Everyone called it; it was too easy. So far there are only a few dates but here is the official press release (Partial at the bottom) for the Megadeth/Slayer tour with poster. Three bands that have had feuds, Megadeth-Slayer-Machine Head. Hopefully all the boys are grown up now and there won’t be any stupidness between them. Suicide Silence will be opening the shows. No idea of there will be more dates with this line-up but we can only hope.

Monday, April 27, 2009 — Talk about a mind-blowing line-up.  Slayer and Megadeth – two of the bands that defined the thrash/metal genre – will perform together for the first time in more than 15 years when they co-headline four shows in Canada in late June.  The tour, dubbed “Canadian Carnage,” will also feature Machine Head and Suicide Silence, and will see Megadeth and Slayer each closing two of the four shows.  Tickets will go on sale Saturday, May 2, and will be available at all Ticketmaster outlets and at Ticketmaster online.
