MEGADETH Guitarist CHRIS BRODERICK: What I Did On My Summer Vacation

November 8, 2008

MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick (formerly of NEVERMORE and JAG PANZER) has posted the following message on the band's official forum:

"I wanted to catch everyone up with what I have been up to the past few months. Well, first of all, I have been practicing (as usual) trying to keep my technique improving and writing new riffs and pieces. While I had the summer pretty much free, I took the opportunity to vacation for a week on a houseboat in Lake Powell (it was definitely needed). The week was filled with wakeboarding, jet skiing, hiking, and good friends. More recently, my girlfriend and I threw a Halloween party. I dressed up as a psychotic clown and looked pretty stupid. Ahahahah. Between all of this, of course, I have been heading down to Vic's Garage [MEGADETH's newly built studio], getting the studio up and running and starting the writing process with Dave [Mustaine; guitar, vocals], James [Lomenzo; bass] and Shawn [Drover; drums]. At any rate, I am looking forward to getting back out on tour and meeting more of you.

"P.S.: In case it's not painfully obvious, I am horrible at wakeboarding, but I thought it would be funny and this is why I play guitar for a living. Ahahahhaa."

MEGADETH will embark on the "Priest Feast" European tour with headliners JUDAS PRIEST and openers TESTAMENT in February 2009.

The band's new CD is being helmed by acclaimed British producer Andy "Undie" Sneap, who produced MEGADETH's last album, "United Abominations" (May 2007, Roadrunner Records).

MEGADETH's forthcoming LP will be the group's first with Chris Broderick, who replaced Glen Drover at the end of last year.

MEGADETH's "Anthology: Set The World Afire" (Capitol/EMI) career-spanning 2-CD and digital collection sold around 2,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
