MEGADETH Guitarist Chris Broderick - "Poster Child For Stupidity"
January 19, 2010, 14 years ago
MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick has checked in with the following update:
"Hey Everyone,How many times have you been told safety first? I always felt like I was being nagged, but now I am the one advocating safety. Last night I was breaking down boxes to put in the recycling bin, and the unthinkable happened. I cut my thumb on my right hand with a box cutter (razor blade). Instantly I knew I needed to get to the emergency room to make sure I hadn't cut my career along with my thumb. Luckily I didn't cut any tendons and will only have to lay off the guitar for a couple weeks. If you are squeamish at all don't look at the pictures (found here).
I feel very lucky that I could take this picture (all is well that ends well), hopefully you guys will take notes from my mistakes.
P.S.: I'm bummed I didn't get to play with my brothers at the NAMM jam. I was told no one in Megadeth was playing and decided not to go to that party. Needless to say I missed out on a great time."
Take care,
Chris
As mentioned, Megadeth members Dave Mustaine (guitar, vocals), James Lomenzo (bass) and Shawn Drover (drums) performed 'Symphony Of Destruction' this past Friday (January 15th) at the Grove of Anaheim in Anaheim, CA as part of the NAMM Jam. Video footage of the performance can be seen below.
