It's actually called The System Has Failed tongue.gif biggrin.gif but Chris Poland kicks arse. He was great in Megadeth and just as important as Marty Friedman I think. Peace Sells is my favourite Megadeth album.

Chris is the man - fantastic legato technique [just one of his trademarks]!

He is awesome, I think the new Megadeth guitarist Chris Broderick is awesome too.

That is for certain. I can't wait to see Megadeth again in February next year and a new album with Chris playing. I love his style and technique.

He rules big time, Peace Sells is still my absolute fave in the Megadeth collection, and I also saw him live with Damn the Mashine in the early 90's, and they rocked big time too. Awesome player... just the guy that filmed the video was not really an expert, did he forget to switch on the light??? wink.gif

Posted by: Toni Suominen Oct 7 2008, 07:59 PM

Great player indeed. He doesn't look as metal anymore though laugh.gif

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Oct 9 2008, 11:04 AM

True, his looks changed a bit, but his playing still rules big time.

Posted by: Emir Hot Oct 9 2008, 02:21 PM
