David Ellefson was recently interviewed by the "Music Mania" podcast. Ellefson: "I'll tell you, onstage, there's no one I'd rather be onstage with than Dave , because that guy totally has control of the venue and he's got control of the audience, he's got control... Dave is fearless on stage and he's at home on stage; that's really where you see the essence of him and you just feel his presence, and he's a commanding leader. And, quite honestly, the audience loves that — the audience wants to be led, they want to know someone's in command, and he's in command in the live show. So that's a beautiful thing."
