Dave Mustaine was fired from Metallic and formed the MegadethIn 1983 Megadeth for the Metallic.

The story is told in the book just released The cutting-edge Speed Metal band in the world: The Megadeth Story 1983-2002by the journalist Greg plate. The work still has no precedents in Brazil.

The protagonist of the dance chair? David Ellefson. According to the same bassist – today outside the group – everything happened when Lars Ulrich went to a show of Megadeth Shortly after the death of Cliff Burtonbassist from MetallicAnd Ellefson Sondò at the post.

The musician was increasing, as well as the MegadethAfter the album exit Peace sells … but who is buying? (1986), the second of the band led by Dave Mustaine.

Ellefson Reports in the book (transcription via Definitive guitar), offering a small context:

“Here’s what happened: Lars (Ulrich) came to the show a Kaiser Auditorium In Oakland (10 October 1986). Just when the album Peace sells … It was released, we had five shows scheduled with the MotörheadAnd that was the tour of Orgasma (1986).

So complete:

“Cliff had just died in that bus accident. I mean, in a few weeks earlier. Exodus Come – I remember that the Rick Hunolt He was there. The Lars arrived, I think with the Steffan Chirazi (Journalist of Kerrang!). And I asked him what they would do. You know: “What’s going on?” And he made a kind of rhetorical and fun comment. He replied: ‘I don’t know. P#rra … do you want a job? ‘It was that kind of thing. It was not a serious offer. “

Dave Mustaine did not like the assault of the metal

According to David Ellefson, Capo Dave Mustaine did not like “harassment” for his bass player:

“I had mentioned it at Dave (Mustaine). And I think Dave reacted like this:” What is the cock? They are trying to get my bass player out. “Do you know what I mean?

Ellefson, however, admits that perhaps the episode is nothing more than a curious story about the bands behind -Cenes. According to the bassist, Lars did not really consider that he would enter the Metallic.

“But it was not a serious offer or something. So I think it was certainly exaggerated, only the fact that she was mentioned in the press, because it was not really that type of conversation.”

The chosen for the vacant place of the deceased Cliff Burton proved to be Jason NewStedfrom Flotsam and Jetsam. Recorded the next album, … and Justice for All (1988)and four other works in the 90s before leaving in 2001. Since then, Robert Trujillo Take care of the bass Metallic.

Another assault?

In a 2019 interview with Podcast The former man (Via Igor Miranda website), David Ellefson revealed that he was almost called to another hearing with metal. The opportunity took place in 2001.

“Lars (Ulrich, Metallica Drummer) contacted Dave (Mustaine) to ask for his permission, something I considered kind to his part. Dave called me and said he would hate to get lost, but as a friend, he could not stop him from this opportunity. So he gave the blessing, but I have never been called.”

Ellefson even prepared if he received the invitation. He ended not to roll, but the bass player continues to admire the metal.

“The first time, I played something simple from Black album (1991), AS ‘Saint of you’. It was the first time that I realized that, despite the similarity between Metallica and Megadeth, the riffs … Obviously, Dave was in the band, so there is a piece of DNA (metal) inside the megadeth, the shape that Dave has sentences Geddy Lee (Rush) In this. “
