Tue, 05 Jul 2011

Over the weekend, Metallica kicked off their European tour in Germany and Sweden giving hints of things to come for their fans at Sonisphere Knebworth this coming Friday night.

Metallica are set to headline the Big 4 day at Sonisphere Festival this Friday, and whilst no "Big 4 Jam" has been confirmed, (Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano recently spoke about it here) they have left fans to hope as members of Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth joined them onstage this past weekend in Germany & Sweden.

The bands have performed the song a couple of times previously, in Germany, Slayer guitarist Kerry King sat out the performances. Talking to Sweden's Aftonbladet newspaper he explained the song had been changed at the last minute,  "I was supposed to be there, but they changed the song at the very last minute. We were gonna play the ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE's 'So What', so I had rehearsed that song. When they changed it to 'Am I Evil?', I decided not to do it. I haven't thought about that song for two months since we played it in California."
