First album is more guitar focused. Time 1 (and 2) is a concept album with heavy orchestration focus so thats understandable.@@mudslutmusic9052

That solo is written and also originally played by Jari Mäenpää, the founder of Wintersun. Teemu started playing it as Jari dropped guitar live to focus on singing. He used to play guitar and sing live. I think Teemu is too humble and nice guy to be in Megadeth, so in my opinion he should be a temporary guy.

Just so you know, he didn't compose this solo, it was composed by Jari Maenpaa who is the mastermind of Wintersun. Jari played this solo on their debut album but now Teemu plays it live as Jari does vocals only now.

Kiko had to go back to Finland to be with his family. I'm pretty sure his exit wasn't calculated by Dave or anything.

Teemu defo isn't out there to put anybody to shame. He's out there to pay his respects in the best possible way. I don't know him personally, but he's a pro -- and a bro a fellow needing a break from a gig can always turn to.

As good as Teemu is...I want Kiko to come back. As a lifelong fan of Megadeth (i'm 42 and have been listening to them since 89 or 90) and to me, the current lineup with Dave, Dirk, Kiko and James feels like a band. I saw them a couple of months ago and they were incredible. Absolutely incredible. Much better than when I saw them on the Rust Anniversary tour with Broderick. Broderick was great...but a little mechanical. Kiko brought the feel back all of the leads. It would be nice to have Ellefson in the band, but James is the perfect replacement. Not only is he a total pro, but he has been with them before and fits. But yeah, as good as Teemu is, I want Kiko back. When Megadeth calls it a career, I hope that this is the final line. ...If anyone was to leave, I predicted that Dirk would be the first to go. I figured that somethign a little 'busier' would temp him, due to his background. But it seems like he is really enjoying himself in the band. As you can see from my post, I realllly want this lineup to stick together. But Teemu is the perfect temp.

Yeah, and I have never understood people who are saying that if some guitarist, drummer whatever is not as good as some other, they should switch members. It's not about who is the best. Heck in some cases it's not even about being very good (like Kirk and Lars in Metallica). It's all about the chemistry and other things. And that is not to say that Kiko is not good, because he is right there with Teemu, and I can't say who is better. And it doesn't matter, because they both are probably in TOP10 or even 5. I also think that Megadeth has been perfect with Kiko, which I didn't think was possible after Marty (and Menza). They are absolutely as good now as they ever were. Teemu deserved this chance to get some recognition, but even if Kiko decides to quit, I'm not sure if Megadeth is the best possible band for Teemu. If Teemu would join Megadeth, how long will they keep going? He could miss another longer lasting opportunity while being in Megadeth, and after that he starts to get old too.

Guess what? Kiko already left permanently. ✌️

Been following Teemu for a decade more or less and it's so incredibly cool to see him get this kinda opportunity. Monster of a guitarist. I'm a diehard Wintersun fan and the crazy part here is that Jari, who's written all of the Wintersun material on his own and the Winter Madness solo right there, is arguably even crazier than Teemu

Saw him live on Sunday in AC and he was an absolute unit. I think he watched your previous vid lmao cuz it seemed like he had way more stage presence than past concerts I saw and his accuracy was insane. He would be a great addition to the lineup and I would love to see his potential on a studio album

He is a huge talent. Shred, you talk about him not being a shredder just playing scales but being more of a musician. A player that can think about what he is playing... following the chord progressions, outlining melody lines of the chords he's playing over etc... Maybe we could talk more about that? What backing chords is he playing over here? You mentioned all sorts from modulation to Major and Minor... and then even Diminished. Please explain. Thanks in advance ❤

Can recommend Wintersun absolute unit of a band.

Finland has more metal bands compared to population size than any other country on earth. Finland is literally a master shredder factory and we will start to see more Finnish shredders explode onto the scene.

Kiko was was bringing Megadeth from the inside in very nice ways and his guitar playing was not bad at all, in my opinion.

Teemu is amazing , just like a lot of Megadeth players before him , still great gig he got . Just hope he lasts longer than the rest .

Pretty friggin amazing. Thanks brother.

The last second of the video cracked me up😂. You know once Dave was asked what do u think about the new Metallica album and the solos. He simply replied “ I Demands More from My Guitarist” 😂 oh Dave. So yah Kirk won’t get the Megadeth job 😂

The next Yngwie or EVH for sure. Love his stuff. Wintersun, Megadeth, Smackbound...anything really.

Interesting that you found him. I've been after him for a couple of years after Wintersun stuff. And yes, he is really good.

Megadeth has always had virtuosos in the lead guitar slot. At some point it comes down to who writes the better solos and/or songs, and that's really subjective.

With all the press he has been getting lately filling in for Kiko , I have a feeling some large band will scoop him up

Nice that you mentioned neoclassical metal Shred👍 I think it is good to know the background a bit better, when analyzing someone`s playing style. Wintersun for example as far as i know has element`s from melodeth, power, folk, neoclassical and symphonic metal at least. One song at least reminds me more of black metal (Eternal darkness). I am not genre expert by no means, but these styles I can recognize. EDIT: I heard wrong, it was "classical training" not neoclassical. But classical mentioned😉

Megadeth is great songs with killer leads, not the other way around. Kiko stays. love Teemu and what he brings.

