Nick is literally a metronome and it ain’t easy to play like that especially in metal you have to be really strong especially your legs he makes it look so effortless R.I.P.
He was an amazingly real down to earth dude …no bullshit attitude with anyone..especially us fans …No over the top Ego or Celebrity entitlement….chatted with him lots right up till that night…day after my Bday…still lookin for some kinda reason …he was playing like he did when he was 21…at 51…never missed a beat he didn’t mean to….ever!!…and hit so hard with wicked fast precision …and Loved his family and us fans more than we knew. His playing…to me is instantly recognizable from anyone …he is a str8-up Hero in a lot of ways…and just kept giving us his all till the end…Thanx Nick…”Your just RAD man!! 💯😎
No he was not. Compared to Menza, he was lacking the dynamics so needed for Megadeth thrashy heavy metal. And was playing a lot of fills differently at the expense of songs played live. Can be heard on that Live album with DeGrasso.
His drumming before the middle solo is just fucking amazing man. He is one of the few drummer that can add tasteful touch and little groove/swing to harsh ass metal drum lines man so he is kinda underrated for sure.
Un baterista exquisito, refinado, podías hasta tararear lo que tocaba. Un distinto sin dudas. Hay bateristas que pueden tocar mas agresivo o rápido. Pero Menza era la dosis justa de agresividad y ritmica que muy pocos bateristas tienen. Gracias a Dios lo ví tocar dos veces en vivo y no pude olvidarme jamás del ritmo y esa delicada fuerza que le daba un sabor distinto a las canciones de Megadeth. Nunca jamás nadie pudo tocar como él.
Rust in Peace, Menza! What a man to have behind the kit. Metallica probably shit their pants when they heard Rust for the first time (and I’m a huge fan of them, especially AJFA...)

Some people can simply wake up one day and without warning decide they wanna be a drummer for a top notch metal band and go find the group get hired and emediately bring the style, the look, the skills and of course some pioneering some good shit along the way..... all the while remain one very cool cat. That would be Nick. Resistance to acknowledge it is futile. Fan forever.
Man, watching him play double bass drums on Peace Sells makes me wonder (amd I’ll have to look it up) what bass pedals he used. Such speed. I noticed his foot is is low on the left one in the clip.
have you seen the videos of dirk playing some of the songs from the first 2 albums, he nails all of them and plays them exactly like gar. you can appreciate menza without degrading another amazing drummer

I can't drum to save myself 🥁 but I just wanna know how the fuck drummers have so much energy to drum thru a whole concert..🥁⚡ I think I'd be fkde halfway through the first song 👀 lols
muchas gracias por subir, fue, es y sera el mejor de todos.

@Jurgen Cuypers all drummers aren't as special as menza
I was at the Seattle show. Nick threw a drumstick out in the crowd and I Caught it.. Says Megadeth on it and has Nick Menza on it….
This was Nick's office.
Nick was a god!!
RIP
Amen brother

Well said, congrats on getting to hang with the man himself. Rust in Peace, Menza!
Ya, definitely 1 of a kind
Nick damm GOOD..🤘
Power and Original ..
Rest In Heaven Brother..
Unforgettable best drummer That Megadeth never had..
You Always Rules Nick..🌹
Jimmy DeGrasso was the best drummer Megadeth has ever had.
No he was not. Compared to Menza, he was lacking the dynamics so needed for Megadeth thrashy heavy metal. And was playing a lot of fills differently at the expense of songs played live. Can be heard on that Live album with DeGrasso.
His drumming before the middle solo is just fucking amazing man. He is one of the few drummer that can add tasteful touch and little groove/swing to harsh ass metal drum lines man so he is kinda underrated for sure.
The original was in that spirit, Gar was Billy Cobham / Keith Moon in thrash

Always thought he was fuckin awesome. Great inspiration to all metal drummers out there.
Nick rip !
Was definitely one of the Top American MetaL Thrash Drummers-And will Always Be Remembered!!
Amazing sound
Great drummer.i miss his drumming evev now
My motivation for playing drums
It is very good for videotape! I am sure it was overdubbed with the soundboard feed.

