The Big 4 were the leaders of the wave of mostly American metal bands that came after the New Wave of British Heavy Metal that kicked open the door for metal bands. Maiden,Def Leppard and Saxon were the leaders of this group.I figured RW would be throwing in a Maiden pick. #### Anthrax - Maiden needs to be in that mix of the big 4 (I get it, people were talking about speed/thrash metal, and that's not what Maiden was). I will take something by metal's red headed step child.

I was talking about the solos, and just love what they did with this song, with the speed and tone changes building up to that 40 sec solo starting around the 5min mark.
I never got into Anthrax much either but have seen them a couple times as an opening band.
