JEMFESTradio (CHRIS POLAND) submit questions!

[Ricky Garcia]

Hi!

I will talk to guitarist Chris Poland very soon who is mainly known for beeing in the band Megadeth in the past and also will be on the new record coming out soon...

Please help me out with some questions!!

[Oceano]

- How does it feel to be back working with Megadeth after all this time?

- Will he also be touring for the album, or just recording it?

- When was the last time he performed any Megadeth songs live?

- Describe the sound of the new Megadeth.

- Did he ever get any offers to join or to audition for any established bands.

I believe he did a tour with Alex Skolnick and Marty Friedman last year, you could ask him about it.

- What solo projects is he also working on now.

- Musical influences, guitaristic influences.

These are just some I thought of now, if I think of anything else, I will let you know.

This is great , somebody's going to interview CP .

A good question would be How do you feel about playing in Megadeth without Dave Ellifson ..

And also Chris' Brother played Drums on CP's solo release "Return to Meltalopolous , was there any consideration to have the brother play in Megadeth ?


I hope the next Megadeth album ripps the last one was kind of tame , see you ..

hmm.. that's great!
i'm basically interessted in everything that guy has to say.. but would be happy to read his answers about the following:

- what is his approach on soloing theorywise
- favorite chord changes/scales?
- due to an accident he can only use three fingers of his left hand, did he ever consider adding his right hand fingers on the fretboard -> tapping stuff like greg howe?
- is he (still) practising, and if so, what?
- his solos (especially during the damn the machine and return to metalopolis time) sound more like keyboard than guitar lines. does he have an favorite keyboard player? did he transcribe keyboard stuff? how come his phrasing is not so "guitar related"?

ricky, would be great to have some of his signature lick tabed out and explained by him!

looking forward to the interview!!
