Chris Poland is the reason why Dave Mustaine had to hire exemplary Talent every time he replaced a guitar player in Megadeth cuz no mediocre guitarist could play Chris Poland parts
@@CalebePriester Part of the "secret" is in the reverb and how he uses it to extend note length in a "ghostly" way. Pay attention if you haven't and you'll notice what I'm saying. It's the difference between average sounding and total muse. Many players would have held notes longer ignoring the verb instead of letting the verb enhance it and do its job. Another thing with this one is that he lets that long verb fill spaces where he may have otherwise put another note are repeated the same one. Essentially a type of ghost note. One of my favorite leads ever!
@@efebayraktar4431 Nice attempt, troll. Also, Mustaine himself admitted Chris Poland played 'circles around him' on guitar. Putting Hammett and Poland in the same sentence is a crime against the metal gods.
JAMES HETFIELD ......?.... get real you Fucken Pissy little brat BAHAHAHAHA!!! To try and mention any one of those hacks from that pop metal mainstream radio Bullshit Band compared to either of these guys..? is a joke
Haha, you have a point tbh... Dave's solos have so much anger whereas Poland's are very chill! Like 'em both, I also like that they both have different guitar tone!
I agree 100x over! Sometimes, I imagine how things would be if Poland's index finger worked like his other fingers do. I can't help but notice that he has more strength and dexterity in his pinky and ring finger than I do with all my functioning digits. He also inspires me (more than any other guitarist) to pick it up and play right now, the dude has way to much fun on that instrument for me to sit around very long and not try to play outside of my usual box, lol. Poland is undoubtedly underrated!
You’ve got to watch a video of Poland explaining his playing style and technique and just watch his hands, could be mimicked, but has to be near on impossible to replicate. Crazily talented, never hear him talked about in the guitar world. Such a shame.
Crazy Poland's solo are just motoring; Insane passages and tone just ripping it up. Mustaine's of course are agressive, fiery, and powerful. Both have great contrast making this album one of the all time greatest.
He also plays with great tone. You know it is him. For example "Peace Sell but who's buying" is a guitar masterpiece. You can easily distinguishe his solos to Mustaine's who also rips, and brought Jazz muscians like Gar and Chris aboard to achieve just that:-0!
Yeah, Friedman is incredible. I don't see Broderick to be in the same league as far as origiality then Poland and Friedman. However, Mustaine insists that he is the greatest player they ever had. Some of Mustain's solos do get redundant. He plays mostly in a pentaninc pattern , but has incredible texdarity allows him to do some really wide stretches. His solo in "Holy Wars" is a monster. "Wake up Dead" also has some of his great solos, especially the classical sounding bit during the Mosh part. He plays with so much balls and agression.
Absolutely, but this album was classic. The way Chris incorporated his jazz influence into his playing was incredible. Every other Guitarist after Poland all had great admiration to his unique style and said it was very hard to duplicate. Marty I thought also was tremendous. Jeff Young, Pitrelli, Drover, and Chris Broderick all are very talented but never had the same impact I thought as Poland and Friedman.
i love how on the wakeup dead it goes from daves sloppy raw sound and then imediatly u just get transfered into polands flawless clean beauty. so fucking good
@Mister Problematic Mustaine is sloppier compared to Poland, but mostly your hearing his pick. Dave prefers having a percussive element to his picking. His solo in good mourning/black Friday is pretty smooth.
Chris Poland has to be one of the most underrated guitarists in metal history. He absolutely tears it up on this album! Black Friday solo is ridiculous!
@El señor de la tienda Actually they were both fired. But I've often wondered what would have happened had they not both been hardcore junkies. It would have been scary to think how sick the music would have been.
This is my opinion their best lineup. Raw, aggresive, fast, and loud. Powerful to say the least. The solos are so ripping on both Mustaine and Poland's parts. You can hear the pick just blazing throught the passages, simply mindblowing. Back then their wasn't that much tasty soloing in thrash, this album was an exception.
@@jaumvituu3500 This Lineup was classic. Rust in Peace no doubt was an incredible lineup as well, but the rawness, aggression, hunger, and talent from all over I feel made this lineup so uniquic.
I miss this line up.. Man,this was the best thing since sliced bread in a can(wait,was that ever invented?)... But this was just the rawest Megadeth ever.... And technical as fuck
+metalsquirrelgamer Personally I think the sloppy "chaotic" style works well for thrash (in most cases). I personally think that some guitarists out there are *too clean* sometimes. Not sure if I'm making sense. In Dave's solos from this video, without the backing track, I feel like the chaotic style really gives his playing an edge. It's strange, since his rhythm work is almost always so tight and seemingly flawless, even on really complicated stuff. *shrug*
His best solos are all in here. Devil's Island, Wake Up Dead, My Last Words...basically all his solos in this album are brilliant. But Poland's are even better!
