A few weeks back the rumor mill was ablaze with talk that the Big Four of Thrash (METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX) talking about touring together. Those rumors have fizzled down and it seems like those four bands (well mainly the two bands whose names start with "Me") can't really put their differences aside.
So natually, [...]

A few weeks ago the internet was abuzz when SLAYER guitarist Kerry King said he heard Lars from METALLICA was trying to get the big four thrash bands (that's METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX) to go out on a monster tour for the ages. We blew it off as just rumor-mongering, especially since Dave Mustiane [...]

Dave Mustaine has spoken! He posted a lengthy update on the band's forum discussing a lot of topics we've been reporting on, including the rumors of a Big 4 Thrash Tour:
Regarding rumors of the 'Big Four' [METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX] touring, I have heard nothing about this, other than gossip, and I don't think [...]

“I’ve heard people referencing Lars,” says King. “I don’t know Lars that well and I haven’t heard it from Lars but apparently he’s [...]

KERRY KING is challenging DAVE MUSTAINE to a "dick-off"! It's on baby. It all started a few weeks ago when Mene Gene Okerlund was interviewing Dave Mustaine and he had this to say:
“I’ve gotta tell you, the tour with Slayer was really, really cool. I saw Kerry [King]. Kerry was out [...]

What unites two huge crossover metal bands, brings along two of the best underground metal bands in the world and is almost as exciting as a SNAKES N' BARRELS reunion? How about a U.S. tour starring MASTODON, DETHKLOK, CONVERGE and HIGH ON FIRE? Some of the venues are bigger than what any of these bands [...]

Coalesce recently embarked on their first European trek ever, so we asked them to document the journey in the form of a few tour blogs. This is the first blog in a three-part series about their touring, with each blog written by a different member of the band. This entry was written by vocalist Sean [...]

Now that hipsters, non-metal rock fans, ERIC CLAPTON's label, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's producer and mainstream publications have caught on, you no longer need underground metal fans to tell you how much MASTODON rules. But what makes Mastodon exceptional is that they haven't watered down their sound at all to get this far–rather, they've been developing as [...]
