They co-headlined a very small Canadian tour. I wanted to go so badly, but found out the closest stop was over 22 hours away. So, obviously, I did not make it.

I hope you can make it, 'cause shows like this only happen once in a lifetime.

Back in 1990, I saw them both on an European tour. It was called "Clash of the Titans" and the two other bands were Testament and Suicidal Tendencies.

Well, there's a show happening in my very city. I'm definitely buying a ticket, but I may have to go alone and make temporary friends on-site.

No one I know would pay full price to see this show.

Anybody from Melbourne going to this?

That'd be pretty awesome, I would go to the Sydney one, but its right in the middle of my HSC (final exams for high school), so I highly doubt I'd get there.

The American leg was better. AinC and Anthrax plus Megadeth and Slayer. Testament is better than Anthrax though but AinC is leaps over ST. Apparently, Araya and Mustaine didn't get along at all then.

Yeah, it's interesting. From what I hear, King and Mustaine still don't get along.

Should be an interesting tour!

Yeah I did hear about some misunderstanding, what happened actually? And for the longest time (for some reason) I thought Megadeth and Slayer had some misunderstanding/rivalry going on. And to see them headlining a show now just blew me away. I think the rivalry thingy was just some rumour from some idiot.

Well you know, they're both Warriors for Jeebus now, so they have a common bond.

Kerry King looks like a massive asshole anyways.

Even though Slayer was one of the first Metal bands I discovered and still like, I've never liked that guy. In Interviews he comes off as smarmy, arrogant and, yeah, a little trendy. He also looks like that one white trash guy who's always in the mosh pit that doesn't even care about the bands, he's just there to beat people up and show how "tough" he is. So yeah, I'm not surprised he's had feuds with other people in the scene. And head tattoos, man that shit is so lame.

looks like i'm not the only one to think so.

Well he can be funny at times, especially on that Marty Friedman Heavy Metal-san show. And couple of other interviews as well. But he can look quite intimidating as well. Perhaps it's his way of scaring the bullies off. He's not that big you know.

He's big, just really short, haha.

hellraiser_xes · **Posted:** Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:45 am

When I saw him a couple of years back I went "WTF?!" . I didn't expect him to be that short. For a moment, I was really proud of myself...I'M TALLER THAN AN AMERICAN/WHITE GUY/WESTERNER/WHATHAVEYOU!!!

Metalhead_Bastard · **Posted:** Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:23 pm

Haha, King and Danzig should start a band, SMS. Can you guess what the abbreviation is for?

Small-Medium-.... no idea man.

Small Man Syndrome.

They'd be angry at the world, for one big reason.
