Kiss, hug and make up

It’s always funny to see how we all loveĀ each other so much…

And fame doesn’t have much to do with it, I guess.

From Megadeth to Nightwish

Author: Ovidiu | Filed under: Megadeth, Nightwish Tuesday Jun 2,2009

I was in the mood for Megadeth today, so I looked up for Symphony of destruction, I love that song, it is one of my favorite songs from Megadeth, I think next to Skin of my teeth and A tout le monde, I guess..

So, when listening to it on YouTube, I found a version of Nightwish, cool, I didn’t know Nightwish covered Symphony of destruction, I must say I liked it very much, it has a bit of a particular flavor, the keyboard in particular, sounds interesting and the voice of the bass player matches both the song and the band.

So here it is, Nightwish with Symphony of destruction!

By the way, if you also are in the mood for Megadeth, here’s the man himself teaching us how to play the song:

Enjoy!

Dave Mustaine soloingYesterday, in an interview, Dave Mustaine said that guys who don’t solo aren’t fully accomplished guitar players. I was thinking about it considering also my previous article about the unfair position of a rhythm guitar player.

I wonder what rhythm (jazz) guitar players might say to this, considering the complexity of jazz guitar chords and rhythms. I know that there is a common belief that soloing is getting you in the big league somehow, under the main lights of the stage, since the guitar hero myth was born and maintained for the last 40 70 (?!) years (I think…) but is it right to speak about accomplishment in such cases?

In some cases, we could speak about feeling accomplished when touring, when releasing a CD/DVD, when being a star, etc, but in most cases I think that the accomplishment as a guitar player comes from inside of you, feeling happy with who you are, with your playing and knowledge about music and guitar.

Or is Mustaine right?

Chris Broderick officially joined Dave Mustaine on Megadeth

Author: Ovidiu | Filed under: Megadeth Monday Jan 14,2008

chris broderick megadeth dave mustaineStarting today, January 14th, Chris Broderick is the new guitar player of Megadeth. Started as a rumor a few days ago on the internet, it is now announced that Chris Broderick officially replaced Glen Drover, no more room for rumors. Glen Drover had problems balancing his family life with touring and band business so he left room for a new guitar player and the new guitar player is Broderick, formerly known as the guitar player of Jag Panzer and Nevermore. Now he is officially the new axe player of Megadeth.

Great news for him!

Well, this post is about Chris Broderick of Nevermore. There is a rumor on the internet that he is going to join Megadeth, Glen Drover wishing to leave the band due to family reasons. At least this is what some say

However, this is not the reason of this post. The reason is an other one. After reading this news and watching a short movie with Chris Broderick playing five-octave arpeggios, I wanted to watch more and I did on YouTube. Of course, he can play electric guitars like hell, this it is what he does. He is a rock guitar player, he knows to shred and play both hands arpeggios, right?


OK, fine!!But now comes the thing that made me write this post! Man, this guy really knows how to play the guitar, beyond rock boundaries! He plays classical guitar and I am not speaking about dark arpeggios or futuristic sounds like Satriani does on his acoustic guitar, no! I am speaking pure classical guitar! Bach!



What do you know?Also see some jazz slap but I can not tell if he is good or not since I am not into jazz, but if you are, let us know what you think!
