* METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH AND ANTHRAX TO PERFORM TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY *

* THE BIG FOUR CONFIRMED FOR SONISPHERE POLAND AND CZECH REPUBLIC *

* MORE BIG FOUR APPEARANCES AT SONISPHERE SHOWS PLANNED *

The world wide web has been abound with speculation on a possible “BIG FOUR” tour for several months. Now, SONISPHERE can exclusively reveal that METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will play together for the first time in history, in a move that will have metalheads across the globe frenzied with excitement.

Says LARS ULRICH/METALLICA of this historic announcement:
"Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal's big 4 would not only still be around and more popular than ever, but will now play together for the first time...what a mind????! Bring it on!"

“It's about ????ing time this happened,” said SLAYER’s KERRY KING. “and about time the fans finally get what they want. This is ????ing awesome.”

ANTHRAX guitarist SCOTT IAN agrees, commenting on the enormity of the announcement.

“People have been talking about these four bands playing together since 1984. That's twenty-six years of expectation!!! And the thing is, I believe not only will we live up to the expectations, we will shatter them!! No other four bands as influential as the four of us have ever done this. Imagine if The Beatles, Stones, The Who and Zeppelin had done shows? Or Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Motorhead? Well, I may be getting into some rarified air here but as a fan, that's how big I feel this is.”

These four legendary acts broke out of the underground thrash movement to dominate the metal world in the 1980s, selling millions of records and packing arenas across the globe. The metal giants have never before all shared the same stage, despite huge demand. But on 16th June 2010, METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will take to the SONISPHERE stage at Bemowo Airport, Poland, to make the dreams of headbangers the world over become a reality. A second Big Four appearance is planned for SONISPHERE CZECH REPUBLIC three days later, with more SONISPHERE shows featuring the awesome combo to be announced in the coming days and weeks.

“This is a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity for Heavy Metal “Fans” to see the four greatest Heavy Metal “Bands” in American History back together on one stage” concludes MEGADETH mainman DAVE MUSTAINE. “If there are any heads left at the end of this Festival that haven’t banged, they don’t belong there.”

Are Megadeth and Anthrax really considered in the same league as Metallica and Slayer? I was a casual metal fan growing up, but never figured that was the case.

BTW, is Dave Mustaine still a tool?
 
I'd say Megadeth and Anthrax are a tier below metallica and Slayer. still they've been a part of metal music for a VERY LONG TIME...and there's no denyiny their contribution and influence they've brought to heavy metal music. SCOTT IAN IS THE mAn

dave mustaine is a tool, a rusty old tool, that can't even get his HOLY WARS solo right...very upsetting. I saw him not too long ago, he played for 2 1/2 hours and the Holy Wars solo was off, it was a real kick in the balls.

I saw them just a few nights ago in Davenport IA. Dave, Chris, Shawn, and James were all spot on with their playing. AWESOME SHOW!!!!!!!!!!:D

I even got to meet them before the show!!!!!!!!!! :rock :D
 
Metallica FTW!!!

Did it mention if they were doing a World tour or just EU?

saw Metallica about 9 months ago and they sounded slightly old...for lack of a better term.

mostly all Metallica shows give you the option to download (for about $10)THE LIVE SET LIST at the VENUE you saw and imort them into your itunes.

In person they were good, but the more i listed to their setlist (in my car, or on ipod) they sounded very old...not as much energy as they once had,...but hey, they're METAL GODS with a TON of miles on their tires!

eitherway, this is gonna be a KILLER SHOW

Switch the first two and I agree. And I'm talking Metallica before the albums Load and Reload.
 
Great show. Would love to see it....

Since Pantera was mentioned ....
Pantera >> Slayer >> Metallica/Megadeth/Anthrax

the last 3 tie for me depending on what moment in time their represented by.

Id be lying if I didnt say that whole dramatic counseling BS metallica went thru didnt taint my opinion of them. Not even going to mention St Anger ... oops .. I just did ... :monkey1

... and I do prefer John Bush Anthrax ...
 
Maiden, Priest and Queensryche greater than all those and I saw them together in concert.
 
too bad 2 of those four bands suck. like really bad. and i never considered Anthrax to be in this group. i really can't stand anthrax. they're not even in the same genre if you ask me.
 
Gotta say I am tired of all those bands...and I've seem most of them in their hay days.

Gimmi some sludge/doom/ metal...Electric Wizard, Ahab...Sleep

I agree with both of these posts for the most part. . .except take out Queensryche :D

So just to be clear:

Judas Priest >>>>>>> Iron Maiden > Pantera > Slayer > Metallica (mid-late 1980s) > Anthrax/Megadeth >>>>>>> Queensryche
