1. Oh, yeah, how come he's not a co-founder? Does anyone remember other bass player in Megadeth before Junior? What are you doing Mustaine, change history?

2. Ha ha, so not only was Ellefson a founding member of Megadeth but he was a member of Dave's previous band Fallen Angel.
   Yet somehow Jr's not a founding member….yeah right lol

3. You're becoming the TMZ of metal. The bottom line is there's no Megadeth w/o Mustaine. So yeah!

4. Mustaine is a brilliant arsehole. However, most people would rather work with good competent people that are easy to get along with. No wonder Metallica kicked him out of the bad.

5. So Mustaine claims that there was a "no name bass player who just left" hhmmmmm🤔?
   I don't I think I believe that?

6. Mustaine: "The Me in Megadeth is referring to me. I don't see an and You."

7. Then again, Dave Mustaine is a chronic liar and mentally deranged.

8. I met both Daves… Mustain in 2001 just a couple days before the September 11 tragedy when they performed in Portland Oregon. Ellefson in 2018 Also in Portland Oregon when he was doing bassology. I have to say that meeting Ellefson was a better experience.

9. Drama Sells…..And You're Buying

10. Yes, there was another bass player, but that band was called Fallen Angels. And the vision for that band was to hire a singer.
    When Ellefson came in, he told Mustaine to sing and his friend told that they should call the band Megadeth.
    The band would’ve been very different with the original vision. The Megadeth we all know and love is here because those two guys met.

11. just cuz ur in an early line up or even the first,duznt automatically make u a founder

12. well duh

13. I dont wanna take sides but everybody who was around knows that story is kinda farty.

14. Gimme a break Dave!

15. Mustaines still a child it seems. What a clown act.

16. David didn't rejoin Megadeth until 2010 after Endgame

17. Everyone knows Dave was not the only founding member 🙄 Some of us were there at the beginning when Dave left Metallica. SAVE US THE DRAMA PLAY MUSIC!!!

18. Dave Mustaine is a great musician and a great composer, but his comments are making him suck more and more year after year.

19. I saw megadave again this week. I’ve seen em 6 times in life, 4 of those times were with nick and Marty. I hated seeing them open for ffdp it was insulting to real metal heads, and I can say that there was zero crowd energy at that venue and I do believe mr. Ellfison could have helped. Shame on that venue in Georgia, I took my little bro to see his first metal show and there were seats, what a joke ameris amphitheater, is please don’t visit Alpharetta unless you like horrible sound quality on a Monday night with 27$ shots and 45$ t-shirts and 75$ hoodies. Fkng disgrace to the metal community.

20. I mean..he did have the name and songs before Ellefson was ever in the band…

21. I bet Dave still cries himself to sleep at night knowing he got kicked out of one the biggest metal bands of all time, If not the biggest.

22. Mustaine claiming Ellefson not a co-founding member of Megadeth is like Kerry King claiming Jeff Hanneman never co-founded Slayer.

    So, wrong Mustaine!

23. He doesn't own any of the band. If he co founded the band, he would own half the band. Mustaine owns it lock, stock and barrel. Ellefson was merely a salaried employee, just like the guys on stage with Mustaine now.

24. 🎸🎸 is it just me or do i see and hear a grumpy old man ? 🎸🎸

25. Good. Glad MegaDave hired a bassist with integrity and class.

26. Ellefson didn’t join the band until 2010, not 2005. I think 2005 is when megadeth reformer after Dave’s injury.

27. The feud of the Daves goes on

28. Ellefson being in Megadeth is sadly over for good! He will never be back in the band!!!!

29. 1:45 Dave Gein

30. Ellefson DID NOT return in 2005. It was 2010 when they played the Rust in Peace 20th anniversary tour. Get your news right bro. This is fake metal news 😆 🤣

31. Cállese locico viejo endejo

32. The original Megadeth lineup was Mustaine on Guitars, Mustaine on Bass and Mustaine on drums.

33. Sounds like he'll back!!! I can't wait!!!

34. The whole sexual misconduct thing that Ellefson had going on the side kind of screwed himself on that as well. With Mustaine being a born again and trying to maintain an image.. I would have fired him as well… negative publicity isn't beneficial
