I don’t know if that’s true . Dave didn’t have to ask him to come back the last time they were split. But Megadeth has always been Mustaine’s . From other interviews I’ve heard it sounds like there was some friction going on there even before the incident that got Ellison fired.

Man, Mustaine really disappointed me with all this. If one of my brothers was a victim of revenge porn, I would stand by them and give the leakers the finger. From what I've read though, this wasn't really about that. Sounds like Mustaine was still salty about that lawsuit from the early 2000s. I don't know much about that, but I would've thought Mustaine could get past that by now. Maybe he's right to be pissed, don't know. Seeing brothers betray sucks though.
It wasn't just revenge porn though, Ellefson had a relationship with a girl other than his wife. I wouldn't defend revenge porn, but would you defend one of your brothers for having an extramarital affair?
@@reddoo8936 You don't remember the entire drama that went down with Mustaine cheating on his wife with Heather Keckler who was Miss Arizona and was always at his shows and help run the official website? Thats why Mustaine has had multiple divorce filings
I mean, Dave still carries a grudge against James and Lars for firing him from Metallica decades later…suing the man, that’s not going to just blow over easily either. Maybe Dave keeping grudges is for the best though, it’s given us some of the best music of all time as a result
My two cents, on how things should have gone down, I think Mustaine should have had JR sit out on this album and tour cycle just to let things blow over and bring him back on the next album once the dust has settled, JR is the only other person that can stake his claim as a founding member of Megadeth, and I he is the only true bassist of Megadeth in my opinion.
Orrrr... maybe he should've shown a little more loyalty than a lizard and found out what actually happened before screwing over the last friend he had.
Ellefson is such a nice guy, he still makes excuses for Mustaine, even now. Just say it man, Mustaine is a jerk and loses band members because of it, period. Make him own it and shame him, because he's more than guilty of it and he needs to be told in no uncertain terms, that he's still a baby and needs to grow up. And treat people better, ESPECIALLY the ones who have been with him through it all like Ellefson.
@@DarkLabProductions Totally agree! It was the unceremonious way they let him go, that hurt him. Mustaine gets why they let him go, he had a lot of problems, by his own admission and that's not his issue with it. He knew it was inevitable, with his behaviour at the time. It was "how" they did it, that didn't sit right with him. And I do tend to agree with him on that point, they could have been easier on him.
Gotta agree with Ellefson here. If she was underage, he absolutely should be in jail/ out of the band. But if she wasn't. That's just something that happened in his personal life, and it doesn't mean he can't be in the band
he's not that amazing at all.. dude can't really even play with fingers or slap and isn't very versatile bass player. he was great for megadeth and that's about it.
I love Megadeth, especially the lineup with Ellefson and Drover and Broderick and always Mustaine, but this reaction from Mustaine even though Ellefson messed up, is very classic Dave Mustaine. Never has such a successful band had so many members over the years. That’s Mustaine for ya. Still like him.
Always will be remembered for that world oxidation tour in 91 where Megadeth were at their peek Of being the best metal thrash band On earth ‘what a tour that was 🤘💀😝🤘
Based on the Douchey things Dave Mustaine has done over the years, Dave Ellefson has done no worse. By the way, have you guys seen Dave Mustaine’s new Glass house
Megadeth doesn't want to be known for jerking off for there fans. It would hurt the brand had Ellefson stayed. Besides, its Mustaines band. He writes the hits.
It would be awesome if he and Chris Poland would work together again and do a metal album, maybe even an instrumental one like Chris’ Return to Metalopolis Solo Album!
I love this response. This entire sad situation was brought about by our current state of cancel culture. He has a path for each of us in mind, and ultimately our direction is our choice. When things are meant to be, truly meant to be, He finds a way to interject. Y'all be blessed!
I was just listening to Killing is my business, and man, does the bass playing shine. That band would have never been quite what it was without the different members that greatly contributed. Mustain should recognize. I haven't been into them since the last few lineup reshuffle.
Still Kinda Pissed, I was born just weeks after Dave at Grossmont Hospital. I used to Hang out in the early days at Vic's Garage. Most upsetting to me is that Dave Continued to have the largest Revolving door for Band Members. And for me the Only thing that kept it Together was David Jr. I feel that its the biggest reason that Megadeth never got over the Hurdle. I pray David continues to stay healthy and free from Cancer. Blessings David Junior.