You want sloppy metal? Try grunge then. Anyway, I have no idea how Dave's solos sound that good on the record when they are so sloppy when soloed out. Masterful sound engineering I guess.
Chris was really let down by production. His tone wasn't ideal on this album and didn't showcase him properly. Can't help but notice Dave is also MUCH louder in the mix....but that's typical a typical Dave decision.
@@TAZ-iw4bt yeah, he says it, but he already played the conjuring after his "encounter with god", so I think it's not the reason why he don't play these songs anymore
@@chicoscience502just listened to it like 5 times in a row, thanks for bringing me back to this 😍 might just be my favourite guitar solo of all time, just unbelievable
It's funny how the dudes you watch often end up in the same comment sections as yourself, it's always so interesting to see first-hand how despite how big RUclips is, and how big the Metal community is, we all seem to end up in the same places.
The best megadeth combo IMO. Dave is raw energy, rough round the edges but totally engaging; Chris on the other hand is a pure silk gliding over the fretboard, so cool and totally mesmorising. Its a shame they only managed one album together. That being said , Jeff Young does some good work on SFSGSW.
The Bounder Chris did the Killing is my Business and the Peace Sells Album .... he came back in the 2000’s and did The System has Failed , With Megadeth .... you sound confused but now you know
this line up was thrash, not heavy metal, thrash at its very very best..... poland was the man... gar was to megadeth what lombardo was to slayer, fucking awsome...
@@warrengauthier4699 its his opinion dude, you can disagree with it, but you can't change it. You also have your opinion, as you just said. I agree with the comment bellow, but i also respect yours.
Peace Sells is so underrated. It's so well made in every way. Jazz, blues and metal mixed together! It's better than any thrash album that came out in the 80s. Period.
Hearing the solos, you get a real sense for just how good Megadeth's rhythm section was at keeping the guitars in time. Ellefson and Samuelson were heroes in their own rite and nobody realized it until now.
They are both so different ...but both so expressive in their own way...Dave may not be as technical ...but he always nails the vibe...and Chris Poland holy shit!!
You have to give Mustaine credit his solos are interesting, varied and pretty technical for someone of his age considering he was drunk /stoned or whatever. Poland is much smoother though...
Wow!Dave solos are perfect!Especially Wake up dead and My last words shredder!But I like chris solos too.Peace sells and 80's Megadeth albums are so underretad they are musical thrash metal bombs!
Both are very underrated players, Chris is absolutely underrated and Dave is a far greater solo player than many give him credit for. There is the proof right there.
I think that the first real line up-Dave, Junior, Poland, and Gar were musically more aggressive musically and more focused on proving themselves as a band so to say. Meanwhile, the Rust In Peace lineup was more about being melodic being compositionally dense. When describing Megadeth albums, Aggressive is the first word that comes to mind when I hear Peace Sells..., and dense when referring to Rust In Peace. I find that 'dense' fits best because the arrangements are the most complex across the board in metal, but complex sounds too 'proggy' / 'nerdy' (prog is not nerdy). I officially coined 'dense' as an adjective for RIP, so if anyone else uses it, they must cite me as a source.
Id say the only thing they were focused on was getting high and doing drugs, if they had any focus the line up wouldnt have fallen apart, then again dave is a cocksucker and is incapable of holding a steady lineup or hanging onto band members
Whenever a future Megadeth guitarist tries to play a Chris solo it just doesn't sound right at all. Only Poland himself can recreate the magic! Dave is also fantastic
0:00 Wake Up Dead (Dave Mustaine) 0:25 Wake Up Dead (Dave Mustaine) 0:36 Wake Up Dead (Chris Poland) 0:45 Wake Up Dead (Dave Mustaine) 1:19 The Conjuring (Dave Mustaine) 1:47 Peace Sells (Dave Mustaine) 1:55 Peace Sells (Chris Poland) 2:02 Peace Sells (Chris Poland) 2:06 Peace Sells (Chris Poland) 2:15 Peace Sells (Chris Poland) 2:22 Peace Sells (Dave Mustaine) 2:29 Peace Sells (Chris Poland) 2:43 Peace Sells (Chris Poland) 3:02 Devils Island (Dave Mustaine) 3:28 Devils Island (Dave Mustaine) 4:11 Devils Island (Chris Poland) 4:34 Good Morning / Black Friday (Chris Poland) 5:25 Good Morning / Black Friday (Dave Mustaine) 6:21 Good Morning / Black Friday (Chris Poland) 6:42 Bad Omen (Chris Poland) 6:58 Bad Omen (Dave Mustaine) 7:07 Bad Omen (Dave Mustaine) 7:31 My Last Words (Dave Mustaine)
Poland is so tasteful. The legato is so clean and the bends are so epic/unique. Dave getting two lead players as unique as Poland and Marty is like 1/1,000,000,000 chance.
