“Set up your life so that when you get opportunities you can act on them.” Chris Broderick (Coffee with Ola) That’s powerful 🤘

[@suvarnachauhan951]

Man his solos in Dialectic Chaos and Sudden death are really really insane.

[@bladeofwar]

IMO he was the only one that not only respected Marty's solos by playing them note for note, but was the closest axeman to actually play the solos exactly how Friedman did. Broderick is an absolute guitar god.

[@scootertb26]

Endgame is one of my favourite Megadeth albums

[@josemb_1473]

Endgame has the craziest Megadeth solos ever, How The Story Ends is insane

[@chrisw7347]

Chris is one of the nicest metal musicians I've met in all the live shows I've been to. He just radiates warmth and its clear he deeply enjoys what he does. I still have the guitar pick he gave me around 20 years ago at a Jag Panzer show

[@FreddyGaming]

[@anthonylumpkins]

I met Chris at a clinic a few years ago and he was one of the most humble, down to earth human beings I’ve ever met. And it goes without saying that he’s a guitar prodigy. I wish nothing but the absolute best for him in whatever he does.

[@Giomalmsteen]

First met Chris is 2009 during the end game tour, been to around 20 Act of defiance shows, caught last 2 minutes of In Flames. He treats everybody like family. Hell I even got my parents into metal, and he would call my mom, "mom". His gf Stephanie is as good at photography as he is guitar. Thanks for everything you do Ola

[@nicholastotoro7721]

I caught him and Loomis in Nevermore back in 2005 or so and only the last several years realize and appreciate how cool it was to pay witness to that.

[@LambChopper678]

Awesome coffee chat men🤘🏻 I saw Chris play with Megadeth years back when he first joined. I had no idea what to expect and he absolutely killed it❗️

[@eamonahern7495]

One of the best things he did in Megadeth was reproducing all the solos prior to his era in the band live. But his time in the band also exposed me to his other guitar skills and all the other wonderful stuff he did in his career. Chris is a great guy.

[@Burkhimself]

Man, I think Chris is one of the most underrated players around now. Talent and authenticity. I’ve never heard this guy be anything but humble and polite to everyone. Great talk.

[@josuemartinez9688]

I really don't like how many people likes to call 'underrated' a lot of artist like some kind of praise. Stop that crap! He's not underrated, he's doing pretty well and keep building his legacy! I don't think any artist would like to been called underrated

[@zombro7922]

I met him recently and was straight star struck. The dude is so genuinely nice its incredible and obviously a phenomenal guitar player.

[@dennisperin2989]

The Metalhead to head series with Chris & George Lynch was awesome, the look on George’s face as Broderick is killing it on a 7 string is priceless, “ George-How are you doing that?” I love me some George Lynch , Chris Broderick is on a whole different level.

[@carlosvonbismarck1217]

[@markandersen793]

I love Chris’s guitar work on one of Megadeth’s best albums: Endgame, absolutely stellar 🤘🤘🔥

[@stephen686]

I can't tell you how much i enjoyed his time with megadeth. I love how flawless his technique is, by far one of my favorite guitarists. Thanks Ola!!!

[@Lord_Aghast]

I remember first hearing about Chris back in the early 2000s. My friends and I found those early 240p videos of Chris playing classical guitar and his crazy 4 finger tapping licks. I’m pretty sure he was playing in Jag Panzer at the time (his original band) and eventually to see him join Megadeth was a huge trip, I was really proud for the guy. Chris is a stand up guy, total sweetheart.

[@luigizanellato2959]

Coffee with Ola is the shit! And, having Chris on, damn man!

[@zatoichi7540]

The Jag Panzer albums Chris played on are super underrated. The Age Of Mastery, Thane To The Throne, Mechanized Warfare and Casting The Stones!

[@danlord7717]

Just a super underrated band all around. That early American power metal was so good. It didn’t have that triumphant, majestic sound of the euro bands. It was a bit more restrained and grounded. Warlord was awesome too

[@zatoichi7540]

@@danlord7717 hell yeah love Warlord! That Deliver Us EP is some of the best mystical heavy metal of the 80s!

[@jeffmartinaz]

Chris is such a nice, genuine guy. Met him a few nights ago with In Flames here in Phoenix. Had to come back and watch this interview again.

[@TheLotusEater725]

Oh man! I've been following chris since the Jag Panzer days!

[@jasonjuneau2948]

Cooool! I got to meet Chris, however briefly, at a signing when he was in megadeth. Cool dude...Dave wasn't so....accommodating.

[@lytanshade]

Nice! Chris plays so effortlessly and flawlessly live. Looking forward to this coffee chat.

[@bullybar4078]

One of Ola’s best interviews. You can tell he’s on the edge of his seat with enthusiasm with Chris and their vibe. Nice one!

[@Barnabus007]

Chris did his best work in Jag Panzer. Those are seriously underrated albums.

[@davidscafidi]

Chris is amazing a real pro! He showed me what it was like to be dedicated hard working musician. I was student of chris when he taught at M.I . . He also played a solo on my upcoming single! Thanx for this Ola!

