Travelling back to 1982-1983.

Metallica and Mustaine had been on stage together during the Big 4 shows, but not like this. Dave Mustaine once again fulfilled the role he had back in 1982 and 1983, the lead guitarist of Metallica even only for three songs. Metallica and Dave Mustaine together performed “Phantom Lord”, “Jump In The Fire” and “Metal Militia” just like they did back in 1982 and 1983. How we all really wish Cliff Burton were there too.

Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield, side by side doing what they do best.

It is even more surreal to see Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett “being in Metallica” at the same time.

It might have been 1982 and 1983 again.

Note to James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine: It’s not too late to collaborate together again.

It’s an Overkill, but we are still wanting more.

The show might have been dubbed as The Big 4, but there jam should have been called The Big 5. At Yankees Stadium in Bronx, members of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax and Exodus performed “Overkill”, a Motorhead’s classic. Yes, Exodus member Gary Holt who is filling in for Slayer’s Jeff Hanneman was on stage jamming with the other 4 bands. At the end of the song, Dave Lombardo and Charlie Benante took turns on the drums. Note to Lars Ulrich, now that’s the proper way to play drum.

  • James Hetfield
  • Kirk Hammett
  • Rob Trujillo
  • Lars Ulrich
  • Kerry King
  • Dave Lombardo
  • Gary Holt
  • David Ellefson
  • Chris Broderick
  • Shawn Drover
  • Joey Belladona
  • Scott Ian
  • Rob Caggiano
  • Frank Bello
  • Charlie Benante

Not sure If I saw Dave Mustaine, Tom Araya or Jeff Hanneman.

Metallica performed at Dreamforce convention.

This is where Tech news intersects with Music News. Metallica performed at Dreamforce convention in Moscone Center, San Francisco on August 31st, 2011. Metallica was giving away tickets in the hundreds through the Met Club.

In somewhat related “news”, Leo Laporte attempted to sing “Battery” and “Enter Sandman” on TWiT 316.

p.s. What if Dreamforce ’12 would feature Dragonforce? Make it the D-force conference!
