David Ellefson (Megadeth) Interview

April 10, 2020 by Gus

Even during the Covid-19 outbreak you can’t keep David Ellefson down. The Megadeth bassist is partnering with the partnering with the Grammy Music Education Coalition to host “Oh Say Can You Stream fundraising event for the the David Ellefson Youth Music Foundation. This livestream online fundraiser, powered by CISCO WEBEX is to raise money for the “School’s Out” initiative which provides online lessons, instruments and gear to kids and aspiring musicians during the current quarantine, and other COVID-19 relief charities. The event kicks off this Saturday (4.11) at 3 PM CT/4 ET can be streamed on GMEC’s Twitch and Facebook, David Ellefson’s Facebook and YouTube channels, and DEYMF’s Facebook page. For the full lineup and details, please visit Ellefson Youth Music Foundation. The streaming links are provided below.

In addition to this very important fundraising event, we also talk about his other business ventures which include Ellefson Muisc Productions, Ellefson Coffee Company, his autobiographies and the relaunching of his old record label Combat Records. We also dive into the current state of Megadeth, including the upcoming record and tour with Lamb of God, Trivium and In Flames.  We also chart about his new song with his business partner Thom Hazaert.

Sit back and enjoy an Ellefson coffee as we talk all things Ellefson and Megadeth.
