CHECK OUT A PHOTO OF THE BIG FOUR TOGETHER AGAIN!

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax will play together for the first time in history tonight at the Sonisphere festival at Bemowo Airport in Warsaw, Poland. Check out the first photo of all the members of the four bands (minus SLAYER guitarist Jeff Hanneman) hanging out in a room together, apparently taken yesterday. This is just such a cool picture to see, and it's really great for metal music. A larger picture is below.

Kerry King on the show: "It's about fucking time this happened, and about time the fans finally get what they want. This is fucking awesome."

Scott Ian said: "People have been talking about these four bands playing together since 1984. That's twenty-six years of expectation!! And the thing is, I believe not only will we live up to the expectations, we will shatter them! No other four bands as influential as the four of us have ever done this. Imagine if THE BEATLES, STONES, THE WHO and ZEPPELIN had done shows? Or SABBATH, PRIEST, MAIDEN, MOTÖRHEAD? Well, I may be getting into some rarified air here but as a fan, that's how big I feel this is."
