Megadeth Conquer or Die

[Black Shadow]

Yea Risk and Cryptic Writings were pretty poppy but that was Dave's idea from what I read. But I think it's good imho that Marty went on his own path. It's funny because when he left, I also got into Jpop and Kpop and went on a similar path he did. I think my thought patterns are more like him than other any one else if I had to relate to any metal player.

He might not have been compatible playing Thrash after a decade since he got bored of it, but during the time when he was in it, I think he put his ALL into it. The melodic vibrato and solos is what gave Megadeth a nice contrast to their crushing rhythm. I think most Megadeth fans agreed , and I think him alone help sell a shit ton of Kelly's and make them popular. I can't name a single player who's iconic with the Jackson Kelly after Marty. Lots of players use it but none are famous for it.
For other guitars, many became famous for it, like a legion of famous Les Paul players, but only 1 Kelly guy.

I had never even heard of the Kelly before I saw Marty with it. And I can't name anyone else who has played it since, either.
