Megadeth Bassist Shares Metal Version Of Post Malone’s ‘Over Now’

Megadeth bassist David Ellefson recently shared a metal cover of Post Malone‘s “Over Now.”

The cover also features Thöm Häzäert on vocals, Andy Martongelli and Bumblefoot on guitars and Paolo Caridi on drums.

The song is set to feature in the upcoming debut album of Ellefson’s self-titled solo band.

The original version of the song, co-written by Mötley Crüe‘s Tommy Lee, featured on Malone’s 2018 album Beerbongs & Bentleys.

“We’re all fans of Posty, and he’s also been a huge fan of Megadeth and all things metal,” Ellefson said in a press release. “The old adage used to be that if you could strip a song down to just an acoustic guitar and a vocal, you probably had a great song.

“But times have changed now, that if you can take a song from another genre, and seamlessly transform it to a completely different genre, it just proves what a great song it really is,” he added.

Häzäert said, “I am honestly a huge fan of his stuff, his lyrics. I can honestly say, and I talk about it all the time, there is not an artist who has come out in a long time that has impressed or influenced what I do more than Post Malone.

“I think the emotions and dynamic of the song really lend themselves to the heavier arrangement. Posty is a Rock and Metal guy at heart, and I think ‘Over Now’ is definitely a Metal song at heart,” he continued.
