MEGADETH\'s DAVID ELLEFSON: \'I Was Never In METALLICA, So I Like Them\'
 MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson was recently interviewed for the Sonisphere festival web site. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Q: Scott Ian [ANTHRAX guitarist] sang on stage with you in Switzerland. How did that come about?
Ellefson: It surprised the crap out of me. All of a sudden I heard someone bellowing really loud and I thought, "Man, Chris Broderick is singing really loud today," and I turn around and Scott's on my mic singing. That was unplanned unless Dave mentioned it to him, but with "Peace Sells" that's sort of our come-one, come-all singalong sort of song, so anybody who might be out there watching in the wings, we're like, "come on, get on out here." Scott happened to be that guy in Switzerland.
Q: How's the relationship with METALLICA now?
Ellefson: Very good. I've always got along well with them. I was never in METALLICA, so I like them. I think they're great. I've always liked them as guys, I thought they were cool, their band rocks, their records are great. They're just a ferocious live band. As far as the obvious with our whole band and all the bands, honestly, it's great. METALLICA have risen to such huge success, it's very cool of them that they would move themselves off of their perch of iconic celebrity to just come back down to this scene of metal, which we've all created together. Because they've been able to move far away from this scene many years ago through the records they made and the songs that they wrote, which I always admired because most bands can't. MEGADETH was able to for a while. SLAYER never did. ANTHRAX did some things that were creative and cool. Now all four of us have a very different sound even though we all came out of the same gene pool musically and to some degree we all kind of end up as a branch off the METALLICA family tree. I mean, Dave [Mustaine, MEGADETH mainman] was in METALLICA, I played with Dave, Kerry King [SLAYER guitarist] played with MEGADETH. We're all part of the METALLICA fist in some shape or form. It's cool. It's sort of like a family reunion, which is very healthy and a lot of fun.
Q: "Endgame" only came out last year. Is it too early to start talking about a new album?
Ellefson: A little bit. It's funny because people are happy that I'm back and the first thing is, "How about the Big Four?" and then it's, "Hey, when are you going to do a new album?" It's because people are excited. People say they can't wait to hear new material with me and Dave playing together. We have one track called "Sudden Death", which is on "Guitar Hero VI", which is coming out and as soon as I played on it, right away it sounded like MEGADETH. That's the chemistry that Dave and I have playing together and it was really, really cool for that to happen. That'll be the first thing and then next year before we get to look seriously at the new record. Trying to do it when you're out here jumping from city to city, show to show, setlist to setlist, you're not focused. You're out here as a performer and when you go into that creative mode to write a record, you can't be thinking about "Are my clothes ironed?" and "Does my hair look okay?" and "Is my bass in tune?" It would probably take most of next year to make it, quite honestly. It could be next year, but my thought is that it's probably most likely a 2012 release, which supposedly is the year the world is going to end anyway, so it'll be perfect.
Q: You're a Christian. How does playing on the same bill as bands like SLAYER and BEHEMOTH square with that?
Ellefson: I grew up as a Christian. There was nothing fanatical. As far as playing with SLAYER, I think SLAYER lyrics are pretty funny, actually. I enjoy their approach and their topics. I've know Kerry now for a lot of years and I get his very dry sense of humor and so when I read his lyrics, I'm like, that looks like a Kerry lyric. I kind of get a kick out of it. I don't think it's as demonic and evil and satanic as everyone thinks it is.

UNEARTH - Video Footage Of Download Festival Pit Filmed By Guitarist Ken Susi Available
 On Friday, June 11th, UNEARTH hit the Main Stage at the legendary Download Festival on the Castle Donington grounds alongside AC/DC and THEM CROOKED VULTURES.

France's PIN-UP WENT DOWN To Release New Album Next Month
 342, the second album from French avant-garde metal masters PIN-UP WENT DOWN, will be released through Ascendance Records on June 28th.
In 2006 Alexis Damien, multi-instrumentalist and former drummer for avant-garde metal band CARNIVAL IN COAL launched his new project, Pin-Up Went Down. He brought in vocalist, Asphodel and although they had only met twice prior to recording, together they went on to create 2 Unlimited, an album that managed to combine gothic metal with funk, jazz, punk, and a whole host of other experimentations into the mix, melding together to create an utterly unique and bizarre blend of styles and moods.
If 2 Unlimited surprised by its originality, 342’s most significant feature might be its maturity. 342 is an un-inhibited display of eccentricity, pushing the genre to new and unchartered waters. Inventive musicianship coupled with Asphodel’s vocal gymnastics strike the balance between unrestrained sickness and emotional beauty. The track 'Vaginaal Nathrakh' features Andy Schmidt from German band DISILLUSION (courtesy of Metal Blade).

RUSH Receives Star On \'Hollywood Walk Of Fame\'; Video Available
 Canadian rock legends RUSH received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday (June 25) in front of the Musicians Institute on Hollywood Boulevard.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, on hand to induct the musicians were SMASHING PUMPKINS singer Billy Corgan and Donna Halper, a former music director at Cleveland's WMMS-FM who was among the first to champion the enduring band's 1974 self-titled debut album.
"RUSH always stayed true to themselves and true to their music, and never lost their integrity," Halper said to cheers from the crowd that ranged from toddlers in RUSH T-shirts and baby boomers in tattered vintage "2112" tour jerseys.
Frontman-bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson were in attendance to claim the 2,412th star on the Walk of Fame. Noticeably absent was drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, who was riding a motorcycle to the band's first tour date in Albuquerque on Tuesday.
