For The Metal Voice, former Anthrax singer, Neil Turbin, talked to former Megadeth members David Ellefson and guitarist Jeff Young at this years NAMM 2024 at the Ellefson Coffee booth. They talk Kings Of Thrash, the upcoming Nick Menza documentary, Megadeth, and a lot more. Watch below:
Ellefson recently added more dates for his inaugural Bass Warrior Tour, gracing select European cities with a captivating evening of cherished classics, deep cuts, and insightful storytelling from his illustrious career. This journey will encompass his role as a co-founding member of Megadeth, his Ellefson solo material, and more.
Ellefson, with enthusiasm, expressed, "I've approached my career as that of a musical warrior, always accompanied by my bass guitar. I eagerly anticipate bringing these songs back to the stage, while sharing introspective and entertaining anecdotes about their creation. It's been a wild ride of low notes and high stakes!"
Accompanying him on this tour is Italian guitarist and musical director, Andy Martongelli, a longtime friend and collaborator who has been by Ellefson's side during his solo ventures, Basstory®, Ellefson-Soto, and Altitudes & Attitude tours across Europe.
