Could be fun. If this is gonna happen, they may as well go all-out and make it a summer festival. Main stage for the Big Four; Anthrax opens, and Kerry King and Dave Mustaine can rock-paper-scissors for the slot directly before Metallica. Then, have a second stage during the afternoon for groups like Municipal Waste, Machine Head, Kreator, 3 Inches of Blood, High on Fire or [your favorite band here].Chris Varias of Metromix conducted an interview earlier this week with METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo. The question-and-answer session follows below.
Metromix: There's a rumor going around now about the four classic thrash bands (METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX) touring together. How would you feel about being part of that?
Trujillo: I think it's great. We've had a few different conversations on the subject. I'm friends with (SLAYER's) Kerry King and had dinner with him a few months back, and it came up there. I think (MEGADETH's) Dave Mustaine is amazing. I've never had a problem with him personally. I think it'd be great if METALLICA shared the stage with his band. METALLICA's still great friends with (ANTHRAX's) Scott Ian. There's a lot of history there. I think it'd be great for metal. I don't think all four bands have played together at the same time.
Metromix: So there's truth to the rumor?
Trujillo: There is, but nothing's concrete. It's not a sealed deal. We're working on it.
Clash of the Titans II?
1This has been rumored for a while, but now here's some confirmation from the Metallica camp that they're "working on it."
This is a snakeskin jacket. And for me it's a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.
