Former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson is enjoying his newfound freedom by flaunting his love for Metallica. In a recent interview, Ellefson playfully revealed that, now that he’s no longer part of Megadeth, he can finally wear his Metallica shirts without any reservations.
Ellefson, who was a co-founder of Megadeth, left the band in 2021 after a leak of personal videos led to controversy. He expressed his gratitude for his time in Megadeth but has also shown a humorous side when discussing his post-Megadeth life.
The friendly rivalry between Megadeth and Metallica, two of the “Big Four” of thrash metal, is well-known in the rock and metal community. Ellefson’s comments playfully underscore the relaxed atmosphere he now feels regarding such affiliations, as he looks forward to new adventures and musical projects.
Fans of both Megadeth and Metallica have appreciated Ellefson’s good-natured take on the situation, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the music without unnecessary feuds.
