MEGADETH'S ELLEFSON RETURNS, GETS READY FOR RUST IN PEACE 20TH ANNIVERSARY SHOWS

[337camo]

Hey man Megadeth isnt Megadeth without Ellefson! Fuck that noise!

[shadesbelow]

i wholeheartedly agree with Shawn Drover

[MotherPunker970]

can someone tell me why did ellefson leave the band in the first place?what did mustaine forgive him for?

[authorized11111]

as soon as i heard mustaine had forgiven ellefson i knew hed be back in the band

[wheredarknessislight]

Moostaine? The reporter is.... ><

[idontseeynot]

moos taine

[fattirevsbud]

creepy guy in the back is funnylol

[jbeligni]

"it was almost like marty was in the room" "almost" dude , still not marty

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

MEGADETH IS COMPLETE AGAIN WITH DAVID ELLEFSON'S RETURN!!!!!!!

[Ramzzy666]

several?? she means 4 years :S

[soleshifter]

** MEGADETH 4 LIFE **

[PATCHESxxSKA]

why the FUCK would someone dislike this?!?!

[Bloodbane94]

@PATCHESxxSKA Metallica fanboy LAWL

[ivegotabfmv]

0:43 reading fail

[metalwarrior1990]

Is it just me, or does Nick look like Bobby Blitz Ellsworth in the picture at 0:14

[badboybob1074]

Now if only he could bring back Jimmy DeGrasso on the drums, it'd be perfect. I hate Shawn Drover on the drums.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

@badboybob1074 WRONG!!!!!!!

[badboybob1074]

@MrMegaFredzeppelin If you liked the 1999-2004 lineup (Mustaine, Friedman/Pitrelli, Ellefson, and DeGrasso) you wouldn't be calling me "wrong". No offense to Shawn Drover but he sounds like a novice compared to Jimmy DeGrasso.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

@badboybob1074 WELL LET'S JUST SAY DEGRASSO AND DROVER ARE BOTH AWESOME WITH"DIFFERENT STYLES" AND I"M PLEASED TO KNOW YOU ARE A MEGADETH FAN AND ACTUALLY ALL THEIR MUSIC KICKS ASS, ROCK ON DUDE!!!!!!!!

[mrpunkrocked]

@badboybob1074 Both of them sound novice compared with gar samulson and nick menza

[mrpunkrocked]

@badboybob1074 Both sound novice compared with nike menza and gar samuelson.

[mrpunkrocked]

@badboybob1074 I hate them both

[JDanK45]

angry again sounds sick as fuck live!!

[Rhythmeister]

As lnog as they get the FUCK back to Ireland then I'llbe happy!

[EstebanPeralta]

it's CELEBRATION not Collaboration..... BITCH!!!

[31halloweens]

Yeah I thought I might have heard something like that but I wasn't sure.But Megadeth will kick ass and live on until Dave Mustaine himself sinks the band-other than that he'll just keep finding kick ass musicians to fill in the voids.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

With David Ellefsons return now MEGADETH is once again COMPLETE, just my opinion.

[metalmessiahmetal]

poland!

[38decembers]

Hey everyone knows that the only constant in Megadeth is change man.You know that going into Megadeth-you might make it a show,an album or a tour.Personally I like the fact that Dave Ellefson is back,and yeah that does suck for LoMenzo but that's life and he'll be in a kick ass band in no time.Now as far as Marty vs Chris-I would love to see Marty come back but that will NEVER happen!!There would be a better chance for Nick to come back before Marty-and Chris kicks ass anyway's so that's that..

[mickrivettetv]

@38decembers was back for a short time pror to shawn and had to leave again. The statement was that he's unable to play in megadeth style anymore. never heard the whole story but i believe he has some healths issues that keep him from being able to handling touring. I love the new line up but I personally would prefer a drummer like gene hoglan in the band to add more of a aggressive drum style again!

[CameronWasmund]

I'm pissed i missed the spokane show.

[dozerx8]

thumbs down asshat marty friedman isnt better than broderick? marty friedman that rocked out that album in the mid 80's? where was broderick at that time?

[overthewalltv]

@dozerx8 Marty friedman wasn't on any megdeth albums in the 80s lol Rust In Peace was in the 90s. I just wish Marty had still liked metal this whole time.

[truthIsStranger]

@overthewalltv

lol yeah he wants to 'paint with yellow and blue and magenta, not just gun metal gray' :-P

[nikitas007metal]

Its nice seeing David Ellefson back BUT imagine being in LoMenzo's position :(

[x0ne5h0tx]

Saw them yesterday in baltimore, it was so crazy.

