On Monday Slayer's Kerry King On Big 4 Rivalry was a top story. Here is the recap: (Metal Hammer) Slayer guitarist Kerry King has joked that the Big 4 of thrash don't feel like rivals any more, except for Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine. And he's admitted his band won't go on for ever, although he's not ready to stop just yet. Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica and Anthrax became known as the Big 4 during their rise to fame in the 1980s.

They didn't perform together until 2010. Asked whether he ever felt current tourmates Anthrax were ever viewed as rivals, King tells the Miami New Times: "Yeah, for sure, when the Big 4 came out.

"When we did Clash Of The Titans tour around 1990, you couldn't really be at war after that point. We thought we were better than everybody. I would imagine Anthrax probably did too. Dave Mustaine thinks that to this day!" Read more - here.
