Seen Mustaine reporting recently from the Priest Feast Tour :
"Anyway, as y'all know, Chris Broderick turned 39 yesterday, and I am so proud of this guy. I mean, I watch him play on stage and everyday he gets better and better. We are aware of the reviews, and we still are trying to have a perfect show, so if you think that you have seen a good one, just wait until he starts to feel 100% and then after that, once I start to feel we are at 100%. I am going on record and I am saying unequivocally that Chris is THE BEST GUITARIST Megadeth has ever had."Dave Mustaine, March 7, 2009 at www.megadeth.com
And knowing about the ability of the man to pay compliments to someone, this is quite a very rare event !
Worth mentioning it ! :mrgreen:
Already heard back from this on the topic called "Broderick" : :)
when i saw them with broderick i must say he is an outstanding player possibly better technically and when it comes to speed but when it comes to feel and phrasing he has nothing on friedman
we still have to wait to see what his writing in megadeth is like though
As for me I think both Friedman and Broderick are highly talented musician who have succeded in building an awesome technical level WHILE developping their own huge musical sensivity (which is not of course the case of all the many shreeders around...)
Maybe we can say that Friedman might have little more original creativity, but nothing really demonstrative at the moment. As you said, the next Megadeth album will probably will help to build a more constructive opinion to see if Broderick can add some more... 8)
To me Chris Poland is also a great guitarist. But the one who really raised Megadeth to his master level was (and will probably remain Friedman). Therefore I prefer Friedman and Broderick over Poland (and of course over Young, Pitrelli and Drover)..
What do you guys think ?
-
Freidman by a mile IMHO
Broderick may have played Marty's solos fantastically well live (& if anything, actually made them better) but Marty was the guitarist who came up with them in the first place.
It's 19 years since Rust In Peace came out (probably before some posters here were even born :lol:) & it's easy to forget just how jaw dropping the solos on that record actually were. Perhaps if Broderick plays something truly mind blowing of his own on the next 'Deth record, I might change my opinion, but he'll have to come up with something pretty damned special....

Nice to see you there. I remember you saying on this place that Broderick gives "a little something more" to friedman leads, and I just agree with that and with what you said above.
AND let's illustrate it with the following videos ! If you want, just for fun, to see how the last megadeth guitarists dealed with the solo of Tornado, then here it is :
Chris Broderick : (precise and solid as a rock) :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jBJUUogVyU&feature=related
Marty Friedman (with the feeling « of that time » with my beloved Rhoads...): 8)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5cdMwWWV4o&feature=related
Marty Friedman (with a more clearer sound AND with Paul Gilbert !) :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wCsDnumbSo&feature=related
Al Pitrelli (Rude awakening video) - I like his feeling but is that enough ? :?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTOcRmJM4dQ&feature=related
Glen Drover (That one night video) - really dislike his playing ! :x
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsxRxFy2lPo&feature=related
Even if it was one of Friedman's solo (more easy for him to master his own work), I think Broderick is, in the live, more close to the-note-by-note-of-the-CD than Friedman imo (especially in the part starting in his performance at 0'34), and course far more closer to the original solo than the 2 others ones...)
-
I can't comment on Broderick until I hear him on record and see what he contributes to the songs. I couldn't give two hoots about his technical ability.
I think Friedman is a very, very special player who made a massive difference to Megadeth - despite Mustaine's total dominance of the band. Just listen how inadequate the albums with Drover, Young and Pitrelli are in comparison.
I like Poland too, he has a great individual style, but I don't think he contributed as much to the band (the drugs probably didn't help...).
-
Marty Friedman (with the feeling « of that time » with my beloved Rhoads...): 8)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5cdMwWWV4o&feature=related
:o :o :o I was actually at that show! (they played 2 nights at Hammersmith & I went to both of 'em, so whichever one it was, I was there :))
Going off topic somewhat, but at the time Marty had 4 Jacksons: that Rhoads Original, 22 & 24 fret Kelly, but most interestingly a japan-made Firebird prototype sig model with HSS & Floyd (never got off the ground partly because Marty never really liked the Floyd). Either he sold it or it got stolen, but it turned up at a small guitar shop in London. I had the chance to buy it for £749 and DIDN'T FV£%!^& DO IT!!!! :( :oops: :x :roll: :lol: I've always regretted that....
-
Technically - Broderick
But Friedman came up with them and has a very unique style that i love.
Saying that though Chris Poland who played on Peace Sells also has great lead playing which i love so i'm torn between Poland and Friedman.

