Megadeth Former Bassist, David Ellefson - X5 Podcast #82

[@raymondroutley2761]

In 1986, Dave said, and I have never forgotten: "I'm in this buisness for the same reason Megadeth is in this business, and that's because of attitude, integrity, and music."

[@Krypt.489]

In my darkest hour 🤘

1988

[@joevallejosguitar]

I just got off tour with Kings of Thrash as their opening band and they were a blast to be with. I've known them for years and it was just the greatest pleasure to hang with them night after night.

[@fifthchild8265]

What's the name of ur band Bruh

[@leonshreds]

Awesome! Got to meet ellefson and chat with him few times, real chill guy and easy to talk to

[@Lic_lopez69]

BRO HOW??? I SWEAR U ARE SO LUCKY

[@leonshreds]

i agree with ellefson on risk, i love that album, same with th1rt33n funny how he owns the heroin part, i had him sign a peace sells photo and he laughed and mentioned how high he was in the photo man thats some real dedication from the guy who did rust in peace and had all the tapes hung up got it done in a week really cool to hear how public enemy no1 came together, i love that song really cool to hear all of the megadeth lore from ellefson when he talked about the protestants and catholics in ireland it made me think of how holy wars was made and then ellefson mentioned it i guess i really know my megadeth lore cool to hear ellefson likes nirvana, i guess thats another guilty pleasure of his lol also cool to hear about what happened when grunge took off and limp bizkit came in cool to hear the story of how ellefson moved to hollywood to link up with mustaine and start megadeth, i knew about the initial story of the cigarettes and beer but cool to hear the inside stuff from ellefson, i also heard from ellefson the first song he heard mustaine play was devils island

Megadeth isn’t the same without Dave’s bass. Still great, but Dave brought that extra magic to the sound.

[@Jayhawk9]

I can’t stand grunge music at all. When megadeth came out with youthanasia I absolutely loved it. I still jam to that album all that time. Damn that’s such an underrated album. There is 12 tracks on that album and everyone of them are seriously great tunes. I like when bands can be on the heavy side but remember to have melodies within the songs and megadeth did that on youthanasia. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@Marty-Me3]

I agree. Love the solos on that album. Victory for example.

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

My fave album too :)

[@justinerb3669]

Totally agree. That was the first one I bought new when it came out. Love that record!

[@shawnc318]

Great show interview I am subscribing!

[@ctmusic1]

I love how with this group of guys, Dave's Southern accent and vernacular kinda surfaces.

[@TheBamaman88]

As a music lover but not a musician loved listening to David talk about the intricacies of the business. David Ellefson not Lynam.

[@chicodrums8420]

Rock On !!! I made it on the Pod !! Loveing it, guys !

[@mitchclemmons1627]

Never been a Megadeth fan but this was a cool ass interview. Keep up the great work fellas.

[@shawnc318]

Yup

[@gwyn8372]

Ellefson is such a fantastic bassist

[@Rob78169]

Great stuff. Dave Ellefson is the man🤘

[@cbr9914]

i was not expecting this to be so good. very cool.

[@OnTheGoWithFlo-Kid22]

You guys have the best shows! Loved hearing his wonderful stories!

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

As much as I love Peace Sells and Rust in Peace, Cryptic Writings is also a great album. It's a rock album, not thrash, but the songs are extremely well written.

[@kamdomeier9176]

Went out to eat with Dave and my dad when I was younger in his hometown where I live close to. Nice guy

[@mariluzhernandez21]

David E. Love You❤

[@MYARMYOFNONE]

Sure, Baloff would have called you a poser, but then again he called everyone that! There was a lot of closeted listening to Nirvana in our circle, believe it.

[@skinnyl1zard836]

Very cool show. I will be checking out more 🤘😎.

[@henrybowman7637]

I highly fucking doubt anyone who is any kind of fan..Would fucking spell it wrong!

[@PeterJohnson76]

Love you Dave.. Saw you in Adelaide recently.

[@jackshittle]

I own both Modulus & Zon's - best basses ever.

[@joc77723]

Rock On!!!

[@thrashpuppy2010]

Risk fan too.

[@gasmaskestore8018]

Wtf is that intro music?

[@cffk6204]

He’s so cute❤

[@jacka55penguin]

The Cars were versatile with Rick O and Orr. U2 has the advantage of also being a modern band and have a much larger catalog. Aside from Lemon, I'd rather listen to the Cars.

[@misterarcane3863]

Lock up your daughters webcam ...its Ellefson.

[@richardayala3748]

Legal age.

[@jess.16]

She was of legal age, and a lot of us don't mind, really.

[@Bugsy666]

Yep! Better make sure your adult daughter doesn't get up to no funny business with someone else's adult son!

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

did he mean it should have been illegal to admit to liking B leaguers like Nirvana.....

[@combyjames]

I can guess your (old age) just by your comment..

[@Jclements45]

Apples and Hand Grenades pal...

[@garryaldridge7325]

As an metalhead vorn in 75' I live nirvana,incesticide and Bleach are pure Bangers.the last real "Punk" Band

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

@@garryaldridge7325 are you apologizing? I assume that is the intent of your comment. No one who loves metal loves Nirvana..that's just ridiculous

[@garryaldridge7325]

@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle why not?kurt was a Big Metal Fan.I came from the Punk Szene and Thrash Metal,and no one had a Problem with Nirvana.Bleach was an Amazing Record

[@phillipweber6059]

I'm noticing he isn't wearing a wedding band. Did the scandal lead to a divorce? I'm 10 minutes into the video before you chastise me...
