dzaba sto je sada "christian", i sto se stalno moli, ipak je onaj stari seronja, s obzirom na nacin kako se rijesio lomenza:
"Was James Lomenzo getting ready to leave Megadeth when you asked Ellefson to join?
James had given us several years of faithful quality service in the bass and backup vocal position, and when this presented itself, it was hard to make the decision to tell him that we were going to do what was right for all of us, because I care so much about James. From a business point of view, Dave's my bassist. Always has been, always will be. Everybody that's been in the bass position for me, they've been brothers and I love them for it, but it's Dave's gig.
With James, he's a super-talented guy, he's a wonderful person and I know he's gonna do great at whatever he does next. He's played with some of the greatest players in the world -- excluding me. You look at his repertoire with Ozzy and Zakk Wylde, and what he did with David Lee Roth and White Lion. Those guys were enormous back in the day. So James has had a very illustrious career, and I don't think by any means the world has seen the last of James. And frankly, if I have any side projects coming up in the future, I want to be able to call up James and say, "You know what, dude? I need killer bass player with a great sense of humor to come do a couple of bass parts for me. Are you game?" And have him not say, "F--- you."
Was he understanding about the decision or was he hurt?
Well, I can't tell how he feels, but I believe he understood, and I know that he's gonna benefit from the records that are gonna be sold from the catalog. I think a lot of people are scratching their heads right now, thinking, "What's up with this Mustaine guy? We would never have believed he would ever do anything like this." And I think a lot of people that hated me because me and Dave parted, maybe they're gonna scratch their heads, too, and say, "We need to revisit this thing." And maybe they'll go back and look at the catalog. But one thing I do know is that interest in Megadeth just ratcheted up several degrees, and I like it. I'm glad Dave's here. It's a great time for him to be here. I missed him for a long time, and we got a lot of great things on the horizon, and I couldn't think of a better person to share it with."
