Got a Chris Poland story from back in the day: I went to see his band Damn The Machine in Providence and my car got stolen during the show. Chris and his bandmates gave me $75 for a cab ride home and a cab ride for my nephew to get the school the next day. Great guy. Thank you, Chris. I never forgot what you did for me that night.
-
Chris is easily one of the most underrated guitarists of all time
-
Chris is pretty sharp considering all the drugs he’s used over the years. He seems like a cool guy.
-
I met him in 2013 on the Northside of Chicago. He was doing a gig with a jazz fusion band. He signed my "Peace Sells" album and said he liked my Motörhead jacket; also told me thanks for coming. A very nice and cool guy.
-
Chris Poland was Megadeth's best guitarist! His Jazz background along with his messed up index finger gives him a unique style and sound! Marty is badass, too, but Chirs is insane!
-
Chris Poland has always been my favorite Megadeth guitarist... He's always had his own fluid flowing feel, and his first solo album he did with his brother Mark Poland, Return to Metalopolis, was an absolute masterpiece... If you haven't heard it yet, you need to... I'd take it over ANY Megadeth album any day...
-
Oh, man - thanks for this! Chris Poland has been a hero of mine since back in the Killing/Peace days! It's so great to hear his angle on things. That lineup of Megadeth with Chris and Gar is my all time favorite [though I begrudgingly admit Rust is probably their shining moment, from a technical standpoint]. Nothing beats the raw, insane power of those first two albums, especially Peace Sells. Hey, Chris - here's to you, man! The true fans out here never forgot about you!
-
Peace Sells will always be the greatest Megadeth album imo...incredible
-
Wow, I just gained alot of respect for this dude. Glad he warns people instead of just washing his hands of it
-
Poland is and will always be Megadeth's best lead guitarist. The man is a really unique and cool player. I feel the same way about Gar on the drums. By far the most interesting drummer they ever had.
-
If you haven't checked it out, "Metalopolis" is a Fantastic record, and Chris's band OHM is outstanding as well. It's a crime that he wasn't backed and promoted like Satriani and Vai. He definitely should've been.
-
Chris was and is an excellent guitarist just amazing. RIP Gar a killer drummer! Drugs f..king suck avoid the hard shit!
-
Awesome interview, Chris Poland is one my favorite all time Guitarist. His style and tone is unparalleled and in my mind was the best guitarist to have ever played in Megadeth.
-
I met Gar & Dave in Pittsburgh,at a fairly small bar. They were at the bar,while local bands opened for them. This was before Peace sells came out,Gar even bought me a beer. Really cool guys.
-
Fusion jazz is one of the most difficult types of music to play, exceedingly technical. And that's why I love the first 2 Megadeth albums so much, the one's with Gar and Chris Poland. They brought a blend of skills to the band that was very unique. I'd never heard anything like it when I first heard it back in '86.
-
Excellent interview, I'm glad you asked about Chris playing rhythm on peace sells album, I've seen people saying its only Dave, but you can clearly hear Chris' tone and way of playing on it.
-
So glad he made it to the other side. Not everybody does. He sounds like a very humble dude.
-
You can't stop there Chris. Where's the rest of this interview, I could listen to this honesty all night.
-
It was funny rehearsing at his studios downtown… I didnt even know it was Chris Poland Id always talk with 🤣. This was like 2002. He was a regular guy. Then I went to see Skolnick/Friedman/ Poland tour at the Troub one nite and Boom there was Chris haha. And as much a Marty fan id always been- Chris just WIPED THE FLOOR with those dudes! This was a cool vid to listen to. Full in bloom again for the win 💥💯
-
Really appreciate this interview. Chris is a good guy.
