Dave Ellefson back in Megadeth!

[sevser]

Hmmmm...???:think:

Lets see...:idea:

Chris Broderick: Joined a highly influential band, with numerous highly regarded guitar players...Learned every stinkin' solo, (practically over night) note-for-note, with exceptional attention given to each guitarists own subtle nuances…Covering music over a span of 3 decades...aaaaand...

WHO FUCKING CARES IF HE DOESEN'T PLAY IT WITH THE SAME PASSION (and passion being totaly subjective...caps back oN) AS THE COMPOSER...!!!

I say…

GOOD JOB CHRIS!!!

ALL HAIL CB!


Actually...I don't realy care much... Just gotta get into it once in a while...

We are getting ready to interview Dave Ellefson & Dave Mustaine for www.decadesofdistortion.com

I am looking forward to it since we got Joe Perry to drop the bomb about Steven Tyler during our interview for the radio show & website

Check this, Chris sounds more like Marty than Marty does http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ-znZwFLIY

Thanks for posting this, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Marty has 4 times heavier touch, he really digs in, at the end of the phrases he raises the dynamics, his bends and vibrato are a lot wider and more aggressive which creates intensity, he also let's them ring more, he holds bends longer before releasing them. Chris plays the whole solo with pretty much the same clinical feel. It's all about the nuances and how you play rather than what you play if we talk about attitude.

I appreciate them both for what they each have to offer. Marty wrote that solo, no one is going to emote it better than he does. I think Chris knows that and is going for a clean and respectful rendition. Plus he is probably using half his attention to keeping an eye on Mustaine and making sure he is happy.

Look, Chris is an exceptional guitarist who until now was nevertheless best known for being SECOND fiddle in Nevermore. Megadeth is a great career move to raise his profile, but he IS a hired gun in MUSTAINE's band. Why should he get all verklempt about it?

He is proving that he deserves the spotlight just as Loomis does, and breaking out of the support role of being second guitarist to a monster like Loomis. I bet he knows exactly how Bruce Bouillet felt in Racer X.

I would never assume that because he doesn't let loose with feel in Megadeth, that he doesn't play with feeling. He is being Employee of the Year right now in Megadeth, doing the job he was hired for the way the boss wants it done. To assume those are his limitations is not wise IMO.

I'll take Chris' "lack of personality" if it means I don't have to hear somebody butcher Marty's leads live anymore.

I love Marty, don't get me wrong, but he's happier doing his own thing in Japan. Creativity like his doesn't often intersect with somebody who can also play technically, so I really feel like it's holding Chris up to an impossible standard.

They both sound slow placed and uninspiring. I don't get all the hoopla over this particular piece anyway. The best thing on RIP that MF performed were the lead fills during the first verse of 5 Magics.

He can be the employee of the century for what I care but as a music listener I was seriously disappointed how ball-less his own solos were on the new Megadeth album. I was hoping something a lot better, he didn't have such a castrated feel while playing in Nevermore. I'm not the biggest metal fan but having aggression of the Jonas Brothers sounds lame to me.

Jonas Brothers? :ROTF: Unless the Jonas Bros have been woodshedding I'm gonna have to say that's an exaggeration.

You're a youngster, Endo, and of course everybody has the right to their own opinions about music. But Chris, though he was second guitarist in Nevermore, was still more of an equal in that band than he is in Megadeth.

Chances are he DId play what Mustaine wantd, more or less, and he joined Megadeth for a reason. He's been around a long time himself, but is still not that well-known outside of musicians' circles. He's getting a higher profile from being in Megadeth and that's why he's there. KLeeping the job means keeping Mustaine happy. It's much of a 'job' job as giving guitar lessons out of the local GC.

I just don't have a problem with him doing what he's doing to finally make the name for himself that his chops deserve. Just my opinion, but I'm not looking to be offended if he doesn't do with his career what I think he should. It's his life, we are just the peanut gallery watching and commenting. And I'd rather hear what he's doing in a metal band than the Jap-pop Marty's been doing, but again, it's Marty's career, and he apparently digs Japanese customs and chicks, so kudos to him for doing what he wants.

[Endrik]

I don't get why Dave would want pussified leads on his metal album? All the previous players didn't sound like they were using a pick made of butter.

Hahahahahhahahahhha!!!!

[NextInLine]

Lomenzo was better but Jr. is a part of Megadeth

[ibanezjacksonline6engl]

I'm personally looking forward to seeing Broderwick as well as Ellefson. From what I've heard on Endgame Broderwick is on his game for sure!

Seems that your damned if you do and damned if you don't in Megadeth. If Broderick had dared to get a little creative and express himself on any of Marty's solos, the fans would have been screaming just as hard that he couldn't do it like Marty, or that how dare he shit all over Marty's memory by defiling his classic solos. If you can't play it EXACTLY like the record, you don't deserve to play it.

But apparently playing it note perfect doesn't cut it either.

[VitaminG]

It's cool jr is back. Looking at the picture Dave & jr look like they belong, the other guys seem out of place or like fans who got to take a picture with the band. not saying anything bad about the guys, I know Chris can out play me while he is sleeping, but when you think about the tenure jr, Marty, Menza, & Dave had together, it just seems weird seeing someone else in that spot. Similar to when the guy took over for Halford in Priest. The guy sounded killer, but it just looked wierd not seeing Rob. Same thing with Maiden when Bruce was gone. It just didn't seem right.

you're absolutely right. A lot of people felt the same way when that frizzy haired guy from Cacophony started turning up in pics when he replaced that long haired guy who replaced Chris Poland in Megadeth
