April 30, 2009, 15 years ago
Rock Fist Reviews has issued an interview with bass legend David Ellefson (HAIL!, F5, ex-MEGADETH). The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Kris:
Q: Do you feel the need to prove yourself with F5 or do you feel as a member you’re a part of a fun or liberating chapter in your life?
A: "I think it’s the latter. One thing I’ve learned, especially moving on from all the former stuff, is none of these things last forever, and I think to some degree they shouldn’t. Bands are formed and created because of the people in them and at some point bands then control, dictate, and dominate the people that are in them and that’s a bad place to be. It’s not creative, it’s not inspiring, and you almost create a prison around yourself. F5, TEMPLE OF BRUTALITY, and the work I did with SOULFLY, these new bands that I’m always getting involved in - everyone of them is an opportunity. They’re kind of a blank palette, a canvas for me to recreate myself and create something new for what’s happening today and not always having to rely on what I did yesterday."
