DAVE MUSTAINE 'Loves' Having JAMES LOMENZO Back In MEGADETH After 'That Weird S**t That Happened' With DAVID ELLEFSON

In a new interview with Heavy magazine, Dave Mustaine of MEGADETH, which will perform in Australia later this month as part of Knotfest Australia, was asked what has changed with his band since the last time MEGADETH played in the country back in 2015. Dave responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Well, a lot. A lot, I would have to say. We've had some lineup changes, and every time we did that, the person that came in was better. When we parted ways with the drummer before Dirk [Verbeuren, current MEGADETH drummer] — it was the person before Chris Adler [LAMB OF GOD], which was Shawn Drover — we tried to get the 'Rust In Peace' lineup back together. It didn't work with Nick [Menza, former MEGADETH drummer]; Nick went off one way and we went the other. [We] contacted Adler and asked him if he would play on the record, and then maybe contact Nickagain and have him tour with us since he couldn't really do the record. That didn't work out either, so we had Chris do the record ['Dystopia'] and stay, and while we were doing that, Chris and his band parted ways. We didn't know if Chris was gonna stay with us [or] stay with them. Of course, we wanted him to stay with LAMB OF GOD. I'm sad that he left and that there's any kind of distance between the family. I do think that Art [Cruz, current LAMB OF GOD drummer] is an amazing drummer. And then after that, Chris Adler recommended Dirk. And Dirk is, in my mind, the best drummer we've had since Gar Samuelson. He's a big fan of Gar, and that is the power that drives MEGADETH — that jazz metal; not, like, rock metal. Nick was a super-talented and powerful drummer, and he, fortunately, was able to do a lot of those jazz hooks too. So we almost had that magic that we did when Gar was there, but we definitely had something that Gar did not, which was the power that Nick Menza possessed."

Mustaine continued: "Same thing if you go down the line with the bass playing. [David] Ellefson [former MEGADETH bassist] was in the band. He was out. James [LoMenzo, current MEGADETH bassist] came in. He was out. Ellefson came back because the Drover brothers [drummer Shawn and guitarist Glen] kept pressuring me to do this, get Ellefson back. He came in, and we had that weird shit that happened. I had Steve DiGiorgio come in and record the record ['The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!'], and James is back. And I love that he's back. The singing is fabulous on stage. He actually can sing really well, so he helps encourage me to sing. And then Kiko [Loureiro, guitar], as you know... After I parted ways with Chris Broderick [former MEGADETH guitarist]… I mean, where do you go from having [former MEGADETH guitarists] Marty Friedman and Chris Poland, and it's time to make a guitar player change again? So, Kiko… I saw a video online of Kiko actually being put head to head against Chris Broderick; someone made a video of that, right? And I watched it, and I went, 'Fuck! I've gotta get in touch with this guy.' The funny thing was that when I contacted him, he said that he had been talking to Ellefson. So when I talked to Ellefson the next time, I said, 'What the fuck's wrong with you, man? Why didn't you tell me you know this guy?' So that was a great addition to the band. Kiko and James play really well together, and Kiko and Dirk have an amazing ability to play those crazy riffs together. Of course, we can always be better, so we all go into the jam room every day and try and work on little bits and pieces of a song. And our record producer is out with us on the road as our music director helping us keep our chops up."

Mustaine fired Ellefson from MEGADETH in May 2021, just days after sexually tinged messages and explicit video footage involving the bassist were posted on Twitter.

Shortly before Ellefson was dismissed from MEGADETH, he released a statement on Instagram denying all social media chatter that he "groomed" an underage fan.

Ellefson was in MEGADETH from the band's inception in 1983 to 2002, and again from 2010 until his latest exit.

Last September, MEGADETH's latest album, "The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!", debuted at the top of the charts during its first week of sales, taking the No. 3 spot on the Billboard 200 as well as number ones on Top Album Sales, Top Current Albums Sales, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums. "The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!" was the highest-charting MEGADETH album of all time around the world, notching No. 1 In Finland, No. 2 in australia, poland, Switzerland, and Scotland, No. 3 in the U.K., and more.

MEGADETH's previous top 10 entries on the Billboard 200 were "Countdown to Extinction" (No. 2, 1992),"Youthanasia" (No. 4, 1994),"Cryptic Writings" (No. 10, 1997),"United Abominations" (No. 8, 2007),"Endgame" (No. 9, 2009),"Super Collider" (No. 6, 2013) and "Dystopia" (No. 3, 2016).

MEGADETH recently received its thirteenth Grammy nomination for "Best Metal Performance" for the song "We'll Be Back" from "The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!".

MEGADETH won the 2017 Grammy Award for "Best Metal Performance" for the title track of the band's 2016 album "Dystopia". This marked the group's twelfth Grammy nomination in this category (including nominations in the discontinued "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance" category).

Удивительно, как он умудряется раз за разом переобуваться, но так логично при этом строить ответы, что вроде как нигде сам себе и не противоречит:)

Kliops144, менца тогда наркоманил страшно,ему тогда не до группы было.Самое смешное,что наркоманить он стал из-за того,что его уволили из группы.

Termofucker, полуправда. В группу его не взяли в 2004 и в 2015 из за того что он не мог показать за барабанами и половины того что умел когда был в группе ( привет наркотикам ) Но уволили его в 1998 как раз из за наркоты тоже . в 1998 все в группе кроме него давно были чистые даже обычные сигареты были под запретом в группе . Но Ник ложил на всех болт в этом плане и не вёлся ни на какие уговоры . Достаточно почитать как он чудил на последних гастролях по Англии. Ну а последним стало то что он пропустил концерт заявив что у него болит колено а потом его сдали его же друзья рассказав что он был в нарко притоне в тот день.

olly71, только не нужно пиздежь паталагического лжеца выдавать за истинну. Ведь вся твоя инфа из уст Рыжего,не так ли?

Самое не прикольное в таких группах!!!
Нельзя посмотреть назад,послушать как тот или другой музыкант играл и эволюционировал в процессе времени.Это не группа и не Мегадэт....Мега что то другое и слушать Вообще не интересно
Просто состав сейчас.
Хороший гитарист,Бас неплохо поющий......на остальном всё :(
