Metal Masters 4

There's no hyperbole in that show title; this gig really does seem like the metal equivalent of an all-star game. The roster features lifers from teams Slayer (Kerry King, Dave Lombardo), Anthrax (Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Frank Bello) and Pantera/Down (Phil Anselmo), as well as Exodus ax man Gary Holt and Mr. Big bassist Billy Sheehan. The low ticket price and venue intimacy make this one all but unmissable for the discerning headbanger.
