![]() The record’s being completed, and we’re gonna have someone coming in in a couple of weeks to replace the bass tracks that we had. “I just wanna thank you for all the kinds words and support as we get ready for this next tour and continue to hunt for a new bass player,” the MEGADETH leader said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). ![]() “It’s MEGADETH - it’s not RUSH, obviously - but in the field of what we do, there were these moments that I was just going, ‘Oh, my God.’ This is me as a kid going, ‘This is my Geddy/Neil moment right here.'”Įarlier today (Thursday, June 17), Mustaine announced during an episode of his Gimme Radio program “The Dave Mustaine Show” that Ellefson’s bass tracks will not be used on the new MEGADETH LP. “I feel like on the new MEGADETH record, me and Dirk have those same moments,” he said. A short time later, he raved about his performance on the record, telling the 96.7 KCAL-FM radio program “Wired In The Empire” that his musical chemistry with MEGADETH drummer Dirk Verbeuren was comparable to the interplay between Geddy Lee and Neil Peart on classic RUSH albums. I also really enjoy the first three Megadeth, especially So Far, So Good… So What! and Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying which are my favorite.Dave Mustaine says that David Ellefson’s long-completed bass tracks on the upcoming MEGADETH album will be removed and re-recorded by another bassist prior to the record’s release.Įllefson laid down his bass tracks on MEGADETH’s sixteenth LP in May 2020 at a studio in Nashville, Tennessee. ![]() In terms of what he thinks of the United Abominations album, Drover indicated: “I think it came out really well, it’s a very strong album, there are songs on there that I favour more than others of course but overall I think it’s a great album. So I guess Dave was overpowered on that sorry Dave but that’s how the story went.” But Dave didn’t want to do it. In the end what happened was me and Andy Sneap did a demo of it and send it for the record company and they said yeah we’re using this one. I remember doing this one solo on the first song on the album called ‘Sleepwalker.’ That song wasn’t going to make the album thank god it did because it’s pretty much one of the very a few up-tempo tracks because there were too many mid-tempo songs and we needed something that was going to be more of a fast. That’s what it was like for me I can only speak for myself. Dave was not singing all the notes in the solos he was just kind of mimicked the actual the melodies and the flow of the tempo of the solo. When it came to solos I would do something and then Dave would go why don’t you try something like this. I did my homework so much that he really didn’t question a whole lot. ![]() Record label “overpowered” Dave Mustaine into doing “Sleepwalker” song on Megadeth albumįormer Megadeth guitarist Glen Drover was recently interviewed by Jimmy Kay for Canada’s The Metal Voice and he spoke about working with Dave Mustaine on Megadeth‘s United Abominations album, which was released in 2007.ĭrover advised (as transcribed by The Metal Voice with slight edits): “ Dave, I got along with him really well, he wasn’t a taskmaster with me you know I always went in very very prepared.
