NME TV conducted a video interview with MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson after the band's June 16th performance at the Sonisphere Festival in Warsaw, Poland with METALLICA, SLAYER and ANTHRAX as part of the legendary Big Four on the bill. Check it out below.

Ellefson: "Usually that thing that we did last night [big dinner and get-together that took place on June 15, 2010 in Warsaw, featuring members of all four bands] ends up at the end of the tour, and you go, 'Ah, man, sorry we didn't get to spend more time together.' And then you're kind of reliving memories. And what was cool about last night, which was really a class way to do it, was we all got together — no instruments, nothing — and we basically we all sat around and talked about our families and our kids and what schools they go to — 'cause we've all talked about our music for years. So it was really just a great way to break bread and sit down. It was very relaxed, very comfortable."

The Big Four of thrash metal - Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax - played together for the first time in their history at the Sonisphere Festival last night (June 16th) at Bemowo Airport in Warsaw, Poland in front of 100,000 fans.
