Major US Announcement From “The Big 4” Tuesday, January 25th at 8am PST!

At 8am PST TUESDAY a major announcement regarding The Big 4 will be made over at http://www.facebook.com/thebig4.  I’m on the edge of my seat wondering what the announcement will be?  Maybe they’ll announce one of the following:

• You will have to take a 2nd mortgage out on your house to afford ONE ticket.
• For the price of a used car you can meet all the members of the bands would would much rather be sleeping than meeting you.
• Metallica actually watched the “Big 4 In Bulgaria” DVD and thought, “Wow, maybe we should practice a bit more.”
• Lars Ulrich took drum lessons throughout the winter so that he will only change tempo 20 times in a set.
• James Hetfield will be fined $1,000.00 for every time he sings “YEH-YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AHHH”
• They are changing the name of “The Big 4” to “The Big 3 and that other band that used to kick ass at one time but now can barely keep up.”
• Dave Ellefson will receive yet ANOTHER tours worth of standing ovations for running back to Megadeth.
• Anthrax will continue to pretend to like Joey Belladonna.
• Slayer has now forgotten how to play rhythm guitar as well.
• Metallica will join the “play an entire album” party and perform “Re-Load” in it’s entirety.
• There will be a “Misspelled Metallica Tattoo” contest at each show.

Judging from the graphic above it’s going to be American dates for this juggernaut of a tour so I’m assuming the announcement will be US tour dates.  If I had to guess I would bet that this is going to be a stadium tour and that it won’t be a full on “tour.”  Maybe 20 dates of major markets like New York, LA, Atlanta, etc and that the tickets are going to be astronomical.  I doubt highly that the cheapest ticket will be below $75.00 and that will be to sit about 3 rows from Heaven.  I’m really curious to see what they will say but stay tuned and I will be sure to release the details here on the blog.  Regardless, it’s without a doubt history in the making and I am really looking forward to seeing if it’s in my future to see this performance.  Maybe I”ll just be waiting for the DVD but who knows?

I have been running this blog since 2009. AKA as the Great Southern Brainfart, Southeast of Heaven is my baby now and forever. I’ve had my ups and downs with bands over the years but they are all great experiences and memories. My Swedish friend Charlie said once, “Don is known for being one of the meanest bastards in American rock journalism.” It’s nice to be loved.

I also once took a shit in Anthrax’s dressing room toilet and didn’t flush.
