If you could choose 4 metal bands to see in a "Big 4" type situation, who would they be?
For obvious reasons you can't pick Metallica AND Maiden - they're both huge, neither would agree to being anything other than headliner (and no rotating headliners right?! )
You should, ideally, in the spirit of it, pick bands based on their success, sales wise or whatever (not critical acclaim FFS) in the past few years (or at their peak if they've folded for some reason). It's not just "list your four favourite bands", cos they'd have to fit on the same bill so not much point having Gorgoroth, Nile, Def Leppard and AC/DC (although that would be pretty sweet).
Mine:
Opener - Annihilator
Second - Anthrax
Third - Pantera
Headliner - Maiden
