MEGADETH - New Interview With Guitarist Chris Broderick Available
March 29, 2010, 14 years ago
MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick recently spoke with Zena Hawley at Derbyshire.co.uk. An excerpt from the story is available below:
In the band's 25 active years, Megadeth have had 20 official members, with Chris being one of the latest recruits.
"I was unfamiliar with Download some years ago but now everyone seems to be talking about it," said Chris. "With headliners such as AC/DC and Aerosmith we are in good company and I can easily believe we will be playing to around 100,000 people. We have another North American tour starting in Canada later in the year and before that some more European dates on the Endgame tour."These include Italy, Holland, Belgium, Denmark and Switzerland, as well two dates in Moscow in July.
Chris said: "I think playing Russia will be really interesting. Maybe the Russians aren't as exposed to live music as much as people in the West so I expect them to be even more enthusiastic. It's going to be one exciting year for all of us. There are stand-out concerts all over but we are all really up for the Download event which comes in the middle of it all."

As previously reported, Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine was recently interviewed by Jose Mangin, program director for Sirius XM. During the discussion Mustaine spoke about a recently recorded Megadeth song which will be used in an as-yet-undisclosed project later this year:
"That was a top-secret track that we haven't been able to announce where it's getting directed to. It's a song called 'Sudden Death', and appropriately so. And it's a pretty long song — it's not our usual three-to-four-minute length; it's more along the lines of... I think it's about five minutes long."Check out part of the interview below.