Definetly Megadeths top soloing..My favourite has to be Mustaines last solo on this video, My last words. The whole album is a masterpiece, a thousand times better than anything Metallica brought out!
yeah i know, many people knows and say that dave is not so good with solos but listen to the music he play on this solos,it's kind of dark heavy metal it's so unique. anyway all solos in this album are amazing, and my favorite the last solo of ''Good mourning black friday.
The thing that truly makes this unique IMHO is obviously Chris's playing style AND the tuning of quarter step down because we haven't heard notes like this since. Awesome job with the upload!
This was actually my first time listening to Chris Poland and I wasn't sure if this guy was all that at first but now I underestimated myself, he is really great but I'm still learning more about the guy, so any favorite solo or live performance you guys have of this Chris guy? I was always a big fan of like Marty Friedman and Kiko and yeah they're both good definitely can't compare but I just need to check out Poland.
tbh i think he’s a bit overrated, however good mourning black friday intro solo is one of megadeth’s greatest achievements literally just listen to the song and the first 3 or 2 solos dave does after it’s weird he doesn’t play like that in his other solos. less is sorta more with chris poland ig.
@@blunderless right, chris didn't have a very long career with megadeth did he? what did he even do after that? did he ever make other music? solo projects? anything?
@@зот he did a few other projects but i think my only problem he plays very noodle-y. although i doubt many could noodle like him for as long as he did peace sells outro solo was pretty strong. i'd say peace sells and good mourning intro were his best.
Hearing these isolated tracks makes me feel a lot better about when I'm playing alone without the music and how it sounds. No doubt these guys are good but it really shows how the solo is tailored precisely for the musical accompaniment.
Kiko - Just an amazing guitarist nothing extremely special tho Marty - amazing technique and melody Chris B. - too much technique not a lot of soul Chris P. - Soul, technique, melody everything just fantastic

They made a great duo for sure trading licks. You knew exactly which was which by their styles. :)
I wouldn’t say sloppy because it’s not. It’s simple shredding and fast picking. Either way, it makes an amazing combination between him and Poland.

Poland still raises the hair in my neck. Such beauty and brutality in his playing.
this is where i come to cry
Hearing the solos, you get a real sense for just how good Megadeth's rhythm section was at keeping the guitars in time. Ellefson and Samuelson were heroes in their own rite and nobody realized it until now.
I'm pretty sure Dave did the solo at 2:10, him and Chris went back and forth. The tone sounds like Dave and the style of it
daves trashing speed and shred with polands melody and technicality is the perfect combo
Peace Sells is such an addictive album. Poland at the beginning of Black Friday really is beautiful. He was really amazing.
Chris Polands black friday solos make me want to cry, its so beautiful to my ears.
Chris Poland's command of his instrument is unreal.
They are both so different ...but both so expressive in their own way...Dave may not be as technical ...but he always nails the vibe...and Chris Poland holy shit!!
Poland's solo at 0:36 is my favorite. Short yet absloutely amazing
You have to give Mustaine credit his solos are interesting, varied and pretty technical for someone of his age considering he was drunk /stoned or whatever. Poland is much smoother though...
Oh Poland wasn't sober probably. Also Dave is a rhythm guitars as well
Chris Poland's playing is unparalleled. Mustaine is no slouch either. Friggin love this album
Jazz training + world music influence + metal context = Chris Poland

Fucking awesome! Out of all thrash metal bands, Megadeth had the best guitarists \m/
I definitely think peace Sells was Dave's best album for his solos. Super melodic
Melodic? Are you deaf?
This might be the greatest guitar metal record ever after listening to this. Both these guys in their prime. Damn.
There's a very haunting and sad quality to Chris' playing. Use of feedback in Good Mourning is just amazing.
Whenever a future Megadeth guitarist tries to play a Chris solo it just doesn't sound right at all. Only Poland himself can recreate the magic! Dave is also fantastic
Ben Higgins made a video emulating him, and its spot on. Check it out, dude.
Pitrelli got close imo. He is an outstanding player

Chris is just an amazing guitar player. Mustaine said himself, he can play circles around me.
Hands down the best jazz / metal player ever
Dave Mustaine did say that Chris "can play solos around me" so this is just wow. Makes me appreciate Megadeth even more.
face melted
If only Gar & Poland stay longer with Megadeth,I think that Megadeth would be the best band of all time.Shame just two masterpiece album with them
Chris was on there albums, if you count System Has Failed.
Poland was better than Mustaine. ..Dave always played those screeching two bottom string solos in every damn song. 😐💤
Cocaine is a he'll of a drug
@@waynewells359 Dave solos are my fav in that album not even close son.
@@Qthetar .. To each their own.
