Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine recently checked in with an update and addressed the long running rumors of a potential tour with the ‘big four’ (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax. He had the following to say about the rumors:
“There has been a lot of talk about the possibility of a Big Four Tour and while I find the timing peculiar, the opportunity is a once in a lifetime opportunity, because we all are really so very different now, and the chances of this happening are probably not going to come around again in the future; due to personal plans, new ventures, and the inevitable passing of torches to the next generation in each of our respective genres (or the sub-genres that were created).
While there is nothing to say at this point, if it happens, when it happens we, as well as my other three fellow horsemen, will let you know.”
