May 12, 2011, 13 years ago
MEGADETH's David Ellefson shares how his thrash metal tone was born, takes us through the specs of his new signature Jackson bass, and recalls how a Jackson Concert Bass inspired the lick for 'Hook And Mouth'. Check out the footage below:
Megadeth are recording their as-yet-untitled new album with producer Johnny Karkazis (MACHINE HEAD, DISTURBED) at Vic's Garage, the band's studio in San Marcos, CA. The album is slated for a fall 2011 release through Roadrunner Records, with drum tracking having begun this week.
In the video below, bassist David Ellefson and drummer Shawn Drover check in from the studio:
As previously reported, Johnny K replaces Andy Sneap behind the board for the new album. Sneap was forced to pull out due to scheduling conflicts.
More details will be revealed soon.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has launched a new project called RED LAMB with former ANTHRAX guitarist Dan Spitz, ACCEPT bassist Peter Baltes and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN drummer Patrick Johansson. Most of the music will be taken from Spitz's aborted DEUXMONKEY project with ex-CRIMSON GLORY frontman Wade Black, which fell apart when Black quit back in April due to creative differences.
Johnny K is also on board to produce the album.
