Last month I met him and In Flames (except for Bjorn and Anders) at the airport day after seeing them play with Meshuggah. Had a badass conversation with Chris, asked about his guitars, his signal chain, his set, and Jeff Loomis. Broderick even dared to pay for my Starbucks coffee!
Out of all artists/musicians I had the pleasure to meet, I have to say he is one of the best, most talented, and most humble ever! He deserves a lot more recognition for his insane talent and I'm happy I had the chance to tell him how much I appreciate his playing.
Thank you for the upload!
I saw him with Megadeth once, he made playing guitar look as easy as tying shoes or breathing. That guy is really an amazing player.
Only other player I've saw make it look that easy was Eddie Van Halen
Really wish I could have saw him in Nevermore. Him an Jeff Loomis on the same stage? Best duo ever? As far as technical ability I think they were. Those two are both incredible, I saw Loomis in a club in Seattle that I can't remember the name of, it use to be called Under The Rail. It's a dive but I loved it.
I would like him to stay in Megadeth. Those albums I like way more than the newest one.
Wait what?!? Broderick plays for In Flames??..Thats like Paul Gilbert playing in Green day 😅

the cat was so cute
@21:30 for what we all came here for… You're welcome!
the most talented people always the most humble' great interview really enjoyed that
This mofo was immaculate at River stage in Brisbane when he played with Megadeth. Surgical precision playing and amazing chops
Great podcast. Wish there was more Jag Panzer material though. Mechanized Warefare is a great album.