[wrestlingfan2254]

@x0ne5h0tx so did i, and yes it was an amazing show

[717mienbao]

funny how the chick presenter pronounces the word "celebration" as "collaboration"....I'm betting Ellefson meant the word celebration.

[munruthel1]

@717mienbao man I was just about to post that till I saw your comment xD

[bengativo6]

how about bringin  chris poland back?or marty!!!nick ?

[metalwarrior1990]

@bengativo6 That is NOT happening. Get over it

[iScreamAimandFire]

Celebration not COLLABORATION!

[PEDROCLASSIC]

so far so good ...so what?

[worldofurin]

@PEDROCLASSIC i think peace sells tour is more realistic

[PEDROCLASSIC]

@worldofurin yeah. that was the line up with GAR SAMUELSON in it ( RIP) CASSETTE TAPE ROCKS!!!

[worldofurin]

@PEDROCLASSIC prefer the 12" vinyl

rip gar

[metaldrums96]

at 1.03 the guy behind mustaine in the red shirt looks a lot like lars ulrich!!

[PEDROCLASSIC]

@metaldrums96 C'mon man. that is lars ulrich! he's been asking dave secretly since the AND JUSTICE FOR ALL era to see if he can be his drummer. sarcastic!

[theYTPmaster1]

YES!!!!!!!! Dave is coming back!!!!!!! YES YES YES YES!!!!!! Ellefson is one of the best bass players of metal

[DanSkaMetal813]

collaboration? celebration

[RustedPieces1]

I saw the rust in piece tour in minnesota, and i feel bad for anyone who didnt go cuz it was insane

[ColtinNotChicken]

@RustedPieces1 I'm going to see them in Milwaukee on October 16th!

[MrTallica4lifegbrtdy]

I wonder how long it will be before Mustaine kicks him out.

[furby714]

These guys should run for The Rock Hall of Fame

[TheGuitarslayer2]

@furby714 fuck the rock n roll hall of fame alot bands should!

[greatxssassin1]

i think dave ellefson was only mad becuz there was only room for one dave

[SatyrX09]

lol..i keep imagining Shawn saying..

(While Dave talks about Chris reminds him of Marty)

Shawn: Hey, what about me? don't I sound like Nick?!?Asshole!

lol

[saqib09]

Now bring Marty back.

[giglfoosm]

@saqib09 why, broderick is so much better, although marty does write better stuff

[995sunglasses]

we want the original players back!

[MajorImpact]

@995sunglasses

Good luck with that - the drummer died 11 years ago.

[cm13thrash]

band sells out and can still make good music, then who fucking cares, Metallica and Megadeth are both wonderful bands

who gives a shit what they do, as long as the music is still good, thats ok by me.

[munruthel1]

hopefully with ellefson back in the band the next album won't sound so shitty and they won't throw a thousand solos in every song

[imlazy1231]

yes i knew he came back

[AlextheChamp25]

i dont get it, y is it a reunion? is marty playing with them again or wat?

[2shae1980]

@AlextheChamp25 no please! Chris is the best guitar player to ever enter Megadeth, he might not be a good song writter but nobody plays better than him he looks like a machine!

[Suidakkra]

Dave is and always will be a pompous, arrogant, cocky asshole...But man he is great, one of the greatest guitarist in metal history... got to take the good with the bad i guess lol.

[jerm26554]

Ok cocky dave, our peers can't do it but we can? Chill Dave, there are bands out there still pumping it, don't get to whale headed, red head buddy lol. Funny James Lomenzo from Whie Lion played with Megadeth, how odd. He did kick ass though.:d...Btw go back and check out still reigning from 2006, still kicked major ass. Probably BETTER than the original recording.:)

[Ultraspontane]

Megadeth are 10x the sellouts of Metallica. Risk and cryptic writings anyone?

Hell just go to each bands website. Megadeth.com is just filled with shit that Dave Mustaine is whoring his name out for. He even has "Dave Mustaine" coffee...

[afuckinletterbomb]

@Ultraspontane that shit wasnt selling out.

that was trying to appeal to more of a larger audience. if you consider wanting more people to like your music as selling out, then your a fucking retard.

and that coffee taste fucking great.

[DethKlokateer]

@Ultraspontane

lol dont come to a megadeth video and comment about metallica.

i think but bands are great but endgame is far better than death magnectic

[brunobb1]

Metallica = Awesome before but they sold out (proof: Death Magnetic)

Megadeth - Awesome before and awesome now, they didn't sellout, in fact, they are as heavy (proof: Endgame)

[MattKondrath]

Fuckin best song by megadeth... angry again angry again angry again... and again and again again. Engaged in crime a grasp my throat erase my mind starts to smoke, enforce a mental overload angry again angry again angry. AAOOWWHHH.

