Are you evil?
The Big Four DVD/Blu-Ray will be released in a few days, but if you live under a rock and haven’t seen this on YouTube yet, the video of the four bands performing “Am I Evil” is available for free.
So get it here. You can also watch it on YouTube, after the jump, but keep in mind this is a different version, from a day or two after it happened. The iTunes one might be of better quality, so get that too just in case, don’t be lazy.
Lombardo speaks
Dave Lombardo finally confirms the rumor about The Big Four tour in the States. And by confirms I mean, just confirms that it’s a rumor and nothing set in stone. He doesn’t know anything, either.
“Everybody’s gung-ho for this, including myself. Hey, we’re going to be playing coliseums or two nights at an arena. It’s gonna be huge . . . Some guy said that Metallica is going to join us and do the ‘Big Four’ here in the States. But I don’t know, it could be a rumor. I don’t know for a fact. I never heard anything from management.“

Belladonna liked the taste of success
Current (I think) Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna, who was Anthrax’s 6th, 8th and 10th singer in the overall timeline, liked the view from huge stages at the Big Four tour last summer.
In an interview with About.com Belladonna had the following to say about the tour “It was quite overwhelming and cool as hell to be part of Metallica‘s world.”.
About Anthrax’s upcoming (hehe) album he said “There’s stuff already ready for the picking. We have to tweak stuff and rewrite some lyrics. All the vocals have to be placed in the songs again. I already sang on one song already”, which means “We’ll record my vocals over Nelson’s vocals and once we’re done, I’ll quit and John Bush will record over my vocals”*.
The Big Four DVD
‘The Big Four,’ also known as ‘The big one which isn’t metal, and the three other small ones’ had a couple of third world concerts together this summer. One of them was broadcast all over the world, and is now being whored out on both DVD and Blu-Ray.
“Universal Music will release “The Big Four: Live From Sofia, Bulgaria” DVD and Blu-ray containing footage of the June 22, 2010 Sonisphere cinecast […] featuring the “Big Four” of 1980s thrash metal — METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX. The DVD hits the streets on October 15 in Northern Europe, October 18 in most of the rest of the world, October 19 in North America and the full shows from all four bands will be included in the two-disc set along with behind-the-scenes and interview footage.“

Lars compares 'Big Four' to iPhone app
Metallica might be old, but they’re still up to date with the youth, yo. As Lars demonstrates in a recent interview, comparing The Big Four to “something on the iPhone.”
“The vibe on this thing is so big, we’d be stupid to ignore it. You know on your iPhone, you can move the weather maps up and down? Well, the ‘Big Four’ is quickly moving up to the top in terms of potential occurrences for the next couple of years.“
Well, Lars, you know that button on the iPhone, the one that turns it off? Apparently that’s what “The Big Four” should have “clicked,” circa 1990.
