MEGADETH's JAMES LOMENZO Meets DAVID ELLEFSON

November 5, 2008

Bassist James Lomenzo (MEGADETH, ex-BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, WHITE LION) attended the Bass Player LIVE! convention, which was held November 1-2, 2008 at S.I.R. Studios in Hollywood, California.

Commented Lomenzo: "What a trip! I can't believe how many talented bassists there are out there. I saw pre-teens ripping it up, seasoned pros putting it across and some of my own personal heroes hanging out and taking it all in.

"Speaking of heroes, I had the pleasure of meeting someone whom I'm sure you guys would all be interested in: Mr. Dave Ellefson [former MEGADETH bassist] himself! It was really great to chat with someone whose legacy I have had the great honor to carry through for MEGADETH. What a treat to find out what a down-to-earth guy he is, and how ironic to meet him in the very same place where I had my first rehearsals with MEGADETH (S.I.R. Studios, Hollywood) round about three years ago. Lord knows I could have really used his help back then.

"Good fella and a class act!

"So, back to Bass Player LIVE!... Throughout the two-day event, I got to demo my signature Ashdown Hyperdrive distortion pedal to quite a few bassists. It was great to see the consensus of those who played through it was a 'thumbs up / gotta have one!'"
