David Ellefson Talks Acoustic Performance with Argentina's Rock & Pop

David Ellefson spoke to Argentina's Rock & Pop radio station about the band's acoustic performance on Tuesday, August 23 outside the Four Seasons hotel in Buenos Aires.

Regarding how the session came about, Ellefson said: "Dave sent me a message, a text morning, and said, 'Do you wanna join me and Kiko in thirty minutes do some acoustic on the lawn?' And I didn't have a bass, and Dirk, of course, didn't have drums, so it was very fun, very spur of the moment, very impromptu."

Asked if the members of Megadeth enjoy taking part in these unusual fan interactions, Ellefson said: "It's better than an autograph and better than a photo, 'cause the songs are what brings us all together, and to be able to sit there close and personal like that, and to get some sunshine on us after being in the dark. So it's fun, it's very spur of the moment. So it's not something that's planned, and I think that's what certainly the people of Argentina love these spontaneous moments from us."