Oh...and are you Ok, I mean, life didn't become too hard since that ? :cry: :roll:
I like Poland too, he has a great individual style, but I don't think he contributed as much to the band (the drugs probably didn't help...).
I also heard that he had stolen one of Mustaine's guitar...back in those days.. I guess this hadn't helped too to build a long career with Megadeth. :gib: :lol:

broderick is a phenomenal player. Glen Drover was pretty awesome too, he nailed the solos note for note when i saw them (as did broderick, when i could hear his solos, anyway :lol: ). But friedman is THE MAN. :)
btw, doesn't mustaine say that about every new megadeth lead guitarist? :lol:
-
Mustaine is a douche. End of that topic PDT_004
Here's an idea for you guys then, would Chris Broderick be better than the guy who defined Megadeth at it's most epic? (Rust in peace album). And yes I agree with you guys who think Broderick is technically better.
-
It dosen't matter who is better as long as Chris keeps Megadeth relevant we will all have opportunity to see and hear a monster of the wire and wood.
Dave may be a douch bag but his band is good and has put out some great tunes, and Chris is the man for the job and the guitarist who could take Megadeth to the next level.
-
i see two problems :
1 - Mustaine is a dictator
Thats why they have so many Line Ups.
2 - chris broderick is AN AWESOME guitarrist. FOR SURE. i loved his two hands and sweeps
but, for me, he do not possess the CHARISMA friedman Has or HAD.. Plus, he doesnt have the SAME Feeling.
any thought on my words?
LETS discuss this
q:)
I love megadeth, but my favorite alguns are only two : Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction(even with the cr@ppy guitar tones)
and i think the new album is Good enough. ill buy it
i LOVED The guitar tones there.
JP
-
i see two problems :
1 - Mustaine is a dictator
:lol: does anyone doubt that ? I guess you speak the thruth here...let's add I read Mustaine in an interview saying that he loved learning Megadeth songs to new guitarists, and that Chris was really "teacheable" and that "he couln't ask for more".
You can read it here http://www.megadeth.com/popups/revolver0209.html :mrgreen:
But there should be another reason.....As I said Mustaine doesn't pay compliment so often....Let's see :
when i saw them with broderick i must say he is an outstanding player possibly better technically and when it comes to speed but when it comes to feel and phrasing he has nothing on friedman
we still have to wait to see what his writing in megadeth is like though
As you said, the next Megadeth album will probably will help to build a more constructive opinion to see if Broderick can add some more... 8)

