We're already excited about the Metal Masters 5 All-Star jam based on the initial announcement, but now the line-up has gotten even sweeter!
In addition to the already stacked lineup that features all those ridiculous names up top, the jam sesh has just added Testament frontman Chuck Billy to come in and do some covers. A very reliable source has clued me into the material that Chuck will be belting out and while I can't get into specifics because they believe in this bullshit theory called "surprise," I can say it's going to be epic as fuck.
The opening act for the show has also been announced and this is going to be HUGE: Altitudes & Attitudes, the new band formed by Dave Ellefson of Megadeth and Frankie Bello of Anthrax will be performing live for the very first time at the event and will be joined for this one-time only performance by Chris Broderick of Megadeth on guitars and Mike Portnoy on drums. This will be the only time you will see this lineup together and it's going to be awesome.
So if you're going to be in the Aneheim area, there are still a very limited amount of tickets on sale for the show on January 22nd. Snag them here.
But what if you can't make it down, you say? Fret not, Gear Gods, the only website for the heavy music community will be streaming the entire event for free, worldwide as it's happening as part of it's NAMM week coverage, it's going to be awesome!
