So by now, unless you’ve been living under a rock (or just don’t listen to rock/metal), you’ve heard of The Big Four tour. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth , and Anthrax, all on the same stage: It’s really enough to make any metal fan soil their skivvies. Already having performed several shows in Europe with Heaven and Hell, Mastodon, and Behemoth (depending on the show you were at), many in the United States have been wondering if this incredible event would be reaching our shores at any point in the near future. Well, Lars Ulrich has released a statement (with thanks to antimusic.com) that tells fans what to expect and when! Check it out after the jump!
