The success of last years European tour, the duel in the desert that was Indio, was just too much and the "Big 4" of Thrash Metal have announced yet another single, solitary show date in North America, this time at Yankee Stadium in New York. On September 14th, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax will come together (again) for what is promising to be the North American metal event of the year(again). Again the question is, of course, is this massive metal machine plotting a course for a bigger tour across North America to come later or will they just keep torturing their fans in the midwest? Slayer already has a summer tour lined up with Rob Zombie, and Megadeth is headlining Mayhem. There may be just enough room to squeeze in one or two more dates.

When pestered Slayers' Kerry King is still mum on the subject. Texas metal fans I'm trying...
