David Ellefson Turns the Mic Around: Launching a New Podcast with Rock Icons
Former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson has plenty of stories from his incredible career. He’s been in tons of interviews, but now he will be the one asking the questions. Ellefson has just announced a podcast called “The David Ellefson Show” with co-host Joshua Toomey. The bi-weekly show will be in a video format that debuts on March 3rd on YouTube.
A press release says the show will offer listeners a “front-row seat to captivating conversations, insightful stories, and entertaining anecdotes from Ellefson’s remarkable 40-plus-year career.” Guests on the podcast will include musicians, celebrities, and music industry professionals.
“I’ve been a guest on countless podcasts over the years, and they’ve become essential in connecting artists with audiences, replacing much of traditional media,” says Ellefson. “I’m excited to build a community where we can dive into discussions about music, entertainment, lifestyle, and everything in between.”
Co-host Toomey has his own podcast and is the bassist for the nu-metal band Primer 55. “David has always been a must-listen guest on podcasts, so it’s only natural that he’s now hosting his own,” he said. “He’s a wealth of knowledge — not just about his own career, but the music industry as a whole. I’m excited to share these episodes with rock and metal fans around the world.”
The first episode features an interview with Anthrax bassist Frank Bello. Although it launches on most platforms on March 3rd, the episode is already available on the podcast’s Patreon page.
