David Ellefson has issued the new episode of his podcast, The David Ellefson Show, featuring guests Paula and Dave Lombardo.
Description: Dave Lombardo shares insights into his Cuban roots, diverse influences, and love for metal, highlighting how artists like KISS and Sting shaped his journey. The conversation also explores The Misfits’ influence on metal, Mr. Bungle’s musical complexity, and jamming experiences with Metallica. The guys reflect on how musicians stayed creative during the lockdown, leading to collaborative projects like the Ellifson’s No Cover album and Lombardo’s solo work. It also covers the challenges of touring, Lombardo’s work with multiple bands, and how his wife, Paula, inspired him to explore new musical directions, including Venamoris. Additionally, David recalls rejoining Megadeth for the Rust In Peace 20th-anniversary tour. This coincided with the delay of American Carnage due to Tom Araya’s surgery, ultimately leading to the legendary Big Four shows with Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax.

The indefatigable Dave Lombardo’s bona fides as a world-class drummer are well-known. While he drafted the blueprint that would define thrash-metal drumming, he’s also applied his finesse to solo percussion (2023’s Rites Of Percussion), hip hop and classical music, as well as boundary-pushing recordings and performances with everyone from John Zorn’s ensembles to punk icons Misfits and Mr. Bungle. To Cross Or To Burn is another milestone in his storied career, where he’s added guitar, bass and considerable production techniques to his sonic skill-set.
Canadian-born Paula Lombardo began her musical career at 18 as a backing singer for Las Vegas icon Wayne Newton, performing multiple shows in the demanding Vegas circuit before relocating to Nashville to further her musical career. A dynamic musical force, she combines impressive vocal prowess, a deftness on piano and synthesizers with a natural instinct for crafting alluring lyrics, melodies and arrangements.
