Chris Broderick: Why I LEFT Megadeth!

Guitarist Chris Broderick talked about leaving Megadeth back in 2014, telling Eon Music:

"The fact that drummer Shawn Drover and I left Megadeth the same day was not a coincidence, but it was an individual decision for each of us. I had honestly been thinking about parting ways for probably a year and a half. It was a heavy decision, and there were a lot of considerations.

What tipped the scales was when Dave had called us and wanted to start working on the next CD, because for me, personally, I just knew my heart wasn't in it. I could just tell that I wasn't 'there,' and I knew it was time to go off and do my own thing.

"And apparently, Shawn had pretty much the same feelings, because when he left, he actually quit six hours before I did, and when he did that, I knew he had made the right decision, so I decided to leave as well.

Asked if the poor reception of "Super Collider" contributed to his departure, Broderick replied:

"It did, yes, because, for me, it wasn't musically where I wanted to be. But Megadeth, ultimately, was never about musically where I wanted to be; you know, Megadeth is 'Megadeth,' and that's basically it, that's the band.

It's not like I had any real say in how that band sounded or anything like that, so ultimately, that did contribute to my departure.

I think a few of us had called the bad reviews out, and knew that it was going to be received that way. We anticipated that that was going to be the review, long before it was released."
