The Big Four of '80s thrash - METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX - have booked a show in New York City, and the bands say they're still looking at a full-fledged world tour. Artisan News caught up with Anthrax' Scott Ian and Megadeth's Dave Ellefson about rolling the tour across the globe...
Says Ian - "Once it was announced last summer in Europe, the whole world was clamouring for the Big 4. We'll get there. This is a really big piece of furniture to move around, with all the logistics and schedules. All 17 guys in these four bands want to continue doing these shows. That's the impetus to make this happen more cuz we all want to do it."
Adds Ellefson: "All lot of fans are screaming for it. We have a lot of territory in front of us, so hopefully it will just carry on."
