Full Ellefson vs Mustaine Complaint Available For Download

BLABBERMOUTH.NET has posted a copy of the 38-page complaint filed by former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson against the group's leader, David Mustaine, alleging the singer shortchanged him on profits and backed out of a deal to turn Megadeth Inc. over to him when the band broke up in 2002. Ellefson also accuses Mustaine of locking him out of merchandise and publishing royalties. Ellefson is seeking $18.5 million from Mustaine, including $10 million in punitive damages stemming from Mustaine's "libelous statements" on MEGADETH's web site "falsely accusing" Ellefson of trying to "extort" Mustaine in order to appear on the new MEGADETH record.

All I can say is that it's sad that they're no longer friends. Time was, these two were like brothers. But you know how brothers are : Sometimes they fight (Man, I sure do: I've had MORE than my share of spats w/ mine!). Anyways, take care Dave, and I'll be prayin' for the BOTH of ya, bro! :) Cheers! :)

Dave Mustaine is my favorite musician but also Dave Ellefson is excellent underrated bassist. I think for Ellefson to even file a suit against Dave is rediculous! What a waste of talent and band chemistry...for what? To whine over spilt milk! Come On Ellefson!!! Megadeth would be so much better with you than without. As a fan I hope that you come to terms that friendship is more important than money! I look forward to the possibility of your rebirth with MEGADETH.

A concerned fan,
Jerry