[me128166]

they did it. they went back to RIP and made the best album ever: ENDGAME

[SilentRecord]

One of my, many, favorite songs. XD

[angels77100]

Even when Megadeth released shit they were still good. Took me ages to actually like Youthanasia, but I just couldn't stop playing it. Same can't be said about '

llica.

[Megadethmegadethfan1]

If metallica made reload and the stuff after that in the 80s and never made there first five good abulms would you like them then there luckey that they have those song still if they didnt write such great stuff in the beging they would have been forgotten about.

[angels77100]

@Megadethmegadethfan1 First Five good Albums? I only count the first three as decent to brilliant. Kill em' all = amazing. Ride the Lightning = superb. Master of Puppets = damn good. And Justice for all = shit. The Black/Snake album = I don't even wanna go there dude. 'llica should be sued and made to drop the metal from thier name.

[vincit30]

@ metalwarrior1990: very valid points. My favorite Megadeth lineup will always be Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman, and Menza though

[Megadethmegadethfan1]

I think kerry king is a better lead guitarist then chris broderick dont you agree with me

[Premdus]

@Megadethmegadethfan1

I like kerry but he is allway like "taraarararararar raaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaah" at his solos =) ...chris has better technique and he is good composer of solos =)

[inspiteofwhatever]

Keep Chris who can certainly write more than solos

[TruthFister8600]

FUUUUUCK YEAAAAH!!!!! I love David Ellefson's playing. It seemed so damn weird not having david ellefson.

[Chester1004]

Why do you all want Marty back?!

I agree that he was dbest guitarist Megadeth had and awesome songwriter, but his carrer has gone to shit nowadays with Japanese pop and he doesnt play Metal anymore.

Do you want Megadeth with Marty and make more albums like Risk or do you want Broderick and keep Megadeth oldschool like Endgame, Peace Sells and RIP.

[bukofezra]

Marty Friedman's solo's made that album a memorable one....his solo playing is unmistakable and memorable, i don't even remember a glen, drover, or brodnick solo my memory, but I recognize every single Marty Friedman solo, that guy was one bad motherfucker on lead guitar.

[jnorrisish]

megadeth is what metallica should have become! hetfield hates their sucess,and only dreams of what megadeth has accomplished!

[spankysteve43]

It sounds like she is saying Moostaine...lol

[JackBauerSnake]

What?Marty Doesent Like What?Oh MAN!

[abid8]

does anyone know if david is staying for good????

[joeysixtysix]

Bringing back Marty would be a step backward, Broderick is way better.

Besides Marty doesnt like metal.

[cuzvance]

@joeysixtysix yeah right...marty is hired ...rust in peace.is wrote...was the best metal album megadeth ever put out ...broderick who????

[UKLegendUK]

@cuzvance FYI, Marty didn't write any of it, he adapted solo's done by Chris Poland, the only influence Freidman had on that album was his own tone... Thats coming from a guy who's favourite guitarist is Marty, I love the guy but don't give him credit when it isn't due...

[cuzvance]

@UKLegendUK no you need to get ur facts straight.....poland had nothing to do with rust in peace...last album he was on was Peace Sells...then SO far SO good So what came out with jeff young on guitar...poland may have have some writing on that...on the rust in peace writing credits it only list dave..i promise you thoughs solos are mostly from marty...poland was years before..

[UKLegendUK]

@cuzvance I dont care what it credits, it was Poland who was on the demo's, he therefore added towards the demoing on the album, you can hear for yourself on the demos featured on the remastered version of the album.

[PEDROCLASSIC]

@UKLegendUK chris poland? holy cow. one of the ogs

[UKLegendUK]

@PEDROCLASSIC one of the ogs? I don't follow dude, sorry. :(

[PEDROCLASSIC]

@UKLegendUK I meant one of the originals from way back PEACE SELLS era and gar too

[UKLegendUK]

@PEDROCLASSIC Ooooohhhhh, yeah well, theres a problem with that, Gar died of liver cancer I think in 99, and Chris Poland has been re-invited a few times but turns it down to work with his own project OHM. It is a shame, because i'd love to hear stuff like that again :/

[TheSheogora]

@joeysixtysix yep Dave even admits that marty kept trying to slow it down, he's thet main reason why Risk sounds so different from megadeth, Dave wanted to go back to the band's roots and marty tried to slow it down more.

[TheJcbach1961]

@joeysixtysix  Yes Joe- I think more than a 100 steps backward. Marty is my old pen pal from Hawaii but he does not have a interest in being metal.

