David Ellefson has opened up about the upcoming documentary on Nick Mendoza, titled This Was My Life: The Story Of Nick Menza.

He continued, "So when we did the interviews, reached out to people… Former MEGADETH guitarist Jeff Young actually really stepped in, too; he helped us get the facility where we filmed a lot of the interview
