New Megadeth guy Better than Marty Friedman? 

Great Channel Mr. Shred!

Nope, the ultimate test is if he IMPROVISE great solos, not write them.

@@melchior2678 Go troll somewhere else. It's the same thing.

He already has tbh. Check out his guest solos in Bloodshot Dawn - The Image Faded (the first solo after the tapping part), and his guest solo in Buried Realm - Asphyxiation's Lullaby. The solo (more like a collection of different guest solos + solos from the bands guitarists) from The Image Faded already regularly makes it to "Top Metal solos of all time" lists TOGETHER with Tornado Of Souls, despite being released in 2014. He never got to write any solos in Wintersun because Jari wanted to have 100% control of the writing himself, even if find Teemu's solos to be more musical and follow the chords better than any solo Jari ever wrote for Wintersun.

@@Melodeath00 the comment wasn’t a knock on Teemu it was a response to the videos assertion. Anybody can learn a pre written work. Gotta check those out!

People can duplicate a solo. But not every one can write a killer solo.

I'm a bit of a fanboi, but technically Teemu is supreme, but there are dozens of capable guitar players who can play the parts. It's not about playing, but composing!

I guess Marty is also 30 years older so Teemu is a product of a younger generation and is bound to be technically adept.

No, he is much better in terms of techique, but I do prefer Marty style and solos

I haven't seen this new guy much but Chris Broderick was probably Megadeth's best for technique. Marty was just better at coming up with stuff that sounded good.

@@TacTicMint You should listen and watch Kiko Loureiro solo stuff, you will see that he is the best in technique in Megadeth, and probably the best in the world no joke

Temple of Shadows is a masterpiece.

The Sonic Studio live is batshit crazy good.

Dave has swiped amazing guitar players from bands I like from Cacophony onwards. Hope Teemu doesn't leave Wintersun completely.

Will check these out! Thx!

So you clearly didn`t lsten to his solo albums. These dudes are not even close. Good but far from Marty.

How cam you forget Poland???

@@1gbayfisher that wasn't my intention. My point is that they were all great players.

⁠@@1gbayfisherChris Poland was the best. Marty Friedman said Polands parts were extremely hard to even get down; much less nail them. Chris can play anything and I mean ANYTHING! Don’t let the ‘old guy’ bit fool you for even one second. The advantage Chris has on his stuff is the mis-healed finger on his fret hand. All these new players have some good sweep tricks and picking stuff they do, but none of them can do Poland’s string bends like he can and it’s because of his finger that healed incorrectly. If you listen to Chris’ solos you can hear this unique bending that he does and not Friedman; not Broderick (overrated player) ; and not Kiko can do this bend correctly. I’ve seen Friedman and Broderick really try; but it’s the same as watching this New guy try doing the exotic scale bending that Friedman does, they just cannot replicate it! It’s good enough to pass inspection and go through with a show; but is it really doing either Chris or a Marty any REAL JUSTICE and the answer is absolutely NOT! I hope this new guy will actually sit down and really learn Marty and Chris’ parts like they deserve and those two guys have earned for them to be learned and not just ‘ Ok. Everybody seems happy with the take I’ve got on it, that’s good enough.’ No! SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND LEARN EVERYTHING NOTE FOR NOTE - NOTE BY NOTE - GET THE TIMING DOWN- GET THE BENDING DOWN UNTIL YOU PLAY THEM SIDE BY SIDE AND YOU NOR ANYONE ELSE CAN TELL WHO IS WHO! This I learned the basics I’ll improvise the rest Chris Broderick stuff was crap! Nobody has done Marty or Chris justice yet and it’s time that they do!! I’m tired of everybody just doing the bare minimum and getting the pass. Those two artists deserve better! If this new guy is so badass as everybody claims he is and keeps fanning his ego and saying he’s this new phenomenon, then learning how to play two old school players leads and fills note for note- bend for bend shouldn’t be a problem at all right? It should be easy to smoke those old players with all that “talent” lol NOTE FOR NOTE; BEND FOR BEND, TIMING SPOT ON. Well, let’s see it…

well said buddy!@@richardcurtis1912

Pitrelli’s Dread solo 🔥🔥🔥

@AndasfasY Have you seen this video where Teemu and Brandon play together Stratovarius?😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EjdHoZhk4Wo.html

He's great. But still, i think that Brandon is a notch above in therms of expression, tone and personality, as a player. Brandon has a very distinct touch, i can recognize his bending and vibrato from miles away. His sweep and economy picking is Jason Becker level. To me, he's one of the best metal guitar players from his generation. And also, he can sing very well.

