#274: David Ellefson (Megadeth, Altitudes & Attitude, Metal Allegiance)

David Ellefson of Megadeth, Altitudes & Attitude and Metal
Allegiance is our guest this week. We discuss the new Altitudes
& Attitude album Get It Out, the classic rock n' roll influence
behind the the songs and the writing process between he and Frank
Bello (also of Anthrax). We also talk about his realization that
the rock n' roll lifestyle is an illusion after finding success in
the industry, the difficulties he had adjusting to life in Los
Angeles after moving from his native Minnesota, the difficulties of
creating music during the '90s, the balance of serving the
mainstream and thrash communities, which reviled Megadeth record he
prefers more, Risk or Super Collider, and how he balances so many
different projects at once. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn discover
what incels are and create a divorce attorney for them, chime in on
the Gene Simmons vs. Ace Frehley drama, and discuss the rumors of
Tool's new record arriving in April. Songs: Altitudes and Attitudes
- “Get It Out” Metal Allegiance - “The Accuser” (featuring Trevor
