DAVID ELLEFSON Reflects On MEGADETH's Failed 'Rust In Peace' Lineup Reunion: 'It Just Wasn't Meant To Be'
At the April 10 Los Angeles premiere of the fully authorized Nick Menza documentary "This Was My Life: Nick Menza's Metal Memories With Megadeth And Beyond", former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson spoke to IndiePower TV about the highlights of his time playing with the late MEGADETH drummer.
