I just heard that Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover have recently left Megadeth. What's going to happen? Will the band end or who's going to replace them? Maybe MAB should apply for the job.  |

I want to know WHY they left? I hate to speculate but I feel like there must be major problems with DM!

Jeff will not have a problem playing Marty Friedman's Rust in Piece solos. What bothers me the most is that they didn't consider ME to join Megadeth  haha |

Loomis is deffo a good choice. No disrespect to Broderick, but, I think Jeff is the better player. Haven't really cared for any of the recent releases... but, not like they have to much of a say anyway, lol. Edit: I am seeing other rumors... that Jeff, maybe, in Arch Enemy :/ Also, allot of speculation about Marty and Nick. As much as I would LOVE to see Marty and Nick back... I just don't know. I mean that is what we all want. Marty just released a hell of an album... proving he still has more then well the chops. Nick Menza is finely looking good again... and definitely is up to the task. I was afraid we were gonna lose him there for awhile  I would love this... but, I am not holding my breathe. IDK... what to think, thou. I mean are they leaving for a reunion... which would be epic... or did Dave slip into his old ways and become hard to live with again, was the music heading no where... which, IMO, we haven't had a good album in a while even thou the caliber of players have been there. Shawn is good.. not Menza good, but, good and has been in for about 10 yrs or so... Broderick was just fine in Nevermore... and really did great with replicating Marty's solos... been a bit since someone was so close. But the albums with what should have been a good crew has fallen short, IMO.. anyway. Maybe Dave is looking for new inspiration? Maybe they were tired of being held back in their minds... but, to both leave practically at the same time... seems abit odd. Maybe they are gonna do something together... who knows, lol! So much possibility. |

What I heard is that Shawn Drover left the band first, and after a short while Broderick did the same. It looks like it was only going to be Drover to leave the band but then either Broderick sensed some instability or he felt like it was the best timing to do the same and pursue his desire to make other kind of music. Maybe he'll go back to playing classical guitar again. What seems odd to me is that Megadeth had announced they would be back in studio to make a new album this January, so something that was not planned may have happened. Like an argument between Drover and Mustaine where Broderick was on Drover's side and felt like he himself couldn't work with Dave anymore.
Anyway, whoever joins Megadeth now, if anybody, I will still be kinda sad by these guys departure from the band because I really got used to them being a part of it.

I consider Megadeth to be a good band to showcase new up and coming lead guitarists. That's why I'm disappointed they chose Loomis. I wish they had chosen someone more unknown, given someone else a break that nobody had heard of. Like the way Ronnie James Dio did with Vivian Campbell or the way Ozzy did with Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, and Zakk Wylde. All those guys, especially Vivian Campbell and Zakk Wylde were very unknown until they were given spots in Dio and Ozzy. In fact, I think both were under 20 years old when they went on their first tours with Dio and Ozzy. I'd like to see how some great new 19 year old might do in Megadeth or even someone in his early 20s. Somebody with fresh ideas who is really hungry to make a name for himself. Someone like that could inject new life into the band. Look at how Randy Rhoads completely revitalized Ozzy's career. Because he was young, hungry, and didn't play guitar like anybody else. He had a completely original style. And those first two Ozzy albums were amazing! Dave Mustaine has been around so long that much like Ronnie James Dio and Ozzy before him, he needs some young blood in his band to give the band a new spark of creativity and energy.

I love Megadeth, but honestly, Dave Mustaine has always shown himself to be a huge tool in my eyes. He has a lot of talent, and I love a lot of Megadeth songs...but I don't have much respect for the guy personally, from listening to him talk in a lot of interviews etc... Megadeth has always gone through a bunch of lineup changes from day one. I assume it's because of creative differences and probably has a lot to do with them not getting along with Mustaine, at least that's what I suspect. It's always been a popularity contest with that guy. He cares too much about being the best and not being #2 when compared to Metallica. He needs to get over that crap.

I had that opinion a few years ago. That said, I have a new found respect for Dave in seeing him the last few years at NAMM. For instance, when signing autographs... I fist thought... man.. not very friendly as he would just sign and go to the next person. But.. if you look at the line.. you realize he wouldn't get through everyone if he chatted. however, two years ago, I was their when someone in a wheelchair was in the line. Dave got out of his seat, walked around the booth and talked with the person one on one for a minute or two. I gained a lot of respect for him in that instance. I have also talked with his son, Justin, for close to an hour. I am also friends with his guitar tech as well. I think there is more than the public persona to him. I now have my own opinions and theories on why he does the things he does... but they are just that, so I will keep them to myself |

I have his autobiography. After reading it I came to the conclusion that I think Dave is a pretty good guy. He made some mistakes when he was younger that he really has regretted terribly for a long time but finally I think he has found peace within himself. Megadeth isn't as well known as Metallica and they aren't as well known, but if you look at Megadeth's output since around the time Metallica released "Load" until now, Megadeth has been the more consistent and better band.
Dave certainly wasn't blessed with a beautiful singing voice but he's done an excellent job of making the most of the talents he does have. He's a good composer, a great rhythm guitarist, and a pretty good lead guitarist too.

Dave certainly wasn't blessed with a beautiful singing voice but he's done an excellent job of making the most of the talents he does have. He's a good composer, a great rhythm guitarist, and a pretty good lead guitarist too. I'm sorry but I have to disagree. Dave Mustaine is not a 'pretty good guy' in my opinion, and I came to this conclusion especially after reading his autobiography. And I quote:
'Jesus, I thought, what is this, some kind of f--king game show? I realized I would have to make a decision. "Okay, you win," I said, and with that I threw a right cross that landed flush against James's face, turning his mouth into a pile of bloody Chiclets.'
When somebody writes this on his autobiography, it's almost as if he was bragging to have punched a friend in the face. I would never punch a friend in the face but if I did and regretted having done it, I would write something like this: 'I threw a punch in blind fury against James' face, and even if at that time it felt like it was the right thing to do because of all that tension between us, I always regretted having commited such an act. I feel very sorry to this day.'I know he is James' friend now and all is forgotten (they even played the Big Four tour and Mustaine has played some Metallica songs with them in other concerts), and the envy about Metallica's success has cooled down, but the way he just wrote that situation in his book looked more like he wanted to brag about being a tough guy than something else. On the other hand, maybe his anger towards Metallica was what was giving Megadeth their flame, because they created their best work as a contest with Metallica to try and be better than them. And now that the anger is fading away, their albums have suffered as well. Regarding his voice, I think Mustaine was actually blessed with a memorable Metal voice. He is not Pavarotti by any means and doesn't have a really beautiful voice like Bruce D!ckinson, but the aggressiveness of his voice really blends in with the killer Metal riffs, and I consider it to be one of the greatest voices in Heavy Metal nonetheless. |

I have never been one to read every comment and rant of an artist, but, it seems to me allot of people hold onto Dave of the past and are not giving him a chance to evolve in their own minds. I read his book and it seems he has made some major changes in his life. I have nothing but respect for the path he is trying to steer to. Hopefully someday people will see it and cut him some slack. I have always been a Megadeth fan. I am looking forward to what is next |
