DAVID ELLEFSON Talks Favourite MEGADETH Bass Riffs - "'Go To Hell'... I Love That; I Play It In The Jam Room All The Time"
October 21, 2018, 6 years ago
Denmark's Metal A Day recently spoke with Megadeth bassist David Ellefson about the evolution of the band, on cleaning up and getting sober, the bass riff he's most proud of, and more.
Ellefson: "I always liked 'Dawn Patrol', just because it's something I came up with, but another one I like is 'Go To Hell'... I love that. I play it in the jam room all the time. There's other ones like 'Ashes In Your Mouth', '99 Ways To Die', even 'Angry Again'. The bass kind of just plays the guitar parts, but it's just a really cool movement, and then puts a nice kind of floor under it, just riding the part. Those are some of my favorites... and 'Five Magics' probably being my all-time favorite."
