JAKARTA - In a recent interview with "Coffee With Ola", the YouTube program hosted by Ola Englund, former Megadeth guitarist Chris Brodeck was asked about his involvement with the band led by Dave Mustaine.

More specifically, Brodeck was asked if he tried to replicate solo in the classic songs of the band of the era of Marty Freidman and previous guitarists in exactly the same way or not.

"Yes. And I will tell you the reason. Because not only, at that time, I was thinking about what Dave might want but also especially, more importantly, what fans wanted," Brodeck was quoted as saying by Blabbermouth, Tuesday.

"Because in the end they are the owners and keepers of this music, and they are the reason you play and who listen to you. As cool as I think, I can make some riffs like, 'Oh, they're going to love these riffs'

So, for Brodeck, it's all about re-creating and trying to play Marty Friedman or other guitarists as fairly as possible. Without removing the substance they have instilled.

"So I definitely want to try and make it as authentic as possible. However, one thing you can't argue about is your own taste in'stimulate words', and for me it depends on setting time and articulation and things like that. So, as far as the tone flows, I'm really trying to make it back as close as possible (to the original), but then with a sense of time and my expression - maybe in my own words," he explained.

Brodeck joined Megadeth in late 2007 as a replacement for Glen Drover. He then joined In Slames in early 2019 as a replacement for Niclas Engelin.
