MegadetH wouldn’t and wasn’t MegadetH without Ellefson. Mustaine screwed him over and yet Ellefson was the bigger man in all of it. He is without a doubt a super class act and a hell of a musician.
Any relation to Peter?
Mustaine is Megadeth, everyone else just adds a little flavor. Even some of the best bass lines Mustaine wrote. When Mustaine damaged his nerve and before he decided to call it quits, the other 3 members screwed Mustaine over by getting money from the record company that Mustaine had to pay back. Ellefson sued Mustaine a couple of times, surprised Mustaine ever let him back in the first place.
Let's sll give him a hand shall we!✊
Dave =Ozzy
Gar Samuelson was my favorite drummer with Megadeth. His playing was very unique. Gar made Megadeth special in a world of thrash/metal that all sounded similar.
I'm a massive Gar fan. I wish I could have seen him in action.
@@evyatarhadar8867 I had seen Gar with Megadeth twice when touring for Killing Is My Business... Once in a theater opening for Exciter and the next time headlining in a small club.
As a musician my self I will listen again with that in mind, I do love that album though, wasn't he a jazz guy previously?
@@jibicusmaximus4827 Yes, apparently Gar and Chris Poland came from some type of jazz group.
Gar is my favorite Megadeth drummer too. I really wish he was still with us today.
It is hard to imagine a world without coffee and Megadeth!
Bra.. Never mix the two! Lol.
Thank You for asking about DIME being offered to join MEGADETH, that’s what makes you a great interviewer!!! Way Cool of Dave to tell the us about it and the obvious respect snd admiration he expresses for PANTERA!!! Im honored that my name Rick E. Warden is included in the special thanks of 4 PANTERA records including POWER METAL and CFH. I published the local rag SKULL PRESS (on FB) among other things including a great friendship with DIME. I’m the person that made James and Lars promise me they’d come see DIME. It was at the last show of the RIDE THE LIGHTNING tour/ with WASP in Phoenix Arizona. Also partied with Chris Holmes until the sun came up that night.
That’s why I listen to all your interviews and appreciate you very much!!! Time Waisted.
^^^ that sounds like a damn good story that your listeners would like to hear more about.^^^ May be good to consider having him on as a guest!!! He’s probably got some good punk rock music as a recording artist to share.
Dude we need you on this show!
His bass work on both Peace Sells and Rust in Peace are world class performances. I dare say some of the best bass work in metal period. Me personally, Steve Harris will always be my number one till the day I die but Jr. is close behind...
You are right, musicians seem to notice DEs greatness I tend to find.. I am and am guessing you are too!
Enjoying your interviews Jason. I like that you let your interviewees do their thing and ask a variety of good questions. Keep up the great work! 👏🏽👏🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Thank you!
I’m glad you “get it”
Hope you like the upcoming interviews
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen this was a shitty interview.
Enjoying all the interviews - I like your approach it is not all “canned” same ole questions. It’s like watching 2 friends just having a normal conversation. Really appreciate your channel.
Appreciate that, trust me not everyone gets it... done people think I should put on a silly game show voice and do the same ol thing.
Thanks
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen I second the appreciation Jason great stuff! "Iiiiiiiiim Jason Green" in that deadpan way you say it is almost a catchphrase in itself, so don't change a thing! You may have also snagged the final interview with Junior before his recent troubles...
Peacesells was the 2nd cassette I bought with my paper route money at 12 years old..lol..been a huge fan ever since..
I would have been a fan even if they vinyl inside the sleeve was smooth, that art work! Lol
That whole peace sells was 🔥🔥🔥🔊🔊🔊
Another really great interview Jason, I always enjoy listening to David ! So far, it's been "top notch" working my way through all the videos on your channel. You're a pro dude !
Your channel is great!! I love the detailed interviews with all your guests. I subscribed not too long after I found your Greg D'angelo interview. Excellent questions also.
Another great interview. This is my new favorite UA-cam channel. Keep up the good work Jason!