Habiendo tantos monstruos en la batería.. pero NICK era una bestia un estilo unico que hasta el día de hoy no pudo encontrar nunca el Colorado💪💪👍
Nick was pure energy!!!
phenomenal. hitting hard .....
I still think those suspended cymbals that constantly move is the coolest thing ever. RIP Nick ❤️
He was a killer on the drums, little man but a Beast!
Damn,,...Lazer accuracy. Saw this tour back in the day ..Phoenix AZ..amazing drummer 😊

His power and precision here is unfathomable
When it comes to metal drumming, it doesn't get any better than this.
Best drumkit of all tine imo. Great sound too, must be direct from sound board. RIP Nick Menza absolute beast on the sticks
Menza extraordinario ❤el mejor baterista q tuvo Megadeath
Best Megadeth EVER .
RIP Nick 🤘
Megadeth was an absolute powerhouse with this lineup.🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Clash of the titans was a show that I would've given anything to go and see!!
This man is the reason I picked up a pair of sticks nearly 30 years ago.
Edit: and never laid them down
Menza 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nick was a beast 🤘
Awsome!
Definitely the best drummer megadeth ever had
el qll bacan legendario Nick Menza!!!
Menza uno de los mejores
Monster Nick. Rest in peace bro..
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥 FENOMENO...
That's a helluva cymbal on his right there.
Menza = Perfection
God bless you nick see you soon bro
Nick Manza greatest drummer
miss him so much !
Nick at the top of his game!
Saw the original Show in Somerset, WI in high school. Saw it the second time around several years ago in Las Vegas 🤘🔥🤘
Brutal nick........
Exciting time in metal.
How big was that ride cymbal!!! 😳
24 most likely
RIP Nick 😢
Coolest looking kick drums
Que bestia!!!!
Man, watching him play double bass drums on Peace Sells makes me wonder (amd I’ll have to look it up) what bass pedals he used. Such speed. I noticed his foot is is low on the left one in the clip.
Ник Менза ударник от бога)))
So much better than the newer guys . Solid and great technique
have you seen the videos of dirk playing some of the songs from the first 2 albums, he nails all of them and plays them exactly like gar. you can appreciate menza without degrading another amazing drummer
Not sure how that’s degrading that’s my opinion saying he is better that’s it.
@@Samford_Dirk is great to me in Megadeth.
But Menza is part of that generation that had a swaggy raw power taste that is quite lost.
Menza was also a guitar player, so he plays interactive not just rythmically.
Something that new drummers lost along the way
I love your channel name...
An absolute metal gnikcuF machine...
Damn, look at those calf muscles. Huge
drummers just don't get enough recognition
Drummers like this are super athletes.
Though I play a little guitar, I always ends up watching drummer's videos. Nick was easily one of the top.
The band fell apart when they kicked out Nick. He was a huge part of their sound, and it shows on all live videos when compared to every other drummer they've had playing the same songs. No one else since has had the same energy that he brought.
The Kill
Nick is my favourite drummer ever. But Dirk is also kicking ass damn good
Is this the actual live audio mic’d up? Perfect mix
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ellefson killing it at the 14min mark
He used to take the shit out of those fucking drums!
Megadeth at it's best,Nick is simply killing it! Awesome drum kit,
I always loved the cymbal setup had, dude was a different kind of animal for sure!
Those classic hanging cymbals, did any other drummer use them?
Scott Travis had that in Racer X and Painkiller days
Does anybody have a question, after seeing this videos, about why is this the best Megadeth’s line-up???
The drummer that Matalica should have traded for...
i wiould take it just for "rattlehead"
This fucking hurt me
What kit was nick using here and that giant cymbal rack
I can't drum to save myself 🥁 but I just wanna know how the fuck drummers have so much energy to drum thru a whole concert..🥁⚡ I think I'd be fkde halfway through the first song 👀 lols
2 Things Practice and ADHD!
Peas sells, but who's Brian?
By "drum cam" you mean 'Dave Mustaine cam"?
🤘👅🤘💦
Nick Whaled those drums! Megadeth Now is So Boring!
