It’s an Overkill, but we are still wanting more.

The 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.

The 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.
