David Ellefson has released a clip from his podcast, The David Ellefson Show, along with the following introduction:
David recalls the early days of The Big 4 coming together, sharing behind-the-scenes stories of reconnecting with Dave Mustaine and how their talks unfolded. He details the business negotiations, personal struggles, and the moment he found out about the Big 4 tour while touring with his own projects. Ellefson reflects on the excitement, the setbacks, and ultimately, how the reunion happened, leading to massive shows and a historic live DVD. He also touches on the surreal experience of playing in front of a worldwide audience, with the performances broadcast in movie theaters globally.
Earlier this week, Ellefson issued the new episode of 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.
