This music is therapy for me right now. I never really listened to them until I was 36. I love Sabbath and stuff, but never really listened to much death metal; seems Death is a genre unto itself, as well as creators of a genre.

Awesome!! That’s just fucking awesome!! Great you are alive dude!

hell yeah welcome back to the living, brother :)

Perennial Quest dude!!!!

Don't know when that was brother. But seriously do hope you are much much better now. And I get it and totally know what you mean about how the music can be therapeutic and literally get into your soul to help you through the worst of times. Different artists groups and releases from different metal genres have really helped me out over the years as well. And I think if you look at my screen name you will see I have been around a little while! 🤘🍻

Absolutely missing the notes😢 Maybe because of live playing. But I like he plays too!

bass sounds sooooo cool! its true

Yeah, but needs to stfu on the mic. I get they need "someone to amp the crowd", but I can't stand how much he loves hearing himself on the mic live year after year.

Have to give it up to Dirk he handled everything pretty well.

Steve is phenomenal on bass! Dirks a great drummer too.

one of the best for sure

A Monsterrrrrrrr

He is King of the fretless bass

Steve DiGiorgio was in Megadeth at one point

Dirk is a consummate musician. Amazing.

​@@tzctlpcNo he wasn't, he was hired for the studio album recording of The Sick, The Dying and The Dead. He was never officially a full time member, he's Testament's full-time bassist.

We got Dirk to play for one of our songs in 2013 (Soilwork era?) for $500. It was never released but he still did amazing work.

Dirk has been playing percussion on a level far beyond Megadeth for most of his life. Trust me, he's just taking it easy when he's Megadeth's percussionist. He'd never admit to it though, dude is as humble as it gets.

He looks like a wizard with that beard as well 😂

Thanks Chuck

God bless you

Power sings

This show deserves a professional recording.

Good track Bag🙂

#FuckCancer

Dirk is amazing

He was great with the hoglan stuff too and same rules apply

Too bad Richard couldn't have played this.

Yes he is one of the greats

Such a cool sound he gets & finger playing looks awesome

the other guy was good too tho i dont know who he is tho

@@lucasstruna3962 I think he's the one that recorded bass on symbolic

@@Gaelpoo oh cool

death is universal

Check a band that I enjoy on a daily is The Black Dahlia Murder.Id say check out 'Verminous',or even "Ritual' albums out.My personal fav is "Noctural' or 'Miasma'.Unhallowed is good if you jump right into their heaviest stuff right out the bag.And maybe you would enjoy Devildriver is another good band "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand' is one of my DD albums.

Chuck Shuldiner was a prophet 🤘 (I always kinda personally thought, anyways)😏🎸🎶🤘🔥🤘

Dirks not as good as a lot of other drummers. I’m actually surprised he pulled it off

@@ghostninja2041 he is a great drummer but in this show he got out of step way too much

@@sam.n7762 really? After watching a bit of this he seems like he really nailed it

@@ghostninja2041 are you nuts? Dirk is insanely good.

@@behindthen0thing I would say ur name but I don’t speak whatever fuckin language you speak.

Agreed. He sounded KILLER.

Agreed. Chuck's vocals were so distinctive, and the fact that he's replicating that sound so flawlessly while also playing those complex-ass guitar is fucking nuts.

Max = bottom

@@sabian4ik 🤨

Hell yes. For years I never expected someone to come along who could fill in for chuck yet still retain his or her personality.

Hell, he even looks the part.

Chucks reincarnation

Thanks!

Wish somebody took photos/recorded the lyric sheets for WMAMC. I could only decipher few song titles like Manifest of Maggots, A Perfect Disguise, Sky, Excellent Misery.

Well Nevermore could just get back together and handpick a singer. The guy currently in Sanctuary is fantastic.

@@jonnyh2667 Even they can't perform that music any more.

