The Big Four on blu ray

I have had ample time to watch this carefully and have to say if you are into these bands and into concert videos this is a must have.
I like all four of these bands about the same but if I had to rate their performance it would go like this
1. Megadeth, Dave's singing was almost spot on, Dave Efelson's playing was great and generally over all sounded great despite playing in the rain.
2. Anthrax, it is nice to see Joey back in the band even though I did like John's singing, Charlie's drum playing gets better and better, and I have to say he is a very ender-rated drummer. Scott's guitar playing was good and they put on a really good show.
3. Slayer, What can I say Dave Lombardo is the s**t when it comes to that kind of playing, Tom sang well and Jeff and Kerry's playing was good but I did notice a few screw ups but not from Dave.
4. Metallica, They did put on a good show but screw-ups galore. James does not sing the same anymore Lars, oh my god he got sloppy, and non existent double bass work. Kirk had quite a few mis-haps as well, Rob was the one that played really well throughout the entire set.
Highlights, when all four bands got onstage and played Am I Evil? The first time Dave M. has played with Metallica in 27 years and was awesome. James Dave and Joey all traded off on vocals, and they all had a good time.
Also the extra behind the scenes was awesome too. Its nice too finally see all those bands getting along and seem to be over their selves. The picture quality is great on this and the sound is good for a live concert as well.
So if you have about 5 hrs to kill I highly recommend it.:biggrin:

Thanks, zarrdoss, for the review. I'm a big fan of Megadeth. Met them once at a record signing of "Risk." Dave looked like he was about 90 pounds wet. We were all told while waiting on line that nobody should mention "Metallica." They were pretty serious about it. Album wasn't that good.