Dave is right he sure can as he and Chris proved and ruled in San Diego a week ago.

[FenderUsa]

@joeysixtysix lol broderick is not way better they are very different

[hahawzz]

@joeysixtysix dude its not about being better! its about chemistry! u know broderick should play more into a progressive stuff. . like nevermore he was perfect in nevermore. . i mean megadeth stuff is nothing to nevermore stuff! marty has been with megadeth for like a decade! its just i like the old lineup! marty. . elffson. . .nick menz. .and dave. . we got the perfect megadeth!

[Scarecrow545]

@joeysixtysix

Marty >>>>>>>>>>> Chris

[zerototalchaos]

@Scarecrow545 have u heard chris' "betcha can't play this"? compare it with the 3 marty friedman's and you'll see he beats friedman hard

[Scarecrow545]

@zerototalchaos

I meant in Megadeth. Tornado Of Souls is kicks the shit out of any solo on Endgame 100 times over. And 100 times again.

[MetallicaMadMan666]

@zerototalchaos Chris's solo on betcha can't play this actually isn't that hard to play, it took me a couple of days to get it near perfect whereas i'm still struggling to get martys solos on tornado of souls and hanger 18 near perfect and ive been tryin for about a month now

[codename116F]

@Scarecrow545 AGREED!!!

[ConorSomerz]

@joeysixtysix AND (no offence to him) he dresses like a fag now. I mean kneepads on stage, what the fuck man?

[Studas2006]

@joeysixtysix Friedman is a composer and genius whereas Broderick is a talented pretender. That's what I reckon.

[MetallicaMadMan666]

@Studas2006 I totally agree with you, i couldnt have put it better myself

[MetallicaMadMan666]

@joeysixtysix how the fck is chris better than marty, marty is one of the best guitarists in the world (steve vai and dimebag R.I.P being the best). His solos on rust in peace are miles ahead of chris's solos on endgame. Chris is a good guitarist he's defiently the best in megadeth since marty but to say that broderick is WAY better is the biggest load of bullshit ive heard since someone told me that lars ulrich is better than dave lombardo on drums..ohh i laughed so much that day

[UlvKriger]

@joeysixtysix Exactly, Risk wasn't Dave's fault lol it was a business decision he had to make to keep Marty lol

[paraglidermx]

@joeysixtysix Na...Brodrick plays like a machine,Marty was Mr.Feel.

Brody still kicks ass though and plays the Marty stuff closer than anybody did.

[mrpunkrocked]

@paraglidermx he is puppet of mustaine

[duanetersan]

Ain't no way i want nick & marty back in megadeth! nick's got to rid himself from his ego and marty's no more into metal! Why bother ... Great to have David back!

[immortaltts]

@duanetersan so because you dont think hes metal you think he shouldnt be back to play an album he himself wrote? i dont know if you know this but they wanted to write the music first then call it metal. Its a great album because its great music not because its metal.

[Godishs]

@immortaltts Its Fucking Metal man... and Mustaine wrote Rust In Peace, not Marty... If Marty doesnt want to came back Megadeth, no one can make him change his opinion.

[immortaltts]

@Godishs I agree with you mustaine did write it but you also have to see that marty made alot of the solos in that album that made it great. Thats why im saying they wrote music first

[giddyupLittleC4]

Wow! thats F8&Kin awesome thats will be a really great comeback for this band.. its good to see that Dave is bringing david back my hats off to you dave! Now its time to bring nick back we want menza back too ! ! !

[jbomb1995]

whats the song playing at the end

[ozph08]

@jbomb1995 angry again, from the mid ninetys, think it was off some soundtrack, maybe last action hero?

[rjmart79]

@jbomb1995 (Angry Again) off of the last action hero soundtrack and it is also on the hidden treasures album.

[d0r1705]

@jbomb1995 Angry Again

[23igna]

DAVE YOU ROCK!!

[hoang1428]

Dam James Lomenzo looked pissed off

[robytini]

Dave here looks like Mickey Rourke in "the Wrestrer"

[NIMHFS]

collaboration =/= celebration

[Megababe78]

hell yeah i was at the show in hollywood, they filmed it. they ruled. id kill to relive that night

[zhour1014]

1 down, 2 to go

[gabocrbll]

Hope they play rust in peace polaris...one of the best song on the album

[MetalOliver]

why is it Angry again playingin the background? (don't get me wrong it's a great song) but they're talking about the 20th anniversary of Rust In Peace, the researcher(s) for that bit are either unexperienced or idk, shouldve been tornado of souls, Hangar 18 or Holy wars seeing that theyve got footage from Rude Awakening.

Not bitchin, just giving my opinion as someone who studied television production.

