    The Big Four

    12/14/2009

    Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax . . . the rumors are true!

    You've been posting and chatting about it for months and we're here now to confirm it . . . Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax will all share the same stage for the first time EVER! Look for the four of us at the Sonisphere shows in Warsaw, Poland and Prague, Czech Republic on June 16 and 19, 2010 with a few more of the festival dates still in the works, you can be sure these shows won't be the only ones.

    In the words of Lars: "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 mindfuck! Bring it on!"

    What more can we say??

    For more info, check out the Sonisphere Festivals site.

    "Official" press release below:

    * 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 mindfuck! Bring it on!"

    "It's about fucking time this happened," declares SLAYER's KERRY KING. "and about time the fans finally get what they want. This is fucking 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."

  14. Holiday traditions!

    The Blues 106 and Jazz 106 Christmas editions on Chez 106.

    Jazz is my favourite delivery medium for Christmas music (thanks to Brian and his Christmas shows), this time every I mourn not only the loss of those two shows from the airwaves, but now the loss of Brian Murphy himself.

    He did turn me onto some amazing records though, ones that fill me with joy so though I miss him and his shows, it's not an unhappy time at all.

  22. Steven Tyler 'quits' Aerosmith

    what bums me out is that I think they could have put out at least one more killer album if they hired Rick Rubin (as proven by his work with Metallica, among others).

    but agreed.. if there is no Steven Tyler (or Joe Perry.. or Tom Hamilton but I'm biased with that one) then they should just call it a day.

    anyone wanting to start a poll on how many ballads will be on the Brand Tyler solo album? My vote goes for all but two songs.
