June 19, 2010ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian joined MEGADETH on stage at the second "Big Four" show at the Swiss edition of this year's Sonisphere festival, which was held yesterday (Friday, June 18) at Degenaupark in Wil/Jonschwil, Switzerland.
Fan-filmed video footage of Ian singing backing vocals on the MEGADETH classic "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?!" can be viewed below.
METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX — the so-called "Big Four" of 1980s thrash metal — played together for the first time in history this past Wednesday night (June 16) in front of 81,000 fans at the Sonisphere festival at Bemowo Airport in Warsaw, Poland.
Several more "Big Four" shows will take place across Europe, with a June 22 concert in Bulgaria to be beamed to more than 450 movie theatres in more than 140 markets in the U.S., along with cities in Europe, Canada and Latin America.
The concert will be broadcast to theatres in high definition. Delayed screenings are planned for Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.
Scott Ian previously stated about the "Big Four" tour: "This is a metal fan's dream.
"Looking at this, not only as one of the bands playing on the show, which is fucking awesome, but from the point of view of a fan of SLAYER and MEGADETH and METALLICA, I just think it's the best show.
"The guys in the bands have all been talking about the possibility of this tour happening for probably 20 years.
"The rest of the world is clamoring for shows.
"Whether we do the U.S. is out of hands. That's a METALLICA question. For this [European run of dates], we kept hearing the rumors and I kept calling Kirk [Hammett, METALLICA guitarist] and he kept denying it and then one time he finally said, 'Yes, it's going to happen, but don't say anything.' I think it's going to be the same with other territories. We're already hearing rumors about other places in the world. And I think eventually it will be a worldwide adventure."
