January 10, 2015, 9 years ago
Former Megadeth / King Diamond guitarist Glen Drover will be conducting a free, live online guitar clinic today (Saturday, January 10th) at 1:00pm EST. Simply visit numubu at show time to partake.
Drover has issued the following update:
"I'll be live doing my weekly numubu.com this Saturday at 1:00pm EST. Will be doing this event every Saturday for 1 hour plus. Playing a different set every week, as well as answering all questions about music, recording, etc. Will of course be talking about all my gear as well. Also, I will have a very special surprise this week, so don't miss it!"
Fan-filmed video of Drover and his brother Shawn (drums) performing with former Judas Priest frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens during the Masters Of Metal Christmas show in Holyoke, MA can be viewed below. The show took place on December 12th, 2014 at the Paper City Music Shop:
The Drover brothers both joined Megadeth in 2004. In 2008 Glen quit the band; Shawn recently left the band along with guitarist Chris Broderick, who was Glen's replacement. Glen has since taken to Facebook with the following statement:
"I'm very sorry, but to those who want to see me back in Megadeth, that will never happen. Other cool things coming up. Again, sorry, but there is NO chance I would ever do that. Now saying all of that, thanks a ton for all of your awesome support and it was fun while I was there playing all those cool shows and meeting a lot of you!"Going back to the beginning, the Drover brothers formed Eidolon in 1993. Originally issued in 1996, the very first Eidolon CD, Zero Hour, was re-released in October; strictly limited to 400 copies. This version contains the very first Genocide Recordings version with all original packaging, minus the CD, which is a new pressing.
There are different bundles available, such as versions that both Glen and Shawn have signed, as well as original Eidolon Jim Dunlop picks that were made for Glen back in 1996. This album has been out of print for many years... now it's back and available via CDN Records.
