Former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson is sharing his opinion on the recent announcement that Slayer is reuniting for three festival appearances this September and October.
In a new interview, he said, “It’s inevitable. Look, I don’t know their reason for it. At some point, this is what you’re on the planet to do. They’re my friends, so I’m happy for any successes they have. If they’re worn out and they want to quit, I’m happy for that, too. But if they’re rested up now and getting ready to go play — go play.”
He went on to say, “There’s all this controversy around Pantera [reforming with a new lineup and going back on the road]. Fans still want to hear these songs. Regardless of what you call it, people still want to go hear those songs. Farewells are just a temporary goodbye.”
