We're so lucky that nick did this clinic. He is really stretching out here and showing how diverse he is. This is his swan song and it really shows what a versatile bad ass beast he was behind that kit. This lineup of OHM was going far and beyond anything Megadeth could ever do within the confines of the Metal box/genre that defines them. In a way Mustaine did Nick a favor by not paying enough for the tour,we never would have gotten these incredible,complex and detailed masterpieces of drum battery work from Nick as he would have been playing Mustaine's songs again as a hired gun,and while that's cool and all......IMHO this is much much better and a lot more creative. Rest in Power Mr Menza and massive respect and thanks due to you! Wishing the best vibes and healing to your children and all the loved ones you left behind
This perfectly highlights why I rate Nick Menza's work so highly. The fact that he can play metal as well as any metal drummer and then turn his hand to this is incredible. Shades of the great Bill Bruford and a little of Tony Williams the monster jazz drummer in his style.
Such a great performance from this band. Chris' playing is like, wow! The solos are great. Robertino is phenomenal on the bass and the solos on his playing, amazing. And Nick Menza, I've never heard this kind of playing from him. It's a real eye opener to see. R.I.P. Nick.
The cymbals are some of the best Ive ever heard, some can be somewhat annoying or harsh on the ears IMO. Nothing harsh here just perfection, the ride is amazing!
Damn, these guys are so good. RIP Nick, such an amazing player and talent. This band brought so much to the table! Every musician jamming simultaneously and it works.....

Shades of the great Bill Bruford and a little of Tony Williams the monster jazz drummer in his style here and some of his cymbal work reminds me a little of Billy Cobham. I would be interested to hear the opinions of jazz drummers. This is far more challenging that his work with Megadeth.
Don Menza was his father, i believe Nick had Luigi Balassoni (Louie Bellson, godfather of double bass, Duke Elington, Count Basie ecc) as mentor. So he had that education. Steve Gadd, Cobham, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones were among his influences within Ian Paice, John Bonham, Bill Ward, Clive Burr, Nicko Mcbrain, Tommy Aldridge and stuff who themselves don't forget considering the genesis had funk blues jazz roots too.
Certainly the most dynamic and sophisticated lineup that OHM had. A true tragedy Nick Menza taken so soon, especially as this trio seemed destined for great things, and so soon after the death of David Eagle... This set will surely go down as one of the all-time classic fusion guitar trio performances...
Wow, this is great. Sorry that Nick's death brought me here. This reminds me so much of Allan Holdsworth during the Road Games days with Chad Whackerman and Jeff Berlin, just fantastic, precision musicianship with insanely creative energy.
Contrary to what Mustaine has stated in recent times, the proof is in the pudding right here. Nick is playing amazing these days! He could play Rattlehead in his sleep!
+lonhro84 I dunno, man. Nick jammed with them and it sounded fucking epic - epecially the RIP stuff. But he wasn't willing to get paid the price they offered him - which I doubt was low - and said no due to that. I think he'd sound awesome back in the band, but Chris is a technique virtuoso, like Broderick was - just on the drums instead.
Amazing Nick !! Very nice drumming and wonderful drum sound ! I don't know wich drum is it... I love and I have Pearl Reference , bud this drum and specially the toms is so short , giving those lovely high frequency very powerful !

Fantastic arrangements of sounds. Has Nick Menza ever been known to have worked with Michael Narada Warden? Fantastic sounds anyways. Rest in Peace, Nick.
Why the props to Nick as a Megadeth member and not Poland? Poland set the standard for every Megadeth guitarist that followed. He also played on 3 albums.
@Nissardpertugiu it's true. Every Megadeth guitarist, no matter how talented, still has the hardest time replicating Poland. His style is so unique and unorthodox, even more so than Freidman. Friedman never play Poland solos correctly, and even Teemu right now will say Poland is out of his wheelhouse.

Great song and sounds awesome Nick. Now that everyone is jumping on the Marty Friedman bandwagon, i would have to agree Marty would be a solid edition to this lineup all time powerhouse group. Please consider re recording Return to Metalopolis
Brings Marty Friedman Take my advice I'm a true Megadeth's Fan I agree would be something so badass ass shit bring him Chrish Poland Nick Menza Bassist Marty Friedman New Musician Gods of this epoch.. You'll revive the best music Again .. seriously take my advice.. anyways well done sounds great this line up
Great idea, bring in a guitarist with no interest in playing jazz fusion into a jazz fusion band. Even if Nick were still alive today Martydoesn't even like this kind of stuff.
+Rennerp It doesn't matter how much you exercise if you are eating really shitty food. You'll still be very likely to have heart disease, and it can indeed happen that young.
I can´t believe there´s hate comments, let´s just appreciate Nick Menza´s Artwork.

