It’s an Overkill, but we are still wanting more. September 14, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Entertainment, Music, News , add a commentThe show might have been dubbed as The Big 4, but there jam should have been called The Big 5. At Yankees Stadium in Bronx, members of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax and Exodus performed “Overkill”, a Motorhead’s classic. Yes, Exodus member Gary Holt who is filling in for Slayer’s Jeff Hanneman was on stage jamming with the other 4 bands. At the end of the song, Dave Lombardo and Charlie Benante took turns on the drums. Note to Lars Ulrich, now that’s the proper way to play drum.
- James Hetfield
- Kirk Hammett
- Rob Trujillo
- Lars Ulrich
- Kerry King
- Dave Lombardo
- Gary Holt
- David Ellefson
- Chris Broderick
- Shawn Drover
- Joey Belladona
- Scott Ian
- Rob Caggiano
- Frank Bello
- Charlie Benante
Not sure If I saw Dave Mustaine, Tom Araya or Jeff Hanneman.
p.s. I see my friend Willie Gee on stage again with The Big Four.

Megadeth .com broke the news that Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax (sans Scott Ian plus Andreas Kisser) performed Diamond Head’s classic “Helpless” together. Slayer members didn’t join the jam due to what they called “travel arrangement”.

Highlights from The Big 4 in Indio, California. April 23, 2011
Posted by very in : Entertainment, Music, News, Resources , add a commentThe Big 4 show is done and there are two things need to be reported:
- Jeff Hanneman performs with Slayer for the first time following the arm surgery playing South of Heaven and Angel of Death.
- Another “Am I Evil?” jam by Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. I think that was Kerry King on stage-left.
There might be another live DVD/Blu-ray in the works here.
