Gary Action JacksonHOST
Just, you know, what would it have been like if he had somebody to sing for him? And maybe if you'd had one other guy who was kind of your right-hand music director, something like that to, you know-
Mack BHOST
You mean like a Dave Ellefson?
Gary Action JacksonHOST
Well, yeah.
Gary Action JacksonHOST
But I mean-
Jarvis LeatherbyGUEST
King Diamond could not use his full stage set.
Jarvis LeatherbyGUEST

Gary Action JacksonHOST
You mean like a
Mack BHOST
Dave Ellefson?
Gary Action JacksonHOST
Can we do that better? Does this sound different if we do it this way? I just feel like the way that he's programmed and getting kicked out of Metallica, it was, did we do it this way? Either you want to do it or you're out of here, and that's just it.
Mack BHOST
No, yeah, you're absolutely right.
KevinHOST
Mustaine retained sole writing credits, though suggestions were accepted by the other three members of the band along the way.
KevinHOST
Mustaine and bass guitarist Dave Ellefson were both homeless during the time, something which crept into the lyrics in some places and made it difficult for them to remain focused.
KevinHOST
Along with this, Chris Poland, who had missed the preceding tour due to his drug addiction and had only just returned to the band for the album's recording, was frequently late or missing when it came to the studio sessions, along with Gar Samuelson, who shared his own heroin addiction at the time.
KevinHOST
With a recording budget of just $25,000, it made things tight, and constant delays did not help with the recording or the mood of the two Daves.
KevinHOST
Black magic and instructions for hexes are bound through the track, retaining the thrash metal elements in the music without playing so fast it is impossible to keep in time.
KevinHOST
It binds together brilliantly in this respect with the opening track, a true maturing of the songwriting and the musicianship of the quartet.
KevinHOST
Peace Sells is a classic in its simplicity, beautifully held together by Dave Ellefson's wonderful bass line rumbling along underneath, the simple but effective drum and guitar riff, while Mustaine stands on his soapbox and pontificates on his vision of the world as he sees it.
KevinHOST
It also comes with the perfect lines for the crowds to cry back at the band during concerts, an easy form of hero worship through the lyrics.
ChrisHOST
Or D- David El- ...
ChrisHOST
That's what it is, David Ellefson from, uh, Megadeth.
PeterHOST
Megadeth, former Megadeth bassist.
ChrisHOST
Yes.
Matt RogersHOST
That was, of course, Megadeth, in keeping with the letter M this week, Symphony of Destruction from 1992's Countdown to Extinction album, featuring the classic Megadeth line-up.
Matt RogersHOST
Of course, Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman on the guitar, Dave Ellison on the bass, and the late Nick Menza on the drums.
Matt RogersHOST
Great album, and that's their signature song.
Matt RogersHOST
And before that, Bri...
