Thank you guys for all the amazing comments. It really was a special night, and I was so honored to be involved in it. I also had the honor of singing with Chris, and inducting him (with Phil Demmel) into the Metal Hall of Fame a few weeks ago, and got to watch him play with Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. It was amazing to really see Chris get the credit he deserves, and take his proper seat at the table with THE guitar legends. Chris and David are both amazing people, and yeah being on stage with them, and helping make that happen, truly was one of the coolest nights of my life. I honestly wish EVERYONE in the fucking World could've been there to see it. And reading all the comments from everyone else who enjoyed it too, is really cool. Chris truly is a special player, and an amazing guy. Shameless plug - Make sure you all pickup the RETURN TO METALOPOLIS reissue, coming out Friday on COMBAT!!
Chris has ALWAYS been a real guitar legend. My all time favorite guitarist.
awesome, you did a spot on job here. really awesome, thx for the shameless plug. i need to buy that album, poland is one of the best, his stuff is near impossible to play. if mustaine has trouble with singing, the flu or something, you could do a fine stand in for him.
@@aryinc Yes, buy the album. Just got my copy yesterday. I've always loved that album and the remastering job on it sounds great. Has a few new tracks on it as well that fit right in.
Dude the first metal album I ever bought was Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?, I was around 10 years old jumping up and down from my bed like a lunatic and I swore those lead guitars were channeled straight from Hell to the guitarist! I would've probably just told him he was the best musician in the room and walked away because I wouldn't be able to think like normal and talk to him like a normal person. Early Megadeth shaped my guitar playing to this day and if I never heard Chris Poland play in Peace Sells... I might not have even bought a guitar that year.
Mega excellent show absolutely!!!
Chris poland looks so happy to be playing this again. Ellefson too
Sweet
Perfect comment, my thoughts exactly!
Best feeling ever.
Glad to see this happening in my lifetime. 👍🤘
@@ihs7726 Yo what up man?! Haven't seen you in the comments for ages!
Imagine being a kid and being able to say that your grandfather was the original lead guitarist for Megadeth.
Too bad most people my age dont know who Megadeth are..
@@dimitrisvill1411 same, they to young to understand.
They’d be like “oh, is Megadeth a rapper?”
Yes I know this is a boomer tier comment despite only being 16
Great to see David and Chris playing together again along with Thom(great guy) as well as Opas and the boys.
Kerry King's grandkids?
"Poland! Poland! Poland!"
German crowd?
Ah shit
Lol
Bahahahaha!!
I see r/woooosh potential here at some point
The real ones know xD
Chris Poland shaped the entire sound for Peace Sells - the moody, melodic fluid speed mixed with unique phrasing was a once in a lifetime masterpiece
he had a massive influence indeed
Mustaine should do a grand reunion of all past and present megadeth members who are still around and put them all on one Killer MEGAshow.
pepe hepe mustaine’s ego isn’t too big for that
@@asdfghjkldfghjhgcgyuigfyui9792 nah, unless there's some personal thing and even then...Mustaine has mellowed since "salvation" came his way. He usually had good reasons anyway.
Nah,most of them are shit anyway. Bring Marty, Chris and Jeff only.
Room for 100 people would be needed
U realise that there is no bigger asshole than dave?😂🤘
I dont see two musicans nor two megadeth member not even two old man , i just see two friends
Huh. I see all four of those.
i see two old megadeth musician friends
Delilah Jones big tits
Who you calling old..😂
True af
Who would have thought 60 year old hands could play with so much speed and finesse. These guys are legends
Im amazed he remembers the riffs.
@@infinitesimotel? he wrote them.
You can tell by Poland's expressions he felt young again and remembering playing it like it was 86 again. The dude saw it all. He was enjoying every bit of it. He is absolutely incredible he has the sound of a lead guitarist. He literally has one of the most unique sound in all of Metal.
Sounds open in interviews.
Chris Poland is the most underrated megadeth guitar players.
@Stephen Leger nah. Chris Poland was a brilliant jazz musician on heroin when Dave found him. Jeff Young was just a good looking stand in with a feathered hair do until they found Marty.
Matthew Kohen Jeff young had some notable speed metal guitar chops, probably better than you
@@tylerbrah4676 is that why he has so many notable projects after megadeth? Jeff young is the Milli Vanilli of thrash guitar.
He is not underrrated, Any megadeth fan knows more about Chris Poland's capabilities.
