      It was for the lack of a better term, a corporate decision to sever ties with Ellefson. I neither condemn or condone Mustaine's decision but from a business standpoint he was trying to protect the Megadeath brand. With today's ridiculous woke culture the SJWs would have tried to crucify the band if they didn't do what they did.

    One thing I admire from David is his bass line is always audible. I don't need a high end speaker system to hear it. For this interview, I like how David reacts when others making D jokes. He just laughs it off. Fyi, I don't support what David did. I hope it doesn't leave any trauma and all party can learn from that mistake.

    David needs to step back and look at himself . You can tell he is having a hard time dealing with his nice guy image getting blow up .
    At best , he was being a creepy old man .
    Dave mustaine's daughter is older then the girl jr was with .
    J.r is the one who is the christian minister .
    Look, mustaine is a grade A. A** , = parts crazy and great .
    But j.r. did take it to court and aired the groups dirty laundry . Tried to ruin muataine . Then j.r removed any mention of deth from his online profile.
    Meanwhile Mustaine kept the brand and the band going , carried the deth flag , got the big 4 shows set up , the r.i.p aniv stuff .
    J.r went off and did F -5 . And side a lot of gig work .
    Must have been nice to come back to a major band , while doing nothing for years to help it . Of course he would come back as a hired hand , he gave up his ownership .
    Like a kid coming back home from years of school and playing , brewing coffee while dad kept your mustang running , washed , waxed and plugs changed .
    And for the record i love j.r. he has meant a lot to me throughout my life . But as the bible says " let your yes be yes and your no be no "
    Wrong is wrong . Its sad and a bummer but hey thats just my 2 cents .

      Well Dave Ellefson is a pro because of Megadeth. Ellefson always had what you need in the hard rock and metal world. Should be tall as a bassist, he is 6 feet. Good looking guy; had the 80's metal hair. Check the boxes; very talented player - his playing stands out. And like he says he knew when to be quiet; you don't make waves as a bassist. He finally lost the gig, and it is Dave Mustaine I think that all he had to do was stand up for him. Say Dave

    Kinda odd that Dave's made so many egregious missteps throughout the course of his both his life and his career, yet he's never once suggested kicking himself out of the band. Then David has just _one_ indiscretion (that isn't something for anybody but him, his wife and God to work out amongst themselves), and suddenly he's a persona non grata. For someone who was very unceremoniously given the boot by Metallica, you'd think Dave might be a little more open to second chances. But with David already having been out of the band once before, there's clearly some history there that I must not be aware of, so maybe I can't talk.

    Was a bonehead move for David to not agree with remixing the catalog if they were not going to do a "Lars-Mix" on the bass. This is a fact, if you're standing in the way of everyone making millions of dollars over some petty principle, you are going to anger a lot of people.

Doesn't seem like you put any effort into pre pro at all let alone "in depth" prep with most of your questions. That doesn't show respect to your guest. Second, self deprecating humor is one thing but you took way too many cheap jabs at him throughout about about a pretty embarrassing subject imo. Not very classy. That incident was certainly not a joke to the man with how it affected his career and family. I'm glad you got your partner there to pull things back to being a bit more professional throughout this one. Obviously just my own opinion.

      Well Dave Ellefson is a pro because of Megadeth. Ellefson always had what you need in the hard rock and metal world. Should be tall as a bassist, he is 6 feet. Good looking guy; had the 80's metal hair. Check the boxes; very talented player - his playing stands out. And like he says he knew when to be quiet; you don't make waves as a bassist. He finally lost the gig, and it is Dave Mustaine I think that all he had to do was stand up for him. Say Dave
      Ellefson is not going anywhere and what could anyone do about that?
      Nothing he would have remained in the band.

David IS Megadeth, and it’s a damn crime Dave still operates Deth that way. He will have to live with his decisions, and hopefully one day he realizes how much he took his musicians for granted.

    Noe I guess the Lucids ok. What David Ellefson could do is to start an alternative metal band with Chris Poland- Jeff Young & Chuck Behler. And Ellefson has to step up to the plate and sing the songs. They need to sit back - listen to a whole bunch of metal & thrash - ect ect. Get inspired- get motivated & write some insanely intense Metal songs.
    And also start playing a bunch of Megadeth song with the original members of Megadeth. But totally keep Lucid as a cool side project.
    In summary- Ellefson needs to start writing his own crazy metal stuff with the original Megadeth members. Call it MuStained or MegaStain 😅👍
    And if Chuck Behler falls short. I am a drummer & I can play a whole bunch of Megadeth song such as-
    502 - Holy Wars- peace sells- psychotron- head crusher- Washington is next- hangar 18- go to hell- The killing road- symphony of destruction- 1000 times goodbye- Mary Jane. Ect- ect...
    Then challenge Dave to a battle of the bands: MuStained vs Megadeth...👍
