        after reading mustaine's memoirs it is surprising that he managed that long in a band full of addicts who often seemed to hate each other couple that with mustaine's need for total control of the band and you can see why he had had enough

          Yes. I read it somewhere, straight from Marty - probably his own website. He wanted Megadeth to play more extreme stuff and wasnt happy with where they were going.
          BTW, if you think he never wrote much in Megadeth you need to listen more to his solo albums, I think it's pretty obvious Marty had a BIG hand in the writing when he was in that band just from listening to his solo stuff.

          I don't understand why people think all he does now is Japanese pop music - this is from the 2009 solo album and I'd say it's more "extreme" - certainly it's less "commercial" than anything Megadeth have done. He's still fucking GOT IT - makes me laugh to hear Dave Mustaine go on about how Chris Broderick is the guy he wanted since he started Megadeth. Broderick couldn't play like this - it'd be all sweep picking bleeping and blooping fucking nonsense.

                I just can't make myself dislike Marty. How can you dislike somebody who's true to themselves and what they want to do? Marty could have played it safe and stayed in Megadeth, but he didn't want to. As for the reasons he left, I've heard and read many conflicting things. Mustaine changes his story now and then, and I do remember him saying something to the effect that he and the producers were responsible for the pop direction on the later albums and that Marty didn't want to play it safe. As for Broderick, he's absolutely an awesome player. I've seen him live twice now. His impact on Megadeth's music remains to be seen, though.

                  I've only heard one song where it sounded (to me) like Chris Broderick putting his stamp on Megadeth and that was "How The Story Ends." Most everything else on Endgame he sounded like a cleaner version of Mustaine. Was hard to tell in some spots where Mustaine stopped and Broderick began.

                    The link you posted is for Marty's cover of a Maximum the Hormone tune:

                    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


                    They are pretty big in Japan, and would qualify if not as "J-Pop", then at least as "Popular Japanese Music" in my book, in that they get lots of airplay, are on TV, and have lots of exposure.

                    I think that when people hear the term J-Pop, they think of songs like this (which Marty also covered):

                    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


                    However, J-Pop is not limited to groups of girls in wacky outfits singing over synthetic rhythms.

                      Bah Atsushi...I lasted 1:20 on that last vid

                      The girls are nice to look at, but I couldn't take that, aaarrgghhh - maybe if somebody replaces the song with some metal hahaha, yes, a J-pop / metal mashup!

                          Yeah, Broderick said in an interview that the album was basically done before he joined, except for the solos, so I think it's safe to assume that he had little or no influence on the compositions as such. Whether he'll get a say in matters down the road is difficult to say.

                            No, he really didn't. Don't point to Cacopheny either because he had Jason Becker there to collaborate with, and he was the better writer of the 2. He may have taken some of the Mega sound with him after leaving for when he needed to on the solo disks, but he didn't contribute to much at all until Cryptic and Risk and that was mostly just flavor with the other stringed instruments he played. Rust was writen before Marty joined (just like Endgame was for Chris B.) and all Marty did was add the solos AFTER hearing what Poland had already done for some of it.

                            Again, I like Marty's solos....he's just not a great writer.

                            I respectfully disagree. There is a huge noticable difference between the 2 styles..... 44 Minutes solo is f'n spectacular as are a few others, and what he added to The Hardest part.....is great!

                              On some songs I would agree, there's a distinct difference. On other songs, Broderick simply sounds a little too much like Dave shredding. He even said himself in interviews that he went into the Endgame sessions with the approach of emulating the Megadeth sound. Which explains a lot. The opening track is a prime example of this. There are some sections where you can tell who is who fairly easily, and there are other sections where it's a blur. Sure, I could pay closer attention and pick them out if I wanted to but it's music not a test. It gets a little fatiguing to the ear as a listener when there isn't a whole lot of contrast between each solo sandwiched together.

                              As for 44 Minutes, I would have to hear it again. It's been a while since I have listened to the record and the only solo I can actually recall and hum in my head is Broderick's in HTSE. The rest, like most of the songs on the record, are pretty forgettable.

                                It's incredibly easy to tell which is Dave and which is Chris, Dave has a heavy attack while Chris sounds like he is using a pick made out of butter on the last Megadeth album.
