Pretty insane stuff. 1987 concert from San Francisco. Poland playing a Kahler'd RR with dot inlays. Some closeups around the 16 minute mark during Rattlehead.

I think that's the blue with pink bevels Student RR that Dave used for the studio parts of the In My Darkest Hour video.

Wow, a freshly added 70 minute MD concert on YT!

BTW I will be meeting with Chris soon to do a JCF Interview™

I've been debating whether to wing it, or to ask you guys Questions to ask Chris!

[Grandturk]

You better go prepared, Ron. This isn't a Rinky dink board you're representing here.

Make sure you ask him some new questions Racer X

He's super cool and very down to earth.

At least see if there is anything he knows about that RR. I agree with Toejam about it. Would be cool to know for the history.

A great player. Highly underrated. Can't wait for the interview.

Oh man, great find! I was trying to find some decent Peace era Megadeth vid, specifically for Poland. Such a great player! This must've been done not too long before Dave fired him and Gar.

Saw a good chunk of this vid. It looks like Poland rolls back the tone during his solos which makes for a more legato sound. Anyone else see this? At first I thought he was using the neck pu, but I can see him reach under the and dial back one of the knobs. That plus he picks over the neck alot during his solos. Check the 1 hour 8 min mark for his Black Friday solo at the end when he rolls it back up (I think). Also, that's a classic Spinal tap moment for Mustaine. His guitar conks out and he's got 2 techs working on the guitar while he's holding it singing!

BTW, how come no King V?

[catzodellamarina]

I was just listening to "Metalpolis" last month. I hooked up my old dual cassette deck and was enjoying old tapes. I thought I'd read once that he contributed to arcade/video game soundtracks in the 90's. If so, which games? Just curious. I trust it will be an awesome interview.

Not like a local radio station here.

A couple DJ's here have Eddie VH's number and call him now n' then only to ask dumb stuff. Eddie is such a talker and starved for attention, he gets sucked into these idiots' questions. Crap about Valerie, cars, DLR. Its all BS. They never ask Ed the guitarist about guitar playing.

[BayRocker]

Wow!! Didn't know there was video of this show. I was there. Saw em again in '88 opening for DIO. Ahhh, the good ole days.

[MetalMedal II]

Speaking of '88, here's another new youtube upload of a January 1988 show, 6 months after the earlier posted, with a brand new band, save for the Daves. The King V is here.

BTW, how can youtube upload such long vids now?

OT: picked up a book by Mustain the other day and read through it. I confess, Megadeth Rust in Piece was always a masterpiece for me, so I was curious what is the personality behind the music. But the book pretty much left me with the question:
- is the guy OK mentally?
- as he as consumed by narcissism as it comes across in the book?
- overall, it left me with the impression that the guy is smart and talented, and really really shallow at the same time. A lousy person as well.

I remember one of those videos where he is talking about Metallica and he is like "Metallica, no i never think about them anymore...Metallica are the ones regretting it every day, i have nothing to prove to Metallica, we are cool, the Metallica motherfuckers shouldn't have kicked me but my band is better than Metallica, i am an extremely successful guitarist and really Metallica is the last thing that's in my mind these days... i'm tottaly over Metallica."
