Former MEGADETH Guitarist GLEN DROVER Issues Update

January 28, 2009

Canadian guitarist Glen Drover (ex-MEGADETH, KING DIAMOND, EIDOLON) has issued the following update:

"Yes, I know it's been a bit quiet here lately, but I have been very busy in the studio doing a few different things, most notably trying to finish off the song 'Egyptian Danza' which is an Al Di Meola song from his 'Casino' record. Anybody who is aware of Al's music knows that it is NOT easy to play, which is the exact reason I wanted to record it! Lucky for me, I have been fortunate enough to have some stellar musicians help me on this track — Chris Sutherland (KIM MITCHELL) on drums, Paul Yee on bass and Jim Gilmour (SAGA) on keyboards.

"We are all doing this for the enjoyment of playing music (a novel concept, nowadays it seems) and I have to say that we are all excited about how this tune is turning out!!!

"You will hear the final product on all of my official web pages as soon as I have completed mixing the track, so keep your eyes (and ears) peeled for that very soon. This tune is a precursor to a full record's worth of instrumental rock/fusion tracks I plan on recording this year (my stuff will probably be a bit heavier, though).

"Another thing I have been very busy with is my online guitar lessons, which I am really pleased with how things have shaped up in a very short time period. I have students from pretty much around the globe who all seem to be having a good time with this, as I. I do have a few more spots open, so anybody who may express interest, you can contact me at [email protected]. Serious inquiries about lessons only, please.

"And if that wasn't enough to occupy my time, I am toying with the idea of accepting bands who want to record here in my studio, depending on how involved the project may be time-wise, etc. I am currently juggling a few different bands and my own musical project in the studio, but I think I can squeeze in another band or two. Bands who may express interest in this, contact me through my MySpace page."

Drover left MEGADETH at the end of 2007 and was replaced by Chris Broderick, who has previously played with NEVERMORE and JAG PANZER.
