In Megadeth he was the only one who never got fired - then walked away. They called him the Mustaine Whisperer because he was the only on the other Dave qwould listen to (usually). He also came up with the greatest bass riff of all time on Peace Sells. These days he's in Metal Church, he's got a solo cazreer, he's in Kings Of Thrash and a whole lotta other good trouble. His name is David Ellefson and he fucking rocks.

Skynyrd Crash Survivor MARC B FRANK
This is one of the most harrowing interviews I've ever done - and I've done too many.
In 1977, Marc B Frank was a Lynyrd Skynyrd road crew member. Today he is a wounded witness to one of the most devastating events in rock history, when on October 20, 1977, the Convair CV-240 passenger aircraft carrying Skynyrd to their next gig, ran out of fuel and crashed in a wooded area near Gillsburg, Mississippi.
Six died - including singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister, backing singer Cassie Gaines - and 20 survived in various states of injury, both short- and longterm. Marc was one of them. Please excuse his coughing, he was attached to a mask and oxygen tank as we spoke via zoom from his current home in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
You can see a video of the full unedited interview on my.patreon.com site.

Guns N' NIVEN pt2
Its interesting but I have never had anyone interviewed by me for my pod that has provoked a bigger response than those I've done over thr years with Alan Niven. It's the Guns N' Roses connection, of course. Also, don't forget, the fact he also managed (and cowrote songs with) Great White. But the truth is it's actually that and something more. His personality. His character. His intelligence and warmth. His humanity and humour and, I believe, the fact you never feel you're being talked down to or lied to. The very things, ironically, tragically, that convinced Axl he had to get rid of him. Alan speaks truth to poqwer - and not only when the world is watching. Let me know your thoughts.
