MEGADETH's DAVID ELLEFSON: More Footage From New York City Clinic Posted Online
March 21, 2011MEGADETH's David Ellefson and ANTHRAX's Frank Bello took part in the first of two joint Hartke bass clinics this on February 25 at Sam Ash in New York City.
A four-minute report from Hartke featuring footage from Ellefson's portion of the New York City clinic can be viewed below.
MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will join METALLICA and SLAYER for the U.S. edition of the touring rock festival featuring the "Big Four" of 1980s thrash metal on Saturday, April 23 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine revealed during an online chat in November with members of the band's official fan club, Cyber Army (formerly MegaFanClub),that MEGADETH had "five songs almost finished" for its next studio album. Mustaine was also scheduled to go over the new material at the band's Vic's Garage studio in San Marcos, California with engineer Ken Eisennagel, who previously worked with MEGADETH during the pre-production phase for 2009's "Endgame" and 2007's "United Abominations" CDs.
Mustaine said in a recent interview that MEGADETH's new album is shaping up to be "more like 'Endgame', maybe sticking in that vein and going a little forward toward what I like."
Speaking to Australia's FasterLouder, Mustaine said he preferred "Endgame"'s more aggressive moments. "We were forced, in a way, to have to do certain things and it's really easy for me to blame somebody, but at the end of the day it was my fault, I could have said no, but I didn't," he said. "I was nervous that we were going to end up getting kicked off the label. I figured I would rather go underground and play what I like, and not sell as many records, but still be able to look myself in the face in the morning."
