I've lost my grandmother recentely, and the process was like you spoke about your mom. I saw the most joyfull person losing her strenght without losing her joy. And that was a lesson. Super nice of you to open urself like you did to help others with wisdow. Thx, Dirk.

Hey Dirk, I heard that you create your own riffs and songs. Are any of your ideas going into the new Megadeth record? Thanks!

Dirk, great video! You are a super cool guy. I admire your good vibes, positive energy, your care with the animals, and the way you live your life smiling. And, of course, as a drummer! Best regards from Brazil, my friend. Leandro Nogueira Coppi (from Roadie Crew magazine and Megadeth Brazilian Rattleheads facebook page).

Dude I’m a huge fan of your work with Soilwork and now Megadeth thanks for contributing with your music

I knew Kiko is a great person but Dirk is equally as great. Dave couldn't have picked a better group of guys ...could he? I'm proud of these men.

Some of the wisdom of older age, becoming more selective of the people you allow in your life. Life gets shorter by the day, no time and energy to waste on assholes and losers.

I love Dirk’s attitude, happiness is an inside job, it’s your mind set, you determine what kind day you’re going to have.

There are no words for how much I love this. This is the kind of thing I want to hear from my favorite people in the public eye. I couldn't care less about what guitar brand or drum heads someone uses- I want humanity. Thank you both for giving me something I care about.

Enjoying those chats a lot, man! Would love to see one with Mustaine, about the business side of running such a big band, etc!

Dan Vasc over here... nice!

Gigantesco o carisma do Dirk. Great guy!

"Everybody gets affected by negativity." Verdade verdadeira!

I knew Dirk was special, his job in Soilwork

Congratulations to Dave Mustaine for the wisdom of configuring the band with the best people ever. Kiko, Dirk and James, a salute to you guys.

I've been very fortunate to interview Dirk a couple of times for a podcast called Give the Drummer Some. He is one of the nicest human beings I've had the absolute privilege to talk to. He's pretty handy behind a drum kit too...!

Kiko actually listens in the interview.... Every current talk show host could learn from him. Great guys, great band!

The interview I was expecting. It would be cool with Uncle Dave too. Thanks!

Dirk is an awesome guy to be around. Me and my wife went to lunch with Dirk a couple of Sunday's ago. Good food and conversation and plenty of laughing. He is as genuine of a person as it gets. That's hard to find in this modern time. He's a great drum teacher as well.

Thank you Larry!

"Freedom defined for me is creativity" so true

Dirk is definitely a special guy!

I already admired Dirk. I thought: How can someone be so nice? thank you, Dirk! I wish your life is always prosperous and happy!

Love the T shirt Kiko

I absolutely loved Dirk work with Devin in "Deconstruction"!

Só falta entrevistar o chefão, kiko! não vejo a hora de você entrevistar o Dave.

Fantastic conversation between one of my favourite guitarplayers and favourite drummer 🙏🙏🙏

What happened with his mom was very similar to what happened with mine. She always got through the sickness when I was younger, but this time we knew from the begining that the tumor was inoperable. At the end she didn't even had strength to speak. Life is tough man... I miss her very much.

Seeing Dirk's face always smiling make me happy 😄

That is wonderful guys .its like when I lost my brother to cancer last November my drummer best friend I can't change it so move on and learn and continue to live.its hard but live sirs

the first minutes ............... seeing them smiling and always laughing.... it's contagious. best wishes for Dave .....

My prayers go out for Dave! Long live Dave!

John Carcamo who knows where I would be if I hadn’t discovered megadeth, they changed my life for the better

Negativity is easy and takes a lot of effort. Being happy is tough for most people. So being negative is the easy way for them.

Amen, we could all learn a thing or two from Dirk. \m/

What a great drummer and what a smart and humble (and happy ;-) )guy! Very interesting interview, thanks!

Eu sei o que vocês estão pensando. Kiko e Dirk precisam marcar uma jam pra ontem: Dirk na guitarra e Kiko na bateria. Make it happen!

Kiko, you are a Legend!!!!! Great content!!! No better way to get to know the guys!!! Love these two last interviews!!! Waiting for the one with the BOSS!!

I lost my mother on 06/03/2019 and from then to here I really am feeling that happiness is a choice. You can be happy even in mourning. You can remember the good times or only in the final period where the disease corroded your mother's body. May we be happy!

I went through similar in 1997 when my mother died and it is indeed a defining moment in one’s life. Dirk decided to carry on as there really is no other choice. Our time here is finite. Be good, do good, and expect good in return.

