Again…
The band’s leader Dave Mustaine announced Ellefson’s exit in a statement earlier today (Monday, May 24). He wrote: "We are informing our fans that David Ellefson is no longer playing with MEGADETH and that we are officially parting ways with him.
You knew this was coming(pun intended)…
A stroke of bad luck.
Banging underage groupies used to be a job perk in rock and roll, but you just can’t get away with it anymore.
These old-timers need to cool it.
He wasn’t even banging (or at least that wasn’t what the scandal was), haha! He was video chatting with some chick who of course saved the footage and shared it with others who of course shared it with… The Internet.
Has it been confirmed she was underage? Thought the girl said she was of age…And yeah I heard he was just cranking it via social media…still not cool if she was underage but there wasn’t any actual banging…
From what I read, girl saved it, showed/shared it with a friend who then spread it around. Woman says she’s of age and it was just some sexy time video chat. Ellefson being more religious and all that jazz burned him.
Considering reports relations were strained between him and Mustaine, it was an easy ‘I can boot him out now’ deal.
Seems like relations between those 2 knobs has always been strained…never been a big Megadeth fan…
The blabbers say kk is next!!
LOL I agree. Although I am a fan of a few select albums.
I’d read they were friends while she was underage and didn’t fuck until she was over age… but still avoid that situation. One of my friends at work was at a titty bar over the weekend where one of his former students worked. He had no idea she worked there 'til she came up to him. I’d have left the whole bar if that was me. “Sorry guys. I’ll wait in the car.”
I like Megadeth though I don’t think I’ve owned a single album past “Rust In Peace”. They’re still amazing live, but they’re one of those bands that is just one guy (Mustaine) to me and who he hires at any given time is inconsequential. That said, I would definitely get excited if Marty Friedman ever came back.
Marty is never leaving Japan…what was that one extra awful Megadeth album? Was it called Risk?..that was their Lulu haha…
I think RISK was pretty hated. I never gave it a try, but I think I liked a few of the songs from it that I’ve heard. The one that I thought was the absolute worst was SUPERCOLLIDER. You know it’s gonna suck just from the lazy album cover, but holy shit, it sucks in ways that you didn’t know possible. Really bad.
That is the one I was thinking of haha!!! Supercollider!!..horrible name,horrible album cover and I can only imagine how bad the music blows…
Just read Ellefson is pursuing “revenge porn” charges" against the person who leaked the video haha…Jesus,what a clusterfuck…
I heard some of it on a rock station on my way back from Vegas when the album was fresh. I had no idea it was Megadeth until the DJ at the end announced it. I was cringing and assumed it was some Butt Rockers like Stone Sour or Nickleback or something.
Wow that bad,huh?..sheesh…now I have to listen to it out of morbid curiosity…
i didn’t know anything about all this. i’ve never been a megadeath fan either.
so he was like a religious dude too and married? if tht’s the case… dude… you fucked up.
Yeah, he got all super-Christiany. He’s a minister even, I think.
