Megadeth and Slayer are joining forces for the American Carnage Tour.

Megadeth and Slayer camps just announced “The American Carnage Tour” for early 2010.

From the Press Release: (Megadeth.com | Slayer.net)

“American Carnage” is the first time that Slayer and Megadeth will have toured the U.S. together since 1991’s epic “Clash of the Titans” tour. To celebrate that and in recognition of the tough economic times that many of their fans are having, Megadeth and Slayer have decided to roll back the price of a chunk of tickets at every U.S. show to the “1991 price” of $10.00. These specially-priced tickets will be limited and when they’re gone, they’re gone. Megadeth has also teamed with iloveallaccess.com to provide an Ultimate Fan Package including premium seats, meet and greets, pre-show parties and more.

In addition, Testament – who was also on the “Clash of the Titans” bill, will be Special Guests on the entire tour, marking the first time that all three bands have shared a stage together in more than 18 years, and making this a “must see” metal event.

“Up” This Week and “Star Trek” Next Week.

First I have to mention that I did not see both “Up” and “Star Trek” in the theater. I picked up “Up” Blu-ray+DVD on Tuesday even though I don’t have a Blu-ray player. Well, for $19.99 I got “Up” Blu-ray and DVD in one package. Pixar knows story-telling and I am a huge fan of theirs. Watching this movie gave me some *sniff-sniff* moments.

Next week “Star Trek” is coming out on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download. Yes I am talking about the new “Star Trek” that was released earlier this Summer 2009. Yes I am also a huge Star Trek fan. I am referring to the franchise, of course. If only Paramount Studio would sell the Blu-ray and DVD in one package, I’d be getting the Blu-ray too.
