Megadeth Guitarist Talks About Completed Record

Megadeth’s upcoming twelfth studio album wrapped up last week and is currently slated for a September release date. This album will be the first to feature new guitarist Chris Broderick, who took the time to post his feelings about the album on the band’s website.

He writes, I can't believe the way the whole thing came together. It has a unique and original sound that I don't think could have come together with any other group of people. From Dave [Mustaine’s] snarling vocals, to James [Lomenzo’s] huge bass sound and Shawn [Drover’s] dead accurate drumming, it is just relentless, and with Andy [Sneap] producing, it focused the sound and direction of the CD."

He adds, "I feel lucky to be a part of it. For one thing it definitely did was make me expand and play in different styles. I can't wait for the release and I hope all of you find something in it you like."

Broderick also writes about a chance meeting between him and Grammy-award winning guitarist Scott Tennant. He writes, "Now that I have had a minute to breath after finishing the CD, I wanted to tell you guys about the opportunity I had to meet one of my favorite guitarists, Grammy award winner Scott Tennant. If you like classical guitar you should give this guy a listen either solo or with the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet which he performs with regularly. My sneaky girlfriend told me she wanted to take me out to dinner but wouldn’t tell me where so I went along with it just thinking she was going to take me to a special restaurant."

He goes on, "Well when we got there we walked up to the front door and she stopped and said to what I thought at the time was a complete stranger “Your already here” and at that moment I was thinking what is going on because I didn’t recognize him. She then introduced me to Scott and I was taken back and could think of nothing to say Ahahaha. Through the course of dinner though, we started to talk guitar, and now I think we are going to get together and Jam… Should be fun!"

Megadeth’s latest album was produced by previous collaborator Andy Sneap.

[we_built_a_tree]

Nevertheless, it was the best, imo.

[JuiceMogly]

Can't wait.

[Sleazeball]

Chris is awesome, but so modest too. I'm sure this album will deliver on all fronts.

[ILuvPillows?]

Anyone else think that the picture of Boderick just screams AWESOME...NESS!!?

[multipleofone]

If chris had a lot of input in the writing process then this album will be awesome.
Otherwise, this album will be meh.

Awesome? We'll see, but probably yes (Dave Mustaine after all). Why did they kick Marty out?

[98Timberwolf]

He sounds very confident in the new album. Hope it's as good as he makes it sound!

They didn't kick Marty out, he left because he was tired of playing metal, and wanted to expand his horizons. I'm surprized he lasted so long with a guy like Mustaine.

Marty quit because he no longer wanted to play American heavy metal, so he moved to Japan and plays pop. Which contains distorted guitar.

Can't wait for this album! It will destroy Death Magnetic. Proving Megadeth is the better band!

[beelaal85]

I want catchy guitar solos in their new record! Like 'DragonForce' ones... Nevermore is a Power Metal band, so Chris must use that kind system...

[beelaal85]

correction ...kind: 'of'...

[Lion_Slicer]

I think that if it takes you 20 years to prove to yourself that a band you like is better than one you don't, it's a pretty hollow victory. I don't see why you can't just appreciate both bands for what they are--unbelievably awesome bands that redefined metal forever.

I saw Megadeth live last year. Went into it thinking "yeah they were probably kickass 20 years ago, it'll still be neat to see one of the old legends." WRONG!!! They blew me away in every regard, they sound as if they have lost none of the intesity that they were originally made of. Absolutely amazing show, Broderick is phenomenal.

Good year for metal!

Well, he did use a seven string in Nevermore and Jag Panzer, and he has a custom shop Ibanez 7-string, also:

Well, he would use a 7-string because 7 > 6

sorry i don't agree. Megadeth solo's are way better in my opinion. i don't like dragonforce pretty much... + megadeth as his style and i dont think changing it at this moment would be a good idea

[ShestShestShest]

lol "catchy guitar solos like dragonforce"
hahahahahaha.

I agree. Dave really hogs the composing and in my opinion he isn't the best composer in the band. When I listen to my fave megadeth tunes and look at who wrote the song it usually is either Dave + another band memember or just a different member entirely. BTW nothing against Dave just sayin'.....

[GrungeJunkie]

He started going into industrial and techno stuff. He made his millions, and moved on.

I will be the first one at my local music shop to get this album.

I sincerely hope that this album is kick ass.

He goes on, "Well when we got there we walked up to the front door and she stopped and said to what I thought at the time was a complete stranger “Your already here” and at that moment I was thinking what is going on because I didn’t recognize him.

You're, not your. Imo, UG articles should be spell-checked before submitted.
Anyways, seems like this'll be a sweet album.

[zakkwyldefan79]

To the guys talking about how many strings Chris' guitar has he was using his 7 string in '08 but most of the live videos on youtube from '09 show him playing a 6 string. So he's been using both 6 & 7 string guitars since he joined Megadeth.

[josbroek]

WOOOT!!!

[Lackesse]

Dying every day of waiting...

[satanblaster]

6 or 7 strings, who the heck cares if its Broderick who plays it! Im sure he'll get close to Friedman era with the solos. Man the album is gonna be eargasm from the intro to the last outro

We 7 string-ers care, because there will be more people using 7-strings if Chris Broderick becomes a big influence on other people, but he switched to 6s recently...