@Mr. Mopar Jeff young worst megadeth guitar player ever! Chris poland is another level!
Ellefson is such a nice person. We don't deserve him.
Proudly Minnesota nice!
Super nice guy... Brushed by them on the Rust in Peace tour and only Ellefson reacted and did the horn symbol when I yelled "Megadeth!" the others didn't even look.
"we don't deserve him" WTF, shut up you fucking idiot!!
@@CL-sp2yv Right. i agree. that kind of idol worshiping is pathetic. say hes a nice guy and move on. hes not creator of heaven and earth. dont worship nobody. no thing. For God only deserves worship and God is no thing and no one. what is my idea of God? The highest standard. THE greatest good. For one, For all. An ideal of spiritual perfectness.
I guess you never met him.
Chris has aged quite a bit, but his shredding skills are still insane.
He’s 63 so it’s too be expected. He’s a old man.
The man is not in his 20s or 30s anymore. Plus drugs and alcohol take a toll on your skin.
@@H.E.M. that just makes him even more badass. He's a metal grandpa
IKR! It’s crazy to see an old man shred like that. I mean that in the most sincere way.
Right...passionate too, so killer to see
A jazz player joining a metal band is like a trained competetive olympic shooter becoming a sniper in the seal team.
Poland's style is unique. One of my favorite musicians
I think he's easily the best guitarist of all the thrash era. Just my opinion amd he's certainly the most unique.
@@rrguitar1 I wouldn't say that, but he's a notch above, but not playing thrash.
I love the way he throws in those little lead licks in between on the verses.
Edit: fixed typo
He was originally a jazz guitarist, which gave Megadeth that unique spin. He’s also been continuously playing with his own bands (OHM, Redemption, etc) since parting with Magadeth in 87, so his chops haven’t deteriorated over the years.
Did he not have some injury to his fingers that contributed to his unique style?
when jazz was transformed into metal by Poland. One of the greatest metal guitars that don't get much credit in metal music.
100%
That took me back to my teens amazing, absolutely old school awsome
It's so nostalgic watching Chris playing Peace Sells solo...
Hearing those leads as they were supposed to be in Peace Sells...friggin amazing.
To be fair, Chris has the ability to stretch his pinky just a little farther out due to a childhood accident. Therefore, no one else but Chris can play his parts exactly as he wrote and played them. His successors in Megadeth can only approximate his parts to something that sounds close.
@@davidg1612 Chris has a smooth as silk legato that I would sell my soul to have myself. Definitely my favorite of all of Megadeth's past and present guitarists.
Even marty couldn’t quite do a Poland solo right, he’s the shit, I think Dave elffson was impressed with him, I’m not sure he expected Chris to bring his A+ game
@@imvandenh That is also unique to him. The man is a mutant on guitar and always amazing to watch, not matter what it is he's playing.
Gave me chills watching chris
Poland and Ellefson playing together after all these years! woahhhh
Really glad they are having a blast together. Wished I was there 🤘🏻
So good...
POLAND HAS MAD SKILLZ
Fuck yeah he does. And has taken the high road when it comes to Mustaine for years. I have a ton of respect for Chris Poland
Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson....the greatest line up.
Fuck yeah!
Rip Gar
Damn near brought a tear to my eye. This was beautiful thing right here.
@@Benjamin-tc4yn - No doubt!!!
totally agree..
Hell yes, dave mustaine, david ellefson, chris poland, and gar samuelson, the greatest megadeth lineup to ever be a thing
Poland was always my favourite ‘deth lead guitarist. His solos were so cool and he had this amazing fluid tone.
Same here. His legato is incredible. Fast smooth flawless
@@imvandenh And with very little gain that would otherwise cover mistakes.
Yeah same here. Everyone's always talking about Friedman being the best megadeth lead but I've seen him butcher Poland's solos in a lot of videos
@@kaboom983 Marty once said that the most difficult part in joining Megadeth was actually mastering Chris's solos. He said that he had do anihilate his fingers.
@@kaboom983 yes because they are Poland solos. Still can't a solo to match tornado of souls tho I bet
can't beleive Chris is killing it at 60!!!god bless him
juan regular age is just a number! (Until your bones hurt)
Age is just a number Juan I'm 67 as of today and I can still thrown down metal chops.
@@richardturk7162 Happy Birthday mate Up the Irons!!
@@richardturk7162 Happy birthday sir rock on
@@richardturk7162 keep on rockin brother hope ya have many more!!
