The bassist says that reconnecting with Dave Mustaine over the weekend was ‘wonderful’.

Dave Ellefson has spoken to Classic Rock magazine about agreeing to rejoin Megadeth.

“It literally happened over the weekend,” said Ellefson. “And I can hardly believe it myself. There was clearly gonna be a change in the lineup, because James Lomenzo was leaving. Dave and I talked on the phone, and all the feuds, all the arguments we’ve been having over the years just melted away. It just goes to show what direct contact can achieve!”

im not bothered who’s in megadeth so long as dave is lol

oh man this made my day!

Best Megadeth lineup ever IMO. Ellefson was their best bassist, Dave is ever present, Drover is a technically immaculate drummer and Broderick is easily the best guitar player they’ve ever had.

damn right coops ! will be great to see them at download

*sing* “If there’s a new way,
I’ll be first in line,
..but it better work this time!” lol
Game on, Donny’10 here I come!

Fantastic news! Even if James have done it well, Dave and David is Megadeth! And Rust in Peace is the best Megadeth record ever.

philip kay ridiculous 666

next bring in marty friedman and nick menza then megadeth will wipe away the opposition

philip kay: no need. ‘Deth already wipes away the opposition.

Great news. Horns up!

Junior is returning to ‘Deth? Fucking fantastic news.

Fuckin’ great! Nothing against Lomenzo.

I don’t like their drummer at the moment though.

Roger Picard

The best lineup of MEGADETH
MUSTAINE
EFFELSON
DROVER
BRODERICK
Hell yeah! It’s an awesome news. Hope to see them in july 24 at the HEAVY MTL in Montreal CANADA part of the CANADIAN CARNAGE with SLAYER, TESTAMENT and among others.

I doubt Menza’s spot will be open any time soon, cos dave has been workin with drover for a good ol’ amount of time now, but hopefully broderick (As amazing as he is) will step aside for marty in the near future!!! Download???

FUCK YEAH, HOLY WARS!!!

The Real Ollie

This makes Megadeth that bit greater! Seeing the other bass player was like, meh, for me. Nothing against James, but David is the man for this

megamaidenfan

Lol at the dude who wrote effelson xD

Also this is awesome, it seems James wasn’t kicked out. That has made me happier. This truly is the best lineup of deth ever. I don’t want to change ever again ><

Sir_Tubalot

Fuck yes. That is All.

That fucker sued Mustaine and of course, now that he discovered that by himslef he sucks is “happy to be back” what a cocksucker. I hope Mustaine don`t trust in him too much and limit everything for that bastard to just play on stage.

this is the best news ever

Johannes Scott

Dave & Junior!!

Now back to the revenge agenda – Set the world afire!!!

I would love to see Marty back with Megadeth again! No harsh feelings to Chris Broderick I think he’s very talented and his guitar work in the new album is first class. But Marty is the solo player who really showed the metal scene an alternative edge saving us from just sloppy sped up wanking licks. Every solo is different with him, and even over the most harshest riff you can get the most subtle melodys that really do stick with you. He really is a unique player. I think all the lead guitar players who have been through Megadeth are great, And maybe it’s about time we stop ranting on about who’s the best guitar player and grow up! They’re all awesome because Mustaine only ever picks the finest pedigree of musicians for Megadeth.

David and Dave are Megadeth…now all we need is Marty…to return and Megadeth will be invincible..
