  • Megaeth has had its fair share of lead guitarists over the years and in this video we look at one of the oldest vs. the newest. Kiko Loureiro vs. Chris Poland.
    While both have slightly different styles, there are some similarities including both having incredible chops. Poland is best known for his playing within the band Ohm whereas Kiko made his name in Angra.

    Chris Poland is unbeatable that style is unique to him and no one else

  • @rickmushinski8675
    @rickmushinski8675 Před rokem +35

    Nothing against Kiko, dude is an absolute beast but I don't know that I could pull him out of a group of guitarist by style. But Chris, I could tell you within a few scales that that is without doubt Chris Poland. Totally unique tone and phrasing. The album he did with his brother Mark, Return to Metalopolis, is easily one of the best books in the metal Bible and some of the greatest guitar work ever!

  • @romaneberle
    @romaneberle Před rokem +14

    ah, finally, some serious Chris Poland appreciation :-)

  • @GabAssbreaker
    @GabAssbreaker Před rokem +25

    Ill take Chris Poland over both Kiko and Marty Friedman any day, he's the Alan Holdsworth of Thrash Metal. I still love Kiko Louriero tho, his work on the first Angra album is wonderful, and i don't think i need to talk about Marty's greatness, the man invented his own style.

  • @rushshukla4636
    @rushshukla4636 Před rokem +10

    Chris Poland! His legato is so fluid like Holdsworth. It doesn't even sound like a guitar. It could be sax or piano. Kiko is technically amazing as is Friedman and Broderick but they are just not on his level. Poland smokes them all. His index finger got trapped in a door at school and distended the joint which has worked to his advantage allowing him to stretch out more. No one alive can play like he does. He's freaking outta this world. Best Deth guitarist.

  • @arnyarny77
    @arnyarny77 Před 10 měsíci +5

    Like someone said in the comments, Chris poland is the Alan holdsworth of metal, I agree,

  • @elevenAD
    @elevenAD Před 7 měsíci +2

    That last Poland clip blew my mind!

  • @labontetrevor
    @labontetrevor Před rokem +18

    Chris Poland has a style all his own, and his timing and flow are second to none. Plus, the man was improvising. Everyone else’s solos are canned and memorized. Chris Poland is a heavy duty fusion player who was just jobbing with Megadeth, but managed to smoke pretty every other metal guitar player to this day! Was he even trying? He plays fantastic lines, like Jan Hammer/Mahavishnu, but without studying music theory, and without being able to really bend or move his index finger.

  • @CarloRegadasGuitar
    @CarloRegadasGuitar Před rokem +10

    Both are technically very gifted, although I'd say Chris Poland is the more musical of the two.

  • @isaiahneilguitaristofficia549

    Kiko is great, Poland is great and unique.

  • @shanerose5348
    @shanerose5348 Před rokem +7

    Kiko is a fantastic player, no contest. But there is something about Chris Poland- be it vibrato, phrasing, that smoking legato, bending- you just KNOW, immediately, exactly who it is you're listening to. Poland for me.

  • @BlackCat-uq2es
    @BlackCat-uq2es Před rokem +7

    Chris sound like Chris, Kiko sounds like many others...Respect for both but Poland 👍

  • @sramredd9856
    @sramredd9856 Před rokem +7

    I say Chris has gotten a lot better over the years. I like Kiko, but I like Chris style better, and the unique way he frets the guitar while still able to play like that.

    • @elevenAD

      Thank his brother for that, i think it was his bro who smashed him through the glass door and jacked up his hand.

    @GonnaGetYouBoi Před rokem +5

    Chris will put these dudes to sleep. Marty is obviously amazing.. but the solos Chris was playing... what the f***? Was basically, like quite possibly.. one of the first jazz fusion players to throw solos over thrash metal.

    Poland he’s like a cross between Jeff beck and holdsworth. His tone is unbelievable and notes practically sing

  • @klaush.1255
    @klaush.1255 Před měsícem

    Chris Poland, because he has such a unique style that you recognize after a few notes. I've been a big fan of his since 1985.

  • @oywee928
    @oywee928 Před měsícem

    I really like Kiko,but Poland is an original, unique sounding beast. You already know from the first notes who`s playing. btw: There`s also been mentioned by some of the former Megadeth-guitarists, that Poland`s leads are the most difficult for them trying to duplicate.

    Wow, this is a surprice, I didn't know much about Poland and after this video I looked for his discography and he has worked in many albums, honestly now I think is better than kiko but I really love kiko in Megadeth

    in terms of melodically catchy pop notes I prefer Kiko, but in uniqueness of style department, it's defenitely Chris

  • @MercutioUK2006
    @MercutioUK2006 Před 8 dny

    Even Kiko calls Chris an amazing player that is incredibly hard to emulate. Taking nothing away from Kiko of course, he's an absolute monster..........if only on tone, Chris still deserves the win - for me at least.

      And Stephen Taranto spanks everybody you mentioned including skolnick. It matters nothing. It has nothing to do with this video. This video is Kiko vs Chris. Idk why you boomers feel the need to state your irreverent opinion on EVERYTHING

  • @northeastoutdooradventures3787

    I have to agree with everybody in the comments Kiko is a great guitarist no denying that however Chris has more feeling behind what he plays

  • @alexfadista
    @alexfadista Před rokem +1

    Louriero? It's Loureiro. He's very professional, very good technique and pretty versatile, but quite impersonal. Poland is more unique, he's the real artist whereas Loureiro is just a very good professional musician, so to me it's Poland by far.

  • @Howenow1
    @Howenow1 Před měsícem

    You can immediately tell that it's Poland because he has a very limited vocabulary. He plays the same lines and scales over and over--he runs out of ideas pretty quickly. Kiko has more variety and surprises in his playing.

  • @marcusvinicius8500
    @marcusvinicius8500 Před rokem +2

    There is no competition. Kiko Loureiro is leagues above Poland.

  • @preston2636
    @preston2636 Před rokem +3

    Kiko definitely has better technique. Chris has some very inneficient fretting and bad habits in his left hand. Chris poland is pretty over rated.

    • @forageroffreedom
      @forageroffreedom Před 9 měsíci +1

      I believe he talked about his ring finger being paralyzed early on, so his fretting is stranger than mose

    • @themechanix8804
      @themechanix8804 Před 6 měsíci +2

      So overrated that even the boys of Megadeth: Marty Friedman, Kiko Loureiro, Chris Broderick, Glen Drover and so on, praises the guy.
