We urge you to check out why the event, also available on YouTube and Facebook. And as a primer we have an hour with Megadeth bassist and co-founder David Ellefson. It’s sure to give you all the details on the show while discussing many other topics as well.

The interview weaves in and out, talking equally about the event and David Ellefson’s fascinating life and career. David may just be the most well spoken guest in We Talk Music history. He’s clearly very passionate about the SCHOOL’S OUT initiative, as evidenced by the upcoming show. But his philanthropic nature extends far beyond just this one evening.

The SCHOOL’S OUT initiative from the David Ellefson Youth Music Foundation provides instruments and celebrity lessons to children during Covid-19.

In addition, an acoustic show by David Ellefson and his solo band will play on the 10th and 11th of April. Proceeds from those shows, as well as those from the new single “Simple Truth“, will go to the Italian Red Cross, as they continue their efforts during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

So please listen to this show and share it’s message. Whether it’s David Ellefson explaining his beliefs on creativity, discussing his personal struggles, or giving his opinion on why it’s so important to help each other, there is never a dull moment of this interview. Other topics also covered include Dave Mustaine‘s charisma, and the effect growing up in a rural area had on him.

After hearing the show, we’re sure you’ll want to join him and his friends for the live stream. Be they musicians like Alice Cooper and his exceptional guitarist Nita Strauss, Chris Kael of Five Finger Death Punch, hip hop legend Darryl “DMC”McDaniels, or fellow Megadeth band mates Dirk Verbeuren and Kiko Loureiro, the music will be excellent. And with comedians like Don Jamieson, Jim Florentine and Craig Gass helping to host, it’s sure to often be absolutely hilarious too.
