Ahh, I had a cd of this guy, 'Return to metalopolis' Fantastic player, I saw a video from Namm(04?) of him playing an lp thru some guys custom made amp, he was still pretty cool. I think he has arthritis in his pinky now...must be in his 50s?. Anyone know if he's still putting out albums?

You're kidding, right? He's not that old and he most certainly has no problems with his pinky. A few friends in the States recently saw him play live and described him as amazing...

Chris is still very active. He played a lot of leads on the last Megadeth album "The System Has Failed" which was released this year.

His other band, OHM is very different. Heavily jazz-based, but amazing. Check out their latest release, "Amino Acid Flashback" :wink: http://www.chrispoland.com/
