Doctor J Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 David Ellefson co-founded Megadeth in the early-80's and was with the band until they split in 2002, after which he tried to sue the other co-founder and failed. The band reformed a couple of years later and he was not part of the party until he returned as a hired goon in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Paul McCartney, died 9th November 1966, replaced by a lookalike early in 1967. Opinions vary as to whether or not this constitutes a reinstatement, but John Lennon apparently thought it was, so that's settled. Next question, please? 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside downer Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Glen Matlock? Sacked by the Sex Pistols in early 1977, rejoined in 1996 for the Filthy Lucre reunion tour as his replacement Sid Vicious was somewhat unavailable having died in February 1979. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such was younger and prettier so was the 'face' of the earlier live stuff and publicity material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Craig Adams left and re-joined the Mission. I can't remember his name but the original bassist is back with Ratt... problematic in that I am now the one who has publicly raised this!
