discord.gg/fq8CuecRqu I made a fan Megadeth server since the main one isnt active and doesnt allow messaging from users feel free to join the server and also talk about Megadeth and have fun and you can request videos as well :)
Gar was one of a kind. To come from a jazz background and thrown into Thrash he was an absolute beast with unique flare. My favourite drummer of all time. Imagine lars trying to play this even at his peak. Not a chance. First time I heard megadeth the drums on mechanix blew me away
I’m happy that we were able to hear his greatness. So many other great musicians that were never able to get their music recorded were lost to history. Gar Samuelson still stands as one of the all time greats in rock. Neil Peart? Gar Samuelson.
didnt chris poland work there too? and you guys are pretty much the reason how megadeth got their first gear right? i mean thats what im thinking since mustaine poland and ellefson were using bc rich
I had the opportunity to talk to chuck behler recently, and he commented how gar said that he can play circles around Lars because someone was talking shit even he knew 😂
One things for sure, Dave Mustaine is an outstanding musician who has always surrounded himself with great musicians too. From James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, Gar Samuelson, Chris Poland, Dave Jr and all the way through to Kiko Lourerio and his current band members, there’s never been a shortage of talent in Megadeth. Being so talented himself it’s quite obvious why Megadeth has needed to be this way.
Just as I wish I could peer into an alternate reality, and see what would happen if Mustaine had gotten his drinking under control, and was still in Metallica, I wish I could see where Gar would be right now if he had managed to beat his addictions.
gar is a very special drummer, go listen to the new yorkers remastered on youtube in 1980, gar is very young and listen to what hes playing on drums, out of this world once in a lifetime kind of guy
@@leonshreds387 Oddly enough, thinking about what I said originally, it's likely that we only know about Gar BECAUSE of his addiction... He wasn't a metal drummer, and even Mustaine says it's likely he only joined the band for financial reasons. If he hadn't been so messed up on heroin, he probably wouldn't have ever auditioned for Megadeth (and, if he had, he wouldn't have left the shocking first impression that he did with the cig burning through his fingers).
I think its quite annoying to focus on that, who cares man, that doesnt take away from the fact that hes one of the best fucking drummers who ever lived, go and listen to the new yorkers on youtube look up the new yorkers chris and gar and listen to that shit, honestly i think that what you said is dumb, lets just talk about his drumming greatness, idk what it is but the way he hits the toms on wake up dead sounds so fucking badass during the spider chord@@themetalone7739
it doesnt matter if he did drugs or not, taking heroin doesnt magically make you a good musician, he is a good musician and drummer with or without drugs, yeah unfortunately he had an addiction and i wish he was still here, hes a fkn legend@@themetalone7739
yes, the artificial intelligence tool I used is definitely having that, I need to find a way to maybe use something better or find higher quality audio...
