The original ‘Big Four” refers to the four main bands who pushed thrash metal into the mainstream back in the ‘80s – Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.

All four of them fianlly played together for the first time back in 2010, playing a total of six shows at that year’s Sonisphere festival series, before coming together the following year for a ‘Big Four’ concert at the Yankee Stadium in New York.

Desde então, eles só se apresentaram juntos algumas vezes, incluindo um slot no festival Soundwave da Austrália em 2013, e no festival Heavy MTL do Canadá em 2014.

Now, in a recent interview with Czech Republic outlet Óčko, Mustaine has spoken about the four bands he would select if he had to “put together a new generation” of the ‘Big Four’.

Mustaine também já demonstrou sua apreciação pelo Exodus no passado, e em 2013 afirmou que acha que os gigantes do thrash da Califórnia seriam a banda que ele gostaria de ver incluída caso o ‘Big Four’ fosse ampliado para o ‘Big Five’.

In 2022, the thrash icon also spoke about the idea of one more show between the original ‘Big Four’, where they could “pass the torch” to a “new ‘Big Four’”.

While the ‘Big Four’ helped bring thrash into the mainstream, Judas Priest’s Rob Halford has revealed that he has toyed with the idea of making a UK equivalent of the ‘Big Four’, but comprised of acts who pioneered heavy metal: Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Motörhead and Iron Maiden.

Falando com a NME no início deste ano, Mustaine relembrou a explosão do thrash metal nos anos 80 e compartilhou se acredita ou não que um movimento semelhante possa ser possível agora.