Dirk is so incredibly wholesome. This interview made me get my lust for life back and I'm keen to incorporate Dirk's 'philosophy' into my own way of living. Thank you so much for this, Kiko

"Everybody gets affected by negativity" Seems to be something so obvious, but there's still so much to think about this! Awesome Message.

Happiness, is one of the few things where, if one fakes it, one will eventually make it. If nothing is horrific, then life is terrific!!!

I absolutely love this guy. What a role model, and a hell of a good drummer. Keep doing your own awesome thing, Dirk!

Very smart, very deep, and yet human and humble. Thanks !

"Todo problema normalmente tem uma solução". ótima entrevista e grande lição de vida do Dirk. Parece ser um cara muito gente boa mesmo. E toca muito também

If i could play drums like you Dirk I'd always be happy.👍🏻

Dirk is a reference for life... not only for drums.

Man! I could listen Dirk the entire day. He made me reflect about my mood and actions with his philosophy. Thank you, Kiko. Thank you Dirk!

I really loved watching this vlog so much , this is really a special interview with the coolest peaceful and beautiful drummer ever . I think Dave is so lucky this time by having such Beau full musicians .

This video is easily one of my favorites ever. I just had a friend of mine pass away that I have known since we were little kids for close to 40 years. This video always cheers me up every time I watch and listen to it. This current lineup of Megadeth is my favorite ever because one all four are Phenomenal musicians, and two members like Kiko and Dirk are amazing people that you can't help but love because they both have huge hearts. I have been a huge massive fan of Megadeth's for over thirty years ever since their So Far, So Good ,So What album came out . I was barely 10 years old and all these years later they are still one of my all time favorite bands ever.

Hi am enjoying this video very cool, inspirational I needed to see this thank you guys so much and I hope all the best for Dave take care .

Just turned 49, and lost my Mom in 2014. We had a very close relationship and were friends more than anything, as she raised me alone. Cannot begin to tell you how much I relate with every word Dirk said about his Mom. Sounds like a story I would tell, almost perfectly. Before that I had rage, anger and bitterness inside of me...but losing her wiped my slate clean. I was at ground zero. I had to find happiness and reinvent it all. Now, anger is hard to reach. All those bad things that fueled me are gone, and I seek smiles and laughter. Dirk is a very wise man and I recommend everyone listen to this lesson anytime they have a bad day. Thank you, Kiko.

You guys kill it on the new Megadeth album. This version of Megadeth feels like a band again and that has been missing since the 90's. And I loved all the musicians in Megadeth, but you guys have a synergy that was missing from this band. You have brought new life and energy to Megadeth. I hope to hear a few more albums from this line up before Dave inevitably retires. Thanks you for the new album, it was worth the wait. Great musicians, great people. Love, from the Bronx.

It's nice to see nice people behind angry music! \m/

Hi from Portugal..Hope Dave recovery quick..nice video kiko..keep going..

victor hugo Oliveira I second this!

Here we are, two awesome dudes, you can definitely feel all the good vibes in the room.

Such a lovely humble person Dirk is and of course a great drummer! x

What a great guy Dirk seems to be! I just loved the interview and the way Dirk aproaches happines and life in general! Thanks

Great guy! Seems to be very good to play and be with him. Thanks for the inspiring words Dirk!

Dirk: my full respect as a great musician and person!

This was very inspirational. Thanks, to both of you! 🤘😎👍

You two are great. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and joy with the world.

"The metal face" hahahaha!! Hilarious. I met Dirk the evening of his first show with Megadeth the day after Nick Menza passed away. Great guy, and of course he had on a constant smile, was super down to earth and played an awesome show. Kiko was of course Kiko and very friendly as well. Two down to earth, great people here in this video.

More and more I am following Megadeth back again, I have a feeling that best thing happened nowadays to the Band is... are Kiko and Dirk. Keep on rocking Guys 🤘

Entrevista que vai mt além da música. Excelente!!!!!!!

What a nice guy......thank for the video Kiko and thank you Dirk for your words !!!

Um dos meus bateristas favoritos Conheci ele no Devin Townsend Project Adoro demais o trabalho dele

Que cara gente fina! Ser humano incrível.

Um cara que tem um "blast beat" com o próprio nome e que uma galera no mundo todo copia,tem que se respeitado!!Congrats Dirk

Dirk é um monstro, tecnicamente falando essa é a melhor formação do megadeth. Só ver o trabalho dele no soilwork e no devin

I had the same crossroads about attitude in my 20s. As a mental exercise, I thought about my own 'fun'eral. What would they say about me ? Etc and that got me thinking about being a positive person rather than a low, fun killer. I also used a mental exercise that theres usually a positive to every negative. Great hearing about you experiences Dirk !

