MEGADETH - David Ellefson Featured In Holiday Issue Of Bass Player Magazine
October 23, 2010, 13 years ago
MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson is featured in the December 2010 issue of Bass Player Magazine:
"Quentin Tarantino couldn't have scripted and shot it any better. The roots of thrash metal bass begin with a deliberately-dropped flower pot crashing onto an air conditioner one floor below. The target is 18-year-old David Ellefson, in his Hollywood apartment just six days after moving from the midwest to pursue his plucking dreams. The antagonist is guitarist Dave Mustaine, newly banished from METALLICA and in no mood for Ellefson's practice rumble. The two meet, make nice, and go on to for Megadeth, one of thrash's Big 4 bands (flanked by Metallica, SLAYER, and ANTHRAX), racking up over 25 million albums sold to date."The holiday issue of Bass Player Magazine is on sale now.
