Metal fans will have to settle for the "American Carnage Tour" featuring half of the Big Four - Slayer and Megadeth - not a complete surprise as Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has a notoriously rocky relationship with the commercial powerhouse of thrash, Metallica, whom Mustaine played guitar with for a short time. Slayer and Megadeth may not be the most thrilling tag team from the thrash bunch, but they'll have to do for now.

I had tried to have it fixed but it was too heavy for a standard forklift to move. It was a small company I was working for at the time and we didn&#39;t have the resources to fix it..Between me and my delivery stood the Sierra Nevada mountains..We truck drivers are obligated to deliver. Fearing for my very life and feeling as prone as I have ever been I started the climb..when I turned in the direction of the lean the trailer would tilt dangerously far out. My nerves were shattered and my mortality was as close as it had ever been. when I couldn&#39;t take the stress anymore &quot;The world I know&quot; popped into my mind and I scrambled to find the disc..I fired up the song with tears in my eyes and an intense feeling running through me. I sang along and considered what my death might mean and what my life was worth..After the track, I caught my breath and with a renewed sense of determination I carried on. I wanted to live to see another day and knew that my love for Collective Soul would last forever. Thank you for the feelings you have given me over the years.</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2009-06-30T07:46:26Z 2009-06-30T07:46:26Z Taarakian
