Biography,Early lifeEllefson was born November 12, 1964 in Jackson, Minnesota. He is of Norwegian, German and English descent. He became an accomplished bassist and honed his songwriting skills while leading several of his own bands through the club scene of North Americas Midwest region before relocating to Los Angeles.First stint with Megadeth (1983–2002)Other than guitarist, vocalist, and primary lyricist Dave Mustaine, Ellefson was the only constant member of Megadeth from the time of their establishment in 1983 to the groups dissolution in 2002 (Mustaine subsequently reformed Megadeth without Ellefson in 2004). To differentiate between the two Daves, Mustaine referred to Ellefson as Dave Junior, which was often shortened to Junior. He appeared on every album and tour from 1985s record Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good! up until 2002s Rude Awakening. Ellefsons original playing style involved using his fingers, however, as Megadeth progressed and the music became more complex, he tended to prefer playing with a pick/plectrum. Ellefson was credited with some Megadeth songs, including Family Tree from 1994s Youthanasia (in the 2004 remastered collection of the CD however, the track is credited to Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman, Menza, but Dave Mustaine credited the Rust in Peace-era line-up with the entire Youthanasia album as a tribute to the bands success at the time of the records initial release).Feud with MustaineMustaine intended to release a solo album in 2004, which would ultimately become The System Has Failed, although due to contractual obligations, Mustaine ultimately released it under the Megadeth name. Subsequently, Ellefson and Mustaine had a severe legal disagreement over royalties and rights to Megadeths name and back catalog resulting in Ellefson filing an unsuccessful lawsuit. Though the two once enjoyed a close friendship, considerable animosity developed between Ellefson and Mustaine to the point that on Ellefsons website, Megadeth was not mentioned in his Biography, , only in the discography.In a mid-2005 podcast, Ellefson did not mention his past with Megadeth at all, instead concentrating on discussing his current projects. Mustaine felt Ellefson was unfairly using the Megadeth name when advertising an amplifier for Peavey. Mustaine claims to have had dinner with Ellefson around Christmas in 2005 to talk things through, this got them on good terms, as Mustaine has stated that they spoke on the phone numerous times afterward. In 2010 Mustaine and Ellefson agreed to keep any unresolved issues in the past and were working on building and maintaining their friendship again.Wikisource has original text related to this article:David Ellefson v MegadethSince this time Ellefson has gone on to say that he feels that having that time away created a realization for both of us that, while we are both productive individually, Megadeth is definitely stronger with both of us in it together.Post Megadeth career and return (2003–present)Dave Ellefson on stageEllefson formed F5 following Megadeths 2002 disbandment.
