In essence, the introduction, verses &amp; chorus of \u2018Bullets Ready\u2019 came from playing along to one of Nick\u2019s energetic grooves. During the So Far, So Good\u2026 So What! tour, it was often David, Nick &amp; myself that would conduct the soundchecks. It was a surreal &amp; nostalgic feeling to be playing along and writing riffs with my long, lost friend. Nick\u2019s playing inspired so much of this song and his spirit is forever encapsulated inside this recording.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kings Of Thrash feat.

The event was honoring the legendary \u201cBig Four\u201d of thrash metal \u2013 Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax.<\/p>\n<p>During the evening, Ellefson and Young performed three classic Megadeth songs alongside vocalist Chaz Leon. The electrifying performance sparked an immediate chemistry that led to the formation of Kings Of Thrash.<\/p>\n<p>The band was built around a concept envisioned by Ellefson: creating a live experience celebrating early Megadeth albums and rarely performed deep cuts from his decades-long tenure with the thrash metal pioneers. This vision became known as \u201cThe MEGA Years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In November 2022, Kings Of Thrash took to the stage with four proof-of-concept concerts in San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Hollywood. Their performance at the Whisky A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip was filmed and recorded resulting in the acclaimed release The Best OF The West \u2013 Live at the Whisky A Go-Go. The double live album and DVD were released by Cleopatra Records in Spring 2023 in both digital and vinyl formats.<\/p>\n<p>Original Music:<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Cleopatra Records released the band\u2019s first thrash\\punk inspired trek, \u201cLockdown.\u201d With its accompanying music video, directed by KOT drummer Fred Aching, the group distinguished themselves as more than just a nostalgic tribute band.<\/p>\n<p>The new music video for \u201cBullets Ready\u201d was shot in Hollywood, California and again, directed by Fred Aching. Additional scenes were filmed at the infamous Nelson Valley Ghost Town in El Dorado Valley, Arizona \u2013 the same location as seen in the movie, 3000 Miles to Graceland.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the progressive strains of \u201cBullets Ready,\u201d Kings Of Thrash continues expanding its musical scope, while performing worldwide on their massive Global Thrash Tour.
