Dave Mustaine: “Big Four Tour; a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

I don’t really know what Dave Mustaine is really thinking, but I’m hoping to see the “Big Four Tour” becoming a reality. Dave McRobb (Megadeth.com Webmaster and Overlord) posted Mustaine’s October 21st, 2009 post on Megadeth.com homepage.

Paraphrasing Mustaine: “Big Four Tour; a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Does this mean Mustaine is open to the idea having Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax touring together?

I certainly hope so.

Well, the ticket price is likely to be on the expensive side.

Let the rumor fly!

Let them know that the Fans want this “Big Four Tour” to happen!

p.s. Why is Slayer the only band without the .com domain? Previously a company with name “Seven Layer” was using the domain name.

Will RIAA Sue Lars Ulrich for Downloading “Death Magnetic” Off Bit Torrent?

In the ultimate sense of irony, Lars Ulrich told Wired that he downloaded the whole “Death Magnetic” using Bit Torrent. Back in April 2000 Ulrich spearheaded Metallica’s suit against Napster for copyright infringement.

Now the question is, will RIAA sue Lars Ulrich for downloading “Death Magnetic” using Bit Torrent? Well, RIAA has been suing people left and right for allegedly downloading music from P2P networks. Bit Torrent is one of those P2P networks.