[TrooperLinks]

@MetalOliver Well they had Holy wars playing in the first half or so of the video.

[MotorheadBishop]

it says "celebration" not "collaboration" dipshitty voiceover lady... not exactly doing much to change the "dumb metalheads" stereotype are we?

[puppet33r27]

now get marty and nick please!

[DreadlockDrummer]

YES! FRIEDMAN AND MENZA PLZ!

[trueshinchan]

@puppet33r27 More like bring back Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson (renanimated)

[butterknucklez]

@puppet33r27

he got nick back in like 2003 or something but got fired for the same reason he got fired before

[metalwarrior1990]

@puppet33r27 It's NOT going to happen. Accept it. This is the ultimate lineup

[DLI848]

So was Lomenzo asked to leave or what?

[007Mechanix]

@DLI848

I don't think so. From what I know is that Dave said Lomenzo was planning to leave. So that is when Shawn called Ellefson. And now we have this kickass line up.

[DLI848]

Yeah. I'm so stoked for this lineup. I wish David would use an active bass though for more crunch.

[6dragonslayer6]

he quit

[Apemopo]

what's the song at the end?

[26Streets]

The song is Angry Again.

[slaughtered777]

'collaboration' of music?! lol dumb bitch cant read properly...

[Usercool]

Chris is great but he ain't no Friedman.

[west7productions]

It may be hard to believe but Broderick and Drover both surpass Friedman in skill, though he did happen to be an excellent guitarist.

[hobodoctor]

I haven't listened to much of Drover's stuff, but I'll grant you Broderick. Still, I've never heard anything written by Broderick, Megadeth or prior, that came close to the level of Marty's writing.

[west7productions]

You do realize that even the music people give him the most credit for was primarily written by Mustaine? Even the solos? Yeah, check Drover out on "That One Night" bro, its amazing. He is actually the guy wo "retrained" Mustaine a few years back. Broderich is pretty amazing too. I'll be eager to see him live to make the comparison. Hope you get to catch them with Ellie back!

[hobodoctor]

I know what Friedman wrote and what he didn't. I've also owned That One Night for years and I just don't like Drover's style or sound. I didn't like any of his solos on the CD's either. It's actually kind of the same with Broderick. I'm not a fan of his guitar sound, espcially in the context of Megadeth, but at least he can play all the solos the way they're meant to be played, so I'm not complaining. Marty's solos on Rust in Peace are amazing.

I'm drivng 8 hours to see them in LA, lol.

[west7productions]

@hobodoctor ill be there.

[Rattlehead1818]

Holy crap I have never seen Elleffson with a mustache, doesnt look to bad on him

[TribalWar]

Anyone know where the live footage at end is from?

[BMWRocker]

Rude Awakening

[19VanHalen84]

return of "bastist"?

[doubleshot87]

Freakin rock on dave!!!  You're one smart bad ass!!!

[assasin0087]

Seeing them in Baltimore on March 16. can't wait!

[BrutalDon0Bg]

Can't wait to see the Big Four in June.

[RyanFuckinKilpatrick]

Scranton, Pa, March 18th.

Fuck yeahhhhhhh !!!!

MEGA-FUCKING-DETHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

[idontseeynot]

daves such a fuckin asshole. i love it!

[doubleshot87]

You're a fuckin idiot I've met Dave and he's awesome!!!

[idontseeynot]

haha nah i know that. im referring to how he never fails to say something like, "well, they can't do it anymore,but i can, and im gonna fuckin rock better than them and they can kiss my ass" he couldve just said "im proud our band is still capable of performing at this level and its a testement to this kind of music" but he didnt. trust me, i love him for his bluntness. no bullshit statements make me a happy guy

[jonesey5168]

wish they would come to the Bay Area!!

[onpsxmember]

celebration = collaboration?

is it so hard to read?

[clopton108]

March 25, 2010 in Houston, Texas! It will be EPIC.

[MarkyMarkMarkoni]

ja sam u 2002 godine osetio poremecaj srca, ali nisam znao zasto, ali to je bilo zbog distribucije u kolektivnom nesvenom zato sto je dave elf otisao iz benda, ali sad kad se vratio, meni je mnogo znatno bolje i osecam da ce stvari u svetu mnogo bolje da funkcionisu zato sto se dave vratio u bend, znaci nece vise biti haitija, cileu...

[MEGADETHTHRETH]

haha we know what daves on about when he says a lot of our peers cant do it anymore, Metallica.

[jonesey5168]

Hetfield could keep up but thats about it...IMO

[doubleshot87]

Hetfield can't even near compare, he's a fuckin talenless theif
