h, what says summer more than heavy power chords, long greasy hair, and lyrics about Satan? For metalheads, Masters of Metal might as well be Woodstock. Four of the most legendary metal bands have been assembled on the same stage today with a 4:30 pm start time, presumably not to upset residents. Headlining the tour is Judas Priest, a band who has just released its most ambitious album after almost 40 years together. But challenging Priest for top band honour has got to be Motörhead, whose combination of heavy metal with punk rock speed defined an entire genre (for those keeping track, that genre is thrash metal). Then you've got Testament, yet another legend. And finally Heaven and Hell, a band whose moniker may not be initially familiar. The band is essentially the Dio-fronted Black Sabbath, but with a new title. This tour should just be called Masters of Metal 1983.
