How would David Ellefson compare making a Megadeth album in 2020 to recording during the band’s early years? Did Nick Menza introduce Ellefson to outdoor sports and a healthier lifestyle while recording “Rust In Peace”? How did he reconnect with longtime Megadeth producer Max Norman? Did the bassist give up playing golf in high school for a life in heavy metal? 

Find out in a new episode of “Tell The Truth (And A Lie)” - an interview series where musicians share two obscure facts about themselves and one fib that could fool even a diehard fan. Matt and Zach then have to use their music knowledge to determine which 2 facts are true and which is a lie.

And listen to part 1 of our chat with David in “There Goes My Hero” - where the bassist discussed why Megadeth insists on recording their new album in-person versus remotely, what Post Malone thinks of him covering “Over Now,” and how he hopes his “School’s Out” initiative will continue to help both new and established artists during the COVID-19 pandemic.
