DAVE MUSTAINE
ANNOUNCES RETURN OF FOUNDING BASSIST DAVID ELLEFSON
TO MEGADETH LINE-UP
Megadeth founder and frontman Dave Mustaine has announced the return of original bassist David Ellefson (1983-2002) to the iconic multi-platinum group. This reunion is appropriately timed to Megadeth’s upcoming historic month-long Rust In Peace 20th anniversary tour which launches March 1 in Spokane, WA. At these incredibly special shows, Megadeth will play their landmark, genre-defining 1990 album Rust In Peace in its entirety, in addition to other Megadeth favorites.
"This shows the power of brotherly love and forgiveness,” Mustaine says. “David Ellefson belongs in Megadeth. Next we are going to show you the power of getting your asses kicked...HARD!"
David Ellefson concurs: "This is a huge moment for all of us, band and fans alike. It is a great celebration of the music from one of the biggest landmark albums of our career."
Ellefson will join Mustaine and Megadeth band members Shawn Drover (drums) and Chris Broderick (guitar) on tour in support of the group’s current CD Endgame, which has received some of the highest critical accolades of the band’s career.
"We'd like to thank James LoMenzo for several years of loyal service on the bass, and wish him the very best," Mustaine adds.
amusing after all the shit Dave Mustaine has talked about Dave Ellefson over the years since his departure. Not a 'deth fan anymore, but that would definitely add clout to that RIP tour. Sucks for the bassist that got the boot.
"These are our lives, but did they ever even matter - are we worth remembering?" - "Tip The Scales" Rise Against

Mustaine can suck on my dick. If there's one musician in all of music who has a bigger ego, then I'd like to meet him.

Mustaine indeed has an astronomically large ego... but shit, I love me some Megadeth from time to time.

I agree with you Rick. However, I love Dave's huge ego.
