Best "Big 4" Performance..

[biafra]

I got the Big 4 DVD for Christmas and wondered how other folks have have heard it would rank the performances.

I'd probably go

1. Slayer
2. Megadeth
3. Anthrax
4. Metallica

Which is odd, because I consider Metallica to be good live and better songwriters than the other three put together. I thought Megadeth was great, Slayer blew me away, Anthrax was decent and Metallica had great songs but the performances weren't as energetic as I'd expected. Maybe it was playing after Slayer and their intensity that was the reason for the let down. Don't get me wrong, the Metallica performance wasn't bad but to me it just didn't measure up to the others.

If we're talking about how much energy and how pumped the bands were to be playing, the winner is (and probably always is in comparison to the other three) Anthrax, and it's really not close.

Slayer, maybe in the volume and speed of their music...yeah, I can understand that. Still give it to Anthrax as far as their onstage performance and just overall craziness.
