i think that's just when the tickets go on sale.what metal band is getting up to play at 8am? much less a metal fan getting up at 8am.
Also, any metal collection calling itself "big" that doesn't include Iron Maiden = FAIL.
Before opening the thread, when I though "who's the big 4 of metal?" The names Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Metallica were the ones I thought of. Well they got Metallica, and got the Dio era Sabbath, but relegated them to the little 5 slot.
It should be a good show (though frankly Megadeath kind of bored me live when I saw them, Mustaine has zero stage presence). I actually think Heaven and Hell deserve a higher billing than Anthrax and Megadeth, hopefully Dio is healthy by the time June rolls around, they'll put on a great show as a support act.I think the big four in the essence of the thrash metal scene that was started in the 80's obviously these bands were the driving force.
