    In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to the music of Megadeth for the third time. I was completely blown away by the absolute brilliance of Marty Friedman's guitar playing. I also loved the songwriting and chord progressions. Of the Megadeth tunes I've heard so far, this one's my favorite! I hope you enjoy!

      Rust in Peace as we know it wouldn't have been possible with Nick. He was absolutely the most perfect drummer for this album and that's just a fact. Nick was unique in many ways and that's why destiny landed him with Megadeth at the right time to make this masterpiece. RiP Nick, we miss you but you gave us plenty to remember you by

      Nick was one of the best metal drummers in my opinion. I have difficulties listening to non-Menza eras. There might be good songs outside of Menza era, but I won't usually re-listen those tracks, because the others don't have enough "air" between the beats.

His clearity and definition are very distinct. 30+ years later that solo still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Really glad you enjoyed it Doug.

    One of the best metal albums ever recorded. I love the songs, I love the production (Actual bass guitar! Guitars that cut through the mix and aren't overly-distorted! Punchy drums! It's the polar opposite of ...and Justice For All, lmao), the melodies are on point, the drumming is on point, and Marty just melts your face over and over and over again in almost every song. Just incredible musicianship from every dude on the album. This used to be my warmup in my earlier years of playing, where I would run through at least the rhythm sections of every song to get ready before practice or a gig. Hell, I still love playing these songs; they're timeless! Every time I relearn the lead in Tornado of Souls, I end up playing it like 50 times in a row, lol. It's just so catchy and so much FUN to play.

      ------------
      The story of Marty Friedman's improvised solo in Megadeth's "Tornado of Souls" has been mentioned in various interviews and articles over the years. It seems that the most likely source of this story is an interview with Dave Mustaine himself.
      In a 2010 interview with Guitar World, Dave Mustaine talked about the recording of "Rust in Peace," the album on which "Tornado of Souls" appears. He mentioned that when Marty Friedman finished recording the solo for the song, Mustaine came into the studio, listened to it once, and then shook Marty's hand without saying a word. Mustaine said that it was at that moment that he felt Marty was the right guitarist for the band.
      It's worth noting that, as with many stories in the music industry, details may have been embellished or changed over time. However, the core of the story appears to be rooted in Dave Mustaine's own account of the recording process.

I've always felt that you could literally hear and feel the venom dripping from his lips. Don't know of another singer like him. Perfect for Megadeth.

      I agree. Especially with regard to Countdown. Can't really speak to anything on Youthinasia. It wasn't my cup of tea.
      Something like Foreclosure or Sweatting Bullets are different but good examples of what Dave's voice can do for a song. Might even help contextualize his voice in their earlier material.

    For context, Marty Friedman was in a band (Cacophony) with Jason Becker (who I know you've reacted to) before joining Megadeth. Both are incredible guitarists, that influenced each other's playing. If you want to hear more of Marty Friedman, I'd recommend Undertow which is off of one his solo albums. His phrasing and note choice is unlike any other guitarist.

Opus Pocus, Speed Metal Symphony, or Mables Fatal Fable. Jason was an insane talent taken away from us, and despite that, composed an album entirely with his frickin eyes. i would love for you to give him more attention as every song the dude has ever composed should be in a museum. - Keep doing your thing doug!
