- After working NAMM 2015 with ultimate guitar, Chris Poland invited me and two friends to his studio to do a interview. Its been a while since I did this interview, I waited to post it because Chris had mentioned to me he wanted to see it first so I held off, but never really got to show it to him, so I decided in the memory of Nick Menza's passing I should post it because he had been mentioned in our conversation. R.I.P. Nick Menza
There's something ironically funny about Poland learning a Megadeth song from a Dave Mustaine video lesson
You sir are one of the most under-rated guitarists of all time.
Amen....he was brilliant on "The system has failed."
Thanks bro I try
What’s the point of the being the best if you do nothing with it
Up there with Alex Lifeson.
Underrated is a word I’d like to subside. The most over user word on CZcams
Just say someone one great and you love them. 😅
lol - Chris Poland learning to Holy Wars for Nick Menza from a Dave Mustaine video lesson -- you can't make that shit up!
(In a good way)
funny thing is that Chris Poland recorded Holy Wars demo version.
Was Holy Wars actually written that far back that Poland was still in the band?
Not exactly. Dave asked him to join the band again after he fired Jeff Young, but he declined because he was newly sober and didn't want the pressures of touring to cause him to relapse (although he did record lead tracks for some of the RIP demos evidently). Anyway Holy Wars was written around this time.
I wish he would rejoin Megadeth.
Chris Poland is so amazingly talented.
MrEyebrowz Oh most definitely. He was an accomplished jazz guitarist before he ever joined Megadeth. Fusion jazz at that.
It's so sad when they were talking about all the awesome stuff he was gonna do with Nick, and now he's gone :( still can't believe he's dead
thinking this viewing now
@@TheInundation same
I quote Dave mustaine "chris is an amazing guitarist and can play circles around me."
@beyondthegreatdivide six I would have to disagree on that. Mustaine meant chris was better than him all around.
i would try and out shred em both at the same time....
XxxthehunterxxX hawk you missed the point. Dave said Chris Poland could play leads around Him and Dave could play rhythm around Chris
@@EricJaegerMusic Yeah cause that's totally what he said. NOT!
XxxthehunterxxX hawk Dave Mustaine said Chris Poland can play circles around him. The other comment said that Dave can play rhythm around Chris as in Chris May be the better leads but Dave riffs better. That’s exactly what they said. Don’t get an attitude with me because you can’t read English, poser.
I love the fact that one of the most amazing metal guitarists of all time looks like a guy you would see down at the VFW or feed store.
Lol, yeah and you wouldn't guess he could shred like does. He'd put a lot of guitarist to shame.
Chris is a awesome person, and amazing guitarist of course. 👏🎸
Amazing interview! Chris is very humble and honest about these Megadeth songs....they're so hard to play!! RIP Nick
holy shit chris looks old. but what a legend. respect
Sy Benson
Jesus Fuck...... I SHOULD feel and look old, but I don't, but Jesus.... 30 fucking years.....
It's just that everyone else in the bizness dye their hair and wear contacts instead of glasses.
He looks decent for a 60 year old who's dipped into a few hard core binges over the years.
Heroin will do that.
@@markandersen793 I know. Thank God I got out alive.
Poland Samuelsson era is the best.
It's a honor having Chris on our roster. \m/ \m/
And its an honor to have his personal Floyd with your Rock Block in my Lynch Bones!
When Chris himself said that going back and learning megadeth stuff is hard makes me feel better about struggling to learn megadeth sometimes cuz it really be that way 🤣🤣🤣
Great interview. Chris has the recognizable playing style. You can listen to him for 2 seconds and know its him.
Lol there are some moments where it gets a bit awkward! The interviewer should've gotten ready with his questions, Chris looked kinda bored. Anyway thanks for the interview, Chris Poland is one of the best, glad to know more about him.
lol to be honest with you, i dont do this kind of stuff. i just randomly got a job for NAMM and went trying to talk with people i was a fan of, this interview was last minute and it was more improvised then anything, it was just some random experience i put myself in, and chris was down to talk and hang out with me. it was more of a friend conversion. but thanks for suggestion regardless :)
I dont think that it gets awkward. You did pretty good in my opinioN!
"thank you mommy" HAHA.
Jokes aside, it's nice to watch interviews to Chris Poland.
Chris is So Amazing and Humble... I love watching his interviews ... and listening to his music ... Tremendous Artist !

At 23:00 wow, that has always been my dream Megadeth line-up.
Dave Mustaine - Vocals/Lead
David Ellefson - Bass
Chris Poland - Rhythm
Nick Menza - Drums
Wish gar had he's turn too....
If you ask yourself, who this man is: he played that famous, eerie guitar solo in one of the most sickest and brutal metal songs ever: Good Mourning Black Friday
Hell yeah! Such an amazing song!
Polland's parts in Wake Up Dead instantly changed shit for me. All of the sudden I realized how fucking awesome Jazz is.
Wow, Chris is dropping some great info on tiny details.
You should do a interview where he just goes over guitar setups.
The sound chris poland (and gar's fills) added to megadeth during the peace sells era is unmatched. Such an awesome display of thrash metal mixed with poland's jazz/fusion background. Fuckin legends
Really great interview, thanks!
Thanks for posting the interview. Always good to hear Chris talking about his tone, his guitars etc. Such an underrated guitar player.
Chris Poland is a GREAT MAN!! He is amazing at guitar, also we could learn slot from this guy on life and adversity!!!
Very cool interview, a fav guitarist, thank you!
The best.
Period.
