MEGADETH's DAVID ELLEFSON Talks JACKSON Bass Guitar In New Video Interview
May 12, 2011In the clip below. MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson shares how his thrash metal tone was born, takes us through the specs of his new signature Jackson bass, and recalls how a Jackson concert bass inspired the lick for "Hook And Mouth".
MEGADETH has tapped Johnny K (full name: John Karkazis; DISTURBED, SEVENDUST, MACHINE HEAD, STAIND) to produce the band's new album, tentatively due this fall via Roadrunner Records. The drum tracking for the CD began this week, with the entire recording process expected to be completed by the time the group hits the road this summer as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with DISTURBED and GODSMACK.
MEGADETH's platinum-certified 1986 masterpiece, "Peace Sells But Whos Buying?", has been digitally remastered for the first time and expanded for a special 25th-anniversary release in multiple configurations. It will be released July 12 by Capitol/EMI.
All of the versions, including a 2CD lift-top box, digital album and a deluxe 5Disc+3LP box set, contain a previously unreleased 1987 concert from the band's first world tour and new liner notes written by Mustaine and METALLICA's Lars Ulrich.
