Im sorry if this has been talked about but i searched and couldnt find anything. Chris broderick joined Megadeth

I'm really looking forward to see what they're going to do together. What do you think?

Chris is ok I guess, but in my opinion Marty Friedman was the best fit and the best guitarist for Megadeth. I don't feel like any other Megadeth guitarist's work hits me the way Friedman's does. Absolutely amazing player.

I would have to agree with the above statement. On a side note, does anybody know why exactly Glen Drover left while his brother stayed?

I'm a big fan of Chris Poland and Marty Friedman. I'm interested to see how this new guitarist will change things. On that note I really enjoyed the newest album.

i think Chris is a little too technical for megadeth.

He is a really cool guy

He teaches me at MI and he knows his **** and can play like a monster

He also plays with Jag Panzer and Nevermore

or check out some videos on youtube

He has the two hand technique down too

Al Pitrelli was the best guitarist on the worst Megadeth album...Al is a monster player. That said Marty is the Megadeth player

For me there is no one else but Marty to achieve "the Megadeth sound"

Obviously Marty Friedman was the best, but like Cliff to Metallica, thats just going to happen ever again. Marty is far to happy in Japan.

Well ya know, if someone asked you a year or two ago if Led Zep was gonna reunite...the point is, never say never haha. Although an even bigger surprise would be for metallica to put out an album that doesnt suck.

Now Marty Friedman will never be topped, but judging Chris' other stuff, I'm pretty excited, I got some 'deth tickets in the mindset I'd see Glen Drover as the guitarist and it'd be pretty damn awesome, and now I'm incredibly excited to see some of Chris' playing live, it's only in a few weeks too, this year'll be awesome. Late Feb the deth, May, Satch and Gilbert

That sucks! I was getting to like Glen Dover! "United Abominations" was killer too! Best Deth album since Youthanasia IMO and second only to RIP.
I'll have to listen to the new guy when I get home.
Also, IMO Mustane himself is a big part of their sound.

Im very excited to hear the Chris plus Dave combination. I think we are in for a pleasant suprise if everything works out long enough to get back to a studio album.

eviltwin · #14 02-06-2008, 04:25 PM

would be cool if Dave also started to play seven strings

jb4674 · #15 02-06-2008, 04:28 PM

I have to agree with the rest of the folks in here and say that the Dave/Marty combo was definitely what made Megadeth the band that it is. With that being said, I think that I would like to see a reunion of my fav. 4 'deth heads: Ellefson, Friedman, Menza and Mustaine.
