I used to have a gunkulator modulator, man, and I wish I still did.

No guitar is safe.

What's up, all you guitar friends? I know you all love guitar so much, and that's why we're listening.

That's why we're all here.

I really appreciate you listening to No Guitar is Safe.

Episode 179, I'm Jude Gold, and on the show today is a true monster, a virtuoso, because he plays so many different styles.

Chris Poland.

It's brought to you today by Guitar Player magazine and GuitarPlayer.com.

Thank you Guitar Player for making this interview happen.

Chris is of course known for being the first lead guitarist of the great thrash band Megadeth.

And of course he also has a fantastic kind of more instrumental trio these days called

Ohm, Ohem, great stuff.

And he's been in other bands too, like, you know, he's got Damn the Machine.

He even played bass in the Circle Jerks.

He's done a lot of different stuff, and he has a killer studio in LA.

We're gonna land our helicopter here on the roof of the building.

It's a big old warehouse downtown. It's super

vibey. There's a bunch of other rock and roll rooms in the building, you know. And on this

particular day, it's got to be like a hundred degrees. So please forgive the air conditioner. You can

hear it working hard in the background, but we needed it to stay alive on this day. So there's a

little bit of a hum in there.

I tried to EQ it out the best I could, but it's still there.
