Joined by the rest of the Big Four on stage…
Metallica were joined onstage by Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer on stage in their set to close out the first day of Sonisphere. The band played a fifteen song set at the festival and a three-song encoure with Diamond Head coming onto the stage for a cover of their song "Am I Evil?"
"Is there another band playing or something," said James Hetfield during the set. "What's all this extra gear? It's 'The Big Four Band', does that sound like a good idea? Celebrating 30 years of Metallica, we invite Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth and hopefully someone from Diamond Head to put the cherry on top."