My old Oakland based band Thanatopsis had the honor of opening for Death and Nevermore two nights in a row at Berkeley Square in 1995 during the Symbolic tour and Nevermore was promoting their self titled debut album, but half the set were Sanctuary songs which was fine by me! The bigger honor was being able to converse with both Chuck and Warrel since they are now no longer with us! Chuck was sick with the flu during those shows so he mostly stayed on Death’s tour bus and wasn’t as approachable and talkative as he was when we opened for death during their previous tour supporting their Individual Thought Patterns album in 1993 at the Stone in SF, an iconic club from the beginning of the Bay Area Thrash Scene where Metallica played a lot during their Garage Days etc. Anyhow, I digress, since Nevermore was touring in a van back then, they were trapped in the green room with us, and we were geeking out especially me because Sanctuary was one of our favorite bands and Warrel was one our favorite lyricists/singers, so I sort of bombarded him with questions about Sanctuary lyrics etc. but he was very approachable and was more than happy to answer my questions! I think my fan boy-ness inspired them to add a few more sanctuary songs to the set list, but then Warrel commented that they were excessive with the Sanctuary songs on the set list, to which I replied you can never play too many sanctuary songs but wasn’t too familiar with Nevermore yet, so nowadays I would rather hear some Nevermore deep cuts than Sanctuary songs but at some point both bands were active at the same time so no need for Nevermore to play Sanctuary “covers”! They always remembered me/us at future Nevermore gigs, in fact Jeff Loomis told me at one of those future gigs that he still had/has the Thanatopsis shirt we gave him and he wore on stage during the second night we played with them and Death at Berkeley Square so that was really flattering considering how much Band Merch they are given on tours, we stood out! Warrel was not only a great lyricist/singer but a great human being, I feel blessed to of been in his and Chuck’s presence, May They both Rest In Power!

@@chrisstolle Thanx for the comprehensive insights and story, a great, one in a life time experience I guess. Anyhow, Nevermore and Sanctuary are the ONLY bands that had me buy all their releases / discographies. There are several other bands with flawless discographies (Death included) but for some reason Nevermore / Sanctuary are the chosen ones in that respect. Into metal since '91, I had the chance to see Nevermore live on 14.03.2001 on their Dead Heart tour with Annihilator and Soilwork, a show I will never forget. Hopefully, Jeff Loomis will continue to release his instrumental works to keep the Nevermore - like metal flame alive. I will check out your frm band Thanatopsis, I have seen on Metal Archives they have one album out. Regards from Romania 's Transylvania region, Eastern Europe). Metal memories over space and time

@@jonnyh2667 Many lead singers can be replaced but several few cannot. King Diamond and Warrel Dane are among those few. Mercyful Fate and Nevermore can never carry on without these two without turning into some completely different bands. As of now I am not aware of someone who can replace Warrel also considering he's one of a kind songwriting skills. Queensryche had a perfect replacement with Todd la Torre on board (same tone, vocal range), literally reviving the band.

I remember the first time I heard death back in the early 90's. There have only been a hand full of metal albums that were actually so good, that they scared me. Spiritual Healing was the first albumI heard from Death. Then later that year, 90 or 91,the album Human came out, that album had such a huge impact upon my life, and changed how I played music.

Bloody Irony

I still wish he got to record Symbolic (no disrespect to Kelly)!

Epic tone for sure! What a beast!

@@jason_108 Still regret passing up my chance for a custom Esp Forest 6 string fretless MiJ a few years ago, especially after hearing this show...

P. L l l. P ppl

@@josuerodriguez6067 I know man.

So glad you had a great time!! We put ALOT of time and effort into this show and is nice to know people enjoyed it!!

@@stephenberwanger5812 Thanks for doing it. In my case it was a dream come true because I used to live in Puerto Rico and I eas unable to see Death wich Chuck. 20 years later I moved to Tampa and I could only dream about a show like this, and you guys made it come true. Thanks.

Beautifullest

The drummer of Megadeth is underrated? Also playing in a Death tribute...I don't think so...

@@diegoq8417 He doesn't get enough attention is what I've meant.

And that's why no one should film up front of stage as you will miss out things.

@@V3ntilator sorry but that doesn't make any sense. It's pretty hard to miss someone playing a lead. Turn your head 4 inches. I've been collecting bootleg videos for 30 years and rarely are people so clueless that they miss the lead. You should film up close if possible actually. Clearer pic, better detail.