I can't comment on Broderick until I hear him on record and see what he contributes to the songs.
and Chris is the man for the job and the guitarist who could take Megadeth to the next level.
..... :idea: Didn't mustaine said that just to put some more pressure as they are finalizing their new record, cause now everybody is awaiting for a Rust-in-Peace-on-steroids, which just cannot happen...
Rust in Peace is and will remain the-state-of-the-art speed metal album..., imo.
The alchemy between unique Friedman's style and musical creativity linked to Mustaine's raw top the line rythm motions (with thousand of stunning riffs per songs) was so perfect and there is no other album to compare seriously to this monument.
Agree about the cr@oppy guitar tone though...
i see two problems :
2 - chris broderick is AN AWESOME guitarrist. FOR SURE. i loved his two hands and sweeps
but, for me, he do not possess the CHARISMA friedman Has or HAD.. Plus, he doesnt have the SAME Feeling.
This can be one of the reason why Mustaine said Chris was the best megadeth guitarist, because it might not have been the same story with Friedman...I think that Mustaine was just fed up to take lessons from Friedman :lol:
More seriously I think that the musical influence of Friedman took a too much important place in Megadeth, especially at the end, in the Risk album, which didn't suit Mustaine at all (and maybe the fans). I remember him saying he just couldn't stand hear Friedman playing anymore while recording this album.... (But we all agree Risk bad success is not 'because' of Friedman playing...)
-
Glen Drover was pretty awesome too, he nailed the solos note for note when i saw them (as did broderick, when i could hear his solos, anyway :lol: ).
Sorry for the bad video quality of Broderick, it's quite hard to find something better around. But if you have something more relevant to show us, send it to us !!
I really had a dislike with Drover playing. I really didn't like his style and musical vibe of his own solos + he was too far away from the note to note solos of Friedman !. :roll:
I think his playing on the video above is the most approximative one (with lots of shortcuts), compared to Broderick and even Pitrelli. When you look at some live videos (these ones and the ones you like best) it is quite significant, imo of course.... :P
-
I saw megadeth with drover twice and HATED his solos
he made every solo sound like he had wrote it, which would normally be good but i HATE his style of writing its just too i dont know fluid everything seems to mush together plus i hate how he ALWAYS played witht he neck pup.
I was so glad when i found out drover had left
-
i dont think broderick is any better than friedman, hes just the sort of egomaniac who feels he has to prove it with some sweeps every 10 secs. Freidman has feeling and imagination when playing and writing.. that puts him over both broderick and drover.
-

woops, sorry, i meant when i saw broderick with megadeth live. i wasn't even talking about the videos you posted :lol:
when i saw drover with them live, i think he played the solos note for note. though, if i remember correctly, i saw them with him soon after he joined, so maybe he messed with the solos later.
:)
EDIT: oh yeah, and i like megadeth in spite of mustaine, rather than because of him. :lol: love the songs mustaine writes (and marty's solos), not too fond of mustaine. :lol:

That sucks, I came across Tony Macalpines custom BC Rich ST in denmark street for about £900. Floyd rose, Dimarzios, maple top, maple neck etc and I passed on it at the time. I wish I bought it cause it sounded amazing.
as for Megadeth's best guitarist. At the moment Friedman was to me. Every solo he recorded sounds amazing and gives me goose bumps.
Give Broderick his chance. I'm sure he's got something up his sleeve for the new Deth album.

Holy.... still for sale right? PDT_023

If it's the one I'm thinking about, it was quite a few years ago.... and in the meantime Andy's has closed, been taken over by Music Ground (I think) and re-opened.

woops, sorry, i meant when i saw broderick with megadeth live. i wasn't even talking about the videos you posted :lol:
:lol: why did I thought you were talking about these videos ? Maybe because it's true the one of Broderick is real amateurish quality :lol:
i like megadeth in spite of mustaine, rather than because of him. :lol: love the songs mustaine writes (and marty's solos), not too fond of mustaine. :lol:
As for me I think Dave Mustaine is part of the very thin circle of muscians who influenced A LOT the Metal Music, especially while building the 'Speed Metal' style and giving sense to it, with some lightening fast instrumentals, explosive AND original compositions.
Lot of people say they can't bear him, for some reasons...And I have the feeling he always stays a whipping-boy, kind of 'blacksheep of the heavy metal's family'. I think this Man is clever enough to have managed his 'business' pretty well for quite 30 years now, while staying the same, with his V guitar and particular singing, despite of some difficulties, despite of some of his choices he assumed...And business is good ! :twisted:
As for his bad-temper and dominatination of the band...Isn't there some other frontmen around that are worst than that ? To me what is said around him is more funny than anything else... :lol:.... BUT..... he 'only' shouldn't have fired Friedman, BUT ALSO Menza...and Ellefson too :roll:

i don't hate mustaine or anything, just it gets a bit tiresome after a while. but you're right, it's not like he's the only one acting like that.

the solo has a real 'singing' quality, there are defined phrases broken up with bent notes then faster flourishes - lots of feeling in this one.

