February 11, 2010 - DAVID ELLEFSON: "IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK IN MEGADETH!"



Greetings Droogies, Rattleheads and Everyone Around the World!

It is great to be back in MEGADETH! As you can imagine, it's been quite a week getting back in the saddle with a gazillion things to get a handle on before we hit the road.

We are rehearsing for the upcoming "Rust In Peace" 20th Anniversary tour this week at Vic's Garage, and I must say, the songs are ripping! Dave and I sound like we haven't missed a beat. We have a special style we've created together over the years and it just fell right back into place instantly. I've definitely missed his ferocious guitar playing....no one does it quite like him.

Chris Broderick is a fantastic player and Shawn Drover lays down a nice pocket that keeps the songs sounding like the records, which makes them a treat to play to. Overall, the studio is a great hang and kind of like a music boot camp with guitars, amps and drums at our disposal so we can always be playing and working on tunes.

As always, there are gear needs to sort out before a tour, especially with music this demanding and particular. The crew is working very hard to get the details in order now to ensure an amazing show.

I want to thank you all for your overwhelming support, congratulations and excitement on my return back with the band and I look forward to seeing you all at the upcoming shows. Be ready for "The Punishment Due"!


David Ellefson

Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches
But rest assured they're out there and they're coming
If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry
Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Above the ring of clashing steel, they raise flags of war
A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear
Amidst smoke of cannonballs, they bang the drums of death
Pound a cadence out for those who cannot see

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

[Acoustic Solo - Dave]
[Solo - Chris]

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

There goes my valentine again
Soaked in red for what she said
And now shes gone

Oh my god have i done it again
theres a pulse and its deafening.
I can't help what i hear in my head
it's the switch that i flick (when he says)

Hand of blood, i don't wanna feel, my heart is breaking
Hand of blood, i don't wanna see, my life is burning

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing , I saw you run
I saw you run away
is what i've done too much to take or are you scared of being nothing

There's a stain on my hand and it's red
oh my god am i losing it
I can't help what i've done or i said
It's the buttons i push (when he says)

Hand of blood, i don't wanna feel, my heart is breaking
Hand of blood, i don't wanna see, my life is burning

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take,
Or are you blind and seeing nothing, I saw you run
I saw you run away,
Is what i've done too much to take or are you scared of being nothing

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take, or are you blind and seeing nothing?
I saw you run
I saw you run away,
Is what i've done too much to take or are you scared of being nothing

voi helevetti ku on perseest

Endangered species, caged in fright,
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight.
The stage is set, now pay the price.
An ego boost, dont think twice.
Technology, the battles unfair,
You pull the hammer without a care.
Squeeze the trigger that makes you man,
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned...
The hunt is canned.

All are gone, all but one.
No contest, nowhere to run.
No more left, only one.
This is it, this is the countdown to extinction.

Tell the truth, you wouldnt dare.
The skin and trophy, oh so rare.
Silence speaks louder than words.
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn.
Liars anagram is lairs,
Man you were never even there.
Killed a few feet from the cages,
Point blank, youre so courageous...
So courageous.

All are gone, all but one.
No contest, nowhere to run.
No more left, only one.
This is it, this is the countdown to extinction.


One hour from now,
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever...and the rate is accelerating.

All are gone, all but one.
No contest, nowhere to run.
No more left, only one.
This is it, this is the countdown to extinction.

Im so alone
My heads my home
And I feel
So alone
You know
At last
I return to serenity

I DON'T GIVE FUCK IF YOU HATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
