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."