Can't thank you enuff Jason, been hopin & waitin on this one & u delivered. Fav bass player is Dave & enjoyed it very much. We need this metal fans so pls support 👍
I'm praying for a double album! Please DAVID! It never took so long! I'm so anxious! I hope the new album is going to be a double one.
Great interview, Dave is very well spoken and tells a great back story. Cheers.
It's a breath of fresh air listening to JR always. There isn't even a tiny hate in him. Always humble much like Gene Hoglan. Always amazing interviews \,,/
The Roast in Peace is really good. I just ordered another bag.
I really enjoyed this interview. It was really cool hearing about all of the things he has done throughout his career. He is a really busy guy. You know what would be an awesome interview. Maybe David can help you line up an interview with K.K. Downing. What a career he has had. I saw a video a little while ago where David and Ripper Owens were playing a concert with K.K. doing some Priest hits. They sounded really great together.
Great Great interview and stories from Dave. I love those early Megadeth releases. Great to hear it from Dave himself. Grew up with them and saw many times back then. 85-90. When i hear MTV mentioned , i instantly think of Daves Bassline to Peace Sells. Heard it for years.
I am always saying my last word is fucking genius, sounds a bit more nwobhm same with anthrax's lone justice of spreading the disease
Which is odd as I only got in to nwobhm in say the last two decades, before that I was pure 1986 thrash head lol, now I am a few things, I play blues guitar in a band but play and like loads of styles and instruments and theory. MD are the fucking greatest aren't they and as people are saying DE is over looked and a cool guy to boot.
David makes for a great interview. Thanks Jason. Good stuff.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, thank you and yes David is a really cool guy!
Another great interview Jason
Great interview thanks
Great stuff Jason
Great interview, cheers
Thanks, I hope you enjoy the others
great interview! ...cut my teeth on Megadeth. Lost count of my Rust listens, learned a lot
Ah man I adore the Ellefson machine... Anyhooch, gonna enjoy watching this.

Great job Jason! Long and Awesome interview with the Mega-Bass legend Dave Ellefson.
Never knew this about David Ellefson, pretty cool, gonna buy 2 bags of Roast in Peace, My Mom lost her battle with Breast Cancer so this hits home for me, thanks Jason. Hangar 18 is my favorite song of theirs. Holy Wars is the most epic. Tornado of Souls is the most prophetic, amazing how three masterpieces landed on one album. Hope they play Cleveland in the future.
Love your interviews and love how you let people talk. As much as I like Eddie Trunk, unfortunately he doesn't do that and that kills the interview. So thank You Jason! 👍
Thank you for the nice words, I’m glad you dig what I do
I have my tickets for the Noblesville show in July.Im ready to Rock
Dave pushed all my favorite Megadeth members out sadly but it's great to see they are all thriving! Going to have to try some of this coffee for sure. Another great interview with a bonafide legend of rock!
Great Interview. Jason, just a minor suggestion/ comment. I notice your audio is very high and the guest's audio is usually very low. Maybe if you could find a way to adjust audio levels to make it more uniform that'd be great. Your voice sounds great but I've got to adjust volume level everytime the guest pitches in.
Yes..Agreed..it's horrible..Jason you're too high..need good audio on a music site.
Damn Ellefson’s world is about to get rocked in 2 months
Nice Armored Saint t-shirt. That's awesome!
Yesssssssssss ! I love him so much !!! Jason you are the best host to some of the greatest bands !!!!🎸🎼🎸🎤🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸🎼
Amazing Interviewing. David is such a class act.
Thank you very much & yes he’s one of the good ones!
Nothing has changed.
Dave is still a great guy.
He is still one of the BEST Metal Bassists on the planet.
There are those of us that still support him 100%, no question.
Imagine having your ENTIRE LIFE, everything you have done, everything you have accomplished, shit on over one moment in time.
To those that chose to unjustly persecute - wait until it happens to you. Due to the company you keep, it most certainly will.
Sharks don't form friendships.
Xoxcellent Show Biz Dudes N' Attitudes !
Peace Sells Saved Me as A Clean Musician !
