[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

No disrespect to James but thank god DAVID ELLEFSON is back in "MEGADETH"!!!!!!!!!

[8thtimeivedonethis]

download looks fuckin bat shit crazy I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!

[yzetta]

James Lomenzo is so nice. I just love him. Down to earth wonderful guy.

[thegrotesksuperstar]

@yzetta, I met him last week at the Brisbane Bass Clinic and we hung out after show, because he was in Australia doing solo performances to promote the new BB series Yamaha bass guitars. You're right. He was giving me advice with many things musically related.

[Hellyard]

You´re ought to like this guy :-)

Mighty Megadeth !!!

[Dagrwolfrokrokr9]

dude, he's from black label society

[Shakimetalmaniac]

he looks better with the beard :) seems like a reallly nice guy ..wow

[genocidejunkie101]

nah i fouund out at download this year that david ellefson is workin with tim "ripper" owens now

[cooldudefr]

both of megadeth's bass players are really nice

i have no idea what happened to ellefson cause i really liked him , i just though that he had died or something

[alexmaczkadrums]

Gar Samuelson (Deth's first "real" drummer) died in 1999, liver failure. Cliff Burton of Metallica, the first bassist, died too. 86 bus crash. David Ellefson is alive and well.

[MEGADETHTHRETH]

god lomenzo and ellefson were really sound bass players. their always laughing and joking and always in a good mood. Lomenzo reminds me of a hippie. }V{egadet}={

[emachines007]

shut up guys MEGADETH RULES!!!!!!!!

[megaluisdeth]

wrong that's what he said but the truth is that David couldn't join the band because he started his drug addiction again and Mustaine said "I can't have that in my band now that I'm silver"

[gloyal]

fucking rong yo get the the behind the music 2

[martyfriedman111]

junior = david ellefson

[SeanHart213]

i'm really sorry, i should know this but....

who is junior? (winces)

[SeanHart213]

nevermind i just realized that its David Ellefson. proceed with calling me an idiot!

[Mammathman]

Idiot lol

[SeanHart213]

thumbs up!

[shonstation]

bring back Junior

[Megaallica]

mustaine tryed to bing him back to record united abominations but junior hates him now

[xparty]

that was either The world Needs A Hero or The System has Failed. I'm pretty sure it was the last one, but not a 100%.

Dave didn't even bother asking junior on joining the band again, since he already knew what the answer was.

Thought you'd like to know ^_^

[Megaallica]

thought youd like to know that mustaine did ask ellefson to come back to play for megadeth

[xparty]

I thought you'd like to know that I mentioned that.

"Dave didn't even bother asking junior on joining the band again, since he already knew what the answer was."

Notice the "Dave didn't even bother asking junior on joining the band again" part. Notice the "again"? That's right. Junior refuse to come back for TSHF.

[Flames008]

he did ask him to rejoin

[xparty]

No shit captain obvious. Can't you read?

1.Megaallica stated that mustaine asked junior to come back for UA. I kindly corrected him, he made a simple mistake and mixed two dates up. All's cool.

2.I corrected him again, as he didn't read either. Dave didn't ask Junior to join for UA, cuz he wouldn't have. He didn't come back the first time, Dave didn't bother the second time.

What I said is what I meant. It's up to you to read it right.

[Flames008]

ok dumb fuck learn megadeth dave said himself that after his arm was healed and he could play again he asked dave Ellefson to rejoin ok got that and don't say i'm wrong he said so in an interview

[xparty]

What in the hell do you think I said? Never said you were wrong, I said that you stated what was already stated, by me. Learn to fucking read, because you made a total idiot of yourself... twice.

1.I said what you just said, you couldn't comprehend it.

2.You thought I called you wrong. Well, I called you illiterate the first time, because you failed to fucking understand.

Get your shit together boy.

[Flames008]

"Dave didn't even bother asking junior on joining the band again, since he already knew what the answer was." thats what you said ok it's wrong cause he did ask so you get your shit together

[xparty]

For the idiots.Shit in square brackets is the explanation to the point stated.Shit in capitals is the shit you didn't fucking read.

"Dave didnt even bother asking junior on joining the band AGAIN[he asked him to join after the lawsuit shit],since he ALREADY KNEW[he didnt ask him to join for UA again,because Junior rejected the offer once before]what the answer was"

My apologies you took it out of context.Wait, do you even know what context is?Do you know what context it was in? No. Fuck off.

[Flames008]

yes but Junior said that after the law suite was over that him and dave started talking again and that if he was asked A SECOND time he would say yes you were wrong again

[megafan898]

ok you are so wrong if you would know Junior said that if he was asked again he would say yes your wrong cause your saying that he would say no but that is incorrect and your a fucking stupid just keep proving yourself wrong fag

[megafan898]

dude shut the fuck ok Flames008 was right you were wrong your stupid stop trying to prove your not cuz nobody gives a shit ok SHUT THE FUCK UP

[xparty]

Originally, this conversation was about United Abominations... For the genii, Dave didn't ask David to join for.. DUN DUN DUN... UNITED ABOMINATIONS.

