Happy Birthday to me! 69 years old! For my birthday it’s Tornado of Souls played by Megadeth’s best lineup. This song has prolly the best metal guitar solo ever. Marty Friedman is an epic guitarist. I read somewhere that when Mustaine heard this solo after Marty laid it down he just turned to him and shook his hand.

And as a bonus, from the same concert, In My Darkest Hour. How Mustaine plays those opening chords is beyond me. Talk about stretching the fingers. And he does it on a 12 string!

CharlieDelta gave me the DVD of this concert for Veterans’ Day a few years back.
