MTV Use Of Iconic “Peace Sells” Bass Line Surreal
Hardrock Haven: (Megadeth Bassist David Ellefson)
“It was quite shocking actually, especially because we were just coming up the ranks and were not the big MTV icons at the time. That bass line has certainly been the subject of many great conversations over the years, that’s for sure!”
Dave Mustaine told Rolling Stone that he never received any royalties for their usage of ‘Peace Sells‘… “They didn’t give me a penny. They cut it off right before they’d have to pay me, which was very clever. I don’t think anybody with a conscience at MTV did that – it was probably somebody in their legal department.”
