South of the border, metal is very much the "everyman music", much like hip hop is here... when I went to Mexico City, I thought I would stick out Luke a sore thumb... but ended up blending in much better there.
If Dave is smart (which I know he is) he will keep this guy FOREVER as Megadeths guitarist! Wow, what a find. Intelligent, clean cut and with God given guitar skills!! How extremely rare in todays world. Kiko Loureiro is a GEM.
This unprecedented look at the life of a world-class musician, is something I value tremendously. Kiko, you are an upstanding musician, entrepreneur and human being. Ad astra.
Hands down, this is a clear example of class and humbleness, direct contact with the fans, sharing real experience from the big leagues. Pure gold here. Maybe some other musicians can learn from this example. ¡Obrigado Kiko!
Whenever I watch your videos i can't help but smile in pure joy, You have a wonderful personality, I wish I'll be able to meet you someday . Love from India ❤
Kiko you are a true inspiration especially for younger kids following the music direction,a glass of wine after the show is OK but in general don't drink,thats the spirit. I have seen many people destroying their life with alcohol, and if you can help people by saying good things just do it!!
Thank you very much Kiko !! You like great artists. Piazzolla is a revolutionary of tango, Salinas and Santaolalla great composers. Huge hug friend! 🇦🇷❤🇧🇷
Quanto mais você cresce musical e profissionalmente, mais nobre e generoso você se torna. Você merece meu respeito sempre. Desejo uma longa vida a você, admirado e respeitado, Kiko Loureiro. De pensar que, poucos anos atrás, nos corredores da ExpoMusic Brasilis, era possível atropeçar em você por váááárias vezes, nos dias dias Credenciados e eu perdi a oportunidade de uma fotinho sequer porquê eu estava sempre seguindo nosso amado André 🖤🙏! Fico muito feliz pelo Brasil e pelo Angra terem me dado o privilégio de ter acompanhado a carreira de músicos tão ESPECIAIS como vocês. Aprendi muito sobre relações humanas com vocês e, talvez um dia, poderei colocar essas lições em prática para me tornar uma musicista mais completa e, principalmente, mais humana. Muuuito grata por sua Luminosidade🙏
Perfeito... é essa a postura... independente de se tocar com uma grande banda ou tocar em um barzinho. Essa é a diferença entre os meninos e os homens. Parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Todavia recuerdo la emocion y lo impactado que quede cuando escuche las primeras canciones de Angra en los 90. Gracias por compartir conocimiento y experiencia maestro! saludos desde Argentina!
Yes, Q&A mixed with backstage. Dirk is so nice, hope see him often in your videos. I don`t know how you find time for recording, so...thank u so much, Kiko
Every time that I watch one of these videos from you Kiko I am just blown away by what a cool, nice guy you are. In today's world with all the craziness and over inflated egos of movie/music stars you are awesome. - and a member a one of my favorite bands of all time! Any chance of getting a "part 2" or an encore to conquer or die? - I know fans like me would love it! Keep it up Kiko and thanks for all that you do for the fans. Cheers!
FOR Q&A: Kiko...any tips and tricks for quickly restringing a guitar with a floating tremelo? Would love to see video of your tech restringing! BTW - The show in Arizona was AMAZING!
Hi Kiko! I have been a (Dutch) fan for many years and from what I see on RUclips the stage design (with the lifted drums) on the current Megadeth tour looks awesome! My questions are as follows: To you: Who designs the Megadeth stage for a tour and what is your say in this? To Dirk: You seem to have the best seat in the house every night on this tour. What does it feel like to be up there every night overseeing both band and fans and was it actually your idea to elevate your drums the way they are on this tour? Thank you Kiko and Dirk for making Megadeth sound great again!
Saw you guys in Denver a few days ago. Sounded awesome! I bought some pricey earplugs a while ago and the sound was so clear. I love hearing every note. That green ibanez is gorgeous too.
Right. I have a family member in a very famous band. My wife and I were backstage after the show with a friend and his wife that we brought. My cousin asked if we wanted anything to drink and our friend asked for a beer. They had none where they were. My cousin went around the entire place and they found ONE bottle of beer. Gave it to him. None of them drink before or after the show. They go from show to show. So if you drink much after the show, on the road all night, doing interviews the next morning, sound check late afternoon and the performance the next night…..drinking is a quick way to destroy the career.
This guy restores my faith and respect for Megadeth. Kiko, you seem like a really professional and awesome person. Thank you for the posts and inviting us into your world
Mustaine was very clever to get you in the band Kiko.Great musician,family man,very humble whit out the rock star attitude,congratulations,you deservet it.