Dave is one of the most important bass players in thrash and a good piece of megadeth, he mentioned it has a career in rock but not an important career in metal.
@@deletedhero5579 Maybe he can get Lars & James to induct him...the loop will finally be closed...oh wait I thought that happened at the 2011 Metallica 30th anniversary celebration & the Big 4 tour
Iconic ,legendary ,unforgettable bass riffs and one of the best in metal history, and now the weak link in Megadeths lineup, not that Lomenzo is bad it's just everyone else in the band is so goddamn good and Dave made it another legendary lineup in Megadeths history ,that was #3
If it didnt happen i wouldn't have gotten to see Kings of Thrash in my home town up close and person with Dave E. Amazing show! So cool of all of the band to stay around after talk to people and take pictures. Got pictures with two of my metal hero's that night. And never say never to getting the team back together!!!
Dude...I've a mexican metalhead all my life, been listening to Megadeth since I was a young kid in the early 90's, seen them live many times: Dave Ellefson has always been a great, great guy and amazing underrated musician. He is NOT replaceable. I love Mustaine but we all know that David Ellefson has gone through Mustaine's hammer many times now, I hope he really reconsiders soon and come out with a great album.
I don't believe that in the slightest. I hate to be that guy, here... actually I don't, because I was the victim of what he was, and I didn't do anything wrong to anyone. Dave has to think about his brainchild, and how shit like sexual shenanigans accusations affect him, too. I am backing David Ellefson on this, though. Anything he did was online, and with someone he thought was overage. The fact that this little bitch lied about her age, and that nothing physically occurred, no underage nudies were sent, and even if they were, I am not interested in hearing how an underage girl sent a spread eagle shot to him, while telling him she was overage at the time can reflect badly on David, because he was lied to. She sent him a message stating she was overage, and I am not about to take her word over his. Logically, it makes more sense that she fooled him into thinking she was over the age, and when he went to break things off, either because she wasn't interested in meeting with him, or maybe even that the truth was known, she fires back at him in such a way that fucks his life up. I'm banking on the latter, and she can go fuck herself if that's the case. Preferably, with a knife. Dave, don't let this shit stand.
@@daveg4236 Dave mustaine wasn't actually a founding member of Metallica so it is different as Ellefson was a founding member of megadeth. But I think once Ellefson parted ways in 2002 and sued Dave mustaine he eventually came back under contract, so he could be fired any time
Mustaine could have easily " bucked the system" and had D.E's back. Megadeth fans would have been fine with it . Mustaine will spit you out in a heartbeat yet cry because it happened to him decades ago by Metallica.
The worst and most petty thing was replacing his bass parts on the new album. That is going beyond personal and affecting the art. It's almost on par with Lars turning down's Jason's bass on AJFA.
@@pauln6803 It will be something like that. There could be a clause in the contract that means he would get merchandising for any album he played on or something to that effect, and also as you say if he plays on a song he gets paid in the future..
He was looking for Young and Hot and it was a scary moment . So he had to wax his carrot. Then he new everything was fine . Unfortunately Dave was pissed because he wasn’t there before case there lives take different erections
Rule 1 There will be no pleasuring yourself at anytime on tour Rule 2 you will not speak unless Dave asks for your input Rule 3 no more than 2 mistakes per tour Rule 4 paychecks will only be issued upon completion of tour

I mean, Dave still carries a grudge against James and Lars for firing him from Metallica decades later…suing the man, that’s not going to just blow over easily either. Maybe Dave keeping grudges is for the best though, it’s given us some of the best music of all time as a result
I gotta hand it to him, he was a solid member
"hand"
"member"
I see what you're doing here
My two cents, on how things should have gone down, I think Mustaine should have had JR sit out on this album and tour cycle just to let things blow over and bring him back on the next album once the dust has settled, JR is the only other person that can stake his claim as a founding member of Megadeth, and I he is the only true bassist of Megadeth in my opinion.
Orrrr... maybe he should've shown a little more loyalty than a lizard and found out what actually happened before screwing over the last friend he had.
Ellefson is such a nice guy, he still makes excuses for Mustaine, even now. Just say it man, Mustaine is a jerk and loses band members because of it, period. Make him own it and shame him, because he's more than guilty of it and he needs to be told in no uncertain terms, that he's still a baby and needs to grow up. And treat people better, ESPECIALLY the ones who have been with him through it all like Ellefson.
