MEGADETH LINE-UP
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.
NO SHIT! Bring back Marty!