I love your videos. They honestly make the Megadeth camp seem lke one of the very happiest places to be

Não fazia ideia que o rapaz era gente boa assim, muito legal ele falando que toda a situação que ele passou com a mãe dele fez ele ter uma postura mais "positiva" em todos os momentos da vida, super bacana!

No wonder why the vibe around the band and live performance is amazing. I met you guys in Austin for the release of your album. Dirk and James were very cool. Dave was Dave and I dig that. Kiko you were a little quiet but considering it was pass midnight and coming right off the show, you probably were tired. Excellent video. I will save it and use it to remind myself that is up to me to feel good every day.

Great stuff guys, so glad that you take a little time allowing us to get to know you a little better. Best wishes to "MegaDave" and I can´t wait to see you guys out on tour in the near future.

Dave really got too of the best dudes ever to play in his band. Kiko and Dirk are world class.

I really needed cheering up! Thanks Dirk and Kiko!!

It's not the tough situation, is how fast you adapt to the change and how to manage it and handle it.

I had no idea that you had your own channel on KZread. I just found it a few days ago and I am hooked. I love the videos that I have seen so far. I love that your channel covers more than just music like this video. I am 40 years old and I remember back in my late teens all the way to my late 20's that I could get angry very easily. One day I prayed and I was very sincere in my prayer for the Lord to get all the anger out of me because if I kept it up I would die at a very young age. One day out of nowhere I felt very relaxed and peaceful inside. I just did not get angry like I did before. I am extremely thankful that the extreme anger is gone. I still can get mad when certain situations happen but I handle them way different than I did before. Being angry often is very tiring also and it is not worth it. Thanks again for another great video. It is going to take me a some time to go through all your videos but I already know that they are going to be awesome. Kiko as usual you are the MAN!!!!!

What a lovely person ♥️

Eu conheci o Dirk quando ele tocava para o Soilwork. O cara mais simpático que conheci. Humildade em pessoa.

Eu te amo Kiko Loureiro

Damn! This was a great interview! Thank you Kiko! 🤘 Thank you Dirk! 🤘

Thanks for this video!!! :) Totally down to earth, stand up kind of guys!!! All the best

KIKO, Life long mega fan, really enjoying your role in the band, SOOOOO cool 😎 LOVE the positive vibes and the videos are awesome, THANK YOU 🙏

Kiko, what you are doing is really great, you are making the megadeth crew connect better with each other. Thank you Megadeth 8s my favourite band

I think this is the best Megadeth have ever been not just the music but the whole band thing . Love this band , through all the changes they are still at the top of there game.

It would be very nice to have Dave talk about his view on life as well, keeping with these 2 interviews. It's been great and very helpful to see all of that. Dave has been and is being through a lot, he must've learned a lot

@DirkVerbeurenDrummer and your words of wisdom are truly appreciated

Dirk is a humble man. Jesus bless your way.

Hi Dirk and Kiko, I just want to say thank you for this. I feel I learned a great lesson after watching this video. I learned from Dirk’s philosophy that we can’t control everything and everyone but we can control how we react and our reaction is what will define who we are. Again, thank you 🙏🏼

Love you both so much!!!! 😭❤

Caramba. Que homem 👏👏👏👏 Virei mais fã ainda do Dirk.

Two absolute Masters of their chosen Arts.... it is so refreshing to know that they are always expanding and expressing their musical feel and groove into so many different styles of music and with such a wide variety of musicians ... truly inspirational guys.... Cheers

Seeing him smiling and happy makes me just wanna hear him talking and whatnot. Im not expecting inspirational words coming out from Dirk lol but i must say thank you to you two for this video. Lots of great advice from life experience by you for a person like me that is currently struggling with life.

Great interview! I'm a Dirk's fan since he joined Soilwork. He's a monster! Good to know this way of facing the things in life.

O Dirk é um cara muito foda!! Excelente baterista e músico, e como pessoa também. Que cara mais positivo e do bem!!

Great filosofy of life. Takes lot of maturity to reach this. I was already his fan, I was at 2017 Sao Paulo's Brazil concert and he was AMAZING, an energy that I haven't seen live yet.

This is great!!!!❤️ I love Dirk’s attitude towards life! It’s very inspiring.

This is the best conversation for musicians ❤️

Great guy Dirk...somehow I did not think he was. Good that i had chance to change mymind

I feel the same, when get stressfull I use to listen the heaviest songs I know and it relax me.

You both are great guys! I'd like to see dirk playing guitar.
