as far as being a truly classic metal album.\u00a0 Just last month it was announced that the American Carnage Tour featuring Slayer, Megadeth and Testament had been canceled due to Slayer singer\/bassist Tom Araya&#8217;s back surgery.\u00a0 Yesterday it was announced that Megadeth would instead be taking to the road on their own with the &#8220;Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary&#8221; Tour.\u00a0 Megadeth will be performing &#8220;Rust In Peace&#8221; in it&#8217;s entirety along with other selections as well.\u00a0 Joining them on this tour will be two Heavy Metal legends, Testament and Exodus.\u00a0 This should prove to be a great fucking time and in all honesty, I think I&#8217;m more looking forward to this one than I was the Slayer tour.<\/p>\n<p>This tour also has the bands performing in more intimate venues which should make for a really amazing experience seeing all these heavyweight legends.\u00a0 At last account, Testament was planning on performing &#8220;The Legacy&#8221; in it&#8217;s entirety so we can only hope for this as this could possibly be a contender for tour of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Megadeth &#8220;Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour&#8221; w\/ Testament &amp;
