Ellefson's Lawsuit Against Megadeth Thrown Out

posted Jan 16, 2005 at 8:41 PM by deathbringer.  (5 Comments)

Robert Gearty of The New York Daily News has filed the following report:

The MEGADETH lawsuit that one founder of the thrash band lodged against the other is megadead.

Bassist David Ellefson had sued frontman Dave Mustaine for $18.5 million over the pair's bitter falling out. Manhattan Federal Court Judge Naomi Buchwald dismissed the lawsuit Thursday (January 13), saying Ellefson had agreed to a deal to resolve their various disputes after the heavy metal act broke up in 2002. Ellefson had maintained he backed out at the last minute.

The suit charged that Mustaine had been in and out of drug rehab at least 17 times and resented Ellefson because the bassist had managed to kick his own habit without a relapse.

The band reformed in 2004 without Ellefson.
