Ep. 153 - David Ellefson: Dave Mustaine is Fighting with Himself (The Truth About Being in Megadeth)

David Ellefson (Ex-Megadeth / The Lucid / Ellefson-Soto) joins Benny, Siobhán, and Cory to touch base on the events of the last year, and the truth behind his departure from Megadeth. We dive into some Megadeth history reminiscing some of the band’s early moments as well as some of the moments leading to David’s exit. We get an update on some of David’s current projects, and some funny tour stories to tie it all together. All this and more tune in with us and prepare to be 2020’d.
