METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH And ANTHRAX To Tour Together?SLAYER guitarist Kerry King has told U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine that he has heard through the grapevine that METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich is plotting a tour that would include METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX.
Should this tour materialize, this would be the first time that the so-called "Big Four" of thrash have toured together as part of the same bill. MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX were joined by opening act ALICE IN CHAINS for the U.S. Clash Of The Titans tour in 1991, while METALLICA and MEGADETH last shared a U.K. stage at Milton Keynes Bowl in 1993.
In an interview conducted yesterday (Wednesday, September 2) in London, Metal Hammer asked Kerry if there had been a temptation to bring the co-headline tour that SLAYER are about to embark on with MEGADETH in Australia and Canada to U.K. shores.
"I think it would be cool but I knew we had this planned before all of this MEGADETH stuff started happening," said King. "They're going to Australia with us, they're going to Canada again with us. I think it would be cool for the European fans to bring that over here because, ship, we didn't even consider playing with those guys since 1990."
So could it be possible that we could get a tour that includes the "Big Four?"
"I've heard people referencing Lars," said King. "I don't know Lars that well and I haven't heard it from Lars, but apparently he's talking to somebody about it. Maybe us, METALLICA, MEGADETH (and), I think he even threw in ANTHRAX and I said in this day and age, I know we had that time together, but how do you leave out MACHINE HEAD? There's better options than ANTHRAX and that's nothing against ANTHRAX, but they've just been in pieces for quite some time and that doesn't make as much sense to me."

Would be the most Epic event ever. -LHM }

DJ AM is laid to rest DJ AM?s funeral took place yesterday (02.09.09).
The 36-year-old musician ? who was found dead in his New York apartment on Friday (28.08.09) ? was laid to rest at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in West Los Angeles.
Guests including his former fiancee Nicole Richie, Blink 182?s Travis Barker and DJ Jazzy Jeff gathered at the site just after 3pm.
At around 4pm guests travelled to a Jewish cemetery in the city where DJ AM ? real name Adan Goldstein ? was buried.
A memorial for the star will take place later today (03.09.09), with the invitation revealing it will pay tribute to the musician?s battle with substance abuse.
It read: 'The format of the evening will be in the style of an open 12-step meeting. Adam's friends both from his life in recovery, as well as those from other areas of his life are welcome. We ask only that everyone adhere to the tradition of anonymity and let what they hear there, and who they see there, stay there.'
Although the cause of DJ AM?s death remains unclear, it has been reported he was found with undigested painkillers in his stomach and mouth.
A crack pipe and some of the illegal drug were also discovered near his body, with his representative admitting he was due to go to rehab to battle his addiction.
The musician died with a $1 million estate and no will.
His mother Andrea Gross wants to oversee the estate, according to papers filed in Los Angeles.

Lady GaGa happy with gay sex at gigLady Gaga was thrilled to learn two men had sex at one of her concerts.
The 'Poker Face? singer says her career high point so far was during a concert in New York when the audience ? which included '4 Minutes? star Madonna ? shed their inhibitions and made love as she sang.
She said: 'My sister texted me and she was like, 'Madonna is 15 feet away from me. And there are two guys having sex in the audience. I just remember thinking, 'Wow, this is exactly what I wanted. I?ve got Madonna and I?ve got gay sex!? '
Despite being delighted at having Madonna as a fan, the singer has rubbished comparisons between the two performers, insisting she is happy just to be herself.
She explained to V magazine: 'Look, when I was a brunette, they called me Amy Winehouse. When I was a blonde, they called me Madonna. Then they called me Christina (Aguilera), then Gwen (Stefani). I just don?t think most people?s reference points go back very far.'
Despite her ascent to global stardom, the 'Paparazzi? singer insists she will always continue to play intimate concerts at gay clubs as she wouldn?t have a career without them.
She explained: 'With the exception of God, my family, and best friend Matthew Williams, and the Haus of GaGa, the gay community is the single reason that I am here today.
'I started out playing gay clubs in America, then I went to London to play G-A-Y, where I didn?t think anyone knew who I was, and there were thousands of people there. How could I ever turn my back on those people who really fought for me? And besides the loyalty factor, playing in gay clubs is fun!'
