSW came out. If they didn't print the story in "Circus" or "Kerrang", you didn't know WTF.
Chris Poland set the bar so high on the first to Mega albums that anyone who followed had to be one hell of a string slinger. Jeff was awesome. Still is. And he's grown a lot as a musician. Marty was awesome, Broderick was great, and Kiko too.
Don't forget Glen Drover!!!
@@Boudica234 Glen was the best lead player they had
@@chrischoir3594 It's so hard to rate one guy over the others. Megadeth's lead guitarists were ALL phenomenal players. U have to give Dave credit. Although he was a self absorbed asshole for most of his career he sure as hell surrounded himself with the very best musicians. I will say that Glen's playing on That One Night in Argentina was so fucking good. One of my all time fav Megadeth concerts.
@@Boudica234 Well Dave writes all the songs so he bakes the cake, all these shredder guitar players are just icing on the cake.
@@chrischoir3594 That's true. But damn that icing is good. Can u imagine Kirk Hammett trying to play those solos? I get nightmares just thinking about it.
Dave's got to be impossible. I love Megadeth, but its one of those situations where I have to compartmentalize the music from the man. Behind you all the way Jeff. You killed it then and you're killing it now.
Yeah hes killing it playing megadeth covers lmao. Dave is a legend while this dude is a nobody
Thanks
Eye opener. This was fresh !
Nothing will ever repeat LA In the 80's on the sunset strip for metal, what a time and party !
Great video. The first time I saw Megadeth was on the So Far So Good tour with Warlock and Sanctuary. Jeff was awesome. It must be difficult to be in a band with Mustaine, let alone the lead guitar player. Keep at it Jeff.
I feel for Jeff, obviously he's hurt that he got screwed out of Marty Friedmans legendary status due to Mustaine's strung out junkie madness. Jeff is no.3 in my book anyday
@full in bloom Finally we get to put a face to all the incredible interviews you have done! If you ever make it out to Las Vegas NV I will buy you a beer sometime. 😁
Wait, somebody's face got involved? As always, thanks for listening, Mr. Logic Pants. When I make it to Vegas, we should definitely have that beer....or seven.
Chris and Jeff were the best.
Megadeth never toured Australia for S.F.S.G.S.W, it was cancelled, they never ever made it to Australian shores. I still have a photocopy of the ticket stub I had to return for a refund, their first tour Down Under was for Rust in Peace.
That had to really suck for you. I remember a couple of time I bought tickets to a show and yanked at the last minute.
Yep I went and saw them at Virgin Megastore in Bourke St, Melbourne for RIP
mustaine was crazy for letting Young and Chuck slip through his fingers. The next lineup was great too but Jeffs solos are tasty.
Marty never really fit the band's image, IMO. Seemed out of place.
@@ryanjacobson2508 true, especially towards the end. He looks like someones dad at 99 woodstock lol it is crazy tho how he apparently wanted their sound to shift to extreme metal according to dave.
Jeff’s solos are AWESOME on that album. So fluid and melodic. Perfect counterpoint to Mustaine’s frenzy.
@@steelerfreak1977 its so good, especially because chuck is frenzy too. Jeff is like the vinnie vincent of Megadeth, helped revive the band but was only around for a little bit because of other band members egos.
@@ryanjacobson2508 Whats ironic is Mustaine once said about Marty , that if him and Al Pitrelli had auditioned the same day , he would have picked Al over Marty as his style fit better . Then later said Pitrelli was a good "temporary" player but certainly no Marty Friedman !! i swear Mustaine is one of the biggest double talkers ever .
Thanks for another interesting video
Wow,, Great interview Crazy..
Eye opening !!!!!
Saw this band live in 1988 and the band was so in the pocket .. Chuck was very very good live.
Chuck's small details throughout the album are a delight, for someone who enjoys drums as a creative instrument, not just the technicality and speed. Which are also there.
Awesome dude from my hometown! Got to see him play with Megadeth opening for Maiden when GNR had to cancel the opening slot with Axls voice issues.
the only reason why im paying more attention to SFSGSW than what im used to is Jeff Young. He's in my top 3.
5-1-22
Megadeth was/is my favorite metal band, since I was a little boy. I have to say that Chris Poland and Jeff Young, were my favorite second guitarists in that band. Many people like to throw in Marty as best that the band had. Not a knock against Marty, but I like Chris and Jeff's playing a lot better. Poland and Young are incredibly underrated guitarists/musicians.
