So the Coachella organizers had an empty slot between the Coachella festival itself and the much more chill Stagecoach "Americana" festival and, as everyone knows by now, they offered it to Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer for the first American version of the Big Four festival they've been performing for fans of the "white angry men of the '80s with guitars" genre. This is exciting, right? But the uncomfortable question remains, who's the biggest of the Big Four?:

Is it Metallica?:

Is it Megadeth?:

Is it Slayer?:

Or is it Anthrax?:

What do YOU think?

Before seeing the Big Four live, I was definitely going to say Metallica. But after the show, Slayer for sure!

Metallica is like pop metal to me. I say its Anthrax or Megadeth.

I think it's rather obvious that Metallica is the biggest band when it comes to success. However, I feel the best band of the four is Slayer. I know some of the albums without Lombardo lagged a bit, but talk about sticking to your guns - Slayer are as heavy now as they were in 1987. Fingers crossed I can make this show!
