Metal show of the century only in Europe :(

What I would GIVE to see this show live

~~"The Big Four: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax" are bringing their historic European tour to the global stage with a concert shown via satellite in HighDefinition (HD) in Cineplex Entertainment theatres across the country. These four legendary acts broke out of the underground thrash movement in the 1980's to dominate the metal world, selling millions of records and packing arenas across the globe. Despite huge demand, these musical giants have never shared the same stage until now. The legendary concert from the tour's stop at the Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria will air on Tuesday, June 22nd at more than 65 Cineplex theatres in Canada.

In December 2009, the bands announced that they would be joining forces to take part in the traveling Sonisphere Festival for only seven shows across Europe. Now, this onetime only event from the Sofia show makes it possible for fans far and wide to participate in what otherwise is a very limited run of dates. The HD concert presentation will memorialize the event and the impact will be amplified globally with the cinema screenings, making the dreams of fans around the world over become a reality.

Lars Ulrich of Metallica says of this historic announcement, "Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal's Big Four would not only still be around, be more popular than ever, playing shows together at stadiums all over Europe, and on top of that, coming to a movie theatre near you in High Definition (for better or worse??!!). Bring it on!" Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says "Damn, as if this Big Four tour wasn't exciting enough now we get to be on the big screen worldwide! Metal at the movies, two big horns up! It is unbelievably gratifying that this means so much to the metal community around the globe. Get your tix, grab some popcorn and get ready to bang your head!"

Declares Slayer's Kerry King, "I can't believe someone didn't make this happen 15 years ago!

The fans finally get what they want. I think it's awesome!"

Says Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, "The magnitude of this event hasn't really sunk in yet, and I am thrilled to know that people around the planet will be able to walk into a movie theatre and experience the greatest line up of Heavy Metal in the history of the world!"

"Cineplex Entertainment is pleased to bring this historic event to our guests across the country," said Pat Marshall, Vice President, Communications and Investor Relations, Cineplex Entertainment. "For one night only, fans can gather together at Cineplex theatres to experience a rock concert louder and harder than ever before, making you feel like you are headbanging with the crowd in Sofia, Bulgaria."

How stupid is this that these 4 bands changed music in NA but this tour is in Europe?

I have a feeling Cineplex is going be less than pleased with the outcome. Its going to be CRAZY! Imagine bands that always play sold out shows even at huge arenas. When I saw Metallica at the fairgrounds in Pecatonica they later said there was over 50,000 people there. How can anyone think that a show of this magnitude can be played at a movie theater and there not be problems? Oh I'll go, no matter how silly I think it may be. I'll still go but I'm willing to bet it will be the first and only Cineplex presentation with security/police at every door and in every hall. People sneaking alcohol in and who knows what else. I bet the crowd will make it well worth my while to go see the big 4 at the movie theater behind my house

We are working on this event right now actually :p

I work at CineMec infotainment centre in the Netherlands. (technical/movie department)

The main event will be held at our expo theatre, housing just short of 1040 people.

Looking forward to working on that date