Agreed. Marty was technically great, and a skilled player in his own right, but in terms of a guy that matches the band style and dynamic, the original Megadeth lineup had it all: two jazz guys in Chris and Gar, angry freaking Dave, and his loyal sidekick Dave junior (as he was insultingly referred to at the time). Peace Sells is an utter masterpiece / masterclass in thrash guitar. And SFSGSW was the next phase when they kicked half the junkies out of the band (actually, not sure about Chuck, maybe they traded one for one there?). Rust in Peace is kind of the pinnacle of their technical playing, but the stuff with Chris and Gar, well, swung a little more. And Jeff Young didn't get his due, those solos are freaking good, elevates SFSGSW.
So Far, So Good...So What! is my personal favorite Megadeth album.
The riffs on Mary Jane are astounding.
Jeff was always kool and a smokin guitarist for the band, very fluid and musical.
I met these guys at Sam's Jams in Ferndale,Mi for SO FAR SO GOOD, and they were all very cool. EXCEPT DAVE. We brought about ten of us... Five dudes five girls and we had Laura Ryder with us, a premiere specimen-- we all got autographs and cool convo with you guys and Dave M tells Laura Ryder- "ok move along bitch" and he flipped on us that quick. We weren't star struck or nothing like that. In fact we all had badass cars and we were the "powder guys" from Roseville. We had our OWN rockstar shit going on. I will never forget that. Jeff, Ellefson, and Chuck were cool as fuck. Dave's a Dick. I think we might be had an ounce between us ready and available just in case...but Dave blew it. (Drug free for me going on a decade now...)...Hey, side note- we used to meet up sometimes with Chuck Behler at Detroit shows just by coincidence and we had a few good convos, like one time at Testament, Savatage,Wrathchild America(flint capital theater) and he never even talked about Megadeth- he was back with the Meanies I think right before they took off to Cali. Anyway he didn't give a fuck about Megadeth-He never said a word about it.
Anyway, I liked that album you were on ALOT.
Yess, Jeff Young was the best at playing Poland's solos, he has all the right to say that.
Always loved Jeff Young, brilliant guitar player.
Pretty much the same story of what Chris Holmes said of Blackie Lawless/W.A.S.P. "It became a "One Man Show".
Jeff did a great job on Chris Poland licks. Hard style to mimic!
Interesting. My first concert was Megadeth with Jeff Young and Chuck Behler. Too bad they never started another band together.
Where can we listen to the full interview?
I've met quite a few musicians who were famous when I worked at a casino/resort years ago . I met all different types, Merle Haggard, Tom Jones, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Ted Nugent, Vince Gill , Eddie Money, Joan Jett, etc I only mention the ones I had a pleasant experience with. I had an opportunity to meet Mustaine and decided not to because he looked ill or strung out and generally had an aura of unpleasantness. I dig those early Megadeth records though .
Jeff Young a talented class act , keeps it real
good, I've always hoped the rumor Jeff slept with Dave's fiancee wasn't true. I've always loved Jeff's playing on SFSGSW
Dave was always talking crap. He’s also said that he didn’t really sleep with her but said he wanted to have sex with her and Dave also said that Jeff was jealous because he fucked Doro and Jeff was in love with her.
I had a NDE experience many years ago. I developed a big interest from that experience on listening to others that had an NDE experience too. There is a common thread...It's not what you did or accomplished that matters. It's "HOW DID YOU TREAT OTHERS". In this hard core school, It's about how you treated others under various circumstances and situations that matters the most. Just saying how we treat each other is very meaningful here and there.
Do you think there's life after death? Been wrestling with an existential crisis lately
Damn, I was still listening to Led Zeppelin all through the 80’s while all this was going on. I couldnt wrap my head around Poison much less Metallica and Megadeath.
I was all like:
“You mean to tell me from
Disraeli Gears to Abbey Road to Dark Side Of The Moon to Physical Graffiti to … Look What The Cat Dragged In!?!!? Clearly one of these things is NOT like the others!!”
lol. I was listening to Slayer and Exodus in 1987. The heavier the better.
Jeff young is probably one of the best guitarist of Megadeth. Really underrated
So Far,So Good rocks, still
Chris is one of those guitarist you may manage to learn his shit note for note but your still not going to sound like him his chaotic style and technique and the way his bends are so eclectic yet smooth, your just not going to replicate that, I don't care who you are.