To set the record straight Dave wasn't good friends of Nick no matter what they say now that Nick‘s not here to answer what's been said about him. Dave wasn’t very nice to Nick towards the end before his passing.
Dave Mustaine or David Ellefson?
No matter what the answer to that is. A guy that's actually in the band said different so who gives a f***
@@Bangyourbirdnumb both...
Well the Dave Mustaine I briefly met in 1990 was an arrogant prick and considering how he fired the So Far So Good lineup I don't find it much of a stretch to believe that Dave was a jerk to Menza .
I'm glad you asked him about that Mtv news matter of using "Peace Sells" and whether he was paid or not.
It is a good thing they did not sign to Elektra or MCA . Elektra would have prioritized Metallica and Deth would have fallen into obscurity. MCA didn't sign metal bands to promote them, they were just tax write offs. Capitol Records was absolutely the best place for them.
Sound issues for me but still, it's true what comment section says, it is a great interview, thank you, bad ones piss me off lol.
The sound levels were way off on this one.
David left Megadeth and created F5. Dale Steele (lead singer) from F5 is in the band G.I.V.E. and just released the UNNATURAL EP on Record Store Day. It sounds like Megadeth! Check it out. You're welcome.
One of Metal's finest base player's from the 80's till now. Keep it Fast. Thanks Jason
100%
Thank you for watching!
First off thank you Jason for this channel, you are an awesome interviewer, very professional job on these interviews. Second I am a HUGE Megadeth and Dimebag fan but not for one minute do I believe that Mustain and Dimebag would have lasted. Dave has to big of an ego and Dimebag's star power would have eventually caused problems for Dave.
Thanks for the kind words & I agree with you
I could listen to Dave all day, he always comes across as a really nice guy
Very nice and you’re right, easy to listen to, the time flew by
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen good job Jason, also really enjoyed the Carlos Cavazo and Oz Fox interviews recently and have been keeping up to date with his and Annie's Facebook post surgery progress reports, keep em coming.
Just tried ordering some of his coffee. His website doesn't ship to Alaska.. :(
Great interview Jason, Dave is an amazing guest, the fact he can retell these stories like it was last week is incredible. Maybe you can get Gary Holt, or Scott Ian on for interviews, that would fucking rule!
Thanks, yes I’m amazed at how well he remembers details & he’s definitely a perfect guest!
Working on new interviews everyday, so you never know
Is that where slave to the grind comes from, skid row touring with pantera
I like to know when David actually got clean. Here he says it was before RIP. Yet in Behind the Music they were going to play Budacon and him and Dave flew back to go to rehab and Marty was upset but understanding they needed to get clean. Love to hear which is true. Glad he got clean. I love David
Behind the music definitely doesnt care about accurate information, just look at the Pantera episode....
@@integrity101 true. But by all accounts. Marty was not in band before RIP. Yet in the video he was bummed that they were to plat Budacon. when David in Behind the music says he couldn’t stand feeling that bad anymore. Both Dave’s went to rehab in US canceling the tour. I doubt Marty is lying
@@integrity101 I don't like pantera. So wouldn't waste my time reading it.
So Marty is a liar. But a guy hooked on heroin remembers better. As Bobby Blitz said about original lineup. Put us 4 in a room you'll hear 4 different stories
@@BlitzBobby104
Wow u like Megadeth but not Pantera?
@@integrity101 I grew up on MEGADETH. Had bootlegs from underground NYC. Someone played me Pantera. Guitars gave me a headache. I bought 2 cds. Tried listening to them working. Couldn't stand them. Glad Dime didn't go into Megadeth
Dave sounds like a talk radio host.
Is the sound fucked or is it my system please, sound digital like it's their connection right?
Megadeth just still rules!
