If there’s one factor you’ll be able to say about ‘Massive 4’ band and Dave Mustaine’s child Megadeth, it’s that they’ve had a form of revolving door coverage with its lineup. The turnover price is famous — particularly on the drummer and second guitarist positions. Because the band’s inception in 1983, 19 completely different musicians have been featured on their 16 albums over time.

One man that had the privilege of shredding alongside Mustaine from 2008 to 2014 was now In Flames guitarist Chris Broderick. He was featured on Endgame, 13, and the insanely doubtful Tremendous Collider earlier than he was finally supplanted by now fellow ex-Megadeth member Kiko Loureiro.

Throughout a latest interview on the Scars and Guitars Podcast, Broderick revealed that all through his time on the band, he was conscious about his place inside Megadeth’s hierarchy. Particularly after one explicit interview whereas he was within the band that he remembers to at the present time.

“I simply tried to place my head down and play the guitar. And that’s all the time what it’s about for me initially. Like, I like taking part in the guitar. So, I bear in mind I bought an interview proper once I joined Megadeth, and this child, he was so superior.”

The interview was superior, Broderick stated, due to one query that also stands out in his thoughts — “You’re the twenty second member that’s been in Megadeth. How does that make you’re feeling?”

“I simply began laughing. I imply, twenty second, second guitarist, it doesn’t matter – I’m right here to play guitar. And I simply did my finest to give attention to that as a lot as attainable. So, that’s the one factor that grounded me and saved me sane for the period of time that I used to be in that band.”

Seems like Broderick had the appropriate mindset when working in a band with a lot turnover.
