Jim Dalrymple at The Loop recently caught up with MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson. An excerpt from thearticle is available below:
Ellefson is probably the most down to earth person I’ve met over the years in the music business. I spent some time talking to him about his return to one of the greatest Metal bands ever.
“Not to understate how monumental this is, but Dave and I spent a lot of years in Megadeth and for that to end was huge,” Ellefson told The Loop. “For us to come together with the spirit of reconciliation and perform together and to mend fences — it touched a lot of music fans on a human spirit level.”I was one of the people that was surprised and excited by the news of Ellefson’s return to Megadeth. It was like the return of a family member — things are the way the should be now.
“Megadeth is genuine and that’s what people love about it,” said Ellefson. “They love the fire and spark that comes out of the music and there is a story behind that fire and spark.”Go to this location for the complete interview.
