We went to Crue Fest a while back, and while Godsmack was great opening for them, Crue sucked so much shit. all of us stood there in our spots/seats, just looking at each other like".....WTF is this". It was awful. Fast forward a few years later, and we dropped good money to see GNR w/ Axl; knowing it was only Axl from the original lineup. My god...it was awful. It was ALL Axl and kick drum. you couldn't even hear any of the guitars, no bass..... so bad.
wife and I just went to the lobby of the Midland Theater and hung out, had some beers waiting for it to end and the rest of our group to come out. was so bad I couldn't even bring myself to sit through it.
I think I was at both those shows, lol. Godsmack came out and tore it up (their sound is made for live shows), and then Cruw came out and played the entirety of the Dr. Feelgood album for its 20th (25th?) anniversary. They were ok, but you can't follow a fierce live show with Dr. Feelgood. And that GnR show was adisaster. They started like 2 hours late iirc, and everything was so freaking loud it just ruined the show. Ha, memories.

The Queensryche version with Tod LaTorre is actually really good if you get the chance to see them. He sounds identical to Tate circa 1986, and they play all the older harder stuff because of it. Kind of cool to hear those memory hole songs again. [Reply]

Ellefson, who is a minister, has a wife and several children, including a 22 year old daughter that was in the room next to him while he was jerking it to the 19 year old on the other end of the video chat.
There are unsubstantiated rumors at this point that he was trying to get underage girls, as young as 13, to masturbate with him on Instagram, which left Mustaine with no other options than to fire him from the band.
Yeah, David has some issues he needs to sort out. Cutting him from the band was the right thing to do, for his own sake.
It's sad, I've actually worked with him on some ministry stuff as part of a metal group I'm in. It's always tough when these guys get exposed because nobody remembers that they're people with faults, just like everybody else. [Reply]

Considering the climate today, Mustaine did not have a choice of whether or not to fire him because Megadeth has a new album coming out soon.
Keeping Ellefson would have caused a serious amount of backlash, which would have affected ticket and album sales.
After DM's bout with cancer, the guy is ready to hit the road and prove that he's still got it.
The last thing he needs is this nonsense hanging over everything. [Reply]

So Ellefson was performing a symphony of destruction on his own junk. [Reply]