And this is why I'll always respect Dave, for coming to this (in the grand scheme of things) small gig to play with his friend and ex band member, probably no security. He's all about music and I was truly gutted to see the word 'was' on wiki on his departure from megadeth. I don't care what he did, this could have been anyone, it's just sad now media has reared it's ugly mug and destroyed the dignity of this great man. Love and respect Dave ❤
You're really letting Mustaine off a hook here. I knew the minute all this shit came out that he's gonna fire Ellefson, no matter how the actual ..."misadventure" plays out, media or no media. It's just how Mustaine is.
Word 🥺❤️
@@emiliomgbih80 Imagine being in Mustaine's shoes for a minute on stage, and end up in a potential situation of people pointing fingers at the bass player's crotch and sneering. Megadeth is a brand as a whole, and does not have room for dickie jokes...
And now Megadeth is opening for 5FDP
@@Manu-Official dave mustaine and megadeth suck balls now anyway. Dave's a shitty fucking band leader and garbage human
Makes me so happy how Poland and Ellefson keep touching each other’s shoulder out of happiness to be sharing the stage with each other again
I love the look on Dave E.’s face when he’s with Chris. It’s great to reunite with old friends. Fantastic performance. 🤘🏼
11:19 - He shreds so hard the person filming faints.
Jajaja yes Bro!
Lol... Some drunk ass slammed into me and I dropped the camera. I was ready to smash his face in for almost ruining my shot. 😠🤜
Haha.. it's all good, now it has authenticity. Anyhow, thanks for filming and posting… great footage!
@@TheMusicRevolt Thanks a ton for uploading
@@TheMusicRevolt such a shame that it was mid solo :'(
Can't believe I'm just seeing this now. Chris is still killing it. And then John Bush steps in. Incredible
That gave me chills! Love this guy!
Chris Polland's solo guitar intro taken from "These Boots" starts at 6:11
A fusion metal jam right there that made Megadeth stood out from their peers in their early days of "Killing Is My Business.."
You know he had to of made Mustaine pick up him game. His leads on the Metallica demo and the live performances were not good
I have never seen a person who is not genuinely happy being around Ellefson. Everybody seems to like him a lot.
If only you knew how much things change in 12 short months!
Except Mustaine.
This aged like milk
The technique, the feeling, the style and sound of poland will always be one of the most beautiful sounds megadeth has ever had
You nailed it!
I dont shed a tear too often ,but Chris made me do it today. How much have we fucking missed that unique style Chris has!?
Everytime i come back to this, I can't help but to grin from ear to ear. Chris patting dave on the shoulder during the conjuring was priceless.
I think he was trying to call him to take the center of the stage.
Chris Poland...the Sound of Megadeth. His solos on those first 2 albums are unmatched imo. Awesome!
You sir are correct! Poland was the best Megadeth ever had, and it's not very close in my eyes.
@@hillbillyheadbanger367 Come on bro, Marty is a legend and Guitar Master
@@Baraka_Obama_ brother I am not taking ANYTHING from Marty the guy is a Metal God. He is a legend in every aspect of the word in Metal. But in my opinion my brother Poland is the best Megadeth has ever had that's what I am saying buddy.
@@hillbillyheadbanger367 My bad dude I get what you're saying. I agree Poland is the best Guitarist on the Planet
@@Baraka_Obama_ rock on my friend, and keep thrashin hard bro!
That right there, was just as much “Megadeth “ as any of the Megadeth line ups from 2002-2009
You aint wrong particularly wrong. Back then it was just Mustaine using the Megadeth name instead of 'Me'. At least now we have 'Mega'
Gar and Chris will forever be part of that classic lineup that gave us the template for speed metal and absolute masterpice that is Peace Sells...
@@rict5878 while I'd say Menza and Friedman contributed to their more recognisable and accessible albums, this is possibly their peak lineup
@@sirspookybones1118 I'd agree if the former hadn't put out Rust in Peace
@@sirspookybones1118
In terms of raw passion and talent. Yes.
Not taking anything away from Friedman & Menza, but i just like the Dave + David + Gar + Chris lineup more.
Don't quit halfway on this one folks, you're welcome.
In my opinion Chris Poland has such a unique finger tone. His sound and solos are as iconic as the Megadeth albums he played on. Was great to see old friends share a stage and some smiles again.
Thanks for your love and support all your kind wishes and encouragement.

