Founding member of the multi-platinum group Megadeth talks about the early days of the web.
What was it like having a website in the early days of the web? On today’s show, Megadeth bassist David Ellefson explains how Megadeth got on the internet and why it started with the domain name MegadethArizona.com instead of Megadeth.com. He also talks about changes in the music business model, and some of the upheaval might provide lessons to the domain business. Ellefson also explains why he started his most recent business online instead of with a physical location. You’ll love this episode.

It should be noted that they let the original domain expire and they re-registered it in 1999; it dropped several times since.
