I wouldn't say that David is the best bassist. Nor would he ever claim to be. But his sound is so recognizable that it really made Megadeth what it was in its' golden years. Thank you David Ellefson.
That album was the base of what came later in Rust In Peace, but the production quality was not the best and that hurt a lot on the end result., even Peace Sells had better production.
The band lost a lot of edgness without Poland and Samuelson. The others guys are good, but line-ups like the first and Menza-Friedman are pretty rare to find, llike the perfect chemistry @@GuitarGrind
it was just more messy than rust in peace, still such a killer album though, very dark and crazy, Mustaine was out of his mind on drugs during the making of it.
Love this guy. Megadeth is a better band than they've been in a while, but the true, natural sound of that band needs not only Ellefson's bass, but his backups. I'm so sick of the smoke this guy gets for not even close to what others in the industry have done forever. I worship Mustaine, but Ellefson is for me, as irreplaceable as Megadave.
Cancel culture got a hold of David and ruined him. I am not okay with that. David is one of the nicest guys in the business and did not deserve what he went through.
@@crtl5911 It was cancel culture, and she was not underage. Even if she was, the libtards wouldn't care. They went after him because he's a straight, White, Christian male. Notice how they never say anything about the hordes of arab grooming gangs.
@@razmatazz9310 I mean, Aside from Megadeth, He still has sponsors, music projects, participated in a lot of interviews and Music related activities like this video; and above all, is still in the Public Eye. So yeah, his career is fine all things considered.
@@simplebutnotsolongname6642 As I said, debatable. He is irrelevant when he's not talking about Megadeth. That's why he is touring living room-sized clubs in Eastern Europe.
@@razmatazz9310 I mean, no duh. Megadeth was largely his life. As long as he has that, he’ll continue to be relevant. It’s no different than Mustaine’s attachment to Metallica; can’t go one interview without his association with them brought up. And Kings Of Thrash have started playing theatres shows in the U.S., so they’re moving up there.
@@simplebutnotsolongname6642 Mustaine would still be relevant if he never mentioned Metallica again, though. In any case, I'm not here to trash talk Dave. He does have a legacy even if his new stuff is of no interest to me.
I’m lucky enough to have one of these from the kings of thrash tour (Ellefsons guitar tech set it up) it’s my favorite bass now, it’s so comfortable and it sounds incredible! Just an unbeatable instrument! (Also my favorite Megadeth song)

The most recent concerts I've seen Megadeth play......once on the Dystopia tour, once with Scorpions , three times with The Hu and also three times with Lamb of God.....Megadeth is pretty much a cover band now. I've seen David Ellefson (Kings of Thrash band) play live twice and they sound more like Megadeth than Dave Mustaine's Megadeth.
@@bthonk He was literally just jacking it bro...both parties have confirmed it was 100% consensual, don't blindly hate on him/the situation when you (at least on the surface) seem to be uninformed.
Damn the main riff I wanted to see was behind the lead/solo line - all the tabs are garbage for that riff and it's tricky to hear whats going on! Can you do a part 2? lol!
I remember listening to this song on a mixed tape called Thrash Metal or something like that back in the late 80's probably. This was the only song I remember...there might have been an Anthrax song on there too...and Slayer maybe. lol. Anyway, that is how I was introduced to Megadeth and from there I started buying their albums and have been a fan every since. I still play along to Hook in Mouth at every jam session.
Ellefson needs to work on his narcissistic resentment game. He's not supposed to say the name of the song or the band. He needs to refer to them as "my previous band" and claim that he actually wrote the song ... but that he doesn't recall the title.
I play bass with a pick too and his signature strings are awesome. Jackson dropped the ball on this vid though. They didn't mention the original 80's bass model version or this new one bar "anniversary reissue" model. Reissue of what? Lol
Loving that song since, well, for me 1991. Awesome bass, no 1 metal bass player of all time, id say. And speaking of banjo, if you told me you were related to Steve Martin, id fine it beleiveable

Elefson was the best bass player in the thrash scene/era
Dave is up there he just knows how to keep it tight and plays only what the song needs
Dave I love you
Bass lessons from a legendary player?! Wow yeah he’s bad ass
Yes! SFSGSW is a underrated, overlooked album. It's killer!
That album was the base of what came later in Rust In Peace, but the production quality was not the best and that hurt a lot on the end result., even Peace Sells had better production.
It used to be my least favorite Megadeth album... After the remaster, it's actually pretty good.

I love the way Ellefson explains things and plays. Hook in Mouth is a great song, especially the muted guitar solo riff the tone is just soooo goood.

Dave has some epic and intricate bass lines on Megadeth songs, it's a total shame he's not on the band anymore.
Yeah, but he couldn’t have stayed, it would’ve been a bad look for megadeth
@@ginge5018 Yes, how dare a member of Megadeth love another adult person in their free time? That would look bad on Megadeth!!!
@@Groaznic yeah that wouldn’t have been a problem if there weren’t videos floating around of him spanking his monkey
He was also with Soulfly

Great to see Junior back, this is a cool song and the bassline is solid.

Essa música é um clássico do thrash. Feliz que a Jackson trouxe o Ellefson para nos trazer mais sobre esse clássico.

Ellefson's bass tone sounds way too thin.
@@tun-tunninc.6492 it cuts through the mix more than other bassist's tone (im sad about cliff burton's bass tone)
@@bthonk meaning Ellefson's gain is low. Giving u more of a standard guitar players tone.

Good to see David, he inspired me a lot to play the way I do.
When I was 18 that record make me bought my first Jackson bass and now I got 6.
One of my favorites. Thanks for the video
Now that was an awesome video and I want that Jackson bass
Love more of this type of understanding of the old songs

just now realizing the megadeth songs ellefson is credited with composing have always been some of my favorites. interesting
