"Kerry proved his god-like metal status and nailed it" - David Ellefson of Megadeth

MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson has issued the following update:

"We just finished the last show of the Jägermeister Music Tour in Los Angeles (Thursday, October 21).

Man, what a great tour we had with you all. The shows were pumped, the meet-and-greets energetic and the camaraderie between SLAYER, ANTHRAX and Megadeth has never been better. Proof of that was Kerry King joining us on stage last night for 'Rattlehead' on our encore.

Some may not know that Kerry was the first guitar player to ever play live with us on our maiden voyage shows in San Francisco back in early 1984. True to form, Kerry proved his god-like metal status and nailed it last night in front of a packed house of thrashers at the Gibson Amphitheater! It was powerful for us all to be 'thrashing 'till Megadeth' again on an early classic song after all these years.

We're chillin' the next couple weeks till our show at the AZ State Fair November 6, and then heading Down Under in December for our final shows of 2010.

Be ready for The Big Four box set coming out November 2. I can't wait to sit back and watch the festivities that happened that day from the comforts of my own couch. And, its just in time for Christmas...a perfect stocking stuffer for the metal community this holiday season."
