Shaffee and El Jefe of the WKLS Project 9-6-1 96.1 FM radio station conducted an interview with Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett prior to the band's October 4, 2009 concert at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

When asked about the rumors that Metallica was assembling a tour that would feature the "Big Four" of the 1980s underground thrash metal scene — itself, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax — Kirk replied, "That tour is not gonna happen. I've been hearing that, we've all been hearing that for awhile. I get asked [about] it regularly. And as far as a tour going on, it's not gonna happen. Conflicting schedules, conflicting personalities, [a lot of] conflicting things.It's a good idea, though. And personally, I can see the significance of playing a tour like that, but... it's not gonna happen."

First off, what the fuck is with morning drive radio hosts with stupid names. El Jefe? Eat a dick.

Secondly,we knew this was going to happen. Kerry King and Dave Mustaine can't get along. Dave Mustaine and Lars can't get along. So this tour, while fun to think about, was dead on arrival. I thought it might happen because Mustaine seemed to be behind all of his demons, but I was just hoping.