Chris Poland's playing is so unique and awesome. I've never heard anything like this.
The Peace Sells solos by Poland are iconic. That make that song what it is... damn.
Poland is so tasteful. The legato is so clean and the bends are so epic/unique. Dave getting two lead players as unique as Poland and Marty is like 1/1,000,000,000 chance.
In my opinion the best Megadeth guitarist of all.
That's not an opinion, that's a fact
Definetly Megadeths top soloing..My favourite has to be Mustaines last solo on this video, My last words. The whole album is a masterpiece, a thousand times better than anything Metallica brought out!
Why bring up Metallica
Mister Problematic can’t disagree
Metalli who?! Oh, the band that used to be!!! Lmao!!!!! MEGADETH RULES!!!🤘🤘🤘
@Mister Problematic Haha yup. Fanboys love triggering themselves. Their pre pubescent minds can't fathom any colors except black and white.
@@seanmowsthelawn9074 cuz you tallica fans boys are here that's why
I wonder how it must feel to be Polish while reading this comment section.
Why?
@@KM-sr71 Chris Poland
5:25 love this solo so much, easily my fav dave solo
Chris' soloing is impeccable. Fast, fluid, and clean AF.
That outro solo by Mustaine on Wake Up Dead is one of my favorite solos ever
This video makes me want to listen to the whole album
yeah i know, many people knows and say that dave is not so good with solos but listen to the music he play on this solos,it's kind of dark heavy metal it's so unique.
anyway all solos in this album are amazing, and my favorite the last solo of ''Good mourning black friday.
mustaine make incredible solos!!!!
My favourite is probably the first poland solo in peace sells, or the poland solo in the beginning of bad omen.
1:55
Poland is great, and I think this album is probably Mustaine at his best in terms of soloing, a lot of character in those licks!
Indeed, his latter attempts are kind of crappy :D
Anton St have you heard rust in peace or the system has failed or endgame? clearly not.
Poland's smooth legato is just so beautiful and unique.
The thing that truly makes this unique IMHO is obviously Chris's playing style AND the tuning of quarter step down because we haven't heard notes like this since. Awesome job with the upload!
peace sells had the best solos
Change My Mind.
chris poland is underrated
He is not underrated, Every Megadeth fan knows about him.
@@saredodevil bullshit.
@@saredodevil yeah cuz if not ur not a fan
This was actually my first time listening to Chris Poland and I wasn't sure if this guy was all that at first but now I underestimated myself, he is really great but I'm still learning more about the guy, so any favorite solo or live performance you guys have of this Chris guy? I was always a big fan of like Marty Friedman and Kiko and yeah they're both good definitely can't compare but I just need to check out Poland.
tbh i think he’s a bit overrated, however good mourning black friday intro solo is one of megadeth’s greatest achievements
literally just listen to the song and the first 3 or 2 solos dave does after
it’s weird he doesn’t play like that in his other solos. less is sorta more with chris poland ig.
@@blunderless right, chris didn't have a very long career with megadeth did he? what did he even do after that? did he ever make other music? solo projects? anything?
@@зот he did a few other projects but i think my only problem he plays very noodle-y. although i doubt many could noodle like him for as long as he did
peace sells outro solo was pretty strong. i'd say peace sells and good mourning intro were his best.
Hearing these isolated tracks makes me feel a lot better about when I'm playing alone without the music and how it sounds. No doubt these guys are good but it really shows how the solo is tailored precisely for the musical accompaniment.
I never paid attention to Chris but listening to his isolated tracks I am blown away! Damn!!
That harmonic at the end of the run at 4:50 is so damn tasteful
One of the ten best metal albums ever, thanks to the awesome musicianship and of course Mustaine's ingenuity
As good as Mustaine is, Poland's playing really stands out as pristine. Damn incredible! I'm going to learn this album.
Good Mourning/Black Friday! 🤘
Saw them at The Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. They found out that night that Peace Sells went gold! It was epic!!
chris poland was the best guitarist mustaine ever had, and marty of course
hmcccpp Yeet!
Or better yet combine Poland and Friedman and you've got what I like to call Kiko Loureiro.
Kiko - Just an amazing guitarist nothing extremely special tho
Marty - amazing technique and melody
Chris B. - too much technique not a lot of soul
Chris P. - Soul, technique, melody everything just fantastic
@@Mark-hr6uu Nah, Kiko is very exotic imo. Dystopia was awesome
Dystopia is awesome but Peace Sells is better
wow this album really showcases dave's signature aggressive style of lead playing
Wake up dead solos always get to me. So fucking good.
The solo at 2:09 is Dave
true i didnt notice
Holy shit...awesome to hear these solos like this!...Poland is just so ripping!!!!
Love Poland’s outra solo for “Peace Sells” it’s so fluid with amazing and unique tone.
