On 22 June 2010 Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax (known as the Big 4 of thrash metal) performed in Sofia, Bulgaria. The concert was screened live at hundreds of cinema theatres across the world and, as to be expected, in South Africa nearly 4 weeks later.
Regardless of the fact that we were watching a ‘live’ broadcast weeks after the show, we saw this collaboration of rock gods as an opportunity that could not be missed. In a cinema packed with metalheads we watched the legends do what they do best and like a bucket of arctic water to the face, we were reminded of what metal was all about.
The current rock scene is flooded with new bands. There are so many to choose from that I find myself feeling a bit frustrated at times trying to keep up with the who’s who of the rock world.
