**Ellefson** (David Ellefson) is best known as the legendary bassist and co-founder of thrash metal titans Megadeth, where he laid down iconic basslines from 1983 until 2021. After his departure from Megadeth, he’s kept busy with solo projects and collaborations, including his 2020 cover album *No Cover*, which pays homage to classic rock anthems. The tracklist you mentioned—featuring gritty takes on bangers like Queen’s “Sheer Heart Attack,” AC/DC’s “Riff Raff,” and Judas Priest’s “Metal Gods”—showcases his love for riff-heavy nostalgia and his knack for reinventing rock history with a modern metal edge. When he’s not slapping bass, Ellefson stays active in the metal community through podcasts, mentorship, and his coffee brand, all while keeping that unmistakable low-end groove alive.