It's so nice seeing only positive comments... thank you, everyone!
Don't jinx it
Well he's positively kicking ass!
I love most of the Megadeth lead players for what they produced at the time. It’s so hard to replicate someone’s style if you are a completely different player. Chris Poland was not Marty Friedman who was not Chris Broderick who was not etc etc. Chris Poland is perfect for these tunes because they required that bluesy metal snarl full of piss and vinegar and anger that Dave felt in the years following his firing from Metallica. Chris still has every bit the amount of chops he ever had, and I would love to hear a concert in which all the former Megadeth guitarists got to play their parts on their songs. Chris on these, Marty on his, Jeff on his, etc. What a treat that would be, and we’re lucky enough that all are still alive and well.
Ok, how can we tagg Mustaine now xD
Poland was more jazzy
Lol naw, wish it could be but Mustaine
Chris' guitar playing is pure jazz fusion fire. Smouldering tones too. By far the best musician of that whole big 4 thing.
To all you chris poland fans, check out his band Damn the Machine, they only made one album but its one of my all time favs
Best album I ever heard by a one album band in all my life.
Amazing album. Such a shame they didn't get recognition. By the way they did release an EP in addition to the album. And also there were supposedly recordings that were never released.
I was lucky enough to see them live at the Troubadour in Hollywood on their only tour. One of the top highlights of my concert going experiences.
When others where soloing some fast noise Chris and Gar where playing melodic music at its best.
Yup, real musicians
Truth bomb!
I don't know much about melodic music so I'll just say RIP Gar!
They used to be in a jazz band.
Gar is my favorite Megadeth drummer.
Poland is the single best guitarist megadeth ever had. Seeing him playing the intro to peace sells again is just beautiful! Great stuff.
You sir are correct!
Oh, fuck yes!
Poland was great but marty friedman was better
demonocus metalocus no way, Poland never misses a note
@@demonocusmetalocus3558 agreed, Marty #1. Chis
Poland is probably the second greatest.
this must have been a nostalgia overload for Dave Ellefson and Chris Poland
What a legend, great to see him jam out with Dave Ellefson on their legendary songs 🤘🤘
Love the creative pfp
Kiwi and Maroon hard
Thanks man, there is a car window sticker you can get done like that, that’s where I got the picture from 👍
epic - Poland - unbelievable player
Would love to see Poland play along with Dave live today on stage!
Too bad Mustaine hates Poland with a passion since Poland sued him over some demos
For real back with megadeth to finish off the golden years
While Marty may have had Chris beat in the creativity department (not by much imo), the uniquely fluid, bluesy and jazzy sound of Chris Poland remains unsurpassed.
Kiko is a great jazz and bossa nova player... So don't rule him out ehehe
@@davidrubem508 Less significant or memorable than Marty's contributions, tbh.
Gar too... the first two Megadeth albums were masterpieces
You may be right but one thing I would suggest is to listen to the rust in peace demos of Chris Poland playing leads. His solo ideas really influenced what Marty played on Holy Wars in the solos and Hangar 18. I never knew it but that first far out solo in holy wars was actually more of a Poland vibe than Marty, who put his touch on it too. You can find the demos on RUclips.
his jazz influence made megadeth what it is today so...
its so good to hear those solos played by Chris again. nobody can bend the same way he does
Wow Chris rules with the half step bends and slow vibrato!
its glad to see that he stills appreciate metal music and doesnt think that its music for only young people or teenager when actually it is very well composed music.
The most unique Megadeth Line-Up. Watching this makes me happy! RIP Gar and Nick!
Chris Poland is such a unique player, immediately recognizable
And that, my friends, is what no other music genre can be proud about: Heavy Metal is family and friendship, feeling the energy and sharing it with the audience in the best possible way.
No other music genre? lol
@@WinterQzn Yeah, no other.
@@stonerdemon if you say so xD
Well said
The peace sells line up will always be my favorite 😈🤘
@Fender King finally someone that gets it
Peace Sells is still the BEST Megadeth record,, hands down, Rust is great, don't get me wrong, but PS is the titan!!
@Fmc 2465 i think it's one of the defining records of the genre and that era, i mean we know where Metallica took off to, but i think this record stands right there versus anyone's catalog, PERIOD
Peace sells is the best album!
