New MEGADETH Guitarist Is 'Looking Forward' To Hitting The Stage

January 29, 2008

New MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick (formerly of JAG PANZER and NEVERMORE) has issued the following update:

"Just finishing up some loose ends before I head out. I have 20 songs down and there are a few more I will learn while on the road. I love playing the solos to 'Hangar 18' and 'Washington Is Next!' and look forward to playing them on stage. I have been working on all the rhythms with Dave [Mustaine, MEGADETH mainman] who has a very meticulous ear which is a big help in getting the rhythms exact."

Broderick will make his live debut with MEGADETH on February 4 in Finland, where the group will kick off a long string of international dates which wrap March 14 in Bangalore, India.

The third installment of Gigantour — the acclaimed traveling heavy music festival launched in 2005 by Mustaine — will launch April 12 in Denver, CO with headliner MEGADETH, Swedish metal band IN FLAMES, Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM, Arizona's modern extreme JOB FOR A COWBOY and Oakland, CA heavy power trio HIGH ON FIRE all confirmed. The 29-date trek will criss-cross North America and wraps May 22 in Phoenix, AZ.