[@Simonize41]

Great interview, Ola. Chris is one of my guitar hero’s and I’m glad you had the chance to interview him. TBH I think Chris would have carried on talking haha. Lovely guy and what a guitarist! Thanks to you both.😎

[@themaggot8]

I saw Chris back in the day when he was with Megadeth and he is one of those players that leaves you in awe. His playing is so fluid and makes it look so effortless to the point that it's hard to believe that someone has that level of skill.

[@dilatedindisbelief]

One of the most respectable musicians I've had to pleasure to meet and spend a little time with as a student. He has a great attitude, work ethic, and approach to his instrument. Glad to see he's still a name in the metal and guitar world.

[@vodrockmusic]

Played in the Denver scene at the same time Chris did. Nicest guy. Chris was hands down the best guitarist in the scene. Remember when he joined Jag Panzer. Great interview Ola!

[@ibanezmaestro5630]

Chris Broderick is badass. I saw In Flames in Reno back in October. It was the night before they played Aftershock. I never even knew that he had joined the band. They put on a phenomenal show. Afterward, Chris threw me one of his signature picks. I still have it. It was awesome!

[@LouSassles]

Chris is so well spoken. Very intelligent & intellectual. Well rounded

[@grimblegromblethegnome]

Man Chris seems like such an awesome dude. Super nice and humble. Oh and not to mention he's one of the greatest ever!

[@lousassles8558]

Saw him with act of defiance,,great guitar player

[@napesdrk1174]

I never really thought twice about Chris but, after Ola did his Oprah thing he made the interview great and Chris seems to be a mega solid dude, I will start today going thru his catalog. He also said King Dimond 🤴 and that warms my heart. BIG FAN Chris!!

[@arpegio88]

Start with his work in the band Jag Panzer from 1998-2004; you won't be disappointed.👍🏾

[@HarleyCampbell79]

When I saw Megadeth live He nailed every solo perfect …. Cheers

[@peevee605]

This interview warms the heart. It’s two of my favorite dudes having coffee talking about music, life and gear. Broderick is mentioning something important about the less variations on guitar sounds these days. That goes for a lot of production of records too. Great stuff and Ola is the nicest dude in the industry.

[@jensloetzsch]

His solos on Foregone are incedible ! As he said, they fit the song very well ! Very musical, beautiful melodies, a few few fast runs here and there but not too much. Really awesome musical work !

[@WesleyKhalil]

Great interview! But i wish he told more Nevermore stories. To me, it was always an enigma how he got there, and why he didn`t stay. Phenomenal player.

[@WardGuitarCabinets]

Thank god Coffee With Ola is happening again. They’re so awesome. This was a fantastic episode

[@metalpiper]

Brilliant as always!! CB has to be one of the most well rounded guitarists ever. Bonus he's a fantastic dude. OLA, get those badasses from Malevolence in here. Talk about tempo changes in tunes...WOW!! I need a new t-shirt OLA.....my dryer has destroyed my old one. lol

[@MRRVADrums]

What a power interview. Two of the coolest and most talented musicians in metal today. 🤘🏻👊🏻

[@Vestu]

I'm so happy that Broderick is part of In Flames now. His playing is just amazing. It's uniquely sharp and aggressive. I kinda feel that after Megadeth he might've been not doing super great for a while? Maybe that's just me, but yeah I feel like being a member of In Flames brings a lot of good stuff into his life again.

[@lecorsaire2283]

I always get really excited whenever a new episode of Coffee with Ola pops up on my homepage. There are tons of interviews you can find on KZbin, but it’s far more interesting when fellow musicians sit down and talk to each other than the random TV or radio personality. Chris is a phenomenal talent and has now been in three of my all-time favorite bands. I checked out the Gothenburg show from a couple of weeks ago and he sounded great with the band. Hopefully they’ll come to NY sometime this year or next.

[@klimpster]

Couldn’t click this any faster when I saw it. I first saw him when he joined Megadeth and I was completely blown away. Like this guy can play exactly everything.

[@coryjackson8409]

I got to get onstage and sing I’m Broken with Chris and Act Of Defiance and it was such a surreal experience!!! One of the nicest dudes on the planet!!! Ola, let’s do a coffee with Mark Tremonti soon. Dude is totally into meta and shred and I think it would be a great interview!! Peace

[@AnaerobicFermentation]

Funnily enough, I found out about this dude when I went to see in flames around early 2000s I think it was and Jag Panzer toured with them.

[@andcruz]

Broderick is responsible for one of the fucking greatest instrumental songs ever. Dialectic chaos when in MegaDave.

[@spaceshipearth356]

This new era is totally something else. I would never imagined famous people having a chat on their youtube channels like 20 years ago. If you asked me then, why would anyone be spending their free time like that? This is awesome.

[@Gothenburg1]

when you listen to Chris it's like he's about to hang his guitar and start playing slow jazzy and sophisticated thing, instead of that LOUD and fuck'in BRUTAL metal tone like with new In Flames stuffs. that's amazing!

I love Chris. When I started getting into Megadeth, Glen was the guitarist and left probably a year after I got into them. When I heard they got Chris, I went digging to listen to his stuff and shortly afterward was treated to tons of live videos of him on his first tour with them, absolutely killing it. Loved his contributions to Megadeth and how he played the solos his predecessors composed. Absolute masterful player, and he seems like a standup guy. I've legitimately missed hearing his stuff and look forward to hearing him with In Flames
