David Ellefson Returns To Megadeth Line-Up.

It’s a surprise and somewhat predictable. David Ellefson rejoins Dave Mustaine and Megadeth per the announcement on Monday February 8th, 2010. Megadeth is set to embark on “Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour” starting March 2010 and at this point in time are busy rehearsing every single song from the seminal record.

The return of Ellefson into Megadeth ranks means a departure for James LoMenzo who recorded “United Abominations” and “Endgame” in 2007 and 2009 respectively. So far there has been no explanation what really happened within Megadeth with regards to LoMenzo.

Dave Mustaine: “Big Four Tour; a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

I don’t really know what Dave Mustaine is really thinking, but I’m hoping to see the “Big Four Tour” becoming a reality. Dave McRobb (Megadeth.com Webmaster and Overlord) posted Mustaine’s October 21st, 2009 post on Megadeth.com homepage.

Paraphrasing Mustaine: “Big Four Tour; a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Does this mean Mustaine is open to the idea having Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax touring together?

I certainly hope so.

Well, the ticket price is likely to be on the expensive side.

Let the rumor fly!

Let them know that the Fans want this “Big Four Tour” to happen!
