M: DAVE MUSTAINE: 'I Really Am Enjoying Who I'm Discovering Myself To Be' -
i bet he only invited elephant man back so he'd get more interviews (after the new album ones dropped off) so he could continue to go on and on and on and on and on about himself
J: True, though he could at least say he's happy for dave jr to be back -but he's not mentioned it, i think BM had three articles yesterday about dave jr saying how happy he was. it kinda seems like two people have got back together, but one one of them is happy and the other don't give a shit.
like you said last night, it's not as though MD are gonna release some amazing record now - the next one won't be for another two years give or take.

M: and it's not going to be amazing! people are creaming themselves over this like elephant's gonna return megadeth to their youth...he's a MUSICIAN, not a MAGICIAN.
J: sadistic magician :D
and he's only a bass player at that ;)

M: hahah :) i know! as if megadeth rely on bass? i know he's a key member to some of the classic albums but he'll only be able to make a difference if dave lets him....which is exactly how it always was anyways. megadeth not sounding like megadeth is down to dave mustaine and that's a fact.
J: > i know! as if megadeth rely on bass?
that XD
as if any band rely on bass, rly.
dave jr was an original member from the start and stuck with megaman along way, i think that's why ppl are getting excited, but megaman calls all the stuff in megadeth, it's not like you go into MD as a band member, it's not your band, never will be, and there's no chance of you feeling at home there.

M: exactly. tbh, i don't feel like this is a big deal at all, i think it's kinda sad. sad for elephant man because he seems real happy but i don't think it'll do his career any favours (i mean, he'll get more famous, but he ain't gonna be on an awesome album again any time soon) and i think dave is just doing this for the publicity/for business.
J: > kinda sad. sad for elephant man because he seems real happy but i don't think it'll do his career any favours
this. he might be getting more money than he's on, or feel that he's in a "safer" place than he was before (ie doing youtube tutorial videos on how to record) - though it's the same with rob trujillo - he's on more dosh than he was now, but it's not the best place to be.

because dave is, was and always will be a selfish arrogant cunt :/

I'm happy about this for a couple of reasons.
ReplyDeleteOne, I met Dave Ellefson last year at a comics convention of all places. He was selling autographs for 20 bucks a pop. To me thats about as low as you can go. Sure he was doing web videos and he had projects like Hail and F5 but they were going nowhere. But he was still the coolest, most genuine, person you could meet.So I'm happy that he's back with a group that he's known for and hopefully Mustaine won't screw him over again(yeah ,right)
Second I saw Megadeth for the UA tour and it was lame. The only other person I recognized was Lomenzo on bass. The dude from White Lion of all things. I'm waiting on the American Carnage tour in September so I can actually see Megadeth again with at least one other founding member and actually have it feel like Megadeth and not the Dave Mustaine band.
It's funny you should say that - after I posted this, I realised that Ellefson will make a big difference to the live show. I've seen Megadeth a few times live and they're up there with some of my best gigs ever - getting to see Dave and Dave Jr. together on stage would actually be really fucking sweet.
ReplyDeleteIs it me, or is Dave Jr turning into Burton C Bell in the above pic?
