The Big Four.

Spoiler:
Can't make it to Europe this June for one of the seven Sonisphere "Big Four" shows featuring us along with Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax? No problem . . . we've got the next best thing through the magic of satellite technology with a special HD simulcast from Sofia, Bulgaria on June 22!

Here's how it works: The live show will be transmitted via satellite to over 450 movie theaters in the U.S. and over 350 theaters across Europe, Canada, and Latin America. Within hours of all of us walking off the stage, depending on what time zone you live in, you'll be able to rock out to each set in the cozy confines of your local movie theater that same night.

Now the nitty gritty details: Tickets for the one night only event are available at the local theater box offices and online at thebigfourlive.com where you can see a complete list of presenting theaters. They will start to go on sale Friday, May 21 in the U.S and Friday, May 28 internationally. Please note that ticket on sale times and even days will vary by theatre, so check with your friendly neighborhood participating movie theatre for exact days and times tickets will be available and keep watching thebigfourlive.com for theatre additions/changes. For our friends in Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, delayed screenings will be coming your way. Again, keep watching here and thebigfourlive.com for updates.

A few more tidbits you might find helpful: Ticket prices in the U.S. will be around $20 plus whatever service charges your local theater may add. No, unfortunately each band's entire set will not be shown, but trust us, you'll see most of the action.

This is epic! Metallica,Anthrax,Slayer and Mega Deth the biggest names in metal performing a live concert tour! I freakin love them! I remember metallica way before St.anger, Anthrax when I was 12, Slayer when I was 16 and mega deth at 16. And here I'am seeing them all together in one epic live show!

If you don't know these names you must have been living under a rock because These names define metal.

If you don't like metal I have an alternative.

Ha, it's on my birthday. Nice little coincedence.

I will be all fucking over that. Seeing those four bands together? I don't really know what to do with myself about that...

Pioneers of thrash? Count me in.

Whilst the line-up itself is cool, Metallica haven't done much for me in the studio or live in a long time. Anthrax seems to be having serious issues regarding vocal stability and I wonder how that would affect live performances. Slayer & Megadeth are still great live from what I can tell though.

I miss Joey Belladonna (did I spell that right?) he was my favorite vocalist at anthrax. Your comment about metallica kinda makes sense, try listening to Ride the lightning as your benchmark and compare that to the newer songs I bet you'll find Ride the lightning better. Metallica actually dissapointed me at St.Anger, NU metal doesn't work for them and Lars' drumming could have been better at St.Anger.

Do want.

I'll definitely try to get tickets for this.

I liked St. Anger.

Of course nothing will compare to Ride the Lightning or Puppets, but still it was good.

Death Magnetic was good as well.

I stopped expecting perfection from them. Like everyone else seems to.

Those two were solid albums. It's just that no one will let go of their earlier works.

I don't expect anything of them these days, I've long since moved on to what I feel are vastly superior bands in the here and now.

But the big four is all about the classics, I love classics and I don't want to let go of them and I still like the newer metal bands coming out. It's called Adaptation, but you still have to admit that these are the bands that shaped metal and inspired the new metal bands. I would have loved it if motorhead joined the tour.

I know it's about the classics, otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered to make a comment or be slightly interested. I'm just saying there's other bands from their time period that never stopped kicking ass and taking names: see Exodus, Sodom etc. I fully agree with you otherwise.

Spreading the Disease, Master of Puppets, Peace Sells... But Who's Buying, Reign in Blood, Ride the Lightning, Rust in Peace, Hell Awaits etc. the list goes on and on

Hm, I'll have to look into getting one of these tickets but saving my money right now to see either RUSH or Roger Waters, maybe 20 dollars well spent though...why can't they do this tour in the US as well though.

Fucking bullshit.

I'm hoping to not be totally broke next month so I can get a ticket to this. If not, given the bands involved, a concert DVD is inevitable in a few months, which would at least let me see it. And like everyone else, I wish they would make this a world tour. There'd be no end to the money made from that one.

You can watch the the big four tour live on the big screen via satellite. Go to any cinema and ask if they will have the big four on.

Will buy the dvd

METAL IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, IT'S ALL ABOUT ROCKING HARD AND KICKING ASS

Isn't Testament sometimes lumped in with the big four? I woulda liked to hear from them, bummer.

No, I know it's via satellite in a theater. I'm just perennially without expendable income when something has to happen, and this is a one-night thing, as opposed to all the movies coming out in June I need to scrape up some money for. Esepcially since this is a one-day thing, which means the universe would conspire against me.
