Will the Big Four be playing at the Sonisphere in Finland? Either way, not a fan of any of the four but Heaven and Hell. I pray they come to Aussieland.

No, Metallica isnt coming this time if you are talking about Big Four Of Thrash that is. They were a lead artist in last Sonisphere anyway, but this time they are busy elsewhere when Sonisphere of Pori is going to happen. So far only famous Thrash bands that are confirmed to play are Slayer and Anthrax. Half of big four is better than nothing.

But mind you, this time it is 2 day festival (last summer was 1 day) and so far there are only 9 confirmed bands, so there is a lot of room for more. I'll let everyone as setlist gets updated.

Hey, has MegaDave thrown a hissy fit yet about Behemoth being on the bill for that Poland show? Given his disdain for touring with "satanic" bands and all (the well-documented Rotting Christ incident a few years back). *teehee*

But given the huge amount of moolah at stake here, I think he won't.

!!!!!!

Tell me more!

 

[Azathoth]

Here you go:

"Decibel magazine (web site) reports that MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine forced Greece's ROTTING CHRIST off a 2005 Athens gig, later saying he didn't want to play with "full-on" Satanic band since being "saved" in 2002. He further spouted off on MEGADETH's web site that "No one knows for sure what [ROTTING CHRIST's] intent or content is, so I am not going to say they are [Satanic]." Nevertheless, even though MEGADETH had played with the group previously, he threatened to pass Greece by if ROTTING CHRIST was the support band.

"The concerts that I headline or I put together is usually my choice who I want to play with; festivals are different," he said at the time. "If I don't feel it is right for me to do something, then I [will] just respectfully decline. I would not ask that anyone be taken off if they were already confirmed."

Interesting tidbit, Azathoth. I know Mustaine is a whiney <insert your own term here>, but I didn't know he booted Rotting Christ off a show in their home town. Man, I do dig much of Megadeth's music, but Dave is such a whiner.

 

[JMURRAY16]

I agree, Dave has become such a whiney person the past 5 years I cannot even listen to the music anymore. He just acts like his &**& don't stink.

just found an absolutely absurd metal group online, called NOISM...anyone heard of them? check em out on myspace. http://www.myspace.com/noist

I laugh at how he randomly name drops influences. I really can't hear the influences of said bands in his music except some of the tech death bands. To be honest, all I hear is a metal version of splittercore.

This infuriated me even more.

Apologies if you like the band but I didn't

haha not really, it was jsut too ridiculous not to share

 

[Azathoth]

This is one epic lineup.

 

[acidbasement]

Nice lineup! I can't believe Anthrax are billed higher than H&H

 

[dongringo]

Wow, what a lineup. Who's singing for Anthrax these days? They can't seem to keep a singer for long.

 

[mattcalf]

Wow what a crazy amazing lineup, Poland looks as though they'll be the ones to get the 'Big Four'.

I'll have to convince my parents to let me investigate my heritage around that time.

Eh, I remember this one. "Newborn christian" Mustaine refused to play with Rotting Christ. Hell, if I was on Rotting Christ I would refuse to play with an illiterate band myself.

He was a ********* as he was, did he have to be "born again" to become worse? A superb musician anyway.
