Chris Poland interview - 21 Apr 09

Whether it's the amazing and diverse Return To Metalopolis album,
the classic Megadeth albums, or his fusion project OHM, Chris
Poland can be counted on to deliver amazing guitar work. But his
songwriting should be highlighted as much as his fretboard skills.
"The Fall Of Babylon" is but one great example of the songwriting
prowess Chris possesses. While Metal may be in his past and Fusion
is where he is at (and always has been), all of his music is heavy
in so many ways. You have the Megadeth albums, but you should also
have Return To Metalopolis and the OHM album Circus Of Sound.

Chris was very open in our discussion of his life in music. What
was to be a 30 minute conversation ended up lasting about an hour.
Not surprising, since Chris has had many musical endeavors. He's
covered alot of ground since the '70s, in many ways coming full
circle...from The New Yorkers to OHM.

***UPDATE*** The following message is from Chris regarding our
conversation about the song "The Fall Of Babylon."
