c'est Christian Lasegue qui revient... on verra, bon au moins y aura plein de vieux morceaux

Colorado metallers JAG PANZER have announced the addition of Christian Lasegue as their new lead guitarist. Those familiar with the band's "Chain of Command" release will recognize his name as the lead guitarist on that album.

Guitarist Mark Briody comments: "We had set the bar pretty high for lead guitar playing with our first full-length album. There was much concern among fans and critics as to whether or not we could maintain such a high level of musicianship in the lead guitar department. Christian quelled those concerns about two seconds into his first solo. A large part of the underground popularity of 'Chain of Command' is easily attributed to the electrifying guitar playing of Christian Lasegue. Christian was a great guitar player back then and his chops are light years beyond that today. I'm excited to be working with him again."

Christian first gig back with the band will be on stage as headliners at the prestigious Keep It True festival this April in Germany.

Regarding former JAG PANZER guitarist Chris Broderick's new gig as a member of MEGADETH, Briody said, "It's not enough to just say 'Best of luck to Chris.' We're a close-knit band and Chris is a brother to all of us. He's a great guy and a close friend. We're all very excited and happy for Chris. MEGADETH fans are in for a treat, Chris is a world-class player."

C'est vrai qu'il y aura plein de vieux titres en live, mais comment Christian Lasegue va faire pour jouer les soli de Broderick?

Pour le prochain album ça risque aussi de changer pas mal la direction du groupe vu que Broderick composait de plus en plus récemment, du coup je pressens un retour à des choses plus old school.

mouais ....

tant qu'ils jouent bien au Keep it true X...

CHAIIIN OF COMMAAAAAND, UNITED WE STAAAAAAND

LaSegue... pitain le pauvre nom quand même

Ils vont essayer d'enregistrer un live au prochain KIT festival :

JAG PANZER guitarist Mark Briody has issued the following:

"First of all — a HUGE congratulations to Chris Broderick [former JAG PANZER guitarist] for his new gig with MEGADETH. Chris is a world-class talent and the hardest worker I've ever met. He's like a brother to me and I'm excited for him to get this opportunity. Myself, and everyone else in the band, not only support Chris's decision, we're excited for him.

"We (JAG PANZER) have brought Chris Lasegue back to play guitar. Chris tore it up on 'Chain Of Command' and his chops are light years better then they were back then.

"So why the total silence from JAG PANZER over the past year? Frankly, I'm upset about getting the rug pulled out from me on the live album. We have a budget for the live album. A tiny budget. I took out a spreadsheet and figured that this budget would allow us to rent a van and drive to Montreal to record the live album. We'd have to supply the recording equipment ourselves and mix the live album ourselves. Yes, the budget is that small.

"We were planning on recording the show for a live DVD as well. Releasing this live DVD would have offset our additional costs we incurred on the live album. But I never saw the DVD release paperwork from the label. Gas prices have gotten so high that our budget wouldn't even cover expenses one way to Montreal or anywhere else we'd need to go for a live album.

"So right now we're stuck. We're contractually obligated to do a live album, but there funds to do it just aren't adequete. People have suggested we record the Keep It True [festival] show [in Germany in April 2008]. That's a great idea. But I checked on the price of a mobile truck and it's double the budget. Arghhh!!!

"My solution — we're moving forward with new material after we get back from Germany. I'm hoping things can get sorted out with the live album, but I have to move forward.

"I'm not angry with Century Media [record label], I know they are trying to run a business. But something has to give.

"So look for a new single in the months after Keep It True."
