MEGADETH lead guitarist Kiko Loureiro has issued via his official Facebook Page:

ATTENTION: STOLEN GUITAR!!

Hello everyone, unfortunately, I have bad news to share. While traveling to California last week for the Megadeth Bootcamp, my new Ibanez Guitars LACS KIKO guitar (serial number LA0283) was stolen from me. After arriving in Los Angeles, I was surprised to find that my bag was destroyed and completely empty when I received it from the international baggage claim conveyor belt. It was a large bag which was carrying my custom guitar in a hardcase and a Nord keyboard as well. Both were gone upon arrival. I was looking forward to making the Boot Camp the first official appearance of this guitar, to share for all in attendance, but unfortunately, this could not happen. I have filed a claim reporting the theft but have yet to get an explanation as to what happened, so I am now forced to take the matters into my own hands. Here are some pictures that I posted of the guitar when I first received it. If you have any info about the whereabouts of this guitar please send an email to me: stolenibanez@kikoloureiro.com or Megadeth Management : +1 (310) 450-7132

MEGADETH: ANGRA Guitarist KIKO LOUREIRO Joins Band

MEGADETH have announced via their official website that ANGRA guitarist KIKO LOUREIRO has officially joined the legendary thrash metallers.

Frontman Dave Mustaine stated: “I first met Kiko around 8 years ago for a cover shoot for Burrn! magazine. I had no idea who he was, other than the fact he was tremendously talented and that the staff from Burrn! held him in high regard. Since then I’ve come to see what a guitar virtuoso he is, and I’m deeply encouraged by his depth and talent. Very few Megadeth alumni have had the same feel and ability as Kiko. As Frank Sinatra says, “the best is yet to come!” -Dave Mustaine”

Back in November 2014, both drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick, announced that they had left the band.

Guitarist with Brazilian prog metallers ANGRA Rafael Bittencourt expressed his thoughts: “Angra fully supports the entry of Kiko Loureiro in Megadeth. Holy shit! My spine is still giving chills! Kiko in Megadeth! Wow! That pride! I know Kiko for many years and I know that he deserves more than anyone else this great opportunity. I always say that we have an relacão of brothers and, therefore, we wish you the best one for the Another. Kiko takes his career very seriously with talent. I would like to say that this is a great achievement for the national metal too. It is something that we should all celebrate as a stage epic that begins. It will be good for Angra and to all the bands of the scene, because it will attract attention and visibility for the talent of the Brazilian musicians in general.

With regard to the work in Angra. I believe that he will meet with the activities with which already committed and always will be part of our Family. I am sure that we will still do many things together, inside and outside of the road. Brother, good luck and success to you!’

Rafael Bittencourt”

Brazilian heavy metal guitarists Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA) and Kiko Loureiro (ANGRA) joined the UPTOWN BAND on stage last month during the Garanhuns Jazz Festival in Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brazil. You can watch professionally filmed video footage of their appearance below.

Kisser‘s solo debut, “Hubris I & II”, was nominated in the “Best Brazilian Rock Album” category at the 2010 Latin Grammys.

“Hubris I & II” was released in June 2009 via Holland’s Mascot Records. A two-disc set, the self-produced effort was recorded in part at A Voz do Brasil studio in São Paulo.

Kisser was honored with a commemorative brick with his name on it, placed in the wall in front of Liverpool, England’s legendary Cavern Pub, in a ceremony which took place on his 44th birthday, August 24, 2012. He is the first Brazilian artist to have his name eternalized in the Cavern wall that became famous when THE BEATLES made their first lunchtime appearance on Tuesday, February 9, 1961.

Kiko‘s latest solo album, “Sounds Of Innocence”, was released in Japan at the end of June 2012 and was made available in the rest of the world in July 2012. The CD features guest appearances by Virgil Donati (PLANET X, STEVE VAI, SOUL SIRKUS) on drums and Felipe Andreoli (ANGRA, ALMAH) on bass. One track also features LIVING COLOUR bassist Doug Wimbish. The effort was produced by Kiko Loureiro, mixed by Dennis Ward and mastered by Jürgen Lusky.