Vendo o Dirk falando de tinnitus com uma tranquilidade.... to na luta há pouco mais de 1 ano e as vezes fico desesperado. É algo que vc tem tbm, @Kiko? Vejo que eh algo bem comum entre musicos, mas n vejo falarem tanto.
for the Q&A: how do you recommend working on solos with groove (eg: playing sequences « in the pocket », with groove, during solos and not just randomly playing over the track). BTW, thanks so much for the Q&As and interviews - very helpful for information.
I'm pretty sure that Kiko has talked about this, but does Dirk/Megadeth play to click live? I've been watching clips from your recent tour and Dirk is an absolute monster behind the kit. He is playing so precisely everything yet not sounding like a robot. E: Yes. Dirk is his name. No Kirks around here. 😅
Alcohol can really dry out your voice so it's definitely not recommended for vocalists. On the other hand, have 1-2 drinks could help you loosen up a bit. Obviously overdoing it is NOT recommended! And it's cool to see that you guys aren't getting trashed before the show as many bands do.
Doesn't matter if the guitar scales are correct. Even correct scales can be used wrong. Bands are a collaborative effort. Things will change if you are truely collaborating Getting attached to something you want is something you do when it's your own thing. Trust the musicians you are playing with or play with someone else.
I’ve been listening to Megadeth ever since I was a wee-lad lol I wasn’t expecting this amazing journey through “Kikos World” and I’m glad I discovered it. I think Dave has put together a well-minded group of musicians. Everyone seems to like each other and I can see why! It’s so funny when someone who doesn’t know who Megadeth is and they hear Dave growls and snarls they wouldn’t expect a sweet humble guitarist like yourself to be in such a heavy band lol. You can’t judge a book by its cover and Megadeth nails that. So thank you Kiko for all these wonderful videos! I think I’ve seen them all since finding them yesterday. Ha! Your newest fan, -Ryan
Hey guys thanks for coming on! Drinking before shows, well myself, I can catch a buzz anytime, when I go to see rock shows ( not everyday thing...) I enjoy being clear & sharp minded. ( but I always break out for the crowd...). Drinking/ can't hold my liquor. Never could. 1 shot of CR TKO, asleep in 5mins...great to see Dirk on here this evening, dig the new record very much! Lucid Dreams???(I'm not gonna lie the title evades me at the momment, but its HEAVY!!) Highly recommend...you guys be safe and see ya down the road. P.s. Is there any possibility you guys could let us see some footage surrounding the karate picture Kiko flashed at us a day or so ago...maybe down the line a bit... that would please me VERY much. Oh and please tell Dave its against the law to play Washington without gears of war following it please. I keep looking on ytube waiting for someone to catch it on video,and I'm not hearing it...I'm waiting patiently...thank you! 🤘🖤⚡☠
I don't understand how the ear monitors are configured. What do they listen to? Just their drumming, in this case, or the whole band at a lower volume?
Oh my God I said this a million times but finally hear somebody say exactly what I've been telling all these lead guitarist. Play The Melody that the vocalist singing. Make that your solo. Genius.
Kiko is an amazing guitarrist, amazing person !!! Wanna see you back in curitiba - paraná - brazil !!! I have a song that i wanna record with you man !!! Who knows, maybe one day in the near future, its never too much to dream like this !!! Thanks kiko !!!
As a young guitarist like me what is the best advice you can give another question What is the difference between american guitar player and Brazilian guitar player? My teacher is Brazilian his name Luis Kahlil he is so amazing I really like him so much.
In ear monitors seems to end the problem once and for all. Always heard stories of everyone wanting to be higher in the mix and not being able to hear themselves to the point of fighting. Now you can get exactly what you want.
Such an awesome guy! Thank you for showing us behind the scenes, especially gear! Looking forward to hearing how that Quad Cortex is working for you!:)
Great video, as usual! I love the JH Audios. I've been using the 13v2s for the past year and a half and absolutely love them. IEMs do indeed take some getting used to, though.
This guy is likely the nicest, most humble dude in rock.
Him, Gary Holt, and John 5.
South of the border, metal is very much the "everyman music", much like hip hop is here... when I went to Mexico City, I thought I would stick out Luke a sore thumb... but ended up blending in much better there.
Especially showing the rehearsals for those that can't see them live. That's awesome
Love him ! Might even buy an Ibanez kiko guitar !🤘🏼
@@27pugsly I'm actually looking at them. I love the look of the green one.
If Dave is smart (which I know he is) he will keep this guy FOREVER as Megadeths guitarist! Wow, what a find. Intelligent, clean cut and with God given guitar skills!! How extremely rare in todays world. Kiko Loureiro is a GEM.
As long as he wants to stay I think he will. No issues with this guy.