[lbra73]

Why is the release date 4 months away if the album is completely finished? I hate when they do that. Just put it on itunes or megadeth.com and let us download it now!

[Dante53]

I used to be a huge fan of Megadeth, and this album really excites me! I can't wait to hear it!

Both Dave and his son have said that Chris is much better than Marty. They said this a while back in noe of Dave's updates on the site. Chris will surpass Marty's solos, if all goes well. And Dave made them for the most part, so it's not really Marty's solos.

Having a kid and getting a desk job is a pretty good way to put an end to any dreams of touring.

I can still play most of the stuff I want to learn when I actually get time so thats good enough for me.

They're prog-ish, but the singer does have a bit of a power-metalish voice. I don't here Loomis play much in the power metal style though.

Actually The Original Line Up Didnt Have Ellefson. On The Rusted Pieces DVD(Or Video, Whatever You Have) Dave States That "There Was A Bassist Before Ellefson But We Dont Talk About Him".

[andguitarforall]

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!

[Zangetsu 101]

It seem's the Marty fans in this thread have only heard his work with Megadeth. You'll do yourself a favor by listening to Cacophony, his old speed metal band with Jason Becker. Check the tracks "Speed Metal Symphony" and "Concerto".

Anyhoo, really looking forward to this album. Dave said all song material was written before Chris joined and so the only work Chris has on this album is his solo's. Sucks

Marty's solo stuff is pretty good to.

Anyways, sounds like a pretty cool album, should be good with Chris in it. Kinda sucks that he wrote everything except his solos, cause now the only influence of Chris you'll hear are his solos.

[wyldeshredder]

talk about a refreshing personality. i think dave is a great musician, but he always drums himself up a little too much for me. broderick mentioned all the members contributions, excluding himself. dave, would have been another story. so, kudos chris. will def buy this record,

[jimishred]

i too am looking forward to the new album should be good. My personal stance on DM is it was ok sounded like radio metal.

When it comes to Megadeth solos there has allways been Mustaine doing hes thing and other guitarist doing hes. You gotta be kidding me that Dave would write a solo for Friedman to play. Compare the technique of Mustaine and Friedman! Like in Lucretia where Marty plays the first solo part and Dave plays the another. Martys solo includes more sweeps, wierd scales and intresting phrasing as Daves solo is pretty much pentatonic shred. Not saying that Mustaine couldnt come up with great solos.

And Broderick is ridiculously good player, just wanna know if he can come up with a solo comparing to Tornado of Souls or Skin O' my Teeth. I really hope he can, since im running out of cool Megadeth solos to learn :P

[mrrman]

Ill be seeing them June 24 in Vancouver BC Canada, cant wait and I am in row 9 in front of the stage

I want catchy guitar solos in their new record! Like 'DragonForce' ones... Nevermore is a Power Metal band, so Chris must use that kind system...

... dragonforce??? nevermore powermetal?

Awesome? We'll see, but probably yes (Dave Mustaine after all). Why did they kick Marty out?
Marty quit because he no longer wanted to play American heavy metal, so he moved to Japan and plays pop. Which contains distorted guitar.

Can't wait for this album! It will destroy Death Magnetic. Proving Megadeth is the better band!

I just waited for someone to bring up Metallica here...
it was only a matter of time I guess...

it was bound to happen. the start of megadeth was the birth of metallica haters, but honestly can u blame us haters? i think it will pown death magnetic too.

no one is going to listen to metallica after this comes out, lol... XD

This is a download, I'm not risking my money on Dave Mustaine until I hear this for free. I'm not expecting much good though.

And as said above, if it took 20 years for you to be able to prove to yourself that one band is better then another, it's a pretty sad victory.

I guess this Megadeth album will own Metallica once again. Megadeth er so much better than Metallica.
Dave Mustaine can be happy he was fired in Metallica and started Megadeth. Only bad thing is that everyone knows Metallica and not Megadeth. Every single Megadeth album have been better than Metallica's since Cliff Burton died.

wow megadeth are legends and if the new ones anything like UA then ill buy 10 copiesshame it isnt the original lilneup though.(Dave,Nick,Marty,Dave E.)

all wrong man. the original lineup was Dave, Poland, Ellefson, Gar
Original line-up was actually Mustaine, Ellefson, Handevidt and Carruthers.

actually Ellefson wasn't Megadeth's first bassist, there was a guy before him (who formed Megadeth with Mustaine).

your wrong, watch megadeths documentary, ellefson is their first bass player

just what kinda ****ing weed are ya on bro? T_T
the closest you can come to in terms of putting nevermore in a genre is Prog metal. power metal = firewind, dragonfArce etc.

[masterofsummat]

and with regards to dragonfArce-ish solos... WTF man O_O seriously, no. a)they wouldn't fit in with dave's kick-ass riffage b)dragonforce solo = bleepbleepbloopbleep sqweuwueuweuweuwueww wahwah. yuck.

lmao power metal. no. T_T
