Former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson appears to have a tough time making up his thoughts how he feels about former bandmate Dave Mustaine, flip–flopping frequently, however Mustaine doesn’t appear to have the identical hold-ups about his former bandmates. In a recently-posted interview with Bloodstock TV, Mustaine shared his feeling that ex-guitarist Marty Friedman is the one former member of Megadeth who’s “amounted to something.”

“[The recent reunion show at Budokan] did have a number of these feelings [of days past]. It did really feel prefer it was the great outdated days. Additionally, Marty has made fairly a reputation for himself on his personal since then. Of the entire ex-band members of Megadeth, Marty appears to be the one one which’s ever amounted to something. No offense to the opposite guys — that’s how the details are.

“When you have a look at their gross sales and stuff, Marty’s the one one which’s ever accomplished something important. And to have the ability to go over and go to him in his world… It was neat to see him out of his atmosphere. Plus, when he got here in, he was very suggestive on some issues to make the present actually easy. And he needed to go over all of the songs that we have been enjoying a number of instances to ensure every little thing was simply actually shit-hot.

“And, after all, Marty being in Marty vogue, he acquired on the market and he mesmerized us all, me included. I discovered it type of exhausting to look at him and do my job on the identical time, however I very a lot needed to only sit there and watch Kiko and Marty play collectively, as a result of they two are a few of the biggest guitar gamers in exhausting rock and heavy steel proper now, and to look at the 2 of them play collectively was outstanding.”

It’s clearly not a good declare to say that not one of the different former members amounted to something; they’ve performed in numerous notable bands and all of them performed on information for a member of the Huge 4. Nonetheless, Friedman has probably the most title recognition and Mustaine isn’t recognized for his flowery compliments. You possibly can watch video of the reunion right here.
