Steve LampirisThe “Big Four” of of the ’80s thrash metal movement – ya know: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax – is finally touring together in America…at some point. This, of course, comes after they toured Europe last year and put out a concert DVD from the Bulgaria show. All we know so far is that it’s happening.