Refreshing perspective on Mustaine. In “The Decline of Western Civilization pt. 2,” Mustaine preaches anti-drug rhetoric, but even in his book, he talked about being strung out through most of that period.
Did you ever think he "preached anti-drug rhetoric" because he didn't want people, especially metal kids, to face the same addictions as him? Partaking in something doesn't mean you want to glorify it, like other bands did
I'm not surprised at this.
"shift the blame", gaslighting, making shit up. Mustaine's default mode. Dipass will never change.
True why would the new guy in the band have that power
I always wondered what the true story was concerning Jeff. I read so many conflicting stories from Mr. Mustaine. I loved so far so good so what. I thought Jeff's solos were terrific! Even now, I think the way the Megadeth camp immediately distanced themselves from Dave Ellefson was almost as embarrassing as what Dave E. actually did.
So according to Dave, Jeff caused the cancelation of a tour but Dave didn't fire him? It was only after he hit on his fiancé? Sure Dave, lol.
Ellefson also caused a tour to be cancelled (its covered in VH1 behind the Music...) There are VERY few people who've been in and out of Megadeth who come off as well balanced people. Mustaine has his issues, but so do all the others...
@@ObsidianLife Ellefson was an original member, best friends with Dave. Jeff was a last minute replacement. We all know how forgiving Dave is, lol. There's literally been over 30 members of Megadeth. Does Dave really seem to like the type who would let this slide?
Saw Jeff on the sfsgsw tour .. 100% straight and 100% in the pocket. His solos were pitched perfect and Young was an amazing soloist - I prefer him to Marty. His solos were so melodic.
mr bloom you said you saw this lineup on tour. How tight was their playing?
Jeff and Megadeth were unbelievable. It was also quite a lineup: Dio, Megadeth, and Savatage, who were on their Hall of the Mountain King tour.
@@fullinbloom Thats so epic, have you seen every lineup of the band? also idk if youve ever done an interview with shawn drover or chris broderick but those would be very interesting to hear. The therapy line was so correct haha
I also saw this tour in Bloomington, MN. I was 17 at the time so I don't remember it being anything but awesome.
@@fullinbloom Wow!!!
I saw this tour also, a great triple bill and Dio was probably the weakest. This was a great lineup with Megadeth but I will always choose the original band. I was lucky enough to see the original lineup a couple of times, even met Gar Samuelson and got his autograph. The first time I saw them Chris Poland played a lot of the solos, the next time I saw them Mustaine was doing more solos. They were amazing and it was in a club in Providence RI called the Living Room. I got to see Megadeth at least 5 times from 1986-1989.
It is a shame that many of these guys haven't been able to make (or maintain) peace over the years. For Mustaine's part, it's interesting, because he clearly has over the years reached out to guys and wanted to keep them involved in legacy type stuff. Yet, it ends poorly so often that it can be really hard to know who to believe in all these back and forths. I generally think Dave is honest and has good intentions but 1. Being that he was high so often in the old days, it's def possible his memories are imperfect. 2. He does seem to have some control or jealousy or anger issues. 3. He's kinda forthcoming and honest about his opinions to a fault.
But yeah, Poland, Young, Menza, Ellefson... they've all had ups and downs. But like I said, I still give credit to Dave for the times he has admitted his faults and made some effort to reach out. The very fact that he's actually kinda on better terms w the Metallica guys these days makes me very happy.
