ellefson was a founding member of megadeth, the bass player the mustaine refers to as being in the band before ellefson, was actually in a short lived band called the fallen angels right after leaving metallica. When that didnt quite work out, he met ellefson and his room mate greg handevidt and formed megadeth with drummer dijon carruthers. So ellefson technically is a megadeth founding member.
I would rather to talk with Dave about him as a guitar player, his technic, understanding of music couse there is a lot of just genius revelations in his playing, but when i watch his lessons, it seems he don't really knows how good he is.
I would love to talk to Dave someday. Not a "Oooh, I'm your biggest fan, you're the greatest singer/guitarist ever" etc, (which I think he hears all the time anyway) but just a normal and calm conversation. He seems like a 'true' guy, he's not afraid of sharing his opinions and stuff like that.

Dave is a piece of shit and yes you were kicked out and the reason they didnt' want a reunion tour was because THEY KICKED YOU OUT they left you ,, you didn't leave them so guessed used to eat. and just wondering "megadave" did it suck when they kicked you out the day before the record deal
What a freakin' LOSER we have here! You hate on and disrespect the great DAVE MUSTAINE, and you dare call yourself a "Metalhead"? You're a total disgrace, so go kill YOURself, pathetic poseur. :)
dave is the mest metal musician ever ..!! whatever he is rite now is all bcoz of his own hard work , struggle and dedication towards his music ...!! we all love you man ..!! lukin forward to more of ur great records ahead ..!! \m/
No offense to anyone, but I'm glad Dave got kicked out of Metallica. Metallica is my FAVORITE band, but if he didn't get kicked out of Metallica, Kirk wouldn't have joined, and dave wouldn't have gone and started my second favorite band MEGADETH!
ya thats what i thought guys in Metallica are bunch of pussies for firing him they should've partied harder instead of Butting
the talented guy like him out of the band and using his shit, they would've been 1,456,984 times better now and heavier thats why i hate Metallica and they suck to without Dave
hahaha good for you, i honestly dont like Metallica i've tried it but hasnt worked out due to alot of riff bein mouched off of Dave i hate MEtallica always will but i luv Megadeth my favorite band of all the time
Metallica would've have completely self destructed if Dave had stayed, then there would've been neither Metallica or Megadeth. Dave, Lars and James wouldn't have lasted more than 4 years longer in the same band together cuz there egos would've gotten in the way, James and Lars barely manage at times. The best thing that happened to metal, truly is Dave being fired from Metallica, in a personal opinion of course
i wonder how sick and tired dave is being asked the SAME question EVERY DAMN INTERVIEW

INTERESTING FACTOID:
The change in Dave's life he was referring to is the fact that he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and became a Christian.
