I've been inspired to take music seriously because of megadeth. Seeing how things are between members is a shame but a harsh reality to the business to be apart of for a multitude of reasons. Many of which I discovered on my own moving out west and finding certain musicians at one point in time which unfortunately fell apart due to selfish perceptions of members within the band and my own weight of having to carry the band while being extremely unstable (I was 22) Listening to Dave's words is almost like hearing a familiar friend, one of which I wish i had in my life during those times. I'm so glad he's still alive , it's harsh watching your heros grow old and be drifted apart. Even so , to those who have passed gar , cliff , menza... it would've been nice to hear what they would've had to say or even just any words to the fans. Music is a harsh industry , but I still say without the challenges there isn't a way to overcome or grow.

The truth is Ellefson is replaceable. He isn't some beast of a bass player that can't be replicated. However, many fans, myself included, prefer Ellefson because he is an original member. Nostalgia, basically. Megadeth has, and always will be, solely Dave Mustaine with hired guns. Mustaine has not been shy about stating that fact. The only irreplaceable element in Megadeth is Mustaine's voice. Without that, it would not be Megadeth. Love or hate it, his vocal style is so unique that anything else wouldn't work.

Oh We know, but those aren’t nearly enough to condemn him, or rather, not anymore because: A: Who hasn’t had some sort of perversion they indulged in in their private life, his being made public out of spite. B: He isn’t close to being a pedophile, much less a far gone sexual deviant because he’s not going after pre-pubescent children, or teens below legal age. The girl was a consenting adult, who started the sexual interaction after developing a friendship with him; so it wasn’t as if He was going around trying to pick out younger girls among his fans. C: Cheating is certainly something to criticize, but in his case, not one criminalize him on. After all, they only exchanged nudes. And in spite of all this, the wife, who is more deserving to judge, is still with him and presumably has forgiven him. In the end, Ellefson is someone who’s private life is not so uncommon nor something that could be condemned for (he’s not actively ruining lives, that’s for sure). He is every bit as human with mistakes as any of us that can be learned from (and he certainly has). Most of all, we have much respect for him as a musician and his massive contributions to a great band that brought joy to many; as a plus, also seems to be a decent human being and likeable person all things considered. I understand the sentiments and feelings about his actions, but yeah.

The rest of the hired gun guys are all great players and Broderick might actually be more technically and mechanically the best players out of the bunch, but I didn’t care for him in Megadeth. Kiko in my opinion is the best man for the job since Marty don’t want to do it anymore and also Kiko is a great ambassador with his vlogs. Drummers I’d say Menza/Dirk and Gar, but Dirk plays Gar’s stuff better than Nick .

I prefer Gar and Chris era, I think its amazing and noone has really been able to do it like they did it but like u say this lineup can get close. Menza did not do jsutice to gars drumming but Menza was offcourse a incredible drummer and wrote his own great stuff. but like u say Dirk is probly the guy whos playd Gars drums the best

The lineup with Kiko was the first time in years that I saw Mustaine satisfied with the band, *Ellefson screwed up.* Decades of members dealing with drugs and mental stability and when the Daves are finally in peace with themselves he did that. Mustaine was mad as heII, you're the one looking for excuses to cover for an idiot that doesn't understand how Internet security works in the 21st century.

I like the modern line up but nothing will ever touch Megadeth from 86 to 92. That is peak Megadeth regardless of members but of course like most Nick and Marty are my favourite.

why he thinks he is super important to the group? Mustaine wrote most (almost all) of the material, apart from Mustaine, those guitarist really bought the band to the next level, not Ellefson. I mean, if Ellefson wasn't there, Mustaine still could find other bass player without affecting the band sound.

Well maybe, David is really the best person that Dave could've ran into. I pretty nice guy that could play decent and help Dave and his shattered ego, and I'm sure David helped push some of those ideas out jnto great songs. It might not have happened without David's temperament, most might have left like Kerry King

History shows, band members changed often in Megadeth. If Ellefson was shit in any regard he would’ve been let go. He never was, until recently. Any flaws or mistakes of his aside, his years in the band are a testament to his importance.

Dave is a legend and a great guy, to me he has always been the backbone of megadeth. People make mistakes but it ain't right to parade some people's out in public view while others are kept in the dark smh. Glad he is doing well and still doing what he loves 😎👌👏

Megadeth was always a guitar band. Stop daydreaming this "Jason Newsted" situation babbling music clichés. On a personal level, Ellefson was important on Megadeth but he screwed up a lot too. Musically, even Mustaine knows their guitarists were priority.

Definitely not mate. It's a combination of filming under awful fluorescent lights, and Dave having a background blur filter on his Zoom. It's just our luck that our worst looking video has become our most popular.

U would think that Mustaine would, of all people, understand what its like to be kicked out of the band & the pain of being screwed over by your band-mates. In his words, "we were friends & then suddenly were not." I think Ellefson got really screwed over.