Damn, cheatin' on woman and family = nice guy
I believe he has some kind of false hope that Mustaine will apologize and ask him back again.
Sexual abuse allegations?
Don't want to burn any bridges.
@@DarkLabProductions Totally agree! It was the unceremonious way they let him go, that hurt him. Mustaine gets why they let him go, he had a lot of problems, by his own admission and that's not his issue with it. He knew it was inevitable, with his behaviour at the time. It was "how" they did it, that didn't sit right with him. And I do tend to agree with him on that point, they could have been easier on him.
Gotta agree with Ellefson here. If she was underage, he absolutely should be in jail/ out of the band. But if she wasn't. That's just something that happened in his personal life, and it doesn't mean he can't be in the band
Paul Walker liked them 16. At 33, he was well past the 1st F&F, and he had himself a teenager.
Ellefson is a great man, much respect between Both Dave's
One of the Greatest Metal Bass Players of All Time 🤘🤘

Dave E is a amazing bass player id like to see him back!!
Megadeth doesn't want to be known for jerking off for there fans. It would hurt the brand had Ellefson stayed.
He's really not lmao
he's not that amazing at all.. dude can't really even play with fingers or slap and isn't very versatile bass player. he was great for megadeth and that's about it.
@@_Only_Zuul wow i did nt kno you knew him
@@robertbricker2036you don’t have to know him personally to hear him play bass
I'm sorry for everything that happened too. Friends Forever. Thanks David Megadeth is a very important part of my life.
Thx for the support! Please subscribe to my channel, would really mean a lot!
I love Megadeth, especially the lineup with Ellefson and Drover and Broderick and always Mustaine, but this reaction from Mustaine even though Ellefson messed up, is very classic Dave Mustaine. Never has such a successful band had so many members over the years. That’s Mustaine for ya. Still like him.
Make sure to like and subscribe, would mean a lot to me thanks!
Dave will always be my#1 megadeth bass player
Yup! Please subscribe to my channel! It really helps me out thanks!
Nobody's perfect, but Dave Ellefson has always been a class act.
Always will be remembered for that world oxidation tour in 91 where Megadeth were at their peek Of being the best metal thrash band On earth ‘what a tour that was 🤘💀😝🤘
Based on the Douchey things Dave Mustaine has done over the years, Dave Ellefson has done no worse. By the way, have you guys seen Dave Mustaine’s new Glass house
Megadeth doesn't want to be known for jerking off for there fans. It would hurt the brand had Ellefson stayed. Besides, its Mustaines band. He writes the hits.
Dave Mustaine the 'practising' Christain, what a fucking joke
If you call peddling far right conspiracy theories “douchey”
Oh no a glass house
Dave Mustaine a born again Christian that can't show any forgiveness not surprising.
Saving lives one video at a time. The ending always kills me 😂 That ending never gets old!
It would be awesome if he and Chris Poland would work together again and do a metal album, maybe even an instrumental one like Chris’ Return to Metalopolis Solo Album!
Pride and egos are two hard things to overcome , i hope they can work it our and get stuff sorted .... and make more music
David is a awesome guy regaurdless of what happened
Awesome dude! Forever grateful! Please subscribe to my channel, would really mean a lot!
Take care David. You've a good attitude. You're gonna come out the other side man. Keep strong, 💪
Something real cool about Dave musicians
Let he who has a free hand cast the first stone.
I love Dave and Dave and always will
I love this response. This entire sad situation was brought about by our current state of cancel culture. He has a path for each of us in mind, and ultimately our direction is our choice. When things are meant to be, truly meant to be, He finds a way to interject. Y'all be blessed!
I was just listening to Killing is my business, and man, does the bass playing shine. That band would have never been quite what it was without the different members that greatly contributed. Mustain should recognize. I haven't been into them since the last few lineup reshuffle.
How the hell did you land an interview with this metal legend?! 😮
This makes me like JR more he still won’t just outright trash Dave when he has every reason to,mad respect
stupidest reason why mustain even cut Ellefson out of Megadeth, I'm sure Ellefson saw mustain do WAY worse
Still Kinda Pissed, I was born just weeks after Dave at Grossmont Hospital. I used to Hang out in the early days at Vic's Garage. Most upsetting to me is that Dave Continued to have the largest Revolving door for Band Members. And for me the Only thing that kept it Together was David Jr. I feel that its the biggest reason that Megadeth never got over the Hurdle. I pray David continues to stay healthy and free from Cancer. Blessings David Junior.
