The Big 4 Coming To A Cinema Near You

[AGumby]

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax are to have their show in Bulgaria on June 22nd broadcast to cinemas all over the world.

A statement from the bands reads:
“For one night only, metalheads around the world can experience history: On Tuesday, June 22, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax perform on one stage together, and through the wonders of satellite technology, you can be part of this historic concert event, broadcast exclusively to select movie theatres around the world. Beyond the limited European festival dates, there are not additional tour dates planned for this extraordinary line-up.”
Lars Ulrich of Metallica says of this historic announcement, “Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal’s Big Four would not only still be around, be more popular than ever, playing shows together at stadiums all over Europe, and on top of that, coming to a movie theater near you in High Definition (for better or worse??!!). Bring it on!”
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says “Damn, as if this Big 4 tour wasn’t exciting enough now we get to be on the big screen worldwide! Metal at the movies, two big horns up! It is unbelievably gratifying that this means so much to the metal community around the globe. Get your tix, grab some popcorn and get ready to bang your head!”
Declares Slayer’s Kerry King, “I can’t believe someone didn’t make this happen 15 years ago! The fans finally get what they want. I think it’s awesome!”
Says Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine, “The magnitude of this event hasn’t really sunk in yet, and I am thrilled to know that people around the planet will be able to walk into a movie theater and experience the greatest line up of Heavy Metal in the history of the world!”
Dates for UK cinemas are yet to be confirmed but we do know that Odeon, Vue and Cineworld cinemas are expected to be involved. Get details at [URL="http://www.thebigfourlive.com"]thebigfourlive.com[/URL]

I don't give a flying fuck if it will be playing in theaters. I WANT TO SEE IT IN FUCKING PERSON THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE EXPERIENCED.

Just make a goddamn US tour. Fuck, just make it Metallica and Megadeth, I'd still shit my pants from all of the awesomeness.

But no, we can't get that much, and I can't afford airfare to fucking POLAND to see it...

ironic that it's in eastern europe, where people get imprisoned for this sort of stuff

I bet there won't be any cinemas near me that will get this. :smug:

Also, when they say it will be broadcast, do they mean live? IE, only once, at whatever time the tour happens, regardless of timezones?

Or are they going to play it over a span of a week or something like a normal movie?

I'm a bit confused. :smith:

It will be shown 7:00 pm in every timezone. So it will probably be a delayed broadcast

Sounds epic.

You would rather see men wear halloween costumes that go see the four bands that made gwar?

Also, I just realized this is two days before my birthday.

Fuck yeah! I couldn't think of a better (slightly early) birthday present! :rock:

Well, with the exception of maybe this happening:

Why the fuck aren't they coming to the US and doing this? Aren't they American in the first place?

Yes, they are. And Metallica and Megadeth are from California. At the very least, not sure about Slayer and Anthrax.

I've asked this question many times and have yet to get any logical answer. This is just total fucking bullshit.

No European tour, no American tour (NOT EVEN IN THE HOMETOWN/STATE), just a one-off thing in POLAND. What the FUCK is this shit?!

[JonniXD]

Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer are all from California. Anthrax is from New York. The only non-Americans I can think of are Lars Ulrich and Rob Trujillo.

[razzums]

Who the fuck would want to see this shit in theaters? What a huge "fuck you" to fans, saying that you can be apart of history in a fucking theater . Even though I hate those said bands.
