Megadeth,Testament,Exodus

I hope Megadeth extend this to UK, this would be (nearly) as awesome as Maiden's somewhere back in time gig.

What's "Classic" about it when they're on their fifth drummer? :ROTF:

Fifth??? more like tenth .....And what makes it the "Classic" lineup is that Bostaph was originally in the band back in what 93 I think? so that puts it a what 16-17 years ago so that would make it "Classic" in the music sense

Ugh, nothing near CT...fml.

True. Though, how many of them have actually been official members? Louie Clemente, John Tempesta, Paul Bostaph. Gene Hoglan and Dave Lombardo played on albums, but were never true members. I think Nick Barker was supposed to be in the band but had a problem with his visa or something. Who else did they have?

11.Steve Jacobs...Tour on two different legs and for two different albums

I am not sure what it takes to be a member of Testament but if you played a few gig's or recorded a track and collected a paycheck then IMO you have been a member.

Fucking lame, not a single Euro date. Seems to me Exodus plays a far more domestic shows than foreign.

No complaining. You guys (and by that I mean Europe) get the Sonisphere festival. Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, Motorhead, Heaven and Hell.

Damn, that sure is a lot! I forgot about the other touring drummers. At least their drummers don't explode like Spinal Tap's. :ROTF:
Before the Low album, John Tempesta also was on The Ritual. And I remember the rest of the band getting a little upset/pissed when he left to join White Zombie because he was offered more money.

[jacksonaxes]

As far as i'm concerned the 2 core members are there, chuck billy, and eric peterson.

:ROTF: No they dont but the way they go through them you'd think they did.

I knew I was forgetting an album and someone; just so many to keep track of

Dang, Asheville NC date in a nice place. Hard to believe they'd book a 1000 person capacity venue. Is that the state of old school metal today WTF. Wondering if camera policy would allow DSLR with multiple lenses. hmmm

I've already got my tickets for Asheville. Are you going to be there?

[gmbob22]

[tmmsjm]