I saw them on this tour. As soon as they came out, Mustaine said he had the flu and likely wouldn't be singing the entire time. He apologised blah, blah. Then, since my friends and I were so close to the stage we were practically onstage, we could see backstage. There was just a black curtain up. We say some guy playing guitar back there. Headbanging and the whole 9 yards. Pretty sure it was someone playing Dave's guitar parts. He couldn't have been playing anything else. It was too loud for him to have just been playing for the hell of it. The show overall was horrible. The first band, I don't even know who they were, so I didn't know any of the songs and people were chanting Megadeth the entire time they were out there. Dio was headlining and his show was alright. I'd already saw him a few times by then and I think that he was touring the Sacred Heart album. Actually left early and disappointed. Reflecting on it though, it was a good experience to see them then. That line up was only together for a brief time. Seems like Jeff did well, but I was big into the Poland/Samuelson era. That was my experience with that line up and that tour. Dave didn't lie. He sang some, but spent most of the time just banging his head and facing the drums, and or the direction of the man behind the curtain playing. Saw them in a town full of drugs, I had drugs on me. I have my own band that tours extensively now. Been touring since 1992. I don't understand how you run out of drugs. There's a network to which you can get anything you want. Back when we started, we didn't know and we all had habits of varying degrees, but we learned early to send an advance crew person to get places a day ahead of us and never didn't have dope. Now the people that work the venues can get you sorted as soon as you get into town. Even in Russia and China and some other countries where it's like you get the death penalty for drugs. So I'm not sure if Dave was really ill with flu, or dope sick. I think he may have really had the flu because being dope sick is a million times worse. Can't even get out of bed except you must, because with withdrawal, you're shitting liquid every 5 minutes and vomiting. Sneezing is also one of my more bizarre symptoms, but sneezing 10 times in a row or something. It's awful.
The sneezing and yawning 😂 Awful shit, so glad I got away from it .
@@bogrot69 You have sneezing fits too? Finally someone that shares that. Perhaps it's a British thing. Every sneeze you risk shitting yourself. It's terrible. 😂🇬🇧🇪🇺
@@brettanderson7832 😂😂 I could tell I was getting better as the number of consecutive sneezes gradually went down 😂
Everyone's cool but one person... classic.
Things are real when you start bringing up herpes
I went to Gigantour in 2005 in Kansas City. It was a bunch of shity bands that would play for like 20 minutes and then it would be like 35 minutes for the next band setup. Then for some reason Overkill is playing at like 4 in the afternoon and completely crushing it for like five songs. Then they're done and the sad thing is a lot of people work out buying merch not even watching the show. I forced my way all the way to the front of the stage and was close enough to high-five Bobby Blitz. There was maybe two or three hundred people there for Overkill. Then when we were done it was a bunch of other shity bands it never went anywhere and then eventually Lamb of God and Megadeth. Lamb of God is okay but who the hell thought it was a good idea to put overkill on in the middle of the day on a Thursday? In my mind Overkill plays an hour and 15 minutes and Megadeth plays an hour and 45 minutes and there's your $75 concert ticket right there. Benefactor in another $75 for a t-shirt or two and maybe a couple of Beverages and some popcorn or maybe a hot dog. You bring your chick to that that's a good night right there
Well ..Kiko Loureiro is a Damn Good guitar player...I Wish him Luck 😎
Jeff Young totally underrated musician !
Dave and Jeff are both amazing guitarists but I believe Mr.Young is 1000% right on this. Its quite the stinky truth bomb for Dave, and I feel bad that Jeff has had his career fucked over by Mustaine. How much money does the guy really need? Jeff deserves some of that Megadeth pie just as much as any other former member.
Wow. I love Jeff Young...shit. Man he for me is head to head with Poland for #2 spot of all time guitarists for Megadeth.
I know, I know...Poland is a guitarists guitarist. I mean, the best players say hes the best BUT...there's a little thing called creativity, heart and soul and I know and agree Polands solos were above Killer but that one album that Jeff got to show us..SO Far So Good So What...Some of the best soloing Ive ever heard. Its weird though, cos Marty was a step above both of them. Marty was writing solos that were not only memorable but took them off into their own thing. Like a song within a song. Anyway, Chris got to do two albums which doubles the effect and impression we get.
I still admire Dave. Just would never be in a band with him.
Let's see Ellefson, Young, Behler, Poland in a band touring the first 3 albums .. Who could we get on vocals ?
James hetfield
So Jeff Young is the one who looks like if John Travolta joined a metal band? This is no disrespect, I just always thought that since my first purchase of the CASSETTE of So Far, So Good, So What, which is an amazing album when I picked it up in 1990
If Mustaine hadn’t of cleaned his life up he’d been dead a long time ago ☠️
Huge fan of Young and Polands work in the band
Dave is still wondering why he was kicked out of Metallica and not given a second chance. I like Dave but he's always been a pain.
Dave has made peace with people. Those people need to realize he's not that person anymore and move on.
A therapy group hahaha sounds about right. I've always been a huge fan tho
Now we wait for Dave’s response. 🙄.
