It asks what 4 bands would you add to the current "Big 4" tour of Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth. I think my list would be:

5. Testament
6. Overkill
7. Exodus
8. Mercyful Fate

That's a good list. Here's my version:

5. Kreator
6. Hirax
7. Annihilator
8. Tankard

8. Tankard

Yeah it was a toss up between Mercyful Fate and Kreator. Annihilator is under-rated and Tankard is just a lot of fun. I love Tankard's cover of Damage Inc.

If I had to go Thrash, I would go towards Frank's list. The obvious 3 would be:

5. Testament
6. Overkill
7. Exodus
8. Death Angel

Death Angel could easily be interchangeable with Kreator. Of course, I am a huge Kreator fan though. I actually love all of these bands.

How sweet would it be to see a Big 4 with the likes of Priest, KISS, Motorhead and Fate though?

I like Death Angel a ton more than Overkill but Overkill's body of work is extensive. It's hard to come up with just 4. If I could choose a dream mega concert with all metal combined......

1. Kiss (1996 Reunion version)
2. Metallica (1986 version)
3. Judas Priest
4. Iron Maiden
5. Black Sabbath (wDio)
6. Dio
7. Yngwie Malmsteen (1984 w/Soto)
8. Queensryche (anytime from 84-91)
9. Wasp (anytime from 85-93)
10. Amorphis

How the heck did I forget about Maiden. Sorry King, but Fate is out and Maiden is in.

I would pretty much have the same top 10, but may have to slide in some Slayer (88ish maybe - South of Heaven). Pantera has to be in there somewhere (Far Beyond Tour). Of course, I would love me some Nevermore in there as well. Perhaps, I would take Warrel doing another solo tour though. He played some Sanctuary classics as well.

Shit I forgot Pantera! I got nowhere to put them though. Probably have to bump Wasp. I was at the Far Beyond Driven tour. I had an extra ticket because somebody decided not to go. Wonder who that was....

Was that when they opened for Skid Row and I had to go to the Phillies' game? That is the one band that I wish I seen more. Still have tons of great boots from them, but not the same.

No they were the headliner. Prong opened. You were feeling sick. Pansy.
