Former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson seems to have a hard time making up his mind how he feels about former bandmate Dave Mustaine, flip–flopping on a regular basis, but Mustaine doesn’t seem to have the same hold-ups about his former bandmates.

Armed with big riffs and a love for bands like Sleep, Mastodon and Torche, their debut album, Thousand Petals, is a jammer that will definitely appeal to fans of the aforementioned bands, or just stoner rock and doom

Why is it that the people who have access to cable TV news spots and massive platforms that make them completely uncancelable always complain that they’re being canceled?