Correct me if I'm wrong. They basically mentioned everybody else that played in Megadeth. Nobody mentioned Mike Albert. I think he deserves a little bit of credit
He was a stand in on one tour. He didn't really contribute anything other than filling in for Chris Poland on the first round of shows for K.I.M.B
@@MoveitorLoseit2 I understand that very much correct. Kerry King jammed with them they mentioned him. I think they should have gave a little credit to him whether he contributed or not everybody else was mentioned it wouldn't hurt to mention his name even if there's no contribution. Let's just say Mikey Albert stood in with us for a little bit great guitar player. Even if it was just that much just a little acknowledgement I feel if you can go as far as mentioning Lee Rauch and handevidt why not Mike Albert. As a Megadeth fan you know what I mean not knocking what you're saying. You're a fellow Megadeth fan as well you're my friend. But I think it wouldn't have hurt to mention him
Let’s waste some tiiiiime!!!!
Stoked for David Ellefson
Thanks, I hope it delivers!
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen it did 🤘🤘
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen it totally did.
Great interview Jason! You are a blessing :) If you like it heavy MEGADETH weighs a ton! God bless all the thrashers on flat earth and savior JESUS keep us safe always !
I'm afloat earther 2
after this interveiw Ellefson pants go s down lol :) hands on lol
Available at your finer .99 Cent Store near you
It would help the joke if you explain what you’re referring too?
Question how do u get to interview these band mates
Most of the people I interviewed, I know personally and worked with on projects here in Las Vegas
I love Megadeth.
Ellifson was a perfect fit
Mustaine kind of had no choice but to let him go.
I think it would have been a hard time for mustaine,There older now with kids,try explaining to your 15yo daughter,that the bass player in your band is batting off on the internet as he's driving to church .LOL,
Ellifson has nothing to defend or be judged by.
He did nothing wrong .
Except it went public and that makes it hard for all involved.
He can come play bass for me anytime.
I'll even join in on the next viewing
Think of the downloads.
I mean album release downloads
you filthy metalheads.
You rock Dave Ellifson
Thank you for having the intelligence and good humour to to hold your head up high and be proud of what you've accomplished.
Coffee is like smoking, if you never had it you never need it.
Ellefson movies
Ellefson books
Ellefson coffee and now…
ELLEFSON -BEATS by DAVE). Headphones coming soon. You are welcome , Copyright pending🤘🤘🤘😁😁😁lol, but in all seriousness. I like Dave a lot, and I want in him in Megadeth personally, but I see where they come from too, sucks, good interviews though.
As a good Cuban I drink coffee more than 4 times a day , I'd like to try David's coffee and I hope it's strong like his music
I don’t think he will disappoint you! Lol
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen bro i'm drinking my second coffee at 4 oclock eastern time , if I don't drink coffee I get severe headaches .i'm a rock n roll coffee junkie . i'll be here next week waiting for eddy
You lost that loving feeling is the Righteous Bros,just saying.😎
If you don't lol for the first few minutes knowing now what Dave had been busy with. lol
You might actually be a more seasoned chaturbator than Dave. Giggle that.
Why it's still assumed that what's private and not to be shared...yada yada.. anyway. Just plain like this guy who kept up with the monster beast that is Mustaine for decades..David Ellefson.
I was at the Alpine Valley show.. Great show. But Megadeth used too much phase/flanger thru their set.
I'm a sucker for a good found footage flick.
Hey Jason. I'd say, in light of the current Ellefson situation, things were pretty "G" rated for ya, huh?
Artist sue the people that made them?
I would think if they are getting ripped off, yes they’d probably sue them
Can't stand coffee I've tried but it won't take lol
Hard to picture him being a heroine addict. And who decides who wins in the Grammys?
Don't think DE was a full blown H addict, in the way Layne Staley was, he stopped at the begining of that trail, when things start to look ugly😒
The Grammys are nominated by a bunch of reptiles.
Mustaine screwed them over. he owns the megadeth name ; probably the rights I'm sure Ellefson, Poland; Marty Friedman and the late Nick menza were due, money that they didnt get any royalties on merchandise and record sales
It's fucking too bad Dave E is not in Megadeth any more
couldnt get through this one....borefest
yeah but this coffee has no amphetamines or cocaine, so nothing exciting, just caffeine
so this was basically a commercial for ellefson book and coffee? gtfo
This isn't George Noory. They hardly spoke about a book, and the coffee rundown was only a couple of minutes long.
