Headbanger’s Blog » Podcast Preview: Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Talks Lineup Shift, Gigantour, Reveals SOTU Taking Year Off

Quote:

Headbangers Ball Blog: Did you consider any other players besides Chris Broderick?

Mustaine: He was the guy that had been recommended. Sean Drover and I were joking around because we said this is the quickest replacement turnaround in the hiring of a musician in Megadeth history because there was less than 24 hours from when I heard to when I actually got the new guy.

Headbangers Ball Blog: How did you know he was right for the band?

Mustaine: I went onto YouTube and I saw the clip of him doing five octave arpeggios with both hands. And I thought, “Oh, my God, that’s great.” But then I also thought, “Well, [Shrapnel Records Founder] Mike Varney has dozens of guys that can do that. They just sit in a room all day long, have no life, are acne farmers and play guitar. Couldn’t do a solo to save their life that wasn’t their own. Obviously, he’s a ripping, great, brilliant guitar player – better than me, but…” And then I clicked on the thing underneath it of him playing a classical part and I went, “Oh, my god. We hit gold.” [Also], Chris is a good guy. He’s humble, he’s very confident. He’s an aggressive player. He’s bringing new vibrancy and life to these songs and I’m really glad that this whole thing happened.

Headbangers Ball Blog: You mentioned Chris reminds you of Marty Friedman, but what do you think he’s going to actually add to the Megadeth picture?

Mustaine: It reminds me a lot of when Ozzy found Randy Rhoads.

Headbangers Ball Blog: That’s a pretty big statement.

Mustaine: Yeah, I’m pretty excited right now. I mean, I don’t know if he’s going to influence the next record or if he’s going to do a few shows and quit. But I look at it like this right now: We’ve had some really, really tight, tight rehearsals here at the house. And it was just fantastic.

Even Mustaine admits Broderick is the better guitarist

Anyone who claimed they were better would be blatantly lying. Mustaine always picks lead guitarists who he considers better than himself at lead and this time he found a dude who is infinitely better than him.

When's the first show with Broderick again? Isn't it coming up in the next few days? I imagine youtube will be flooded with videos.

Damn. That's huge, considering Dave doesn't give credit to anybody, ever.
