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.
From Megadeth.com
“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.”
From Slayer.net
“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.”

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.

Metallica has invaded iTunes App store with two officially sanctioned apps. Lars Ulrich needs more money to get his gold-plated shark tank installed next to his pool.
Tapulous – Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica
Includes the following ten songs:
They actually included a song off St. Anger.
From Metallica Mailing List:
Finally, everyone who purchases Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica will be entered to win cool stuff, including the grand prize of a trip to Las Vegas for the show there on December 5, including airfare, hotel, tickets (duh!) and meet and greet passes. Click here for more info about the contest.
Tap Tap Revenge: Metallica is priced at $4.99 at U.S. iTunes App Store.
The second Metallica sanctioned app is Live Metallica app (Metallica news item).
In our ongoing efforts to be of service and give you as many options as possible in the digital era, we asked the brainiacs that help us out with LiveMetallica.com to come up with a super cool iPhone application that creates a streaming interface to your LiveMetallica account. In non-tech talk, that means that any show you have downloaded from the site will automatically stream to your iPhone once you launch the $.99 app. And the bonus is that the latest show on the site will always be streaming for free!
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!
