Jon Liebman of ForBassPlayersOnly.com recently conducted an interview with David Ellefson. David on the story behind Megadeth: "I knew as soon as I met Dave Mustaine> that he was the "real deal" and that together we would set out to form a band that would in fact become successful. That is not meant to be proud or boastful, but you could really feel it in the room that it was going to be big. Keep in mind, it didn't just "become" big. We worked our tails off for the success we've enjoyed. I think for most musicians, the payout of success isn't as important as the work you put into it because the work you put into it is part of the payout, the real enjoyment of doing what you love."
