#378 Today's Boondoggle- David Ellefson stays Mega Busy

🎤 David Ellefson on Metallica, Cliff Burton & The Final Megadeth Tour?

Buckle up, Boondoggle fans—this one’s a wild ride! Bill sits down with his longtime friend and founding member of **Megadeth**, the legendary **David Ellefson**. From growing up on a farm with big dreams of becoming a fireman, to discovering Rock N Roll through Gene Simmons and KISS, David takes us back to his earliest inspirations on bass guitar and those “cool kid” moments in the River City Band. We dive into the formation of *Killers*, the big leap to Hollywood, and the early, gritty days of building Megadeth alongside Dave Mustaine.

David also opens up about his connection to Metallica, paying tribute to the late *Cliff Burton**, and what it was like to perform at **Ozzy Osbourne’s final show**. But Ellefson’s story doesn’t stop at music—he’s an entrepreneur, author, filmmaker, and even runs his own coffee company! We talk about the **Kings Of Thrash Tour**, his latest project with Jeff Scott Soto, and the burning question: *would he join a final Megadeth tour?

If you’re a fan of rock, thrash, metal history, or just love a good story of chasing dreams and building legacies, this episode is one you can’t miss!

Could David Ellefson’s journey prove that chasing every dream—no matter how wild—leads to legendary stories?
