There is a strong rumor that the big four of 80's thrash metal will do a big tour. Of course, you know the big four of thrash are Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. Let's examine this rumor a bit closer.

Dave Mustaine has feuded with Kerry King of Slayer. Dave Mustaine has feuded with James and Lars of Metallica. Do you think they could really, and I mean all four bands, get along with each other?

Adding strength to the rumor is the Australian Slayer/Megadeth tour. So obviously they can at least co-exist on tour. But could Dave really stand Lars all tour?

Scott Ian twatted that he heard the rumors and was excited about them. He also said that Anthrax would be there should it happen. I don't think Metallica would have a problem with this tour as long as they closed it. Would the lineup go Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica?

My problem is I would want full sets from every band. That means six hours of music for four bands. That isn't going to work in the fall when big festivals are gone.

I think there are too many questions and egos for this tour to happen. But count me as a ticket buyer if they were to tour.