When you want to *win,* choose a *Finn.*

In technical terms, I assume he is below Kiko, but some solos he plays more similar to the original albuns, but Kiko put his styles on it, so it depends if you as a fan prefer it closer to the original or if you like Kiko's style, I personally don't care much, but I love Kiko's style and stage presence

Exactly why he replaces jari when wintersun play live. On that note.. this video should actually be about jari.. he wrote winter madness.. teemu is just replicating whats already written. Though still gotta be a beast to do so. Jari is my favorite guitarist just behind steve vai.

Teemu 🔥💯🤟👍

Hey SHRED ~~~ You rock , your lessons are awesome ~~ Love ya man ! I watch because you are real , also- put a Glad Garbage bag on your middle finger - it is getting everywhere!!!! Luv ya man !!! Thanandros!

Teemu kicks ass. Period!!! Consider where Teemu is from, Finland, world capitol of metal music for the last 30 plus years! And consider over the same time period, the many metal guitar legends the Finnish metal scene has produced, Teemu being just one of the more recent. I've read where Teemu was influenced from his teen years to this day by the greatest metal guitarist and frontman of the last 25 years, also from Finland! Who is that you may ask? Alexi Laiho (R.I.P), of course. Alexi being the lead guitarist, lead singer, lead composer and founder of the bands Children of Bodom and Sinergy. Children of Bodom, is the greatest melodic death metal band of the last 25 years! Period!!! Also, I've read where both Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman were very aware of Alexi Laiho and respected Alexi greatly as both a lead guitarist and frontman of Children of Bodom. Sinergy was a Finnish metal "super band" founded by Alexi Laiho and also featured one of Alexi's Finnish metal guitar hero's, Finland's legendary lead guitarist Roope Latvala from Finlands legendary, 80's / 90's metal band, Stone. Sinergy also featured Kimberly Goss (USA) lead vocals and legendary Finnish bass player / vocalist Marco Hietala. Marco, also being the frontman / bassist for legendary Finnish metal band Nightwish. Being from Finland, Teemu was likely heavily influenced by the bands Stone, Children of Bodom, Sinergy and etc... Sinergy featuring the insane twin lead guitar playing of Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala. The (3) Sinergy albums with Alexi's and Roope's twin lead guitars, solid songs and contributions from their fellow band members, resulted in metal music that absolutely stomp's on the Marty Friedman / Jason Becker twin guitars project's from the late1980's / early 90's! Sinergy was quite possibly, the best modern twin lead guitar bands in the history of metal music!!! For starters, I suggest the following from Sinergy, I Spit On Your Grave and Passage To The Fourth World. Unlike Friedman / Becker / Megadeath. Sinergy and Children of Bodom were both true band's of brothers / childhood friends, drunken brother's as we know and also from the metal music capitol of the world, Finland!!! Kalmah, is also another great metal band from Finland and are active in the studio and on tour. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6arkreOodWaps4.htmlsi=2X7L33ngrKE9q5v- Teemu is still young and Finnish SISU flows through his veins! The metal music world is going to hear a lot of insane guitar playing from Teemu both now and into the future, regardless of whether or not he's playing for Megadeath, Wintersun or some future metal band!!!

Who's the best metal guitarist ? The answer is simple ; your favourite guitarist But I already consider Teemu as one of the best.. fine, maybe the best since years ago

If you play lead guitar for Megadeth you’re no slouch. Every guitar player brought something new to the table. My personal favorites are Poland, Marty and Broderick. Again all their guitarists are amazing

I totally agree he is amazing, but I do love Marty’s guitar playing, and although Teemu is possibly technically better, Marty’s playing has real soul and feeling. It’s hard to pick a true favourite!!

About the fast alternate picking, it might be easier with the way he's holding his pick. The pick is barely sticking out, I play the same way.

Teemu is one of the cleanest dudes I've ever seen but the reality is that nobody knows how good he actually is because he's only known for playing other peoples solos (Jari and the various Megadeth guys).

He reminds me of Tony Macalpine who is also a beast.

I've kinda Heard Kurt James recommended Poland

I have been a big fan of Teemu since I discovered Wintersun. His band leader at Wintersun is also a monster player. I think Teemu shld be with a newer band and not a band of old hags without disrespect to the great music by Megadeth

All Megadeth's guitarist are fantastic players and bring their own element to the band. There is no #1

I have been a Megadeth fan since I was born… and I Must say Temmu is the best by far!

I hope this guy will have a sexy style and vibe in the next album of MegaMustaine, like Marty Friedman and Al Pitrelli

Yesss haha I think this is a more proper comparison. He is highly impressive, but like you said 'better' and 'best' are subjective.

Almost sounded like Yngwie for a few seconds.

Shred you know Jari wrote Winter Madness right?

Reminds me a bit of Jason Becker.

I think Teemu is still a part of Wintersun. As they revealed infos about Time II he also did a post about it. So I would say that Megadeth is more like his main band and Wintersun maybe more like a side project now for him.

check imperanons first album it was teemus first band in finland, they were kickass and im surprised they disbanded but when he went to wintrsun i was not surprised . finland has some of the worlds best and teemu is up there with finalnds best by far
