Chris Broderick Interview link


 Since January 14th 2008, Chris Broderick has been the new guitar player of Megadeth. In this podcast, Chris talks about Megadeth and about him. He says that the album "Rust in Peace" was the first album from Megadeth that he really liked, before he joined the band. The first album he created with Megadeth was "Endgame". The "Endgame" albumn cover explains all of what the album's music is about. Chris says that when you tour with a really famous band like Megadeth, you should be very careful how you presend yourself on stage, where you're going to be and what you're going to say on the interviews. He doesn't pay much attention to the lyrics, he pays more attention to the melody, and sees the voice as an extra instrument. Chris also says that different places have different fans, for example Los Angeles has new bands playing every night. Europena audiences are louder than American. Chris is also really into technology and online games, and still continues to give online lessons after his tour.

Judas priest- KK Downing interview

Kerrang podcast: Judas priest link


In this podcast, the guitarist of Judas Priest, KK Downing, talks about ther concert in Donnington 27 years since the last time they played there. They had played in Donnington in 1981, with Scorpions and Deep Purple. This time they will play with Kiss and Motorhead. KK Downing also talks about Judas Priest new album "Nostradamus". This album was released on July 2008. The idea for this album came from their manager, so that they would release a new album to tour on. Judas Priest read some literature on Nostradamus and they got really inspired by it. This album is full of emotion and it is non fictional, and it is about believing and being skeptical. It also talks about Nostradamu's life and questions, and it follows a plot through the album, just like telling a story. It is 1 hour and 40 minutes long and it is a great album with lots of emotion. This podcast is very helpful for my project, because we see that metal albums like "Nostradamus" are very emotional and interesting, and this shows that a good metal album is not just noise like some people think it is.
