Hola metalheads, I'm sure you've heard by now that Mustaine has yet another new guitarist. Glen Drover is out and Chris Broderick of Nevermore and Jag Panzer fame is in. To be honest, I was thinking that Drover was a great fit and would be with the band for a while. I guess that it is becoming very obvious that Mustaine is hard to work with/for. I'm really in to band chemistry and that is one thing that is hard to find in Megadeth's history. Of course Mustaine writes all of the songs and lyrics and it is his band but I think the fans want to get to know the rest of the guys as well. The fans want to feel like the band is a band and not just a "star" with some hired guns. Anyway, let me know what you think about the switch. BTW, this is no knock on Broderick, he is an amazing guitarist and should bring some interesting solos to the new album.
Pelican Revisited. I popped in Australasia the other day and was reminded of just how magniloquent Pelican's sound is. They really take several genre's of music and combine them into atmospheric masterpieces. Drought has some riffs that rival the heaviness of Page/Iommi. If you haven't checked out Pelican, do yourself a favor and check out Australasia. All of their albums are great but this is my favorite. Although the songs are all instrumental, they are visually stimulating. They are a conceptual band that paints images without using words.
Peace be unto thee--

Interesting regarding Megadeth. One reason I love Maiden is you can always count on Nicko, Bruce, Steve, Dave Murray, and Adrian Smith to be on stage when you see them.
As for Pelican, I am really starting to love this genre. Weedeater, Baroness, and Boris seem to be in a similar vein and I love all of them as well.
