Megadeth - The Killing Road || Archetype Petrucci by Neural DSP
10I've had this one in the repertoire for awhile, but I figured with the 30th anniversary of Youthanasia coming up later this year that it would be nice to have something to commemorate it.
It's actually a pretty simple song if you're only looking at playing the rhythm guitars; there's literally three riffs and a very brief and slight variation on one of them that leads into the solo section, lol. I guess that's a testament to how much mileage you can squeeze out of a good riff, even if I think the final chorus section drags out a bit longer than I would personally have chosen if I were in the studio recording the original.
Last thing to mention, I scooped up the Tone Mission IR pack when it was on sale over the holidays, so the tone is even more evolved than before. I will probably not have the room mics enabled when doing a recording like this again, but I don't even know that anyone is really going to notice it and I'm probably (definitely) overthinking it, lmao.
Hope you enjoy!