Gar the best drummer by a long shot. I love Poland but Marty is pretty close. Really Megadeth has never had a bad lead player.
i came back 3 years later to watch this. My favorite era of Megadeth w/ Poland. U can tell him and Dave having some much fun. Both still great players.
Chris Poland, the BEST guitarist Megadeth has EVER had!
This was just amazing to watch, couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video :")
I smiled and teared up. I’m weird. 😊
Me too
I will have to say this made my day and a smile 10 miles wide.
Same here 😊😊😊😊
Chris Poland is one of my all-time favourites! He has the most outstanding phrasing in metal!
This makes me so happy to see! Chris is amazing and I hope he realizes that true Megadeth fans regard him as THE Megadeth guitarist over all successors.
Great old times!!!

Awesome! He still has it, he looked liked he felt young again playing those tunes
his style is so weird and unique. Pedaling the f# with his thumb....power chords with the middle and pinky, weird picking hand etc.
It's a good way to find a root note with your index playing that way, most people go up the scale to find the next root note but he also goes down and more often than not he will. The guy is a legend in every way!
He picks like most great lead players do, efficiently. No wasted motion, puts it where it needs to go with only the energy needed to sound the note.
It's the result of an adolescent injury which messed his pinky up.
Megadeth leads has weird pick
Yea I was like wthell when I saw that pinkie power chord
Chris Poland is a MONSTER on guitar. Saw him at the baked potato, about 3 feet away, and he was so awesome all.i could do was shake my head and laugh... Super cool dude, too.
At like 6:30 it almost sounds like these boots intro solo.. god they were so cool i can’t believe theyve known eachother that long. So sick to still see them up there after all these years. Chris will always be my favorite megadeth guitarist, he’s the reason those first few albums sounded so unique. Thank the lord he’s finally in the hall of fame!!!
Chris is such a Beast man. Love Dave Ellefson also
Yeah!!! Nobody sounds like Poland! Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
11:01 David Ellefson doing what he does best
LMAO, didn't notice that
Lmao
So nice to see Chris Poland with Dave Elefson together playing MEGADETH songs live Nostalgia canaglia...
Chris Poland is one of the very best lead guitarists to be in any metal band, let alone Megadeth. Brilliant player!
Chris Poland is the best! amazing unique his guitar tone.
The entire band is a 💯 percent a well oiled machine. Poland has a an awesome live tone.
Dude is incredible. Wish we could see Poland perform with Megadeth one last time, even though the odds of it happening are almost zero.
Dustin James Dave is an asshole but makes good music
Always great to see Chris.
Chris has the most unique style and sound in metal. No one can replicate him.
Chris Poland and Alex Skolnick should do an album together, since they both like jazz.
That sure would be one melodic album!😁
Their bands did a tour with Friedman's band.
There's a Lamb of God album that features solos from both Chris Poland and Alex Skolnick!
I met Ellefson this April 2019. That's a day I will never forget 🤘

Chris Poland is an absolute Legend. One of the most unique style of playing!
Nobody's going to talk about John Bush? One of the best metal vocalists I've ever heard. Loved Armored Saint and his time in Anthrax.
This is Megadeth mate
@@garyunsworth726 Bush shows up around 10:35
All the ex-memebrs of megadeth should just form a band at this point
Such a cool and historic moment! He still has the chops!
Hell yeah Chris Poland. I'd love to see a Damn the Machine reunion.
Chris Poland is one of my favorite guitarists ever. His style, it's just so smooth. His fingers just have perfect timing.
Holy crap, that was fun! Chris Poland still shreds and John Bush always looks like he's the happiest person in the room.
This was so good to see. Thanks for posting.
sounding great and great to see poland and dave playing again...:)
This is awesome! Glad to see Chris in the spotlight again!!!
Awesome!! Thanks so much for uploading!
This is fucking epic. A piece of history. This made me very happy. Chris deserves his part in the thrash history, a game changer, a unique guitar player a pioneer of the genre. He is an icon and a hero.
What an awesome jam! Chris and Dave look so happy... that's the genuine love of the music... I hope I'm still rocking out like that when I'm their age!
This is 15 minutes from me... I can't believe I missed this lol
Badass!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
This man kept all the metal inside, that's why he rocks so much.
Poland is an enigma...so damn unique! \m/
His style and tone are inspirational. No matter what album, amp, or guitar he's on, I can tell it's him.
How fkin cool is that, Chris & Dave together on a stage again, first time I Ever saw Poland smile, EVER, love ya Chris
