Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax may tour together.

[Swede]

Now that would be awesome.


The first comes from an interview with Slayer's Kerry King in U.K. rock magazine Metal Hammer. King told the magazine the he has heard from several sources that Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich was thinking about planning a tour that would feature Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax

1. okay thats a gig i will be going to no matter what,

dont care what the misses says...

[Parche]

2. megametal tour

:woohoo: :hi:

[rcrush]

3. I hope Slayer and Anthrax team up and beat the crap out of Metallica and Megadeth

Live on stage. That would be awesome.

[ZombieNixon]

4. The Feudin' Four Tour.

Unfortunately, Kerry King also said this:

“I’ve heard people referencing Lars… I don’t know Lars that well and I haven’t heard it from Lars but apparently he’s talking to somebody about it. Maybe us, Metallica, Megadeth (and), I think he even threw in Anthrax and I said in this day and age, I know we had that time together but how do you leave out Machine Head? There’s better options than Anthrax and that’s nothing against Anthrax, but they’ve just been in pieces for quite some time and that doesn’t make as much sense to me.”

[Ahpook]

5. Just get this one singing again and it should fly?

[Iggo]

16. I've seen Machine Head. Not thrash metal.

I'd rather see Testament.

[LostInAnomie]

6. Why would Slayer and Anthrax want to play with those other two pieces of shit?

[MrSlayer]

7. This would be one of the greatest tours ever in the history of the world.

It would be the greatest tour in the history of the world if Anthrax was replaced by Testament and Met and Mega were limited to only playing songs from the first four releases.

[EvilAL]

9. and Slayer headlined with

a 120 minute set.

[Throd]

31. Keep Anthrax, replace Testament for Megadeth

[AwakeAtLast]

8. Who's gonna go with me?

I don't wanna miss this!!! :bounce:

[Initech]

10. That tour would kick serious amounts of ass if it happens.

[alphafemale]

11. Oh..hell yeah. nt

[dropkickpa]

12. Oh my dawg. I just creamed in my panties

And threw them on stage. At work.

[Wapsie B]

13. A little Metal Health for everyone is a good thing.

[gbate]

24. Then they need Quiet Riot there.

[Iggo]

14. Everything I've read from Slayer lately...

...says that they don't look fondly on decades-old bands doing victory tours with warmed over hits.

So that leaves Anthrax out...lol.

(Okay, so it was only the one article in that guitar mag, but still...)

[EvolveOrConvolve]

15. The "Big 4" of 80's heavy metal/death metal

I'd give my momma's left leg to see that show.

[ZombieNixon]

17. This is more thrash metal.

Slayer was hugely influential on death metal, but they're still a thrash band.

An equivalent death metal tour would be Death, Atheist, Possessed, and Obituary (or something like that). Of course, Chuck Schuldiner's dead, so never mind that. :(

[Iggo]

18. You don't wanna start a sub-genre naming war, do ya?

:rofl:

[ZombieNixon]

19. Oh, yes, yes, I do.

Here is how you tell:



:P

[Iggo]

20. Nice!

:headbang:

[eyepaddle]

26. That is awesome.

:rofl:

[alphafemale]

36. !

love it

[Orsino]

21. If they don't tour together...

...they will surely tour separately. :headbang:

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. No Danzig? Then I ain't fuckin' goin'.

[Common Sense Party]

23. They'll call the tour "Suckapalooza."

I like early Metallica, but can't stand the others.

[litlady]

27. Hate em all! nt

[Mojambo]

25. LOL at all the douchey Slayer fans having to go to a Metallica concert! n/t

[Iggo]

28. Well...

...I'm a fan of both bands, and I've seen them both live on numerous occasions.

One thing I can tell you is a Slayer concert is more hazardous to a Metallica fan than the other way around. It's a little less civilized. And the Slayer crowd skews way more male than the Metallica crowd. Not saying anybody's out to get anybody. They're not. And I'm certain a huge chunk of the total fans are fans of both bands. It's just that I've noticed that a Slayer gig is just a way rougher scene than a Metallica gig. Bring yer boots.

[Throd]

29. I saw Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth on the same bill back in '91 or '92

It was at the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, CA.

During the Anthrax set people were removing the plastic liners from the garbage cans, wearing them like ponchos and setting them on fire in a mosh pit up at the top tier grassy area.

Megadeth seemed prissy. Nobody set their clothes on fire during their set.

KNAC!

[Bucky]

30. Megadeath really is a stupid as shit name for a band, however.

[Iggo]

32. Megadeath was the original name of...

...Pink Floyd.

In case you didn't know...

[proteus_lives]

33. All they need is Dethklok....

And this tour would conquer the world!

:headbang:

[Iggo]

34. Brutal.

:headbang:

[proteus_lives]

35. Metal.

:headbang:

[Gold Metal Flake]

38. Dethklok is on tour 2009 with Mastodon

[proteus_lives]

39. I heard about that.

I can't wait for the new Deth album. Brutal!

:headbang:

[Maestro]

37. I'll be there!

But Anthrax needs a new singer!
