In case you missed it because you are boycotting the "Big Four" shows for their exclusion of Exodus, the Big 4 of Thrash show was over the weekend in Indio California. The Big 4 of thrash according to Metallica is Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. Fuck you Exodus you don't mean shit to Metallica. 

Metallica's set list looked typical and boring. I mean they have been touring for almost two years and the set list is the god damn same thing over and over again. 

01. Creeping Death

02. For Whom the Bell Tolls

03. Fuel

04. Ride the Lightning

05. Fade to Black

06. Cyanide

07. All Nightmare Long

08. Sad But True

09. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

10. Orion

11. One

12. Master of Puppets

13. Blackened

14. Nothing Else Matters

15. Enter Sandman

Encore:

16. Am I Evil? (DIAMOND HEAD cover) (with MEGADETH, ANTHRAX and SLAYER)

17. Hit The Lights

18. Seek And Destroy 

Blackened is a cool addition to the set, but the rest have to be exactly the same songs I would have picked out if I was in a car accident and was a vegetable and only able to speak in Metallica songs. 

Nurse: Would you like some pudding today?

Brain Dead Craig: Creeping Death

Nurse: Excuse me? 

BDC: For Whom the Bell Tolls

Nurse: Oh my doctor, he keeps speaking in omnious nonsense. 

Doctor: Craig, what are you trying to say? Are you hungry?

BDC: Fuel

Doctor: Seems he needs some fuel. He is hungry nurse. 

BDC: Ride the Lightining

Doctor: Wait, I have seen this on another patient. He is reciting every Metallica set list verbatim. The only other documented case of a brain dead man doing this was Cliff Burton after that bus accident. 

Low blow, but you have come to expect those from this site. Eat it the statements are what they are...the setlists haven't changed. This is the big four of thrash concert, the fans want to hear your older material not Fuel. Fuck Fuel! They want to hear Kill Em All, Motorbreath, Whiplash, Trapped Under Ice, Fight Fire with Fire etc. Instead you play Fuel, Nothing Else Matters, All Nightmare Long. BOOO! 

Here are the bands playing Am I Evil? together on stage.

Lars Ulrich claims they are exploring an East Coast date, but this fan of thrash won't be there without Exodus to prove a point.
