Heavy Metal history will be written on Wednesday, September 14, 2011, as the Big Four of Thrash Metal takeover Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York. The highly anticipated concert is the second Big Four concert to take place in North America, and will feature Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. The bands are ready, the fans are anxious, but is the Bronx ready for one of the biggest concerts in the history of New York City? This is what Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. had to say about this.
"This mega concert, one of the most anticipated events in recent memory, will bring thousands of new visitors to the Bronx. We're inviting concert goers to come early and count down to the start of the show at our great neighborhood restaurants and bars, and take in a little of what the Bronx has to offer. The Bronx may be known as the home of hip-hop and salsa, but make no mistake, our musical contributions are much more expansive. These Heavy Metal legends grew up right here in our borough, and I am proud to welcome Anthrax back to their Bronx home."
In addition, Mr. Diaz, Jr. has announced that he will name Wednesday, September 14, "ANTHRAX DAY!" The Big Four concert represents a homecoming for Anthrax as all five members - Joey Belladonna, Frank Bello, Charlie Benante, Rob Cagianno, and Scott Ian - are from New York, with three of them - Benante, Bello and Caggiano - born and raised in The Bronx.