He cheated on his wife via webcam. Mustaine cant forgive him for that? The chick was a consenting adult. Even his wife forgave him lmao
Still doesn't make it fucking ok
Exactly Dave Mustaine claims to be a Christian yet he can't even show any forgiveness for somebody that's been there for him for many years real sad.
@@mlbftw9078 I'm sure you're real perfect and a saint yourself, aren't you?
Dave is still butt hurt from Metallica firing him and projecting
@@Allguitarinfo and let him back in the band after junior try to sue him
Definitely a favorite bassist. I'm glad his response was mature. I'm tired of mud; it ruins the music.
Give it a couple of years they'll be back together hopefully and Megadeth will keep rocking
Dave is one of the most important bass players in thrash and a good piece of megadeth, he mentioned it has a career in rock but not an important career in metal.
Next time we see them together will be when Megadeth is finally inducted into the RRHOF
Knowing Mustaine he'll probably just go up as a solo artist
@@albertramirez5390 And his speech will be about which songs he wrote in Metallica
@@deletedhero5579 lmfao
@@deletedhero5579 Maybe he can get Lars & James to induct him...the loop will finally be closed...oh wait I thought that happened at the 2011 Metallica 30th anniversary celebration & the Big 4 tour
They are only famous because one guy was briefly in Metallica 🤣🤣 .
imagine a interview with ellefson and jim root and count the "ya know"s lmao love em both
God Bless you Dave!!!! You’re the Captain of you’re OWN Band now!!!!!!!\M/
Mabye he should call his band "The Strokers" 🤣😂
@@dino9395 NO!!!!! The MIDNIGHT Strokers!!!!!!;);)
Iconic ,legendary ,unforgettable bass riffs and one of the best in metal history, and now the weak link in Megadeths lineup, not that Lomenzo is bad it's just everyone else in the band is so goddamn good and Dave made it another legendary lineup in Megadeths history ,that was #3
Bro just said "you know" 69 times
You take out Ellefson... And put Him out control!
Dave, this is coming from your number one fan, PLEASE, place tornado of souls in concert…
they play tornado literally every single set
Dave and Dave must be Friends because the World Needs this.
Junior is 😎. It sad when friends split...but man, we all got old
If it didnt happen i wouldn't have gotten to see Kings of Thrash in my home town up close and person with Dave E. Amazing show! So cool of all of the band to stay around after talk to people and take pictures. Got pictures with two of my metal hero's that night. And never say never to getting the team back together!!!

Dude...I've a mexican metalhead all my life, been listening to Megadeth since I was a young kid in the early 90's, seen them live many times: Dave Ellefson has always been a great, great guy and amazing underrated musician. He is NOT replaceable. I love Mustaine but we all know that David Ellefson has gone through Mustaine's hammer many times now, I hope he really reconsiders soon and come out with a great album.
I miss Megadave 😢
Junior Dave a founding member, no matter what Mustaine says. Brilliant bassist
So Hard, So Wood, So What…
So Hard, So Wood, So Nut! 😆
@@hatman44tapman38 well played 😅
David Ellefson Is the Fuckin man. He will always b the perfect bass player 4 Megadeth!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Proof that Mustaine never thought of him as a band member.
Please subscribe to the channel, it would really mean a lot and go a long way, thanks!
I don't believe that in the slightest. I hate to be that guy, here... actually I don't, because I was the victim of what he was, and I didn't do anything wrong to anyone. Dave has to think about his brainchild, and how shit like sexual shenanigans accusations affect him, too.
I am backing David Ellefson on this, though. Anything he did was online, and with someone he thought was overage. The fact that this little bitch lied about her age, and that nothing physically occurred, no underage nudies were sent, and even if they were, I am not interested in hearing how an underage girl sent a spread eagle shot to him, while telling him she was overage at the time can reflect badly on David, because he was lied to. She sent him a message stating she was overage, and I am not about to take her word over his. Logically, it makes more sense that she fooled him into thinking she was over the age, and when he went to break things off, either because she wasn't interested in meeting with him, or maybe even that the truth was known, she fires back at him in such a way that fucks his life up. I'm banking on the latter, and she can go fuck herself if that's the case. Preferably, with a knife.
