Megadeth have reportedly hired ex-Nevermore member Chris Broderick as the replacement for lead guitarist Glen Drover.
Although the band, fronted by Dave Mustaine, has yet to confirm Drover's departure via its official web site, numerous postings on various message boards (including Megadeth's official forum) have suggested that Drover has left the band in order to focus on family life.
Broderick has been playing guitar since he was eleven and has been teaching for the last 15 years. He also has a degree in classical guitar music performance and is an accomplished in jazz improvisation and advanced music theory. In short, he is the balls on guitar.
