I took guitar lessons from Jeff at GIT in 2006. Super cool dude, and a hell of a player.
Life after Deth. So cool that we can have an alternative version of Megadeth, playing those songs we all know and love.
Kudos to Jeff for not being afraid to talk about this stuff. I'm glad to see him back in the scene and not letting idiots and trolls get under his skin.

I hope they're able to record one of the shows in good quality. Wish I could make it to their concerts
Seems so diplomatic but I wasn’t there. Great story and fascinating to say the least. Rock on!
Jeff is a cool guy, nice to hear stories from him 🙌
That's awesome, the message is real. I find as I'm older and playing certain riffs or solos (no matter the genre) it can be extremely emotional experience just in my living room
I've watched a few videos and the guy's seem like they're having a great time on stage playing all the classic/iconic songs. Kinda bummed that Gar is gone , that would have been the tits to have him back on drums. Best of luck to them all and hope they come to South Florida at some point.
Jeff Young talked so much shit on David Ellefson last year and said he would never play metal again ha ha ha and here he is
this interview was amazing thank you so much
Thanks for letting him talk, it's great to hear an interview where the subject gets to talk at length.
Great interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
I'm smiling as I watch this because the encore was such a cool surprise!
Nice interview.
The nuggets about stage fright and the real purpose of the music were priceless. Thanks!
Can't wait to hear Skull Beneath, Peace Sells, hopefully My Last Words, Anarchy, Into the Lungs of Hell, Hook in Mouth.
this sounds awesome
Awesome
Only have read his quotes on Loudwire but it seems like Young is being cool about this. I remember during one of the Greatest Hits releases Mustaine gave him props and then when Young dropped his solo stuff he went off Mustaine in an obvious, and sad, PR move.
