	Damn the Machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Damn the Machine was a short-lived progressive metal band founded by ex-Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland.
		While the group was indeed heavy metal, their sound was slightly more progressive than Poland's previous band, perhaps more comparable to the likes of Queensryche and Fates Warning but with a jazzier twist and politically charged lyrics.
		Clemmons later resurfaced in a band called Jud, while Chris Poland became a member of the jazz-rock outfit Ohm with whom he has released a couple of albums.

		After his untimely release from Megadeth, Chris and his brother Mark released this solo CD.

	Chris Poland : Return to Metalopolis - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Guitarist Chris Poland was an original member of Megadeth, and helped to make them one of the most exciting guitar bands of the early thrash metal scene.
		Poland, an intelligent player, obviously draws inspiration from Jeff Beck and other guitarists who predate the '80s heavy metal scene, and values tone and taste as much as volume.
		This album is obviously a labor of love for Chris Poland, who is glowing in his newfound sobriety.

	Chris Poland reviews
		All together Chris´ sound and tonalities remind me a lot of Vinnie Moore´s "Meltdown" album, though Poland might probably be the heavier of the two.
		Chris Poland who played all the instruments himself (except for the drums played by his brother Mark) proves to be a high-class player and makes his music available for insiders as well as for non-musicians due to the "song character" in his instrumental pieces.
		Poland was a major component to that sound, but after one of Mustaine's temper–tantrums, Poland was pushed out of the band at a time when all Megadeth could do was become more popular.

	[No title]
		Chris Poland's band OHM started the festival off with a blazing powerhouse performance that as great as the other acts were over the next two days, none were able to capture the energy and level of musical brilliance that these three guys put together in their 50 minute set.
		Chris Poland was one of the first metal guitar players who not only found his very own style (which admittedly many had back then), but who also dared to take the step to record an all-instrumental solo-album - Return To Metalopolis - as early as 1990.
		Poland and crew are keen on keeping the listener on their toes with plenty of twists and turns.

	Chris Poland
		While in high school, Chris was the victim of a useless high school prank and was shoved through a plate glass door, severing many tendons in his left hand.
		Although the surgery to repair the damage was miraculously successful, Chris never was able to bend the last joint on his index finger of his left hand, thereby making bar chords and other techniques involving the index finger extremely difficult to play.
		Chris had, by now, gotten control of a drug habit and was finally "clean" after a tough battle.

		Chris Poland is a true AXEMASTER of the highest order and Chasing The Sun is highly recommended to fans of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Allan Holdsworth, Greg Howe, Shawn Lane and many other outstanding heavy guitarists.
		Chris Poland pushes the envelope for instrumental guitar music that excceds the norm and is parallel to none.
		Poland is severely talented, ripping it up like a cross between Scott Henderson/Ray Gomez/Jeff Beck and bits of John Goodsall sneak out as well.

	Hardrock Haven - Interview with Chris Poland former Megadeth Guitarist and Current OHM Frontman
		Chris: On that song, the intro, the little solo was in the same vein so that when we went to the outro I wanted it to be like a little coda, and have it fade out the way it did.
		Chris: The only way to describe it is smoking cigarettes times a billion every minute is an hour and every hour is a day, and every moment lingers for what seems like a thousand years.
		Chris: Well I was talking to my brother about a conversation that I had with my sister Cindy (when I bummed more money off her to get high) and he actually thought that she had told me that my parents knew about my addiction to heroin.

	Interview with Ohm--from Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Chris was playing in the next room and I was playing with a guy named Ricky Timas -- he wrote that song "Cool it Now" for Bobby Brown's band New Edition, he was just on the verge of breaking that song, and he always had producers...
		Chris and I spoke about maybe digging out a couple of those tunes that we might be able to do without offending Stuey, the remaining member, because we wrote songs together.
		Chris might have a line and we'll play it, and there might be a note or two that I might want to add or subtract, that he might want to add or subtract, depending on who comes up with the line.

		Poland is probably best known for his phenomenal guitar work with several major label bands including MEGADETH (Capitol Records) and his progressive metal band, DAMN THE MACHINE (A&M Records).
		Poland is the real deal and more when it comes to the guitar.
		Poland's track on Warmth in the Wilderness (the Jason Becker trib.) was my favorite song on the album, but I haven't heard anything else with him until now.

	Ohm - Live On KPFK 90.7 FM CD Review at Heavy Metal Portal www.1heavymetal.com
		The latest CD release from Chris Poland (Megadeth, Damn The Machine) and his band OHM is a triumph for musicians in more ways than one.
		Poland, Kofi Baker (drums, son of Ginger Baker) Robertino Pagliari (bass) recorded a live concert at the studios of public radio station KPFK in Los Angeles on 8/30/2003.
		Poland keeps enough rock guitar in the mix to keep the music away from being strictly a jazz fusion type of release.

	BLABBERMOUTH.NET - CHRIS POLAND Settles Lawsuit Against DAVE MUSTAINE
		Chris also allegedly tried to sue Dave for defamation of character because Dave called him a "thief," but Chris' attorney "dropped that after he found out that Chris had actually taken the band's gear and sold it for drugs," according to MEGADETH's webmaster.
		Dave said, "I still respect Chris very much as a player, and I donât want the fans to think badly of him," but it is obvious that this put a stake in the heart of their friendship.
		Chris might have less to do with the lawsuit than people are crediting him for.