Do you drink before the show?
Asking that megadeth in 80s would be a fun question😀
Hahahah
"Do we drink? No way! We only do coke"
@@viniciuscandido7133 How do you think they could play so fast.
@@TheCyberMantis Yeah. Rock in Rio 1991 is the fastest I've seen Megadeth playing
Wasn't Chris Poland kicked from the band because he traded all his gear for some heroin?
Whenever I watch your videos i can't help but smile in pure joy, You have a wonderful personality, I wish I'll be able to meet you someday . Love from India ❤
Please play Wake up Dead/Darkest hour at all the shows🙏
The Conjuring too
@@josemb_1473 I wish, but Mustaine himself said he'll never play that song live again due to it having black magic related themes.

The absolute best metal channel on YT!!
So cool to be up close and personal with legends like Kiko and Megadeth 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Q&A: do you ever lose your picks during shows? If so how many and where do you stash them?
You rock! And Rata Blanca as well! Cheers from Guatemala 🇬🇹👍🎸🎶

Kiko, you’ve gotta be one of the coolest guys ever!
How do you find time for these vids. It’s so nice to see how you guys work
Thank you so much dude for answering my question....
My old band used to rent an apartment above a punk/ metal bar.. it was also a club with a stage . Greatest summer of my life. Rock on ! 🤘
7:25 When you look at your neighbor's front yard and then grass looks greener. 😁
Dirk seems like a nice dude. Non alcoholic cheers.
Saw you guys in Denver a few days ago. Sounded awesome! I bought some pricey earplugs a while ago and the sound was so clear. I love hearing every note. That green ibanez is gorgeous too.
A true humble guy in metal one of a kind guy bravo
Top performance artist never drink alcohol before a show! Maybe a little after but never before a show! Top kiko

Love all these inside looks. Thanks for taking the time out of your crazy schedule to give us a taste of things that go on behind the scenes.. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Kiko I love these videos as it’s really fun to hear about the technical side of what goes on live and how you adjust to surprises.
I've never heard Dirk speak. Never expected him to sound like that haha. You guys rock! See you in Irvine tomorrow!
He kinda sounds like a muppet from Sesame Street. Which is cool tho. \m/
You are very inspiring 💯💯🙏😎
This guy restores my faith and respect for Megadeth. Kiko, you seem like a really professional and awesome person. Thank you for the posts and inviting us into your world
Hey Kiko! I’m a guitar hack/seven factor member and I’ll be seeing you guys tomorrow at Irvine!-Fabian
Glad to hear ya'll keepin it healthy on the road.

Saw them 2 nights ago in Chicago,! Awesome!
I love behind backstage videos, specially for one that i was in, you were awesome Kiko , I was shouting your name Kiko
Profissional is so tudo voce e Uma maquina!
O Kiko falou que só usa daddario, e eu que só uso Rouxinol kkkkkkkkk
7:18 living abroad is pretty much accepting that you won't ever again read/hear your name being pronounced correctly.
