MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson has posted Episode 30 of his ongoing Rock Shop series on YouTube. He has issued the following update:

“Bass legend Rudy Sarzo and I got a chance to have a lengthy chat at NAMM 2010 where we signed autographs together and got caught up on our signature basses, as well as our individual styles and approach to playing the instrument. Enjoy!"

UltimateGuitar.com recently caught up with Ellefson to discuss his surprise return to the Megadeth fold. An excerpt from the in-depth interview is available below:

Q: When news that you and Dave (Mustaine) would reunite in Megadeth broke, obviously the fans went wild, and began talking. Some have discussed the possibility of a reformation of the 'Rust In Peace' lineup. What are your thoughts on that?

Ellefson: "There isn't, at least not right now. As a lot of fans probably know, Dave worked with Nick Menza on the reformation of that lineup in 2004 and it just didn't work. For whatever reason, Nick wasn't in the head space to come back and do it, and it just didn't work. I don't know if that opportunity will ever come around again. Musically, it may at some point. Marty left the group back in 2000 because he wanted to pursue other kinds of music, and I think he's happy doing what he's doing right now. My attitude is that, if anywhere on our travels around the world, if any former member wanted to come up and jam and play a song, especially in the spirit of what Dave and I have been able to accomplish with mending fences, I think that would be a fantastic thing. It would be really cool to see former members, even if they just came up and played one song just for old time's sake for the fans, and just began to make sure all fences are mended between members. I just think that that would be a fantastic thing, but that's just what I think. That would have to more importantly, I think, happen naturally because everybody wanted to do it, rather than forcing any type of a reunion."
