[QUOTE="nimatoad2000"][QUOTE="FFCYAN"]Sound good. To me, speed isn't everything, but I think Dave is one of the best guitarist around. Kirk's playing is more varied though.

are you serious? all kirks playing is going up and down the fretboard really fast with solo's and doing pentatonic scales. james wrote all metallica's songs that dave didnt , and with black and post, theirs a interview with bob rock and lars in some documentary saying they would tell kirk how they wanted solo's to sound like... the only song kirk wrote was creeping death, a good song, but cmon its one song, and pretty much every song on the first 4 megadeth albums are better than creeping death minus liar , 502 and mary jane from SFSGSW. but seriously.. kirks solo's are just speed up and down, soo boring.
check this dyer's eve video from this year, he scrapes the solo. he cant keep up with the speed so he stops and comes back in. he messes up 3 times ON HIS OWN SOLO!!!!!!!!.. id like to see him cry while trying to play tornado of souls and fail.
I still enjoy his solos though. BTW Broderick owns both Kirk and Mustaine technically and he can bust Tornado of Souls solo perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0k8holIGTU Now is up to the new album to tell if he's better than Friedmanso far broderick hasnt proven to me that he is a good musician. he is more technically proficient than marty friedman, but what i mean is that he hasn't written any good music or solo's in jag panzer or anywhere else. i saw a couple jag panzer solo's and was dissapointed honestly.. it was just fast up and down the neck stuff.. i have no question of his skills, but musical composition is another thing.. when it comes to friedman, after listening to all his solo work, i can come to the conclusion that he is an ace at atmosphere and mood, but his overall song writing is not too hot. his solo's are beutiful, but if you listen to dragon's kiss, the riffs and rest of songs are just average for a virtuoso... chris poland on the other hand , his jazz fusion band is awesome , and i love his work with megs. i think i put him above friedman overall though.
when it comes to writing thrash riffs, imo no one beats dave mustaine, were excluding solo's here, their is no thrash metal band with better riffs than megadeth, both technically, and imo memorably. that is why he was #1 metal guitarist in that one dudes book :P
@ FFCYAN - he's not only into metal, he went into pop rock kinda stuff as he went twards risk, he also says a lot of times in interviews that he loves ****cal music, jazz and ****c rock.