Would anyone know who Jeff was if it wasn't for Dave? I think Dave apologized. Jeff was even on the SoFar remixing.
I met a dude at a pub. And told him it looked like this person had it with mustaine. He replied. Who hasn't had it with dave
Love Megadeth's music and Mustaine is a genius. But also a horrible human being, clearly.
I definitely sense "patterns" of a certain personality type. After enough time its humorous. Probably not if you are in a band with him though, lol. I have Mustaine's biography, it's good, but it has a ton of blame shifting while simultaneously trying to appear somewhat humble.
In the end what would we do without him?
He is the "Tornado of Souls" to which musicians who join Megadeth must contend.
Great band. Still going strong.
Mustaine can definitely be a jackass but its not like everyone else was an angel. Mustaine actually has given Young props over a few things and Young always comes out attacking him...I SERIOUSLY doubt Mustaine has the power to prevent Young from getting other gigs...
I honestly don't care about these types of stories anymore. It's gotten so old and being a tour manager for a labeled band I've heard it all.
Dave is a big mouth like Lars. And they both love the limelight.
Lars is aspirational, DM is just bs artist.
@@plunderpunk2
I gotta give Mustaine credit…
Lars is reliant on James to operate and keep Metallica alive. As where Dave is an actual visionary and songwriter all on his own merit. Lars hit the lottery finding James. But Mustaine is a true survivor and success story.
We all know Mustaine has a bad reputation for treating others poorly. Although much of his past was spent as a terrible alcoholic and drug addict from a troubled childhood.
interesting claims
Dr Ogoh.. Just at the point when I have given up because of my Herpes Virus which I have had for years now, I was Recommended to Dr Ogoh and today my Hope is back
Jeff Young (for me) was kinda the forgotten guitar player in Megadeth ya know....The guy that ya just think, "What ever happened with THAT dude?" ever once in awhile......And to see this pop up , wow 😶 ...NOT saprizing, (with Mustane's past addictions). Now I know.... GREAT album too . Guess I need ta see what happened to the drummer now, as well. Lol . Rock ON! 🤘😎🤘
All due respect by the way, I meant no ill will in my previous comment about him being a jerk to me, I think he thought I was just some Megadeth fanboy. Truth be told, he and Marty were my favorite lead players in the band. I really enjoyed Jeff's melodies he threw in with his solos
If you think about what was just said and you look back at Mustaine getting kicked out of Metallica and the wreckage of his life even kicking out Dave Ellefson someone who was a brother to him, ya gotta wonder does he even like himself? Or is he just a paranoid man and insecure about everything and everyone? As usual Full In Bloom knocking it out of the park. What a good dude Jeff seems to be.
Thanks for listening, James.
Love Mustaine, and Jeff Young, along with Marty, Chris, Glenn, a Poland. But Dave is full of piss, and venom, and is a hypocrite. But a talented guitar player, and song writer.
I love Dave christian or not. 💖😊
Jeff Young seems like a professional musician
There are many celebrities that can make great music , art and literature...it doesn't mean they are good people . I imagine being a so-called star is prime fertilizer ( sh!t ) for breeding assholes . Love the music , the art and literature not necessarily the one who created it . PK
Mega Dave's Mega Ego makes Megadeth a rough experience. Kiko will be the next to find this out.
Jeff young seems like a good guitar player but his impact on megadeth was minimal in terms of being unique in my opinion. Poland and friedman really had a quirk about their playing. Having said that it’s probably because young seemed to be drafted in to play the solos and learn songs. Another album with him would have been interesting. Seems like it was daves worst period for being a drugged out asshat too!
Agreed. He's a talented guy but I don't think he was a good fit. In fairness, as you pointed out, he was came in very late to the album. The songwriting isn't as good as it had been which falls on Dave.
Blaming the sound guy at every show!
It's amazing how no one who shared a stage or time in the studio with Mustaine has ever told a story about him that makes him look like a good person. Not even a "Yeah, Mustaine bought me lunch that one time. That was nice." Nothing. But I guess the entire world is wrong and Dave is just a victim. 🙄
Actually LOTS of people give Mustaine props and like him. The bad press gets the most attention because Mustaine has a rep and CAN be a jerk. It's also funny that no matter WHAT the others did (From Menza faking Cancer, to Gar selling gear for Heroin, to Ellefson going barely legal) everything is Mustaine's fault, apparently.
Truth...lol
