It's crazy to think that Metal Masters 5 was two weeks ago. The megajam which featured members of Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth, Anthrax and more getting up on stage and having a good time, was the event to be at on the night of Wednesday, January 22nd.
I was there and even got to get up on stage for a moment to talk about the new site we launched for musicians in heavy metal called Gear Gods. It was exciting to make a joke about bassists while the great Dave Ellefson and Frankie Bello were a mere feet away from me.
There were a lot of great performances. You can of course, watch the whole show in full over at Gear Gods, and the Gear Gods Youtube channel has uploaded a bunch of on-demand clips. I finally got to watch the show and here are, without question, my favorite five covers that were performed.
5) FIVE MINUTES ALONE!!
4) TESTAMENT's Chuck Billy Belts Out Some IRON MAIDEN
3) TESTAMENT's Chuck Billy gets up on stage to help Phil sing "I'm Broken"
2) SLAYER's Postmortem and Raining Blood back to back with PHIL on vocals!
1) Everybody gets on stage for PANTERA's Fucking Hostile
Check out the entire show at Gear Gods.
