Tom Murphy recently conducted an interview with David Ellefson. "Megadeth (due tonight at the Fillmore Auditorium) may be one of the Big Four of thrash, but in many ways, its frontman Dave Mustaine is largely responsible for the sound and aesthetic of three of the Big Four. As a member of Metallica before that band recorded its first full-length, Mustaine's name could still be seen on songwriting credits through "Ride The Lightning". We recently spoke with David Ellefson who came back to Megadeth after an eight year absence, about the impact of Mustaine's guitar work on his peers, Penelope Spheeris and his reconciliation with Mustaine after a long hiatus from the band."