First off, know what context it is in, before you try to act smart. Read over the very FIRST comment I responded to. It clearly says "United Abominations" in plain English. Fucking tool.

Flames couldn't fucking comprehend that shit, and he started this argument, you didnt even bother reading, and begin talking shit here. Fuck off.

Tool

[Flames008]

oh my god i am laughing you are so stupid he didn't ask him to rejoin United abominations because he sued him and they were fighting the first thing you said was he didn't bother asking him to rejoin never mentioned United abominations so like the others i thought you said he never asked him to rejoin so next time you want to act like a smart ass think cause your fucking stupid

[megafan898]

holy shit how many people do you need to tell you to shut the fuck up Flames was right every one else was right you were wrong your just a gay nerd who can't shut his mouth so shut the fuck up u stupid fucking cunt has no life YOU WERE WRONG fuck u go to hell

[kingfullmetal]

@Flames008 Ellefson is back :D

[Josho1993]

Strange... I read that Eleffson has said, 'If Dave Mustaine phoned me up right now to re-join Megadeth, I'd accept'

Or something along those lines.

[jordanvanderwerf]

duuuuuuuuude holy shit

so download festival IS monsters of rock... well thats good to know,

ps holy shit james looks like my dad

[kazstardust2007]

megadeth were amazing they should have headlined

[nimbus542]

i hear mastodon in the backround

[facetheslayer]

He's an awesome bassist. More than a worthy replacement for David.

[Joselrs5]

James LoMenzo is a god!!!!!!

[aryinc]

im curious about dave,s solo album he has to do it once and poor his hart out,i think he can be better then that he shows he can play many more styles then just pentatonic which sometimes is awfully irritating like in burnt ice OMyfukcing god the ending solo is awfull and just a fill.

[purelh]

yeh right that song fuckin rules

[metalupyourasz]

no way! burnt ice is a great song and im a devout megadeth fan, every album i love. burnt ice fits PERFECT

[Aldoliquidillusion]

Did a great job in UAbominations!!!!

[crimebusterofthesea]

JLo is the coolest guy ever

[stinktank]

sure "Dave, Jr" was intrigal in not only sound but heart, but lets face it, Megadeth is Mustaine's baby and Ellefson was more its uncle then its daddy. The beast continues to rage on and sound great. My hats off to James and to the Dover bros for filling in some mighty big shoes with class, style and confidence. And to the supreme commander Mustaine, glad to have you back bro!

[metalupyourasz]

i agree with you, dave couldnt of picked anyone better for the spot. junior is gone and everyone realizes it, the fact someone gave u neg rep is close minded and stupid. junior will probaly not come back for a long time, if ever.

[CraigRattleHead]

Yeah Megadeth should have headlined, organizers were very impressed at the amount off Megadeth fans on fri. They had the biggest crowd. But ya know Metal fans go to this fest because of the history of Monsters Of Rock that stated at Donington, and its lame that pop emo bands headline.

[metalupyourasz]

who the fuck is giving neg comments!!! emo fucking sucks ass and they shouldnt be headling over MEGADETH GOD DAMNIT!

[Alchohollica]

I think James is a great new asset to the band and fits in perfectly but David Ellefson kickd ass back in the day obviously, but anyway megadeth was totally the best band at Download this yr, i was in the big circle pit for Mechanix! the atmosphere for Megadeth was fuckin amazin i lovd every second of it but they shoulda headlined friday night, anyone else agree? MEGADETH!!!!!

[stefmeister]

I love james, he rocks!

[allanhit]

Pardon me :D...even though he is a great bassist and a cool guy and all that,I still cant accept anyone on bass in megadeth but David Ellefson... Am I the only one who feals this way?

[Kyusssuperman]

Yes you are.

[Ramerez491]

yep u are tbh i couldnt see david ellefson playing all these new songs it suits james lomenzo and to be fair i think he is a better bassist he switches between styles so much in songs and no matter what style he plays his fucking incredible dave ellefson can only actually play 1 style but he is good at it

[allanhit]

Ye I know But he is David Ellefson, Megadeth has always been him and dave, he was the bass sound behind the genious of megadeth, and for me he still is. For me its almost religious, pardon me if I offend anyone with this, it would be like getting rid of jesus or muhammed and saying wee´ll he is gone but here is this guy, he cool too...

[Orcrist666]

I saw Megadeth just yesterday, in Dublin, and I got James bass pick! He was really good! Played really well and also got the crowd really excited! Cool guy!

[HANSEN652]

Yeah! James is really great guy. He fits Megadeth perfectly!

[NoStandart]

n1 new bass:P

[guitarpunk8]

Did Megadeth play Holy Wars???

[MEGALUKE]

yes they did and half way though they stoped and when't straght in to mechanix then pick up from where they left off on holy wars it was the best show i have ever seen and and best of download!

[MEGALUKE]

I have just got in from download i was right at the front singing with james and dave both looking at me it was fucking amazing best band there no joke iron maiden where 2nd best but chirst the crowd never moved like they did when megadeth play fucking amazing show!

[rifanasa]

hey.... JLO!

Megadeth! the best of the world

[xxxeu0xxx]

I love James. =)

[stemean]

[LanciaTurbo]