There is no musician on earth, imo, who can play a solo better (I mean with more feeling) than the one who wrote it, because this is not his story, it's the story of the one who built it with his own particular feeling at a particular moment. You can understand it of course and reproduce it if you are good enough (but reproducing Friedman solos, is not a chance given to tons of guitarist, at least for me) but you could never play it better (or tell the story better) cause you haven't the background of the story...
The only one thing I wanted to spot on is in a particular moment on this solo starting in the broderick performance at 0'34 while galopping up the neck, each note played is the one on the CD with the same eveness and fluidity, and I found it incredible, I have never heard that before, even when Friedman himself played it in ALL his lives performances...
Anyway still thinking they both are excellent...AND Friedman musical sense and original creativity is just unique. 8)

:lol: A new topic topic on hendrix vs Friedman, you think really a good idea ? :lol:
-
I kind of agree with that. My example would be the Comfortably Numb solos, never heard anyone nail them like Gilmour can.
Also, Al Pitrelli ftw :P
-
If it's the one I'm thinking about, it was quite a few years ago.... and in the meantime Andy's has closed, been taken over by Music Ground (I think) and re-opened.
It was a Wunjo's (orange shop front). If I remember right it was like 3 years ago maybe more.

Probably a diffefent one, then. I'm pretty sure the one I saw had a diamond pattern finish and DiMarzios - MegaDrive bridge and whatever he used in the neck position in those days (Al Di Meola?). I think he had that design about the same time as the blue/green crackle one on the back of Maximum Security.
-
I'd have to say my favourite Megadeth guitarist would have to be Marty Friedman he fit the bill so well.
Chris Poland was also fantastic and Ai Pitrelli was a great choice although short lived, that Drover guy was a joke.
Broderick is clearly the most technically advanced of the lot but Friedman I can hear him a mile away everytime he's got his own unique phrasing and voice on the instrument.. Broderick sounds like a Machine.
-
Freidman by a mile IMHO
Broderick may have played Marty's solos fantastically well live (& if anything, actually made them better) but
Nice to see you there. I remember you saying on this place that Broderick gives "a little something more" to friedman leads, and I just agree with that and with what you said above.

Al Pitrelli plays the best version here by far it's so effortless to him, in no way forced and his TIMING is amazing.
-
Yes I think Pitrelli is good. I like his feeling a lot and liked his solos in the World need a hero album (especially on dread and fugitive mind...)
His playing on the video is great and seems easy, but imo the closest to the note to note is broderick.

1992 London Hammeo? I was there. :)
EDIT: Wrong. Just checked my ticket stubs, I was at the 25th March 1991 Hammeo show (with The Almighty and Alice In Chains supporting). Great gig.
-
Antag also said he was there !
That was the best Megadeth period, I Think...
Anyway I found out an update video Of Chris Broderick, with a far best sound quality...(so let's give him another chance :lol:)
The shooting is also cool with nice close ups. The guy plays it easy too, still not with the feeling of Friedman, but I found it just stunning, look how precise and solid it is !

I love Friedman. I remember being incredibly excited when I heard he'd got the Megadeth gig, as I was already playing his Dragon's Kiss solo album to death, and I was already a Megadeth fan as well. He has a very unique melodic style that's very individual.
I also rate Broderick from seeing what he did live with Nevermore. TBH though, I'm more interested to see what he comes up with himself, rather than how well he plays someone elses solos...
-

That's what I think too, anyway, if you're asking, here is an update info by Mustaine talking about the next album :
"Great week, we're getting a lot of stuff done. I was singing on "1320" again today. Did a lot of work on the choruses and Chris has been playing his butt off. There's one particular song that he was doing an acoustic solo on, a flamenco part, and I told him "Dude, you have got to slow down!" [jokingly] he was playing so fast...".
:lol:
