big 4

See which songs thrash metal's 'Big 4' played the most and least, from each of their albums.

Here's a fun game - count how many of these rare songs you've seen live!

How do they stack up?

How many of these songs have you seen Big 4 bands play live?

Is it Slayer? Metallica? Neither?!

Don't give up hope!

Sorry to disappoint you, fellow thrash fans!

The German thrash bands still don't get any love!

See which artists shaped the subgenres as we know them. These are the big four bands of 27 different rock and metal subgenres.

If you’ve been hoping and praying that the Big 4 will soon be playing a full U.S. tour, you might want to lower your expectations and be happy with that DVD of the Sonisphere show from Sofia, Bulgaria. In a recent interview with UK’s Classic Rock magazine, Slayer guitarist Kerry King said he can’t imagine Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax will stage any more Big 4 shows.

Looks like I anticipated wrong again for the second straight post.  Apparently the BIG announcement for The Big Four is not a tour, but one show in California.  I'm pissed!
