Chris Broderick, lead and rhythm guitarist for Megadeth, may be a classically trained musician, but he owes his musical passion to metal.

Dave Mustaine, founder and frontman of the band, has likened finding the talented player to Ozzy Osborne finding guitarist extraordinaire Randy Rhoads. For his part, Broderick waves off the comparison, saying only that there are many great metal musicians out there — especially co-headliner Rob Zombie.
