Because... it's Metallica.

The guys who for some reason, are the biggest name in the Big Four and one of, if not the biggest in metal as a whole.

Yeah, I thought that that would be totally obvious and clear. Also for the Metallica haters

I just watched the show over the internet and in my opinion, metallica put up a better show than the rest of them simply becuase they had more time, and they were the last band which means they performed in night so they could use some light tricks and fireworks to make their show more and more epic...also kirk was on his best and except from a little part on "one" he played perfectly!
Slayer was as always good without any exception, they were tired in the middle but they managed to keep it up and end their show with making the crowd to go nuts on raining blood
Megadeth really had the crowd going after anthrax's failure, their music was really the best among the big 4 but dave had a lot of problems singing, you could barely hear him singing when they were playing...
and anthrax, the worst part, simply more like a joke for the big 4, I think if it wasn't for commercial reasons, exodus or testament would be better choices for sonisphere big 4 than anthrax!

at overall, it was fun to watch, and it worth spending money on it!

Finally i watched this DVD, Metallica were the best, then Slayer(loved when they said "thanks" in bulgarian, then Anthrax & Megadeth(Dave really disappointed me), i can't rate it as 10 because of the weak performance by Anthrax and Megadeth, so am gonna rate it as 9 instead, and cheers for the crazy crowd they were amazing!!

It's just too bad they didn't tour north america, because, you know, NA is where they made their names.

those bands were actually big in Europe before they broke it big time in the US. Here they were already filling 10,000 seaters on their own when they could sell out a 1,000 seater on their own the US

I watched this in a local movie theater soon after it was filmed, and it really didn't move me to want to buy it. Metallica was good, professional as always, and Slayer were decent, though their passion is less and less on the emotional side each time I see them. Megadeth was terrible, Dave was basically unlistenable and made for nearly an hour's worth of jokes and cringes about his atrocious singing. Honestly, I enjoyed Anthrax the most, as they felt more alive and had the only hint of raw, personal energy of the four. I hadn't listened to any of these bands much in ten years, but at this point, the only one I'd care about seeing live right now would be Anthrax.

None of the guys I went to see this with have any interest in buying this either, honestly...

I must say Metallica had a realy bad show, they played so bad and the sound was crap, i almoas only heard the vocal. the slayer guys looked and played like they would rather be anywhere else. Megadeth was the band who playd best i think, even though Mustains vocal was terrible. Anthrax playd with moast heart and performed the best show on this dvd.

They have shared a stage before

yup, i agree with ya, on the live show AND this DVD. i witnessed the big 4 show just after this one, in Bucharest, and Anthrax was indeed the band who was most "into it" by far. they played the tightest and with the most audience communication, Mustaine's vocals and guitar tone sucked majorly and the guys at Slayer played really fucking tight but they looked way too bored. at least these 3 bands played well, unlike....

Metallica was so goddamned half-assed on this DVD. the first 2 songs were obviously played WAY too fast for Lars' skills, and they cleverly edit his psychoticly out-of-sync bassdrums out of the mix on all the songs. good job, mr. marketing executive! but they couldn't edit Kirk's multiple fuck-ups during the by far EASIEST song of the whole show: For Whom the Bell Tolls. for fuck's sake, if i was in front of 40.000 screaming fans, filming a DVD and broadcasting the show worldwide i would have at least some respect for all those people and play as good as i can, but i guess fame and arrogance have taken their toll. Hetfield's vocals are also weak, and generally the band sounds loose as hell, the best thing about the Metallica part is of course James' guitar playing which is great as usual. the version of the song "One" proves every negative things i said about the Metallica show: if you notice carefully, the part right before the machine gun riff sounds without bass drums. they edited them out because they were embarassingly out of time.


they were completely underwhelming, and the latter part of this DVD sucks hard. if on the other hand they made a DVD of the Accept show in Istanbul or Bucharest it would have been infinitely better, but it's cold hard money we're talking here, not artistic dedication and fulfillment :

apart from Anthrax's show, this is a goddamned overpriced piece of shit.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. instead, compare these two videos, one taken 20 years ago and one from one year ago:

Creeping Death live in Moscow 1991

Creeping Death live in Sofia 2010

the Moscow video isn't without fuck-ups, but it's infinitely better in so many ways, including Jason's devastating vocals which add so much more heaviness to the song.

Megadeth was the best in my opinion. Metallica wasn't their best but still good. Slayer was okay. Anthrax was the most excited band there and they were the 2nd best in my opinion. Overall

Dave pulled the same trick on Rock In Rio here in Portugal, which was really embarassing and to have that embarassment on DVD is even more embarrassing!

In the last gig with Slayer here, though, a few months ago, he was fine.

I bought the dvd about a year ago and I really enjoy watching this. In my opinion Anthrax had the most energy but I wish they could change their playlist a little. Megadeth was amazing but I wish they could have done the rust in peace album live because It was during the rust in peace tour. Slayer was pretty good. Metallica of course put on an amazing show. But I do wish that James would sing a bit more like he used to, not saying there's anything bad with how he sings. Overall an amazing dvd and I'm glad I let that out.:dshy:

That was the initial premise, but they decided they could do a lot of money in Portugal, so they moved it to here. In 2011, it returned to Brazil and in 2012 is coming back to Lisbon again, with the same bands everytime, Metallica.

Who was playing there this year in terms of metal bands, Slipknot and who else? I was hoping for Black Sabbath this year, but of course that is very unlikely.

Hard to say... I saw only some artists on the television. You speak portuguese, don't you? Check in this this site the sections "palco mundo" and "palco sunset". There's many artists mixed, from metal, rock and pop music. Also some brazilian artists/groups not related to rock/metal are included (claudia leitte ), and there's many bands I don't know (COHEED AND CAMBRIA). I saw Metallica, Slipknot, Motôrhead, and System Of A Down, in terms of metal...
