In a recent interview with Noisecreep, Slayer guitarist Kerry King spoke about his hopes to bring the "Big Four" of thrash metal (Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax) together for a North American tour.

"I hope Slayer/Megadeth tour is a precursor to the Big Four coming to the States," King said. "That tour it should be everywhere: here, Australia, Japan. Any place that wants it should have it and it should happen."

He added: "Metallica has toured a ton and as much as we have going, we don't have a free moment in our schedule, so this is just me thinking out loud, but I'd say it would be great in summer 2011. If there are any talks, they are preliminary. And that's a time frame that would work for us."

Plllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeee bring it to the U.S. That would be a f***in dream come true, especially now with Ellefson coming back to Megadeth and Belladonna coming back to Anthrax. I would pay insane amounts of money to see that. Fingers crossed and horns up to this possibility

There's just too much money to be made to NOT tour the US.....or the globe, for that matter. It WILL happen, just be prepared to shell out the big bucks for tix (and Hell forbid you wanna buy a beer, that'll be downright re-c0ck-ulous)...I know I will, even though I am NOT AT ALL stoked to see The Poodle fronted Anthrax.....

Damn I hope so, considering Slayer/Megadeth didn't have the decency to reschedule their Louisville date, and I would love to see Metallica again, not to mention Antrhax.

Holy sh**, everybody. King, Hetfield and Mustaine have all been killed and replaced with android look-alikes! The musicians I know would N.E.V.E.R be able to pull this tour off! Not without murdering each other onstage! Which would be pretty cool to watch actually... Horns!
