Ellefson Z'Nuff Revive Cheap Trick Classic with "Downed" Remix
Former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson and ENUFF Z'NUFF's Chip Z'Nuff have joined forces as ELLEFSON Z'NUFF to reimagine a timeless rock anthem by CHEAP TRICK. Their rendition of "Downed," originally a hidden bonus track on Ellefson’s 2020 album No Cover, has been remixed and is now widely available on all digital streaming platforms.
The track features an impressive lineup of talent:
Vocals: Chip Z’Nuff
Bass: David Ellefson
Guitars: Drew Fortier
Drums: Mike Heller
Guest Vocals: Vin Dombroski
Produced by Ellefson and Drew Fortier, the song was mixed and mastered by Alessio Garavello at Rogue Recording in London, England.
Ellefson shared his thoughts on the collaboration: "It’s always exciting to dig into our record collections and honor the artists who shaped us. CHEAP TRICK are true icons, and 'Downed' is one of those underrated gems that left a lasting mark on me and countless others. These covers are our way of celebrating the songs and musicians who’ve influenced our journeys."
