Behind the Mix: Megadeth Peace Sells:

[js]

Gar Samuelson is in my opinion the most underrated metal drummer of all time. He was the first guy to incorporate heavy jazz influences into thrash, and he was a fundamentally better drummer than any of the other "big 4" thrash bands. Very odd that most people have no idea who he is.

[chrisgarcia]

The 80'S thrash musicians will never be duplicated.

[DNA]

Gar was just a monster on drums. An absolute genius. Knew when to sound flashy and when to stay in the pocket.

[dbmdrums]

Gar Samuelson . The underated drummer of all time.

[RedFlyRuledByTheRiff]

I'll never understand people who think David is just an okay player. I guess I'm gonna go with ignorance.

[MlSHKlN]

playing the bass like its a damn banjo

[eamonahern]

One of Ellefson's best performances on bass

[BloodyBones]

This is some next level rhythm section The best Megadeth lineup in my opinion. Gar never gets any mention. He should be recognized as top 5 metal drummers of all time. Fuck top 5 drummers ever.

[thegamingfish]

shows how well Gar and David worked together

[JBBRAD]

The stars aligned for this song. Every instrument is perfect in this song. But David and Gar shined a tad brighter

[TheVulgarPeasant]

Junior is my favorite metal bassist hands down. His tone is so good and his basslines aren’t swallowed up by the guitars. Gar was a hell of a drummer!

[henrytate]

Songs like this and Good Mourning/Black Friday assure me that Gar Samuelson is one of the very best metal drummers of all time.

[ocpofficialrep]

everyone that dave mustaine and dave ellefson surrounded themselves with were abosolutey masters of their craft. ]v[EGADET]-[ is KING

[patricklongerbeam]

[Mr-Foad]

impressive double bass for 1986... gar was amazing, and davids bass work is some of the best in metal too. laser precision !

[clowncoon]

When I listen to My Last Words, all I hear is the bass! The best of the world

[shawnbruce]

What a Fantastic F ing Drummer! I met Him once and I never forgot it. He just blew the audience away. It was a Real Experience that I thank Gar for.

[BarzOnTheWindow]

Shame Gar’s drumming gets lost in the low budget production on the album. Fantastic we can hear it shine here.

[neverenough]

That bass sounds freaking amazing. Heard this song a thousand times and never heard the bass like this.