They are friends, too

@Apocalypse2031 Anything memorable? Wintersun's first album is THE melodeath album. Just because you don't listen to anything outside this old shit doesn't mean the world doesn't keep moving.

@Apocalypse2031 So what if it's more popular? I personally like Wintersun's music more than the music of any of the bands you listed including Megadeth. Why does it matter what in 20 years will be more popular? Truth is all those bands are past their prime and newer bands will now never be able to reach the highs that those bands achieved, not even those bands themselves can. But wintersun actually has something more and new to give musically while all those bands just keep on playing the same music they have been playing since the 80's.

That must have been a suprising moment, I can imagine😄 I saw the news about Teemu going touring with Megadeth before Megadeths first gig with him, so I was prepared🤘

I had a lesson with him a few weeks back. He told me it’ll be his last lesson for a while because he got gig work. Then a few weeks after that I saw that he was going to play with Megadeth. My jaw dropped lol

@@chrisking6695 Dang that's cool. Might be hard to get lessons with him now that he is suddenly a lot more famous.

Yeah, I know Wintersun way more than Megadeth so this is like an opposite situation for most people.

@@LongLiveRockAnRoll I know both, I started to listening to Megadeth something like 34 years ago, but Wintersun is number 1 for me definitely😊

So Did Chris Broderick and Kiko nail it

@@djcflash they are both good but not as close as the original, but Teemu nailed it closest.

He’s good not better than Marty

Attended Megadeth show in NJ last night. After the first song I knew I would need to check out his work with Wintersun.

I'd say Kiko has an amazing phrasing just as good as Marty, check his solo from Newborn Me and Time (both from Angra) and Du Monde from his latest solo album, or even Samba da Elisa from his Brazilian Jazz-Fusion record (my personal favorite)

Good words, but this crybaby who made a high tech studio out of is drugshouse is the best on listing ad solo's never keeps in mind who wrote them and this guy will kick rocks after this tour. Megadeth can't be Megadeth anymore! Nick, Marty and junior made is so good that Dave could do his thing

Fuck yeah he is. 👍👍🍻🍻

wintersun is a studio band and this guy is a youtube modern shredder..no soul no charisma no presence

​@@naturalianoss Compared to Wintersun and Teemu you're just a shitty youtube comment.

​@@naturalianossopinions from moms basement are always like that.

your moms ?

@@naturalianoss Someone's reeeaaaally jealous XD!!

Is that the guy from Winter sun?

​@@neogoats8738yes

@@neogoats8738 Yes he is. Very tecnical music and lot of changes.

hmmm, Loomis wil soon drop a new solo album. I wish there were more guitarists like him. Teemu has not reached that level yet.

@@MusicheadRick Teemu is very tecnical and very experienced guitarist. So what are you talking about?

Wouldn't hurt if you share it here on YT. 😁

Plus Kai and Jukka are with Nightwish

Starchild is a banger. The first album lived in my Discman for months at a time.

​@@LordBaktorIn a certain time of my life I listened to Starchild all day long for months.

Wintersun is still a thing. Jari just takes more than 15 years to finish a album so Teemu has to find some other gigs too.

@@jani14jani Well, Jari is a perfectionist but it always pays off with the scope of his music. The fact he can make the songs 100% by himself and leave the others on the backburners probably attributes to the other members moving on to other projects. Let Jari cook.

Yeah the Sonic Pump Studios videos

And the live performance of "Storm". The solo in that song is insane.

Marty is the best guitarist Thrash Metal ever had.

No, you are. 😂

Debatable. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Marty also held his wrist so wonky that it made me feel sick. Teemu is easiert to watch. 😂

Chris Poland was, even Dave basically admitted it

​@@metalinspiration Exactly. 💯👍

He smokes weed? I thought he only drinks WAP juice

(cough) Gar Samuelson (cough)

Sure kiko can play jazz fusion and bossa nova, but to say he is a "jazz guy" makes no sense whatsoever. Most of the guy's jobs that made him famous are metal, playing in his band, Angra.

@alfredoneto452 this is true he is metal .Kiko is not Gulthrie Govan

Probably. Did you ever listen to Cacophony? Or any of his work on Dragon's Kiss?

Not true. They are playing “we’ll be back” off the new release and “dystopia” prior release

Indeed, IMO (melodeth, powermetal, folkmetal etc). is harder to pull off than trash metal. And I think for example Time1 album has elements from neoclassical metal and symphonic metal too. Wintersun can`t be put to just one or two genre, it has elements of so many. Maybe Wintersun could just be called "epic metal"😊

If we think for example WIntersun`s live Sonic pump studio sessions. There can be seen for example, how important role right timing has in Wintersun. Every note and sound has to be in place just at the right moment. Jari would not have accepted it otherwise.
