Megadeth in the Studio

According to a statement by Dave Mustaine, the recordings of David Ellefson on Megadeth’s new album will be replaced.

On his radio show “The Dave Mustaine Show” the leader of the group said that the bass in the upcoming 16th studio album will be recorded from scratch for all the songs by the new bassist.

“We are making progress. The record’s being completed, and we’re gonna have someone coming in in a couple of weeks to replace the bass tracks that we had. Which should be relatively quick because the person we’re talking to is a stellar bass player. And hopefully this will be an ongoing thing after the recording. Or we will find someone prior to the recording that will be our permanent guy going forward”, said Dave Mustaine.
