Since most of us don't live in or near Bulgaria, we missed out when the 'Big Four' -- Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax -- took the stage together for the first time ever on June 22. The event was beamed live into 1,000 theaters globally via satellite, so it was kinda like being there. However, if you want to enjoy the four legends of thrash metal in the comfort of your own home, you can on Nov. 2. That's when 'The Big Four Live From Sofia' lands in stores.

'The Big Four Live From Sofia' includes full shows from all four bands on a two-disc set, as well as behind-the-scenes and interview footage. Warner Bros. will release the monumental DVD.

In addition to the two-disc set and the corresponding Blu-ray, there will be a limited-edition 'Super Deluxe' version including the two DVDs, five CDs with all five hours of music, a 24-page booklet, a two-sided poster, photos of each band and a collectible Big Four guitar pick.

Lars Ulrich of Metallica said, "Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal's Big Four would not only still be around, be more popular than ever, playing shows together at stadiums all over Europe, and on top of that, coming to a movie theater near you in high definition (for better or worse??!!). Bring it on!"

Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian also said, "Damn, as if this [Big Four] tour wasn't exciting enough now we get to be on the big screen worldwide! Metal at the movies, two big horns up! It is unbelievably gratifying that this means so much to the metal community around the globe. Get your tix, grab some popcorn and get ready to bang your head!"

Slayer's Kerry King commented, "I can't believe someone didn't make this happen 15 years ago! The fans finally get what they want. I think it's awesome!"

From the mouth of Megadeth's Dave Mustaine: "The magnitude of this event hasn't really sunk in yet, and I am thrilled to know that people around the planet will be able to walk into a movie theater and experience the greatest lineup of heavy metal in the history of the world!"
