Shawn looks like he's not really into it, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn looks like he's not really into it, ya know? I'd say enthusiasm's probably more the word you're looking for. And although I'd say Menza did have a bit more, I wouldn't say Shawn has that "I don't wanna be here" look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ranalli Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hopefully he'll convince Dave to jump on the Engl bandwagon. Looks like he plays a powerball, I know Dave has dropped the whole Line6 thing. I love Megadeth, but their tone has never been outstanding (except for 99 ways to die) I cant be the only one here who wants to hear Megadeth w/Engls. Good speed-metal/thrash tones were around long before ENGLs were made.... Megadeth has almost always suffered from sub-par production...not from owning crap gear.

Members Polaris20 Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Megadeth has never had outstanding tone?! What are you a douche?Broderick will use what Mustaine tells him, period.VHT > ENGL Don't be ignorant. Broderick will continue to play Ibanez and Engl because he has endorsement contracts with them. and those contracts are most likely legally binding.

Members Mackin Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Welcome to HCAF n00b. Now go be ignorant somewhere else. I dare say that on a purely technical level, Chris Broderick is easily Marty Friedman's equal, and so far he's nailed every solo note for note in every clip I've seen without breaking a eat. He's an amazingly good guitarist, and thankfully he doesn't seem to have any interest in J-pop. +One gazillionThere you have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Syn Harvest Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 If Menza were still playing drums for Megadeth, this lineup would be the best lineup IMO. James is better than Ellefson, and Chris is a tie, if not better than Marty. But Shawn is lacking on the drums. Menza definitely had more aggression and played better. Fail Broderick is a good player but he lacks the ctalog of great music marty has laid down. As far as i know broderick didnt contribute much in Nevermore. To me he hasnt proven himself as the prolific solo writer that marty is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brewskimetal Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 "fail" uhh... I don't know, that's too strong a statement to me. I was a Marty fan way before he joined with Dave and I wore out my Cacophony casettes and solo stuff(even his Hawaii material) back in the day so I'm a big fan of his. Chris is no slouch and he does have material out there. It's correct that he has nothing to show with his stint in Nevermore since he was only a touring member. I like his material from Jag Panzer quite a bit and have seen him with them several times. Honestly, I find the two really different. Marty can be technical but it's his unique phrasing which is his most impressive trait. It's excellent. Chris is a totally accomplished player with jaw dropping technique, one of those guys who just lives to play...period. I really can't place one above the other, it just comes down to preference. Unfortunately, Jag Panzer is just the type of band that would be considered junk here simply because it's not trendy and doesn't fit perfectly with the radio metal or brutal stuff. Chris has some great material there IMO. Interesting that Chris and Marty play the same amp and I hope it stays that way since I dig the Engl SE sounds and it's great to hear it on a bigger stage. Ron J. and Marty sound excellent playing the SEs on Marty's latest DVD. FailBroderick is a good player but he lacks the ctalog of great music marty has laid down.

Members marshallnoise Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Broderick isn't as weird as either Poland or Freidman. Just not the same and can't be compared. Hell of a player though. I still think that Poland was the best lead guitarist that Megadeth has ever had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the recent videos I've seen of him with Megadeth he seems to be wearing it a bit lower these days tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