Great coordination skills, and as people have pointed out, this is for 30 minutes, not 3, so that makes him ten times better. RIP Nick.

Chris Poland and Nick Menza man so amazing together.
Nick's kit sounds just perfect!!!
Nick's playing is great and his kit and cymbals sound great as well!
The cymbals are some of the best Ive ever heard, some can be somewhat annoying or harsh on the ears IMO. Nothing harsh here just perfection, the ride is amazing!
RIP Nick. Phenomenal musicians right there. Great drumming, guitar and man that bassist is getting down! Awesome.
Carpet Nap is a great song !!! What diversity!!
It's weird, Nick looks and sounds so great here. Rust in Peace, legend. We'll miss you
Cleanest videos of Ohm Ive seen. Good shit!!! Sorry to hear Nick passed, I never knew he played with Chris and Pag great to see these uploads!
This is a great show really enjoyable with great parts, and atmospheres it gots you in the trip and flow, you don't see it pass

RIP Nick Menza!!! u always were one of my favorite influences.
I am very sad, that Nick menza passes so early.
I love the sound from this Band.
Very unique. Thanks for this gig. Take care and god bless.

Rest In Peace, Nick. We will miss you.
Wow, this is great. Sorry that Nick's death brought me here. This reminds me so much of Allan Holdsworth during the Road Games days with Chad Whackerman and Jeff Berlin, just fantastic, precision musicianship with insanely creative energy.
So glad they played Carpet Nap at the end! Favorite OHM song
Legend! thank you Nick.
Nick Menza was such a huge influence to me. He will be greatly missed. Such a sad day today is.
My god, this is phenomenal!!!!!!!!

I don't go after what Dave said, but Nick himself.
Geniuses at work. RIP, Nick! :(

Rust in peace Nick. :(
Why the props to Nick as a Megadeth member and not Poland? Poland set the standard for every Megadeth guitarist that followed. He also played on 3 albums.
And every guy after had trouble to pay tribute to Poland 😁
@Nissardpertugiu it's true. Every Megadeth guitarist, no matter how talented, still has the hardest time replicating Poland. His style is so unique and unorthodox, even more so than Freidman. Friedman never play Poland solos correctly, and even Teemu right now will say Poland is out of his wheelhouse.

Thanks for all of these awesome uploads!
awesomeness

10:46 Does not lose the beat
Great song and sounds awesome Nick. Now that everyone is jumping on the Marty Friedman bandwagon, i would have to agree Marty would be a solid edition to this lineup all time powerhouse group. Please consider re recording Return to Metalopolis
+Paul Patton Re-record Metalopolis? Nah man that record is great as it is.
RIP Nick.
seems nick's got his head together.
rest in peace Nick
Ohm is great!
This is so fucking good.
💖👏
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Rip Nick
Maximo Respeto
somedoby please put the set list
Set list??
Plus Marty Friedman, this band will be an especially unique!
+WiZang Geni I agree and not sure why he isn't part of this great band
+heavymetalthrashpodcast As amazing as Marty is, It's not really his style of music. And there's no need really.
+WiZang Geni I'm guessing we all know what happened next.
Todopoderoso dios Menza
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Rust In Peace bro...
RUST IN PEACE BROTHER!!!
D.E.P MAESTRO
Poland and MENZA..
rust in peace Nick....
50% Megadeth, but really great alchemy between musicians. So sad that Nick is dead...
It's obvious that lady has no clue who Chris is..
nick b4 he died saw and taped a ufo in the sky. strange.
Brings Marty Friedman Take my advice I'm a true Megadeth's Fan I agree would be something so badass ass shit bring him
Chrish Poland
Nick Menza
Bassist
Marty Friedman
New Musician Gods of this epoch.. You'll revive the best music Again .. seriously take my advice.. anyways well done sounds great this line up
I really like the direction however they need a singer and Marty Friedman to round things off then it would really be something exciting
Great idea, bring in a guitarist with no interest in playing jazz fusion into a jazz fusion band. Even if Nick were still alive today Martydoesn't even like this kind of stuff.
Doesnt look like hes having issues playing for 30 mins straight here... heart attack at 51? with a life time of drum exercise? Seems fishy to me.
+Rennerp u speak my mind brother
What are you on about? This was recorded a while back. Heart attacks are common and can be a silent killer. Ridiculous comment.
+Rennerp Are you seriously telling yourself to commit suicide? Please call a a hotline first.
Oh good one.
+Rennerp It doesn't matter how much you exercise if you are eating really shitty food. You'll still be very likely to have heart disease, and it can indeed happen that young.
