The lead singer of Megadeth has sued the band's former bass player for allegedly using the name of the group without permission in an ad for musical
equipment.
David Mustaine claims in the lawsuit filed Monday in Superior Court that he and David Ellefson entered into a settlement agreement in February that
restricts the guitarist's use of the band name.
"Ellefson shall not use, or authorize anyone else to use, the work or mark `Megadeth" to advertise, market or promote any person, band, company,
organization, product or services without Megadeth's prior express written permission," according to the lawsuit.
Mustaine said an ad in this month's issue of Bass Player features Ellefson holding a pedal tuner for bass guitars and includes the names of several
bands he is involved with ? including Megadeth.
Mustaine is seeking unspecified compensatory, punitive and exemplary damages.
Megadeth was founded in 1983 and released a greatest hits album, "Back to the Start," last month. Ellefson appeared on albums from 1985 to 2002 until
he got into a disagreement with Mustaine and refused to rejoin the band last year.Jason the Magnificent - 7-26-2005 at 12:55 PM

Some Kind of Monster. I saw it. They edited it so that Mustaine looked like a douf who wishes he was still in Metallica. What they didnt show was
Lars bawling his eyes out like a little girl. Mustaine just got a little choked up.
And Ellefson already sued Mustaine for something like $8 million and lost. He was trying to get more money in royalties. Sounds like he was doing
the same thing again. It also seems very petty.XHonusWagnerX - 7-26-2005 at 04:05 PM

Nah. Im pretty sure Megadeth rules. If they dont now then they still have leftover awesome points from when they put out Rust in Peace.
Anyway, as for Dave Mustaine.... never met the guy, but he sure can play guitar.gavin - 7-26-2005 at 05:15 PM
