ANTHRAX Bassist: 'Big Four' Was 'Best Tour We've Ever Done'

August 4, 2010

Sonisphere TV conducted an interview with ANTHRAX at the U.K. edition of the Sonisphere festival, which was held July 30 - August 1 at Knebworth Park. Watch the chat below.

1991's original American "Clash of the Titans" lineup — ANTHRAX, SLAYER and MEGADETH — will hit the road together once again on leg two of the "American Carnage" tour. This trek kicks off September 24 at Verizon Wireless Theatre in Dallas, Texas and will play 20 dates, including New York's Nassau Coliseum, concluding at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on October 21.

ANTHRAX, SLAYER and MEGADETH and will kick off the second leg of the "American Carnage" tour on the heels of the historic "Big Four" Sonisphere festival concerts they played with METALLICA in seven European cities this summer. The dates marked the first time that these four bands — acknowledged as the most influential bands of the thrash genre — had shared a concert bill.

The original "Clash of the Titans" tour united the three forces of thrash metal for the entire summer of 1991, with then-little known ALICE IN CHAINS serving as the opener. This tour, which falls under the "American Carnage" banner, isn't rewriting history, it's writing a whole new chapter of head-banging history that is sure to delight fans new and old.