Nick going 'Gar mode' is just the best sounding thing I've heard of! RIP Gar and Nick.
Oh man, I would have loved to see a set with that lineup
I saw Peace Sells!
and I've seen a few other tours after.
But nothing like that night 1986 in Santa Monica.
opening for Motorhead .
Genius.
Man, this is so intresting but so sad now... I would've killed for hearing Chris, James and Nick (in Gar mode) playing new tunes and Megadeth covers, just the thought of it makes me salivate like a Pavlov's dog. I'm both Megadeth and Ohm or anything Poland fan. And my absolute favourite Megadeth drummers are Gar and Nick. So so sad.
chris is such a fucking legend
CHRIS, KEEP JAMMING, U ARE 1 OF THE BEST THAT'S EVER DONE IT
All those odd time signatures... like 3/4? Gotta laugh.
Hilarious I use to use a Hafler T3 into the PV 120/120 as well back in the day!
He has an unusual style
Yeah because his finger was destroyed a long time ago.
Hes such an un metal dude. Amazing player.
hes mostly a fusion guy
I think thats an excellent interview. A "guitarists" interview. Whoever says Chris seems bored obviously is looking in another interview. Questions are sharp and floating.....
thanks man! appreciate the comment. it was a little nerve racking, interviewing such a amazing guitarist/person like chris poland. hes legendary! but i was really curious about his tone,sound, and rig set up
check out the alex skolnick, and dave ellefson ones too ;)
So nice to hear him say that stuff is hard to play. 😂 It's not just me.
RIP Nick
I was quite surprised to see him playing holy wars at the beginning.
interviewer doesnt seem very interested by what Chris is saying. I couldn't imagine sitting down with Chris talking to him and asking him questions, would be life changing. Chris has so much to say, but these questions aren't really enabling that in my opinion.
From my heart DAVID MUSTAINE should write him a fat check 50G. He owes him a career
James who?
So what is the name of the studio building that Chris works at?
Downtown Rehearsal in Studio City, Los Angeles.
Sorry about the lag on a reply. I haven't been on here in a while. Thanks for watching!
you are so brave!
*My Idol, I wish that the Peace Sells line up was the permanent Megadeth line up instead of the sleep inducing cafe rock Friedman Menza era. Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland were pure electric. Very Good interview, no dumb questions.*
You’re insane
Eric Jaeger tbh he’s not wrong
They went from Black Friday to I’ll get even.
H. E. M. You’re justifying that since Dave Mustaine hires fired Poland/Gar and hired Mensa/Friedman that thats the reason Dave chose to write songs like ill get even (which is a good song even though it’s not heavy) Dave will write what Dave wants. They wrote their heaviest and fastest album with the Marty line up. If he kept Poland it’s extremely likely you’re still going to run into some worse albums down the line. Look at Metallica. HYPOTHETICALLY: If Metallica had disbanded after the black album everyone would always assume that if they had kept going they would have released tons of amazing more albums. Reality is that no, that was their last “great” album. Nobody saw what was coming. We could say the same with Poland and Gar. I’m sure it would have been great what they would have done, but I’ll still hold my money on what Marty and men a brought to the band
It's a real shame, Gar & Chris era the best!
dude, did you ask about his fingers stretching very far due for injury?
Best Megadeth Lead player - Chris Poland.
RIP Nick Menza.
Great channel name
I totally agree with him about guitar strings. But I am a GHS subzero guy. But I can deal with Ernie Balls too.
Chris it's Jef from bastard give me a heads up I live in spring Hill. New album.. I'll be at Dollar general by the military base tomorrow morning
oh my god Chris looks old. I mean... i know he IS old but he looks like he's 75!
both Ellefson and Mustaine look way younger than Poland. I'm not kidding about him looking 75, he looks about as old as my grandpa who is that age. Not trying to diss him or anything, he's my favorite Deth guitarist but Chris just clearly hasn't aged very well.
Jgilbzs do not forget this guy was on freebase, speedball and shooting heroine for years. That's what it does!
Dude, he was like 30 when he first joined Megadeth. Of course he's aged!
a mix of the hat, glasses and loads of heroin in the 80s
Shooting heroin will do that to you...
For a guy who got fired from megadeth he seems so brilliant to be fired. Wtf happend
holy wars!
Hard to hear him speak about Menz. RIP
It’s so weird looking at this guy who could be somebody’s grandpa, and then you hear the stories from Randy Burns about the band shooting up in the bathroom and you’re like, tbis guy recorded thrash metal solos are Killing is my Business and Peace Sells.
Chinese tubes blew him away. it's rare you hear about quality Chinese anything. lol, I was just debating a friend about Chinese products and the total lack of quality, I said I knew they must have plenty of products that are great, but he asked me to name one..... wish I had seen this a week ago
I woulda loved to hear ohm do a megadeth song
Gar was the BEST! RIP Gar! AKA (The Praying Mantis)!
He's just like 70yo guy.
Of course he doesn't collect guitars, he's playing a schecter
Tust look those big hands! Having hands like that must help a lot when doing big stretches lol
The interview guy doesn't seem to know much about guitars.
From ALL THE FANS as much as I like MEGADETH I like all the other members more than Mustaine
This is a true “Fucking MasterClass”.
Fuck all that other non-sense.
Holy Wars！！
holy wars弾いてるの草
Holy fuck the interviewer looks like Jodi from Shameless...
surgeyX I was saying to myself who does this guy remind me of you fuckin nailed it
13:20 Who else looked at their phone? 😂
Amateur interview and sound um um um
