This just became the MUST SEE tour of the Summer, as far as I'm concerned. We just got an official press release stating that on the upcoming American Carnage tour both co-headlining acts, Slayer and Megadeth will each be playing their classic 1990 releases (Seasons in the Abyss and Rust In Peace respectively) in it's entirety. Wow! These are two seminal metal albums being performed in celebration of their 20th Anniversary. Needless to say, it's possible some of these songs will never be played again. Oh, and did we mention fuckin' Testament is opening the tour? This is definitely the most ridiculous bill of the summer, and a show that a jaded fan like myself can get really excited about.
