Seems like Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson still has enough strength in him to rock, even after all these years. When asked by Spazio Rock whether he considered retirement, Ellefson replied:

“Well, I don’t picture myself far from the stage. I’ve been on a stage since I was a very young kid, even orchestra band in grade school. Since I was 11 or 12 years old I’ve been putting bands together and performing. This isn’t something that I do, it’s who I am.
“And retirement… Retire to do what? What would I do? This is what I do because it’s who I am. And I think it just changes a little bit. I’ve gotta be honest with you. I don’t really consider this work. I consider myself to be very fortunate to not have to have a job like pretty much my whole life. [laughs] This is a blessed life to be able to make a living playing guitar. Making music with my friends to go out and play for a bunch of friends. It’s pretty hard to call this work.

“I don’t look at it like work, I call it a vocation. On a vocation to something, you’ve sort of been blessed with. You’re kind of hardwired what it is you’re meant to do in life. And I think when you wake up and you are inspired and you go do that, that’s your vocation. That’s what you’re on the planet to do!”
