Heavy Metal history was imprinted last week when Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, dubbed as the Big Four, took over New York City's Yankee Stadium. This unprecedented event was only the second Big Four show in North America. The first Big Four show in North America took place in Indio, California, on April 23, 2011.
If you missed the show, or can't remember it because of drinking a bit too much. Metallica has you covered! Here is some HD footage of Metallica's sound check and performance at the Big Four. So crank it up to 11, pop open a cold one, and put your Horns Up for the Big Four!
This past Wednesday, September 14, 2011, Slayer performed an extremely tight set at the Big Four Concert at Yankee Stadium. The man to blame for Slayer's flawless performance is drummer Dave Lombardo. As we all know, Lombardo is considered one of the best drummers in Heavy Music and since his return to Slayer in 2002 he has been an instrumental component of the bands musical tightness both on and off stage. Here is some footage of Lombardo getting on stage and doing what he does best!