Dave, don't let this shit stand.
Hope that it all comes back together
Damn I've never heard so many "You Know" in one clip
He's trying not to say something the media can spin the wrong way.
Dave u should tell him 'Mastrubation is not a crime'
Only when you do it for the world to see.
@@dino9395 as far as i remember HE did it only for one woman, that was too dumb to make this crime as you've said
I wish he'd come back
David is such a good dude. ❤
David is awesome, as an original founding member he has every right to come back to Megadeth.
He doesn't have any rights. Megadeth is Mustaine. Period. Dave was founding member of Metallica, does that mean he has every right to go back?
@@daveg4236 You're right about that.
Megadeth doesn't want to be known for jerking off for there fans. It would hurt the brand had Ellefson stayed.
@@daveg4236 no he wasn’t 😂 he wasn’t even the true original lead guitarist. Everybody loves giving Dave credit in Metallica where it isn’t due lmao
@@daveg4236 Dave mustaine wasn't actually a founding member of Metallica so it is different as Ellefson was a founding member of megadeth. But I think once Ellefson parted ways in 2002 and sued Dave mustaine he eventually came back under contract, so he could be fired any time
Love you bro you guys changed my whole life
That's for sure! Please subscribe to my channel, would really mean a lot!
From Megadeth to Megajizz.
For us fans he is the bassist of megadeth and will be forever.
Dave do a metal cover song of ''beat it''
Lol
He did a question and answer session after the incident lol
@@SunnyHippies Someone burn that keyboard...
Always Junior and the hired hand. All the best in the future and a great career so far. 👍
Classy answer. Megadeth was in a tough spot and really didn't have a choice but to do what they did. Sucks, but it is what it is.
Megadeth doesn't want to be known for jerking off for there fans. It would hurt the brand had Ellefson stayed.
Actually, the scandal was rather used as an excuse… that announcement said pretty clear: "(...) with an _already strained relationship_ (...)"
Mustaine could have easily " bucked the system" and had D.E's back. Megadeth fans would have been fine with it . Mustaine will spit you out in a heartbeat yet cry because it happened to him decades ago by Metallica.
The 90's was the best Megadeth lineup..But I do like Kiko.
The worst and most petty thing was replacing his bass parts on the new album. That is going beyond personal and affecting the art. It's almost on par with Lars turning down's Jason's bass on AJFA.
I wonder if Ellefson would only be paid if he was on the album and not for the studio tracks?
Hmmmm....
@@pauln6803 It will be something like that. There could be a clause in the contract that means he would get merchandising for any album he played on or something to that effect, and also as you say if he plays on a song he gets paid in the future..
greatest thing ever happened to ellefson wuz hookin up with the thrashmaster mustaine
I'm here for the comments 😂😂😂
Crazy there are thousands of them now lol make sure to like and subscribe to the channel, would really mean a lot thanks!
God Bless The Minnesota Boy. It was really harsh nonsense that Dave Junior went through.
He was looking for Young and Hot and it was a scary moment . So he had to wax his carrot. Then he new everything was fine . Unfortunately Dave was pissed because he wasn’t there before case there lives take different erections
Wax his 🥕? That's a new 1. Hope it's a circumcized carrot
Stay strong Dave! Hope he’s doing well
Please subscribe to my channel, would really mean a lot!
Incredible bass player and he deserves a second chance!
Forever a fan ;)
Met Ellefson once. Super nice guy.
We love you David... love from India
Rule 1 There will be no pleasuring yourself at anytime on tour
Rule 2 you will not speak unless Dave asks for your input
Rule 3 no more than 2 mistakes per tour
Rule 4 paychecks will only be issued upon completion of tour
Tu toca demais cara, Jesussss Cristo. Merecia muito mais reconhecimento!!!
Dave always liked to kick people out of Megadeth. Just an ego trip.
Especially people better than him
Chris and Shawn got out before he decided to kick them out
@@toma.4808 Stupid take, he wouldn't hire musicians better than him in the first place. Kiko is still in the band.
Marty left megadeth..
I disagree
He is and always will be one of my favorite Megadeth players
