you know ive been thinking about this. This whole story of GNR is just like megadeth. Almost without the out right lay claiming to the name of the band. Megadeth went through the same thing. Elifson was booted out of the band because he had asked Mustaine for a larger profit, not even negotaited or anything just kicked him out. Right after an awesome album, for me The World needs a hero brought back the kick ass Megadeth from the middle period, late 80's earluy 90's. The newer albums are ok, but they're missing. The System has Failed was good, but just not right. Don't really care for the new album, its heavy and fast but empty i dont know, still think its David Elifson missing.
The whole story of how Elifson joined the band was one of the best stories of a metal band coming together. Living underneath Dave Mustaine playing Running with the Devil base line early in the morning waking him up, and then throwing a flower vase from what i remember on his air conditioner. pretty funny. I dont know that just seems like a lot of parrallel's. I still think Dave should change the name from Megadeth to something else. Doesnt feel like Megadeth anymore.
