David Ellefson

Anthrax bassist Frank Bello and Megadeth bassist David Ellefson are legendary musicians in their own right, but the 'Big 4' thrashers have taken their music in a new direction with Altitudes & Attitude.

Students at an Arizona high school were given a massive treat when Megadeth's David Ellefson dropped by for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With the goal in mind of positively impacting the young minds, Ellefson shared stories of his past drug and alcohol abuse along with his continuous path of recovery.

It's not often that two legendary metal bassists come together to create a new project, but Anthrax's Frank Bello and Megadeth's David Ellefson have done just that with Altitudes & Attitude. We recently caught up with the duo to discuss the new band and its debut EP.

Fans and press alike have been more than critical when it comes to Megadeth’s latest release ‘Super Collider.’ Although the band stands by the disc, bassist David Ellefson recently shared some insight on what their next offering may hold.

Ellefson penned the autobiography over the last year with the assistance of writer Joel McIver and it's due out on Oct. 29 through Howard Books.

Megadeth's David Ellefson makes the most out of his bass strings on a nightly basis, but now he's found yet another use for them. The rocker is donating his used bass strings the Wear Your Music Organization so that they may turn them into bracelets.

Megadeth bassist David Ellefson has been busy at work on his official autobiography. The founding Megadeth musician is approaching the band's 30th anniversary along with frontman Dave Mustaine, the only other original member still with the legendary thrash act. The memoir, 'My Life With Deth,' will tackle subjects such as the band's road to iconic status, addiction and much more.

So, what do the guys of Megadeth do before a big show? Apparently, they search desperately for a Starbucks. Megadeth bassist David Ellefson just posted some behind-the-scenes footage from the band’s June 25 concert at Stadium Live in Moscow, Russia, and much of the clip involves Ellefson and Megadeth guitarist Chris Broderick searching for a spot to fill their cup of java.

Staind and Megadeth are two acts that have always saluted the service that America’s soldiers provide for our country. But Staind vocalist Aaron Lewis and Megadeth bassist David Ellefson aren’t content with just playing a few shows to put the spotlight on the military.
