Metal Church and Megadeth both played the main stage at Louder Than Life on Sept. 17. Ellefson described watching Megadeth perform as a rearview mirror moment.

Ellefson said he was not in Megadeth for five years and has moved on. He said that watching Megadeth felt like Dave Mustaine with three other guys playing the songs. Ellefson said Dirk Verbeuren sounds great and is a fantastic player, and that James LoMenzo has a different tone and is his own player.

Metal Church is currently on tour in support of 2026's Dead to Rights.
